Wearing books in the 70s: the delicate educated youth have material space

The scene of a little boy carrying a big sack is quite shocking.

"Sibo, what are you carrying?"

Although this bag was exactly the same as the bag she brought him before, she didn't think about it. After all, everyone would use the same bag to pack things.

Liu Sibo was surprised when he saw his sister in front of him. He didn't expect that her sister would come to pick him up: "Sister, let's talk about it when we get back."

He didn't dare to say that this was his leftover food, otherwise his sister would definitely be angry.

Cheng Xu put down the bamboo basket behind his back and asked Liu Sibo to put the sack in the basket: "You put it in, it's hard to carry."

She didn't dare to put the fabric in the backpack. This backpack was new. She was afraid of scratching the fabric, so she had to hold it by herself. The backpack also contained the pork belly she had taken out from the space before, as well as the lumps of brown sugar she had taken out. She originally wanted to prepare some eggs, but the eggs were difficult to put away and get. She was afraid that they would be crushed on her back, so she thought that when she returned to the village, she could exchange sugar with the villagers for eggs.

Liu Sibo put the sack in his backpack and carried it directly on his back.

Cheng Xu made a flash of his mind and the basket appeared on his younger brother's body.

"I'll carry it, you're still young." The 13-year-old boy is less than 1.7 meters tall. I heard in the past that children who are too young will not grow taller if they work hard. Uncle Liu is 1.8 meters tall. Bo can't grow any shorter.

Liu Sibo didn't listen to what his sister said. He was already 13 years old and not a child. "Sister, I'm in better health than you, I'm stronger than you, and I'm still a boy."

The boy was a little angry that his sister looked down on him, and Cheng Xu was a little amused. This was a blow to the child's self-esteem.

"Okay, okay, sister asked you to carry it, but we have to walk back today. The oxcart has already left. It will be very tiring for one person to carry it on the road. I will wait for you to carry it, and we will go together."

Liu Sibo thought about it for a moment. He was afraid that his sister would be unhappy if he rejected him, so when his sister was replaced, he would ask her to carry it for a while.

"it is good."

It was getting late, and Cheng Xu was going to take Sibo out for dinner. He still had 15 yuan left, so he could still eat something in town.

Cheng Xu walked to the state-owned restaurant and prepared to order two dishes.

Liu Sibo followed Cheng Xu and saw his sister walking in so openly, pulling her by the corner of her clothes, "Sister, eating here is not cheap, let's go home and eat."

Liu Sibo has never been to a state-owned hotel. He only knows that it is expensive. A meal here is enough to eat several meals at home. He does not want to waste this money.

"Your sister, I have money. Have you forgotten that my dad sends me money every month?"

Cheng Xu was really lucky that the original owner had a pair of good parents and a brother who loved the original owner. After the original owner arrived in Liujia Village, he never lacked money or tickets.

After she woke up, she calculated the accounts. The original owner's parents and brother had to send ten yuan to the original owner every month, and then five yuan to Uncle Liu and the others, not counting various bills.

Although my parents have high positions and my brother has a good job, they live in the city and their expenses are much higher than in the countryside. Moreover, I have been here for a year. Being able to send mail like this every month without interruption is enough. It proves how much the original person is loved by his family.

Liu Sibo knew that Uncle Cheng sent money to his sister, but didn't her sister say that she spent a lot of money every month and didn't save any money?

It's the end of June this month, and his sister probably has no money.

Liu Sibo asked his question. "Sister, I remember you said you had no money before."

Cheng Xu's smile stopped.

The original person had no money every month before, and all the money was spent on Zhou Zhaodi and Qi Sheng. The original person was fooled by these two people, and the only thing that made him improve was not talking about the situation at home, but this improvement was also not much.

Her current money was still unused this month, and some of the original money she had saved before was not much, only about twenty yuan in total.

Over the past year or so, my parents have sent me more than 120 yuan, and now I only have about 90 yuan left. I have spent at least [-] yuan on Qi Sheng and Zhou Zhaodi. The whole thing was taken advantage of.

Cheng Xu couldn't think about it carefully, it made her heartache when she thought about it.

