Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 225 Obtaining the house

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are more people on the streets. The years have been much better than in previous years. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year.

Almost every household went to the streets today, some to prepare New Year's goods, and some just to watch the fun.

Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxuan, brother and sister, were obviously people who came to watch the fun. They strolled along with the crowd and first came to the supply and marketing cooperative, but it was impossible to squeeze into the supply and marketing cooperative today.

"We hurried in to line up. We heard there would be fish soon. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, so we have to grab a fish."

"I don't think about fish anymore. I just want to buy meat. I've been running around for a few days and only bought half a pound of meat. I need to feed the children during the New Year. There are many children in my family, so each of them can only get two pieces of meat at most."

"My family doesn't want fish or meat. We just want to buy a piece of cloth to make new clothes for our children."

"Do you still have cloth coupons at home?"

"I praised it for a long time. It's just enough to make a piece of clothing for the child." The person who spoke was a little proud.

After hearing this, Lin Qingyan glanced at the clothes Lin Qingxuan was wearing and secretly decided to go out alone later to take out the clothes in the space.

Lin Qingyan bought clothes for her family in advance, but she didn't put them in the package. After she came back, there were a lot of things going on at home, and she didn't have the chance to take them out all at once.

"Qingxuan, is there anything you want?"

"Sister, I don't want anything."

Lin Qingyan looked around the supply and marketing cooperative. Everyone was buying New Year's goods, but not many people were buying stationery, so she pulled Lin Qingxuan over there.

"Qingxuan, sister will buy you some pens and notebooks!"

Lin Qingyan walked to the front, originally wanting to buy a notebook, but was attracted by the schoolbag in front of her. Looking at the schoolbag in front of her, the current schoolbags are military green shoulder bags with red five-pointed stars embroidered on them.

This backpack is a symbol of fashion in this era. If you carry a backpack like this, you will attract a group of little fans.

Lin Qingxuan stared at the schoolbag without blinking, obviously very interested. Lin Qingxuan is 4 years younger than Lin Qingyan and is already in the first year of high school this year.

"Comrade, can you take this bag down and have a look at it?"

Lin Qingyan saw her brother's expression and saw that he obviously liked it, so she told the staff directly.

She often went to Hyundai and helped out in stores. She learned from Zhou Limei and knew the importance of service. She subconsciously used Hyundai's shopping methods.

"Comrade, this is a schoolbag. Not everyone can take it down and look at it. What if it gets damaged? Make sure you buy it before you take it down."

The staff on the other side saw that they were dressed OK and didn't say anything else.

Before Lin Qingyan could say anything, Lin Qingxuan pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, I have a schoolbag, no need to buy one."

Lin Qingyan thought about the pens and notebooks she had bought in Hyundai, as well as the high-tech audio-reading equipment, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.

She could take other unmarked things from the 70s, but she couldn't take out and use those high-tech products, so she could only sigh in her heart.

"Comrade, I bought this schoolbag. Take 10 of each of these notebooks and pens."

Lin Qingyan bought a bunch of school supplies directly, paid the money under the frequent gaze of the staff opposite, and walked out with Lin Qingxuan.

"Qingxuan, go home first. I'm going to get something from my friend."

"Sister, what friend? Can't I go with you?" Lin Qingxuan didn't want to be separated from his sister. In fact, he hadn't shopped enough.

"You don't know this friend. I'll be back soon. Take your schoolbag home first and see if mom and the others have returned."

Lin Qingxuan thought of his parents and reluctantly went home.

Liu Huizhen and Lin Jianshe went to Director Zhang to get the house early this morning. When they arrived, Director Zhang was still at home eating breakfast, and they were blocked at home by the two.

"Why did you come so early? Have you eaten?" Director Zhang put down the bowl in his hand.

"Director Zhang, we came here after having dinner. You eat first and we can talk after you finish." Lin Jianshe smiled and stopped Director Zhang from getting up.

Director Zhang received instructions from the factory director and knew the reason for their arrival, so he didn't say anything and quickly finished his breakfast.

"You came to me about the house?" Director Zhang did not play tricks on them.

"Yes, Director Zhang, it's about the house. I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin Jianshe put the things in his hand on the table.

"Lao Lin, what are you doing? This is my job. Besides, the factory manager has already told me that I just need to register and get a key." Director Zhang pretended to refuse.

Liu Huizhen smiled and said to his wife, "Sister-in-law, these are mountain products that Qingyan brought from the mountains. They are not worth much. It's the New Year, so it's a good time to change the taste."

When Director Zhang heard that it was mountain produce, he did not refuse. He just glanced at it and seemed to see meat inside.

He felt better now, suppressing his displeasure about having to work overtime during the New Year. After saying goodbye to his wife, he willingly took Lin Jianshe and Liu Huizhen out.

Lin Qingyan, who was alone, walked a long way to a remote corner, entered the space, packed up the things she had bought before and prepared to take home.

She collected the vegetables and fruits that had grown in the space and placed them in the storage room. After she left Xishui Village, she had no time to enter the space to work.

She was busy in the space for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she took her things and left the space.

When Lin Qingyan returned home with a big bag of things, Liu Huizhen and Lin Jianshe had already returned.

"Mom and Dad, you're back? Did you get the house?"

"Why are you carrying such a big bag?" Lin Jianshe and Lin Qingxuan hurried forward to help, carried the things to the living room and put them down.

"I've already got the house. It's a 2-bedroom house with a separate kitchen."

Liu Huizhen and Lin Jianshe saw the house and were both very satisfied. In this era, owning a two-bedroom house with a kitchen is a lifelong pride.

"This batch of houses is newly built, and many people are waiting to get a share. If it weren't for the fact that the ginseng caught the factory director's eye, the chances of getting a share would be slim with the relationship between me and your father."

Liu Huizhen followed Director Zhang's hint and learned that Lin Sheng's family members were not originally included in this batch of houses.

"When will the house be given to my brother and his family?" Lin Qingyan asked.

When Lin Sheng was mentioned, Liu Huizhen's interest in getting the house faded.

"Chinese New Year is tomorrow, let's talk about it after the New Year!"

It doesn't matter if the family splits up in these few days. People of this generation will spend the New Year together as a family even if they have bad relationships at other times.

"Will my brother and sister-in-law come back tomorrow to celebrate the New Year?" Lin Qingxuan asked what Lin Qingyan wanted to ask.
