Take the Supermarket to Seventies

Early in the morning, Lao Yu’s family members got together and busily prepared breakfast.

This big family has its own characteristics, the eldest Yu Changzhi and his family are extroverted, and they are the ones who quarrel the most at the dinner table. The second child’s family is dull, Yu Changdong concentrates on eating, his wife Zhou Xiaofeng is even more taciturn. As for Yu Ying, she has now married into Lao Li’s family, and is busy wiping Li Na and Li Jun’s hands, so she has no time to chatter.

When Yu Tong brought the porridge to the dinner table, Li Xiu was still muttering, “Is it okay to eat the rice cooked by children? Don’t waste rice in the future. The rice is precious now.” Yu Tong turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear. There is no need for Yu Tong to say anything, Mrs. Yu was not very happy when she heard this, “Li Xiu, what’s the matter with you, why do you still remember this?” Li Xiu was terrified, and reluctantly shut up.

The porridge was divided into everyone’s hands, Zhou Xiaofeng, who had been silent all this time, weighed the portion and looked at Yu Tong in surprise.

Before Li Xiu cooked, she had never been given so much rice, and Li Xiu got all the rice into Yu Lele’s bowl. Zhou Xiaofeng is honest, usually she doesn’t dare to say anything, but today when Yu Tong is cooking, she feels different. She feel very uncomfortable.

Yesterday Li Xiu was clamoring for her to join hands with her to beat Yu Tong. At that time, she thought that Yu Tong had done something bad.

Looking at it now, isn’t Yu Tong a pretty good person? Put more porridge in the bowl.

Yu Changzhi has a big appetite, he was hungry a long time ago, as soon as the porridge came, he couldn’t wait to take a sip, “Oh, it’s delicious!

Tongtong made it?” As soon as her husband praised Yu Tong, Li Xiu immediately gave him a look.

This big brain just doesn’t work well, how can he praise Yu Tong at this time, isn’t this slapping her in the face? What if the old lady asked Yu Tong to cook in the future, wouldn’t she have to do the dirty and tiring work of cleaning the yard?

Besides, how delicious can such a big child make? How could it be comparable to her decades of craftsmanship.

Here Li Xiu was slandering, and there  several other people took a sip from their bowls, and after putting down the bowls, they all echoed: “It’s really delicious, and Tong Tong’s craftsmanship is good.”

Li Xiu was surprised, she glanced at the porridge in front of her.

The milky white rice soup looked no different from what Li Xiu made, why did these people praise Yu Tong?

Unconvinced, Li Xiu took some rice with a spoon and carefully put it in her mouth, as if Yu Tong had been poisoned while cooking. Putting a few grains of rice into her mouth, Li Xiu immediately felt that the porridge was different from the one she made. Not to mention the smooth and tender rice grains, it still has a mild taste and is a bit salty. I don’t know what seasoning Yu Tong put in it.

Li Xiu stared at the porridge in front of her eyes, she didn’t want to drink it, and she didn’t want to drink it. Don’t drink it, there is nothing else to eat except this bowl of porridge, and this porridge is really delicious, but if she drinks it, won’t she be bowing to the little girl? ! That’s not okay.

Seeing Li Xiu’s hesitation, Yu Tong asked with a smile on purpose,”Auntie, why don’t you drink it? Is it not good?”

Li Xiu snorted coldly, deliberately showing disdain, “I’m not hungry, have no appetite, this porridge has no color, how can I drink it?”

Although this is to belittle Yu Tong, but Yu Tong is waiting for this sentence, she pursed her lips and smiled: “Okay, then this extra bowl of porridge Just give it to grandma, grandma is too thin, so eat more.” Saying that, before Li Xiu objected, Yu Tong had already pushed the porridge to Granny Yu with quick eyesight and hands.

Mrs. Yu has managed the family all her life, and no one has been close to her for a long time. Seeing Yu Tong’s actions, Mrs. Yu’s heart warmed, but her face was still cold: “No, let’s drink for Xiaojun, Xiaojun. It’s time to grow your body, so drink more.”

Although Li Jun is the grandson of someone else’s family, he is also the son of Mrs. Yu’s own daughter, so he can’t be hungry. Yu Tong smiled and nodded: “Okay.” After speaking, she glanced at Li Xiu intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter’s face was livid with anger.

She just stiffened her mouth, why was the porridge taken away? ! If she doesn’t drink porridge, how is she going to work this morning? ! Li Xiu was trembling with anger, she looked at Yu Tong with a fierce face, but since the old lady was still around, Li Xiu didn’t dare to get angry.

