Chapter 023 Going to the Market
However, if you want to go to the market, it is usually the genius who just polished it, so you just walked by yourself, and there are few who are willing to spend money on a tractor.
Even an elderly person like Old Mrs. Qin, who was throwing his legs apart, and his speed was not slower than that of young people!
Qin Mutong knew that the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she made an exception to spend money on a tractor.
In fact, Qin Mutong didn't care whether he was walking or riding a tractor in the market. He could still be considered as physical exercise, and it didn't take much time. And now the road is not of great quality. Even if the tractor is on the national highway, the car would tremble for a while. It would be okay to sit occasionally. Once you sit for a long time, the taste would not be very good.
However, the old lady felt sorry for Qin Mutong, and Qin Mutong naturally felt sorry for the old lady.
Even if you are not in a good state when you are on a tractor, you will definitely be better for the elderly when you walk than when you walk.
Early the next morning, Qin Mutong and Old Lady Qin boarded a tractor and headed to Xinle Town.
There was still a lot of sand and soil on the tractor. It should be because Zhao Jianhua helped people to pick up goods before, but did not clean the car, so there was sand and soil remaining.
But everyone doesn't care.
On the tractor, in addition to Qin Mutong and Old Lady Qin, there were also several passengers, all of whom were not short of money.
This is a tractor used to pull goods, not for people, so there are no seats or anything else on the car. Everyone sits directly on the railings on both sides of the tractor, or squats directly.
Because Old Lady Qin was old, everyone gave in to her and gave her a place at the railing.
Qin Mutong stood in front of the old lady, holding the old lady with one hand and holding the big bamboo basket with the other, and barely stabilizing her body.
Fortunately, there are a lot of backpacks in this tractor, which almost takes up all the space. So although the tractor is shaking and shaking when it is turned on, Qin Mutong can stand still and don’t have to worry about falling suddenly.
Seeing Qin Mutong being so tight to the old lady, the people around him laughed and joked: "It's still my granddaughter who knows how to take care of others. In a few years, you should enjoy your happiness, aunt!"
"That's it! My monkey always jumps three feet high when I have a car. How can I be as well-behaved as a Tongtong?"
"I heard that Tongtong is doing well in school? Have you thought about where to go to high school?"
Everyone was talking and said that Qin Mutong was embarrassed, but Old Mrs. Qin smiled on her face.
When he arrived in the town, Old Mrs. Qin gave her two cents fare, and Zhao Jianhua drove away in a tractor.
Qin Mutong asked curiously: "Milk, are we still on the tractor when we go back?"
Old Mrs. Qin shook her head: "You Uncle Jianhua has something to do, how could you wait here all the time? When we finish the market, we will come to the Dianjie to take a look. Then there will be cars running to the village."
Dianjiezi is a three-way intersection in Xinle Town. It is a street opened next to the national highway, and it is named after it.
Usually, the vehicles passing by on the car are parked in this area and get on and off.
Qin Mutong nodded suddenly with great enlightenment.
She carried the bamboo basket on her body, and the big basket covered her entire back, just like a child who insisted on pretending to be an adult, with a bit funny and sadness.
However, this is happening everywhere these days, so no one finds it strange, and doesn't even take a look at it.
Only Old Mrs. Qin felt distressed and said, "Tongtong, put down the basket quickly and I'll carry it!"
If she had known this, she would not have brought this big basket!
There is also a small backpack at home!
Of course Qin Mutong wouldn't listen to her.
She strode into the street with her backpack on her back: "My mother, let's go quickly, so that everyone will pick up all the good things in a while!"
Old Mrs. Qin had to follow and called her funny: "You've gone wrong and you've gone wrong, let's go here!"
Xinle Town itself is not big, there are only two streets in total, and these two streets are forked from one opening.
In these two streets, one sells agricultural products, such as vegetable seeds, brooms and fertilizers, and there is also a vegetable market. On the other street, it sells daily necessities, such as clothing, stationery, etc., as well as supply and marketing cooperatives, banks and hospitals.
The street where Qin Mutong walked was the street where agricultural products were sold.
"Milk, aren't we here to buy fertilizer?" Qin Mutong said strangely.
Otherwise, why would her breasts take such a big basket out for her?
Old Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Buy fertilizers later. School is about to start. Let's buy you new clothes first!"
Qin Mutong: "...Milk, I just bought new clothes before the New Year, there is no need to buy them anymore, right?"
A girl as old as her in the village rarely wore new clothes that year. Almost all the big ones were left, so she wore them for the younger ones. Even if she didn't have them, she could find old clothes from relatives and friends' houses to change them.
Of course, new clothes are what everyone wants, and Qin Mutong is no exception.
But now the Qin family is only left with her and the old lady. This old man and the young man don’t even have a strong labor force at home, so naturally they can save as much as possible.
Old Mrs. Qin shook her head in disagreement and said, "You bought new clothes for the New Year before the New Year, which is a little thicker. Spring is coming soon, and the weather is about to warm up. It's time to buy some shirts to wear."
"I bought the shirt last year, and I can still wear it now!"
"Nonsense! It's been a year, and you've grown a little longer. The clothes I had last year were shorter."
Qin Mutong: "..."
She couldn't bear the deep love she had for her!
Qin Mutong still couldn't convince Mrs. Qin and was dragged to buy new clothes by Mrs. Qin.
In the late 1980s, more and more people were doing business in the town, but not many people were confident in opening clothing shops, only a few three or four. Old Mrs. Qin took Qin Mutong to look at each house one by one, but never found satisfactory clothes.
The main reason is that the quality of these clothes is not very good, and the thread tips are very obvious. After buying them, you have to repair them before wearing them, otherwise you will be torn if you are not careful.
Qin Mutong quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mmm, since these clothes are not very good, then we won't buy them, right? Let's come again when we have time next time!"
Old Mrs. Qin was determined to buy new clothes for her granddaughter, and immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look!"
Qin Mutong: "..."
The old lady is quite stubborn!
The supply and marketing cooperative in the town used to be state-owned. Although the things sold in it are expensive, the quality is good. If anyone gets married with a wife and a daughter, then the things they buy must be bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Now, although the supply and marketing cooperative has been replaced by private contracting, everyone still maintains the habit of buying good things and going to the supply and marketing cooperative.
