Chapter 61: Little Year
What is the matter of "crossing the catastrophe and becoming an immortal", we might as well leave it for later.
Because no matter what, on February 13, 1983, the lunar New Year is already in sight, and the New Year must be passed first.
When it comes to the 1983 New Year's goods, this year is naturally richer than last year.
This Spring Festival, in addition to the usual purchases of one pound of Jiang rice, four taels of peanut oil, two catties of fish, and three catties of Fuqiang powder, each resident of the capital can buy one pound of Jiang rice, four taels of peanut oil, and three catties of Fuqiang powder.
In addition to pork, there are also eggs and japonica rice.
In terms of vegetables, as the vegetable planting area in the capital has expanded to 19,000 hectares, a large number of vegetables from other cities are also supplied to the capital.
So this winter, the supply of Chinese cabbage in the capital is not only sufficient, but also the number of fine vegetables.
Things like winter bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and leeks that used to be high in price and rare can be eaten by ordinary people.
Fruits are also similar to vegetables, because this year's Beijing suburbs apple area of 172,000 acres, before the Spring Festival this year, has become a situation where oranges, apples, hawthorns, and persimmons complement each other.
People not only have cheap and high-quality fruits to relieve their cravings, but also get rid of the monotonous dilemma of varieties.
As for snacks, although the purchase limit of melon seeds and peanuts has not changed. But many flavored foods have been restored.
For example, plum, hawthorn, candied fruit of "Xinyuan Zhai" and autumn pear paste of "Tong Sanyi".
As for what the Hong family is like, just look at how their family spent the New Year on February 5.
According to the old order, this day is the day of the sacrificial stove. There is a folk proverb, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the sugar melon is stained.
So after getting off work on this day, Hong Yanzheng specially bought a bag of "Kanto Sugar" to bring back in order to celebrate the festival.
After parking the bicycle and entering the parents' hall, he saw his sons Hong Jun and Hong Yi both guarding the TV, and he rushed over with a sugar bag.
Unexpectedly, none of these two sons were interested in sugar, so they turned their heads and called "Dad", and they all turned around again, staring at "The Forest Emperor" on the screen.
This made Hong Yan fight for good and not disappointed, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Hey, that's all this Japanese cartoon looks like? Daddy bought you candy?......! Ignore me and shut you up......"
And at this time, Xu Manli came in from the kitchen with vinegared cabbage and braised pork, and hurriedly stopped her.
"Hey, it's winter vacation, and Hong Jun took the third place in the class. What are you messing with your child? Just let them see it!"
Hong Yanzheng couldn't help but be a little stupid.
"You don't know, I mean, why don't these two kids even eat Kanto candy? You see, they bought it for them, but they didn't even look at it. When I was a child, I waited for this day to have fun. ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Manli made a joke.
"Why did you buy it, that thing is too sticky to your teeth, what do you have to eat? You used to love to eat it, it was not good, and now there is no sugar? Let me tell you, the third child and Quanzi just brought back five catties of chocolate and five catties of 'white rabbit' at noon, can these two children eat enough in the afternoon, can they still scarce your rough stuff?"
"Okay, dare to love this third child, doesn't this spoil my son?"
Only then did Hong Yanzheng find the reason, complained in his mouth, and turned around unhappily to pour water from the basin and wash his hands.
But when he was halfway washing, he remembered something else, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law was going out, he hurriedly stopped him.
"Hey, you wait first, don't rush away. Our colleagues all said that on January 20th, as soon as the price of chemical fiber products was reduced and the price of cotton fabrics increased, the textile counter in this store was about to go crazy. I wondered if we would rest tomorrow, and why don't we go to the department store and buy some back? Make new clothes for the whole family, young and old. Don't look back and sell out, won't we lose money?"
Unexpectedly, this was opposed again.
"Don't don't, don't you, hasn't the third child already instructed in advance, saying that you won't let your family buy chemical fiber products, so that everyone will wear pure cotton and pure wool in the future. He also said that this year also caused trouble to the Su family, and he went to the mall to buy ready-to-wear clothes in two days. Mom and Dad had already nodded their heads about this. You were there at the time, how did you forget?"
Hong Yanzheng pouted.
"Hey, listen to him. I haven't forgotten it, but the more I think about it now, the more wrong it becomes. That polyester card has always been more expensive than cotton. Now that it's finally turned around, why don't we buy cheap ones, but buy expensive ones, stupid or not?"
Unexpectedly, when he was talking about this, Hong Yanru also entered the house with a plate of vegetables.
When the future costume designer heard this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, setting the table while explaining to Hong Yanzheng.
"Big brother, you don't understand, in the past, our garment fabric industry level and production capacity were low, so this polyester card is really good, it is expensive. In fact, these are chemical products, which are not valuable. But cotton is different. It is spun from cotton, has a limited yield, and is comfortable and breathable. So, it should go up. I think it makes sense. Look, my pants are cotton. ”
But Hong Yanru's display made Hong Yanzheng even more appreciative.
"Hmph, your pants were given to you by the third child, right?"
"Well, the third brother gave it to me yesterday, saying that this is the most popular in Huacheng now, called radish pants. ”
"Okay, don't be beautiful about you. How many times have I told you......"
"I know that I am not allowed to wear strange clothes anymore and attract people who are not careful. But these pants are not tight, how loose they are. Actually, I'm paying attention now, and my parents didn't say anything when they saw it. You can't let me go out every day like you, wearing a labor cloth, right?"
