Take the Supermarket to Seventies

CHAPTER 3

It stands to reason that one can go home and rest during the lunch break, but Li Xiu has always looked down on Lin Xianglian and her daughter. In order to save her daughter from being wronged, Lin Xianglian usually takes her daughter to a cool place to rest at noon. This way, she doesn’t have to listen to Li Xiu’s insults, and it’s also convenient for her to go to work.

Zhao Dazhu was very pleased about this. He often praised Lin Xianglian’s mother and daughter for being positive, which made many villagers and educated youths stay in the field and never leave. Zhao Lili could go home, her home was nearby, but today she refused to leave, just wanted to see what Yu Tong could find. Here Zhao Lili secretly regarded Yu Tong as an imaginary enemy, while Yu Tong was clutching her stomach and worrying.

In the past two years, the harvest in the field has not been good, and there is very little fine grain distributed, and there are not many grains of rice in the rice soup. A bowl of water into the belly, was full at the time, but it didn’t take long to be hungry. Although Yu Tong ate an egg in the morning, she was already hungry after working.

In the 21st century, people can eat whatever they want, but when we go back to the 1970s, the gap is a bit big, and Yu Tong can’t accept it. She sat by the tree, hugged her knees and closed her eyes, trying to drive away hunger with sleep. However, not long after she closed her eyes, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, the cool breeze gusted, and the sultry afternoon sun seemed to be driven away, Yu Tong felt extremely comfortable.

She opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she was standing in a modern supermarket. The layout of the supermarket is very familiar. It is the small supermarket given to her by Yu Tong’s parents. Yu Tong usually likes to take pictures and draw pictures, and the Yu family is not short of money, so her parents gave her a small supermarket on her birthday. Let her not only guarantee to support herself, but also do what she likes.

Thinking of her parents, Yu Tong felt a little sad, wondering what would happen to them after she disappeared….Wait, isn’t she in the supermarket right now? So she’s back? ! Yu Tong immediately walked out in a hurry. As soon as she pushed open the glass sliding door, she saw Lin Xianglian looking at her with concern: “Tong Tong, are you not sleeping well? Why did you suddenly open your eyes?”

Yu Tong stared blankly. looking around. The fields are still the same fields, and the educated youths are still those educated youths. She has not returned to her own world.

What happened to the supermarket just now?

Could it be a dream?  But she will never forget the feeling of blowing on the air conditioner, it really doesn’t seem like a dream. Yu Tong closed her eyes suspiciously, thinking about the supermarket, this time it was faster than before, she stood in the supermarket almost instantly. Yu Tong blinked, looked at the empty supermarket, and ruthlessly pinched her thigh. Not a dream.

Yu Tong didn’t think much about it this time, she immediately walked to the food shelf, tore open a sandwich bag and stuffed it into her mouth.

Although there is no microwave oven for heating, and the sandwich is just two slices of bread sandwiched with ham and fried egg, Yu Tong seems to have eaten some delicacies from mountains and seas, and she can’t stop for a second. This bread, this ham, this fried egg, why didn’t Yu Tong think these things were so delicious before!

After eating a piece of bread, Yu Tong’s hunger finally subsided. At the same time, she also understood that, like the people in those novels, she had a portable space. This realization made Yu Tong extremely excited. In the 1970s, hungry stomachs were common in poor villages.

With this supermarket, Yu Tong no longer has to worry about being hungry! The only downside is that Yu Tong’s supermarket has just opened, and there are not many items on the market, and she doesn’t know how long the food will be enough for her. But Yu Tong is already very happy to be able to relieve the urgent need.

After eating, Yu Tong originally wanted to bring Lin Xianglian something to eat, but after thinking about it, Lin Xianglian might become suspicious if she took it out hastily. In this era, materials are scarce, and it’s not good to attract attention. It’s better to wait for the right opportunity to fill Lin Xianglian’s stomach.

Yu Tong took two more chocolates from the supermarket and secretly stuffed them into the innermost pocket. After all, she doesn’t work very often, and she is afraid that she will not be able to support herself, so she can secretly replenish some energy.

After putting away the chocolates, Yu Tong left the supermarket. After accidentally discovering his portable space, Yu Tong’s smile was sweeter than eating honey, as if life had hope, and there was no need to worry about the days to come. Yu Tong worked harder than anyone else, and the corners of her mouth were slightly bent when she was working. The people around her were infected by Yu Tong, and their mood improved.

