Chapter 16: Dongfeng County
In Lin Yue's previous memory, her mother Liu Li took her to the county seat several times. Because my mother doesn't know how to ride a bike, she has to walk every time she goes. How could Lin Yue's small body stand it, and when she walked a few steps, she made a noise for her mother to carry on her back. Moreover, on the way to the county seat, there is a large birch forest, and every time Lin Yue passes by, he will look around nervously, looking back as he walks, for fear that a hungry wolf will run out of the woods.
Before Lin Chengzhi went to bed last night, he said to Lin Yue, who was lying in the quilt, that he would take her to Dongfeng County tomorrow to buy a new set of clothes for the New Year.
Lin Yue was very excited when she heard this, of course, she was not excited because she was wearing new clothes, but she was finally able to leave the village, and she had been reborn for several days, except for the last time she hurriedly went to the mine, Lin Yue had not really gone to the city to play.
The next day, Lin Chengzhi got up early and went to the greenhouse to cut two baskets of vegetables, tied them with ropes, and then went into the house to call Lin Yue to leave.
Lin Yue was wrapped into a big dumpling by Liu Li, only revealing a pair of eyes, with gray hands on his hands, a dark blue cotton coat on his body, covering Lin Yue's calves, and wearing a thick cotton jacket and cotton pants sewn by Liu Li herself. Hey, no way, who made the winter in the Northeast so cold.
"Dad, I'm going to the county seat, you see my mother wraps me up, I can't even walk" Lin Yue shook his thick little arms, and then turned Lin Chengzhi around in a clumsy way, jokingly.
"Haha, isn't your mother afraid that you will be cold on the road, it's not good to have a cold cold" Lin Chengzhi looked at the old girl in front of him who was wrapped like a ball, and said with a smile.
"Ride slowly on the road, let the old girl sit opposite you, so that the wind can't blow her face, and then you must pay attention to safety and pay attention to the ice on the road." Liu Li instructed uneasily.
"Let's go!" Lin Chengzhi picked up Lin Yue and put it on the girder in front of the bicycle, with a simple saddle on the girder, Liu Li put a wooden board on it, and then wrapped two layers of cotton mats, for fear of holding the old girl.
Lin Chengzhi pushed the bicycle, turned around, then raised his right leg and sat on the bicycle saddle, and then stepped on the pedal with his right foot, and the bicycle began to run forward.
The winter avenues in the Northeast are particularly deserted, and people are at home at this time, so there are basically no people on the road. The cold wind blew across his cheeks, as if a knife was cutting, Lin Chengzhi gritted his trembling teeth and rode forward vigorously.
Lin Yue didn't know how long she had been sitting, her body was almost freezing, because she had been sitting in a sitting position, and her body was too thick, and the blood was a little unsmooth, so her legs were almost numb and she was almost unconscious.
Finally, Lin Chengzhi's car stopped in front of a restaurant.
"Yue'er, it's here, dad will take you down" After Lin Chengzhi finished speaking, he picked up Lin Yue and put him on the ground.
"Hiss~" Lin Yue exclaimed softly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chengzhi asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just that my legs are numb, and I can't stand firmly" Lin Yue pouted, she knew that the county was so far away, and she would sit on a bicycle for a long time, so she wouldn't follow, hurry up and move, otherwise the pain will be endless.
Lin Yue stomped his feet with great effort and looked up at the hotel. The simple five-room bungalow, with blue bricks and red tiles, has no whitewashed walls, and all three windows are covered with a layer of plastic sheeting, and a thick curtain hangs on the door.
At this moment, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a puff of white air wafted out. Then, Lin Yue saw a burly man with an inch head walking out. He was wearing a military coat, a pair of dark blue pants, and a pair of military cotton shoes, smiling and walking towards Lin Chengzhi's father and daughter.
"Brother Chengzhi is here, sit in the house. Yo, this little girl belongs to yours? It's really rare. Lin Yuexin said, it turns out that this is the restaurant owner who spent 6 yuan to buy two baskets of her vegetables.
"Boss Wang, I won't go in, you settle the money for today's dishes, and I'll take my old girl to the mall." After Lin Chengzhi finished speaking, he put his hands to his mouth, sighed gently, and then put them into his hands.
"Okay, then you wait" The boss hurriedly went into the house to withdraw the money. Lin Chengzhi took the money for today's dishes and took Lin Yue to the mall.
At this time, the shopping malls are all state-run, and the employees inside are uniformly wearing dark suits.
Lin Yue walked into the mall and watched the people coming and going, which was very lively. Walking forward with Lin Chengzhi, looking at the mountains of goods in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Although these things don't look very good and don't have good packaging, they really can't be bought with money in later generations. Many people recall what they ate when they were children, and they will feel that if time can come back, they must eat enough.
After Lin Chengzhi saw his daughter enter the mall, he didn't look around like other children, asking for this and that, but showed a sad expression and a face full of doubts.
"Yue'er, do you want to eat orange candy? There are melon seeds here. Lin Chengzhi pointed to the stall selling candy and asked Lin Yue. When the boss saw that there was a sale, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile, and tried his best to praise his things for being delicious.
"I don't want to eat it." Lin Yue replied nonchalantly. When the boss heard this, he didn't have the heart to say hello, pulled the corners of his mouth, and walked to the side and shouted loudly, ignoring Lin Chengzhi's father and daughter.
"Then look at the mall, what do you like, Dad will buy it for you." Lin Chengzhi looked at his daughter who was not very happy, and asked again.
"Dad, you can buy whatever you want." Lin Yue was originally a phobia of choice, and now let her choose what she likes in such a big shopping mall, isn't it difficult for her. If conditions permit, she wants to move home, watch slowly, and eat slowly. So she used the two most effective words in later generations to send her father: "Whatever!" ”
"Okay, Dad will buy you some pastries, buy a rag doll, buy you two sets of clothes, and then buy a new pair of cotton shoes" After Lin Chengzhi finished speaking, he took Lin Yue's hand to find these things.
Lin Yue took the peach crisp bought by Lin Chengzhi with both hands, picked up a piece and put it under his nose and smelled it, well, this smell, it's really fragrant, it's really authentic, this is the legendary pure natural, no additives. Lin Yue bit a small piece of peach crisp, ate it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, then squinted his eyes and sighed softly: Well~, it's delicious, the more you eat, the more fragrant it is!
Lin Chengzhi looked at Lin Yue eating peach cake with an intoxicated face, feeling that he had bought the right one, and he didn't know what to buy for his daughter. He patted Lin Yue's little head with his hand, and said dotingly, "Eat slowly, don't choke." Then he dragged her to choose clothes.
Lin Chengzhi chose two sets of clothes for Lin Yue, both of which were the most popular at the moment, and he did not hesitate to spend money, which made the salesman happy, and he had been praising Lin Yue how beautiful he was. Lin Yue is not interested, for the current clothes, her standard is to be able to wear them.
After Lin Yue tried on clothes, Lin Chengzhi took her for a casual stroll, bought a few villain books for her two sons, bought a bottle of alabaster for her daughter-in-law, and then bought herself a cigarette and took Lin Yue home.
