"Ouch..."

Zhou Ran screamed miserably.

Fortunately, he has rough skin and thick flesh, otherwise he would have been beaten badly.

Seeing that Zhou Ran had fallen, Zhou Qingzhi got out of the car anxiously.

He just thought of climbing on the tractor first, and then reaching out to pull Zhou Ran.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran climbed up on his own and fell down.

Zhou Qingzhi's face was full of distress and self-blame. He should have said hello to his little sister earlier.

There were still people sitting on the tractor at this time.

In addition to the person in charge of each production team who went to the county town to pick up the educated youth, there were also people who took the bus to the county town to buy things.

Several middle-aged women among them burst into laughter when they saw Zhou Ran fall.

Seeing someone laughing at Zhou Ran, Zhou Qingzhi suddenly lost his temper and said coldly, "You think it's fun to watch other people's jokes? The secretary told us members to unite and help each other, and didn't ask you to help others, but there is no need to add insult to injury like this.

, are you watching other people’s jokes?

Auntie, it’s a good thing that there are no people from other communes on the tractor today. Otherwise, if you see the members in difficulty and you don’t help but laugh at them, this is a sign of disunity. If others poke it, it will affect our commune’s annual selection and evaluation of excellence.

"

When Zhou Qingzhi was given such a big hat, the women who had originally laughed at Zhou Ran were so frightened that they quickly shut up.

If this really affects the commune's selection and evaluation, the secretary must not pull them out to criticize and educate them.

Zhou Ran looked at Zhou Qingzhi with admiration. Brother Zhou looked like a warm man in front of her. She didn't expect that he could be so powerful in quarreling with others.

As an orphan, Zhou Qingzhi feels that it feels good to be protected by his brother.

She remembered that in the original book, because of this vicious female supporting character, several brothers of the Zhou family also ended up very miserable. She replaced the original owner. She must change the fate of the brothers of the Zhou family.

After Zhou Qingzhi finished speaking, he quickly helped Zhou Ran up, and then asked nervously, "Little sister, how are you? Are you okay? Is it hurt from the fall?"

Zhou Ran waved his hands and said, "No, fourth brother, it's okay. The fall wasn't heavy and it doesn't hurt."

Zhou Qingzhi was still worried, and after checking that Zhou Ran was indeed not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay."

As he said that, Zhou Qingzhi got on the tractor first, and with Zhou Qingzhi’s help, Zhou Ran got on it.

Because of Zhou Qingzhi's lecture just now, those aunts did not dare to openly laugh at Zhou Ran, but their eyes could still see the mockery towards Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran is now even more determined to lose weight. She is now like a pig with limp limbs. If she continues to gain weight like this, she will not dare to go out to meet people.

After the two of them got on the truck, the tractor started off again.

It was the first time Zhou Ran rode this kind of tractor, and he was quite shaken.

It's probably because the original owner's body got used to it and luckily he didn't vomit.

The tractor drove for an hour before arriving at the county town.

The tractor went straight to the county's educated youth office.

However, this group of educated youths who came here have not arrived yet, so they will wait here for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhou Qingzhi planned to take Zhou Ran to a supply and marketing cooperative and a grocery store.

Whenever he came to the county town in the past, Zhou Ran's favorite thing was to visit the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some delicious food.

Zhou Ran discovered that the county towns of this era were also very backward, not even comparable to the towns of the 21st century.

The road is a crossroads and has many potholes.

Most of the county towns are bungalows, and occasionally two-story buildings can be seen.

Facing the street are some stores, including supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores, grain stations, post offices, state-owned hotels, etc.

The county town is not big, and the grocery stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are not far apart.

Zhou Qingzhi first took Zhou Ran to the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to buy meat.

But I came a little late today, so I don’t know if I can still buy it.

Fortunately, I'm lucky, the grocery store still supplies meat.

Zhou Qingzhi went over and thought the meat was pretty good. It was pork belly, not pure lean meat.

Although you can't buy big fat meat, it's good to be able to buy pork belly.

"Comrade, please weigh a pound of pork for me." Zhou Qingzhi said, handing over eighty cents and a pound of meat coupons.

Zhou Ran observed the prices of items in the grocery store and lamented that the prices at this time were really low.

Rice costs 13 cents per catty, white flour costs 12 cents, and whole grains only cost a few cents. Vegetables are even cheaper, such as white radish, which costs two cents per catty, and Chinese cabbage, which costs three cents per catty.

Eggs are more expensive, costing 60 cents a pound, meat 80 cents, and fish only 2 cents.

Although things are cheap, wages in this era are also low. Generally speaking, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the city is about thirty yuan.

Because of the shortage of supplies, everything needs to be supplied by ticket.

Without a ticket, you can't buy anything even if you have money.

The staff took the money and tickets and gave Zhou Qingzhi a pound of pork.

After buying meat, Zhou Qingzhi took Zhou Ran to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative is not big, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things inside. There are two waiters in total.

Seeing Zhou Ran and Zhou Qingzhi coming over, he asked lazily, "What do you want to buy?"

Zhou Qingzhi looked at Zhou Ran and asked, "Little sister, do you think there is anything you want to buy? I want it."

"Let me consider."

The supply and marketing cooperative is like a grocery store, with a lot of daily necessities, and also sells some snacks, tobacco, alcohol and the like.

Shopping here also requires money and tickets.

After looking around, Zhou Ran found that there was nothing he needed, so he said to Zhou Qingzhi, "Fourth brother, I don't need anything, let's go back."

Zhou Qingzhi thought Zhou Ran was reluctant to spend money and said, "Ranran, you used to like to buy peach cakes every time you came to the county. Why don't you buy peach cakes today?"

Mom has already given us money and tickets. It’s a rare time for us to come here. If we don’t need anything, we’ll just buy some peach cakes and go back.”

After saying that, Zhou Qingzhi said to the salesperson in the store, "Comrade, bring me a pound of peach cake."

The salesperson took out a pack of peach cakes, which weighed one kilogram in total, and handed it to Zhou Qingzhi, "It's fifty cents, and a kilogram of pastry stamps, food stamps are also fine."

Zhou Qingzhi quickly took out the money and tickets from his pocket, handed them to the salesperson, and then took the peach cake.

"Little sister, take it and eat it." Zhou Qingzhi handed the peach cake to Zhou Ran's hand and said.

Zhou Ran is not the original owner and has no great interest in Taosu.

Especially a pound of peach cake is really not cheap. For 50 cents, you can almost buy a pound of eggs.

Speaking of which, the Zhou family was really willing to give up on the original owner.

We are so poor in this era, so I give her all the money I save to buy her delicious food.

The rest of the Zhou family were so stunned that they couldn't bear to eat or drink.

Zhou Ran is not the original owner and cannot be so selfish.

Thinking like this, Zhou Ran said, "Fourth brother, I don't like eating peach cakes now. Don't buy it this time. Please return it."

With that said, Zhou Ran put the peach cake on the counter and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, please return it to me."

When the salesperson heard Zhou Ran said to return the product, her nose was not a nose and her face was not a face.
