How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 346: Going to the fair and meeting old classmates

Seeing this situation, Li Le could only say helplessly: "Okay, let's all go."

Li Qingcheng and her friends didn't bring anything with them, so they just took a few bottles of mineral water and put them in the car.

Li Le started the car and drove north along the road next to the landlord, because the village committee was on the north side and not far away.

A distance of five or six hundred meters only takes a few minutes to drive, and on the highway, it takes less than a minute.

The village committee does not belong to any village. It is built on an open space with a large yard.

This is not only the location of the village committee, but also the police station. Yes, it is the police station under the police station.

Li Le went straight to the branch secretary Shi Junhong, handed him the certificate issued by Shu Min and said, "Cousin, please stamp it for me."

That’s right, the branch secretary is somewhat related to Li Le’s family. Li Le has the same great-grandfather as his cousin, and is a close cousin of his.

Although there is a big age gap between the two people, cousins ​​are cousins ​​and there is no way to change that.

Seeing that it was Li Le, Shi Junhong did not look at the certificate, but asked: "When did you come back?"

"yesterday."

"Are you coming back to celebrate the festival?" Shi Junhong asked.

"Ok!"

"Not bad, not bad!" Shi Junhong nodded, then picked up the certificate and started reading it.

After reading it, he frowned and asked, "Why did you buy this place?"

Shi Junhong is a cousin of his family, and he often goes to their village, but he goes there several times a year, so of course he knows the situation in Xitang.

The most important thing is that the place where people drowned this year was their village, so when they saw that Li Le was buying Xitang, plus the wasteland in it, they became very conflicted.

"Cousin, I know what you're thinking, but I'm not going to build a fish pond. As for what I'm going to do, you'll know later."

Hearing what Li Le said, Shi Junhong smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions, but you're really good! How long have you been working? You've already made so much money."

Because it was clearly written on the certificate that Li Le would spend more than 400,000 to buy this place.

Although it is permanent, it is a completely useless place. I guess in a few years, the land in the middle will be gone.

By then, only one pond will be left.

Raising fish may be a good business in other places, but here, raising fish means losing money.

Because there is abundant water in their area, even the county town is called an ecological water city.

There is a lake as big as theirs. There are more than 20 villages in the entire village committee, and there are at least 40 to 50 of them.

As for those small fish ponds, they can be said to be everywhere, and there are four in their village.

It’s just not next to the village, it’s more than a mile away from the village.

And it's on the highway. Yes, there is a highway to the northeast of Li Le's village, the Daguan Expressway.

When the expressway was built, a lot of soil was dug up! After the expressway was built, the village had four fish ponds with an area of ​​20 to 30 mu.

And this is just their village. You should know that the Daguan Expressway goes directly through their entire village committee.

The land of eleven villages in the entire village committee was occupied.

But this only adds a few fish ponds, as they already have many fish ponds here.

In Xitang in their village, which is the place Li Le is going to buy now, no one has contracted to raise fish.

The main reason is that it is too close to the village, so it is more likely to get into accidents.

Since no one was willing to take the contract, the village chief Shumin took it over symbolically. The price was ten yuan per person in the village, and each family was given two fish each time they caught fish.

But he had been contracting the business for several years and this was the first time he caught fish this year. And because someone drowned in Shizhuang, he gave up the contract and caught the fish.

In other words, if the book people do not withdraw and continue to contract the business, no one will say anything.

The cost of the contract was several thousand yuan, plus the promised two fish for each catch.

Don't forget, these are not two per person, but two per family.

Although there are more than 400 people in Gangnan Lizhuang, the number of households is not large, with only more than 70 households.

In the city, most families are of three, but in Li Le's place, a family of five or six is ​​very normal, and there are even families of more than ten.

Not to mention others, just Li Le’s family, not counting Li Le’s sister-in-law and Li Qingcheng, has seven people.

Shi Junhong quickly read it and then stamped it with the village committee's official seal.

