The car drove all the way to the provincial capital, and the first car in front of Xiao Zhou was driving, sitting Old Man Lin, Lin Lishan, Zhang Guoqing and Xizi.

At this time, Xizi had a small face, pretending to be calm, except for a pair of eyes that turned curiously, and the whole small body was tense. Zhang Guoqing looked at it amusedly, and didn't prompt him, it is estimated that after a long time, his spirit will relax. If a child can pay attention to his own demeanor, it means that he has really grown up. Pointing in front of people can damage his self-esteem.

Xiao Zhou drove the car, looked in the rearview mirror, and persuaded: "Chief, you take a rest first, it will take more than two hours to reach the provincial capital without entering the county seat." ”

"Well, you drive well, stay safe, we're not in a hurry."

The car did not stop all the way, and the two cars drove directly to the guest house of the provincial military district. waited for them to get out of the car and go inside, before Xiao Zhou could open the room. Several soldiers came from afar, and they had already received the news and came to receive Old Man Lin, and directly led the old man and them upstairs into the room.

After everyone entered the room, Lin Lishan was impatient to look at them and greet them, seeing that it was still early, and whispered to Mr. Lin that he wanted to take the child out for a walk, and after getting permission, she quickly took Xizi and left early.

Out of the hall of the guest house, Lin Lishan took Xizi's little hand, got into the car, and drove directly to the direction of the provincial capital.

The Friendship Mall in the provincial capital was just planned to open at the end of last year, and it is only available to overseas Chinese living abroad, or you can enter it if you have overseas Chinese remittance vouchers. It is said that there are a wide variety of goods inside, and the three-story building is very eye-catching among the buildings of the provincial capital, so it is no wonder that if you ask, someone will point your fingers.

Lin Lishan parked the car and walked towards the gate of the mall with Xizi. There were two security guards standing at the wide gate, and when they saw them, they whispered that non-overseas Chinese or non-overseas Chinese could not enter without overseas Chinese remittance tickets.

Lin Lishan also went to the Friendship Mall to shop in the capital, understood this rule, and took out the overseas Chinese remittance coupon to show the other party, and went in directly. The things in this are indeed more exquisite than the supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are many more types, especially the service attitude is much better than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Lin Lishan asked for Xizi's opinion in a low voice, "Let's start from the first floor, okay?" You see what you like, grandma buys it for you, and you also help your younger siblings see what they like. ”

Xizi opened her eyes, looked at the many goods around curiously, and shook her head when she heard the words, "Grandma, you buy it yourself." I'm here to learn from you, and I'm not going to buy anything. See for yourself, I can't get lost if I follow you. ”

Lin Lishan touched his head and took his little hand, knowing that the Zhang family was very attentive to educating the children, so she didn't ask him again, and planned to look at all the three-layer goods.

The large ground floor is full of non-staple foods and some fine grains. The counter is in a circle, and it is just right to read it.

In the non-staple food area, there are rows of glass counters, and all kinds of hard and soft candies of different colors and shapes are packed in glass jars.

There are also ordinary and delicately packaged pastries, gift boxes wrapped in red paper, neatly placed in the counter, and the counter is also carefully labeled with prices.

The innermost two rows of counters are against the wall, all of which are bagged and filled with milk powder, both domestic and imported. There are also some fills with malt milk essence and brown sugar.

A short staircase to the second floor, across the street is a long counter for foreign goods. Some foreign baguettes and black bread are all kinds of put in bamboo baskets. On the high shelf to the right of the counter are chocolates of all flavors. Stuff is quite complete. From Lin Lishan's point of view, this is an imitation of foreign furnishings.

Lin Lishan went around and had a rough idea in her heart, the friendship malls in various provinces are almost the same, giving priority to supplying overseas Chinese compatriots and earning foreign exchange. This pattern is already very ahead of its time. Thinking of SH's big hotel, thinking about a dish that is half a month's salary for ordinary workers, it is not surprising to see the furnishings here, the gap between the rich and the poor has existed since ancient times. Since the liquidation, all the capitalists and big landlords who have been cleaned up are famous, but how many rich people can be hidden?

Just like overseas Chinese, with a large number of foreign assets and a very low level of domestic consumption, these are all invisible riches. Now there is a relative in the family who is an overseas Chinese, and the family is not short of money or materials, which is far higher than the living standard of the residents who are supplied by tickets. I remember that the vast majority of overseas Chinese fled abroad with their domestic assets, and the country suffered and escaped, but now the country is stable, and they are given preferential treatment when they return to China. Lin Lishan despised fiercely in her heart.

Lin Lishan would never have imagined that it would not be long before these overseas relations encountered a catastrophe in the near future, and they were either killed or injured. Years later, Lin Lishan often lamented that life is unpredictable and unpredictable.

After walking around the first floor, Lin Lishan took Xizi's hand and went to the second floor. The second floor is full of daily necessities and daily necessities.

Several rows of counters are separated by red letters, so you can see it at a glance.

Toiletries such as soap, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes are neatly arranged. In the past, there were rows of textile counters, and you could see towels, handkerchiefs, pillow towels, etc., and then the counters were clearly classified. Unfinished raw materials such as cloth and wool are all in one place, and finished products such as autumn clothes and pants, shoes and boots, coats and pants are all concentrated in several counters.

The innermost part is women's products, such as corsets, sanitary belts, and toilet paper, all in one place, and the instructions and prices are carefully pasted on them.

On the right side of the second floor, there are also a small number of imported products such as iron pots, kitchen knives, shovels, dishes and chopsticks and other kitchen supplies. In the end, she really found that there were stoves, electric stoves, briquette stoves, and alcohol stoves, as well as fashionable hot water bottles and copper hand stoves.

