After a simple rebirth

Chapter 108 Bookstores and Supermarkets

In fact, Fu Ying should have gone home directly with all her things on her back, and it would not have been appropriate for her to come to Xinhua Bookstore, but Fu Ying didn't want to go there a second time.

Xinhua Bookstore was also on the street, but Fu Ying had to walk another 5 minutes in the opposite direction of her home to get there. Maybe she was walking towards the north? There was no sun now, so Fu Ying couldn't see it either, so she guessed based on her feeling.

There weren't many people in the bookstore, most of them just looked but didn't buy. The Xinhua Bookstore at home didn't allow free reading of books, and when new books arrived, they wouldn't tear off the protective film on the cover to let people read them, only a sample book was left.

Therefore, not many people come to read books or buy stationery in the Xinhua Bookstore here. The stationery in Xinhua Bookstore may be genuine and of good quality, but it is expensive, so parents will choose to let their children buy it in small stationery stores or supermarkets.

Unless you are not short of money, and unless the required materials are specified by the teacher to be purchased from the Xinhua Bookstore.

Fu Ying didn't feel comfortable putting the backpack down at the door because no one would help watch it for free.

Fu Ying was ready to fight quickly and decisively.

Ignoring other people's looks, Fu Ying carried her things in and went straight to check the teaching materials.

Good news, both Guangdong and here are People's Education Press editions, Fu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. As for the information, it is roughly the same as the Xinhua Bookstore in Guangdong, but of course not as complete as there. The Xinhua Bookstore here is only one floor, about the size of two shops, while the one in Guangdong has a second floor with more books.

Fu Ying looked carefully and found a few different books. She didn't know whether the bookstore purchased them itself or the teachers thought they were good and negotiated with the bookstore to purchase them and let the students buy them here.

Fu Ying took a look and found that the books were more likely to be asked to be bought by the teacher. It was obvious that the books were carefully selected and recommended. Overall, they were good, especially the book "Concisely Edited Science Comprehensive". Fu Ying felt that it was well written and quite suitable for someone like her who had a weak foundation and needed to prepare in advance.

Finally, I picked two books and spent 82. When Fu Ying paid, she complained in her heart. There is a reason why the sales of Xinhua Bookstore declined in the future. The recommended price of the book is 53, so it must be sold at 53. There is no discount. Buying two books is equivalent to the living expenses for a long time.

After paying the money, Fu Ying took the documents and walked towards home.

The backpack is really heavy, especially since I haven't carried anything heavy for a long time. Carrying so much at once and walking for so long is getting more and more painful as time goes by.

Fu Ying finally got home with a breath held. She was sweating even if she was not prone to sweating. She wanted to take a shower right after putting down her bag. But! At this time, there was not even a separate shower room in her hometown. She had to boil hot water and soak in a large basin to take a shower.

Thinking of this, Fu Ying sighed, silently took out the things in the backpack and put them away, and gave up the shower. The only thing to be thankful for was that Yunnan Province was not hot and humid, and if she didn't shower after sweating, she wouldn't feel sticky and uncomfortable. It would be fine once the sweat dried, Fu Ying comforted herself.

Seeing that Fu Ma had not come back yet, Fu Ying looked for rice, but she had not bought it yet, so she could not cook rice first. After thinking about it, she washed a pound of bean sprouts and drained the water, and then washed the tofu. If Fu Ma cooked, she would not eat tender tofu, but fried tofu with sauce.

The vegetables were cut according to her habit and the side dishes were also prepared.

Fu Ying filled the kettle with more water and boiled some hot water while waiting for her to come back.

No one knows where Xiao Heitan has gone. He doesn't have many friends in his hometown now, and he doesn't remember most of them, so he shouldn't run around.

Fu Ying returned to her room. She didn't have a special stool at the moment, so she went to the main room to get a long stool and returned to her room. She sat in front of the new desk and prepared to read the new materials.

The new material didn’t seem difficult at first, probably because the focus was on reviewing junior high school lessons at the beginning. Fu Ying felt that she could still understand it, but this was no longer the case later on.

As I was watching, I suddenly heard Fu Ma calling me.

She ran over and sat down. Fu's mother had just entered the room, and Fu Ying ran over to help her take off the backpack on her back. It was heavier than Fu Ying's, and she didn't know what she had bought.