Li Le took the certificate and looked at it, then handed Shi Junhong a cigarette and said, "Cousin, I still have to go to town, so I won't talk for now."

"Okay, go quickly! If nothing goes wrong, it might be done in the morning."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

After Li Le left, Shi Junhong looked at the cigarette in his hand and said, "Li Le is really rich. He smokes Da Zhonghua cigarettes."

Ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference between Soft Zhonghua and Greater China, but as a village committee secretary, he can still not tell the difference.

It's not like I haven't seen it before.

Li Le came into the car, put down the certificate, started the car and prepared to leave.

Li Qingcheng picked up the certificate, looked at it and said, "It's done so quickly?"

"Well! It's just a stamp, how can it not be fast?" Li Le said.

Li Qingcheng curled her lips and said, "This is only the case here. If it were in the imperial capital, it would be impossible to stamp your document without someone's connections and a few days' delay."

In fact, it is very easy to get things done in towns and villages, because basically everyone is related to each other, and the place is so small that you can get in touch with others in a roundabout way.

Li Le drove to the town, but instead of going directly to the secretary or the mayor, he went directly to the town party committee office.

Seeing the sign of Office Director hanging on the door, Li Le went up and knocked on it.

"Enter!"

Li Le pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the office.

When Li Le came in, the middle-aged man looked up and asked in surprise: "You...you are Li Le?"

"That's right, Uncle Hongwei, it's me."

That’s right, the reason why Li Le came here directly was because he knew the office director!

The office director is Li Hongwei, who is of the same generation as Li Le’s father. If you want to know how close they are, they are already beyond the fifth degree of mourning.

But no matter what, we have the same ancestor, and we burn paper for him together during festivals.

Their family has not lived in the village for a long time. At least, there was no family in the village when Li Le was a child, so they must have moved away.

I moved to the town, but I still go back to the village to burn paper during the festivals.

Li Le didn’t know about burning paper during festivals because he had never been there, but the whole family would go out to burn paper during the Chinese New Year.

Li Le had seen him many times, so he knew him.

In fact, not only during festivals, but also if there is a wedding or funeral in the village, Li Hongwei will go back to give gifts.

"What are you doing here, kid?" Li Hongwei stood up and asked from behind the desk.

Li Le took out a cigarette and handed it to him, saying, "Uncle Hongwei, I really have something to talk to you about."

"Oh!" Li Hongwei took the cigarette, pulled Li Le to sit down and asked, "Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Le took out the certificate issued by the village, handed it to Li Hongwei and said, "I want to buy Xitang in our village. This is the certificate issued by the village."

Li Hongwei certainly knew about the situation in Xitang in the village. After all, he was also a villager. Although he had moved to the town now, his household registration was still in the village.

When he was young, each family still cultivated a small piece of land in the pond, but it became abandoned after the bridge behind it collapsed.

However, the nature of the land is private plot, belonging to all the villagers, and is not state land.

But this thing is like a residential plot. If you buy it, you need to apply for a land certificate.

Then from the day you buy it, this place is yours, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.

"Why are you buying this? If you want to build a house, why don't we just grant you a piece of land?"

Li Le didn't expect that Li Hongwei could see through his intention, but it didn't matter.

"Uncle Hongwei, I want to build a house like a manor, and also plan to build a bridge, and finally enclose the entire Xitang."

Hearing what Li Le said, Li Hongwei frowned and said, "This project is not small! It will cost a lot of money. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

"Okay! Wait here for me. I'll go get the secretary to sign and I'll stamp it for you later."

"Huh!" Li Le was stunned.

Shouldn't we ask the secretary to stamp the document? Why did the director of the Party Committee Office stamp it?

To be honest, Li Le really doesn’t know.

In fact, this is very normal. The Party Committee Office represents the town, and the secretary does not have an official seal. The official seal is in the Party Committee Office.

Also, although Xitang has a total of 90 acres, the land area is now only about 25 acres.

For such a large area of ​​land, there is no need to go to the town to get a stamp, the village committee’s stamp will do.

