Chapter 91 Niu Mudan, Ponytail

At the door of the supply and marketing cooperative in Xicheng, Beijing, Director Niu straightened his hat that was squeezed crooked and came out with an unhappy face.

I didn't buy anything again!

The New Year is coming, and the gifts for the family have not been prepared yet. This year is a critical time for Lao Gao to get promoted. There are many important favors to be paid, and no one can be careless.

It just so happens that this year, the city's supplies are tight again. Everyone is crowding into the supply and marketing cooperative. Usually, they are stingy, but during the New Year, everyone holds a stack of money in their hands and snatches things fiercely.

She has come for the third time, but still hasn't bought anything satisfactory.

Director Niu frowned as he returned to the compound. Before he entered, he was stopped by someone.

He looked up and saw Xiao Yang, the mailman from the post office.

"Director Niu, there is a letter for your family. I just wanted to deliver it to you!"

Director Niu took the letter and saw that it was from Heilongjiang Province.

She walked home wondering, their family has no relatives or friends in Heilongjiang Province?

After arriving home, she opened the letter and saw Mingdai's name on the last page. She thought for a while and then remembered who it was.

The letter was not long. It started with a simple greeting, expressing gratitude to their family, and then talked about life in Liujiawan.

Director Niu was not very interested in Yu Mingdai's life in the countryside, but he was interested in the description in her letter: endless red dates, endless chestnuts, endless hazelnuts, and endless walnuts!

Moreover, every household had a surplus of dried goods, such as fungus and mushrooms.

Finally, he mentioned the Caoji Market, and lamented that the jerky in sacks, the wind-dried chickens and wind-dried rabbits hung in rows, were very cheap, but the villagers had no money and could not sell them.

In the end, he said that although the food in the countryside was full and good, daily necessities were in short supply. If people here wanted to buy a bar of soap, they had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab it. There were no such things as gloves, enamel basins, and pillowcases.

Director Niu became more and more excited as she read the letter. She could get all these!

Her family was from a textile factory. They couldn't use up all the things they received every year, so they could give her a lot. They would bring home boxes of gloves alone, and they never lacked pillowcases and pillowcases.

As for soap and other things, she remembered that Lao Gao had a good brother who worked in a soap factory!

The more she thought about the contents of the letter, the more excited she became. When Director Gao got home from get off work, he was shocked by his wife's enthusiasm and his waist couldn't help but ache.

Director Niu rolled his eyes as he looked at him holding his waist: "What are you thinking about! I don't need you today! Let me show you this!"

The crisis was resolved, and Director Gao immediately stood up straight and took the letter to read it carefully.

After reading it, he sipped his hot tea: "The young comrade has a good life in the countryside. He is a smart one."

Director Niu snorted: "Didn't you see anything else?"
