The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

"Why don't you stay here tonight? There are many rooms in the new house. We can clean up two of them and you can stay here. You don't have classes tomorrow and we will be at home. Just stay at our house for another day and go back to school tomorrow night." Ge Huiyun wanted them to stay at home for a while.

Over the years, she has been alone at home, and she has been wary of many of her colleagues, fearing that some of them might report her if they don't get along well with her. As a result, she has never had any close friends, and she can only tell her eldest brother and his wife about anything on her mind.

Now that her husband, son, and father-in-law are back, the team members are becoming more lively and not as tense as before.

She finally met Tian Tian and got along well with her. She wanted to spend more time with her.

"No, Auntie. My brother and I should go back to school. We asked you to clean up the house. It's really tiring. We won't trouble you anymore. You are all tired after a day. You should rest early!" Tian Tian refused. Although she got along well with the other party, she still felt awkward living in someone else's house.

After hearing what Tian Tian said, Ge Huiyun originally wanted to let Tian Tian live with her and let the men find a room. But then she thought again, they were not particularly familiar with each other, so she had to give up the idea.

"Okay then, let Gu Zhao go back with you two. Isn't he from the same school as Tian Tian? Let him send Tian Tian back on the way. Xiao Yuan, you just go back to school directly." Ge Huiyun arranged.

Tian Yuan turned around and looked at Gu Zhao and Tian Tian. It was indeed getting late. He had to go back and wash up. Plus, there were some other things to do. The lights in school would probably be turned off soon, so he nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you, Gu Zhao. I'm really busy at school!"

Gu Zhao sighed and stood up resignedly. When he first came back, his mother treated him like a treasure, but now his mother disliked him being annoying at home. He hasn't lived at home for more than a month. Every time he came back to see his mother, his mother couldn't wait to send him back to school right after dinner. But he later found out that his mother was too lazy to clean the house for him and simply let him stay in school.

Those who don’t know might think that Ge Huiyun is a stepmother who doesn’t like her son.

Several people took the last bus back to school.

Liang Dongqing looked at Tian Tian who had returned and greeted her, "You're back?"

"I'm back!" After arriving at her comfortable place, Tian Tian also felt at ease.

"Why are there so many delicious foods on your table? Have you made a fortune?" Chen Wanqing asked.

They all knew that although Tiantian came from the countryside, the way they spent money on a daily basis did not seem to be poor.

This is not to say that Tian Tian spends money lavishly. Tian Tian is usually very careful with her money. But when you have money, you live carefully, but when you don't have money, you are reluctant to spend it. These are two different feelings. The former is more confident, while the latter is really worried that if you spend the money, you will have no money to eat.

Tian Tian was very calm about spending money and didn't worry about what would happen to her after spending the money, so they never thought that Tian Tian's family was poor.

"I was shocked when I came back today. There were so many delicious foods on your table, and cherries so big. I've never seen them before. Where did you buy them?" Liang Dongqing also turned around and asked Tian Tian.

"How can I be rich?" Tian Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "These things were bought for me by my brother. My brother also bought the cherries from the supply and marketing cooperative of his school. I'll wash them and we can all taste them. These cherries are so sweet!"

Tian Tian put away all other things that could be stored, poured the cherries into the lunch box, and took them out to wash them.

There are no pesticides on fruits nowadays, so you just need to use water to wash off the dust on the cherries. Tian Tian came in with juicy red cherries with water droplets on them, and grabbed a few for each of them. She also took a cherry and took a bite. The cherry was full of juice, sour and sweet, and Tian Tian squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

The cherry tasted very good. She was embarrassed to eat too much when she was at Tian's house, so she only ate a few. Now that she was back in the dormitory, she could finally eat as much as she wanted.

I don’t know if the supply and marketing cooperatives outside sell these big cherries. If so, Tian Tian would also like to buy some.

She has been here for so many years, and has only eaten cherries with small seeds, with a layer of skin on the outside and a pit inside.

She thought there were no such big cherries at this time, and she didn't know where these cherries were produced.

"These cherries are really delicious. It would be great if our supply and marketing cooperative could sell them."

"What are you thinking? The supply and marketing cooperative in our school is so small that you can't even see the leaves of the fruits. How can you expect to see such rare cherries?"

The supply and marketing cooperative in their school was really ridiculously small. Apart from daily necessities, there was nothing else. Sometimes when they wanted to get something to eat, they couldn't buy it in the supply and marketing cooperative in the school, so they had to buy it outside the school.

They don’t even have the common biscuits and cakes, let alone expect to buy fruits in their school. They don’t even have ordinary apples and oranges, so how is it possible to buy such good big cherries?

"The treatment in military academies is so good! I wish I had applied to a military academy earlier." Liang Dongqing said.

Her family had some connections in the military, and her father wanted her to apply to a military academy, but Liang Dongqing felt that it would be too tiring, so she didn't agree.

If she had known that the treatment in military academy was so good, she would definitely have gone.

"I heard before that the troops in some places can't even live as well as ordinary people, so why are their treatment so good now?" Gao Xuewei asked while biting a cherry.

"I know!" Liang Dongqing raised her hand. "I heard that during the three-year disaster, some places suffered too much damage, so part of the army's food was allocated to the people, so the soldiers didn't have enough to eat. After three years, the soldiers' food was still not enough, and their training was too tiring, so many people were malnourished and fell ill. That's why the higher-ups allocated funds to improve the army's food."

Liang Dongqing knew best what life in the army was like. She had eaten in the army canteen since she was a child, which was why she didn't want to go to military school. She didn't expect that the army canteen was not that good, but the food in the military school was pretty good.

Tian Tian also nodded in agreement. She knew this from the fact that after her brother joined the army, he not only did not gain any weight, but actually lost a lot of weight.