"Now that you have money, come and eat. There is no shortage of money and tickets."

She pulled him to the table in the hotel and sat down. It was already noon, and he would be starving if he walked back without eating.

"Don't think so much, your sister and I won't be destitute in one meal."

She walked up to look at today's menu, "I want a roast pork with potatoes, three steamed buns, a twice-cooked pork, and a soup."

The waiter sat at his seat and calculated the money. Cheng Xu paid three yuan plus food stamps. The dish she ordered was good and it was all meat, so the money was a bit more. But she didn't feel bad at all. This was what she ate, and Not for other people to eat.

"Eat quickly. Let's go home when we're full."

Liu Sibo smelled the aroma of rice, two meat dishes, one soup and three big steamed buns. How did his sister get rich?

Cheng Xu only ate one steamed bun. The steamed bun at this time was quite big. She couldn't eat too much. One was enough. The remaining two steamed buns were prepared for Sibo, and the dishes in the restaurant were also quite large. Yes, no wonder it was so expensive. In order not to waste it, the two of them kept stuffing it into their stomachs until their stomachs bulged.

Cheng Xu sipped the soup after finishing the meal. The master chef in this state-owned restaurant was so good at his craftsmanship.

Seeing that noon was here, Cheng Xu didn't waste any more time and took Liu Sibo back.

After arriving home, Cheng Xu wanted to open the sack to see what was inside. Liu Sibo didn't stop him this time, and Cheng Xu saw what was inside.

It was all the meat sauce, rice, and honey she brought to Liu Sibo last time!

"If you didn't finish it at school, why would you leave it home?" Zhou Zhaodi is still here, so taking the meat sauce back means she can eat it too!

Liu Sibo looked at her and said aggrievedly: "Sister, I don't want to eat these good things alone."

Cheng Xu's eyes were like those of a wronged puppy. Cheng Xu stopped talking about him for a while. She also knew that Sibo was not a selfish person. She must have thought wrong when she saw the food, so she didn't eat it and kept it at home. , everyone eats together.

"It's not an example."

Cheng Xu could only forgive this cute little brother, and when he went back to school, he would serve him the meat sauce again.

It was just after two o'clock when they got home. In the remaining time, they could still go to work to earn some work points. The two of them went to the fields together, and Liu Sibo helped Cheng Xu work. The two of them worked together, and Cheng Xu calculated the work points. Yes, Cheng Xu still got one day's work points today.

After Aunt Zhou and Uncle Liu finished work, Cheng Xu took out the cloth he bought in the town and prepared the meat to show them.

"Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhou, look at how I prepared this thank you gift."

"I plan to exchange this brown sugar for some eggs with the folks later."

Zhou Feng looked at the five kilograms of pork belly and six feet of Deliang, plus eggs. This was already a pretty good thank you gift.

"Okay, just prepare it like this."

Liu Minzhi on the side took out another five yuan: "Xuxu, when we were in the health center, the young man paid for the medicine in advance, and we still have to pay him back." Liu Minzhi asked, what did he spend five yuan on in the first place? .

"Uncle Liu, I have money." Cheng Xu pushed away the money handed over by Liu Minzhi.

"What money do you have? You couldn't keep any money before." Although Liu Minzhi was angry with Cheng Xu for spending money lavishly before, his brother could make money and was the director of a steel factory in the city, so Liu Minzhi also managed Cheng Xu. How to spend the catkins.

"I told you, your dad sends you money every month, but you can't use it any more. You didn't save any money before, and you spent all ten yuan a month." Liu Minzhi said this question every time , he had to remind Cheng Xu a few words.

"Uncle, I won't misuse money anymore. Although I am now," Cheng Xu looked in the direction of Zhou Zhaodi and saw that there was no change on her face, "I don't remember how I spent the money before, but I will start from today." , money should be spent wisely.”

Cheng Xu praised Zhou Zhaodi's good psychological quality, which was stable and unchanged every time.

When Cheng Xu talked about the money he had spent in the past, the two looked at each other, and Zhou Zhaodi could not shy away from looking at Cheng Xu.