Lin Lishan pulled Xizi and asked the salesperson to take things, and after taking the briquette stove and alcohol stove, she quickly ordered 5 hot water bottles and 2 hand stoves at this counter, which she specially used for Zhou Jiao to take the children out.

Then I ordered a few bars of soap, a few toothbrushes, and a few bars of toothpaste on the counter one by one. Place it next to the counter and tell the salesman on the second floor to settle together when the third floor comes down.

happily took Xizi's hand to the third floor, the third floor is full of household appliances, bicycles, sewing machines and other large items, and the price is cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. Eventually, she gave up her bike and bought a radio. She wanted to buy a bike, but Jiaojiao would definitely say it was a waste.

After returning to the second floor, I ran to get two more pots, which were used for stewed tonics. I chose a set of beautiful celadon plates and bowls and a set of purple clay pots. She really can't stand drinking wine and tea, all with a thick bowl, everything with a thick bowl, which affects her appetite very well.

Thinking of Xiao Ping'an, I bought a few spoons and plastic bowls for babies, and then bought some children's supplies. She was worried that she would have no holiday when she returned to Beijing to work, so she simply bought more at one time.

Looking at the pile of things on the ground, I finally paid the payment directly on the second floor, asked the salesperson to help pack it, and moved it to the next floor. Pile things up there, and don't let Xizi guard them, no one dares to steal here, and you can't get out of the gate. I didn't see that the customers inside were all placed as randomly as she did.

Lin Lishan was afraid that she was missing something, so she took Xizi to buy it counter by counter, and Xizi was so frightened that she was so scared that she was almost amused to death by this child, and the child also emphasized that he didn't like it.

"Don't worry, grandma has a ticket and money in her hand, buy what you like, and when you go back, remember to remind grandma to go to the military region to find someone to ask for a military bag for you, I see that many children like to carry a big military bag to school, which can be put in a lunch box. You are also a whole one, a unique one, and a lot of spirit. Look at these pencils, pretty, right? You go back and give it to your younger siblings, one pencil case for each person. ”

"Grandma, they are still young on the left and right and stones, and the two younger sisters don't need to be even younger. Auntie, please remove the pencil case. "Xizi is very anxious, this grandma loves Huohuo things. He's really worried.

Lin Lishan took an iron box and grabbed a pencil, "Okay, then buy hair clips and rubber bands, the little girl likes these, don't worry, the colors of the supply and marketing cooperatives are not so good-looking." ”

Lin Lishan picked more, this rubber band is very good, anyone can use it.

Then I went to the textile counter, to see that the wool was not interested, knitting sweaters was tiring, she was afraid that she would buy her Jiaojiao knitting sweaters, she saw the sweaters in the Jiaojiao wardrobe, and her heart trembled, and she didn't want to do it after knitting, and the most terrible thing was that the color was not suitable for her. Finally, I saw the bright red and tender yellow and nodded, this is to be bought, it is rare to meet a good color, this color is only so small that her daughter can set off, and it must be beautiful to wear.

Looking at the fabric next to her, Lin Lishan was immediately excited, the woolen material is very good, and the gray and black colors are also good-looking, think about it with a bright red or bright yellow sweater, her Jiaojiao must like it. secretly planned to make a set for Jiaojiao/Ning clothes, and it would look good to make a coat for Xiao Wu, so I directly asked for two horses and used them slowly.

In the end, she picked a few more pieces of other materials and bought a big bag of cotton, and Lin Lishan reluctantly left.

There is no way, there are not a few clothes in her delicate cabinet, not to mention, they are all washed and white, or they are patched. Thinking about the wardrobe full of clothes for several nieces in the family, and always shouting that there are no clothes to wear, she wants to move all the fabrics here back and let Jiaojiao have one set a day.

When she returned to the first floor, she saw these foods, and she planned to prepare more for her daughter to eat, and occasionally a guest would not sit and chat. You can also satisfy the nephews and nieces at home.

"Xizi, your aunt's purchase is almost done. Then we go and buy food, all you like. That baguette-like bread is not tasty, so let's buy less and eat it. ”

In front of the dim sum and non-staple food counter, she looked at where Xizi was staring at where to buy, and weighed a pound one by one, and after the dim sum and pastry were picked, she thought about weighing three catties of milk candy and three catties of hard candy, and packed them separately. The sugar cubes look quite varied, and they look more upscale. Thinking that Jiaojiao hadn't eaten chocolate yet, this thing was very heavy, and there wasn't much for a catty, so I directly weighed two packs and bought some baguettes.

When all the payments were completed, the 600 yuan overseas Chinese remittance coupons brought also cost only 300 yuan, and she brought enough money, but unfortunately there were not many overseas Chinese remittance coupons, while pondering where to get the tickets, while pulling Xizi back to the car, fortunately, the staff inside helped to send them to the car, otherwise she would have to die of exhaustion.

"Kiko, are you hungry? If you are hungry, we will eat back, and grandma will take you to eat delicious food. ”

"Grandma, let's go back, I'm afraid you'll run inside again, oops, you've moved it home." Let's go back, I'm not hungry. ”

Lin Lishan patted his little head with a smile, "Okay, listen to our Xizi, go back first." In the evening, we will think about what to buy, tomorrow we will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives here, the provincial capital is bigger than the county seat, and there must be more things. ”

Kiko frowned, "It's already a lot, let's buy it when my aunt lacks something." This costs money, tomorrow we will see if we buy it, and my uncle has domestic sales when I go back, but it is much cheaper. “

Lin Lishan laughed when she heard this, and replied to him while driving, "Okay, we'll see if we buy it tomorrow." At night, grandma will take you to play with the children to see if there are many military bags there. ”
