Rebirth has space, and the new love sends the bad husband to prison
Chapter 87 Mother and Daughter Enter the City
On that day, Liang Sumei took her mother and sister to the educated youth camp instead of returning to the Liang family. During the time when Liang Sumei suffered a fracture, she noticed a quiet little courtyard at the educated youth camp. This little courtyard seemed to be deserted on weekdays, and a house in the courtyard was just enough to accommodate the three of them, mother and daughter.
Uncle Shen told them that this courtyard was once the residence of the educated youth. As the educated youth returned to the city, this place became vacant. As no one lived in it for a long time, the house looked a little run-down, and every time it rained, the roof would drip with rain.
Liang Sumei was not intimidated by the harsh conditions. She thought that since she was going to stay here temporarily, she should at least make this little home warmer. It just so happened that she had received her salary. Liang Guangchuan had already paid the 1 yuan promised to Mrs. Liang. With the remaining salary plus the 3 yuan she had earned from Liang Qing, she had a total of 17 yuan on hand. Although this amount was not much, it was enough for the three of them to repair and decorate the house.
Liang Sumei plans to go to the county town tomorrow to buy some daily necessities. In order to prevent the Liang family from causing trouble, she decides to take her mother and sister with her.
Fortunately, the summer nights were not cold, and even without bedding, one could sleep well. When Luo Jinqiu heard that she was going to the county tomorrow, she was so excited that she tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. She was already 40 years old, but she had never set foot outside of Tianwa Village.
"Xiaomei, can't you just go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy things? Why do you have to go to the county?" Luo Jinqiu asked with some doubts and confusion.
Liang Sumei smiled gently and explained patiently: "Mom, there are many varieties of things in the county, and many of them cannot be bought in the town. Let's buy everything at once this time, so that we don't have to go to the county again if we are short of something in the future."
In fact, Liang Sumei had more plans in mind than that. She went to the county this time mainly to deliver bean sprouts to Guan Haishan. She has now mastered the technology of sprouting bean sprouts, and she wants to test the market reaction with the bean sprouts in the space mall. If the response is enthusiastic and the supply exceeds the demand, she plans to teach this technology to her mother and apply to the brigade to open a bean sprout factory in the village, so that her mother can become a technician in the factory, so that her mother can increase a stable income.
"Xiaomei, why don't I not go. This county town is so big, I'm afraid I'll get lost. What should I do? It will be even more difficult to deal with if I get lost again!" Luo Jinqiu said with a worried look on his face.
"Mom, don't worry. I've been there once before. The county town actually just has a wider road than our Tianwa Village. It's not as prosperous and complicated as you imagine. Just follow me closely, you will definitely not get lost." Liang Sumei comforted her mother.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. But you have to walk slowly. I will hold Xiaoling and follow you closely." Luo Jinqiu finally felt relieved.
The next day, at dawn, Liang Sumei, her mother and her daughter set out on a journey to the county. On the way to the town, they were lucky enough to catch a ride on a oxcart from Guijia Village that was delivering vegetables. Liang Sumei was a person who understood the ways of the world. She enthusiastically took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the driver. The driver took the cigarettes as if he had picked up some treasure, and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly and enthusiastically invited the three of them to get on the car.
Arriving at Yangshan Town, they did not stay for long and went straight to the bus station. As they left early, the three of them were lucky enough to get seats and avoid the crowds.
Liang Sumei carefully arranged a window seat for her mother so that she could enjoy the scenery outside the window at any time and relieve the discomfort of motion sickness. Luo Jinqiu was like a curious child. It was her first time taking a bus. She stared out the window without blinking, as if she wanted to engrave every village and every field in her heart.
As the car bumped along, the scenery outside the window unfolded like a flowing scroll. Villages, fields, rivers, small bridges... everything seemed so fresh and vivid. Luo Jinqiu was so fascinated that he seemed to forget the passage of time.
"We have arrived at the final stop, everyone get off! We have arrived at the final stop, everyone get off!" The voice of the conductor interrupted Luo Jinqiu's thoughts. She realized that the bus had arrived at the county bus station without her noticing. Although the trip was short, Luo Jinqiu felt like she had experienced a wonderful journey. She got off the bus reluctantly, silently looking forward to taking the bus again on the return trip.
After getting off the bus, the scene in front of him immediately attracted Luo Jinqiu's attention. A wide porch came into view, with a few large characters on the lintel - "Ningxi County Bus Station", which looked very solemn. Inside the station, buses to various towns were parked neatly. Luo Jinqiu looked at these vehicles one by one with curiosity, silently reciting the stops on them.
"Mom, let's go. I'll take you to the mall." Liang Sumei whispered to her mother who was still staring at the car.
Luo Jinqiu came to his senses, hurriedly held Xiaoling's hand tightly, and followed Liang Sumei closely, fearing that he would get lost in this strange city.
They came to Ningxi Department Store, a two-story mall that almost included all the goods in Ningxi County and was a shopping mecca in the eyes of locals. As soon as Luo Jinqiu stepped into the mall, she was attracted by the spacious counters and the dazzling array of goods in front of her, and she couldn't bear to close her eyes.
Liang Suling's eyes were quickly drawn to the stationery counter. She pulled her mother's hand and was about to walk over there, but Luo Jinqiu held her tightly. Luo Jinqiu was worried that his daughter would get lost in this busy shopping mall.
"Mom, I want to go look at some stationery." Liang Suling pouted coquettishly.
"Xiaoling, be obedient. We have to follow your sister." Luo Jinqiu patiently persuaded his daughter, his voice full of love and helplessness.
