A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

After Chen Jiaojiao and Liu Hui went to the brigade warehouse together, Liu Hui went to drive the tractor while Chen Jiaojiao went to pay Accountant Zhou.

After Chen Jiaojiao paid the fee and came out, she found Liu Hui was still driving the tractor.

Watching Liu Hui quickly turning the tractor's handle, Shen Jiaren couldn't help but sigh that driving a tractor is really a physical job. First of all, without physical strength, how can you shake the tractor and start the tractor?

Shen Jiaren watched Liu Hui shaking the tractor for a long time before she heard the "boom boom boom" sound of the tractor. As soon as the tractor started, Liu Hui sat on the tractor and waved at Shen Jiaren, "Shen Zhiqing, get on. We can set off."

Shen Jiaren replied, "OK," and quickly got on the back of the tractor.

After the tractor set off, it didn't take long to reach the town.

After arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Hui stopped the tractor and said to Shen Jiaren, "Shen Zhiqing, you stay here, go and do your business first, I'll be there for a while, we'll meet at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative in two and a half hours."

Shen Jiaren replied, "Okay, then we'll meet at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative later."

After saying that, Shen Jiaren went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Su Hongmei.

As Shen Jiaren just walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Su Hongmei saw her and waved to her.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaren did not go in again. She turned around and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative's door and waited in the alley next to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Shen Jiaren stood at the entrance of the alley for a while before Su Hongmei came out.

"Xiao Shen, you came at a great time today. I asked someone to find you and tell you that you can get grain from the grain store starting today, and the time is in the next few days. I haven't found anyone to tell you yet, but you came here. You are so lucky."

"Sister Hongmei, I came to you today to ask you if anyone here wants to exchange supplies?

I went into the mountains to pick up some yellow porcini mushrooms and pine nuts. I picked up quite a lot. Does anyone want them?"

"What? Yellow porcini mushrooms??? Xiao Shen, how are you so lucky? How many did you pick up? Many people here like to eat this, so we don't have to worry about selling it. Pah, pah, pah, we don't have to worry about exchanging it. What do you want???"

"I just want the yellow and white stuff. And Sister Hongmei, where are the pine nuts? Do you want some?"

"I also want pine nuts, but I was so excited when I heard about the yellow porcini mushrooms that I forgot to mention that there is no shortage of these either, raw or cooked. It depends on what yellow or white thing you want to exchange for."

"Sister Hongmei, I don't have any requests, just give me the money."

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, Xiao Shen, I thought you were talking about something yellow and white, I didn’t expect you to be so direct.

Hahahahahahahahahaha, as for money, it doesn't matter, just give me whatever you have and I'll help you find a seller."

"Sister Hongmei, there's no need to trouble you so much. I have to trouble you to sell it and find a seller. How about this? We will give it to you at 20% lower than the market price you mentioned. As for how much you can sell it for, that's your problem. I will just sell it to you and don't care about what happens next."

"Really? Xiao Shen, are you sure you want to do this? The lower the commission, the lower the commission.

"It's true. I want to thank you, Sister Hongmei. When I first came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, you helped me, and later you helped me buy coal. I also troubled you to help me find out whether I can get food coupons. Now I have to change things, and I have to trouble you again.

I have to trouble you with everything. I'll give you a 20% discount, then we can consider it as helping each other.

After all, we will have more and more opportunities to help each other in the future."

"Is that so? Okay then, Xiao Shen, if you need anything in the future, as long as I can help you, I will do my best to help you."

"Oh, Sister Hongmei, I have something else to tell you. I collected the yellow porcini mushrooms and dried them in the sun for a day. They are a little wilted. There are also fresh ones that I wrapped in something. The fresh ones are in another bag and are not at hand. They are wilted at home. Which one do you want?"

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's a little bit dull. Just give them all to me.

Remember to give me the fresh ones later.

Also, next time if you have any mountain products or want to exchange them, remember to bring them to me."

"Yes, thank you, Sister Hongmei. Then, Sister, I will go to the grain station to get the grain coupons first. I will give you the fresh yellow porcini mushrooms after I get the things.

Then sister, please excuse me, I need to buy some meat.