Seeing this, Yu Tong laughed even more heartily. In fact, she had known for a long time that this bowl of porridge would end up in the hands of the youngest child, but she still had to give it to Mrs. Yu first. Only Mrs. Yu spoke, and no one else would have any objections. If she took the initiative to give it to Li Jun, I’m afraid the other two families would be unhappy again.

After dinner, Yu Tong and Lin Xianglian went to the field together. On the way there, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Yu Tong secretly stuffed boiled eggs into Lin Xianglian’s hands.

Lin Xianglian touched the familiar egg but hadn’t eaten it a few times, and was startled, “Where did you get the egg?”

Lin Xianglian thought that Yu Tong cooked the breakfast, and her face turned pale with fright, “It can’t be from grandma. Take it… This is not good, grandma knows how many eggs our family has, so send them back quickly.”

Yu Tong smiled and said: “No, I picked these up in the haystack yesterday, I don’t know whose chicken laid the eggs  and I just happened to be the one cooking this morning, so I just cooked them. Mom, don’t worry, no one will know.”

Lin Xianglian still hesitated: “It’s not easy for a chicken to lay an egg these days, and the family who lost the egg should be in a hurry. Let’s go.”

Yu Tong didn’t expect Lin Xianglian to be so thoughtful, and hurriedly said, “No, no, there was no one around the haystack. I waited there for a long time yesterday, but no one came to pick it up, so I just took it. If you don’t take it back, it would be a waste if someone accidentally trampled it.”

Lin Xianglian reluctantly took it, but still told her: “Don’t pick it up next time, what if people rely on it to live?”

Although Yu Tong did not pick up the egg, what Lin Xianglian said was indeed reasonable, and Yu Tong nodded: “Okay!”

It seems that she still has to think of a few more ways to let Lin Xianglian eat supermarket food without worry. The things in the supermarket were not available in the small village, and Yu Tong didn’t dare to take them out in a fair manner, but the city…should have these, right?

Yu Tong frowned, feeling that she should also make plans for the future.

**********************

Since Yu Tong made breakfast once, Mrs. Yu’s impression of Yu Tong has become better and better. Even Li Xiu could feel the change of Mrs.Yu’s attitude. She didn’t dare to trouble Yu Tong for these two weeks . Yu Tong took advantage of these two quiet weeks to seriously consider the future.

It is already 1975, and the special period is about to pass, Yu Tong must go to the city if she wants to live a good life. She knows the importance of knowledge, and the college entrance examination will resume soon. She still has to prepare to take the college entrance examination, but she doesn’t know if she is qualified to take the exam because she hasn’t read the book for a few days.

Both going to the city and taking the college entrance examination was difficult as Yu Tong can’t even leave Lao Yu’s house now, which makes Yu Tong a little worried. It seems that she still have to take Lin Xianglian out of Lao Yu’s house before we can think about the future. Fortunately, there are still two years before the college entrance examination, and Yu Tong still has time to prepare.

On this day, Yu Tong finished her work in the field, and it happened to be lunch break. She just found a shady place to sit down, where there was a shadow over her head, Chu Jie stared at Yu Tong with a serious face, with a bag in his hand. If she hadn’t known Chu Jie was a good person , Yu Tong would have been startled by his serious expression.

A smile appeared on Yu Tong’s face: “Chu jie, what’s the matter?”

Chu Jie looked around. Those who were ready to go home went home, and those who didn’t want to go home just lay down in the shade of a tree to rest. After people noticed this side, Chu Jie threw the bag in Yu Tong’s arms. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “Thank you for last time, this is a thank you gift.”

Chu Jie’s move was so sudden that Yu Tong hurriedly caught it, picked it up and saw that it was two eggs.

Yu Tong hurriedly returned it to Chu Jie: “What’s the matter? It’s just a matter of little effort. Your body hasn’t recovered yet, so you can keep it for yourself.”

The eggs were exchanged by Chu Jie from another house. For these two eggs, Chu Jie I did a lot of work for others, just to give Yu Tong a thank you gift. Although he appeared to be indifferent, in fact, Chu Jie’s palms were already soaked. He couldn’t explain why, but he became nervous as soon as he stood in front of Yu Tong, as if he had done something bad.

Chu Jie didn’t dare to look at Yu Tong, and didn’t dare to say more, he said in a muffled voice, “I’ll give it to you.”

After speaking, before Yu Tong could refuse, Chu Jie left quickly.

