Chapter 99: Pingcheng

Uncle and grandma felt sorry for the money, "You tossed both of the money to buy food and clothing, and our family will enjoy happiness, how much does it cost." How old are you, you don't have a score in your heart, when will you be able to live this day? ”

"I don't have a score in my heart, don't I have my sister-in-law and brother thinking about it for me, I will take care of the food and clothing of our family, and I didn't have the conditions to manage it before. ”

"Okay, you can take care of food and clothing, save money and my brother will save it for you, and after this autumn, I will have to build a house for your family." Uncle and grandmother said helplessly.

"That's right, sister-in-law is better than mother, you can't just rely on your mouth. "Grandma regained her innocence by her aunt's side, and she was smiling and poor.

"Brother, today I went to the Foreign Trade Bureau, and when I saw that people handed over export strip weaving handicrafts, I bought a few. It's not complicated for me to look at, and people in our village can make it up. I heard from them that the income is quite high, and it is almost catching up with the salaries of the staff. ”

Uncle and grandfather picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, "It's not difficult to make up, the key is to use dustpan willows, we don't have this, there are many things in the south of the county." Our river beach is a shade willow, and the strips are good but difficult to peel. ”

"Uncle, if you don't have us, you will plant, grandma asked, dustpan willow village is specially planted. Yoyo interjected.

"They are saline land, and they can't grow crops, so they can't plant dustpan willows. We can't grow that thing on this good land, and our superiors can't agree to it. ”

"Don't we have a river beach, and if you can grow shady willows, you can grow dustpan willows. Besides, isn't our production embankment idle, and we can also plant dustpan willows. Yoyo helped with the idea.

"That's really good, I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask them to help get in touch. Xiuqin, this child is talking about adults, and he has to open it, but his heart is so heavy. ”

Uncle and Grandpa's words were so angry that he shouted: "Uncle and Grandpa, how can you see it, people say that I am growing up fast this year." ”

Uncle and grandmother picked her up and coaxed: "It's not that I've grown taller, I can't hold my uncle and grandmother." ”

The second aunt came over with the washed peaches, and the uncle and grandfather took a bite: "It's still the same taste, I ate it once many years ago, it was in the army, and I happened to catch up with the peach ripening season when I passed by Feicheng." ”

Uncle and grandmother divided them one by one with the children, and tasted it herself: "I heard your brother say that I haven't seen this peach, but I ate it today thanks to my sister, it is better than the peach here with us." This tastes so good, it's better than canned peaches. Chaoxia, go call your eldest brother and sister-in-law. ”

My uncle and grandfather were still in the style of the army, so they went to the commune the next day and reported to the leaders that they used the wasteland on the river beach to plant dustpan willows, and received strong support from the leaders.

Arrange for the uncle to be in charge of this work, and strive to carry out the sideline work of article editing this winter.

At night, Youyou and Grandma lay on the kang, "Grandma, let's go there tomorrow?" Yes, it was said that he went to the county seat to sell monkeys, but in fact, he didn't need to go at all. Besides, I really have nothing to do in the county, and I can't go to the scrap collection station every day to Taobao.

"Yoyo, why don't we go to Pingcheng tomorrow, anyway, our mother and daughter are fine. "Grandma and Yoyo discussed.

"Okay, you can go wherever you say, grandma, why are we going?"

"Let's take a car to the county seat first, there is a bus to Pingcheng at the bus station, every two hours. "It turned out that my grandmother had paid attention to the departure route at the station.

"Grandma, is there a car to the provincial capital at the station, let's go to the provincial capital. Yoyo proposed, mainly because he wanted to go to the provincial capital.

"I can't go to the provincial capital, it's too far, the county seat is more than 600 miles away from the provincial capital, and I have to take a day's car to the provincial capital, and I can't come back on the same day. Grandma told her.

Then there was no way, so I had to go to Pingcheng. However, grandma told Yoyo that Pingcheng County is much larger than Hongcheng County, with 25 communes and a population of 2 million.

Pingcheng is also a historical city, all dynasties are more famous, more famous than Linshui, and there are many famous monuments in the city now.

Before six o'clock in the morning, someone came to deliver the tender knowledge, and it was caught early. Grandma calculated, a total of more than 150 catties, it seems that people are interested.

The two of them changed cars in the county seat once, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived in Pingcheng. Yoyo looked at the bus schedule at the bus station in Pingcheng and found that there were also buses from Pingcheng to Shuikeng.

The train departed from Pingcheng at 6 a.m. and arrived at 7:20 a.m. The train departs at 4 p.m., arrives at the watering hole at 5:20, and returns to Pingcheng at 6:40.

Looking at the time arrangement, it should be to facilitate the travel of the masses in the rural areas and serve the people, which can be manifested everywhere.

Grandma got off the bus and bought a ticket to go to the puddle in the afternoon, and today I have time, so I can go shopping, and I took out the bicycle leisurely.

The county seat of Pingcheng is indeed large, with east and west streets as the main streets, and there are three north and south streets. In addition to the department store, Xinhua bookstore, and post and telecommunications bureau, there are several non-staple food stores, local product stores, and fruit stores, and the door is "the first store in Pingcheng".

There are many people in the store, and it is similar to the waterfront. Today, I have money and leisure, and Yoyo and Grandma gave full play to their woman's nature and had a good time. When you see something that is suitable and you don't need a ticket, just one word, buy.

Grandma sighed again: "How many years, I have been calculating my life, and today I can finally spend my money happily, and grandma enjoys my leisurely happiness." ”

When I was shopping, I found that there were also people here wearing clothes sold at home, and I heard someone ask: "It's so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

No wonder Li Baoguo purchased so much and sold them to the county seat. This hasn't reached Futian yet, and it seems that his goods are still not enough to sell. Yoyo decided to go to Linshui with his grandmother again after a while.

It was almost noon, and my grandmother led Youyou into the "Pingcheng No. 1 Hotel" next to the department store, and Youyou looked at the red paint signboard on the door and complained. This is probably also a characteristic of this era, and it seems that such a store name is easier to remember than the various original store names in later generations.

The hotel is much larger than Hongcheng, although it is also a two-story building, but it has a large area, and there are more than 30 tables on the first floor alone.

Dozens of long wooden strips hang from a large wooden frame, with the name of the dish written vertically on it and the price marked below. Facing outwards are the recipes served that day, and those that turn over are not.

The fifth and tenth episodes of the lunar calendar in Pingcheng are not big sets today, but there are roast chickens and elbows in the restaurant. Youyou looked at those menu cards and whispered to grandma: "Sweet and sour carp, yes." Sauce pig's trotters, beauty quality, want. Chicken stewed hazel mushrooms, delicious, yes. Grandma grabbed her: "Enough, I have to come tomorrow, there is a chance." ”

The last thing the mother and wife wanted: sweet and sour carp hair, 3 cents of fried shredded pork with beans, 1 cent of tomato and egg soup, plus a pound of roasted cakes, it cost 145 yuan. After the meal, I spent 210 yuan to buy two roast chickens. The prices of all state-run hotels are the same, and the prices are clearly marked.
