Chapter Seventy-Seven: Before the Festival

Ah Qiu brushed the bowl and came out, and discussed with Liao Shuyi while taking off her apron: "Sister, it's still early until noon, there will be time, I hurriedly went to the grocery store to see if I could line up to buy some good things, the Spring Festival will be in four or five days, we have saved too few New Year's goods, this year the new aunt is coming to the door, we don't have any hospitality, it's not good to be too shabby." ”

Liao Shuyi said: "That's right, then you go and come back quickly, Xiaoxi and I are watching the two children at home...... Oh, bring more money tickets, the wallet left by Xiaoxi is in the bedroom, I'll go up and get it. ”

Ah Qiu said: "No, no, there are quite a few of them that you handed over to me before." ”

As he spoke, he carried a basket and told Xiaoxin Xiaolei to be obedient and obedient, so he was ready to go out.

Lin Xi heard Ah Qiu say that he wanted to buy New Year's goods, and his heart moved: Really, it's going to be the New Year, how many people are rushing to go to food stores, department stores and other stores to line up, hoping to buy some New Year's goods, but at present, the country's productivity is low, materials are in short supply, and most of the cases are queuing in vain, and they can't buy things in the end.

And the goods in her space are piled up, but she can't come up with them to solve the needs of the public.

Even if she needs to take out things herself, she has to make a good excuse, New Year's goods purchase, this opportunity is rare, so she doesn't have to let Ah Qiu run around, this job is just taken over.

Lin Xi thought about it, stood up and said: "Ah Qiupo, let's go, I'll ride a bicycle, and by the way, I can also go to the department store to have a look, I know a sister in the department store, maybe I can buy something that others can't buy, you and your grandmother are watching Xiaoxin Xiaolei at home." ”

When Liao Shuyi heard this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the brand-new blue permanent brand women's bicycle parked by the door, and thought of the sewing machine in the storage room, which was the wedding bride price bought by her grandson-in-law, and Xiaoxi had never touched it.

smiled and said to Ah Qiu: "Then let Xiaoxi go, young people are always bored at home, it's good to go shopping on the street." ”

Lin Xi got permission, and hurriedly went upstairs to the room to replace the medium-length tweed coat she was wearing with a short one, and then put on a shoulder bag, and then took Aqiu's basket and hung it on the front of the car.

In the sound of grandma and Aqiu's mother-in-law to be careful, Lin Xi stepped on the bicycle and walked slowly, in her previous life she had an electric bicycle on campus, and after graduation, she took the subway and took a taxi, and she was optimistic about her favorite beautiful car and was ready to buy, and the feeling of stepping on a rickshaw was so far away, and it was quite fresh.

Lin Xi first went to the community grocery store to take a look, as expected, there were not many things in the store, but people were still queuing up in a long line, hoping for a miracle.

Silently remembered the ingredients that were hanging or placed on the window counter, including lamb legs, pork, live chicken, fresh fish and sausages, and eggs, Lin Xi decided to take one or two things home later, and he could come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and bring some every day, and the quantity would be there.

Anyway, grandma and Ah Qiu Po knew that she had a ticket in her hand, and in the envelope that Chen Zhiming handed her last time, there were all kinds of food stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, sugar stamps, industrial coupons, and overseas Chinese remittance coupons.

Leaving the grocery store, I stepped on my bicycle through a few streets to the overseas Chinese store, and I wanted to know what new goods were in the tallest stores of this era, and I was full of joy at first glance: there were electric irons and hair dryers on the counter! The electric iron and electric hair dryer in the sixties, the style is really not flattering, rustic and bulky, but Lin Xi is still very happy, she needs it too much - her hair has grown over her shoulders, it is relatively thick and thick, it is not easy to dry when washing her hair in winter, and her hair is very wet and unaccustomed; Folded clothes are really hard to take care of without an iron.

Lin Xi decided to buy an electric iron and an electric hair dryer, put it there to indicate that he had this thing at home, and then directly took out the excellent version of the hair dryer and ironer in the space when he used it...... As long as people don't find out!

I thought of it, took out all the overseas Chinese remittance coupons and counted them, fortunately, Shen Yihui later handed her a lot of overseas Chinese remittance coupons in the purse, enough to buy two "electrical appliances", this transaction is a big deal, the salesman looked at her eyes full of envy and jealousy, but the attitude was very good, Lin Xi bought some other things, and the two salesmen specially served her, according to her requirements, found a large cardboard box without any logo and packed it for her.

When Lin Xi tied the carton to the rear seat with a strap, he smuggled a lot of items from the space and filled it in, eating and wearing until the carton was full.

Passing by Zheng Xiuhong's department store on the way back, Lin Xi felt that he should go in to say hello, so he stopped, took off the basket at the front of the car, and handed the car to the vehicle custodian to watch, and was not worried that the goods in the back seat of the bicycle would be stolen.

As soon as Zheng Xiuhong saw Lin Xi, she shouted happily: "Great! I was thinking about you, and here you are! ”

Then he pulled Lin Xi and bit his ear: "It's almost the New Year, this is the last batch of 'internal processing' goods, they are all very good goods!" Some can be half the price cheaper and don't need tickets, hurry up, I'll take you down to the warehouse, you look at it and pick more! ”

Lin Xi thought that this was the right time, so he first handed over a cloth bag in the basket to Zheng Xiuhong, which contained some imported fruits taken out of the space, two catties of sausages, two preserved ducks, and high-end biscuits and toffee just bought in the overseas Chinese store, saying that they were for the children, Zheng Xiuhong accepted them unceremoniously, and hurriedly took Lin Xi to select the "internal processing" goods after putting them away.

In the warehouse of the department store, Lin Xi spent half an hour, spent more than 100 yuan, and the selected goods were piled up into a small mountain, which she couldn't hold herself, and finally asked the store's tricycle to help deliver the goods.
