I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 14
The architecture of Huaihua Commune is much stronger than that of Dalizi Village. On the cross street, there are dozens of facade houses, large and small.

Building?No, only brick houses, very lavish.

On the lintel of the largest five brick houses is the word "Suisihua People's Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative", and on the opposite side is the sign "Huaihua People's Commune", the left side is the non-staple food store, oil mill, grain store, etc., and the right side is the post office. , Grain Management Office, Purchasing Station, etc.

The whole commune is a small sparrow with all the internal organs.

Li Xiuhong dragged Li Xingxing, who was looking around, "Xingxing, let's go in. Our Huaihua Commune is the largest people's commune in the county, and it manages nearly [-] production teams, so the products of the supply and marketing cooperative are very popular."

However, after entering the door, there were no customers, and the salesperson was busy making sweaters.

Li Xingxing saw stacks of enamel jars, enamel basins, and enamel bowls, rolls of fabric, strips of towels, and wooden barrels and glass jars that he didn't recognize on the counter.

"It's up to you to tell what you want to buy." The round-faced and big-eyed saleswoman didn't raise her head.

Li Xingxing thought her attitude was not good, but Li Xiuhong was used to it: "First, buy my daughter's daily necessities, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, towels, toilet paper, vanishing cream and clam oil."

The salesperson finally raised his head with a smile on his face: "How much is each item?"

Li Xingxing asked first, "What's the price?"

"The longevity brand toothbrush is seven cents apiece, and the Yashuang cream made in Shanghai is fifty-eight cents a bottle. There is only one bottle in the whole supply and marketing agency. The number is eight cents, a large towel is [-] cents, and toilet paper is [-] cents." The salesperson may not have a good memory, and he missed soap and toothpaste.

Li Xingxing gave a wow: "It's so cheap!"

The salesperson looked at her in surprise.

Cheap?She actually said things are cheap?

"You are really rich!" the salesperson said without thinking, "Country people don't like to talk about hygiene, so they rarely come to buy these basic hygiene products, and they can sell for a long time in a batch."

Li Xingxing raised his eyebrows.

It is not difficult to understand the choice of farmers. Every household is living a difficult life. How can they have spare money to buy sanitary products?

Don't you see, Lao Li's family doesn't even have toilet paper, they use corn cob husks instead.

The quality of the toilet paper on the shelf is very worrying, it looks worse than the cheapest toilet paper in her wholesale supermarket.

Li Xiuhong quickly took out a handkerchief bag, "Bring me a toothbrush, a toothpaste, a soap, a large towel, a bottle of vanishing cream, two large boxes of clam oil, and two knives of toilet paper."

Li Xingxing lay on the counter, "Mother, I want two towels."

Face wipes and foot wipes should be used separately.

"Okay, then take two!" Li Xiuhong agreed dotingly.

The salesperson said, "Two-foot cloth tickets."

Li Xingxing was stunned for a moment, "A ticket?"

"Of course, who sells you a towel if you don't have a cloth ticket? A big towel costs one foot cloth ticket!" The salesman looked at the ten foot cloth ticket handed over by Li Xiuhong. Just wearing a cotton jacket is easy to get dirty, and it’s hard to wash in winter, so why don’t you buy a few feet of cloth for your daughter to make a jacket? One foot of blue khaki is only sixty-seven cents.”

Li Xingxing waved his hand and said, "No, no, I have a gown in the box."

Or corduroy!
The old man asked the old tailor to make some clothes and trousers, but he didn't wear them a few times.

Li Xiuhong's eyes swept across the shelves, and finally landed on the colorful ones, "Would my mother buy you a scarf?"

"Scarf? I have it, don't need to buy it." Li Xingxing owned a cashmere scarf, and the topic changed, "You can buy me two enamel jars, one for drinking water and one for brushing teeth."

"Buy, buy everything!"