"Hehe, look at what you said. What's wrong with the labor cloth? Have you forgotten what hard and simple it is? It's only been a few days since you took off your patched clothes. , I want to see, you also let the third child be broken. I've become a bourgeois lady completely!"
Yes, these few words made Hong Yanru blush.
But Xu Manli didn't look like a word, for fear that her sister-in-law would be wronged, and she also counted her husband.
"What are you doing here, how are you going to arrest someone today? What's wrong with Xiaoru? You don't want to think about it, everyone is a big girl, when will you wear it if you don't wear it at this time? Not to mention that people are learning to wear clothes, which is also a professional requirement for others. You're almost done, what's wrong with the New Year's Eve when everyone isn't happy? If you want me to say, you should eat one of these sugar melons the most, and stick your mouth first. ”
Saying this, not only made Hong Yanru laugh, but even Hong Yanzheng felt a little embarrassed.
He grinned and fell silent.
Coincidentally, at this time, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back together.
As a result, when he entered the door, he summoned Hong Yanzheng's anger again.
They brought back a lot of things, one hemp bag per person, and five or six pheasants and seven or eight rabbits hanging behind them, as if they had gone out to hunt.
This is good, not only Xu Manli and Hong Yanru helped to pick up things together, but also threw away the TV and came to join in the fun.
When I asked, I found out that I dared to love that this was the "Sanjiazi" and "Shrimp Crawler" sent by Bincheng to deliver New Year's goods.
In addition to seafood, there were pheasants and hares bought from Changchun. It is said that the local non-staple food store specially went to Daxinganling to get it back.
Yang Weifan's place happened to be empty, so he left the two brothers in Bincheng with him.
Then I made a phone call and asked Hong Yanwu and them to chat for a while, and they brought things back by the way.
But let go of these, but it's not over yet, Hong Yanwu still has good things in his pocket.
First, two colorful squares were stuffed into the two little ones.
"Oops, Rubik's Cube. ”
"Yo, yes, what's the matter?"
"Haven't played it. My classmates have it, and I'm still thinking about buying one before the New Year. ”
"Sensei bought it, won't I get it back for you. Figure it out for yourself, you're going to be stupid. ”
On the other side, Chen Liquan also took out two large bottles with green caps with round heads and round brains, and handed them to Xu Manli and Hong Yanru separately.
The eyes of both women were also immediately lit up by the exquisite packaging.
"Yo, what is this?"
"It's just, it's so fragrant?"
But Chen Liquan shook his head embarrassedly in the face of doubts, and finally had to rely on Hong Yanwu to explain.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, didn't you see it, it says on it, Wella Bao Shampoo. This is a new product jointly produced by the German 'Wella' and us. To put it bluntly, it is to wash hair. Don't use soap in the future, use this, wash your hair, nourish your hair together, and use it up smoothly without dreadlocks. Work well. ”
"yes, that's that good?"
"Thank you, brother. ”
It's just that although the big guy got together affectionately, he inadvertently got cold again.
Don't forget, Hong Yanzheng is still on the side, he saw his wife, children and sister, all so affectionately surrounding Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. It's completely different from when I first came back.
Well, I can't help but be sour again.
When he opened his mouth, he naturally didn't have a good sound.
"Hey, you're a third child, you don't call you big brother when you enter the door. Deliberately pretending not to see what happened to me? I can tell you, don't mess around outside. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will have to do something. I don't understand that God would have to let you make a fortune so opportunistically. What kind of wealth do you say you bring to society by hoarding stamps and buying and selling them?"
If you want to say this, it's really a bad scenery, but it's a pity that Hong Yanzheng is also a villain. 、
Because Hong Yanwu didn't forget him, he took out the sack, and two bottles of beer were also in it.
"Big brother, big brother, you put out the fire. Look, the white card in Beijing, I haven't seen you for a while, right? ”
Hong Yanzheng was dumbfounded, but Xu Manli and Hong Yanru couldn't help but laugh when they looked at it.
A deliberate boast.
"It's a novelty. The third child is still thinking about your eldest brother, he loves this. ”
The other also followed.
"Third brother, you really have the ability, you can't see this kind of big store outside the goods. ”
Even Hong Jun coaxed.
"Dad, don't compete with my third uncle, how do you look at anyone today? ”
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanzheng was still holding on.
"What to show, I think it's good to have loose beer. I'm an ordinary guy who breaks a penny in half and spends it, and I get dizzy to see you guys do that. ”
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but shake his head for the stubbornness of his eldest brother.
"Come on. And what about loose beer? People don't produce it at all now. You call this backward times. Do you understand? Are you still dizzy? Actually, what kind of thing is this, people and foreigners don't even use bottles, they all drink in cans. ”
Hong Yanzheng was stunned by the fresh words he had never heard.
"What kind of can? You say it's gas, right? When will you get rid of your tongue with a full mouth? ”
I don't know that Chen Liquan also helped to prove it.
"Big brother, Xiao Wu didn't talk nonsense. I've also drunk it, it's true, Jianguo Hotel has it, and you can drink it when you pull it, so it's called ...... It's called a can. ”
Hong Jun next to him immediately jumped up when he heard this.
"I understand this time, isn't this just a grenade!"
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