I have the meat coupons, but I just saw that there is not much meat left in the supply and marketing cooperative. Could you please leave some meat and bones for me?"

"Sure, if you want to buy meat, how much do you want? Also, do you want to go to the grain station to get a ticket book?"

"Well, I want to buy two kilograms of meat and two kilograms of bones. I want to go to the grain station to get the receipts, money, and other things in the grain coupon book."

"Is there anything else you need?"

"Sister Hongmei, I want to buy a few more books, books about high school, and I also want to go to the recycling station to see if there are any unwanted books and newspapers. I can study when I get back."

"I see. If you go to the grain station to buy something, go find Xuemei, whose full name is Su Xuemei. She's my sister. If you need a book, go to Xinhua Bookstore and find Qiumei, whose full name is Su Qiumei. She's my sister. When you go there, tell them that I asked you to find them, and they'll help you keep an eye out.

As for the waste recycling station, it's behind the Xinhua Bookstore. Let my sister take you there. Just tell the people at the recycling station what you want. You don't have to worry about not being able to find it or being cheated."

"Really? Sister Hongmei? Is this true? I want to ask you, where do your relatives work? I'll see if there's anything I can need from you when the time comes?"

"It's nothing. We have a lot of brothers and sisters. One works in a state-owned restaurant, another works in the Public Security Bureau, and the rest are from my husband's side, or they are cousins."

"Wow, Sister Hongmei, your family has included all walks of life in this town? Are there so many people in your family?"

"Not really. We have five brothers and sisters, and my husband has about five brothers and sisters as well. Add in the in-laws, our parents, and the in-laws of our in-laws, and it sounds like there are more relatives. Actually, it's not that big of a deal. I only deal with those few people. But since we're all from the same place, it seems like there are more relatives.

That’s why I told you, if you have any mountain products or something like that, just give them to me. We have a big family and we consume a lot of things ourselves.

If you have any questions, you can come to me. We are all locals and have many relatives. If you need help, I can help you better. "

"Thank you, Sister Hongmei. Thank you so much. I will give you the fresh porcini mushrooms after I get my bag today. As for the pine nuts and dried porcini mushrooms, I will pack them up and give them to you."

"Sure, time doesn't matter, just give it to me when you have it."

"Yes. Then Sister Hongmei, I'll go to the grain station to get some things and go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books. I'll come to see you later."

"Yeah, see you later then."

Shen Jiaren walked towards the grain station and went directly to find Su Hongmei's sister Su Xuemei. After receiving grain coupons and various receipts from the grain station, she entrusted Su Xuemei to buy some vegetables and rice and flour.

Su Xuemei asked, "Shen Zhiqing, what do you want to write?"

"Sister Xuemei, as for vegetables, I'll buy whatever I can. I'm not picky."

As for rice and flour, it’s the same, Sister Xuemei, just buy whatever you think is appropriate.

The only problem is that I can’t take it now. I can only come back to get it later. Do you want me to give you the money now or when I come back later?”

Su Xuemei replied, "It's okay, just give it to me later. I don't know what I can buy later. You can pay me after I buy it."

"Yes, as long as Sister Xuemei doesn't mind me bothering you."

"What's the big deal? My sister introduced you here, so you are my sister. Remember to come and get it later."

"Yes, Sister Xuemei, I'll leave first and go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books."

"See you later."

After saying that, Shen Jiaren walked towards the Xinhua Bookstore.

After Shen Jiaren went to Xinhua Bookstore to find Su Qiumei, she found out that the bookstore had relatively few high school books and not many textbooks. It could be said that there were basically no high school books. If she wanted any, she had to order them from outside.

After Shen Jiaren knew about this situation, she gave Su Qiumei a deposit of ten yuan and asked her to help buy a batch of high school textbooks and materials from other places. When the time came, Su Qiumei would greet Su Hongmei, and Shen Jiaren would come to pick them up then.

After Shen Jiaren gave the money and took the deposit slip, she went to the waste recycling station behind the Xinhua Library with Su Qiumei. Su Qiumei said hello to the people at the waste recycling station and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Shen Jiaren said goodbye to Su Qiumei and started wandering around the waste recycling station.