When Yu Tong got up from the ground, Chu Jie had already gone so far that she couldn’t even catch up. This scene was seen by Liu Mingwei not far away, and his heart was sour. Because of Yu Tong’s indifference to him earlier, Liu Mingwei originally wanted to be indifferent to Yu Tong during this period of time, killing her vigor so that it would be easier to control her in the future. He thought that Yu Tong must like him, seeing that he would not look for her, she must be anxious, and would take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

Who would have thought that he was indifferent, and never saw Yu Tong again? It’s fine if Yu Tong didn’t come to look for him, and he had a good chat with that ugly monster Chu Jie, can Liu Mingwei not be angry ?

Although angry, Liu Mingwei was still reluctant to give up on Yu Tong. He walked over in two or three steps, and said earnestly, “Tongtong ,um, I want to ask you, have you found that book?” This topic was thought up in advance by him, now the only connection between him and Yu Tong is this book, so it must be grasped carefully and not lost.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tong glanced at him strangely, and said, “Didn’t I give it to you already?”

Liu Mingwei was startled, and then applauded in his heart. He didn’t receive the book at all. From Yu Tong’s point of view, the book has already been returned to him? How can this be! Yu Tong probably lost the book and made excuses!

That’s good, that book is not for sale now, Yu Tong lost his book, at least he should be compensated, right?

With books as a bond, Yu Tong had to contact Liu Mingwei. With Liu Mingwei’s sultry skills, he might be able to deal with Yu Tong.

Thinking of this, Liu Mingwei happily said: “Comrade Yu Tong, please don’t lie, why didn’t I receive the book?”

Seeing Liu Mingwei’s happy face, Yu Tong felt nauseous. How could a normal person react like this if they didn’t receive the book? Liu Mingwei might be arranging something in his mind! Yu Tong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and waved to Lin Huan who hadn’t left yet: “Sister Lin Huan, come here.”

Lin Huan ran over sweating profusely, “What’s the matter? I don’t want to move in such a hot day.” Yu Tong said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to confirm something with you.”

She pointed to Liu Mingwei, “Didn’t I give Liu Mingwei’s book to you? He said he didn’t receive it.”

“No?”

Lin Huan’s eyes immediately widened, “Liu Mingwei, what’s the matter with you, I obviously put the book on your desk, how can you say you didn’t receive it.”

Lin Huan suddenly appeared in the middle, and Liu Mingwei was also a little confused , “I really didn’t see it, when did you put it down.”

“Just last week, I went to find you, and you were not here, so I put it on your table.”

The two people here are arguing, not far away Zhao Lili, who was hiding behind the tree, was secretly proud of herself.

Two days ago, she went to the educated youth point to find Liu Mingwei, and happened to see this book, thinking that Liu Mingwei said that this book was borrowed by Yu Tong, Zhao Lili put the book away. She didn’t think about it at the time, but now it is of great use. Whether it’s Yu Tong or Lin Huan, they made her lose such a big person, she must get revenge!

As for the fact that Liu Mingwei came to find Yu Tong again, hmph, I will settle the score with him after this matter is over.

Zhao Lili adjusted her clothes and walked over with a serious face: “Mingwei, what are you arguing about?”

The relationship between Liu Mingwei and Zhao Lili was known to everyone in the village, and Zhao Lili no longer shy away from it, and just called Liu Mingwei by his nickname. She thought that she would be proud of being married to the prettiest person in the village, but in fact, everyone in the village was telling her up, saying that the village couldn’t keep the educated youth, and that Zhao Lili would be dumped by Liu Mingwei sooner or later.

Liu Mingwei has had enough of Zhao Lili’s temper these days, and he just held back for the sake of his future, “It’s nothing, Yu Tong borrowed my book and I’m looking for it.”

Zhao Lili said “Oh” and smiled: “She borrowed It then just pay it back, there is nothing to look for.”

Yu Tong looked at Zhao Lili’s smile and felt a little strange. This Zhao Lili would never smile so kindly. Yu Tong kept an eye out. Lin Huan has always disliked Zhao Lili, so she said angrily: “I obviously returned it to Liu Mingwei, and he insisted that I didn’t return it!”

Hearing Lin Huan’s disgusted tone, Zhao Lili frowned, unwilling, and deliberately raised her voice “I said, what’s the matter with you, comrade, how can you wrong people so much?”

The voice was raised so high that the villagers who hadn’t had time to leave turned their heads to look over, and many people even gathered around.

Lin Huan was not very happy: “Why did I wrong you.”

Zhao Lili said righteously: “What you said just now means that Ming Wei is reckless, I know Mingwei’s character, he will never give up for a book That’s it. You can’t frame good people!”

” What framed ?” Lin Huan rolled her eyes, “Then where did the book go ?”

