After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

The next morning, when Lin Sitian got up, washed up and left the room, she saw my brother sitting alone at the table, and she knew that her parents had gone to work.

Lin Zhihua said, "Sister, my parents have gone to work, so I'll go with you to register. Let's also buy some things for the countryside!"

Lin Sitian was surprised: "You're not eating breakfast?" Then she looked at her brother and said, "Don't you usually eat two big bowls? Aren't you hungry today?"

Lin Zhihua looked at his sister who was about to go to the countryside and decided not to argue with her! (／_＼)

Then she said with a playful smile: "Sister, I will use my pocket money to treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."

Lin Sitian also wanted to see what the state-owned restaurant was like, so she said to her younger brother without hesitation, "Okay, let's go!"

The brother and sister chatted and laughed as they walked to the state-owned restaurant. As expected of a state-owned restaurant in Kyoto, the dishes served today included:

Roast duck, braised pork, stewed pork ribs with radish, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with cucumber! So many meat dishes, and plenty of vegetarian options, were listed on the small serving board. The staples were rice, dumplings, and steamed buns.

Lin Sitian found a relatively quiet corner and sat down, waiting for her brother to feed her.

Lin Zhihua was also generous. He directly ordered a roast duck and a plate of stewed pork ribs with radish. The vegetarian dish was stir-fried bok choy. He also asked for two bowls of rice!

Nowadays, state-owned restaurants charge money as well as food coupons and meat coupons, so the portions are quite generous. Two people can have two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and two bowls of rice, which is more than enough!

As expected of a young man, he's eating me out of money. Lin Sitian couldn't eat any more after a bowl of rice, a few pieces of meat, and a roast duck leg! Lin Zhihua actually devoured the rest. (???□?)?*?

The meal cost 2 yuan for a roast duck, 0.8 yuan for stewed pork ribs with radish, 0.15 yuan for a vegetable dish, and 0.2 yuan for a bowl of rice. Two people ate their fill for only 3.35 yuan!

Lin Sitian lamented that while wages are low these days, money lasts forever! ???

After finishing their meal, the brother and sister strolled towards the neighborhood office. They saw several older women working there. Lin Sitian walked over and stood in front of one of them, pulling out a few White Rabbit candies from her pocket and placing them on the table as she spoke. "Sister, I've decided to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Can I choose a place?"

When the old lady heard this, she looked at the candies on the table again. She was already his mother, but she still called her sister. Besides, even if she shared the candies with her colleagues, each of them could get two. After all, there were only three people in the street office. So she smiled and said:

"Oh, little girl, look at what you said. Of course it's possible. You are so enthusiastic about responding to the national call to go to the countryside! Come and tell me where you want to go?"

Lin Sitian also smiled and replied: "Sister, can you help me find which production teams are there in the north? My brother is serving in the army in the north, and I want to go to the countryside there so that we can look after each other."

When the old lady heard that there was a soldier in the family, and that people nowadays have great respect and admiration for soldiers, she became even more enthusiastic when she heard that the girl in front of her was going to the countryside in the north just to look after her brother.

After a while, he found the land for going to the countryside in the north on the list and said to Lin Sitian:

"Sister, which military region in the north is your brother in? I'll see the locations written here. I'll fill in the one that's closest to your brother's region."

Lin Zhihua quickly answered: "The 23rd Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"

When Lin Sitian heard this, she thought to herself, "So my brother is in this army. I know this army!

Isn't this the 23rd Army, known as the Northeast Tigers? The 23rd Army's predecessor was the 4th Column of the East China Field Army, abbreviated as Huaye 4th Column. Among the various columns of the East China Field Army, the th Column was one of the main columns.

During the crucial Huaihai Campaign, the 4th Column of the Huaye Army participated in the Nianzhuang Encirclement and Annihilation Campaign and the Chenguanzhuang Encirclement and Annihilation Campaign, among others. In 1949, the PLA began its regularization, with the East China Field Army reorganized into the Third Field Army, and the 23th Column of the Huaye Army reorganized into the rd Army.

When the old lady heard this, she took it more seriously. After all, the 23rd Army was going to fight on the front line with real weapons. She said to Lin Sitian and her brother seriously:

"Then we should go to Heilongjiang Province. The closest place to your brother is the Xiangyang Production Brigade in Heilongjiang Province. But we agreed in advance that if we go to the countryside, we will definitely go there, and the military region is definitely some distance away from the countryside!"

Lin Sitian nodded quickly and said, "I know, I know this, if you're in trouble, I'll go to this brigade."

After the old lady remembered Lin Sitian's name, home address and the address for the village, she looked at Lin Zhihua. Lin Sitian quickly said:

"Auntie, my younger brother won't go to the countryside. He's still in junior high school. After my brother and I leave home, I'll let him stay at home to serve our parents. We have an elderly grandfather at home, so he can study and take care of our parents at the same time."

The old lady nodded in understanding. "Okay, this is the most reasonable arrangement. The educated youth going to the countryside in the north will have to go to the train station in five days. Our subdistrict office will deliver your educated youth subsidy and honorary certificate to your home the day after tomorrow."

Lin Zhihua was leaving in five days and hurriedly dragged his sister to go shopping. After all, there were only four days left, and most of the day had already passed. If they didn't prepare now, it would be too late. ╭(°A°`)╮

The first place they went to was the department store. Lin Sitian looked at her anxious brother and asked, "Do you have money and tickets? Let's go!"

Lin Zhihua said as he led his sister to the department store: "Some of them my parents gave me money and tickets when they left for work this morning, and some of them my grandfather gave me when he left. Let me and you buy them!"

"Okay!" With money and tickets, Lin Sitian didn't say anything more and followed him to the department store!

Seeing that the items in the department store were not as good as those in the space, and required money and tickets, Lin Sitian was a little reluctant to buy anything. However, her brother was next to her, and she couldn't tell anyone the secret of the space, so she thought of buying a few items first to cover up her space!

As soon as Lin Zhihua arrived at the department store, he couldn't wait to ask, "Do you still have those big quilts, big comforters, and cotton-padded clothes?"

The salesperson at the department store said, "We have a 5-jin quilt and a 3-jin quilt here. Which one do you want?"

Lin Zhihua said directly and generously: "I want them all. Tell me how much you want and how many tickets you want!"

When the salesperson heard this, he looked at Lin Sitian and her brother in surprise and said:

“5斤的棉被要10尺布票和8元，3斤的要5尺布票和5元，一共15尺布票13元！”

After Lin Zhihua counted out the bills quickly and handed them to the salesperson, the salesperson went to take the purchased quilt!

Looking at the heavy quilt, Lin Sitian hurriedly grabbed her brother who was still trying to buy something and said to him:

"Zhihua, look at how heavy this quilt is. It's going to be hard for the two of us to carry it back. Let's not go shopping for now. Let's wait until my parents take a day off tomorrow and then we can buy it!"

This made sense, so Lin Zhihua went home carrying a 5-jin quilt, accompanied by his sister, who was carrying a 3-jin quilt.
