Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world

Xiao Li's name is Li Mulan. She just graduated from a vocational high school this year and came to the street office to work as a publicist.

Her family lives in the railway bureau's family building. According to her, starting from her grandfather, her father, her uncle, and then her brother and cousin, they have all been in the railway bureau for several generations.

Li Mulan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, sister promises to let you sit in a good seat."

Then she explained in detail: "In the first row of the carriage, tickets are sold as double seats. But in fact, this seat is only a little shorter than other three-seater seats. And there is a small table in front of the seat, so there is no need to Others are squeezed together. In addition, the first row is more spacious than other seats, so your hands and feet can stretch out a little more."

"That's really great!" Lin Qian happily took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and gave them to Director Deng and Li Mulan.

"Oh, thank you sister, I haven't eaten candy for a long time. My sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby, and the candy coupons at home for several months have been replaced with brown sugar for her to use during confinement."

Xiao Li took the candy and stuffed one into his mouth, "Hey, what brand of candy is this? It tastes better than the one sold by the supply and marketing cooperative!"

"I don't know the brand very well. I bought it when my relatives came back from visiting relatives in the south." Lin Qian replied calmly.

Xiao Li nodded in approval: "Let me tell you, the candies and snacks there are different from those here. When my uncle went to the south with the car a few years ago, he brought back candies that were better than this. , what does it seem to be called chocolate?"

Then Xiao Li sighed, "It didn't happen anymore."

Lin Qian knew about this past. Too many people passed by, the ports were tightened, and the "cultivating ports" were cancelled.

The reason she dared to distribute the candy was because the packaging of the candy was inconspicuous, and the price was similar to that sold by supply and marketing cooperatives, and the country was not always closed.

Secondly, the transportation and communication in this era are very underdeveloped. Unlike in the future, you can find it with a casual search, and it is not difficult to conceal information.

After Director Deng heard this, he immediately stopped peeling the candies and put a few candies in his hand into his jacket pocket.

Li Mulan didn't ask any more questions and continued: "Before you go to Harbin, you should prepare thick cotton clothes! It's already very cold in the Northeast. I remember last November, my dad followed the car to Harbin. He said In some places over there, it has already started to snow in October! Also, the red sausage over there is really delicious!”

"Bring some fruit with you when you take the train. The air on the train is not very good. It's best to leave someone alone to keep vigil at night. You don't know how bad some people are nowadays. Listen to my dad..." Xiao Li seemed to be talking. , and talked about a lot of precautions for taking the train that she heard from her father, and Director Deng also added enthusiastically next to her.

Looking at the two people who were talking more and more passionately, Lin Qian nodded and wondered, does anyone who can work in the street office in this era have to have social attributes?

After listening to the precautions for green cars and survival strategies in the Northeast for an hour, Lin Qian finally walked out of the street office door.

She went out and took a turn, and bought a pound of ribs and a pumpkin with meat and vegetable tickets. She planned to make ribs and steamed pumpkin at noon, and the unfinished pumpkin would be used to make pumpkin cakes tomorrow morning.

As soon as I walked in with my things, I heard a burst of hearty laughter.

"Sissi is back from shopping for groceries!" A woman of about forty years old was walking out of the living room. Lin Qian couldn't help but take a few more glances. In this era, it is rare to encounter a woman who is in good spirits and has a rosy and shiny complexion. woman.

"It's been too long, have you forgotten your aunt?" the other party teased, taking the pumpkin from Lin Qian's hand without any explanation and helping her carry it to the kitchen.

"No way! Auntie is my treasure chest!" Lin Qian replied with a smile.

Memories related to her flashed through his mind, the hostess of the next door neighbor's house, Ms. Zeng Jingcai.

Because there was a food shortage when the eldest daughter was born and she had no way to support her, she always hoped to have another daughter later.

Unexpectedly, all the boys were born later, so Zeng Jingcai, who had been a neighbor for more than ten years, raised Lin Qian as her own daughter.

She has always loved Lin Qian very much, and the little girl has never stopped using the cream that is difficult for others to buy in the supply and marketing cooperative.

When I was a child, I heard adults tell the story of Du Shiniang who sank a treasure chest in anger, and he even said in a decent manner: "Du Shiniang has a treasure chest, and I have a great aunt!"

Lin Qian took Zeng Jingcai's hand and said, "Auntie, I'm cooking for lunch, so you must stay and try my handiwork!"

