MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 35 county line

When I heard that my mother was going to the movies, Ruirui clearly wanted to go together.

The main reason is that the two children are too young. It takes more than half an hour for adults to walk from the family area to the county. Their footsteps must be slower, and more importantly, their endurance is not enough. hug. Lin Wei can't take care of her two children alone, but she feels embarrassed to ask her to trouble others to help.

After all, they were out to play, and they couldn't relax with their children.

After thinking about it, Lin Wei decided not to take them, but she also promised that if Zong Shao is okay next weekend, the whole family will go to the movies together.

Although Zong Shao had one day off a week in theory, and he would take a few more days off when he returned from the sea, if something happened in the camp, even if he was resting, he would return to the camp to handle urgent matters.

Therefore, in front of the children, Lin Wei did not dare to speak too much.

But the two children didn't think much about it, and they were happy to know that they could go to the movies next week.

In fact, they don't like watching movies much. There aren't many cartoons released these days. The main theme of the movie is basically good for adults, but it's a bit boring for them, mainly because they can't understand it.

They want to go to the movies, mainly to join in the fun.

The former cotton spinning factory with the army also played an open-air movie. It can be said that the whole compound was dispatched that night, and some people made snacks and bought the screening venue for sale.

Although doing business is strictly prohibited these days, or you will be caught as speculation, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach. If you don’t buy low and sell high, and frequently engage in business activities, no one will arrest you.

Moreover, in recent years, the management has been a little looser, and in some places, markets have been reopened, allowing farmers to sell the extra rice, noodles and grains at home and exchange for some industrial products for food, so as to improve their lives a little.

Therefore, they sell snacks once in a while, and no one cares.

There is food, drink, and many friends of the same age. The brothers were crazy that night, and they can't forget it until now, so they are happy to be able to go to the movies.

However, Lin Wei felt that when they actually went to the cinema, the brothers would probably be disappointed.

Most of the people who go to the cinema to watch a movie are adults. They don't make a lot of noise like children, and if someone makes a noise during the movie, someone will stop it.

Audiences who spend money will naturally have higher requirements for the viewing environment.

So when the brothers arrived at the movie theater, not only did they have no imaginary children of the same age, but they couldn't run around in the theater. Snacks are edible. Although they are not sold in the cinema, they can bring food in.

But no matter what, for children, going to the cinema is definitely not as fun as watching a movie in the family compound.

But Lin Wei didn't plan to vaccinate the brothers first. After all, there are some things that the old mother said, it's not as good as they experienced it themselves.

Because I didn't know, when I sent my mother out, I was clearly looking forward to my trip to the cinema next week, so I said to Lin Wei, "Mom, watch it with your aunts first, and then watch it with us when you're done. "

Obviously, these words were carefully hidden, and they were meant to remind mother not to forget about the son at home because of watching movies with aunts and aunts.

Lin Wei is a real mother, so how can she not see her son's prudence, she held back a smile and said, "Don't worry, my mother will definitely take you and your brother to the movies."

After packing the ticket for her son, Lin Wei put on her hat and set off with her bag.

Said to be a bag, in fact, it is a cloth bag for holding things. It is carried on one shoulder. The style is not unusual, but the two straps are sewn so tightly that it can hold more than ten kilograms of things. Lin Wei used it to hold fruits before.

Originally, Lin Wei didn't want to go out with a backpack, but she felt it was too big. Anyway, she had pockets on her skirt, and she also had a wallet that could be hung on her wrist, making it more convenient to carry it.

But before going out, Lin Wei changed her mind again, mainly thinking that if she came across delicious food while visiting the supply and marketing agency, she would also have a bag when she bought it.

After going out, Lin Wei first went to Zhou's house to call Deng Xiangyun and Chen Bamei.

The two of them had already packed up, and when they saw Lin Wei coming, they came out of the house and walked outside along the road at the door.

Walking to the door of the family area, Lin Wei saw the three of Liu Dan from a distance, walked over and asked, "How long have you been waiting here?"

"She came earlier, and we were two minutes earlier than you." Liu Dan pointed to Zhao Li and said.

Zhao Li said with a smile, "I mainly had something to do with the supply and marketing agency, so I came here early." After she came out of the supply and marketing agency, she was too lazy to go home, so she waited at the door of the family area. It didn't take long, maybe ten minutes. .

After the greeting, several people walked outside the family area.

Going out is a straight road. Both sides of the road are full of red brick and tile houses. The supply and marketing cooperatives and seafood supply stations are all here. Passing through the red brick house, the scenery on both sides becomes desolate, the roadside is full of weeds, and the weeds used to be dense forests.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, there was a crossroad in front of everyone. To the left was the fishing brigade, which was the way to catch the sea, and to the right was the military camp and the military hospital.

They kept going straight.

There are about four or five miles from the family area to the county, which is not too far. It will be boring to walk alone, but when there are many people talking and laughing, time will pass quickly.

