Chapter 46 46. Hanging out
In addition to visiting Qinghe City, Lin Qingxi also took everyone to visit the school where Lin Yizheng and the others studied, so that they could familiarize themselves with the terrain and avoid having to eat when they went to school.
After visiting the school, Lin Qingxi took everyone to the photo studio to take pictures. Everyone took a group photo, and then took a group photo with Zhou Jin and his wife, and a photo of the two of them alone.
After taking pictures, it was already noon. Lin Qingxi was too lazy to go home to cook, so she took Zhou Jin and the others to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
"Comrade, are all the dishes here available?" Lin Qingxi settled down with Zhou Jin and the others, found a seat, and then went to the window to order.
"Yes, what do you want?" The comrade who ordered the food was a lady in her thirties, who seemed quite friendly.
"One braised pork, one braised fish, and here's an egg and lean meat soup, seven bowls of beef noodles and four steamed buns," Lin Qingxi scanned the menu and saw beef noodles, and couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
"Okay, fifteen yuan and eight cents and five kilograms and sixty taels of food stamps and one kilogram of meat stamps," Comrade Sister said as she wrote it down on the board. After writing, she handed the board to the people in the kitchen to prepare it.
Lin Qingxi didn't say anything when she heard this. She just counted out the corresponding money and tickets and handed them over. She took the queue number handed to her by her eldest sister and comrade, and went to Lin Yizheng's place to sit down and wait.
"Girl Xi, what did you order? Don't order too much, let's just deal with a few bites," Zhou Jin said in a low voice while pulling Lin Qingxi. Although she was illiterate, she also knew that food in state-owned restaurants was very expensive.
Farmers like them would probably not be able to get a decent meal here after working in the fields for a year.
"We didn't order much. We each had a bowl of noodles, and then we ordered braised pork, fish and lean meat soup. Since you're here to eat, don't worry. I'll invite you to a state-owned restaurant for your granddaughter to have a meal."
It's okay," Lin Qingxi said in the same low voice.
She had known for a long time how her grandfather and grandmother were. They were very stingy towards her, but they were very generous and willing to treat the younger members of the family.
"Okay, stop talking. Children have their own ideas and plans," Zhou Daye stopped Zhou Jinshi and interrupted what she wanted to say.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little tense, but fortunately, the beef noodles were ready soon, and Lin Qingxi took the Lin Yizheng brothers to serve the beef noodles.
As soon as the beef noodles were served, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Even the youngest Xiang Yikang could eat it by himself. Everyone just ate the beef noodles placed in front of them.
The beef noodles were not finished yet. The remaining braised pork, fish, soup and steamed buns were ready. Lin Qingxi brought them to the table. Everyone who still had room in their stomachs continued to eat, even Xiang Yijing and his brother, Xiang Yijing.
I ordered a small bowl of soup and two pieces of braised pork.
Both Zhou Jin and Zhou Daye have great appetites. They ended up using steamed buns dipped in gravy and there was nothing left.
After eating and drinking, Lin Qingxi led everyone slowly towards the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Jin was overwhelmed by the "prosperity" and various things in the supply and marketing cooperative.
.
Although Zhou Daye and Zhou Jin are over sixty, the furthest they have ever traveled has never been outside Qinghe City, and Zhou Jin has never even been out of Qingyan County.
"Grandma, you and my grandpa will take Yijing and his brother around for a while. I will take Yizheng and Yirong to buy some daily necessities. I will come to you after buying them."
Although there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative today, Lin Qingxi was still worried about Zhou Jin and the others, so she planned to ask Xiang Yijing and her brother to follow them, while she took Lin Yizheng and her brother shopping.
"Yizheng, Yirong, take a look at what you need to buy at home. My aunt is going to buy you toothpaste and toothbrushes over there. If you like it, go and ask your aunt to come over." Lin Qingxi thought that the two brothers were no longer young.
, intending to train them, she asked them to go shopping on their own, and she went to the counter on the other side to buy toothpaste and toothbrushes.
In this day and age, some large supply and marketing cooperatives do sell toothpaste and toothbrushes, but they are very expensive and most people will not buy them. Those who come to buy toothbrushes and toothpaste are all workers and cadres.
After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she left the basket with Lin Yizheng and walked to the counter next door. She looked at it and saw that an industrial coupon plus one yuan could buy two toothbrushes. There was no fee for toothpaste, but it cost fifty cents a tube, which was very expensive.
A small tube.
"Comrade, please give me twenty toothbrushes and three cans of toothpaste." It's not that Lin Qingxi wants to buy so many, and each of their family of five needs two toothbrushes, because the family in Qinghe City and the family in Zhoujiacun are definitely
She wanted to put one toothbrush each, and the remaining ten toothbrushes were divided between three of Zhou Minghui's brothers. She planned to keep the others at home for later use.
"Okay, ten industrial coupons plus eleven dollars and a half," the comrade selling the goods said as he took out the toothbrush and toothpaste Lin Qingxi asked for and put it on the counter.
Lin Qingxi took out the money and tickets without saying a word. After paying the money and tickets, Lin Qingxi went to meet Lin Yizheng and the others. The two brothers looked at the items on the counter and finally decided to buy ten
This notebook and ten pens, each of the four siblings had two pens and two notebooks. The remaining two pens and two notebooks were bought for Lin Qingxi so that she could take notes at home.
Lin Qingxi was very touched by Lin Yizheng's actions. After paying the money, Lin Qingxi put all the things in the basket Lin Yizheng was carrying, and bought a few towels, ten lunch boxes and ceramic cups, and bought good things.
Afterwards, they went to the first floor to meet Zhou Daye and the others.
"Grandma, grandpa, what do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you," Lin Qingxi walked to Zhou Jin with a smile and held her arm intimately.
"There is nothing to buy. I just want to buy a pair of those woolen socks for your grandpa. When he was young, your grandpa always worked in the fields regardless of whether it was cold or hot. His legs were frozen."
When Zhou Jin recalled her youth, she couldn't help but feel a little sweet about being young. Overall, Zhou Daye was a rare good man. He was not only kind to her, but also responsible and responsible to the Gu family.
"Grandma, woolen socks are not always warm. Let's buy two kilograms of wool thread to knit our own socks!" Lin Qingxi said, holding Zhou Jin's hand and walking towards the counter where she bought wool and cloth.
"Hello, comrade, what do you want?" As soon as the two of them stopped, they heard the staff at the counter ask.
"Comrade, how do you sell your gray woolen yarn? Can it be used to knit socks?" Lin Qingxi took a liking to this woolen yarn at a glance. If the price was right, she would buy more and knit two more pairs of socks for Lin Qingping and the others.
The couple sent it.
"This is a new model. It costs three yuan per pound, but no tickets are required. Do you want it?" After hearing Lin Qingxi's words, the comrade didn't know what to say. He wanted to continue selling, but he was worried about Lin Qing.
Xi was reluctant to buy it.
