Get in the truck quickly, we're leaving." Chen Mu started the tractor and asked Chen Xiaolin and the three of them to get on the tractor and start setting off.

It takes about an hour to get to the county seat from Daqingshan Village by tractor, and about an hour and a half by bicycle.

People in the village usually buy things in the commune and rarely come to the county town.

Daqingshan Village is only half an hour by bicycle and an hour on foot from the commune, which is more than half the distance from the county town.

When they arrived at the county town, Chen Mu dropped Chen Xiaolin, Liu Zhaodi, and Shen Jiaojiao at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and left. He had to go to the agricultural machinery factory to buy fertilizer.

Chen Xiaolin didn't want to visit the supply and marketing cooperative. She made an appointment with Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao to wait for her at the state-owned hotel in an hour, and then went to the scrap collection station alone.

Chen Xiaolin had been to the scrap collection station in the county town many times, and she was even acquainted with the old man Liu who was guarding the door.

"Grandpa Liu, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Old man Liu raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaolin, and then thought for a while before saying, "You are Chen Dazhu's daughter! I think your name is Xiaolin, right? We haven't seen each other for several years, I can't remember it."

"Grandpa Liu, you have a really good memory. Here, I'll take this pheasant back for you to eat." Chen Xiaolin handed the pheasant that she had just secretly taken out of the space on the road to Old Man Liu.

"Okay, I'm not polite. Why are you here alone this time? Where is your father?" Old man Liu walked out of the door and took a look. He didn't find Chen Dazhu, so he felt very strange.

"My dad is no longer here. I'm here alone today." Chen Xiaolin suddenly felt a little sad. Chen Dazhu is really a good father.

"Your dad is a hero, don't be too sad." Old Man Liu was also a little sad. He still admired these soldiers. This was also the reason why he looked at Chen Dazhu in a different light, otherwise Chen Dazhu would not have been able to buy back so much good wood at the scrap collection station.

"Well, Grandpa Liu, are there any little books here? I want to buy some to show to my nephews." Chen Xiaolin mainly wanted to go in and see if there was anything good. Of course, if there were any little books, she would I will also buy it and take it away.

"There are about twenty books in the innermost corner. Go over and see if it's what you want." Uncle Liu has not yet recovered from the incident of Chen Dazhu's sacrifice, and his whole person is wilting.

Chen Xiaolin came to the place where Old Man Liu said and found the little book he mentioned. Chen Xiaolin didn't even read it, so she prepared to take it all.

Chen Xiaolin planned to look for self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry. She did not find all the books in this series when she was in Beijing.

When Chen Xiaolin saw books with wires, she would put them in the space regardless of whether they were ancient books or not.

She also found an English dictionary, which she needed for translation, so she secretly put it in the space.

After searching for half an hour, Chen Xiaolin couldn't find anything valuable anymore, so she decided to stop.

Today she gained quite a lot. She collected a dozen thread-bound books, an English dictionary, and found a set of exquisite porcelain. Although she didn't know if it was an antique, it was really beautiful. She also found all the self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry, and now she no longer has to worry about the college entrance examination in seven years.

Chen Xiaolin took a complete set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry and a small book of little people and went over to weigh herself. "Grandpa Liu, this is what I want,"

"Just give me two yuan." Old man Liu found a snakeskin bag and put all the books Chen Xiaolin wanted into it.

Chen Xiaolin thought it was a great deal. There were so many things for only two yuan. Prices at this time were really low.

Chen Xiaolin gave Old Man Liu two dollars and left. What she didn't know was that Old Man Liu put a wooden box in when she wasn't paying attention.

After Old Man Liu waited for Chen Xiaolin to leave, he locked the door of the scrap collection station, took a snakeskin bag, put the pheasant in it, and carried it home.

When Chen Xiaolin arrived at the state-owned hotel with a bag of books, Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao had not arrived yet.

Chen Xiaolin had to order her own food first to get a seat, otherwise there would be no room to sit when there were more people.

"Sister, I want a portion of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a portion of stir-fried ground and three delicacies, a bowl of rice, and twenty meat buns packed for me." Chen Xiaolin looked at the blackboard on the wall, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pot buns Meat, fried ground delicacies, and tomatoes and scrambled eggs are all her favorites, but it's a pity that her belly is only a little bit big, so it's really hard to choose!

Four yuan and thirty cents, one pound of meat stamps, one pound of food stamps." The waiter glanced at Chen Xiaolin expressionlessly. This must be an educated youth, otherwise how could he be so prodigal, eating two dishes by himself, and ordering so much meat? steamed stuffed bun.

Chen Xiaolin counted the bills on her hand and handed them to the waiter. She didn't dare to delay, for fear that she would be scolded later. Today's waiters are not like those in later generations, where customers are God. There is a sign hanging on the wall of the state-owned hotel, "Do not beat or scold guests casually!".

When Liu Zhaodi and the others came over, Chen Xiaolin's food had already been served.

"Xiaolin, why are you so fast? You help us look at the things first, and the two of us will order." Liu Zhaodi originally planned to treat Chen Xiaolin to a meal with Shen Jiaojiao today, but who knew that in the supply and marketing cooperative If you delay for too long, you'll be late.

"Just put your things next to me. Go and order!" Chen Xiaolin pointed to the snakeskin bag beside her and asked Liu Zhaodi and the others to put their things there.

Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao put down their things and hurried over to order. If they waited any longer, they would be afraid that they would run out of meat dishes.

Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao ordered a pot of pork buns, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, and two bowls of rice. When they saw there were meat buns, they also ordered five each.

All three of us were very satisfied with this meal. Even Shen Jiaojiao, who comes from a good family, eats a lot of meat. She has been eating too much cornstarch every day recently, and now she feels that meat is extremely delicious.

After eating, Chen Xiaolin took Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao directly to the post office.

When Chen Mu came to the post office after buying fertilizer, he saw a lot of packages in front of Chen Xiaolin and others.

"Xiao Lin, are you moving? Why are there so many things?"

"Brother, you're here! Most of these are Jiaojiao's. If you hadn't driven the tractor out today, I don't know how she would have moved them back." Chen Xiaolin knew how pampered Shen Jiaojiao was when she saw the package in front of her. .

Shen Jiaojiao was also a little embarrassed. She didn't know she had so many packages. There were about ten packages, except for the three packages belonging to Liu Zhaodi, Li Ran and Chen Hangyu, the rest belonged to her. She doesn't know what her mother mailed her. These packages are really big and heavy