"Have you cooked?" asked Fu's mother.

"No, I didn't see where the rice was. I washed the bean sprouts and tofu. I don't know what you want to do." Fu Ying replied.

Mother Fu took out the things in the backpack one by one. "Oh, by the way, you haven't bought rice yet. Go to the supermarket downstairs and buy a 30-jin bag of rice, and also buy some shower gel and shampoo."

"It's so heavy, can his family help deliver it?" Fu Ying listened to these things and thought that they must weigh about 50 kilograms in total!

"It should be possible. Go ask." Fu's mother took out a bag of fruit and asked Fu Ying, "I bought five kilograms of plums. Do you want to eat some?"

Fu Ying looked at a large bag of green plums and felt that they were very sour. The fruit sellers here brought their fruits from large trucks and sold them in five or ten kilograms. They went to any market and sold them cheaply, which made them popular.

Fu Ying remembers that during the Chinese New Year, her mother would buy dozens of kilograms of tangerines and eat them slowly during the New Year, and then she would grab some to entertain guests. Fu Ying could eat several kilograms by herself, and then her mother would say something to her.

Refusing to try the plums whose taste she didn't know was sweet or sour, Fu Ying chose to buy rice.

When passing by a house, a person ran out. Fu Ying looked and saw that it was Xiao Heitan. Fu Ying looked at the house behind in confusion, not sure whose family it was.

"Whose house is this and why are you there?" Fu Ying asked him.

"This is my third brother's house, and it's my sister's godmother's house!" Fu Zhe replied.

My sister’s godmother? Fu Ying had some impression. In the past, the traditional idea was that the child’s fate was determined, and if there was a suitable one, they would recognize a relative, mainly looking at the godmother.

Fu Yu and Fu Zhe both have godmothers, but Fu Ying doesn’t. Fu Zhe’s godmother’s home is behind his second aunt’s, while Fu Yu’s godmother’s home is a few doors away on the same street. When Fu Ying was a child, she wondered why she didn’t have a godmother, but later she didn’t care anymore, and it didn’t matter whether she had one or not.

Fu Ying nodded, "Do you still remember his home?"

"Third uncle came over to our house after you guys went to the street. When he saw me, he said that third brother was at home and asked me to come over to play. I still remembered playing with third brother when I was a child, so I ran over to see him." Fu Zhe actually didn't quite remember what third brother looked like, but it was nice to have a place to play as it was too boring at home.

"Okay, I'm going to the supermarket downstairs to buy rice. Do you want to come with me?" Fu Ying asked him.

"Go ahead, I want to have some ice cream."

"If there is a lot of money left, I'll buy it for you. If not, you can use your own pocket money to buy it." Fu Ying said in advance. She had been spending money since she came back, so she couldn't challenge Fu's mother's bottom line too much at this time.

"Okay!" Fu Zhe had money, but didn't want to spend his own money.

The two of them arrived at the supermarket. It was called a supermarket, but in fact it was only twice the size of IKEA, so it should have a relatively complete range of items.

"Sister, which store are you from? What do you want to buy?" The boss asked when he saw two children coming into the supermarket.

"We're from the Fu family upstairs. My father is Fu Yongquan and my mother is Zhao Feifei. We want to buy rice. Can your family help send it over?" Fu Ying replied.

"Oh, it's Fu's. Sure, tell me what kind of rice you want and I'll carry it to your house." The boss nodded.

"I want a bag of this glutinous rice. Do you have a 30-jin bag?" Fu Ying asked, pointing to a bag of yellow-packaged rice. This long and thin rice tastes good and is not too expensive.

"Yes, this one weighs 30 kilograms."

"Okay, we want something else, let me take a look and pay together."

After the boss nodded, Fu Ying and Fu Zhe looked at the items separately. Fu Ying picked a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of chicken powder, a packet of salt, a packet of her mother's favorite chili powder, shower gel, shampoo, etc., and a large bag of other things.

In the end, I paid 150 yuan, and everything I bought was daily necessities. It turns out that even in my hometown, there are still expenses. No wonder the pressure in rural areas is getting greater and greater.

Mi You was held by the boss, and Fu Ying and Xiao Heitan each ate an ice cream, and then they carried the bag home together.