The reason why Li Le found the town was that he also included the water area.

If the area exceeds 50 mu, approval must be obtained from the town; if the area exceeds 200 mu, approval must be obtained from the county.

If it exceeds 500 acres, it must be approved by the city.

Li Le's land, including the water area, is definitely more than fifty acres, so he came to the town.

"Okay, Uncle Hongwei."

Li Hongwei took Li Le's certificate and went out. About ten minutes later, he returned to the office.

"How is it, Uncle Hongwei, was it approved?" Li Le asked hurriedly.

"Of course it's approved. This is your private plot of land. As long as the villagers have no objection, there will be no problem."

"That's good." Li Le breathed a sigh of relief.

"You bought this from a villager, so there is no problem at all. I will stamp it for you right away."

"Thank you, Uncle Hongwei."

"Why are you thanking me? Don't forget, I'm also one of the villagers. If you buy it, I can get a few thousand dollars!"

"Uh!" Li Le touched his nose.

It is true. Although Li Hongwei has moved to the town now, his household registration is still in the village.

Not only him, but also his wife and children are registered in the village, so it is not wrong to say that they can get a few thousand yuan.

Li Le, holding the stamp of the Party Committee, did not even need to go out, but went directly to the Land Management Office, which is the town land management office.

Li Le knocked on the door of the director's office.

"Come in!"

Li Le pushed open the door and saw the person inside. He called out, "Uncle."

"Li Le, why is it you?"

Yes, the director of the Land Management Bureau is the husband of Li Hongyan, an aunt in the family.

Moreover, this aunt is much closer to Li Hongwei than he is, as she and his father have the same great-grandfather.

At present, we are still within the fifth server, which is considered to be relatively close.

"By the way, are you back to celebrate the festival?" asked my uncle Liu Quanxi.

"Ok!"

"That's right, how about this! Don't go back to the village at noon. Let's go home and ask your aunt to cook some dishes, and we can have a few drinks."

"No, you're still at work! I can't let you make a mistake."

"You kid, why don't I just take a leave in the afternoon?"

In rural areas, especially in Li Le’s hometown, being an uncle will get you scolded.

Of course, the uncle is an exception, but who can have several nephews? Basically, they are all distant nephews.

There are many people of the same generation as Li Le, so this uncle Liu Quanxi has been scolded a lot in the village.

Of course, they were all joking insults, but there was an exception, and that was Li Le.

Li Le never scolded anyone, not just Liu Quanxi, but any uncle-like person who came to the village.

Therefore, these uncles have a very good impression of Li Le and are very close to him, especially those who are closer.

"Uncle, forget it today. I came to see you today for something, and I have other things to do. How about this, I'll treat you to dinner another day when I have time."

"You little brat, I asked you to treat me to a meal when I came to town. Aren't you slapping me in the face? If your aunt knew about this, she would definitely punish me."

"Uh!"

Li Le was speechless. Being afraid of one's wife was a good tradition among the sons-in-law of the Li family, and it was not just Liu Quanxi.

"By the way, you just said you had something to talk to me about. What is it?" Liu Quanxi asked.

"Look at this." Li Le handed over the certificate.

Liu Quanxi took it and took a look at it, then put the certificate down and said, "You are applying for a land certificate, right?"

"Yes!" Li Le nodded.

"Hey! I thought it was something else! This is easy. I'll have someone do it for you right now."

After saying that, he went over, picked up the phone, and made a call.

Soon a staff member from the Land Management Bureau came to the office.

"Director, you are looking for me."

Liu Quanxi handed him the certificate and said, "You should get the land certificate. This is his private plot of land, and the land is permanent."

"Okay, Director. I'll do it right away."

"Well! Go ahead! Send it over when you're done."

"Yes."

After the land management office employee left, Liu Quanxi quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Li Le and said, "Come, have a cigarette."

Li Le was stunned for a moment, then quickly took it. He seemed to have forgotten to take out his cigarette just now.

