Through chatting with Deng Ping, Lin Sui learned that in addition to the supply and marketing cooperative in the family area on the island, there was also a large aboriginal market on the other side of the mountain.
Every five days, the villagers living nearby will take the extra things from their homes to the market in exchange for some urgently needed things.
"The basket I put vegetables in for my sister-in-law today was exchanged with a craftsman at the market."
Deng Ping explained.
Lin Sui nodded, but he didn't expect that there would be a big gathering here.
"Wouldn't it affect the island market now?"
"It's okay. It's far away from the shore and it's not that noisy." Deng Ping went on to introduce that on the other side of the mountain, there was not only a market, but also a town.
"There are several warriors in the family area who are targeting the island's aborigines. They have made a living by fishing for generations and have thrived on this land for many years."
There are many rules on the island that have been established before.
Although it is said that after the soldiers came to the island, many external policies were adopted, but there are some things that are planted in the bones that cannot be changed for a while.
And although this is a big island, no matter how big it is, it is still an island far away from the land. All kinds of development will lag behind places connected to the land.
Therefore, the superiors turned a blind eye to some of the private transactions of the fishermen here.
After all, it’s hard work to be stationed and guard the island!
Although the main force is the national army, as a native fisherman, because of his familiarity with this sea area, he still needs their help many times.
Therefore, some policies on the island here are actually more relaxed than on the shore.
Lin Sui understood.
"When is the nearest market? I also want to visit then." Lin Sui was still a little excited when she knew that she could buy things freely here.
Maybe it was the home with only four white walls that stimulated her, making her constantly thinking about buying something, and then buying something more.
"The day after tomorrow happens to be the market. Do you want to go, sister-in-law? I will come and call you then."
"Well, do you have to walk far?"
"You don't have to walk. There is a special car in the family area to go to the market. You only need to pay 10 cents per person. The bus location is right in front of the ring road."
"Well."
After agreeing to go to the market the day after tomorrow, Lin Sui slowed down her shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative.
She bought some things that may not be sold in the current market, such as tableware, kettles, kitchen knives, enamel basins and other things that require industrial coupons.
The supply and marketing cooperative on the island has quite a complete range of things. Lin Sui bought eight rice bowls with blue rims and white backgrounds for eating, and five large bowls with flowers. When she saw an enamel bowl with Agricultural Learning Dazhai printed on one side, she thought After thinking about it, I ordered two.
The way she was buying a bowl made not only Deng Ping stunned, but also the salesperson who brought her something.
"Comrade, there are many people in your family?"
Li Yun picked up the bowl for Lin Sui with paper and asked while wrapping it.
Lin Sui hesitated for a moment, thinking that the bowl was limited. I found the memory of the original owner working in a supply and marketing cooperative in my mind, and found that I was allowed to buy dishes and chopsticks at will.
As long as you have money and tickets, that's all.
However, people nowadays are not rich, and it is possible for a family to use one bowl. In line with the concept of saving when you can, under normal circumstances, no one will buy so many bowls at one time.
Even if we occasionally treat guests to dinner, the guests should bring their own dishes and chopsticks to the door.
Lin Sui felt a little ashamed when she thought of this. She was not that integrated into this era. But she would never accept the life of a family eating from two bowls.
So she thought for a moment and smiled and said: "The children at home are small. If a bowl is dropped, it will be useless. Buy two more and keep them at home as a precaution."
She said and touched the hair of Lu Yunyao beside her. Lu Yunyao raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes.
Lin Sui felt a little ashamed because she had lied about her child.
Li Yun felt a little outrageous and felt that Lin Sui would not be able to live a good life.
"This child is young, it would be better if adults keep a closer eye on him. How can he say that he is extravagant and wasteful just because he is afraid that the child will damage things?"
She said this, but she still wrapped up the bowl and handed it to Lin Sui with a not-so-good look on her face.
"Three dollars, an industrial ticket."
After being able to successfully buy the bowl, Lin Sui no longer cared about Li Yun's attitude. She took out the money and tickets, counted them and handed them to Li Yun. When Li Yun took them, her eyes fell on the back of Lin Sui's hand.
Seeing the white and tender back of her hands, Li Yun was sure that this lesbian had indeed never endured hardship.
I didn't notice that the back of her hands not only lacked the calluses that working people now have, but were even dazzlingly white, as if they had never been exposed to the sun.
How could someone who has endured hardship have such hands?
Li Yun, who believed that labor was the most glorious thing, had an even worse impression of Lin Sui.
Lin Sui didn't know because his hands lowered his image again. She took the bowl with a smile and continued to buy others.
She took her children around the supply and marketing cooperative and spent more than fifty yuan to buy some urgently needed things.
The knick-knacks were all placed in the enamel basin. She was holding the enamel basin with Double Happiness printed on it and holding a warm kettle in one hand.
"Sister-in-law, let me get some for you."
Deng Ping wanted to take the thing from her hand, but Lin Sui refused.
"Please help me hold the two cubs. They are jumping around so much that they are afraid of hitting anyone."
"Hey, that's okay too."
Deng Ping went to hold the child, and Lin Sui left the supply and marketing cooperative holding her things. When she went out, she found that Niu Huahua and the others who were sitting and chatting under the big tree were still there. When the women saw them coming out, their eyes fell on her and they muttered something.
It's not a good thing to say based on that expression.
Deng Ping looked at Lin Sui.
Lin Sui pretended not to notice, and turned to Lu Yunyao in front of her with a faint smile on her face. Lu Yunjin said, "Let's go home and drink malted milk."
She doesn't cause trouble, but she's not afraid of it either.
People like Niu Huahua and others were obviously unfriendly, and Lin Sui didn't want to have any in-depth interactions with them.
So there is no need to please them.
It didn't matter that they didn't like her, she didn't intend to hang out with them anyway.
To put it nicely, everyone is the family member of a soldier in the same army, but the soldiers in this army are all uneven, let alone the family members.
Lin Sui thinks that she is not RMB and cannot make everyone like her, so she simply doesn't care about it.
Holding an enamel basin and a warm kettle in his hand, he went home with Deng Ping and his two cubs, talking and laughing.
Before they even reached the door of their house, they saw a truck pulling things parked in front of their house. Lu Ye was leading a few people to move furniture from the truck.
Under the sun, the man was wearing a short-sleeved camouflage uniform, revealing a little sweat on his wheat-colored arms.
When the two cubs who were holding Deng Ping's hands saw Lu Ye, they immediately let go of their hands and ran forward.
He stood there talking to someone. Give them a profile with a focused expression, with the sun shining on it, and some light shining on it.
Lin Sui paused when she saw this scene.
"dad."
"dad."
