How to Thrive in the ’60s

It was almost two o'clock when the two came out of Wei Jianjun's house. Gu Shinian didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly took Yunshang to the state-run restaurant to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup, and then went to the supply and marketing agency next door to buy some and put them on the bright side. Personal items under the guise.

People from the supply and marketing agency came and went, Gu Shinian kept Yun Chang on his chest, bought a small bamboo basket in the corner, walked through the food area, and bought two toothbrushes and a golden rooster with osmanthus flavor at the living counter. Soap, I also bought a box of vanishing cream, and then went to the second floor to buy an aluminum lunch box for going out, two tea jars, two pairs of socks, a comb, and a few headbands for Yunshang.

These trivial things are not conspicuous, but a set must be prepared on the bright side. Otherwise, there is nothing in the house, but the two of them wash it every day and wipe it fragrantly. Isn't this a handle to someone?

Gu Shinian squatted down, put the things he bought neatly in the bamboo basket, and turned his head to ask Yunshang:

"Ah Chang, think about what else is missing at home."

Yun Chang was confused. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "There is no shortage."

It was getting late, and the two were worried that Yun Erchuan and Yun Shuilian would be in a hurry, so they did not dare to hang out and left the supply and marketing agency. Go down quickly.

When there were fewer people around, Yun Chang turned around and put the military bag in his arms in the bamboo basket. Using the cover of the military bag, he also put a few pieces of fabric that had been stored in the space into the basket.

"Second brother Gu, Widow Wang is crazy, who are we going to look for to make clothes in the future?"

The clothes on Yun Chang and Gu Shinian were made in the space before Widow Wang went crazy. Gu Shinian was a single coat, Yun Chang's clothes seemed to be cotton-padded clothes and cotton pants, but they were actually wrapped with down jackets and down pants. Much warmer than cotton clothes and cotton pants.

Thinking of Widow Wang's madness, her skillful hands were so in vain, Yun Chang felt pity, but also began to worry about their future clothes.

This summer's clothes can still be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives, but what should I do with the cotton-padded clothes and pants in winter? And those ugly down jackets, how did she get the coat on?

After thinking about it, Yun Chang felt that she had to learn to make clothes by herself, otherwise the winter would be difficult in the future.

"Second brother Gu, when I go back, I will let my grandma teach me how to make clothes. After I learn it, I will take care of all your clothes in the future."

Gu Shinian glanced at Yun Chang's fingers that were almost as long as needles, and responded with a smile:

"Okay, then I'll wait for Ah Chang's new clothes."

Walking to the second half of Cross Street, the snow on the road has not been removed, and it has been hardened and frozen by pedestrians. People walking on it will slip and fall if they are not careful. Gu Shinian hugged Yun Chang and walked more and more carefully.

Yun Chang looked at a few children playing snowball fights in the alley from a distance, remembering that Gu Shinian had not been home for many days, and asked worriedly:

"Second brother Gu, do you want to go home? You haven't gone back for so many days. Will you...mom...Auntie Zhang be angry?"

Yun Chang couldn't agree with Zhang Chunni in her heart after all.

In her heart, only the dignified, generous, gentle and elegant mother Gu is Gu Shinian's mother. A woman like Zhang Chunni who blames the reason for the divorce on her child and who ignores her child on weekdays is not worthy of being a mother to Gu Shinian.

Gu Shinian patted her head in Yun Chang's annoyed eyes, and said with a smile:

"It's okay. She's very busy. She's a well-known Iron Lady in the unit. It's possible that she still doesn't know that I haven't been home for many days."

Yun Chang was speechless again.

The son hasn't come home for several days, and the mother hasn't found out yet, how can this be a mother!

"She didn't mean to treat me harshly. She didn't care that much about her three children. In addition, she lives in a room alone, leaves early and returns late every day, and usually eats at her work unit. It's normal for her not to know how many children are.

"

Yun Chang responded with a dull sound, raised her head, and found that the two had reached the end of Cross Street, and quickly pointed to the alley on the right:

"Second brother Gu, go in from here, the one with the highest gate is the one."

Standing at the gate of Han Shan's house again, Yun Chang found that the carvings on the gate were gone, and only the bare wooden boards were still hanging on it.

Obviously, Han Shan listened to what she said last time.

"A Chang, are you sure it's this one?"

Yun Chang looked left and right, and nodded with great certainty, "This is the house."

In the yard, Yun Erchuan was preparing to set up an ox cart. Hearing the voices of the two talking, he jumped over a few steps and opened the door from inside:

"Shangnan! Comrade Gu Xiao! Where did you guys go and why did you come back?"

Yun Erchuan was really in a hurry. It would take about three hours to go back to Xinglin Village from the county. It was getting dark early in winter, and it was almost four o'clock now.

It snowed yesterday, and today the wind is blowing again. The snow on the road has already frozen over. Under such circumstances, rushing to the road at night can easily lead to accidents.

Yun Chang grabbed in front of Gu Shinian and said, "Second uncle, brother Shi Nian took me to buy cotton cloth! Where's my aunt?"

"Your aunt is helping Grandma Han paste the soles of her shoes." Yun Erchuan led the two of them into the door and shouted into the room, "Shuilian, Comrade Gu Xiao and Chang Nan are back, hurry up and pack up, let's go back now, and then It's even harder to walk at night."

Yun Shuilian responded through the window, and then Han Shan walked out of the room, followed by an old lady with kind eyes.

Seeing this, Yun Chang quickly took Gu Shinian's hand and greeted the two of them:

"Hello grandpa Han, hello grandma Han, brother Shi Nian and I are here to see you!"

As soon as Gu Shinian entered the door, he knew that Han Shan's house was not easy. Now that Yun Chang took the initiative to take him to greet the master's house, he quickly recovered his mind and said hello to Han Shan and his wife.

"Okay, okay, both are good kids."

It was the first time that the old lady saw Yunshang, she was so small, her brows were delicate, her speech was festive and polite, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Looking at Gu Shinian again, he is also handsome and good-looking, and he is also courteous and thoughtful in receiving people and things, which makes him even happier.

Taking advantage of Yun Shuilian's efforts to pack things, the old lady pulled the two of them into the house one by one, making sugar water, taking milk candy, and finally took out a small bag of persimmon cakes covered with hoarfrost, asking them to take them with them. go back to eat. It was so hot that Han Shan was taken aback for a moment.

After drinking the sugar water, Gu Shinian and Han Shan helped Yun Erchuan ride the car. Yun Chang sat on a high chair and drank the sugar water while leisurely dangling his short legs.

Seeing the old lady standing on tiptoe and bringing her something delicious like a spinning top, she hurriedly stopped and said:

"Grandma Han, I'll just have toffee to eat. Just sit down and take a rest, don't be busy."
