Zhao Xiaoyun really envied Chen Miao, and was also very curious about the outside world.
"Auntie, you're not angry, are you?"
"Are you talking about Jianlin? My mother-in-law shed tears yesterday, but she looked fine this morning.
In fact, Jianlin has wanted to go out for a long time, but my father-in-law didn't want to. This time, this guy has his own way."
Chen Miao nodded. Shen Jianlin seized this opportunity, but he didn't know what the outcome would be.
"Will you go when I go to town tomorrow?"
"What were you doing when you just came back?"
"Before I left, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop said to buy some goods, go and see if they have any. Anyway, there is no spring planting yet, so I will take advantage of this time to make some cotton clothes and shoes.
I also saw what a cotton hat looks like, it would be great if it could be made."
"Okay, can you take our mother with you?"
"Okay. I'll also ask the school in the town. Chen Tong wants to go to school."
"It's a good thing, but it's too far. How long does it take to walk every day?"
"It's quite far. But the closest one to us is the school in the town."
"Zhong, our mother-in-law will come to see you tomorrow morning. I'm going back to cook. My mother-in-law said we would eat dumplings today."
"Let the two children stay?"
"Farewell. Jiaojiao said she has wanted to eat dumplings for a long time."
At noon, Niangsan made steamed buns with three fresh fillings. The two children were very satisfied with the meal.
Shen's cabbage and meat dumplings. Shen Wufu sighed, "This life is really good. It's worth living such a life in my life."
"Dad, is it better in the liberated area than here?"
"I think it's about the same. I still think life here is good."
Shen Wufu's golden nest and silver nest are not as good as his own straw nest, he just thinks that it is better here at home.
After dinner, Shen Wufu went to see Master Shen Liu and talked about what had happened over the past ten days.
"Uncle Liu, I'm really afraid that Xiaofeng's wife will stay at the station. I want to bring the two children back to raise her."
"That girl won't agree."
"Yes, she watches the two children too closely."
"This is a good thing." Mr. Shen Liu is also literate, and he smiled when he saw the commendation letter from his leader.
He said to himself, "If there is a good harvest this year, we will prepare food for the team."
Shen Wufu sighed, "Uncle Liu, it didn't snow in winter. If it doesn't rain again, it will be over this year."
Shen Liuye neatly folded it and put it in an envelope and handed it to Shen Wufu, "Put it away. Let's take a look. We need to plant more sweet potato seedlings at home. If it doesn't look good, plant more sweet potatoes."
"Well, I've already raised them at home, but I didn't look very good along the way. I even heard that it didn't snow heavily over there in the base area."
"There is no perfect path for man, no matter how hungry he is, he will be blind."
Zhao Xiaoyun took the two children to Chen Miao's house. Their mother had already packed up, and the donkey cart was already hitched and waiting for them.
The children are most happy to be able to go out and play together. Chen Miao is really anxious. We can't farm yet in Kaihua. Every family has a lot of work during this period. Let's seize the time to do it. This year can be calmer. I'm afraid next year
That was the hardest year.
The town is still quite lively. There are young people with progressive ideas giving speeches in the early morning, which is also a good thing. Ordinary people don't know much. Although young people don't know much, they have firm ideas and can make up stories, but that's not the case.
Inseparable.
With their constant publicity, it can be said that everyone has become more aware of it.
"Several comrades from Xiaofeng's family went to our village to promote it. They also praised our ideological progress."
Chen Miao smiled. In fact, all people who have been persecuted feel the same. They are looking forward to destroying the little devils and know little about external things. They just want to live a stable life.
They have not lived a good life. Even if they let their imagination run wild, their imagination is limited. Someone needs to draw a beautiful blueprint for them.
When the donkey cart stopped at the gate of Buzhuang, it was liberated, and the business was just like that. The main reason was that the people did not have the idea of spending money blindly.
The shopkeeper smiled when he saw Chen Miao coming in. "The little girl is here."
"Uncle, have the cotton and cloth arrived?"
"We're here. I was wondering why you haven't come over for so long."
Chen Miao smiled and did not answer. This time it can be said that she bought four-fifths of the cotton and cloth from the cloth store.
"Uncle, I want to make cotton shoes. But the soles of these shoes are so tight that I can't help but wear them. Are there any good ones?"
"Little girl, wait a minute." The shopkeeper said and ran to the backyard. After a while, he came over with a pair of rubber shoes.
"Little girl, these are rubber shoes. Look, I think the soles of these shoes won't break even after two years of wearing them."
Chen Miao looked at the rubber shoes in his hand and smiled, "Uncle, these are really good things. I bought a scrap tire belt in the county last year, which is similar to this.
Uncle, where can I buy these shoe soles?”
"Little girl, this was brought back from the south. They have this kind of factory there. It used to be owned by foreigners and was bought by wealthy local businessmen."
Chen Miao frowned. "Uncle, has it been liberated over there?"
"I heard that half of the country has been liberated. It should be soon."
Chen Miao kept looking at the rubber shoes. "Uncle, how much do these shoes cost?"
"One hundred articles."
"It's really not cheap." Chen Miao took a breath.
"Yeah, I think the soles of the shoes are probably too expensive."
"Uncle, do you know the specific address of the factory that produces shoe soles?"
"Little girl, what are you doing?" The shopkeeper was very surprised.
"Uncle, this is definitely a good thing. I want to go check it out and buy some more."
The shopkeeper's eyes were red: "Little girl, I know the approximate location. Don't worry, I'll ask you."
Chen Miao nodded, "Uncle, can you sell these shoes to me? I want to go back and show them to the elderly."
Zhao Xiaoyun came over to look at it, and she took one and looked through it. She muttered that this was really a good thing.
"Little girl, I give you these shoes. They were given to me by someone else."
Chen Miao shook his head, "Uncle, let's do this. I'll take it back and take a look at it before sending it back to you."
"No, no, no." The shopkeeper waved his hand quickly.
After settling the bill, the waiter has already loaded the car. It can be said that the car is full.
Zhao Xiaoyun was really scared as she watched Chen Miao give the money. So much money? She was too daring to spend money.
On the way, Chen Miao bought meat buns for her four children, thinking that she should take the children to play for a while before buying cloth.
The children were satisfied as long as they had food to eat. Zhao Xiaoyun took the four children and sat on the cloth and told them not to drop any scum.
As Chen Miao drove the car, she was thinking about the rubber soles. It would be best to go there and buy them by herself. She still had a lot of gold and silver in her hands. What was the use of keeping them if she didn't spend them preparing supplies for the soldiers?
But it's too far in the south, and I'm afraid there might be some danger on the road.
No, go back quickly and go to the county to find Zhao Erniu in the afternoon to see Zeng Ziwen. Can you give yourself some convenience on the way back? Can you send someone to escort you back? Anyway, I have to go to the south anyway.