"Yeah, I told you not to leave and stay for dinner, but your aunt didn't listen!" Gao Xiao'an stood at the door of the kitchen, smiling and asking again to stay.

Zeng Jingcai replied with a hint of helplessness: "Sissi knows how to cook, and I want to try it too! But today, your Aunt Song is not at home, so I am the only one cooking. Don't worry, the days are long!"

After saying that, Zeng Jingcai quickly strode out the door as if she was afraid of the mother and daughter's entanglement.

She had seen how a cold-faced professor in Lin Zhongqin turned into a soft-spoken professor step by step under the soft whispers of the mother and daughter.

After sending Zeng Jingcai out, Gao Xiao'an returned to the kitchen to help with the preparations and told Lin Qian what happened just now.

"Your great aunt came over to give something away. I left her talking and told her that we were going to the countryside to become educated youth. She also thought it was good."

"I was still wondering whether it was a good idea to go to the countryside to become an educated youth. If you can't go to high school, what should you do when you go to college? Maomao will also be studying in a few years. Education in the countryside is not as good as in the city. . But today your great aunt told me that Uncle Song has also been posted on big-character posters several times, and I don’t know if he can pass this test."

Lin Qian listened quietly, cut open the pumpkin neatly in her hands, picked out the pumpkin seeds, and replied: "Mom, don't worry about me and Maomao, maybe dad will come back in a few years."

"I hope so!" Gao Xiao'an washed the chopped ribs and handed them to her, and then said: "I thought your aunt Zeng worked in the supply and marketing cooperative and knew a lot of people, so I asked her to help find a few A reliable person sold the big items in our house. Your aunt Zeng said that the government is strict now and you need to find someone you can trust. You can put the things in her place first and sell them slowly. After selling them, you can mail the money to us. .”

This was all discussed with Lin Qian before. The most valuable items in the house include a sewing machine, a men's bicycle and a radio.

Nowadays, these things are priceless on the market, and there are many people waiting to buy them. However, in this era, if you are labeled as a speculator, the punishment is quite severe. However, this kind of thing will not be rectified by the people or the officials.

In addition, most people's families are not wealthy, and the family planning policy has not yet begun. In some families, one person's salary may have to feed seven or eight people.

She and Gao Xiao'an didn't know many people, so she had to ask the Song family next door.

Lin Qian nodded: "Mom, tell Aunt Zeng that if the other party doesn't have enough money, you can use the supply invoices issued by various units to offset it. Our family is not short of money now, but the supply invoices are rationed. After we go to the countryside, It will only become less and less the more you use it.”

"You are still thoughtful." Gao Xiaoan said with a smile: "It is probably difficult to change food stamps, meat stamps and food stamps, but some families probably have some of these daily industrial product stamps and non-staple food stamps. I heard that there is no shortage in rural areas. Food, we are short of tickets to buy daily necessities. When the time comes, we can use the money and tickets to exchange for some food with fellow villagers.”

"Mom, where's Maomao? I didn't hear his voice. Are you asleep?" Lin Qian suddenly remembered that she hadn't heard the little one's voice since she got home.

"Your Aunt Zeng came here with your brother Qiu Yuan just now. Mao Mao pestered Qiu Yuan to go out to play. He has a good temper, so he put Mao Mao on his shoulders and took him out to play."

"By the way," Gao Xiao'an added, "I think Qiu Yuan came to you with a pen and paper when he came. Did you ask him to write something again?"

Lin Qian shook her head gently and did not answer.

Song Qiuyuan's calligraphy was taught by her grandfather himself. Among the children over five years old in the neighborhood, he was the only one who could endure it and come to Lin's house every day to learn calligraphy. While other boys were running around outside, he was practicing calligraphy in the study at home.

The little girl was in poor health when she was a child. Her grandfather was afraid that she would suffer from studying too much and asked her father to teach her how to write with a pen.

Bald heads, where have these childhood sweethearts reached?

Song Qiuyuan wouldn't take seriously what he said when he was playing house when he was a child, saying that he would marry Qiuyuan's brother when he grew up, right? !

Escape was shameful but useful. Lin Qian steamed the pumpkin ribs and rice, told Gao Xiaoan the time to turn off the flames, and then made an excuse to go to the state-owned store to buy something to avoid meeting Song Qiuyuan.