The county town was still the same as when Lin Wei came back. There were a lot of people on the road, but it wasn't very lively.

However, the cinema is much better, with new movies rarely released, and there are long queues at the ticket windows. Lin Wei and a few people went to line up, Zhao Li went to the front to take a look, and came back and said, "The next game starts at 11 o'clock, and it will be put after 1 o'clock. Do you want to watch it?"

"Is there no other show?" Lin Wei asked.

Zhao Li recalled what was written on the notice board and said, "There are four shows today. The first show starts at nine o'clock and ends at 10:40. The movie is already halfway through, and we can't see much when we go in now. The game starts at 1:30 in the afternoon, and it will be played after 3:00, and the last game will be played at 3:30 and 5:00."

As soon as Liu Dan heard it, he said: "The last game is definitely not good. It's too late to watch it, we have to go back."

"If we look at the next game, is there any food available at Yidianduo state-run restaurant?" Yang Yi asked.

There is a state-run restaurant in Yaxian County, which starts serving limited dishes every day at 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm. Although the county seat is not big, it is still in the city, and there are quite a few people willing to spend money to eat out. On weekdays, it’s okay, and on Sundays, the dishes are almost gone.

Lin Wei said: "Why don't we watch the show at 1:30, and after buying the tickets, we will go to the supply and marketing agency and the hardware supply department to have a look, buy everything, and if there is time after the purchase, we will go shopping again, at 12 o'clock How about going to dinner and watching a movie after eating?"

It was rare to come out to play, but Zhao Li didn't want to go back hungry, so she quickly agreed, "I'll see."

With the two of them picking the lead, the others agreed to Lin Wei's proposal and bought movie tickets for 1:30 in the afternoon.

Because the queue was a bit long, it took about 20 minutes to buy tickets, and by the time a few people came out of the cinema, the time was approaching 10:30. Zhao Li counted the time and said with a smile, "Just now we discussed where to go after buying things, but now I think about it a bit too much. After buying things, you don't need to go any further. Just go to the state-run restaurant and line up."

The process of buying materials was smooth. The supply and marketing agency has all kinds of fabrics, just pick them.

That is, they only make hats and don't need much fabric. They have to trouble the salesperson to cut them into small pieces. The other party's attitude is a little impatient.

After Zhao Li went to the island with the army, she was assigned to work in the base supply and marketing agency. She was also a salesperson. She liked this job very much, and she always remembered that she wanted to serve the people. After taking up her job, she greeted every customer with a smile.

Therefore, from entering the supply and marketing cooperative, walking to the fabric counter, and seeing the other party seeing the customer, sitting on the stool, posing a look of ignorance, Zhao Li's face was not very good.

Hearing the murmur of the salesperson again, Zhao Li couldn't help it and asked loudly, "Who do you say is more bullshit?"

The sales clerk was also very temperamental, and the customer didn't feel embarrassed when he muttered to him.

Zhao Li slapped the counter angrily: "What's your attitude?"

As a result, people were even more horrified. They raised their fingers and pointed at Zhao Li and asked, "What are you shooting for? What are you shooting for? Didn't you see it was made of glass? You can't afford to sell it if you break it! Playing with me, this is my attitude, if you like to buy it or not, if you don’t buy it, I will pay it back!”

Zhao Li withdrew her hand, but she held her breath and asked loudly, "You treat customers like this, do you believe in the old shígG Dujia or not, and I complain to you?"

The salesperson glanced at Zhao Li disdainfully, and said, "You go to complain, when I'm afraid of you?"

This year's work is an iron job, and if I don't make a big mistake, I usually won't be fired. For supply and marketing cooperatives, it is obviously not a big mistake to offend customers. Anyway, this is the only supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

Besides, even if the business is not good and the supply and marketing cooperative loses money every year, there will be a bottom line, and the wages of the employees below will still be paid, but it will be easier.

complaint? She's really not afraid.

Zhao Li said she wanted to complain, that is, to scare the other party, but she didn't frighten her, but she got even more angry, nodded and said, "Okay, you're not afraid to complain, you..."

But before she could finish speaking, Lin Wei held her wrist. She stopped her voice and turned to look.

Lin Wei stepped forward to the counter and asked, "Comrade, do you know the characters?"

Although Lin Wei's tone was calm, the salesperson didn't answer when she saw that she was with Zhao Li. She just rolled her eyes and asked, "What's the matter with you if I don't know how to read?"

Lin Wei is not angry, her tone is still calm: "I should know, it is said that the supply and marketing cooperative has educational requirements."

These words entered the salesperson's heart, and she raised her chest and raised her face proudly and said, "That's not true, I am a supply and marketing cooperative that passed the recruitment examination after graduating from junior high school."

There are not many people with a junior high school education these days, especially women. It's not that women can't study, but the environment favors boys over girls. If there is an opportunity to go to school, most families will give priority to boys. Chen Bamei's family is a typical example. All seven daughters are illiterate, but the son wants to study, and the daughter has to pay for it.

