Chapter 30 Ninety New Year's Goods (plus more collection, please recommend to friends and classmates)
On January 18, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Jia Lei suspended his money-making business of selling tea eggs and walked to the home of his classmate and friend Zhou Wen early in the morning. I saw that Zhou Wen and Zhou Xiuxiu had also dressed up early, ready to go to the New Year's goods with Grandma Zhou, and they were accompanied by several other juniors of the Zhou family in the yard.
Jia Lei: He found that the people who went to do New Year's goods together were all students from elementary school to high school during the winter vacation, Jia Lei asked curiously.
"Grandma Zhou, why are all the students who went to do the New Year's goods today? What about uncles and aunts?" asked Jia Lei.
"They don't have time to go to work today, so we can just go. In saying that today is a good time, while the workers are all at work, there are not so many people to grab New Year's goods with us, and we need to buy more things. That's why I'm calling all the little ones in the family!" Grandma Zhou said happily, and Jia Lei knelt down.
"I have to go to work on Chinese New Year's Eve?! People are so hardworking now!" Jia Lei said with special emotion. People in the eighties and nineties really had few holidays, and even Chinese New Year's Eve did not take a holiday!
However, this is indeed a good opportunity for these people today, in the era of the planned economy, so the material production was counted, and even the purchase of New Year's goods had to be robbed, otherwise many things could not be bought - cheap goods, just because of a few of them, the old, weak, sick and disabled could not squeeze into it at all.
Jia Lei listened in a daze, because he had almost no money in Kyoto at this time in his previous life, and he rarely went out, he really didn't know this kind of thing, and his stepfather's family would not take him to do New Year's goods! He just wanted to take the opportunity to buy some New Year's food, toys and other New Year's supplies, and he really didn't know what to buy now after being used to spending the New Year alone in his previous life.
"All stretch out their hands, and the big ones lead the little ones! One looks at the other, and no one is allowed to let go, and if anyone lets go, they will never take her to buy anything next time. Grandma Zhou said. (Inexplicably familiar threat)
The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family immediately stood in pairs as if they had been rehearsed, and Zhou Wen glared at his second cousin Zhou Shan
Rolled his eyes.
"My hands hurt from you, tap!" Lin Wen said.
Who let you run away while I wasn't paying attention last year, causing me to be scolded by my family. Zhou Shan said.
Grandma Zhou slapped Zhou Wen on the shoulder who was about to fight back, "Don't go if you are naughty this year!" Zhou Wen immediately lowered his head honestly and didn't dare to make trouble.
"Jia Lei, have you brought your family's grain, oil and money tickets?" Grandma Zhou turned around and asked with a kind face and a gentle tone with a completely different attitude towards the children in your family.
"Bring it all!" Jia Lei immediately replied.
"Alright! Let's go. After Grandma Zhou finished speaking, she waved her hand and set off with a long list of fart bugs.

The place where the New Year's goods were done was in a large state-owned comprehensive shopping mall nearby, and when they arrived at the place by car, Jia Lei was stunned before he got out of the car. The original four-lane road has now been squeezed into two lanes by people who come to do New Year's goods, and there are people on both sides of the road, which can be said to be a sea of people!
Jia Lei took a closer look, and the huge crowd turned out to be divided into more than a dozen teams. Grandma Zhou asked them to stand in place first, and went to the various teams to inquire about it. And then began to arrange the division of labor among the people-
"Zhou Mang, you come over and line up to buy white noodles. ”
"Zhou Xue, you come here and line up to buy cloth. ”
"Zhou Yu queued up to buy candy, Zhou Wen queued up to buy oil, Xiuxiu you came to queue up to buy fried goods, Jia Lei queued up to buy tobacco and alcohol, and I personally queued up to buy aquatic products. You don't have to buy pork, your uncle bought it directly from their slaughterhouse and sent it to us. Okay, that's it, let's go and line up!" Grandma Zhou quickly assigned the task after she came back.
Jia Lei watched the team in front of him rise by more than ten meters in less than half a minute, and hurriedly ran over to line up at the back of the line according to Grandma Zhou's instructions, and as soon as he stood behind, there was a young man lined up behind him.
"What are you doing with such a big place in front of you?" I want people to cut in line later!" After the young man finished speaking, he squeezed forward, and Jia Lei was squeezed forward by him! The face almost touched the buttocks of a woman in her twenties in front of her, and the woman immediately looked back angrily, and saw that it was a child who bumped into her.
"Stay away from me, little red guy! You've soiled my clothes. The woman said.
Jia Lei looked up at the half-new clothes on the other party's body, and when he looked down at his brand-new white clothes, he was suddenly a little speechless (speechless 2), who stained whose clothes is not necessarily!
I can't allow him to think about it too much, more people are coming! The surging flow of people squeezed the people in front of him to death, and he didn't even want to move, Jia Lei was lying on the eldest sister in front of him. The eldest sister is not (a person who doesn't feel it), but this time she didn't say anything, it's really that almost everyone is being squeezed like this now, and at this time, there are no men, women, old and young, and everyone is squeezing forward, because the department store is open.
"Sister Xue, Sister Xue, I'm here!" Jia Lei always had time to look at his surroundings after getting used to it for a while, and he saw Zhou Xue seven or eight meters away from the team next door.
As soon as Zhou Xue turned around, he saw him in the back line, and waved his hand like him happily. Zhou Xue's team is in a better situation than here, because most of the people who go to buy cloth are women, and they are not as strong as here.
"Ahh——!h
It's still Grandma Zhou who has the foresight and didn't let a beautiful girl like Zhou Xue come to buy cigarettes and alcohol, otherwise there must be many men who want to take advantage of her.
"Sister Xue, now you can't buy anything other than food and oil casually, don't need a ticket! Why are you still grabbing it so much?" Jia Lei asked loudly. It's not good not to be loud, there are too many people around, and it's very noisy.
Jia Lei was a real child at this time in his last life, and everyone knows that in addition to being particularly profound in his memories when he was eight to ten years old, he will become very vague when he is in his thirties.
Besides, who is 8. When I was nine years old, the deepest memories were not the TV series, cartoons, toys, friends and new clothes, but also the teachers and classmates who had a particularly deep memory. Who is a big child will remember these social and people's livelihood things, that is something that adults should consider - no appointment, we will not make an appointment in society!
I'm Ultraman - Look at my light radiation!
"Of course you have to grab it! Otherwise, you won't be able to buy a good one! If it's too late, you won't be able to buy it, and the store will be out of stock." Zhou Xue replied.
"How can it be out of stock? Isn't it already distributed to households?" Jia Lei asked suspiciously.
"Haha!" everyone around him laughed.
