"Oh, Dad, why do you have to think so much?
It is obvious that Tie Zhu's descendants from another world decades later sent these things here with the help of Tie Zhu's soul and the refrigerator.
So what Tie Zhu said before is no problem.
It was something sent by his son and daughter-in-law.
Let’s just use it without worry. Don’t think too much about other things. Anyway, it was sent by your descendants, so you can enjoy the blessings of future generations in advance. At worst, when they are born, you can give them more New Year’s money. ! "
Although Li Sanfei has the most imagination, he is also the most enlightened. Why do he think so much? Since these things did not come out of nowhere or were stolen, but were sent by real descendants, there is nothing that cannot be used.
Just use it with confidence!
Even if he was embarrassed, it was because he, Li Sanfei and Li Dafei should be embarrassed. After all, they were only Li Zhu's uncles and uncles, and could not be considered his direct elders.
That is to say, there is no separation now, so I am embarrassed to take advantage of it.
It would be really embarrassing if the families were separated.
But Li Shan didn't think so. He sighed deeply before expressing his worries:
"Alas! No matter who they are or how close their relationship is, many things in this world still require courtesy. The two of them are just Tie Zhu's son and daughter-in-law sixty years later, and Tie Zhu has passed away. How long can this relationship last?
What's more, it's still a unilateral contribution from that side.
Seeing that there are no seeds, it is obvious that although Tiezhu's daughter-in-law has sent a lot of things, she actually wants us to be self-reliant and not ask for anything from them in the future. So, don't think that with so much rice, flour, oil and salt, you can As long as we can relax, we have to pretend that we don't have these things and continue to do what we need to do, do you understand?
Tie Zhu, if you can communicate with them, don't frequently ask for things from your son and daughter-in-law, unless your family is really unable to survive in the future. This kind of favor becomes thinner the more you use it, you have to use it wisely, understand? ? "
This idea was derived from Li Shan knowing from his grandson that he could only send things over from the other side, but there was no way to send things over here. He also thought about why he sent so many seeds this time and concluded it.
If they can reciprocate with courtesy, even if they don't have anything good here, sending some home-dried wild vegetables or picked-up nuts is still a sign of lightness of courtesy but weight of affection.
He even went to the black market to exchange polished rice and noodles for some silver coins or jade jewelry, and gave them to the other side.
It should also be a good choice.
After all, the children and grandchildren across the street can send so much food, so there should be no shortage of food there, and once food and clothing are settled, some of the jewelry that is not very valuable now may become valuable in a few decades.
When there were no restrictions on food purchases a few decades ago, although food prices were relatively high, the prices of gold, silver, and jade jewelry were not low. If the world over there could send so much food, obviously there must have been no restrictions on food purchases there. Therefore, if two-way transactions can be carried out, he will not be too guilty, thinking that taking advantage of others and reselling back and forth should be a mutually beneficial thing.
But now it can only be accepted in one direction.
Then there is no other way. You must work hard to restrain yourself, not ask for too much, and not use this favor lightly.
At the same time, he also told his three sons to explain the situation to them and not to think of relying on him. At the same time, he also told Tie Zhu not to take the initiative to ask for things from there.
Then, just as Tie Zhu nodded to express his understanding, things suddenly started falling next to him, but this time it was not rice, flour, or grains, but a lot of unrecognizable, gaudy snacks, and some more. Soaps, shower gels, face creams, body lotions, and even some facial tissues and wet wipes.
At the same time, Qu Jie passed on the message:
"These are the things your grandson and granddaughter gave you. They are usually prone to impulsive spending. In order to get the best deal, they bought a lot of things. Those snacks are all snacks that they didn't like after tasting them, or they got tired of them. , soaps, shower gels, face creams, body lotions, etc. are all about to expire.
Tissues and wipes
Same thing.
I bought it on Double Eleven the year before last, but I haven’t used it up yet. Try your best to help them digest it. With such a pair of grandchildren here, you won’t be short of these things in the future. Anyway, I won’t give them to you now. They Either try to give it away before it expires, or throw it away after it expires, so don’t feel any burden! "
After saying that, Qu Jie also guided Li Zhu to classify the pile of things next to him, and also told him how to read the date and how long it would take to expire.