Zhao Lili snorted, “Anyway, the book is in the hands of the two of you here, since Ming Wei didn’t receive it, the book is still with you and Yu Tong. Lin Huan, it could be that you and Yu Tong have a good relationship, so you deliberately cover up for Yu Tong!”

Now, Yu Tong finally understood What is Zhao Lili’s idea? This is to put the charge of “stealing books” on her head!

In this special era, stealing is a big deal, and Zhao Lili is being cruel. Liu Mingwei was also taken aback by Zhao Lili’s words. Didn’t she just want to say that Yu Tong took the book for herself? How can Yu Tong be charged with this crime, he will never have a chance to get close to her in the future!

Liu Mingwei quickly waved his hands: “No, no, Tongtong is not this kind of person.”

Zhao Lili glared at him resentfully: “Then where did the book go ?!”

Liu Mingwei shivered, thinking that he would have to rely on Zhao Dazhu in the future. The words on the lips were swallowed back.

Zhao Lili was aggressive: “Yu Tong, tell me, did you give the book to Lin Huan?”

Lin Huan was so angry at Zhao Lili that she was about to jump out to refute, but was stopped by Yu Tong.

Yu Tong’s face was calm, “Comrade Zhao Lili, I will definitely return the book. Sister Lin Huan’s family is not short of money for the book. I think you should go back to the educated youth house and look for it. You may lose it somewhere.”

“Impossible!”

Zhao Lili Without even thinking about it, she retorted, “It must be with you!”

Zhao Lili denied it too quickly, which made Yu Tong feel that something was wrong again.

Could it be…she took the book? Yes, she is so confident only if she took it away, dare to say that the book is not in the educated youth spot!

Yu Tong’s complexion was not very good, “Then you come and search.”

“If you want to steal something, you must hide it in advance, how can I find it! Yu Tong, this is just a book, you hurry up and get it come out,because we are fellow villagers, I won’t argue with you.” Zhao Lili looked at her triumphantly.

The surrounding villagers understood the ins and outs of the matter, and said one after another: “That’s right, it’s just a book, why are you arguing here?”

“I think what Zhao Lili said makes sense. The book belongs to Liu Mingwei. He won’t hide it. Educated Lin is not short of money for this book, so she will definitely not be ambiguous. As for Yu Tong…”

Everyone knows that Yu Tong has lost her father since she was a child, and life is not easy for her and Lin Xianglian at Lao Yu’s house. . Otherwise, the mother and daughter would not have worked so hard to earn work points, and Yu Lele, who was about to grow up, would still be enjoying life at home.

This Yu Tong likes to read a book when she has nothing to do. If it is said that she is greedy and doesn’t want to return it, it seems possible.

The associative power of the masses is so rich, Yu Tong was accused of “thief” without much effort.

In my impression, the original owner seemed to have experienced a similar scene, but the original owner was not articulate, which really allowed Zhao Lili to succeed. But Yu Tong is not the original owner. Yu Tong smiled coldly, and looked at Liu Mingwei: “Liu Mingwei, are you sure you haven’t received the book?”

Liu Mingwei met Yu Tong’s cold gaze, his heart trembled, and he nodded without confidence.

He knew it was impossible for Yu Tong to do this, but Zhao Lili insisted on it, so he couldn’t say anything, after all, compared with Yu Tong, Zhao

Lili was more important.

Yu Tong asked Lin Huan again: “Are you sure you put the book on Liu Mingwei’s desk?”

Lin Huan nodded affirmatively.

Yu Tong said: “Okay, then do you still remember who has been to the educated youth house during this period?”

Speaking of this, Lin Huan suddenly remembered that only Zhao Lili had been to the educated youth house during this time!

People in the village don’t like the educated youth very much, thinking that they are too delicate and difficult to work, so very few people will go to the educated youth house. Zhao Lili was different, she was getting along with Liu Mingwei, and she would go there every three days, Lin Huan remembered that Zhao Lili came not long after she finished delivering the books.

It must be her!

Lin Huan said loudly: “Zhao Lili! Zhao Lili has been here!”

Yu Tong laughed: “Okay, then let’s go to the educated youth house to look

for it first. Of course, we have to go to Zhao lilis and my house too, but I hope some people understand that the charge of ‘thief’ can’t just be charged on my head!” In the second half of the sentence, Yu Tong’s voice was as sharp as a knife. Zhao Lili shuddered abruptly, her face turned pale instantly.

She thought that the book was a matter of Yu Tong and the other three, and she must have nothing to do with herself, so she dared to jump out and

trouble Yu Tong. She never expected that Yu Tong could deal with it so Calmly, and even guessed that she took the book away!

What to do, now the book is on the table in her room!
