60s Splendid Life

Lu Jin didn't know what happened in the school, and naturally he didn't know that his children were very popular in school recently.Lu Haochen, who is very popular, carries his schoolbag on his back and sings when he goes home every day. Lu Qinglian, who follows behind, just feels his nerves twitching, and doesn't want to admit to others that this smug fool is hers. dear brother.

At this time, there were no newspapers in the countryside, so Lu Jin could only get some outside information from the news broadcast on the radio, and obtained some useful information from these information, but the information analyzed was not so good.Judging from the news he received, he knew that that special historical period was approaching, so there wasn't much time left for him to prepare.

Now he has a sum of money in his hand, which may be a lot of money for many people, but it is far from the cost of a child's surgery.In addition to money, he also needs to prepare more food and supplies, because no one knows what will happen in the next ten years, he must make full preparations, now he is not alone, but also with three Child.

After returning to the countryside, Xiao Baoer went to school with his brothers and sisters every day, so he could also spare time to do his own things.

The first bazaar after the autumn harvest was very lively. There were more people selling things at stalls than before, and more people were selling their grain. There were also homemade cloth woven by the villagers themselves, and rice vinegar and wine brewed by themselves. Wait, there are so many things to see, and there are many people selling and buying things.

A street was bustling with people shouting and bargaining, as if returning to the bustling time when many people were doing business in the street market in the past.

Lu Jin and his aunt from the tofu shop came here to sell tofu. There were many people in the market, and their business was very good. No one stopped from the time the stall was set up until it was sold out. He also stayed here to help .

Some regular customers came over to buy things when they saw them here, and said: "You are finally here, I haven't seen you a few times before."

"The village in Qiantou is busy with the autumn harvest, so we don't have time to come here... What do you want to buy?" Cai Chunmei asked with a smile.

"Here's fifty cents worth of stewed tofu, and four pieces of soft tofu. Give me a little more water for the stewed tofu."

"Okay, okay, Xiaojin will give you ten pieces of stewed tofu."

Hearing that someone wanted dried bean curd, Lu Jin took out a plastic bag, put ten pieces of dried bean curd in it, and scooped up two tablespoons of water. Cai Chunmei on the other side took the bag and filled some tender tofu for someone.

Now that they have plastic bags, it is much more convenient for them to sell things than wrapping them in leaves before. The water they cook in stewed dried beans is very fragrant when cooked together. Many customers like to ask them to give them more water. When the dried tofu is sold out, the water in the pot will also be scooped up.

The guest took the two bags, paid and left.

There are also some customers who like their cold bean curd sticks. They buy them in big bags and eat them with the family when they buy them.

Probably because they ate the cold bean curd sticks they made. Some old customers also like to buy fresh bean curd sticks from them and make them by themselves. Lu Jin also taught these old customers a few recipes for making bean curd sticks, so their bean curd sticks are still selling well now Yes, there are many people who come to buy bean curd sticks.

Because there were so many people who came to buy things, their stalls were sold out before noon.

A while ago, two people came to sell things, and this day Aunt Qin came with them. If there were still two people to sell things, they would definitely be overwhelmed by so many people coming to buy things. Fortunately, there is one more person. As for being busy.

"I'm here to look at things, what do you want to buy, go around and have a look." Seeing that the stalls were almost sold out, Cai Chunmei was not in a hurry to buy things, so she asked Aunt Qin and Lu Jin to look first.

Generally, when they come here to go to the market, they will also buy some things to go back. Those who did not come sometimes ask them to help with shopping.

"Okay, let's go and have a look. I'll come back later and replace you." Aunt Qin didn't evade, just because she wanted to go shopping, so she left with Lu Jin.

On the way, Lu Jin said that he wanted to go to the other side to have a look, so he separated from Aunt Qin, and went to find the old man who had bought the jar twice before, and asked someone to take the jar to him in an alley where no one was around, and told him again Order a batch of jars.

"Okay, I will definitely bring it to you in two days." Old man Zhao has been selling jars here in Lijia'ao for more than two years. In the past, it was good enough to sell a few jars at a time when a cart was pulled over. Now that he has a regular customer, he makes hundreds of purchases every time he comes, and this time he ordered [-] jars, which is enough for him to buy for a year.

The two agreed on the time for the next delivery, Lu Jin paid the deposit, and the old man left with the empty cart.

After the person left, he put the jar into the space.

There were a lot of people selling grain in the market that day, but he didn't go to buy food from others. It was cheaper to buy food in the countryside than to find someone to buy it in the market.