They used to think that Yu Tong was a down-to-earth person, but she was too inarticulate and couldn’t communicate with others. In the hearts of these young people, Yu Tong was like a high-ranking and cold queen that who could only watch from a distance. Today when Yu Tong smiled, they suddenly felt that Yu Tong was like a fairy descended from the mortal world, not only easy to get along with, but also very sensible.

Looking at the educated youth working beside Yu Tong, Liu Mingwei felt as if grass had grown in his heart. It’s all Zhao Lili’s fault. She was afraid that Liu Mingwei and Yu Tong would have something to do, so she deliberately asked her father to put Liu Mingwei in the place farthest from Yu Tong. Liu Mingwei couldn’t even talk to Yu Tong while he was resting. Liu Mingwei clearly felt that Yu Tong today was a little different from before. In the past, only Liu Mingwei knew that Yu Tong was a good-natured person, but now everyone knows that, if someone takes the first step, he will be dumbfounded!    No, he has to act quickly and establish a relationship with Yu Tong!

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

Of all the people, Zhao Lili got the lightest job, she just had to sit and look at the field and farm tools. Everyone in the village knew that Zhao Lili was Zhao Dazhu’s daughter, and no one dared to say anything. Zhao Lili’s lightest work had almost become everyone’s default.

Zhao Lili, who happened to come here, noticed that Liu Mingwei seemed to have glanced in Yu Tong’s direction, and felt a little uncomfortable. She had already deliberately asked her father to assign Liu Mingwei to a corner, why does he always pay attention to Yu Tong? Zhao Lili frowned and thought for a while, then walked back in silence. Normally, when she looked at the venue, she would always deliberately walk towards Liu Mingwei’s side. The purpose was to attract Liu Mingwei’s attention. In fact, the place where Zhao Lili worked was far away from Liu Mingwei.

She ran to Zhao Dazhu in two or three steps, pulled Zhao Dazhu to the dirt road, and whispered: “Father, someone bullies me, you don’t care.”

Zhao Dazhu was working. He wiped off his sweat and panted, “Who bullied you?”

“Who else!” That Yu Tong! She doesn’t deal with me, she deliberately squeezes me!”

Zhao Dazhu said strangely: “Why did the little girl bully you?”

Zhao Dazhu usually sees Yu Tong’s performance, and he still has a good impression of  Yu Tong. Yes, although she is young, she is down-to-earth and willing to work, and she is no worse than an adult in hwr daily work. Zhao Dazhu likes this kind of honest person, but it’s a pity that Yu Tong’s family has an aunt who is not reassuring, otherwise there is always a way for a child as old as Yu Tong to be lazy.

When she heard that Zhao Dazhu didn’t believe her, Zhao Lili pouted her mouth high, and she said angrily, “She just bullied me, is always bullying me, don’t you believe me?” Although Zhao Dazhu liked Yu Tong very much, but his daughter It is a treasure, especially in the old Zhao family. Of the five brothers and sisters, only Zhao Dazhu has a daughter. The old Zhao family has raised Zhao Lili in the palm of their hands for so many years.

Seeing his daughter’s aggrieved appearance, Zhao Dazhu felt distressed, and he compromised: “Don’t worry, I didn’t say I don’t believe you, okay, what do you say?”

Zhao Lili snorted coldly: “It’s not that I can’t find someone to pick up Dung, let her do it.”

Few villagers are willing to do such a job as picking up dung. Not to mention that the environment is not good, and the work points earned are not as good as the land, who wants to pick up dung?

Yu Tong is definitely not willing to go, and she will show everyone that Yu Tong is not only picky about the work, but also refuses to obey the arrangement of the team leader. Her thinking is terrible!

Even if Yu Tong is willing to go, it doesn’t matter, seeing the fair and clean little girl go to pick up dung, isn’t it quite relieved?

Zhao Dazhu shook his head: “It’s not going to work. Yu Tong is still a little girl. If this arrangement goes on, others tell me how to arrange me. Does your father need to be the captain?”

Zhao Lili said indifferently: “Then let Lin Xianglian go , anyway, they are a family, father, do you still think of me as your own daughter!”

Isn’t Yu Tong filial, can she watch her mother pick up dung? Ah. Zhao Dazhu knew it was wrong to do so, but he couldn’t hold back Zhao Lili, so he had to agree.

(A/N this is so wrong I don’t believe in spoiling the child outoff limits even if it’s only one in the family )

He pushed Zhao Lili aside, thought for a moment, and then beckoned Lin Xianglian over: “Old Lin! It’s your turn to pick up dung these two days, so go over now! I’ll find someone else to do the work on the ground.”

