Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Chapter 32 Go to the county seat

Early the next morning, Song Xiuxiu put on newly made clothes for herself and Yaya, and also put on newly made cloth shoes for Yaya to wear.

Yaya looked at her new clothes and happily circled around Song Xiuxiu, asking questions all the time.

Song Xiuxiu was also very happy. Although she had been to many places in her previous life, she could no longer live like a normal person at that time.

When she was alive, she had only been to the commune, and it was the day she and Lu Aiguo received their certificates.

So this is also her first time to go to the county town in two lives.

Just as mother and daughter were happily dressing up, Lu Aiguo stepped in.

"Have you packed up? Meet Uncle Zhou at the entrance of the village later."

"Okay, let's go!" As she said that, Song Xiuxiu picked up a cloth bag she had sewn, then bent down and picked up Yaya.

"Let me hold her. Even though she is thin, she still has some weight!" Lu Aiguo said as he took Yaya over.

Song Xiuxiu didn't argue. In her opinion, this was a good thing. Father and daughter should be closer!

Seeing Yaya's happy look in Lu Aiguo's arms, the corners of Song Xiuxiu's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

After Song Xiuxiu locked the courtyard door, Lu Aiguo grabbed her hand.

Song Xiuxiu wanted to break free, but the man's grip was very tight, leaving no gaps.

In desperation, Song Xiuxiu could only say helplessly: "Don't do this, it's not good for others to see!"

At this time, Lu Aiguo was very thick-skinned, and said without blushing, "You have the certificate, what are you afraid of!"

Seeing that there was nothing she could do against this man, Song Xiuxiu had no choice but to let him hold her hand and walk forward.

Walking in the village, people going to work passed by in twos and threes. Although they said hello, their eyes unconsciously glanced at their hands.

In this era, even if you are a legally married couple, holding hands while walking on the street is something that will make people point their fingers.

Even though Song Xiuxiu had lived two lives, she had never encountered such a situation. At this moment, she lowered her head so hard that she wanted to find a hole to crawl in. She did not dare to raise her head to say hello to others.

The complete opposite of Song Xiuxiu is Lu Aiguo.

I don’t know whether this man is too thick-skinned or shameless. He always walks on the road with his head held high and greets everyone enthusiastically, as if he is afraid that others will not see him.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Song Xiuxiu saw Zhou Laizi sitting on a bullock cart waiting for them from a distance.

As if she had grasped a life-saving straw, Song Xiuxiu hurriedly shook off the man's hand, quickly ran to Zhou Laizi, and greeted him warmly.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting!"

Zhou Laizi said with a smile: "It didn't take long, I just came here for a while."

Lu Aiguo, who followed behind, briefly greeted Zhou Cripzi, then settled Song Xiuxiu and Yaya on the bullock cart while he chatted with Zhou Cripzi.

Because there is a big market in the county town today, many people in the village want to go to the market. In order to facilitate everyone, the village asked Zhou Laizi to drive an ox cart to take everyone to the county town. Each person was charged five cents for a round trip, which was considered extra. Generate income for the village.

Since the government now has unified purchasing and marketing, speculation and manipulation are not allowed, so at the county market, some local people sell poultry, eggs, vegetables grown at home, or hand-knitted products.

If you want to sell your own products, you have to ask the production team to issue a self-produced and self-sold certificate.

Even with all this trouble, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people to go to the market.

Not long after, about eight or nine women came.

Some of them were carrying baskets, some were carrying cloth bags, and some were carrying several woven wicker baskets, all heading for the market.

After everyone arrived, the group set off.

Along the way, Song Xiuxiu and Yaya in her arms naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

But everyone was talking in a catered manner and did not discuss the rights and wrongs that happened a few days ago.

Everyone knows who the Lu family is, and more importantly, Lu Aiguo is back alive now, and he is still an officer. He is the only officer in the village and even the entire commune. He is very tough and no one dares to offend him.

Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, and soon they arrived at the county seat.

Zhou Zizi said to go back at 04:30 in the afternoon, so that everyone would not miss the time.

Then everyone went to their destinations.

Lu Aiguo hugged Yaya and took Song Xiuxiu to the only department store in the county.

Although it is said to be a department store, it is actually just a few two-story buildings. Although it may be considered very simple in later generations, it is still very grand in the current era. After all, the county party committee compound is nothing more than rows of green buildings. Brick and tile house.

The first floor of the department store sells daily necessities that ordinary people can afford.

The second floor sells some high-end products, such as tobacco and alcohol, bicycles, sewing machines, and some ready-made clothes.

Basically, the people who can go to the second floor to buy things are prominent local figures.

The first thing you see when you enter the door of the department store is a screen wall with a huge red star on the top and a line of large characters "Serve the People" below.

Passing through the screen wall, you can see counters selling various products, with various slogans posted on the walls on both sides.

It is prohibited to beat or scold customers without any reason

It is forbidden to serve customers with a boss mentality

It is prohibited to ridicule, ridicule or ridicule customers.

It is forbidden to monopolize the market and feed the common people

……

Although these slogans may seem strange in later generations, they are very practical now.

After Song Xiuxiu walked around the first floor, she came to the counter selling cloth.

She and Yaya were really short of clothes, so she wanted to buy more.

"How many cloth tickets do you have?" Song Xiuxiu asked in a low voice.

Some of the cloth tickets received from the Lu family during the last separation had been used before. Although there was still some left, Song Xiuxiu was worried that it was not enough, so she asked him like this.

Lu Aiguo smiled and said, "You go ahead and buy it. I have enough cloth tickets."

After hearing what the man said, Song Xiuxiu really stopped being polite. With a wave of her hand, she bought enough fabric to make three or four sets of clothes for her and Yaya.

While waiting to pay, Lu Aiguo took out a wallet clip directly from his pants pocket, and then counted the money and cloth tickets to the salesperson one by one, making the salesperson dumbfounded.

After working as a salesperson for so many years, this was the first time I saw a woman buying fabrics with such a large amount of money, while the man next to me didn't complain at all and paid her very diligently.

The salesperson couldn't understand how capable a woman must be to make her man be so submissive.

After buying the fabric, Lu Aiguo took Song Xiuxiu, mother and daughter, to the shoe counter.

I bought two pairs of cloth shoes and one pair of leather shoes for each of them.

Song Xiuxiu didn't refuse and accepted it happily.

Seeing his wife and daughter so happy, Lu Aiguo felt indescribably happy!

Then he took Song Xiuxiu and Yaya to the second floor...
