Return To 1977 Chapter 794: 小年

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

We might as well leave it to talk about the matter of "overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal" later.

Because no matter what, February 13, 1983, the Guihai Spring Festival of the lunar calendar is already far away, and the New Year must pass first.

As for the 1983 New Year’s goods, this year’s products are naturally richer than last year’s for both young and old.

This Spring Festival, as usual, each Beijing resident can buy one pound of rice, four ounces of peanut oil, two pounds of fish, and three pounds of Fuqiang noodles.

In addition to pork, eggs and japonica rice are also included in the open supply.

As for vegetables, as the vegetable planting area in Beijing has expanded to 19,000 hectares, vegetables from other places are also supplied to the capital in large quantities.

So this winter, not only was the supply of Chinese cabbage abundant in the capital, but there was also an increase in fine vegetables.

Things like winter bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and leeks that used to be expensive and rare can now be afforded by ordinary people.

Fruits are similar to vegetables. Since the apple area in the suburbs of Beijing this year has reached 172,000 acres, before the Spring Festival this year, oranges, apples, hawthorns, and persimmons have already complemented each other.

People not only have cheap and high-quality fruits to satisfy their cravings, but also get rid of the dilemma of monotonous varieties.

As for snacks, although the purchase restrictions on melon seeds and peanuts have not changed. But many flavored foods have been restored.

For example, plum blossoms, hawthorns, candied fruits from "Xinyuanzhai" and Qiuli paste from "Tongsanyi", etc.

As for what the Hong family is like specifically, you only need to look at how their family celebrates the New Year on February 5th.

According to Lao Ling'er, this day is the day to worship the stove. As a folk proverb goes, on the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, melons are dipped in sugar.

So after getting off work that day, Hong Yanzheng bought a bag of "Guandong Candy" to celebrate the festival and brought it back.

After he parked his bicycle and entered his parents' living room, he saw his sons Hong Jun and Hong Yi standing in front of the TV. He happily walked over with a bag of candy.

Unexpectedly, neither of the two sons was interested in candy. They turned around and called "Dad", and then they all turned back and stared at "The Jungle King" on the screen.

This made Hong Yanzheng very unhappy and a little angry.

"Hey, is this Japanese cartoon so good? Dad bought you candy! Do you want to eat it? Hey, ignore me?... Ignore me, I'll shut it down for you..."

At this moment, Xu Manli came in from the kitchen carrying vinegared cabbage and braised pork, and she quickly stopped her.

"Oh, it's winter vacation, and Hong Jun ranked third in the class again. What are you doing with your children? Just let them watch!"

Hong Yanzheng couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

"You don't know, I mean, why don't these two kids even eat Kanto candy? You see, I bought it specifically for them, but they didn't even look at it. When I was a kid, I would just eat it just for fun. Waiting for this day.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Manli fell into a joke.

"Why did you buy it? It's too sticky to the teeth. What's the point of eating it? You used to love it, but it's not good. Now there's no candy? Let me tell you, Laosan and Quanzi just brought back five pounds at noon. Chocolate and five pounds of 'White Rabbit', these two children have eaten enough in the afternoon, and they still want something as rough as yours."

"Okay, I dare you to be the third child. Isn't this spoiling my son?"

Hong Yanzheng then found the reason, complained, and turned around to pour water into the basin to wash his hands.

But while he was washing his clothes, he remembered something else. When he saw his wife was about to go out, he quickly called her to stop.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't leave. Our colleagues all said that when the prices of chemical fiber products dropped and the prices of cotton fabrics increased on January 20, the textile counters in this store would go crazy. I Are you thinking about taking a break tomorrow? Why don't we go to the department store and buy some new clothes for the whole family? We won't lose money if we don't go back."

Unexpectedly, this statement was met with opposition again.

"Don't, don't, don't. Didn't the third child already give instructions in advance? He said that the family will not be allowed to buy chemical fiber products and that everyone will wear pure cotton and wool from now on. He also said that this year will also cause trouble for the Su family. In two days, it will be over. Go to the mall to buy ready-made clothes. Your parents had already agreed.

Hong Yanzheng curled his lips.

"Hey, you listen to him. I haven't forgotten it, but now the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. Polyester card has always been more expensive than cotton. Now it's finally reversed. Why don't we buy cheap ones instead? Isn’t it stupid to buy something expensive?”

Unexpectedly, when he was talking about this, Hong Yanru also entered the room carrying a plate of dishes.

After hearing this, the future fashion designer couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He explained to Hong Yanzheng while setting the table.

"Brother, you don't understand. In the past, our clothing fabric industry level and production capacity were low, so this polyester card was really good and expensive. In fact, these are chemical products and not valuable. But cotton is not It’s the same. It’s made of cotton, and it’s very comfortable and breathable. I think it’s quite reasonable. Look, my pants are made of pure cotton.”

But Hong Yanru showed off like this, which made Hong Yanzheng even more satisfied.

"Hmph, your pants were given to you by the third brother, right?"

"Well, the third brother gave it to me yesterday, saying that it is the most popular thing in Huacheng now, called carrot pants."

"Okay, don't flatter you. Why don't you have a long memory? How many times have I told you..."

"I know, I know, I'm not allowed to wear strange clothes anymore, which will attract unscrupulous people. But these pants are not tight, they are so loose at the top. In fact, I have paid attention to it now, and my parents didn't say anything when they saw it. You can’t let me go out wearing a work cloth every day like you, right?”