He saw someone selling wine and vinegar, but he didn't buy the wine, but bought a jar of vinegar.

He didn't buy wine because he can make wine himself, but vinegar takes a long time to brew, so he tasted the vinegar and it was good, so he just bought some first.

He brought a batch of goods with him. The food in the countryside may not be so easy to sell, but daily necessities are in short supply. The goods he brought are easy to sell in the countryside.Country folk generally don't have tickets, so it's hard to get these things.And because he was doing business in the town, he had a ticket in his hand, so he took it to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.And Brother Hou can also help him get the goods, the price is only a little higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. When he sees the right one, he will sometimes get it from Brother Hou, and he can't just let others help him make money. , Sometimes he also wants to make some of his money for others, so that the business will last for a long time.

After staying in the market for such a long time, Lu Jin also met a few old acquaintances. Among them, a middle-aged man and a woman from the countryside were the ones who had been with him a lot. The kind of person you can't find in a crowd.

Although they have done business a few times, they don't know too much information about each other. When they meet here, they will exchange a few things. He feels more at ease doing business with such a person.

When the market was over, they packed up their things and went home.

Now, in order to be able to listen to the radio, Lu Haochen actively writes his homework every day when he comes home from school, so that he can have more time to listen to the radio at night.Lu Jin knew that the three children in the family were addicted to listening to the radio recently. Of course, he had to check the homework, and if he failed, he would type it back and rewrite it.

On this day, the old man had just started talking about Journey to the West, and the radio stopped ringing.

"Brother, the radio stopped working, is it broken?" The three children didn't hear the sound from the radio, so Lu Haochen took the radio and asked his brother.

The other two children also looked at him eagerly.

Lu Jin took the radio, pressed it a few times, but there was no response, and told the children: "It should be that the battery is exhausted, and I can't hear it anymore. You can listen to it next time I go to buy batteries and come back." Open the cover, put the I took out the battery, and squeezed it in. It seems that there should be no battery.

"Ah, it's useless." Lu Haochen opened his mouth wide, disappointed.

Little Bao'er's eyes were also fixed on the radio in his brother's hand, and the radio stopped working...

Only Lu Qinglian heard that the radio needed batteries, and the batteries had to be bought, so she asked, "Brother, are the batteries expensive?"

"I don't know about it, and I haven't bought it before." Lu Jin really didn't know about it. When the radio was brought back, it was with batteries. At that time, he also forgot to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy a few pairs of batteries. Back to spare.

However, Lu Qinglian remembered that listening to the radio requires batteries, and the batteries cost money to buy. Therefore, every time the two younger brothers want to listen to the radio, she will control the time and only let the two brothers listen to the radio. The two younger brothers listened to it for a while, and did not listen to the two younger brothers for the rest of the time.

Because there was no radio to listen to this night, they lay down on the kang early to sleep.

"Brother, when can you buy the battery back?" Lu Haochen was still thinking about his Journey to the West, and he couldn't sleep without hearing about Journey to the West.

Little Bao'er was also lying in his brother's arms, looking up at his brother with his little head up.

"This... I'll see if my brother has time some other day, and I'll go to the town to buy it for you." Lu Jin hugged the soft child in his arms, and slowly stroked the child's back with his hands, wanting to say that he spoils the child. If... Well, he admits that he is also a bit of a child spoiler.

Seeing that the two kids who were obsessed with Journey to the West refused to sleep until they heard Journey to the West, he could only ask, "What did you hear last time?"

"We heard..." Lu Haochen told his brother what they heard about Journey to the West yesterday.

Lu Jin recalled it in his mind, and then told the two children about Journey to the West.

"Ah, brother, you can also tell Journey to the West?" The kid Lu Haochen opened his mouth wide again, and looked at his brother in disbelief.

"Do you want to listen? If you want to listen, shut up quickly." Being interrupted like this, for a while he forgot where he was going to talk.

"Slap!" Little Bao'er slapped the little brother on the head, telling the little brother not to disturb him listening to the big brother's talk about Journey to the West.Lu Jin grabbed the child's beating hand, told the child not to beat his brother, and then told them the story behind.

"Brother, why hasn't the goblin been killed yet?"

"Ask again, ask again and I won't tell you!"

The voice behind the question stopped.

The two children slowly fell asleep to the sound of his stories, and it wasn't until he heard the two children breathing evenly that Lu Jin moved the little guy lying in his arms, and pulled the quilt over to the two children. Covering his belly, he got up and went out.