Li Zhu, who was obediently sorting, also hurriedly relayed what Qu Jie said loudly, so that his family could know what the things just delivered were, what their specific functions were, or how to eat and use them.
And which ones are about to expire, you should eat them quickly, use them quickly, and which ones can be put away again, so don’t be in a hurry.
After all the things were sorted and he roughly knew what those piles of things were used for, Li Sanfei couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my god, Tiezhu, are you going to become some kind of landlord in the future?" You're a capitalist? How can you be so rich?"
"With all these good things, I feel like the former landowner in our village didn't live as well as your grandson and granddaughter. It's not that they didn't, but they were far worse.
I have seen this soap at a supply and marketing cooperative. Not only does it cost soap tickets, but it also costs more than one yuan. Your grandson actually bought a box of it. It has various fragrances. Then there is this shower gel for bathing, and this scrub. The ointment is also for bathing, as well as bath oil. This body must be so expensive. It requires so many things to take a bath. I feel that the Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty whom I heard from the storyteller was not so troublesome and luxurious.
There is also sugar, so much, including fruit candies, milk candies, chocolate candies, and sandwich candies. Oh my, I can’t even remember the names of some candies. They add up to a lot of kilograms. I said I bought them during the Chinese New Year. It’s too much to eat, it’s terrible, it’s such a waste. "
Previously, they only sent some rice, flour, oil and grain, although they also thought that Tiezhu's son and daughter-in-law across the street were quite wealthy and could send so much rice, flour, oil and grain.
But at that time, they just thought that Tiezhu's son and daughter-in-law had some money and had channels to buy food. Some wealthy households in their village could do this twenty or thirty years ago. That kind of wealth was as rich as they could imagine.
Surprised, but not too surprised.
But this time, Li Fan and Li Lan brought these items that were about to expire in order to clear their inventory. It can be said that everything was a shock to them, not to mention the things they didn't recognize, but the things they knew. , they had only seen it at the supply and marketing cooperative, but had never been willing to buy it, or even if they had bought it, it was only a small amount during the holidays.
For example, when it comes to fruit candies, it is really only during the Chinese New Year that people are willing to spend a dime to buy so many fruit candies, and each of the children can share one or two candies.
Moreover, the fruit candies they bought were not as big or good-looking as the endless fruit candies that Li Fan and the others sent.
Beautifully packaged!
The remaining things that they have never seen or heard of do not affect them at all. They feel that these things are very high-end and cannot be afforded by them.
At this moment, most of the people present had this thought in their minds, but Li Sanfei said it outright. Then, the next second he received another loving slap from his own father, and a low growl:
"You don't have a handle on your mouth anymore. I've made you mute. Do you believe it or not? Landlords and rich people can talk about things like this casually. Some people eat and drink, so you can just snicker.
Don't just open your mouth to talk nonsense. "
After saying that, he turned to look at the others: "It's the same with you, please keep your mouth shut. Just pretend you haven't seen these things, or try them in private. If you can sell them, you'd better find a way to sell them later." , it’s such a waste to eat and use it like this.”
At this time, many people are like this. Even if they get some good things occasionally, they feel that they are not worthy of eating these things or using these things. They have to exchange them for cheap things. Just use the cheap things. .
Exquisite and easy to use, far less filling than large quantities.
"Grandpa, that voice just spoke to me again. He said that my grandchildren
My daughter is not a landlord or a capitalist. She said that my grandson is just an ordinary office worker. He gets a salary from work. His granddaughter is still in school, and he only gets some living expenses every month and a red envelope for the Chinese New Year.
Most people get on with their lives.
They can afford it because these things are not expensive after more than sixty years, at least compared to their family's income, they are definitely not expensive, they are very cheap!
From now on everyone can live like this. "
When he said this, Xiao Li Zhu's pupils couldn't help but shine a little. If he could live like that in the future, how happy he would be, wouldn't he enjoy it like a god?
