Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

On Monday, September 2nd, everyone going to school and working went about their business.

Sheng Xiping and the others can't go back to Qianchuan Forest Farm yet, and have to stay in Songjiang River for one day.

Just as Tang Fengying said she wanted to buy some things for the wedding, Sheng Xiping also planned to buy clothes and shoes for Zhou Qinglan.

So after breakfast, the group went straight to the Forestry Bureau store.

They had already planned that if the Forestry Bureau store didn't have anything good, they would quickly take the car to Fusong.

Fusong is the county seat, so it is definitely better than here.

The Forestry Bureau store is located to the west of the central tower, diagonally opposite the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau office building, which is often referred to as the third floor of the Bureau.

The Forestry Bureau store is naturally not comparable to the forestry farm store. The counter has a dazzling array of products, attracting many people to stop and watch.

The salesperson in gray-blue clothes stood behind the counter, expressionlessly looking at the people who were happily selecting products.

When someone asked the price, she would tell them how much it was. If they wanted to buy it, she would issue an invoice for it, and they would come over to pick it up after they paid the money.

No matter what age, women are better at shopping.

Tang Fengying took Zhou Qinglan straight to the cloth selling counter, looked at them one by one, and selected the material and color she liked.

Tang Fengying and Gao Haining were getting married in winter. According to the rules, they had to make a set of clothes for each of them.

You have to buy some other things as well.

Not to mention, Sheng Xiping and the others came at a good time. September was the season change, and a batch of fabrics had just arrived in the store.

There are all kinds of materials and colors, including cotton, Daliang, khaki, polyester, etc.

The quilts come in a variety of colors. In addition to the most classic Northeastern large floral fabrics, there are also silk and satin ones.

Of course, the prices are different, and the cotton ones are cheaper.

Tang Fengying's eyes were almost dazzled by the selection. Finally, at Zhou Qinglan's suggestion, she bought two sets of fabrics for clothes.

I also picked out a few pieces of bright red furoshiki, two pairs of pillowcases, and two sets of red sweaters and pants.

Everyone else also bought a lot. It was a rare trip, and the family members all brought money and asked them to take some things back.

Autumn is here, and the weather is getting cold very quickly. Who doesn’t want to prepare winter clothes?

There are only a few colors in the forest farm store, so there is no choice. If I finally get a chance, I will definitely have to go back and buy fabrics or something.

Sheng Xiping picked a piece of thick rose-red twill cotton and saved it for Zhou Qinglan to make a top.

There is also a piece of blue-gray twill khaki fabric, which can be used to make trousers wear-resistant.

When he came in just now, Sheng Xiping saw that there were no ready-made clothes for sale in the store, so he had to buy fabrics to make clothes.

After picking these, I counted the cloth coupons in my hand and still had money, so I took them with me to buy some cloth for my family members.

Finally, I chose two quilt covers. One was printed with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the other was printed with flowers blooming and wealth. The colors were very nice, and they were made of twill cotton and the price was not low.

There was a long iron wire hanging on the counter, and a clip hung on the iron wire.

The salesperson wrote the ticket, used an abacus to calculate the price, and the buyer paid.

Then he put the ticket and money on the clip and pushed it forward.

With one swipe, the clip, carrying the receipt and money, followed the iron wire to the cashier counter.

They gave me the change based on the price on the receipt, and then I swiped it and pushed it back with the change in the clip.

There are no plastic bags at this time, so the salesperson usually folds the fabric neatly and wraps it in paper.

"With these two pieces of cloth, you can find a tailor shop or an aunt or aunt with good craftsmanship to make you a suit later."

Sheng Xiping handed the paper bag wrapped with two pieces of cloth to Zhou Qinglan.

Zhou Qinglan was stunned at that time, "No, no, I have clothes to wear.

After all your hard work, you should buy some fabrics for your aunt and Yunfang Yunfei to make clothes. "

Where can I get Zhou Qinglan? He quickly waved his hand.

"I bought them all. My mother specially asked me to buy them for you. If you don't want them, then tell her later."

Sheng Xiping raised his eyebrows and smiled as he saw red clouds gradually rising on Zhou Qinglan's face.

"Auntie, you are so thoughtful." Zhou Qinglan had nothing to say when she heard that it was Zhang Shuzhen who asked.

She had accepted all the watches they had given her, and a large cart of firewood had also been delivered to her home, so she was still missing these two pieces of cloth?

Looking back, she discussed with her parents and decided to buy something for the Sheng family as a return gift.

Sheng Xiping was in a good mood and led Zhou Qinglan to the shoe counter.

"Comrade, are those women's leather shoes in size 37? Please bring them to me and take a look."

Sheng Xiping was attracted by a pair of black women's leather shoes on the shelf, so he spoke to the salesperson.

The salesperson's attitude was okay. Although she didn't have much expression, her movements were quite quick. She went to the shelf with her feet up and took the shoes that Sheng Xiping was interested in.

"This pair of shoes is size thirty-seven and costs eighteen yuan."

"What are you doing? Just buy fabrics, why are you buying shoes again?"

Zhou Qinglan was beside him and hurriedly tugged on Sheng Xiping's skirt and whispered. "Eighteen yuan is too expensive."

The half-heeled women's leather shoes look like they are worn by young girls.

Moreover, Zhou Qinglan wears Sanqi's shoes. She is not stupid. How can she not know that they are bought for her?

"My mother told me to buy you a pair of shoes and some clothes.

I didn't buy this dress, so I bought fabric to make it. I have to buy shoes. Otherwise, how will I communicate with my mother when I go back? "

Sheng Xiping saw Zhou Qinglan's expression of distress that money was too expensive, and inexplicably flashed through his mind the way his wife spent money in her previous life.

At that time, Sheng Xiping was rich, and his wife didn't care about spending money. She would buy whatever was good and whatever was expensive.

"Don't worry, I will make more money in the future. You can buy whatever you want." Sheng Xiping coaxed softly.

"Here, take a look at these shoes, do you like them?"

There were not many styles of leather shoes in this era. They were probably all-cow leather three-joint five-eyele shoes, bell-pressed youth-style leather shoes, and all-cow leather external-pressed five-eyele leather shoes.

The pair that Sheng Xiping is optimistic about are new models, women's full-leather half-heeled cross-strap shoes, produced by the Provincial Leather Shoes Factory. They are made of Hanniu base material and scraped soles, so the quality is definitely good.

Zhou Qinglan took the shoes, looked at them several times, and finally put them on the counter.

"It's better not to buy it. We work in the mountains all day long, and I don't have much chance to wear it. If I don't wear it after a few years, it won't look good."

A pair of shoes costs eighteen yuan, which is almost as much as a month's salary of an apprentice.

In the past, he didn't feel comfortable around his parents. After he left home and went to work as an educated youth, Zhou Qinglan realized that making money was really not easy.

"Comrade, please give me the invoice. I bought this pair."

How could Sheng Xiping not see that Zhou Qinglan liked these shoes very much?

In fact, there is no woman who doesn't like to dress up. It's just a condition and a last resort.

Although he, Sheng Xiping, didn't have much ability, he still had enough money to buy a pair of shoes for his partner.

"It's really expensive. It's not easy for you to make money. Don't buy it, right?" Zhou Qinglan raised her hand to stop the salesperson.

"It's okay, listen to me, or my mother will scold me when I go home." Sheng Xiping smiled and insisted on buying the shoes.

The salesperson didn't care about that and directly issued the ticket.

Sheng Xiping went to pay the money, then wrapped the shoes and put them in Zhou Qinglan's backpack.
