Along the familiar tractor road, You Yu, with a fluffy afro and a bright red cotton coat, pedaled the children's bicycle into a Hot Wheels posture.
"Ding-a-ling-ring, ding-a-ling-ring!" When encountering villagers occupying the road in twos and threes, they would ring the bell fiercely.
In less than ten minutes, we stopped at the only canteen on the side of the road in the village.
Seeing You Yufeng's back pulling away, the villagers couldn't help but shake their heads and started their daily routine.
"Didn't you say that Uncle Jun and his whole family have gone to the capital? And you still leave Madam Yu alone in the house?"
There is nothing you can do, You Lijun’s family is too senior!
In the seventh production team, most of the people who are over 20 years old and under 40 years old have to call You Yu "empress".
"Hey, hey, are you taking her to the capital to be embarrassed? You Ci's parents-in-law are both officials."
"Let's not talk about the issue of shame or shame. The whole family has left. I don't have to worry about being poked in the back."
"That is, leave some people in the house to look after the old man."
"Don't worry, it's not necessarily who will take care of whom! Can the Princess and the Pea be picked or can she be carried?"
"Let me tell you, Uncle Jun and his family have well taken care of their vegetable plot. They can sell it for less than ten thousand yuan a year. Isn't it a waste for the couple to go to Beijing to bring their grandson?"
"Children from Beijing are very accustomed to it, and the whole family hangs around..."
They talked about anything and everything, the topics kept changing, and they were worried about You Yu's family.
You Yu, a VIP customer of the canteen, plucked his ears and picked at the simple shelves of the canteen with his head sullenly.
There are no glass or ceramic water cups, but plastic cups and disposable paper cups are available;
There were only two toothbrushes, and I chose the most expensive one, which cost three yuan and fifty cents;
There are piles of face wash handkerchiefs, not to mention no brand, and they are so simple that they don’t even have basic plastic bags;
The color is also very ordinary. I picked one based on the feel. It feels the softest;
I picked a size S for the rubber dishwashing gloves.
I guess my aunt is coming to visit me soon, and I need to buy a few packs of sanitary napkins.
Look at the sign: Oh Ho! Counterfeit brands have all entered the village, such as "ADC", "Alien Space", "Duolan"...
It’s okay to use other daily necessities of unknown brands or without brands. You don’t dare to use counterfeit sanitary napkins. It’s better not to cause problems with such personal products.
"It's nine and a half dollars in total. Madam Yu, would you like two packs of spicy tiaonan? And the spicy dried tofu you like. The cumin flavor is so delicious."
"Don't buy it. I've had enough of these Chinese New Year snacks. I need some change!"
She, a white-collar beauty from a big city who came here in 2016, has never eaten any snacks?
"You have to have it, you have to have it."
The proprietress of the canteen, known as "Big Buck Tooth", had to help quickly find money. She didn't want to be beaten (scolded) by the VIPs.
Three production teams and fifteen children under the age of ten bought snacks from her house.
It’s not as much as Aunt Yu bought by herself last year, so we can’t make her unhappy.
Their village is not without disadvantages as it is close to the county seat.
Many parents are very smart and know that they cannot stop their children from eating snacks.
If you want to spend less money, you can buy a large box of snacks for your children by riding a motorcycle in ten minutes.
The buck-toothed You Yu didn't know that the expressionless You Yu was feeling heartbroken for her soft girl.
Although the 2004 hundred-dollar bill has great purchasing power, if one is broken, it will lose one!
That’s it, I haven’t bought any daily necessities yet!
Thinking of the blatant knockoffs in the supermarket, she had reason to be suspicious.
I used it for washing my hair and taking a shower today. The shampoo and shower gel are also fake brands!
Just ask why the taste of Head and Shoulders is different from what she has used before? !
My scalp seems a little itchy...
Even the most basic living needs made You Yu feel tight with money.
She is no longer the person who went to Fortune 500 supermarkets without looking at the prices of the products.
I habitually want to look for ways online, but where do I have a computer at home?
The Internet cafe closest to home is also in the county town opposite the Qingyi River Bridge.
She attended high school for three years in Jiang County No. 2 Middle School, and she didn't even go online a few times in her memory.
Smartphones hadn’t even come out yet, and her father was the only one in the family with a Nokia 6510.
A landline phone was installed in my grandma’s room only half a year ago for the convenience of making phone calls to my eldest daughter and my eldest daughter who married in the city.
Sigh, she doesn’t even have the basic tools to make money now!
The riding speed was too fast when I came out, and I rode slowly on the country tractor road back home.
Looking left and right, you can see white plastic greenhouses stretching as far as the eye can see not far away.
Smell carefully, there is still a faint smell of fermented feces in the air.
Fortunately, her home is still a little far away from this greenhouse. Otherwise, when the weather gets hot, the air will kill people, right?
There are ten production teams in Yougoubian Village, but few villagers go out to work.
Most of the villagers have built two-story buildings just by growing vegetables in greenhouses.
The cost of erecting a vegetable greenhouse on half an acre of land is more than 1,000 yuan, and the main frame requires cement pillars.
Special steel pipes are also used to make the arches, and the thickness of the plastic film used to cover them is required.
Most vegetables require rotational cultivation, so every family has several greenhouses.
The diligent vegetable farmers are already busy in the greenhouses before the New Year is over.
Bitter melon, tomato, cucumber, pepper, eggplant, green beans and other vegetable seedlings.
The seedlings are grown in the greenhouse in winter, and transplanting can begin around the beginning of spring.
The work of transplanting vegetable seedlings in a greenhouse is not easy. The whole process of digging holes and burying the seedlings has to be done with hunched waist, which is stuffy and tiring.
Thinking of this, You Yu realized the strange phenomenon in her home:
You Ci must have already made arrangements with You Lijun and his wife to go to the capital.
Otherwise, at the end of last year, her family had six greenhouses, but not a single vegetable seedling had grown before the Chinese New Year.
Haha, it seems that the whole family only hid the secret from her. They just gave her an ultimatum before her parents left.
School beauty sister, you have something special...
The biggest inconvenience of living close to elders is that every move is under their noses.
Seeing the things she bought in her granddaughter's bicycle pocket, Grandma You began to think again:
"Isn't your Momo Maruko-chan (Chibi Maruko-chan) face towel still brand new? Are you going to buy a new one?"
"I've been using it for more than half a year. Where is it still new? I'm going to replace it!" Thanks to the original body, it's so cool to be willful.
"It's only been used for half a year and it's not new? It's really weird..." Grandma You muttered secretly, but she was afraid of making her granddaughter unhappy, and she still had something to discuss with her.
"Xiaoyu, we old ladies are going to pinch the dog's buds tomorrow morning, and let your father make lunch at noon, do you want to do that?"
Dog Diya? !
In You Yu's memory, it is the best wild vegetable in Shangjiang County in spring (it is very expensive).
