Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 58: Follow-up to the Big Purchase

Lin Qingyan settled the shopping cart and looked at the two large bags. She regretted putting the backpack in the space too early.

As a result, she had to spend money to buy two bags, which cost her 6 cents, and she felt very distressed.

I bought these things on impulse and had no way to continue shopping in the supermarket. I could only carry the things out of the supermarket and walk back.

She walked to an abandoned yard on the mountain and put away her things. She decided to go back and buy some jars or transparent bags.

When I was sorting things out just now, I found that everything has packaging, and the packaging has the name and some production information, which cannot appear in the 70s.

After walking back for a while, I remembered to ask Zhou Limei, so I picked up my phone and awkwardly sent her a message: "Sister Zhou, do you know where I can buy some transparent bags?"

Zhou Limei's message came back quickly, "You want a transparent bag, what is it for?"

"I bought some things and took them home to give to my family, but I didn't want them to know where I bought them," Lin Qingyan explained.

"Is it a bag without any text markings? You can buy it online. These things are all available online, just use Taobao or MoDuo, which I downloaded for you this morning."

Lin Qingyan took her cell phone and found the Taobao that Zhou Limei mentioned, but she didn't know how to search it. After trying for a long time, she finally scratched her hair and gave up.

I continued to send messages to Zhou Limei, "Sister Zhou, I still can't figure it out. Can you please buy some for me? I'll wait until I get home and give you the money."

"Don't worry about the money. I'll buy it for you first. Please wait a moment." Zhou Limei sent a voice message directly. Fortunately, Lin Qingyan had already learned how to send and receive voice messages.

After a while, Zhou Limei sent a few pictures and a voice message.

"These bags are all transparent, and I've selected some unmarked jars for you. Take a look and I'll place the order for you if you're sure. They'll arrive in about three days."

Lin Qingyan saw some square or rectangular, transparent bags in the pictures, which looked like they could be sealed, and were very suitable for storing milk powder.

I also saw some transparent bags commonly seen in supermarkets, as well as hand-carrying bags.

"Sister Zhou, please buy some of these for me." Lin Qingyan decided to buy some of each.

"You want all of these? How many do you want?" Zhou Limei continued to send voice messages.

"I want both, 20 of each?" Lin Qingyan asked tentatively.

Zhou Limei's helpless voice came, "You need to buy these online for at least 100 pieces. How about I buy you two fewer pieces? The price is not expensive."

Lin Qingyan looked at the price displayed under the new picture sent by Zhou Limei, and calculated that a bag was only a few cents, which was not expensive. The jar was more expensive, but it looked like it should last for a long time.

"Then please help me buy a hundred of them, Sister Zhou. I'll give you the money when I come over in a few days."

Lin Qingyan felt a little embarrassed to pay the money in a few days, after all, it was a matter of owing money to someone.

After the matter was resolved, Lin Qingyan looked at the time and it was already noon. She did not return to the dilapidated yard and go back to the 70s, but went straight up the mountain to Grandpa Lin's house.

Arriving not far from Grandpa Lin's house halfway up the mountain, Lin Qingyan took out the backpack from the space, put some flour and noodles she had just bought today, and the fruits she grew in her space, and put them in the backpack.

Then she picked up the backpack and walked towards Grandpa Lin's house. The two old people who were eating did not see her at first.

Lin Qingyan walked to the gate of the courtyard and increased her footsteps. The old couple who heard the footsteps turned around and looked at her. When they saw that it was her, they were both very happy.

"Qingyan, you're here. Why didn't you come earlier? I could cook something delicious for you." Grandma Lin hurried forward and held Lin Qingyan's hand.

"Grandma, I went to town today and the supermarket was having a sale, so I bought some flour and noodles and brought some over for you." Lin Qingyan said as she put down the backpack, which was full of things.

Grandma Lin wiped her tears and said to Lin Qingyan, "Child, go back and buy whatever we need. You can take these back and eat them yourself."

"Yes, your grandma and I are in good health, especially recently, we feel much better. We can go down the mountain to buy things by ourselves." Grandpa Lin also stepped forward to refuse.

"Grandpa and grandma, I am your granddaughter now. Only these noodles are bought from the supermarket. The others are all grown by me. I also grow these fruits myself. You can try them. They are delicious."

Lin Qingyan picked two grapes and handed them to the two of them.

The old lady ate a grape and said to the old man, "My dear granddaughter, old man, these grapes are better than the ones grown in our back hills. They are the most delicious grapes I have ever eaten in my life."

Grandma Lin was obviously very satisfied with the taste of the grapes.

Grandpa Lin looked at the old woman who was enjoying the food with her eyes narrowed. In the end, he said nothing and nodded, "My child, you have worked hard and have to take care of us two old people."

"Grandpa, you can't be so formal with your granddaughter." Lin Qingyan pouted and acted coquettishly for a rare time.

Grandpa Lin looked at her helplessly and said to her, "Stop laughing. Hurry up and cook another dish for Qingyan. She must have not eaten yet."

"Girl, sit for a while. I'll go cook another dish." Grandma Lin prepared to go to the kitchen.

Lin Qingyan looked at the mushroom-stewed bone soup and a plate of vegetables on the table and quickly stopped the old lady, "Grandma, this is enough."

"No way, I'll just cook another dish, it'll be quick." Grandma Lin was unwilling.

"Grandma, I'm hungry. Let's eat first. You can cook more for me next time."

Grandma Lin looked at Lin Qingyan, who seemed really hungry. She couldn't bear to let her granddaughter go hungry, so she quickly asked her to sit down and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice. Then the three of them sat down and continued to eat.

The three of them ate and chatted. Of course, neither of their families had the custom of not being allowed to talk while eating.

After dinner, Lin Qingyan took out her cell phone and said to the old couple,

"Grandpa and grandma, I just got a cell phone number. This is my number. You can call me if you have any questions. There is often no signal where I am, but I always carry my phone with me when I am outside."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get a notebook and you write it down." Grandpa Lin got up and went into the house to get out a notebook and asked her to write on it.

Lin Qingyan wrote down the number. Grandma Lin, who was sorting out the things in the backpack, only then noticed the watermelon under the basket.

"Oh, Qingyan, watermelons are quite expensive at this time. I can't buy them anymore."

"Grandma, I grew this watermelon myself. I didn't buy it. You can eat it without worry."

"This melon looks very fresh. There are still fresh watermelons at this time. Qingyan, you are amazing." Grandma Lin praised her granddaughter with all kinds of words.

Lin Qingyan felt embarrassed by the praise. If she didn't have the space cheat, she would never have been able to grow these. However, she should not take out out-of-season fruits easily in the future.