The main reason is that he doesn't smoke much, so he always forgets to get cigarettes for people.

"How many days do you plan to stay this time?" Liu Quanxi asked.

"Three or four days!"

"Yeah, that's how it is when you work outside. It's not easy to take time off."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded.

Liu Quanxi lit up his cigarette, took a puff and said, "How's it going? Is work going well?"

"pretty good."

Liu Quanxi nodded and said, "That's good. Although it's not easy to work outside, you can earn a lot."

"It's not bad! It's better than back home."

"Alas!" Liu Quanxi sighed and said, "They all ran away. Your cousin is the same. He went to Shanghai after graduation and only came back once a year during the Chinese New Year."

"Uh!"

How should he respond to this? To be honest, if he hadn't obtained the time-travel system, he would be the same and could only come back during the Chinese New Year.

Uncle Liu Quanxi and Aunt Li Hongyan have two children, a boy and a girl. The older one is a boy, the cousin he just mentioned.

He is a few years older than Li Le, and is 25 years old this year. He has a younger brother, a girl, who is still in high school.

"Uncle, there's nothing I can do about it. It's not that I don't want to come back, but I can't take a leave. I just finished a project, and the company granted me a few days off. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come back."

Hearing Li Le say this, Liu Quanxi felt a little better and said, "I know this too, so I want him to come back to work. No matter how much he earns, at least he's by my side."

In fact, with Liu Quanxi's connections and abilities, it should not be a problem for him to get a job for his child. Even if he can't get a civil servant position, it should be easy for him to get a job in a public institution.

After a few years, there will be no problem in becoming a civil servant.

To be honest, when Li Le just graduated, he thought about coming back to take the civil service exam, but then he thought about it and gave up.

Although civil servants are well paid, they are tied to one place for their entire lives, so it is better to just go to work.

You can go wherever you want, and if you don’t want to work anymore, you can take a break for a while.

"Uncle, you are wrong to think like that. My husband is still young now, so he should go out and have some fun. When he doesn't want to stay out anymore, it won't be that easy for you to arrange a job for him when he comes back."

Hearing what Li Le said, Liu Quanxi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true. We don't understand what you young people think either."

The two chatted for a while, and then the staff member came over, handed a land certificate to Liu Quanxi and said, "Director, it's done."

"Yeah! Thank you for your hard work."

"It should be, it's not hard."

"Okay, go and do your work."

"Good director."

After the employee left, Liu Quanxi handed the land certificate to Li Le and said, "Here you go, check if there is any problem."

Li Le took it and took a look, and found that the land use period was filled in as "permanent".

If you build a house next time, you can just apply for a real estate certificate then.

This piece of land and the pond will belong to Li Le from now on, and forever. As long as Li Le or his descendants don't sell it, it will be his forever.

Of course, money still has to be given.

"Uncle, I'm leaving now." Li Le stood up and said.

"Let's go now! Aren't you going to eat at home?"

"next time!"

"Okay, come over when you have time."

"Ok!"

Li Le came out of Liu Quanxi's office and left the town government. His car was parked outside.

It’s not that he can’t drive in, it’s mainly because his car is too conspicuous.

Ordinary people may not know what kind of car this is and just fool around, but the people here are not so easy to fool.

"Li Le, is everything done?" Ye Qi asked when Li Le returned to the car.

"Yes!" Li Le nodded and handed over the land certificate.

Ye Qi opened it, took a look and said, "It was done so quickly. It's really easy."

Is it easy? It is indeed easy, but if there is no one, it is estimated that it will take ten days or half a month to complete.

After reading it, Ye Qi handed the land certificate to Li Qingcheng, and then asked, "Xiao Le, where are we going now? Are we going home directly?"

"No! Now that you're out, you have to walk around the town! I haven't walked around the town in years." What Li Le said was right. It was only when he was in junior high school that Li Le spent more time in the town.

He hasn't been to the town since he entered high school. Even if he did, he was just passing by the county town.

