On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Second brother, do you think we can still buy candies?" Su Xiaosi asked.
Su Nanbing didn't want his fourth brother to have too much hope, so he shook his head, "I don't think we can buy it anymore."
"Yes, the most people buy new year's goods on New Year's Eve..." He curled his lips and said with a sad look, "Without candy to eat at night, I feel that the happiness of the New Year has been reduced by half."
Su Nanbing touched his fourth brother's head and said, "Mom said we will eat meat-filled dumplings at night. We will eat sweets after the Chinese New Year. Then I will give you one of my sweets."
"Really?" Su Xiaosi was surprised.
"Second brother, can I still lie to you?" Su Nanbing said with a smile.
Because they felt that the chance of buying new year's goods was low, the two brothers walked slowly, and it was already past nine in the morning when they finally reached the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Huh? How strange, why is there no one?"
Su Xiaosi stretched his head and looked inside. There was no one in the supply and marketing cooperative that should have been crowded.
His second brother was also puzzled, wondering if all the goods in the store were sold out? Wasn't this sold out too fast? Yesterday they were sold until evening.
"Sister saleswoman," Su Xiaosi still ran to the counter where the candy was sold yesterday and saw that the candy boxes on the shelves were full. "Are you selling that candy?"
"You are yesterday's little brother, right?" The salesperson recognized Su Xiaosi at a glance, then looked at Su Nanbing behind him, and said with a smile, "You are here to buy new year's goods again? You want a bag of fruit candies, right?"
The eyes of the two brothers from the Su family showed surprise at the same time, "Candies are still for sale?"
"Of course there are. You are my first customers today. Look, this box of new candies hasn't even been opened yet."
After hearing what the saleswoman said, Su Nanbing was surprised and surprised, "The first one?"
"Wow, wow, wow, that's great! We are the first guests!" Su Xiaosi jumped a few times in excitement, and then took his second brother's hand and jumped up and down, "Second brother, we are actually the first.
Yeah!"
"How is that possible? Today is New Year's Eve, and it's already so late..."
Regarding Su Nanbing's confusion, the salesperson also felt puzzled, "I thought there would be a line of people outside before the door opened, but I didn't expect that there was no one there today."
The salesperson at the counter next door said: "My aunt and sister-in-law said they would come at five in the morning to queue up to buy grain, oil and biscuits. I don't know what happened, but they didn't see a single person."
While chatting, Su Xiaosi muttered "Sister Salesperson" and wrapped a bag of fruit candies for him, "Little brother, I'll give you the candies. Do you want to buy anything else?"
"Half a catty of oil, half a catty of salt, two catties of Fuqiang flour, one catty of soybeans, two catties of mung beans, five catties of Xiaozhan rice..." Sunan Bing said as he put various food stamps, salt stamps, sugar stamps, flour stamps, etc.
Put it on the table.
After the salesperson weighed and packaged the items they wanted one by one, he calculated a total price.
After Su Nanbing paid the money, he and his fourth brother left the supply and marketing cooperative happily, carrying large and small bags of things.
They had only walked for less than a minute when suddenly a swarm of people ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative, and soon it was overcrowded.
"I'm in front of you. I came first. You stand behind me!"
"Obviously I am ahead of you..."
Startled by the large crowd that suddenly surrounded them, the store clerks were stunned for a moment and hurriedly organized the order, "Don't crowd, don't crowd, line up one by one, I'll write the number with chalk and buy in order."
"It's really unlucky. I was going to buy New Year's goods so early in the morning. I walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. I found that I forgot to bring my food stamps, so I had to go back and get them. Otherwise, I would have bought New Year's goods long ago." A person stood in the middle of the queue.
The aunt said loudly.
"I was even more unlucky. I woke up before dawn, and I couldn't find the food purchase certificate I had placed under my pillow. I rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find it, and finally found it in a mouse hole."
"My shoes were taken away by a wild cat that came out of nowhere! It was a ghost, and I was chased onto the roof barefoot..."
Everyone had different opinions, and they all said that they were unlucky and had been delayed by various things, so that they waited until now to queue up. "Oh, hurry up, I have to buy pork this afternoon."
When a large group of them were anxious to get angry, Su Nanbing and Su Xiaosi walked leisurely back to the family courtyard, thinking that they were so lucky today that they could be ranked first despite oversleeping.
"Xiaosi, what are you carrying?" A little girl stopped Su Xiaosi.
She is Yanzi who lives across from the Su family. Her name is He Xiaoyan. She has loved to play with Xiao Si since she could walk.
"Candy!" The little boy shook the bag in his hand proudly.
"Can you give me one?" The girl stretched out her dirty hands that had just been played with mud.
"If you want some candies, ask your parents to buy them. I just bought one bag. It's not enough." Su Xiaosi refused.
He Xiaoyan curled her lips in grievance, "My father's salary is low and he can't afford candy. Xiaosi, just give me a candy, okay?"
Su Xiaosi looked at the little girl in front of him who was a head shorter than him, then looked down at the yellow and green fruit candies in the bag, shook his head and said: "No, I don't have many. If I give you one, then I
There’s just one missing.”
Su Nanbing didn't like He Xiaoyan very much, so he walked around them and walked ahead, deliberately shouting, "Fourth brother, hurry up!"
"Here we come!" Su Xiaosi said and hurriedly followed his second brother.
He Xiaoyan stared at the candy in Xiao Si's hand, swallowed her saliva, and followed her.
The three children ran and jumped upstairs and soon returned to their home on the fourth floor.
"Mom, we bought new year's goods." The second child said loudly into the house.
Bai Lu was washing clothes when she heard her second son's voice. She quickly got up from the low bench and wiped her wet hands, "Why so fast? What did you buy? Did you buy any candy?"
"I bought sugar, as well as soybeans, mung beans, flour, rice, etc..."
Before Su Nanbing finished speaking, his fourth brother interrupted: "We are the first!"
"The first one?" Bai Lu didn't understand, "What's the first one?"
"He is the first customer to come to the supply and marketing cooperative, hahaha..."
"Really?" Bai Lu didn't believe it.
Su Xiaosi raised his chin proudly, "Of course it's true! When we walked into the store, there was no one inside. My second brother and I thought everything was sold out, but we didn't expect that the candies were still full.
"
His mother was surprised, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy new year's goods on New Year's Eve last year. There were so many people there that your dad and I couldn't even squeeze in. We waited outside the door for a long time..."
"It must be because of Sixth Sister!" Su Nanbing said suddenly.
"Jin Bao?" Bai Lu was puzzled, "What does the New Year's goods you bought have to do with Jin Bao?"
Su Xiaosi said: "Because our sixth sister cheered us on when we went out, we are so lucky."
His mother was amused by his cute words, "I didn't expect Jinbao's cheering to be so useful!"
"Mom, have you forgotten what grandma said when she came home last time? If our Su family can have a girl in the future, she will definitely be the reincarnation of the little lucky star, who will bring good luck to the whole family."
After listening to Xiaosi's words, Bai Lu remembered that her mother-in-law had indeed said something similar when she came to pick up Xiaowu two years ago, asking her to find a way to have another daughter with Jianmin...
"Little fool," Bai Lu touched Xiao Si's head, "That's what your grandma said. How can there be any reincarnation of a lucky star in this world?"