"Hey, look what you said. What's wrong with the labor cloth? Have you forgotten what hardship and simplicity are? It's only been a few days since I took off my patched clothes. If you want me to see it, you can also let the third child take care of it. It’s broken. She has become a bourgeois lady!”

Yes, these few words made Hong Yanru blush.

But Xu Manli looked rude, fearing that her sister-in-law would be wronged, so she also scolded her husband.

"What are you doing? How can you catch someone who is angry today? What's wrong with Xiaoru? You don't even think about it. She is a big girl. How can she wear it if she doesn't wear it now? What's more? I'm a clothing major again. This is also a requirement for my profession. You've almost got it. What's wrong with you on New Year's Day? You should eat one of these sugar melons to make your mouth sticky. Good job."

Say this, not only made Hong Yanru laugh, but also Hong Yanzheng felt a little embarrassed.

He grinned and then fell silent.

Unfortunately, at this time, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back together.

As a result, Hong Yanzheng was angered again when he entered the house.

To be honest, they brought back a lot of things. Each of them had a big sack, and there were five or six pheasants and seven or eight rabbits hanging on their backs, as if they had gone out for a hunting trip.

Now, not only did Xu Manli and Hong Yanru help put away the things, but the two little ones also threw down the TV and came to join in the fun.

After asking, I found out that Bincheng had sent "Sanjianzi" and "Xiapaizi" to deliver New Year's goods.

In addition to seafood, this time there are also pheasants and mountain rabbits bought from Changchun. It was said that the local non-staple food store went to Daxinganling to get it.

Yang Weifan's place happened to be empty, so he left the two Bincheng buddies with him.

Then he made a phone call to ask Hong Yanwu and the others to chat for a while, and by the way, they brought the things back.

But after putting these aside, it was not over yet. Hong Yanwu took out his pocket and found something good.

First, two colorful squares were given to the two little ones.

"Oops, Rubik's Cube."

"Hey, ok, what's up? Have you played with it?"

“I’ve never played with it. Our classmates have one, and I’m still thinking about buying one before the Chinese New Year.”

"Don't buy it, I won't get it back for you. Just figure it out for yourself, you're a fool if you don't know how to do it."

On the other side, Chen Liquan also took out two large bottles with green caps and round heads, and handed them to Xu Manli and Hong Yanru respectively.

The eyes of the two women were immediately dazzled by the exquisite packaging.

"Hey, what is this?"

"Yes, it smells so good?"

But Chen Liquan shook his head in embarrassment when faced with questions. In the end, he had to rely on Hong Yanwu to explain.

"Sister-in-law, sister, didn't you see it? It says, Wellabo Shampoo. This is a new product jointly produced by Germany's Wella and us. To put it bluntly, it is for washing hair. Don't use soap in the future. Use this to wash and condition your hair, and it will be smooth and frizzy after use. ”

"Yeah? Is it that good?"

"Thank you, brother."

It’s just that, although everyone was intimate and warm together, they unintentionally left someone cold.

Don't forget, Hong Yanzheng is still on the side. When he sees his wife, children and sister, they are all so affectionate and hovering around Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. It's completely different from when I first came back.

Yeah, I can't help but feel bad again.

Naturally, the words he spoke didn’t come out well.

"Hey, you third child, why didn't you call me "big brother" when you came in? You deliberately pretended not to see me? I'm telling you, don't mess around outside. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will get into trouble. I won't do it. I understand, why does God want you to make a fortune through opportunism? What kind of wealth do you think you can bring by hoarding stamps and reselling them to the society?”

It's really embarrassing to say this. It's a pity that Hong Yanzheng is also a villain. ,

Because Hong Yanwu didn't forget him either. When he took out the sack, there were two bottles of beer in it.

"Brother, brother, calm down the fire. Look, I haven't seen you in a while, right? I brought it back just for you."

Hong Yanzheng was speechless, while Xu Manli and Hong Yanru couldn't help but laugh.

A deliberate boast.

"This is a new thing. The third child still thinks about your elder brother, and he loves this."

Another one also liked it.

"Third brother, you are really capable. You can't even find this kind of goods in big stores outside."

Even Hong Jun made noises.

"Dad, please don't compete with my third uncle. Why do you dislike everyone today? My third uncle is very interesting to you."

Unexpectedly, Hong Yanzheng was still holding on.

"What are you showing off? I think loose beer is good. I am an ordinary person who breaks a penny in half and spends it. Seeing you doing this makes me dizzy."

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but shake his head in joy at his elder brother's stubbornness.

"Come on. How about loose beer? They don't produce it at all now. You are called a backward era. Do you understand? Are you still dizzy? In fact, what does this mean? Foreigners don't even use bottles. Yes, they all drink from cans.”

Hong Yanzheng was immediately stunned by the new words he had never heard before.

"What can? You mean it's gas, right? When will you get rid of your mouth full of tongue?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Liquan also helped with the proof.

"Brother, Xiao Wu is not talking nonsense. I have also drank it. It is true. It is available in Jianguo Hotel. You can drink it with just one pull, so it is called...canned can."

Hong Jun next to him jumped up immediately after hearing this.

"I understand this time, isn't this just a grenade!"