Liang Sumei, who was selecting daily necessities, accidentally saw a look of longing on her sister's face, so she hurriedly asked. When she learned that her sister wanted to look at stationery, Liang Sumei took her sister's hand without hesitation and walked to the stationery counter. Liang Suling put her face close to the glass of the counter, staring at the items inside attentively and carefully, with excitement in her eyes: brand new exercise books, pencils, and exquisite pencil sharpeners.
"I want two grid notebooks, two pencils, a pencil sharpener and an eraser. How much do I need in total?" Liang Sumei asked the salesperson.
"It's sixty cents in total," the salesperson replied. Liang Sumei took out sixty cents from her pocket and handed it to the salesperson.
Liang Suling happily received her own stationery with a bright smile on her face. The pencil she used before could not be called a real pencil, but a small corn stalk with a pencil lead inserted in it. As for the exercise book, it was an old book used by Liang Wang. She could only erase the words Liang Wang had written and then write again on it. Now, with these new stationery, Liang Suling feels very happy.
"Xiaomei, spend less and just buy a notebook and a pencil." Luo Jinqiu said as he picked up the notebook and pencil and wanted to put them back in their original places.
However, her action was stopped by Liang Sumei. "Mom, after Xiaomei finishes using this notebook, she will definitely need to buy a new one! And buying a new one will cost money for the trip, why don't you calculate the cost?"
After listening to this, Luo Jinqiu thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
They continued to choose daily necessities. Pots, pans, soaps... Liang Sumei wanted to buy a kettle, but when she asked the price, it was 5 yuan! She was reluctant to buy it, thinking: I'd better wait for a chance to buy it from the space mall. After all, everything there is free!
"Mom, let's go buy clothes for you and Xiaoling." Liang Sumei took her mother's hand without saying a word and went upstairs.
"Xiaomei, don't buy it. You don't have much money left. You can't keep spending it like this! The three of us still have to make a living in the future. The more you can save, the better." Luo Jinqiu looked embarrassed and tried to dissuade his daughter.
"Mom, look at the two of you. You wear the same clothes all day long and you don't even have anything to change into. I'm almost fainting from the smell of you!" Liang Sumei said, covering her nose with her hands in an exaggerated manner and frowning.
Liang Suling blinked her big eyes and looked at her sister in confusion. Liang Sumei winked at her sister, and Liang Suling immediately understood and started to pester her mother and act like a spoiled child: "Mom, other children in the village don't like to play with me. They all say I smell bad."
"I've never seen a child in the village without chapped skin. How about buying a piece of cloth and I'll make a set for you and Xiaoling?" Luo Jinqiu suggested.
"Mom, you have so much time to make clothes that you don't even know how many acres of land you have planted." Liang Sumei pulled her mother's arm and walked straight to the second floor of the department store.
Luo Jinqiu was somewhat reluctant, but he couldn't persuade his daughter, so he had no choice but to follow her, muttering: "If you want to buy it, buy it for you and Xiaoling. I don't need it. I'll wash the clothes tonight, and they will be dry by tomorrow morning."
Liang Sumei ignored her mother's words and went straight to the women's clothing counter. A light blue lapel shirt caught her attention. The color of this shirt is fresh and elegant, not too ostentatious, suitable for wearing in the countryside, and its fabric is light and thin, so it will definitely feel cool and comfortable in summer.
"Comrade, how much is this dress?" Liang Sumei asked, pointing at the dress.
"Two dollars," the salesperson replied expressionlessly.
"Can the price be a little cheaper? I want to buy a few more pieces!" Liang Sumei frowned and looked at the salesperson expectantly.
"Our prices are fixed, they can't be cheaper." Looking at Liang Sumei, his tone revealed a little helplessness. Indeed, the products in Ningxi Department Store are clearly marked with prices, and the salesperson does not have much autonomy in setting prices.
"Xiaomei, this is too expensive, let's go." Luo Jinqiu, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard the price. Two dollars was a considerable expense, enough to buy a large piece of cloth to make clothes for three people.
Liang Sumei thought that she could choose a new top for her mother and sister, and buy an extra piece of cloth so that her mother could sew two new pairs of pants. Pants were easier to make than tops and could be completed in two nights.
"Mom, please try it first. If it's suitable, I would have bought it long ago," Liang Sumei said seriously looking at her mother.
There was a hint of hesitation in Luo Jinqiu's eyes. She was about to refuse, but when she saw her daughter's determined eyes, she reluctantly took the clothes handed to her by the salesperson.
When she put on the new dress, she seemed to light up. The printed chiffon top had a soft lining, was not transparent but elegant. Compared with the washed-out coarse cloth clothes she usually wore, it was a world of difference. She stood in front of the mirror, turning her body left and right, admiring the changes brought by the new dress, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder it was so expensive, it was different when she put it on.
"Mom, you look really good in this dress. You look very energetic." Liang Sumei was also very happy when she saw her mother's satisfied expression. Without hesitation, she took out two brand new one-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to the salesperson, "We'll buy this dress."
"Oh, Xiaomei, Mom won't buy it." Luo Jinqiu watched helplessly as her daughter spent the 2 yuan easily, feeling extremely distressed.
"Sister, you are so lucky to have such a filial daughter." The salesperson took the 2 yuan, was in a good mood, and said flattering words with a smile.
"Mom, let's pick out another piece of cloth and you make pants for us." Liang Sumei said happily.
When Luo Jinqiu heard that she could make clothes for the children herself, she immediately became excited. She felt very satisfied to be able to do something for the children. So she nodded enthusiastically to show her agreement.
