The Qingshan Brigade hurried and finally completed the spring planting task in early April of the lunar calendar. Liu Jianguo, as the production team leader, went to the county to report for work.

    In the next few days of free time, the female educated youth discussed taking the production captain's donkey cart to the county.

    Liu Aiying ran to ask, and Liu Jianguo agreed to let them wait at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

    Lin Wenqing came up before leaving, saying that he was going to the county for a walk.

    The donkey cart was much slower than the tractor, and the wooden trolley was wobbly and bumpy on the dirt road.

    When they arrived in Lan County, several female educated youths climbed out of the car and almost vomited on the side of the road, causing Lin Wenqing to ridicule.

    Several people and Liu Jianguo agreed on a place and time to meet when they went back. The female educated youth planned to go to the post office first and then to the supply and marketing cooperative.

    Lin Wenqing did not go with them and left alone to do his own business.

    Lanxian County is not big, two streets cross in a cross shape, and the post office is on a road beside the intersection.

    In the morning, there were not many people entering and leaving the post office, most of them were educated youth and family members of some cadres and soldiers.

    Jiang Qiuyue went in with the other two and bought a suitable stamp at the window, and then handed in the package and address to be mailed.

    Liu Aiying packed and sent home the cotton-padded clothes that she did not wear in winter and some old clothes that could not be worn at all, so as to subsidize her brothers and sisters at home.

    What Li Yonghong sent back were food stamps and cloth stamps, which she instigated from between her teeth. She counted them carefully several times before giving them to the mailman to put them in an envelope.

    Jiang Qiuyue just packed the canvas schoolbag that she had made for her twin cheap brothers in a furoshiki and sent it back.

    The mailman was very efficient, nothing compared to the dawdling attitude of modern times.

    Within ten minutes, the three of them left with satisfaction and turned to the supply and marketing cooperative on the other street.

    The facade of the supply and marketing cooperative is much more stylish than that of the post office. There are five characters on the front of the door, "Serve the people", and a sign next to the door with the slogan "Developing the economy and ensuring supply".

    However, after entering, I found that although the area is large, there is only one long counter, which looks a bit like a modern canteen.

    After entering, the ground is covered with green bricks and cleaned.

    The wooden counter was crowded with people and it was lively.

    Liu Aiying grabbed Jiang Qiuyue's hand and squeezed in, Li Yonghong followed closely, and the three squeezed to the counter.

    Someone next to me asked if it was really Leeds cotton, brown sugar, or something like that, but the salesman liked to ignore it, and the abacus in his hand crackled.

    Jiang Qiuyue glanced at the shelves behind the salesperson girl. There were many shelves, but most of them were empty. There were some daily necessities such as towels, handkerchiefs, enamel bowls and jars, and non-staple groceries in the center. cloth.