Zhao Lili also laughed Said: “Aunt Lin, come to me to get tools.”

As soon as the words came out, several nearby villagers and educated youths raised their heads one after another. Today’s work has been arranged long ago, how can there be any reason to change jobs in the middle? What’s more, it was another job of picking up dung… They looked at the arrogant Zhao Lili, with “this is the end of offending me” written all over her face .

Everyone was unhappy.

It’s fine for Zhao Lili to do brisk work, but now why is she telling other people’s work?

Lin Xianglian also felt that something was wrong, she didn’t mind doing rough work, but she just did it not long ago, why is it her turn again so soon? Others haven’t figured it out yet, but Yu Tong is like a bright mirror in her heart. Just now Zhao Lili looked at her several times on purpose. If she didn’t understand what it meant, she would be too stupid. This is treating her as a rival in love! Seeing that Lin Xianglian and Yu Tong hadn’t moved, Zhao Lili made a timely stab, “Aunt Lin, Yu Tong, picking up dung and manure is a must, although I know it doesn’t smell good, but you have to think about the collective? You can’t delay everyone’s work because of your personal laziness!”

Zhao Lili directly labeled Yu Tong as lazy. She looked at Yu Tong triumphantly, as if she had already won. Yu Tong knew that Zhao Lili was deliberately targeting her. She looked at the people around her, thought about it for a while, and raised her hand and said, “Uncle Dazhu, let me do it for my mother. My mother’s stomach has not been very good for the past two days.”

Yu Tong raised her hand suddenly, and the others were startled.

Especially Lin Xianglian, she grabbed Yu Tong’s hand, “What are you talking about, mom is fine, mom can still do this.”

Yu Tong shook her head, “Mom, I know you want to work more to contribute to the collective, but You have to take care of your health too. What if you are seriously ill and miss work? This is a big deal.”

She turned her head and said firmly, “Uncle Dazhu, just let me go. I can do all the work!”

Zhao Dazhu was originally begged by Zhao Lili for this matter, but Zhao Dazhu agreed, but now that Yu Tong asked to go, Zhao Dazhu felt very sorry.

He held it in for a long time, his face flushed, but he couldn’t say a word. At this point, the others finally noticed something was wrong. What did Zhao Lili ask Lin Xianglian to pick up dung for no reason? And her smile just now… Oh, by the way, Zhao Lili has nothing to do with Lin Xianglian, but she doesn’t get along well with Yu Tong. Last week they also heard Zhao Lili say that Yu Tong has no quality and no father!

It’s too much for Zhao Lili to do the lightest work, but to avenge her private revenge now is too much! That is to say, Lin Xianglian and Yu Tong had good intentions, so they didn’t say anything.

Especially Yu Tong, a job that little girls despise. Because she loves her mother, she volunteers to do it. How many girls can match this kind of filial piety? Other people’s daughters don’t know, anyway, Zhao Lili can’t compare! Thinking about it this way, everyone’s eyes on Yu Tong became even more special.

Yu Tong was about to go over to discuss the feces collection with Zhao Dazhu, when someone suddenly said, “Captain Zhao, that’s not right, I remember Lao Yu’s family had just had a turn, Xianglian was there at that time, why is it now again Let Xianglian go?”

Someone raised the head, and others echoed: “I remember it too, doesn’t everyone have their turn again? Why did it go back again.”

“Whose turn is it? Come out, we have to unite, Whoever should do it will do it!”

Zhao Dazhu’s face turned blue and white, and he couldn’t help it. Zhao Lili was also a little surprised, she didn’t expect Yu Tong to take the initiative to do it, let alone this group of people who usually only sweep the snow in front of the door would jump out to speak for Yu Tong. What are they crazy about? ! Competing for the shitty job of picking up dung? !

“Oh, maybe I misremembered,” Zhao Dazhu remedied embarrassingly, “Lily, where is the registration book, let’s see whose turn it is.” Seeing that the things that could torture Yu Tong could not be done , Zhao Lili reluctantly took out her notebook, and looked at them one by one, “It’s my turn…”

She stopped in the middle of speaking, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she licked her lower lip uneasily, “Well, Dad, it’s our turn.”

As soon as the voice fell, the field was silent. Zhao Dazhu is the production team leader. These days, the production team leader in the village can hold up half the sky. None of them dare to criticize Zhao Dazhu directly, but the disdain in their eyes is enough to embarrass Zhao Dazhu.

