60s: I have a store

Chapter 210: Late Night Food Delivery
"Come one family at a time and take a photo of each family." Zhou Yimin made up the rules when he saw more and more people coming.

No one has any opinion on this.

What more could you want if you could get a free family photo? I was satisfied!

The background of the photo is the painted wall in the school, which was painted by Teacher Xiaolan. It's true that Teacher Xiaolan has a talent for painting.

Zhou Yimin came here and originally wanted to take a few photos of the teachers and students of the school.

Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly and became more and more outrageous.

Since the villagers had come, Zhou Yimin didn't want to spoil their fun and let them go home disappointed. But everyone took a picture, which was too many.

"Hurry, go back and ask your grandma to come over." someone shouted.

Gather the family together first and take the photo first.

"Yimin, my family is here." Someone even washed his face and changed into clothes without holes. After all, it was the first time to take photos! He had to dress up.

"Okay, then we'll take pictures of you first. Stand over there. You two will stand at the back, and the children and the elderly will sit in the front." Zhou Yimin directed.

The family followed the instructions and came to the school background wall. The couple stood at the back, while the elderly and children sat and kept smiling.

"Okay, look here. Listen to me count down from three, two, one. When I count to one, don't move. If you move, the photo will be blurry. Do you understand?" Zhou Yimin reminded.

"understood."

The family responded immediately.

The others watched Zhou Yimin taking pictures of the family intently, hoping to learn some experience so that they would not be so passive and at a loss when it was their turn.

"Okay, put your hands down and don't cover your sister." Zhou Yimin said again.

The man slapped his son on the head and warned him with his eyes not to mess around and to take pictures properly. If he did anything else, he would kick him out.

Only then did the little guy calm down.

Zhou Yimin seized the opportunity and began to count down: "Okay, don't move, three, two, one."

With a "click", the photo is taken.

"Okay, next one." Zhou Yimin shouted.

The villager asked, "Yimin, when can I get the photos?"

"About a week!"

If you wash it yourself, it won't take that long, you can finish it in one night. If you leave it to someone else, it will definitely take time and you will have to wait in line!

Unless you stuff it with benefits, of course.

After such a long time, if it were in the future, you would basically have closed down.

"Relax, don't be so serious."

……

They went from house to house, just to take a family photo, which didn't take much time. After taking the photo, the team leader and the old branch secretary immediately sent people to work.

Finally, Zhou Yimin took a few photos of the teachers and students in each class.

The next day, Zhou Yimin returned to the city and went to the post office first to send out the photos and two letters.

One of the letters was written by him, mainly to reassure my aunt that he would ensure that my grandparents would have good food and clothing with him around, and he also hoped that my aunt would take care of her health over there.

During the first exchange, Zhou Yimin did not talk about anything else. Although he had some other ideas, he had to take it step by step and not rush. Besides, there were some things that my aunt might not believe and might not follow his script.

The other letter was naturally from my grandfather, with many corrections and scribbles on it.

After sending the letter and photos, Zhou Yimin went to the photo studio again.

"Comrade, help me develop these photos." Zhou Yimin handed over the film and two packs of cigarettes. The man smiled immediately when he saw the two packs of cigarettes: "No problem! I will personally make time to help you in the next two days. Come and get them in two days."

"That's it, thank you very much."

"polite!"

Zhou Yimin returned to the courtyard and passed by Old Xu's house. He walked in and told Old Mrs. Xu: "Grandma Xu, I'll bring something over in the evening."

Of course the old lady knew that the "thing" Zhou Yimin was talking about was food.

Great joy!

"Okay, Yimin, thank you so much this time." The old lady thanked sincerely.

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "Grandma Xu, we each take what we need. But this time the food you want is a bit much, so I have to be careful."

"Yes! As it should be, as it should be."

With hundreds of kilograms of food, it is never too careful or cautious! After all, in the countryside these days, you can marry a wife with just a dozen kilograms of food.

They had a premonition that things would get even more difficult and food might be even harder to obtain.

After Zhou Yimin left, Widow Ma said to her brother, "Daniu, isn't there an heirloom at home? Bring it back when you deliver the food."

She felt bad about asking her father-in-law to sell all the heirlooms to subsidize her parents' family.

Besides, wouldn't the heirloom be passed on to her son in the future? It was equivalent to her son's things. As a mother, of course she had to consider her child.

It is reasonable and moral to take back the heirloom from my mother's family to make up for the loss of my own family.

"Okay! I'll tell Dad when I get home."

Daniel nodded.

He believed that given his parents' personalities, they would do the same.

As long as it can help their family get through the most difficult times, the heirloom is gone. Isn't the purpose of heirlooms to provide emergency support for future generations?
Old Mrs. Xu and Old Man Xu "reprimanded" their daughter-in-law.

In the end, he "reluctantly" accepted his daughter-in-law's approach.

At night, almost everyone in the courtyard was asleep, but the lights in Old Xu's house were still on, and the whole family was waiting!
Zhou Yimin, Luo Dapeng, Li Youde, Zhou Dazhong, and Zhou Daqiu each came to Old Xu's house carrying a bag of corn. In addition, Zhou Yimin also carried a bucket of rapeseed oil.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

Hearing the knock on the door, Old Man Xu opened it immediately.

Seeing those bags of grain, Old Man Xu and his family were overjoyed and sighed in their hearts: It must be Yimin! Only he has the ability to get so much grain.

"Come in, come in." He quickly asked everyone to come into the house, then looked guiltily at other households in the yard and closed the door.

Zhou Yimin and others put down the food.

"Grandma Xu, these are all corn. Oh, and there's also this bucket of rapeseed oil." The bucket of rapeseed oil was about 5 liters and held 10 kilograms.

"Oh my! Why is there rapeseed oil? This is too much." said the old lady.

Originally, the old man wanted 300 kilograms of food. But the people were kind and generous, so they gave him 200 kilograms more. That was not all, and now they gave him 10 kilograms of rapeseed oil.

Whose heirloom could be exchanged for so many things?

In the capital, there are many people who have "antiques" at home, especially the elderly and young people, who often pawn "antiques" to support their lives.

Therefore, everyone is familiar with the market price of "antiques". You can buy one for a few dollars, and the better ones can cost more than ten dollars.

No matter how precious something is, it cannot be exchanged for 500 kilograms of corn and 10 kilograms of rapeseed oil!
