The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

But now she doesn't care anymore, it doesn't matter what she eats or wears, at least she can live well now. She hasn't been hungry for a long time.

Besides, Mrs. Tian had done their best to give her the best. Compared with eating delicious food, drinking spicy drinks, and wearing silk and satin, Tian Tian cherished the warmth of their Tian family more.

But we still have to do our best to improve the life of Mrs. Tian's family.

Tian Tian thought so and decided to return the food coupons to Old Mrs. Tian.

"Grandma! Please keep these food coupons well. I, your eldest granddaughter, am not stupid, so don't worry. I specially set aside these food coupons for you. I still have some food coupons left in my bag. Those food coupons are enough for me to eat at school for another month." Tian Tian said.

In fact, most of the money he spent at school were the food coupons that were about to expire that she exchanged from Li Jiuniang. She had not yet spent the food coupons that Old Lady Tian exchanged for her.

"And grandma, you don't have to worry about me not having enough to eat at school. You know that the sauces and pickles you brought me are very popular among my roommates. They want to eat pickles with me, but they are embarrassed to ask for them for free. They treat me to a meal every other week, and the sauces and pickles you brought me basically go to them. I, your eldest granddaughter, didn't even get to eat a few bites." Tian Tian said.

"Just take it! Anyway, the food will be delivered in a few days after I leave this time. Grandma, if you are worried that I really don't have food coupons to eat, you can ask my dad to send me some food. Besides, these food coupons are about to expire, and I can't use them in our brigade, so why not just let them expire?"

Old Mrs. Tian looked down and said, "Isn't it?"

As expected, the food coupons will expire in less than a week. "What's wrong with your school? You know everyone has to go back for the autumn harvest holiday, and we have nowhere to spend our food coupons in this big rural area, so why do you still give you food coupons with this date? What if you don't pay attention, won't it be wasted?"

Old Mrs. Tian put the food coupons in her pocket and said, "Grandma, I know! Then ask your dad to go to the grain station to exchange for some food! Go back to your room and pack your things, and come over for dinner later."

After saying this, Old Mrs. Tian took the soybeans and went to exchange them for tofu skin.

Tian Tian also packed her things back into her luggage and took them back to her room to prepare and tidy up.

Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo followed Tian Tian over.

"Sister! Did you buy anything for us when you came back from the county town?" Tian Mu asked behind Tian Tian.

"What can I buy for you? I go to the city to study, not to enjoy myself." Tian Tian took out the things in her schoolbag one by one and said.

"No candy?" Tian Mu stood on tiptoe to look into the bag.

Tian Tian was the one who had the most candy in the family. Sometimes, Tian Mu and the others would eat up all the candy given to them by Old Lady Tian, ​​but Tian Tian would still take out a candy for them from time to time, and Tian Tian had the most money in her pocket.

"I didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative this time. If you want to eat candy, I will buy some for you next time I come back." Tian Tian said.

When the two brothers heard that Tian Tian promised to buy them some candy, they were very happy. Tian Tian would do whatever she promised them.

"Okay! You two help me take these bottles to the kitchen. Be careful not to hit them!" Tian Tian handed them three washed cans and asked them to put them in the kitchen.

The two of them went to the kitchen holding the bottles.

There was actually nothing in Tian Tian’s bag, just high school textbooks, a few pieces of clothes, and a lunch box for school use, nothing else.

Tian Tian quickly packed up all the things and took out another set of clothes that she had not had time to change to wash in the river.

Everyone they met on the road greeted Tian Tian. Tian was a common surname in their brigade, and most of the brigade cadres were from their old Tian family. So the people in Tian Tian's family had a good relationship in the brigade.

Tian Tian carried a large basin to the river to wash clothes. When she passed by a grove, she saw someone coming out of it.

She glanced over there and found that it was Gu Ze who came out. Gu Ze had a sack in his hand, which was bulging with things. They should be the mountain products he picked up in the mountains.

Tian Tian was quite surprised to see Gu Ze. She had discussed many issues with Gu Ze before, and Gu Ze was indeed very smart. It was obvious that he had a solid knowledge of high school and junior high school, and the questions he explained to Tian Tian were also very clear and concise. The relationship between the two of them was getting better and better.

"Gu Ze!" Tian Tian raised her hand and greeted.

Hearing Tian Tian's voice, Gu Ze finally saw Tian Tian, ​​"Tian Tian? When did you come back?"

"I just came back this morning. I was thinking of going to the river to wash some clothes, and then I met you here. Did you just come down from the mountain too?" Tian Tian asked happily.

Gu Ze didn't want to hide it from Tian Tian. He raised his hand to indicate the hemp in his hand, "Isn't the food at home almost gone? I'm also worried that my grandfather and the others will starve. I thought of going up the mountain to pick some mountain products. It can be eaten as a meal or as a snack. It won't let them starve."

Gu Xingshu and his companions were of poor background, so they were all given the lowest work points. Although he was very capable and earned a few work points, the food he earned was not enough for the three of them to eat.

So their food was consumed early, and they could only go up the mountain to get some mountain products to eat. Fortunately, this was the harvest season, and there were many things on the mountain. They could survive until the end of the autumn harvest and divide the food.

"You should pick up more chestnuts and hazelnuts on the mountain. Chestnuts are especially filling, as pears and hawthorns can actually be used as snacks, so a little more or less won't matter." Tian Tian reminded.

This situation is actually not uncommon in their brigade. Not every household in their brigade has good conditions. Some people go hungry all year round and dare not eat more food. As a result, when the autumn harvest comes, all the food in the house is eaten up.

They also go up the mountain to pick chestnuts and hazelnuts for food. Some people are not picky and even pick acorns.

"Okay! I get it. You don't have to worry too much. You must study hard now that you are in high school. This way, my hard work in teaching you will not be in vain." Gu Ze said with a smile.

His grandfather is a university professor, and he has also attended high school. He knows the importance of studying best, and he also knows that life will not always be like this.

In addition, it is more difficult for children in rural areas to go to school, so he also hopes that Tian Tian can keep persevering so that she will have hope of leaving the countryside.