Tsk, the production team leader is using public power for personal gain, deliberately embarrassing others, but the job should be done by them! If you say it, you will lose your life! Zhao Dazhu’s face was dark, and he just felt that he had lost all his face in the past few decades. His face turned white and red, very ugly, for the first time in his life, he didn’t give his precious daughter a good look, turned around to look for tools: “I see, I’ll go right away.”

Zhao Lili was frightened by Zhao Dazhu’s face, holding the book to read for a long while, she dared not move things… how did it become like this? Yu Tong didn’t expect things to go this way, she really wanted to go for Lin Xianglian. She kept thinking about the eggs that Lin Xianglian gave her in the morning.

The female educated youth Lin Huan came over, pulled Yu Tong, and curled her lips in Zhao Lili’s direction, “Don’t pay attention to her, she’s just like that, let’s see how long she can remain majestic.”

Yu Tong was a little surprised: “You know she did it on purpose ?”

“Stupid girl,” Lin Huan laughed, “we live in the same village, who doesn’t know who, I remind you again, I see that Zhao Lili has gotten close to Liu Mingwei recently, so don’t join in the fun, Liu Mingwei is bad.”

Lin Huan knew Liu Mingwei before he went to the countryside. At that time, Liu Mingwei was a fool, and he fell in love with someone who was beautiful.

She didn’t want to take care of these shitty things at first, until Yu Tong offered to pick up excrement for Lin Xianglian just now, Lin Huan felt that Yu Tong was a pretty good girl, and was afraid that she would be deceived by Liu Mingwei, so she specially reminded her.

The original owner and Lin Huan had never met before, and Yu Tong couldn’t find any information about Lin Huan in her memory, so she could only nod and pass on Lin Huan’s kindness, “I see, thank you.” Lin Huan laughed and turned around to Go to work again.

When the crowd dispersed, Lin Xianglian frowned and said to Yu Tong: “Tongtong, mom knows you love me, but you are a little girl, how can you do that kind of work? Don’t do this in the future, how can there be a little girl? , go do that kind of work.”

“Mom, all jobs are the same, regardless of high or low.” Yu Tong said seriously, “As long as I can do my best, I’m young and in good health, so I can do more. You Didn’t you still talk about your back pain yesterday, and I’ll do more in the future so you can rest.”

Lin Xianglian didn’t expect Yu Tong, who had always been reticent, to say such heartfelt words, and she choked up for a while. She has always felt sorry for Yu Tong. If she had been there to see off her son because of the busy farming season, the son and her husband would not have disappeared.

In the countryside, if there is a man in the family, others will not always think of bullying you. Yu Tong knew Lin Xianglian’s thoughts, she smiled: “Okay, Mom, let’s do the work first, there is still a lot to do.”

Lin Xianglian nodded with red eyes: “Okay.”

After squatting in the field for another hour, Yu Tong Tong’s legs and feet were a little numb. She stood up and moved her legs and feet. From the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently noticed that Zhao Lili was walking towards the east.

There is Liu Mingwei in the east, and Yu Tong knows it.

Usually, Yu Tong wouldn’t care about people with unhealthy thoughts like Zhao Lili, but today, Zhao Lili has already plotted against her, so she can’t pretend that nothing happened. Yu Tong thought for a while, covered her stomach and said to Lin Xianglian: “Mom, my stomach hurts, I will go and make it easier.”

She was about to turn around when Lin Huan at the side stopped her, “Oh, just right, I want to go too, let’s go together Let’s go?”

Yu Tong originally wanted to create a momentum to show everyone how lazy Zhao Lili is usually, but she didn’t expect Lin Huan to follow. But it’s good for Lin Huan to follow, at least there is someone to be a witness, and Zhao Lili won’t bite back when the time comes.

Yu Tong smiled and nodded: “Okay.” Lin Huan knew her well, so she immediately took Yu Tong’s arm and happily walked to the toilet. The latrine is on the east side, if you want to go to the latrine, you will definitely pass by the land that Liu Mingwei is in charge of.

Sure enough, before Yu Tong took two steps, Lin Huan was surprised and said, “Isn’t Zhao Lili in charge of looking at farm tools and food? Why did she come here? Hey, what are she and Liu Mingwei doing? They’re so close, it’s not true Are you okay?”

Yu Tong looked intently, and sure enough, she saw Zhao Lili and Liu Mingwei flirting. It’s just that Liu Mingwei’s land is too remote, no one noticed. Lin Huan has a quick temper, and her family is doing well in the city. This trip to the countryside was purely accidental, so Lin Huan is not afraid of Zhao Dazhu. Lin Huan was even angrier when she thought that Zhao Lili had said that Yu Tong had come here to flirt and flirt in disregard of the group just now. Who is lazy? !

