The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

It is said that snow brings warmth, while melting snow brings coldness. When the snow had just finished falling, Tian Tian felt that walking in the snow was better than this.

"That won't work. It's so cold today. You'll probably freeze to death on the way home." Fang Zhizhi strongly disagreed.

"It just so happens that today their supply and marketing cooperative has a truck going down to the brigade to pick up some things. If you can't make it, just follow their convoy home."

"Is this true?" Tian Tian's eyes lit up.

At this time, workers and peasants are one family, and it is normal for the supply and marketing cooperative's convoy to give a fellow villager a ride for a while.

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? My mother has been so busy with this matter these past two days. She comes home late every night. Sometimes I have to bring her meals." Fang Zhizhi got off the car and hung all of Tian Tian's luggage on her bicycle.

It happened that Fang Zhizhi went home to see Tian Lijuan yesterday, and after hearing what Tian Lijuan said, she helped Tian Tian today.

"That's great. I have to hurry over before the convoy leaves." Tian Tian held her radio and didn't let Fang Zhizhi touch it, urging Fang Zhizhi to hurry.

Fang Zhizhi was also anxious. The supply and marketing cooperative was selling pork today, and she was worried that if she went too late she would be left at the back of the line, so she hurriedly pushed her cart to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Fortunately, the bus station was not far away, and the two of them walked quickly to the supply and marketing cooperative. People at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative were loading the ox cart there.

There is not much in the car now, just a few straw mats, and some stacked straw frames that will be used to hold eggs, and some baskets for mountain products.

"Comrade! Is your truck going to Team 6? Can you give me a ride?" Tian Tian trotted over and asked the people who were loading the truck.

"We are going there to collect eggs. We will start from Team 3, and the third one is Team 6. Comrade, if you want to go to Team 6, you can just take our car." The leading comrade said with a smile.

"Thank you so much! Otherwise I would have to walk back, and I would be worried about how long I would be able to walk back home in such heavy snow." Tian Tian said gratefully.

"That's right. It will take a long time to walk back to the team in such heavy snow. Although taking the ox cart is not as fast as the bus, it is better than walking back." The young comrade said with a smile.

"Comrade, do you have any luggage? If you have any, please load it on the car now," asked the young comrade.

"Yes!" Tian Tian agreed immediately and took the luggage from Fang Zhizhi's car and put it on the ox cart.

But she still held her precious radio in her arms.

"What is this? You were acting like a baby all the way here?" Fang Zhizhi, who had parked her bike nearby, came over and asked. She had wanted to ask this for a long time.

Tian Tian looked around and whispered in Fang Zhizhi's ear: "Radio!"

Fang Zhizhi widened her eyes and looked at Tian Tian, ​​"You can do it! Do you have a radio for you to use at school?"

Her family members are all city people, and only after working for so many years did they afford to spend money to buy a radio. After she got married, there was no radio in her family. But Tian Tian went to school and brought home a radio. How come universities give radios to students?

"It wasn't given by the school. It was made by a classmate of our school using parts of scrapped radios and gave it to me to use." Tian Tian said.

"The people in your school are really amazing. They can even make a radio." Fang Zhizhi praised.

After saying this, Fang Zhizhi saw that the people at the supply and marketing cooperative had already started writing today's special pork on the blackboard, so she hurried over to line up.

Fortunately, she had inside information and came here early this morning. She didn't have to wait for the small blackboard to come out before receiving the news like others.

Fang Zhizhi hurried over to queue up. After Tian Tian asked the young comrade, she knew that it would take some time, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. Tian Lijuan was the only person Tian Tian knew in the supply and marketing cooperative. Aunt Xiao was on vacation today and did not come to work.

Tian Tian went to talk to Tian Lijuan for a while. Tian Lijuan was also very busy, but she still forced some things on Tian Tian and asked her to take them home.

When Tian Tian came back, she took a lot of things. She had no choice but to refuse all the things that Tian Lijuan stuffed into her.

Then he ran outside and got three chicken racks and stuffed them into Tian Lijuan's hands.

It’s cold in winter, and food can be stored for a long time without going bad, so Tian Tian specially bought some chicken racks, a specialty of Shenyang. She queued for many days before she was able to buy several chicken racks. Worried that the chicken racks would go bad, she even put them outside the window to freeze. Only then did she buy enough chicken racks to give as gifts and bring them back.

"This chicken rack is a specialty of our school. If you want to eat it, just fry it in a pan or steam it." Tian Tian said.

"And this chicken rack. Please give it to Aunt Xiao. I'm afraid I won't come to the county again before the New Year." Tian Tian took out another chicken rack and handed it to Tian Lijuan.

"Okay!" Tian Lijuan put the chicken rack aside, said something to Tian Tian, ​​and hurried to do other things.

Tian Tian went out and found that there was a long line at the door where there were only one or two people just now. She didn't know when a long line had formed. People from the supply and marketing cooperative were setting up a stall at the door to sell pork.

Tian Tian also saw many familiar faces in the team, including Zhou Nier, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, and Chu Yan.

The last time Tian Tian heard news about them was when Zhou Nier’s husband passed away. She didn’t know how their two families were doing now.

Tian Tian was hesitating whether to go up and say hello. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they were still from the same production team after all. Meeting each other outside was also a kind of fate.

But before Tian Tian could finish her worry, the car over there was loaded and they urged Tian Tian to get in.

Tian Tian greeted Fang Zhizhi from a distance, got in the car and left.

We took a bullock cart to the third team and began to count the eggs sent by the big team, separating eggs of different sizes into different baskets.

Tian Tianye was not idle, helping them count the eggs.

It took Tian Tian three hours to get home, instead of an hour's journey by ox cart.

Today, everyone brought their own eggs to exchange for money and gathered at the team headquarters.

Tian Tian didn't want to appear in front of everyone, so she got off the bus at the entrance of the brigade and went home with her luggage.

There was no one at home and the door was locked. Tian Tian skillfully took out the key from under the stone next to her and opened the door.

Although Old Mrs. Tian and the others didn't know when Tiantian would come back, they had already cleaned Tiantian's room and heated the kang in advance.

Tian Tian packed up all the luggage she had brought back, and wrapped up the chicken racks that she was going to share with others, preparing to give them to her good friends one by one tomorrow.