"Me too." Ye Qi said.

"Let's go. I'll drive the car to the bridge head, find a place to stop, and then we can go shopping."

"Okay." Ye Qi said excitedly.

There is a river running through Li Le’s town, and there is also a large sluice gate.

Moreover, this sluice gate has been built for at least fifty or sixty years.

In the past, the electricity used in the town was generated by this place. But now, although the gate is still there, the power generation part has been abandoned.

The bridgehead that Li Le mentioned is a bridge not far from the gate.

There was no bridge here before, only a gate, and people and cars could pass through the gate.

But now it has fallen into disrepair and the road is too narrow, so a new bridge was built next to it.

The bridge is very wide, with four lanes in both directions and a non-motorized vehicle lane. The main purpose of this bridge is to lead from the county to the city.

The main street starts from the east end of the bridge and is about one kilometer long.

Of course, this refers to the main street, not that the street is that long. If the west side of the bridge and the easternmost end are counted, it is at least three kilometers long.

Drive the car to the bridge head. The road is very wide on both sides and many cars are parked here.

It is impossible to drive while shopping, and there are so many people on the street that it is impossible to drive, so many people who drive to the street to buy things will park their cars here.

"Let's go!" Li Le said after parking.

"Ok!"

A few people got off the car and saw crowds of people. Although the weather was very hot, there were still quite a few people buying things on the street.

Yes, it’s not the busy farming season now, so there’s nothing to do at home. People who need to buy or sell things will come to the town.

It just so happens that it’s a market day today, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people, or even no one at all.

Towns are not like cities. In cities, every day is the same, but in towns, it depends on whether there is a market day.

"Let's go to the supermarket first." Li Le said.

"Okay, let's see if there is anything we can buy and take back." Li Qingcheng said.

"Ok!"

There are many small supermarkets in the town, but there is only one big supermarket, which is not far from where Li Le parked his car.

It’s called Wanjia Supermarket, and it’s a chain store. There’s one in basically every town, including the county seat.

Li Le and the others separated when they arrived at Wanjia Supermarket. Li Qingcheng and the other three went to the food area, while Li Le went to the tobacco and alcohol area.

Yes, Li Le was going to buy some wine. Although Li Le brought back a lot of wine this time, it was only more than 200 bottles.

If you drink it every day, it’s not enough.

Also, in rural areas, it’s useless to have old wine, as people won’t recognize it at all. What people recognize is good wine, such as Moutai and Wuliangye.

Li Le went around the entire wine selling area but didn't see any Moutai. This made Li Le speechless. He didn't expect that the supermarket in the town didn't even have Moutai.

You have to know that this is the only big supermarket. There is no such thing here, let alone anywhere else.

Fortunately, Li Le saw Wuliangye and Jiannanchun, two types of liquor that Li Le recognized.

The alcohol and cigarettes were all inside the counter, so Li Le could only ask the salesperson: "Hello, how much is this Wuliangye?"

"One thousand and twenty-one bottles of fifty-two degrees."

"Two thousand and one?" Li Le frowned.

Because the price is much higher, under normal circumstances, the price of Wuliangye is around 1,100 yuan, or even cheaper.

Especially if you buy a whole box online, it’s less than one thousand per bottle.

“How much is the whole box?”

When the salesperson heard Li Le asking about the whole box, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Let me help you check it. Please wait a moment."

"Ok!"

In fact, Li Le doesn’t care whether it’s more expensive or cheaper, what he cares about is its authenticity.

But considering that this is a chain supermarket, they probably wouldn’t dare to sell fake products!
Soon the salesperson finished reading the list, came over and said, "Six thousand six for the whole box."

Li Le nodded and said, "Okay, but you can't give me a fake one."

"Don't worry, the wine we sell here is all genuine. Look what it says here: if it's fake, we'll compensate you tenfold."

"Okay, give me ten boxes."

"How much?" the salesperson asked stutteringly.

"Ten boxes! What's the matter?" Li Le asked.