At the same time, he was not the only one whose eyes and pupils were shining brightly. When everyone present heard this, almost everyone smiled with longing on their faces. It was Li Sanfei who muttered inappropriately:
"We may not be able to survive until then.
More than sixty years later, even if I want to live more than sixty years later, I have to live to be in my nineties.
If dad wants to live until then, he has to live to be more than a hundred years old. Dad, why don't you try these things one by one. I guess you won't be able to wait. It's best to let us try it too, while the other children It doesn't matter.
They should be able to survive until then. "
Although this was the truth, it was really disappointing to say it suddenly at this time. Needless to say, Li Sanfei was slapped by his own father again before he shut up.
Afterwards, everyone was obviously not in the mood to continue the discussion, or to fantasize about the future. After all, Li Sanfei's words were rough and unreasonable. How many of them could survive more than sixty years later? No matter how good their future life was, it had nothing to do with them, so it had nothing to do with them. There is no need to discuss this.
If you have this time, why not carefully examine the things that Tie Zhu’s grandson and granddaughter sent over? Which ones can be sold, which ones can be properly unpacked and sold, and which ones can’t be sold out. Sell, only keep what you use at home!
The future is too uncertain.
You still have to live in the present!
For several days after that, the Li family was very busy. They even took a few days off and gave up a few days of work-point income. They got up at around three o'clock every morning, bringing packed snacks and some supplies that could be sold.
Go to the black market in town and sell it.
It is really difficult to exchange those things for coupons and money. As for food, it is really difficult to exchange because everyone is generally short of food these days. Food is more of a hard currency than coupons and money, and generally speaking, it may be in hand. Ordinary people or hunters who have saved some food are reluctant to exchange food for snacks and the like.
People who are willing to exchange snacks for snacks are also short of food.
There is no shortage of money or other bills.
Of course, if they spend more time, those snacks and daily necessities can actually be exchanged for food, but Li Shan and the others don't have that much time. In order to get rid of the things as soon as possible, they can only agree to exchange them with money and coupons.
After the exchange, I hurried back.
After three or five days of this, the only things left that Li Fan and Li Lan sent over were some shower gel, essential oil, sea salt scrub and bath oil, which were not replaced.
There was no way, they had never seen these things before, and they couldn't sell them on the market. Even if Qu Jie hadn't specially reminded them that the sea salt in the essential oil sea salt scrub couldn't be eaten, the essential oils couldn't be eaten, and the bath oil couldn't be used as oil. Maybe they just used it.
Selling such a special item is too conspicuous.
So they can only keep it for their own use.
But not to mention, the women at home are quite happy after using it. They feel that they have never been so fragrant, they have never been washed so clean, and their skin has never been so tender. In order to avoid one person using too much, others People were at a disadvantage, so they even found a lot of bottles and divided the daily chemical products equally.
Everyone uses what they have, and no one saves anything but waste.
Just like when we had a big pot of rice before, some people ate and wasted, but later they separated and became more frugal.
But precisely because they use less, almost everyone is reluctant to use it and only uses it occasionally. In addition, they take a bath at night and go to bed in the morning.
The smell on my body was very light when I was working, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
The days passed like this day by day.
The atmosphere in the village became increasingly tense and desperate.
Because the grain production has been reduced again this year, the yield per mu is less than 200 kilograms. After paying the part that should be paid, and distributing the rest to each household as usual, no matter how you calculate it, you will not be able to survive next year. Some people's The elderly at home are already thinking about going to the mountains to seek death, or simply finding a place to hang themselves to reduce their daily consumption.
They died, one less bite to eat.
The children and grandchildren might have an extra way of living.
Although the Li family does not have to worry about not having enough food at home at the moment, seeing other families in the village crying and begging their parents not to leave, there must be a way out, and some elderly people in the same village are getting thinner and thinner, even lying at home and reducing their activity. To avoid eating too much food.
I still feel sad and sad.
I want to do something, but I know it will be a drop in the bucket.
