People in small mountain villages are paying more and more attention to the changes in the outside world, and they have heard that some people have made money by selling cold noodles in provincial capitals, and they have heard that some people have made money by transporting building materials to special economic zones, etc., which have become topics that people like to inquire about and discuss. At the end of the week, Qinyin returned to the village, and some people still asked her, "Your radio station is well-informed, and if you have heard any news?" But some people also say that there is no need to ask Qinyin, Qinyin doesn't know at all, when she goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something, she asks Aunt Chen of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and she knows everything.

The supply and marketing cooperative, Aunt Chen, and Qinyin are all too familiar with this place and this person.

The supply and marketing cooperatives are a place that evokes Kotoin's childhood memories and is a place that Koon frequented at the beginning of the eighties. Qin Yin remembers that the lamp oil and flashlight of the kerosene lamp at home, the pencil case from school when he was a child, the nine-square grid paper, pens, etc., were all bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. After the field was divided into households, Qinyin often followed Qin's father and mother to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy fertilizers.

At that time, there were department stores in the county town and commune, and supply and marketing cooperatives in the brigades below the commune. The small mountain village where Qinyin is located has a small population and no special supply and marketing cooperatives, so when buying things, you often have to walk a mountain road to the supply and marketing cooperatives of the brigade to buy. The surrounding small mountain villages all buy things in the same supply and marketing cooperative.

For Qinyin, who grew up in a small mountain village, the supply and marketing cooperatives became a magical place that could meet all her needs in that era of extreme poverty. Here, she was able to see things that she couldn't see anywhere else, such as pots, such as candy that wasn't available anywhere else. Not to mention the sound of the qin, in fact, people in the mountainous areas like to come to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, but there is not much money. Who wouldn't want to buy more if they had money?

Qinyin has been working part-time at the radio station for almost a year, with a few yuan subsidy every month, and when she goes home, she begins to know how to buy a small amount of candy and the like, so that her family can eat something sweet. Life is still poor, and the family rarely eats sweet things, and they especially like to eat sweet things.

often patronized the supply and marketing cooperatives, and became familiar with the two salesmen in the supply and marketing cooperatives. The two salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperative, one is an old man, he doesn't like to talk much, he sells what people buy, and he rarely has a smile on his face. The other is a middle-aged woman with a very sweet mouth and also loves to talk to people.

Qin Yin went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, and liked to meet middle-aged women, not old men.

Every time I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something, the old man always didn't say a word, and he would give whatever Qin Yin bought. Qin Yin finished shopping and left, not even hearing the old man's voice. And the middle-aged women patiently let the qin yin choose, and will also introduce new things to the qin yin, ask qin yin about life matters, and talk about some family life. Over time, the two became acquainted.

The sweet-mouthed middle-aged woman of the supply and marketing cooperatives is Aunt Chen.

Slowly, the supply and marketing cooperatives are not only a place to buy things, but also a distribution center for rural information. Because people from the surrounding villages go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, when chatting with Aunt Chen, the parents are short and can talk about anything. Those who went out, those who came back, all kinds of people, men, women and children, all who went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, chatted with Aunt Chen very well. People told Aunt Chen what they knew, and they asked Aunt Chen about some things they wanted to know.

Aunt Chen told Qinyin that in the past, what the supply and marketing cooperatives sold, people could only buy, but now it is different, and some people in the village take the initiative to ask the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some goods that they have not purchased before. For example, some people in Dakang Village asked the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy more urea fertilizer, and they were ready to plant vegetables on a large scale; for example, Ah Gui from your small mountain village once came to the supply and marketing cooperatives to inquire about whether there was pig bran and chicken bran, and said that they wanted to raise pigs and chickens, and so on.

Qin Yin said that now the people in the village like to inquire about going out to make money. Aunt Chen said, yes, Ah Quan in your village often asks about going to the provincial capital and special zone to work, and there is a person in Dakang Village who bought a bicycle, and also ordered a lot of water pipes in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the water pipes are circled around the bicycle, and people ride in the middle, and go to various parts of the province to help people dig wells, a well costs 30 yuan, sometimes it is completed in three or two days, and a lot of money is made.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, all I hear is fresh and hot news. Even people like Qin Yin with a forty-year-old mindset feel fresh, let alone other villagers?

At the beginning, Aunt Chen liked to chat with Qin Yin very much, and Qin Yin also liked Aunt Chen, and the two talked about everything. Every time Qinyin goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two cents of candy, she always chats with Aunt Chen for twenty or thirty minutes. When he returned to the village, he told the villagers the news he had heard from Aunt Chen.

This continued for several months. Later, Aunt Chen saw Qinyin, but she rarely talked about the issues that everyone cared about, and she liked to talk more and more about who was in the family and what the family did.

Even just talk about what you're doing at the radio station, how often you go home, when you go home, in short, become a mother-in-law. It doesn't have the feeling of talking about the world at all. Qin Yin tried to turn the topic back to "national affairs", but Aunt Chen's non-stop words brought back to "family affairs". It's helpless.

Qin Yin quietly wondered if he had said something that he shouldn't have said reached Aunt Chen's ears, and if there was something bad about him that Aunt Chen knew, so he didn't like herself. If you think about it carefully, it's not right, although Aunt Chen doesn't like to talk about topics with herself, but I feel that Aunt Chen likes herself more, every time Qinyin buys candy, Aunt Chen smiles and gives two or three more candies.

Until one day, when Qinyin went home, he went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy candy, only the old man was there, saving trouble, and there was no need to say anything, Qinyin put two cents on the glass table of the counter, and the old man took the money, wrapped the fruit candy, and put it on the glass countertop, and Qinyin took the candy and left.

Back in the corner of the house, Qin Yin heard the lively laughter in the house. It's a guest, Kotone thought.

Stepping into the threshold, good fellow, Aunt Chen and a man with clear eyebrows were sitting next to the Eight Immortals table at home. The mother was busy pouring tea and water to entertain her. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are large bags and small bags wrapped in red bags.

Aunt Chen! Qin Yin blurted out and screamed.

Finally back!" Aunt Chen replied with a smile, standing up and reading the piano. The man next to him also stood up. Aunt Chen said to the man first, this is the sound of the piano that I often mention to you. Then he said to Qinyin, this is my son, named Wang Zhi. Qin Yin and Wang Zhi nodded to each other.

Aunt Chen's mouth is very good at talking, she pointed to the big and small red bags on the table, and said in a kind tone, "These things are all fruits brought back from my family from other places, wine, sugar and the like, all of which are not available in the mountains in our area, let you taste them." ”

"Oh, such a valuable thing, Aunt Chen should keep it for her own family or relatives, we don't dare to ask for these things. "Qin Yin really hasn't seen so many good things, and he was flustered for a while, and he didn't know how to beat around the bush and refused the gift directly.

The mother gave the sound of the piano a look, and the mother and daughter moved outside the house under the pretext.

Qin's mother quietly told Qinyin that their family has taken a fancy to you, and they brought their son on a blind date today. People's mother is a salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative, and my father is a grain station worker, the conditions are very good, and it is also your blessing that people can take a fancy to you, so you have to grasp it well.

Qinyin subconsciously replied to her mother. And in the depths of Qin Yin's heart, the first time I saw Wang Zhi just now, I felt that Wang Zhi had a temperament that rural people did not have, what it was, Qin Yin was difficult to describe, anyway, it was a lovely feeling. With this look, she really liked the feeling of the other party.

However, I usually chatted with Aunt Chen, and Aunt Chen didn't even say hello in advance, and suddenly brought her son to the house and gave so many expensive gifts. Qin Yin felt an indescribable awkwardness in her heart.