"Sorry, we don't have that many here," said the salesperson.

Li Le frowned and asked, "How many are there?"

“There are only three full boxes.”

"Then give me three boxes. Is there any in Jiannanchun?"

The salesperson nodded quickly and said, "Jiannanchun has it."

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Then get another ten boxes of Jiannanchun."

"OK, just a second."

Soon the salesperson brought out the wine. Of course, she was not the only one carrying it, but several people worked together to carry it.

The price of Jiannanchun is not expensive, only two thousand six hundred yuan per box, which is cheaper than in the capital.

Li Le paid the money and asked, "Can you help me move it to the car?"

"Of course, wait a moment, I'll be right over."

Soon the salesperson called over three more people, and each of them pushed a trolley, the kind used in supermarkets.

The three salesmen quickly put the wine on the cart and followed Li Le out.

It was not far away and soon they arrived in front of Li Le’s car. Li Le opened the trunk and the salesperson helped to load the things into the car.

"Thank you!" Li Le thanked the salesperson.

"You're welcome."

After the salesperson left, Li Le closed the trunk and rushed to the supermarket.

He didn't buy anything this time, but Li Qingcheng and the others were still shopping in the supermarket.

"Li Le!"

Just as Li Le was passing by the door of a store, he heard someone calling him.

Li Le quickly turned his head and looked over. He immediately smiled and shouted, "Liu Fei, why are you here?"

Liu Fei, Li Le’s high school classmate, is two years older than Li Le. When he was in high school, his academic performance was pretty good, but unfortunately he did not get into university and only went to a junior college.

Normally, he would have graduated two years ago now.

In fact, when he was in high school, all the classmates were older than Li Le, at least one year older. There were even more students like Liu Fei who were two years older than Li Le.

"I say, you guy, we have been classmates for three years, and you don't even know that this is my home." Liu Fei said, pointing to the store behind him.

"Ah!" Li Le scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I really don't know this."

In fact, Liu Fei and Li Le went to the same junior high school and were in the same grade, but in different classes.

They didn't have much interaction in junior high school, but when they went to the county high school, they were assigned to the same class and became real classmates.

But Li Le really didn't know that Liu Fei was from the town. He only knew that Liu Fei was from the same town as him.

Li Le took a look at the store behind Liu Fei. It was a tobacco, alcohol and grocery store, which was also a small supermarket.

"Is this your store?" Li Le asked.

"Yes! This is also my home." Liu Fei pointed upstairs.

This is a three-story building with only two rooms. The downstairs is used for business and the upstairs is used for living.

In fact, the entire street is filled with this type of housing, with two rooms facing the street, unless there are two brothers, who have four rooms.

No wonder Liu Fei had a lot of pocket money when he was in high school. It turned out that his family ran a business in town.

"By the way, Li Le, don't you work in the capital? Why are you back at this time?"

"You're back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you helping out at home?" Li Le asked.

Liu Fei scratched his head and said, "Hey! What can I do for you? My dad gave me the store after I graduated from college."

"That's great! It can be considered as inheriting the family business."

Liu Fei punched Li Le and said, "Can you please stop teasing me? What kind of family business is this? To be honest, I also want to work in a big company like you, but unfortunately they don't want me."

Liu Fei only graduated from a junior college, so it is basically impossible for him to get a job in a big company.

But if he opened a small supermarket in the town, the income should be good! It could even be higher than what he earned in a big company.

"Come on! You are a small boss after all, and I am just an employee. Do you think the same as me?"

Liu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm serious. You don't know, since I took over this supermarket, the farthest place I've been to is the county town."

"Oh no?"

"Really? You don't know. Even though my place is small, there are a lot of things to do every day."

Li Le knew that doing business would tie people down, but he didn't expect it to be so tyrannical.

How is this different from him? He is also doing business now! But he does what he needs to do every day. As for the store, he goes there when he wants to and doesn't go there when he doesn't want to.

