"If you like it, go for it boldly. In order to go to his partner's house, Wang Feng directly asked me to take it with him." Li Wen laughed.

"I'm done arguing with you. It's time to go back. Let me sort out the house issues during this period before talking about anything else." Zheng Kai blushed at what Li Wen said and hurriedly ran away.

"Here, this is a cloth ticket, not much. Whether it's worth your money, you can decide for yourself." Zheng Kai then remembered as he walked to the door with the basket on his back.

"Get out of here right away. Friendships are still very detailed!" Li Wen said with a smile as he took the cloth ticket.

"You won't go back with me?" Zheng Kai asked doubtfully when Li Wen didn't move.

"You go first, I will give you the money for today's things and send them to you later." Li Wen waved his hand and said.

"Okay, thank you!" Zheng Kai left the yard briskly with his backpack on his back.

"It seems like I need to find someone to live in this place. It's not safe if it's always empty like this. It's easy to be stared at." Li Wen said to himself, looking at the deserted courtyard.

I took out three pairs of the Jiefang rubber shoes I bought yesterday from the space. Li Wen also looked at the shoes on Li Wu and Li Quan's feet. There were patches on top of each other, and even the thumbs were sticking out. It was really unbearable to look at them.

In fact, it is not that the two brothers have no shoes to wear. A few days ago, Li Wen brought home a pair of old cloth shoes for each of them. They are mille-layer cloth shoes specially made by the old lady for their two grandchildren. They are very strong and beautiful.

Li and Wu were very happy after getting the cloth shoes, but they were reluctant to change them, saying that they would wait until the uppers on their feet were rotten before wearing them again.

Li Wen could also understand that it was good to have a pair of patched cloth shoes these days. More people wore straw sandals, and children even went barefoot.

Every winter, many children are afraid to go out. Without shoes or clothes, it is too cold to go out in winter and their feet will freeze.

When Li Wen just traveled through time, the shoes on his feet were just patches upon patches. That's it, the shoes on his feet were passed down to his second brother Li Quan because his feet were too big to fit.

It was Li Wenchuan's turn to be the third one, and the first one was worn by his eldest brother.

Later, Li Wen wrote articles, traded supplies with others, got some cloth tickets, and then put on new shoes.

Li Wen didn't throw away his old shoes. They were good things. His mother gave them to his uncle's eldest son, Wang Xiaolong, to wear them. Wang Xiaolong was very happy.

These are enough to show how difficult it is to own a pair of shoes in these days!

"These Jiefang shoes are great. The canvas is strong and durable. My eldest and second brothers will definitely like them. I will take the other two pairs back to my father and the others in a few days." Li Wen put the shoes into his satchel with a smile.

After locking the courtyard gate, Li Wen hurried home. There were no street lights in these days, and it was pitch dark at night, so no one who was timid dared to go out.

"You're back. What did your friend ask you to do? You've been gone for so long." Li Wu, who was building a wall in the yard, asked.

"Good thing! Brother, please stop and have a rest. The bangs are disturbing the people at night. I think the construction is almost done, and they will be capped when they come back tomorrow." Li Wen said, looking at the main body of the small house that was already more than two meters high.

"We were waiting for you, otherwise we would have stopped working long ago." Li Wu said and jumped down from the shelf.

"The wait is not in vain. You guys should wash up, there are good things waiting for you!" Li Wen patted his satchel and said with a smile.

"Let's see what good stuff it is." The two of them hurriedly finished washing and went to Li Wen's room.

"Look, these are labor protection rubber shoes!" Li Wen smiled and took out three pairs of shoes and put them on the kang.

"Jiefang shoes!" the two brothers exclaimed in unison. Seeing their surprised expressions, Li Wen was not surprised.

Jiefang shoes, military uniforms, and Lei Feng hats are synonymous with fashion in this era, and no one wants to own them. However, a pair of shoes is too expensive, costing five to ten yuan, and requires labor insurance shoe stamps.

The two looked at the Jiefang shoes with fondness, then hurriedly ran to the yard to wash their smelly feet before running in.

"These Jiefang shoes are so good." The two of them were wearing shoes, but they didn't dare to take them off the ground. They just walked up and down on Li Wen's kang, with happy smiles on their faces.

"I said enough is enough for you two! You put on your shoes and stepped on my mattress." Li Wen saw the two of them walking around and quickly stopped them.

"hey-hey!"

The two of them giggled and didn't say anything. They sat down and kept looking at the shoes on their feet.

"Hey! Where's your quilt, Awen?" At this time, Li Quan on the side saw that Li Wen's Kang was empty.

Looking at the confused looks of the two people, "I got some cotton and took it to my aunt and asked her to help me sew a new quilt." Li Wen explained with a smile.

"Brother, you still have the ability." Li Wu smiled and patted Li Wen on the shoulder. Then the two of them laughed and discussed the Jiefang shoes on their feet.

"You two, hurry up and leave. I still have to sleep. It's just a pair of shoes. I'll make you sneeze." Li Wen looked at the two of them with disdain.

"You know nothing!" The two of them carefully got off the kang, neither of them daring to jump. Li Wen was really speechless.

At night, Li Wen slept covered with a military coat. The military coat weighed two to three kilograms and was no different from a quilt.

"It's another beautiful day!" Li Wen got up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning.

After washing up, Li Wen began to prepare breakfast. Li Wu and Li Wu ate all the leftover dishes from yesterday as breakfast, and there was still a little rice left.

Li Wen got some water from the water tank and poured it into the rice to make rice soup. He ate a delicious meal with the steamed buns and braised pork taken out from the space.

After sorting out the manuscripts he had saved over the winter, Li Wen is going to mail them out today.

Because he wants to publish a book, it will definitely take a long time. Li Wen is afraid of long nights and many dreams, so it is better to earn money as early as possible. In this era, as long as major newspapers and periodicals publish works, authors have a hard time making money!

Li Wen had seen the news before. Great writers like Laoshe and Bajin could earn tens of thousands of yuan from a best-selling book. They bought the courtyard houses in the second ring road of Beijing whenever they wanted. They were extremely proud.

When he came to the post office, Li Wen bought an envelope, affixed an eight-cent stamp, and left with a smile amidst the curiosity of the post office girl.

Zheng Kai gave Li Wen quite a lot of cloth tickets yesterday. Li Wen planned to buy some cloth and go to Erya's house to have a look today. The tattered clothes and straw sandals Erya wore that day left a deep impression on Li Wen.

When he came to the supply and marketing cooperative store, Li Wen calculated the size of the cloth he needed based on the population of Erya's family. With cloth tickets and three yuan, he bought a fifteen-foot piece of home-made cloth.

This kind of homespun fabric is a favorite fabric among the locals. It is strong and durable and will not shrink after washing. It is much more practical than beautiful machine-woven foreign fabrics.

We walked around the store and bought some daily necessities such as seasonings and soaps that Erya's family was in urgent need of, and then left.

Today Li Wen was carrying a large backpack. In addition to the cloth and daily necessities he just bought, there were also ten kilograms of cornmeal and twenty kilograms of potatoes in the backpack.
