Chapter 69: Life is getting better
On the way, Yoyo saw a vegetable store in a grocery store, with a pile of cabbage and potatoes at the door, so he walked in with his grandmother. Now I have just had lunch, and there is no one in the grocery store to buy anything, so two salespeople are loading goods.
In the end, it is a regional city, and there are more than a dozen kinds of vegetables in the store, including fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow shoots, small rape, small cabbage, celery, and leeks. The price is written on the small blackboard, cucumbers and tomatoes are two cents a pound, and most of the others are a dime a pound.
There are also dried vegetables such as fungus, white fungus, golden needle cabbage, and there are several kinds of dried mushrooms alone: shiitake mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, tea oil mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, pine mushrooms, bamboo sunflowers, etc., all of which are contained in small glass cabinets, and the above label says the price, the most expensive bamboo sunflower is two cents a catty, and the rest are below five cents. Thinking of the rich aroma of various mushrooms, my saliva is about to flow down.
The price of dried seafood is too cheap, the shrimp skin is one cent and eighty-one catties, and the sea rice is more than one inch, and one catty is only eight cents and six catties. Three or four kinds of salted dried fish of different sizes cost two cents.
Vermicelli, crust and various spices are very complete.
Pork has a special counter with a thick plastic sheet on top. However, it has been sold out, and only a few knives are placed on it.
You pulled grandma, grandma looked at her like that, and she knew that her hunger was up. "What do you want, you order grandma to buy. ”
"Do you want a ticket?" asked Grandma.
"Comrade, can you buy anything here?" asked the salesman.
"Auntie, there are more things now, except for pork and eggs, what do you want?" the salesman replied enthusiastically.
"That's good, I'll ask for more. ”
You whispered to your grandmother, and your grandmother told the salesperson again. All kinds of dry goods should be discussed. This is still a pound of dry goods seen by Youyou, and the salesman weighed it three or four times with a weighing pan, and it was piled up together, and he deliberately asked for less. According to Yoyo's original intention, everything has to cost ten catties and eight catties.
The quality of the current dry goods is good, clean and dry without adulteration. One pound is more than five pounds in later generations.
The salesman enthusiastically reminded grandma: "Auntie, it's hot, these things are so insectial, you can't let go of them if you want more." ”
"My family has a happy event, and there is not much left for the table, thank you, comrade. "Grandma's reaction is so fast.
Youyou thought to himself, all kinds of time-traveling novels are written, all kinds of things in the seventies need tickets and non-staple food books, why no one writes a lot of things in the seven-five years without tickets. I knew that I bought it the first time I came, and these two moonshine ate wild vegetables.
The counter of the grocery store is high and made of bricks. Youyou secretly took out two sacks from the space below, ripped off grandma's clothes, and grandma looked down and saw it.
I bought a total of more than a dozen kinds of dry goods, almost forty catties, and it didn't cost thirty yuan to add them together. handed over the money, and the salesman helped grandma put it into the sack.
Then I bought vegetables, since there was no limit, my grandmother made an excuse again, and bought everything of ten catties and twenty catties, and suddenly filled two sacks. These are all standard green vegetables, and you can't eat a tomato and nibble on a cucumber right away.
I asked for all kinds of spices, found a tricycle at the door, and went directly to the bus station. At the baggage drop-off desk, Yoyo saw that there was no one left and right, and quickly put two bags of vegetables into the space.
Sitting in the car, Yoyo took out the cucumbers and tomatoes that had been washed in the space, and ate them deliciously. Grandma sighed while eating: "No wonder everyone wants to go to the city as a worker to eat national food, the life of people in the city is good, and there is not even a fresh vegetable in our village until now."
This green vegetable is a little more expensive, but it tastes so refreshing. Earlier, only large families could afford to build greenhouses, and the little greens they planted were rare to eat during the New Year. If you have money, you don't have anywhere to buy it.
If you want to say that New China is good, as soon as the weather gets warmer, there are so many old fresh dishes, which are sold out in piles. It's a pity, we don't have any money now. ”
Listen leisurely and support your forehead, "Grandma, let's say that there is no money, who is rich, you are reluctant to spend it." Besides, this dish is only a dime or two, can it still be considered expensive?"
"One or two cents is not expensive, what is expensive, you are young and don't know, in the summer, cucumber beans are two or three cents a pound, and no one buys them.
Our family is rich now, not to mention the ten miles and eight townships, even the whole county and the whole area must be counted. But grandma has been used to (saving) in the past few years, and she really can't change it for a while. ”
Normal open-field vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables have just emerged in this season, and it seems that the current vegetable production has arch warming technology.
Originally, there were all kinds of seasonal vegetables in the mall, but there was no legitimate excuse, and grandma would never let her take them out. When the two of them went in, they ate some fruits and drank a glass of milk, and they really hadn't eaten vegetables.
Now, with the vegetables in the city as a cover, I can finally let go of the amount of food. Grandma said so reasonably, I don't dare to spend money if I have money, and I have to endure what I eat.
Youyou slept when he got in the car, and when he returned to Zhangji, his grandmother woke up. I originally wanted to discuss short-sleeved clothes with my grandmother in the car, but this small body is not strong, and the habit of taking a long nap in later generations has also been brought over.
Grandma asked someone to help carry the sack into the purchasing station, and the stationmaster called a staff member to calculate the account for the eggs handed over to grandma, and grandma drove the donkey cart back to the village. On the way, he walked to no man's land, and Yoyo took all kinds of things out of the space and put a full cart.
After returning home and unloading the goods, grandma took out the things given by Li Baoguo. There are not only roast beef, but also roast mutton in the oil paper bag, both of which cost more than two catties.
Now that the temperature is high, cooked meat can't stay overnight. Grandma left a small half, and took the rest to her uncle's house, and brought a basket of various fresh vegetables.
At dinner, Hao Hao and Didi shouted deliciously and asked what kind of meat it was. I ate with a round stomach and refused to put chopsticks.
Grandpa looked at them and said sadly: "The children have been dragged down by me, they have grown so big, not to mention eating many things, they have never seen them." ”
Dad persuaded him: "Dad, I also dragged the whole family down, didn't follow my mother back here, I don't know if our family has it."
You see our family, isn't it very good in the village, your old man's body is much stronger than before, this is the blessing of our younger generations.
Besides, the children are still young, and the days to come will be like that, who knows what will happen in the future?"
Grandpa also nodded: "That's true, now our family is healthy, although your talent is buried here, but the villagers recognize you, and everyone admires you when you mention it, and my face is also brightened." ”
Hearing this, Yoyo improvised a song "Getting Better and Better", which was changed to a mess by Yoyo, but it fits the current atmosphere. At the end of the song, Hao Hao and Didi also sang: "Better and better, better and better......"
Mom also sang quietly until Yoyo stopped. Hurriedly asked, "Where did you learn?"
"I won't tell you. Yoyo deliberately got angry with her, thinking: I just told you, can you believe it?
"My family is leisurely and smart, and I need to learn from others, and I think for myself. "Look, it's still grandma at the critical time.
"What's the use of being smart, if it's in the capital, I'll hire a special teacher for her. Mom said regretfully.
Thinking of the children of later generations, there are countless specialty classes, and Yoyo was shocked. For the sake of his happy childhood, he will follow his grandmother closely in the future, and he will resolutely not go to Beijing with his mother.
"Don't be presumptuous, have a little confidence, didn't I learn it from your old man. We can't play the harmonica, we can't sing yet. "Yoyo hurriedly patted his ass, and in the future, he will have to point to this master to teach that.
"Look at this child, the two boys are not as poor as her, and your mother is used to you. "Mom is helpless.