Li Le forgot that he was running a big business and the store had employed people, so it didn't matter whether he went or not.

But small shops like this in rural areas don’t hire anyone and are run by family members.

No matter what I do, I have to do it myself. How can I have time to go out?

As for why they don’t hire anyone, that’s a joke. How much money can a small supermarket like this make in a month? If they hire someone, it will be an additional expense and it’s not cost-effective at all.

"Yeah, nothing is easy now." Li Le nodded.

"By the way, leave me your cell phone number." Liu Fei said, taking out his cell phone.

"it is good!"

Thinking that the old number would soon be unused, Li Le gave the new phone number to Liu Fei.

"Sure! This phone number is not cheap, right?" Liu Fei asked in surprise when he saw Li Leliu's phone number.

"It's not much money either."

Just at this time, someone came to buy something, and Liu Fei said, "Let's not talk about it for now. We can talk about it later when we have time."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work!"

"Ok!"

It seems that it is not easy to open a shop in town. The money is not much, but it looks really busy!

When Li Le returned to the supermarket, Li Qingcheng and the others were checking out at the checkout counter. It was obvious that they had bought a lot of things.

A whole cart filled with all kinds of snacks.

Li Le walked over and asked, "Have you bought the mooncakes?"

"No." Li Qingcheng shook her head.

"What's the matter?" Li Le asked.

"There weren't any good mooncakes, and they were all very cheap, so I didn't buy any."

Li Le scratched his head, wondering what good mooncakes he could buy in town. Besides, mooncakes were just an indispensable food for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In fact, not many people go there to eat, so it's fine as long as there is something there. But since Li Qingcheng said no, then it's fine! At worst, I can go to the city later.

It is not far from the town to the city, only fourteen kilometers, and it will take at most half an hour to get there.

This is when there are many cars on the road and the car cannot drive fast. Otherwise, the time used will be even shorter.

"Okay, then let's not buy it. Let's go to the city to buy it later." Li Le said.

"Ah! Still going to the city?" Li Qingcheng asked.

"Yes! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you don't buy it today, you won't have time to buy it."

Li Qingcheng nodded and said, "Well, if I had known we were going to the city, I wouldn't have bought so many snacks."

Ye Qi said at this time: "Qingcheng, the snacks are all the same. You will get the same things when you go to the city."

Ye Qi was right. The snacks they bought were also sold in supermarkets in the city.

Only mooncakes, a food unique to the Mid-Autumn Festival, are priced differently in different places. It’s not that the supermarkets in the town don’t want to stock good quality food, but that they are not easy to sell.

This thing is only available for a few days. No one will buy it after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so just buy as much as you can.

"OK then!"

Several people carried their things back to the car, and Li Le started the car and drove towards the city.

It took Li Le 25 minutes to drive the 14 kilometers, mainly because there were many traffic lights when approaching the city.

In addition, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many people are returning from other places, so there are also a lot more cars on the road.

This can be seen from the license plates. There are a lot of out-of-town license plates, which are rarely seen normally.

Wanjia Supermarket is considered the largest supermarket in towns and villages, but not in the city. There are several supermarkets that are larger than Wanjia Supermarket.

For example, Xiyingmen and Bilehui.

Of course, the place Li Le wanted to go was Xiyingmen, because it was the first supermarket in the county and until now, it is still the largest supermarket in the county.

Li Le drove the car into the underground parking lot, and the four people entered the supermarket from the basement.

Yes, Xiyingmen Supermarket is on the underground floor and can be entered directly from the underground parking lot.

After entering the supermarket, the four of them went straight to the food area. Just as Ye Qi said, the snacks bought here were available in other supermarkets in town.

Li Le and his friends soon found the place where mooncakes were sold. As expected, the mooncakes here were much more high-end.

Whether it’s the packaging or the mooncakes inside, or even the price, they can’t be compared to the supermarkets in town.

Li Le picked the most expensive one, which was twelve yuan a box, totaling two hundred and fifty-six yuan, and he bought three boxes directly.