It's normal for salespeople to be proud of their education.

But what Lin Wei wanted to say was not her education. She didn't compliment her. She just pointed to the opposite wall and asked, "Do you know what is written on it?"

The salesperson looked in the direction Lin Wei pointed: "Serve the people, you don't even know such a simple word?"

"Yeah, serve the people," Lin Wei nodded and asked the salesman, "Do you think you have done it?"

Lin Wei's tone was not heavy, and it could even be regarded as a gentle drizzle, but the salesperson was speechless when asked, and her face turned blue and white.

Zhao Li didn't understand why Lin Wei stopped her before, she suddenly realized when she heard this, she applauded vigorously and said, "There are some people who talk about serving the people every day, but they really come to the people, not to mention serving, more I'm not happy to give a good face. Thanks to her reading for so many years, what she has learned has gone into the belly of a dog. "

The salesperson was originally a little guilty, but when Zhao Li said these words, her anger rose.

But she didn't say anything, so she asked her in a soft voice if she was a woman who could serve the people: "Okay, don't say a few words." Then she turned to her, "Sorry, my friend has a dry temper. Could you continue to help us cut the fabric, please? We still have something to do, so we're in a hurry."

The other party was so kind that the salesman had to swallow the swearing words and said dryly, "Wait a minute."

This time, I didn't murmur any more, I quickly divided the cloth, wrapped it up and handed it to a few people.

Although the matter was settled satisfactorily and they bought the fabric, Zhao Li was still not very happy when they went out and said, "This is still a supply and marketing agency in the city, and the salesperson's service attitude is not half as good as mine."

Lin Wei laughed and joked: "That's right, Comrade Zhao Li is a model employee of the base supply and marketing cooperative."

Liu Dan also joked: "Yes, I'm glad now, fortunately, our base supply and marketing agency has a model employee like Comrade Zhao Li, otherwise I would have the same attitude as that person just now, and I don't even know that I went to the supply and marketing agency to buy it. Things are still **** off."

Zhao Li was held in high spirits, and her mood finally brightened.

…

Although there was an interlude when buying fabrics, the next thing went smoothly. The hardware supply department just bought a new batch of iron wires, the thinnest of which can be used as hats.

The problem is that the iron wires are all bundled and not retailed. Although there are not many bundles, only five meters, but they only make hats, so there is no need to buy so many.

When a few people were discussing, Deng Xiangyun said: "Just buy a bundle. You can use as much as you need. Give me the rest, and I will keep it for use."

"Why do you want so much iron wire?" Liu Dan asked, afraid that Deng Xiangyun would waste money in vain in order to take care of them.

"It may be used for making hats or making toys." Deng Xiangyun took out the money and the ticket and handed it to the salesman in the supply department, and said to several people, "I bought it and we will do the calculation when we go back."

After buying all the materials and seeing that it was almost time, a few people went to the state-run restaurant to line up.

Luckily, they came across a state-run restaurant supplying coconut chicken. They have chicken supply every month, but the portion is not large. The whole family supplies it together, plus some mushrooms and potatoes, and they only have two meals.

However, the island is rich in fishery resources and there is a large supply of seafood, and they can occasionally go to the sea for extra meals, so they don't lock up on the meat, and after a little discussion, they get a coconut chicken.

Coconut chicken is actually chicken soup stewed with coconut. The coconut milk is fragrant, the soup color is refreshing, delicious and the portion is large. Therefore, after ordering the coconut chicken, they only ordered a plate of braised tofu, and one person ordered a bowl of noodles.

Noodles are eaten in the north, and noodles are eaten in the south. There are many ways to eat noodles on Yazhou Island. There are also many types of noodles in state-run restaurants. There are pickled noodles, soup noodles, and sour noodles.

Because there was coconut chicken, several people ordered pickled noodles, among which Liu Dan, Zhao Li and Yang Yi had sour noodles, while Lin Wei, Deng Xiangyun and Chen Bamei had pickled noodles. However, Zhao Li gave Lin Wei two mouthfuls of sour powder, which tasted good, sour, spicy, salty, and very appetizing.

Liu Dan is from Sichuan Province and loves spicy food. Lin Wei noticed that she added a lot of hot sauce made of bell peppers to her noodles, so she also tasted the chopsticks.

After eating, Lin Wei quickly poured herself a bowl of chicken soup, but she just drank it and put it down without swallowing it. It was Deng Xiangyun who was quick-witted, and poured her a cup of cold tea before he recovered.

Seeing that Lin Wei was so embarrassed, Zhao Li laughed bluntly and asked again, "Aren't all of you Hushen people who can eat spicy food? I think you can't do it?"

Lin Wei wanted to retort that you people from Liao Province still have big gold chains, why didn't I see you wearing them?

But when the words came to her lips, she remembered, oh yes, it's the 1970s, people in Liao Province still can't have a big gold chain, at most everyone wears a mink.
