"Sister-in-law, can you knit sweaters?"
Little sister-in-law blinked, "A little, my older sister-in-law’s family gave her some gloves, I can unravel those gloves to knit sweaters, are you thinking of knitting sweaters for Da Bao and the others?"
"Yes, it’s getting cold."
They walked and talked along the way.
"Educated Youth Yun, are you also going to town?"
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "I’m going to town to see if my parents have mailed me a package and to buy some things on the way, it’s getting cold."
Hearing Educated Youth Yun say this, the other aunties looked at her enviously.
Having been married for several years, her parents still mailed her things.
They took a bullock cart, which wasn’t free, five cents per person, a round trip cost ten cents.
Some people walked to town to save that ten cents.
Meanwhile, Da Bao took Xiao Bao, stuffed a few White Rabbit milk candies and some cookies with cream filling in his pockets, locked the door, and headed for grandma’s house.
Sanya and Xiao Mao hadn’t gone to visit their uncle’s house to play with Da Bao and the others for a long time.
Their uncle said that Little Aunt was studying and asked them not to disturb her.
Da Bao immediately took out the White Rabbit milk candies, giving one to each person.
"Mom has gone to town, she said she’s going to buy some yarn..."
That stuff is not cheap, and it requires industrial coupons.
"I also have cookies with cream filling..."
After the little ones ate them, they all played together.
Wherever Da Bao and Xiao Bao went, Xiao Mao and Sanya followed.
"Don’t run around. If someone hits you, just run away."
Mrs. Zhao was still quite busy with her two sons building a house, and the youngest grandchild could already walk and run around.
"Da Zhu, where are you going?"
Meanwhile, Yun Xiaoxiao finally reached town; the bullock cart had really shaken her up.
"Sister-in-law, let’s go to the Cooperative and take a look..."
Checking the communal store to see what type of fabrics they had, if the vests bought from Pinduoduo looked significantly different from those fabrics, it could raise suspicions.
After arriving at the Cooperative, it must be said that with the cooler weather and no work to do, the number of people coming to town wasn’t small; they were all queuing to buy things.
"Sister-in-law, there are so many people?"
Little sister-in-law had gotten used to it by now, "Let’s hurry up and get in line, otherwise there will be nothing left to buy later."
"You get in line first; I’ll go check the post office."
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao say this, little sister-in-law said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
The female supporting character’s parents didn’t pamper her here as if she were the apple of their eye.
But Yun Xiaoxiao still made a token effort to check at the post office.
No packages, but there was a letter.
The female supporting character’s family sent her another letter?
Wondering what was written in this one?
She sneakily wandered around, pretending the items were bought from the black market: yarn, vests, Da Bao and their cotton clothes, the outfit was nice, it looked handmade.
After roaming around for quite a while, she finally went back.
"Educated Youth Yun, you’re finally back. Did you get your package?"
Yun Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, "I got it. Sister-in-law, let’s talk later, I’m going to buy some things first."
"Alright, go ahead. I’ll wait for you outside."
By the time Educated Youth Yun came over, many things were already gone.
But Yun Xiaoxiao had gotten wind of some things she needed to know.
It seems the previous purchases had no issues.
She bought some things that didn’t require coupons, paid for them, and left.
"Sister-in-law, let’s wait for the bullock cart."