Three boxes were enough, because Li Le didn't have many relatives to visit. At home, besides his aunt's family, the only ones he had were his great aunt's family.

There was no one else there, such as Li Le’s eldest aunt and second aunt’s family. They were both out of town and only came back during the Chinese New Year.

The same goes for my family. They all live in the city, bought houses in the city, and work and do business in the city.

We also came back during the Chinese New Year. To be exact, my family has already settled down in the city.

There is no difference if the household registration is moved, except that it has not been moved.

Even during the Chinese New Year, I only stay in my hometown for two days, the 30th and the 1st. Sometimes I even leave on the night of the 1st.

This is also because the city is relatively close to my hometown, only more than 80 kilometers away.

Li Le bought three boxes of mooncakes, gave one box to his aunt's house, sent another box to his aunt's house, and ate the remaining box in the evening.

As for the relatives on my grandma's and mom's sides, the only relatives on my grandma's side are a few of my dad's cousins, and none of them are at home.

Not to mention the relatives on my mother's side, Li Le's grandma and grandpa are long gone.

Li Le has five aunts and no uncle. His mother is the fifth child. His eldest aunt, second aunt and third aunt are all in Zhongzhou City, but they don’t come back during the Spring Festival.

My fourth aunt lives in Haikou and she doesn’t come back until the Chinese New Year. My only youngest aunt is almost forty and still unmarried.

Although she lives in a county town, she is a teacher and she will go out traveling whenever she has a holiday, even if it is only three or two days.

Not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, I probably don’t even know which tourist attractions to visit now!
After putting three boxes of mooncakes into the cart, Li Le and his friends went to the seafood store.

Li Le pointed at a large lobster and said to Li Qingcheng, "What do you think of this one?"

"It's a little small. I guess it won't be enough to eat."

Li Le was speechless. In a place like a county town, there was no need for particularly large lobsters.

And there is no Australian lobster, only this kind of lobster.

"It doesn't matter if it's not enough! Just buy two."

Hearing what Li Le said, Li Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "That's right! Then we need two."

In fact, this wave of dragons is not small, weighing only five or six kilograms. As for the price, it is less than two hundred, one hundred and ninety-eight per kilogram.

After weighing two lobsters, Li Le pointed at a king crab and asked, "How about this one?"

"This is too small. Let's not take it. It's too small and there's not much meat on it." Li Qingcheng shook her head and said.

"Okay then, let's not buy king crabs, let's buy some hairy crabs!"

"can."

Then the four people came to the tank containing hairy crabs. These were not fake hairy crabs, but real ones.

But the price is not cheap, and they are sold in male and female varieties.

For example, this female hairy crab weighing 6 taels costs less than 200 yuan per pound, which is almost the same price as lobster.

Li Le called the salesperson over and said, "Help me get twenty of these females."

"Ok."

"Twenty? Are those too many?" Li Qingcheng asked.

"Not many! There are only two of us, my uncle and aunt. They will definitely come to our house to eat in the evening. That means there will be ten people, two for each person, which is exactly twenty."

Hearing what Li Le said, what else could Li Qingcheng say? She could only nod and say, "Okay!"

Twenty hairy crabs weigh a total of 13.1 jin. Li Le knew that it was not that heavy.

There is no way around it. The hairy crabs are caught from the water and they contain some water, so they weigh only 13.1 jin.

"Do you guys think there's anything else you want to buy?" Li Le asked as he put the hairy crabs into the cart.

Li Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go buy some middle-aged and elderly milk powder for my grandparents and my parents! It's good for the body."

"It's up to you." Li Le shrugged.

Li Qingcheng buys things for the elderly, which shows that she is filial, so Li Le certainly won't stop her.

"I'll go too." Ye Qi said.

"Let's go together!" Nie Weiwei stood up and said.

"Ok!"

The three girls went to the milk powder area, while Li Le pushed the cart to the beverage area.

PS: Love is always there no matter how far we are apart. Can you give me a monthly ticket?
