Chapter 93 Dong'an Market in the 6s
Chang Kun and his group arrived at Dong'an Market.
At this time of year, Dong'an Market is bustling with people, and there are quite a few people buying things.
When Chang Qing arrived here, he looked around and felt that his two eyes were not enough to take it all in.
"Big brother, big brother, there are singers over there."
"That's a juggling act; they hold hands so they don't get lost."
Chang Xiu rode on her older brother's shoulders, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.
As we slowly walked along the road and followed the flow of people, the little girls kept talking non-stop.
The little girl ate candied hawthorns, fried cakes, walnut pancakes, and almond tofu, leaving her mouth sticky as if she had grown a beard.
When they arrived at the bookstore, Chang Qing and Chang Mu were stunned by the sheer number of comic books; they couldn't possibly take it all in.
When he left, Chang Kun was carrying a large stack of comic books, all of which the little girls had picked out themselves, enough for them to read for a long time.
The three little girls, like victorious generals, followed their eldest brother hand in hand. They had a great time eating, playing, and shopping today.
"Big sister, there's a clothing store over there, go pick one out." Chang Kun saw a clothing store, and the colors and styles looked pretty good.
Chang Mei waved her hands repeatedly: "I stay at home every day, I don't need new clothes."
Chang Kun pushed his eldest sister to the clothing store: "I'm just buying you a dress, it's nothing, my younger sisters all have new clothes to wear."
Chang Mei glanced at Chang Kun, her face full of satisfaction.
Previously, my younger brother rarely spoke to his sisters and would never be so considerate, nor had he ever bought anything for them.
Now, he has not only become more capable, but he is also incredibly kind to his sisters. She is truly happy that her brother has changed so much.
Chang Mei couldn't refuse her younger brother, so she picked out a set of light blue cotton clothes and pants.
At this time, people's first consideration for clothes is durability, and secondly, resistance to dirt.
In an era when people couldn't even fill their stomachs, they didn't care about how good-looking it was.
Cheng Min watched the affectionate relationship between the Chang brothers and sisters and felt quite envious.
Her older brother joined the army when she was very young, and by the time he returned home, she had grown up.
Although the brother and sister have a good relationship, they never get along so easily.
As Chang Mei was happily trying on the clothes, Chang Qing tugged at Chang Kun's hand:
"Big brother, big brother, what are those words written on that wall over there?" Chang Qing asked, pointing to the wall in the distance.
Chang Kun looked back at "The Kite".
"Xiao Qing, that's the name of the movie."
"A movie? Is it like a traditional opera? Can we go see it?"
Upon hearing the name of the movie, the three little girls' eyes widened immediately, and they surrounded Chang Kun.
"Big brother, big brother, let's go see."
"Big pot, go! Go!"
Seeing the longing in his younger sisters' eyes, Chang Kun couldn't refuse.
Anyway, today is just about playing with them, so I'll just go along with what they want.
When asked for their opinions, Cheng Min and Chang Mei also expressed great interest in the film.
Buy tickets and enter the movie theater.
The little girls stopped playing around and sat quietly on the wooden chairs waiting.
As the movie played, the little girls' eyes widened.
They had never even seen a black and white film, let alone the first color film of the new era.
It truly shook their souls.
As the two children interacted in the movie, the little girls giggled and laughed, remaining immersed in the film's scenes until the movie ended.
As the show ended, Chang Qing grabbed Chang Kun's arm:
"Big brother, I want a kite too, can you make one for me?"
She was very envious of the kites in the movie. In her mind, her older brother was omnipotent, so making kites would be a piece of cake for him.
Chang Kun gave a wry smile. He didn't know how to make this thing, so he could only go to the market later to find one and buy it for them to play with.
I strolled around the market and bought a kite for each of the three little girls.
The three little girls couldn't wait to fly their kites in the sky right now, and like the children in the movies, tie a letter to the kite to make friends.
Chang Kun poured cold water on their enthusiasm: "You can write a few words, but can you write a letter?"
The young girls looked at each other, and Chang Qing stubbornly said:
"We're still young, we'll be able to write when we grow up."
"Hmph, you'll only learn one word every three to five days. You won't be able to learn many words when you grow up."
Chang Kun tried to teach the little girls to read using picture books, but they were always distracted and didn't learn many words in a long time.
After a while, Chang Kun himself found it troublesome and wished there was a teacher who could manage them.
Suddenly, he realized that Cheng Min, who was standing next to him, was a primary school teacher.
"Cheng Min, would your elementary school, which is affiliated with the government, accept students like Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu?"
"The primary schools run by government agencies are for children from government compounds; they are not open to ordinary people."
"But, I'll be a teacher there, I'm sure I can handle it!"
After patting the girls' hair, Cheng Min turned to Chang Kun and asked:
"But they still live in the village, so it must be quite inconvenient for them to travel back and forth, right?"
Chang Kun nodded, leaned closer to Cheng Min, and whispered:
"I've been trying to use my connections to see if I can get a place in the housing system sooner."
Cheng Min looked at Chang Kun in surprise.
For Chang Kun's large family to move to the city, a small house wouldn't be enough.
Getting a chance to get a few large houses in the queue is not easy; countless people are using connections to get on the waiting list.
Chang Kun smiled but didn't say anything. He hadn't heard anything from Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office, so he would have to send more things over.
As they approached the north gate of Dong'an Market, a fragrant aroma wafted over, causing the group to stop in their tracks.
Chang Qing and Chang Xiu even closed their eyes, sniffing the wind with their noses, their saliva almost overflowing from the corners of their mouths.
Chang Kun looked up and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this the famous Donglaishun Restaurant?"
This aroma is exactly what hot pot lamb tastes like.
"Let's go eat!"
At this time, most restaurants required tickets for dining.
However, a few high-end restaurants like Donglaishun are different. They do not accept food coupons or meat coupons, but the food they sell is extremely expensive, and ordinary citizens simply cannot afford it.
"Xiao Kun, this restaurant looks expensive. We can just grab some snacks from the roadside."
Chang Mei quickly grabbed her younger brother's arm and glared at the girls, stopping them from bothering her older brother.
Cheng Min also spoke up to dissuade them. She had never eaten at Donglaishun before, but she had heard of its great reputation and knew that its food was extremely expensive.
"Since you've come to the city, you must want to eat something good. Go and eat." Chang Kun said without hesitation.
He had a lot of money left over from selling wild boar for the first time. Normally, he needed money and coupons to buy things, so when he finally found a restaurant that didn't require coupons, he was sure to have a big meal.
Chang Kun pushed his eldest sister, while the three little girls pushed Cheng Min, and they surged toward Donglaishun.
With a jingle of a copper bell, the door was opened, and a strong aroma of mutton wafted out.
The waiter in the white coat straightened his apron and came forward:
"Please come in, everyone. The mutton arrived late last night; it's incredibly fresh!"
Chang Kun smiled; this was the right attitude for service.
He recalled the sign hanging in the department store—"No beating customers without cause."
It truly is a mark of an era.
It's remarkably similar to how some departments in later generations made people run around nine times for a single document.
