59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"You are such a thief, there are several pieces of ice cream in a bucket!" Auntie praised.

Chen Li didn't understand and thought it was an insult, so she retorted: "I'm not a thief, I'm Chen Li, Xu Damao is the thief!"

Feeling that he had no confidence, he added at the end: "Zhu Zi said so. He said Xu Damao is a thief!"

"Ha ha!"

There was another round of laughter.

Even in the East Factory area, many people knew about the feud between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, and some even witnessed Sha Zhu cursing and beating Xu Damao.

"Okay, don't talk to them and eat the bread quickly." Chen Jianjun said to his daughter with a smile.

Chen Li smiled happily as she tore open the oil paper that wrapped the bread, and tore off a piece with her little hands and put it into her mouth.

To be honest, the bread of that era was not very delicious. It lacked sufficient high-gluten flour, fermentation and other materials and procedures, and was far from being as fluffy and soft as the bread of later generations.

But for children, this is already a rare delicacy.

"Would you like some water?"

"do not want!"

Turning around, Chen Li said to Chen Feng coquettishly: "Big Pot, I want to drink soda."

"No, grandpa said that he is not allowed to buy you delicious food recently." Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Li had a bitter face, this was a tragedy!

Sure enough, kids who skip school get spanked when they get home!

She would rather be spanked!

After selling ten mackerels to the Security Department, Chen Feng took Zhou Jing to the Purchasing Department, leaving Chen Li to sit in the Security Department's office to play.

Of course Chen Li wanted to follow Chen Feng. The little girl was at an age where she was curious about everything and wanted to follow her big brother to see everything.

However, a few aunts from the security department took out some snacks, including melon seeds, peanuts, and candies, which instantly made Chen Li very aware of the situation.

After entering the purchasing department, he left the work to Zhou Jing and the buyer, and sat in Niu Gengshen's office to chat with Director Niu.

"Uncle Niu, I want to buy some springs, the kind that are about 15 or 20 centimeters high and strong enough to bear more than 10 kilograms. Do you know how to make them?"

Niu Gengshen looked at him curiously and asked, "You want an axle and a spring, what are you doing?"

The axle can be used as a rotating shaft and the spring can be used as a shock absorber. He suspected that Chen Feng was making a car. After all, the fact that Chen Feng made a children's car for his sister had spread around the steel mill.

"I said I would make a spring bed, do you believe it?" Chen Feng said with a faint smile.

Niu Gengshen nodded and said, "I know that. Sofas all use springs!"

From the 1950th century to , sofas used springs as their supporting structure. It was not until a few years ago when the rubber foam technology was invented abroad that the way sofas were filled was changed.

However, most sofas in China, especially old-fashioned sofas, still use springs.

"You can go to the furniture factory and ask. They should have springs for sale."

Chen Feng wrote it down immediately. He had been to a hardware store but didn't find this thing, and he really didn't think of buying it at the furniture factory.

"Xiao Feng, the fish are all sold. Shall we go back?" Zhou Jing knocked on the door and asked with satisfaction.

"it is good!"

"Goodbye Uncle Niu!"

"Come back when you have time."

After returning to the door, he picked up Chen Li, who had eaten half a piece of bread, and the three of them went home together. Chen Jianjun would ride his bike back by himself.

"Uncle, I want to eat ice cream!"

Chen Li sat in the truck bed and said to Zhou Jing that if she didn't buy a bucket now while her uncle was here, she would not be able to eat for many days when he went back tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll buy you a bucket!" Zhou Jing agreed with a smile.

Chen Li flattered happily: "Uncle, you are so nice!"

"Ha ha!"

He made a special trip to the Wangfujing cold food shop and bought a bucket for Chen Li. Unable to resist the little girl's pleading, he also scooped a large cup for her and let her eat it while sitting in the truck bed.

"Chen Feng!"

It’s Qin Jingru!

Qin Jingru was only responsible for taking care of Qin Huairu in Sijiu City. On weekdays, she would buy vegetables, coal, rice, etc., and then go for a walk on the street.

There is no way. Regional discrimination, urban-rural discrimination, job discrimination, academic discrimination, just count them and you will find that there is actually a lot of discrimination these days.

As a country girl with no education or job, Qin Jingru was at the bottom of the society discriminated against in Nanluoguxiang.

Even those unemployed boys and girls aged 13 or 14 who are not in school or have no job can look down on her.

"What a coincidence, I'm on the street!"

"Yeah, I have nothing to do, so I just come here for a walk."

Qin Jingru was too leisurely and couldn't find anyone to go to the park with.

She was not like her cousin Qin Huairu, who knew how to say nice things to make the old lady happy, who could make the old lady happy when she played cards, and who could praise and chat with Zhou Qing.

Even Chen Feng, who disliked the Jia family, took the initiative to approach Qin Huairu and turned a blind eye.

After taking a casual look at the ice cream in Chen Li's hand, the little foodie turned around very vigilantly, facing the inside of the truck, with his back to her, and happily dug with a small wooden stick.

If it were Chen Hao and the others, she could dig a few pieces for them.

If it was the unfamiliar Qin Jingru, then don’t even think about it!

Chen Feng smiled secretly in his heart and took out an orange from his "bag" and gave it to her.

"I'll treat you to an orange. You can read a book when you have time. I remember your cousin can write. Now that you have time, you might as well ask her to teach you how to read and write. It will be much easier for you to marry someone from the city in the future."

Qin Jingru blushed and felt quite embarrassed.

However, he took the orange given by Chen Feng smoothly.

She had seen oranges before, but only in pictures on paper. She had never actually seen one, let alone eaten one.

"I'm going to go back now. We'll talk again when we have time!"

Chen Feng left with a smile, Zhou Jing smiled but didn't say anything. It was impossible to share a cup of ice cream with Qin Jingru, it was too expensive!

The country folks either sell the dates they grow themselves or eat them secretly at home.

It’s not like in the future, when supplies are plentiful and not worth much, and people can bring a few pounds of fruit when they come to say hello.

After all, different times require different ways of entertaining guests!

"Ok!"

Qin Jingru watched them leave with envy. Like most country girls, after arriving in the old city, she vowed to stay and become a wealthy city dweller who would not starve!

There is no way, there is really no way!

This is a disease caused by poverty!

Decades later, in the new century, living in the city is still the greatest desire of the vast majority of rural people!

"Lily, is it delicious?"

Zhou Jing teased Chen Li with a smile.

"good to eat!"

Chen Li has a very sweet mouth!

Back in the yard, the old lady was not stingy and let Chen Li give each of her friends a small cup of ice cream.

Chen Feng, Zhou Jing and the old man all watched Chen Li with a smile on their faces.

It was obvious that the old lady wanted to observe her granddaughter's temperament on purpose, so she might give her targeted instruction in the future.

Chen Li looked at the paper cup, then at her grandmother, and then at the pairs of eyes that were looking at her expectantly.

It’s so difficult!
