Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

It was completely dark now, but the streets were brightly lit.

Lin Qingyan, carrying her backpack, finally reached the vegetable market and started her main business of the day, selling vegetables.

There were not many people in the market, and the few pedestrians were walking hurriedly, walking in empty-handed and walking out hurriedly with bags.

What Lin Qingyan didn't know was that the people who came to the vegetable market were all people who had just got off work.

People who get off work all day and then have to buy groceries and cook meals after work have a busy and tight life.

She picked the wrong time.

People who are richer and have more free time buy groceries early in the morning, or their nanny buys groceries early in the morning.

Lin Qingyan walked outside the vegetable market and saw two old ladies placing some vegetables on the ground.

She thought about it, then walked over and put the backpack beside her.

I saw that the old lady put the vegetables on the bag, not directly on the ground.

Lin Qingyan was a little worried. Should she put the vegetables directly in the backpack?

"Girl, you finally show up!" Suddenly a voice interrupted her thoughts.

Lin Qingyan raised her head and looked at the young mother who was walking towards her hurriedly with her child.

This is the woman I met for the first time when selling vegetables.

"It's you!" Lin Qingyan was also surprised.

"Sister, last time I asked you to contact me if you came to sell vegetables again, why didn't you contact me?

The vegetables I bought last time have been eaten up a long time ago, but the child has been crying for food these past two days.

I don't have your contact information, and I can't contact you.

I was wandering around the streets trying to find you, and finally I caught you."

The young mother, Zhou Limei, spoke excitedly one after another, causing her usually calm tone to become extremely rapid.

"Sorry sis, I don't have a phone."

Lin Qingyan could see that the woman opposite was very anxious and really wanted to buy her vegetables, so she said apologetically.

"Big sister, do you still have the tomatoes you ordered last time?"

Tongtong, who had always been well-behaved and quiet, walked up to Lin Qingyan, grabbed her sleeve and asked.

"Yes, yes. We brought quite a few this time."

Lin Qingyan quickly squatted down and reached under the cloth cover of the backpack.

In fact, it is to transfer the tomatoes, cucumbers and vegetables in the space into the backpack.

When she lifted the cloth on the backpack, there were tomatoes on top, bright red and juicy. Lin Qingyan took one and handed it to Tongtong.

"Eat it. My sister hasn't been here these few days because of something. This is my compensation for you."

Tongtong looked at her mother beside her, and when she nodded, she reached out to take the tomato and bit into it without washing it.

Zhou Limei resisted the urge to interrupt her daughter. It was rare that she liked a certain food so much. Not only her daughter liked it, but she liked it too.

The actions of several people attracted the attention of passers-by. It is a unique characteristic of Chinese people that they love to join in the fun and go wherever there is excitement.

"Girl, are you selling this vegetable?"

At this time, an old lady who was taking a walk passed by and came up to ask.

“Auntie, these vegetables are for sale.”

"Do not sell!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei looked at each other.

"Should we sell it or not?" the old lady asked dissatisfiedly.

"Not for sale." This time they said it in unison.

"If you're not selling it, why are you putting it in front of the vegetable market? Who's visiting here?" The old lady muttered in dissatisfaction.

Only after the old lady walked away did Zhou Limei let go of Lin Qingyan's hand.

"Excuse me, sister, I want all these dishes. My kids like them.

You don't know how picky she is. She never eats vegetables. She really liked the vegetables I bought from you last time.

After she finishes eating, she won’t eat any more if she buys more. No matter how expensive the organic vegetables are, she won’t eat them.

I really have no choice but to keep asking for your food."

Zhou Limei explained her behavior of stopping Lin Qingyan from selling vegetables and apologized for her unreasonable behavior.

"It's my blessing that you like them. These vegetables are all grown by me and they are delicious."

Lin Qingyan was also 100% satisfied with the food in her space.

The vegetables there tasted better than those grown outside. She knew it might be related to the well water in the space.

"This time there are a little more tomatoes and cucumbers, and a small amount of other vegetables. Do you want some, sister?"

"I want both. I trust you. Don't weigh these vegetables. I'll give you 200 yuan. Is that okay with you?"

Zhou Limei looked at Lin Qingyan and asked.

Lin Qingyan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes!"

What? 200 yuan? Lin Qingyan was a little shocked. Although the money in this era is quite different from the era when she lived,

But I just bought two long-sleeved shirts for only 10 yuan, so 200 yuan is a lot of money.

She was very grateful, and she would definitely think of her sister first next time when she gets something good.

"Girl, can you help me take these vegetables home? I have to turn a street and walk for more than ten minutes."

Zhou Limei looked at the full basket of vegetables and fruits, then looked at the children around her, feeling a little troubled.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Qingyan was trapped in the huge sum of 200 yuan.

"My name is Zhou Limei. I'm a few years older than you. You can call me Sister Zhou."

The young mothers said to Lin Qingyan.

"Hello, Sister Zhou, I'm Lin Qingyan." Lin Qingyan said as she picked up the backpack.

"Then can I call you Qingyan? My home is not far away, just past the alley in front."

Zhou Limei held Tongtong with one hand and pointed to the alley not far ahead with the other hand.

"Of course, Sister Zhou, my parents call me Yanyan, and my friends call me Qingyan."

When Lin Qingyan talked about her parents, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes.

"Tongtong, eat slowly."

Zhou Limei spoke softly as she looked at her daughter biting a tomato.

"Mom, my sister's tomatoes are delicious. They are the best tomatoes I have ever eaten. I think they are the best in the world."

The little girl was holding a half-eaten tomato in her hand, her eyes narrowed and her face intoxicated.

"The most delicious food in the world? There are a lot of foods in the world. How much have you eaten? You are so smart."

Zhou Limei smiled at her daughter.

"I'm telling the truth, it's really delicious." Tongtong pouted in dissatisfaction.

Lin Qingyan followed the mother and daughter with a backpack on her back, thinking of her own mother.

"Qingyan, we're here. This is the neighborhood. Next time if you come to sell vegetables, you can go directly to this neighborhood and give them to me. I want all of them."

"Okay, Sister Zhou, I was quite busy recently and didn't have time to deliver it.

I've been free recently, and I've grown a lot of vegetables at home. I'll bring you some when I come over."

Lin Qingyan plans to take advantage of the busy farming season to

Make more money to prepare for the future reform and opening up. As long as you work hard to grow the vegetables in the space,

The quantity is definitely too much for Zhou Limei to eat alone.

"You grow a lot of vegetables at home? Are the quality the same as these?"

The two walked and talked as they entered the residential area and went upstairs together.

Zhou Limei took out the key to open the door, went into the house to change her shoes, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan quickly waved her hand, "Sister Zhou, just deliver the dishes, I won't go in, where do you think these dishes are?"