Lin Huan ran over in two or three steps, and shouted: “Zhao Lili, what are you doing?!”

Lin Huan’s voice scared Zhao Lili, who was almost leaning on Liu Mingwei, to the ground. She hurriedly got up from the dirt and looked at Lin Huan in surprise. Although Zhao Lili and Liu Mingwei chose a secluded place, they couldn’t hold back Lin Huan’s voice, and everyone stretched their heads to see what happened. Lin Huan didn’t give Zhao Lili any face at all, she said loudly: “Let’s take a look, just now Zhao Lili beat around the bush and said Yu Tong was lazy, but now she is here during working hours, Zhao Lili, do you think it’s appropriate?! ” A woman is squatting in the field, who can not know what she is doing?

The villagers didn’t like the arrogant Zhao Lili very much, and now they were even more angry seeing Zhao Lili being so lazy and sneaky, and everyone started talking about it. “She was doing the lightest work, but She still don’t want to do the lightest work!” ” Just now, she asked Lao Lin to pick up dung on purpose. Is it to make things difficult for Lao Lin and Yu Tong? This little girl has such a bad heart.”

” Fortunately, she is still the captain’s daughter, what a capable person the captain is!”

The discussion grew louder, Zhao Lili was so anxious that she almost cried, she quickly kept a distance from Liu Mingwei, but the facts were already in front of her eyes, who cares what Zhao Lili does ?

Within a few seconds, someone called Zhao Dazhu over. Zhao Dazhu hurried over, not knowing what had happened, “What’s the matter, you don’t work anymore? Are you done with your work?”

Lin Huan originally had a good impression of this hardworking team leader, but after Yu Tong’s incident, But no good feelings at all.

She sneered coldly: “Captain, Zhao Lili hid in the fields with Liu Mingwei to be lazy during working hours. Yu Tong and I saw it with our own eyes. What do you think?”

Zhao Lili is a girl after all, and reputation is still very important, so Lin Huan also Didn’t say they were dating. Zhao Dazhu didn’t expect that the matter had something to do with his daughter, so he was stunned for a while before he stumbled and said, “Lily, Lily and Liu Mingwei…?”

Although Lin Huan gave him face, but his daughter, Zhao Dazhu could not understand What’s the matter?

Lin Huan nodded: “Yes, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Yu Tong.”

Zhao Dazhu looked at Yu Tong: “Really?”

Yu Tong didn’t expect that without saying a word, everything she wanted to do would be done, she quietly added to the fire, “I, I don’t know, I just saw that they seem to be very close…or maybe it’s Let’s weed together.” Her tone was stuttering, her cheeks were flushed, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

When Zhao Dazhu saw Yu Tong’s reaction, he immediately understood. Fortunately, because of Zhao Lili, he made things difficult for Yu Tong’s mother and daughter. Look at them, she still knows how to cover up for Zhao Lili at this time!

Zhao Dazhu originally did something wrong because of Zhao Lili’s capriciousness, and Zhao Lili lost all the face of the captain. Now that this happened again, Zhao Lili didn’t want him to continue to be the captain, right? !

Doesn’t she know how important a girl’s reputation is? If this kind of thing gets out, who else would dare to marry Zhao Lili? !

Zhao Dazhu’s face was livid, and he was furious: “Zhao Lili! Liu Mingwei! Starting tomorrow, one of you will be in the west and the other in the east, and you will both be working in the field!”

Zhao Lili was frightened when she heard Zhao Dazhu’s words. Go to the ground? ! She, she has never worked in the field before, just watching the scene, she will get dizzy from the sun, working in the field now…

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

Liu Mingwei was irritable all afternoon because of Zhao Lili, he didn’t expect that he and Zhao Lili would meet and It was exposed so quickly, he hadn’t got Yu Tong yet. Liu Mingwei is not afraid that the matter between himself and Zhao Lili will be exposed, but he is afraid that Yu Tong will stay away from him.

No, he has to ask Yu Tong to clarify! Anyway, Yu Tong is that silly girl who likes to be emotional, as long as he finds a reason to prevaricate, Yu Tong will believe that his true love is still her!

Liu Mingwei had already made up his mind, so he said that the reason he and Zhao Lili got close was to return to the city as soon as possible, and when he returned to the city, he would marry Yu Tong! He was thinking about their future!
