Chapter 22 Seeing the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for the First Time
Xu Fengjiao was full of grievances, "I really saw a snake..."
She said, pushing her little daughter hard, "Meimei, talk to your dad."
Bai Mei was afraid of her father, lowered her head and said submissively: "I don't know, maybe I saw it wrong."
Hearing what his daughter said, Bai Ting was even more sure that Xu Fengjiao was going crazy, "Crazy woman!"
He didn't bother to look at her one more time, so he got up and walked straight out of the house.
"Bai Ting, where are you going? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, where are you going?"
Seeing that her husband left without looking back, Xu Fengjiao sat on the ground and cried loudly, "I haven't been home all day, and I haven't even been home to celebrate the New Year. Okay, then you should never go back to this house, wuwuwu..."
Xiao Jinbao doesn't know what happened at his uncle's house.
She was angry for a while, until her father took her to the supply and marketing cooperative.
This was the first time she had seen the supply and marketing cooperative since she was born, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Serve the People" are written high on the door screen in large red characters, and on the red strip below are printed the words "Trade Comprehensive Mall" and "Develop the Economy to Ensure Supply" in yellow.
The supply and marketing cooperative is very large, and the tall counter completely separates customers from salespeople.
The counter of the grocery store was crowded with people. Seeing this, Su Jianmin hurriedly handed Xiao Jinbao to the third child and said, "Wennian, please hold my sister down, and I'll take a number."
"Okay." Su Wennian hugged his sister tightly.
Xiao Jinbao's little body was nestled in the arms of his third brother, his little head resting on his shoulder, his big glass-like eyes rolling around, looking around, as if he was full of curiosity about everything.
"Yeah... Yeah Abba..."
She was like a little sparrow, chirping soft and cute baby talk.
Third brother, what is that? And the things in those jars... are they biscuits?
Looking to the side, there are bicycles, sewing machines, cloth, needlework, and everything for food and use.
The brother and sister waited for a long time before their father, Su Jianmin, squeezed out of the crowd. Compared with before entering, there was an extra number written in white chalk on the right sleeve of the blue shirt - "299".
"Oh, there are so many people! I thought I wouldn't have to wait long the day before New Year's Eve, so I wanted to take your sister out for a walk. I didn't expect the queue to be over 200 now. I don't know how many hours I have to wait..."
Su Jianmin was worried that Jinbao was hungry and needed milk, "Forget it, I won't buy it today. Let's come early tomorrow."
"Dad, you go back first with your sixth sister. I'll stay here and line up." Su Wenian said.
"This..." His father hesitated, "Can you do it alone?"
Su Wennian nodded, "I used to come here often to buy soy sauce for my mother. Besides, there will be more people coming to buy new year's goods tomorrow on New Year's Eve. Even if you get up early, you may not be able to buy them."
Su Jianmin thought about it and felt that what Lao San said made sense.
He handed the ticket and money to his son, then took off the coat with the number written on it to him, and finally hugged Jinbao, "You wait here first, I will take Jinbao home, and then I will come find you."
"
"Okay." Su Wennian took the ticket money and jacket and carefully put them in his hands as if he were protecting a treasure.
"Ah, Baba..." Xiao Jinbao was carried away from the supply and marketing cooperative by his father, and he looked at his third brother reluctantly, "Ababa..."
Hey, she really wants to grow up quickly! Then she can play with her brothers and make soy sauce together.
Su Jianmin took Jinbao home. He originally wanted to go back to find Lao San right away, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to go out, the factory leader knocked on the door and asked him to discuss the import of large-scale production equipment.
"Jianmin, you know better about this matter of imported equipment."
They talked in the house from morning to noon. Bai Lu was worried that the third brother was hungry, so she asked the eldest and second brother to bring two potatoes to find their third brother.
Su Xiaosi also wanted to go out with his brothers, but his mother stopped him and asked him to stay at home to play with his sister.
"Jinbao, how many bags of candies do you think the third brother will buy?" Su Xiaosi pulled up a small stool and sat opposite her sister.
Little Jinbao said "Ababa" several times, then patted the soft mattress and shook his head.
"I guess it's four bags, eldest brother, second brother, third brother and me, one bag each." Su Xiaosi swallowed her saliva, "Jinbao, you don't know how to eat sweets yet, so you don't have to wait until you grow up."
Get some sugar."
Bai Lu laughed at her fourth son, "What a greedy little boy. He still wants to eat a bag of candy each."
"Dad bought a small bag of candies last year, but I only got three. He promised to give each person a bag of candies during the Chinese New Year this year."
"Really? Why haven't I heard your father say that?" Bai Lu told Xiaosi with a smile, picked up Xiao Jinbao and asked her if she was hungry.
The little baby vomited a few indistinct baby words like "squeezing milk" and then began to drink milk obediently.
Su Xiaosi glanced out the window, pouted and said: "Mom, Jinbao is going to bed after drinking. I feel so bored staying at home alone. I want to go find Third Brother and the others..."
Bai Lu was afraid that Jinbao would choke on the milk, so she gently held it on her back.
"Mom, I have to go find Third Brother and the others. I can also help them carry their things..."
Her ears hurt from being so noisy by her son, Bai Lu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead, just go to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative, don't go too far, you know?"
"Okay!" Su Xiaosi jumped for joy.
Not long after he walked out of the door, he met Uncle Xu's wife and daughter next door.
Thinking of the previous slap he received from Lin Yulan, he puffed up his mouth angrily, "Humph!"
Although several months have passed, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years...
Su Xiaosi thought of this, ran under the tree and picked up several shriveled tree cores, then secretly followed Lin Yulan, reached the corner, raised his hand and threw them on her head.
"Ouch..." Lin Yulan covered the back of her head, "Who is it?"
"Mom, what are you doing?" her daughter Xu Damei said impatiently, "Let's leave quickly. It's already very late. Don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. All candies and biscuits are sold out."
"Eat, eat, eat, just eat. Didn't you see your mother was hit on the head?"
Xu Damei rolled her eyes and muttered in disgust, "Who hit you? Are you thinking too much?"
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Lin Yulan felt more and more that it was useless to have a daughter.
Although the boys from the Su family are a bit naughty, they still know how to find people for help when something happens to their parents. What about my daughter? Tsk tsk, I’m afraid there’s no hope at all...
"Ouch!" Lin Yulan was hit on the head again. The pain caused Lin Yulan's adrenaline to surge and she yelled, "Which bastard bastard throws fruit cores on someone's head?"
"Pfft hahaha..." Su Xiaosi hid behind the wall and snickered.
Lin Yulan looked around but couldn't find anyone, so she continued to curse a lot of swear words from a distance.
Passersby looked sideways and pointed at her, feeling that it was really uncivilized for her to curse in public.
Xu Damei thought she was embarrassed and stamped her feet, "If you don't leave, I will leave alone."
Seeing her daughter walking away, Lin Yulan gave up looking for the person who stole the fruit core to hit her, and hurriedly caught up, "Hey, Damei, slow down, you don't have a ticket, can you buy something if you walk so fast? Wait for me..."
