Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

The aunt said: "My surname is Wang, and my family is on the other side of Xibozi."

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Aunt Wang, you will work here in the future, we will see each other every day, there is no need to salute, besides, I can't bear to salute me at your age."

Aunt Wang still couldn't help it, she smiled nervously, and said, "Yes, yes, we trained before we came here, and when it comes to working in someone's house, you have to salute when you see the owner's house. You don't need to do it outside."

Zhang Xingming frowned and asked, "Who said that? Who trained you?"

Aunt Wang panicked for a moment, and dared not speak.

Zhang Xingming took a long breath and said, "Then you should be busy, Aunt Wang, I'm going out, so I don't need to salute anymore, and no one else needs to."

Saying hello to the security guard at the door, Zhang Xingming went out, stood at the door and thought for a long time before he remembered where the grocery store was. A large supermarket is a must, and it is too much effort to buy something.

A few hundred meters away, there is a grocery store. The grocery store is an upgraded version of the canteen. In fact, it is a bit like a small supermarket in later generations. The canteen mainly sells daily necessities, while the grocery store mainly sells non-staple food.

Zhang Xingming knocked on the window and shouted: "I want big bags for sugar."

A man in his 40s leaned over and looked out the window and said, "There are no big bags, or?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Then take five bags and find a pocket for me to put them in."

The man said, "I don't have a pocket, do you want more?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Yes. You have to find something for me to grab more, right?" In 85, convenience bags, that is, plastic bags for vests, hadn't been popularized yet, and they were still high-end items in the eyes of ordinary people.

The man left the window, went inside to tinker for a while, and handed out a small, slightly torn cardboard box containing five bags of sugar.

"Four yuan and six, do you want anything else?" The man asked while passing things. In 85, a catty of bagged sugar cost nine cents a pack.

Zhang Xingming took the broken cardboard box, handed him five yuan, and said, "I don't need anything at home, so I'll buy what I want."

The man found forty cents and came out, and said, "You live next door? I haven't seen you before, you just moved here?"

Zhang Xingming nodded, put forty cents into his trouser pocket, and walked back with the broken cardboard box.

After entering the house, sent the sugar to the kitchen, Zhang Xingming went back to his room and lay down on the bed.

At this time in the last life, popsicles cost 5 cents a piece, and cream popsicles costing 1 cents and ice creams costing 5 cents began to appear. My mother ended the popsicle business and started selling fruits and vegetables. From 85 to 93 , Get up early and climb dark, and stand in the snow until dark in winter.

Thinking of the smiling faces of his mother and father now, Zhang Xingming is full of happiness and satisfaction in his heart, making everyone around him happy, this is the meaning of his rebirth.

In a daze, Zhang Xingming fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside the window. In mid-October, it will be dark around 05:30 in the northeast.

After getting up and washing his face, stretching out his wrinkled clothes, Zhang Xingming went out of the house.

The TV was ringing in grandma's room. Grandma was sitting on the bed watching TV while grandpa was listening to the radio. I don't know how they resist mutual interference.

Zhang Xingming asked at the door: "Grandma, do you want a drink?"

Grandma turned to look at him and said, "Sweet and sour? I don't drink sour ones." She turned to grandpa again, "Old man, do you want to drink?"

Grandpa closed his eyes and tapped to listen to the commentary on the radio, when he heard grandma ask, he raised his head and said, "What do you want to drink?"

Grandma said: "Drink, sweet water."

Grandpa put his head back again, closed his eyes, and said, "I have boiled water here. If you don't drink it, it's not good."

Zhang Xingming smiled and went to the refrigerator in the living room to get a few cans of Jianlibao out and put them on grandma's bedside table.

The body and spirit of grandma and grandpa in this life are obviously better than that of the previous life. Zhang Xingming is happy from the heart.

She opened a can and handed it to grandma. Grandma took a sip and lifted it up to look at the can. She didn't know a few words, and she didn't know what she was looking at. She nodded while looking at it and said, "It's very sweet. delicious."

Then handed it to grandpa and said, "Come on, old man, take a sip, this is sweet."

Grandpa sat up and took a sip of Jianlibao, then handed it back to grandma, saying, "It's too sweet, I can't get used to it."

Grandma glared at Grandpa and said, "Don't drink it if you're not used to it. I'll drink it myself."

Because no one in the family is in the habit of drinking beverages, there are no beverages at all these days. If I insist on it, it is just soda.

It was not until the mid-90s that the beverage market prospered, and all kinds of beverages came into play all of a sudden, and the choices of ordinary people increased.

When Zhang Xingming was in Nanfen, he bought milk powder and malted milk for his grandma and the others to drink. This was the first time for him to drink.

It is said that in this era, milk powder is not much worse than fresh milk, whether it is in terms of taste or texture.

Moreover, on the outer packaging of milk powder in this period, "whole milk powder" will be specially marked in large characters. No one buys skim milk powder at this time, and the era when the whole people are short of oil and fat is unimaginable for modern people.

At that time, the best-selling brands on the market were Jinxing and Guangming.

Chapter 232 Where is my house (2)

At six o'clock, several store managers and accountants from Benxi entered the house together with the eldest sister, and there was another burst of envy and admiration.This house is really eye-catching when it is here.

Zhang Xingming brought drinks and ice cream for everyone, everyone sat down in the living room and chattered, some diligently ran to the kitchen to ask for help, but were whisked out by their mother.

At one o'clock past eight o'clock in the evening, the travel-worn second sister and Chunmei entered the courtyard, marveling as they walked in, but the two had just returned from Hong Kong, so they were not as excited as the others.

Zhang Xingming stood by the sofa in the living room and listened to the elder sister and the others. He turned his head and saw the second sister and Chunmei walking in slowly, walked to the door and shouted: "Second sister, sister Chunmei, this way."

The second sister pulled Chunmei over, walked up the steps and said, "Why is it so big? It will take a lot of work to clean it up from now on. Who is this? Your house? Where is my house?"

Chunmei laughed and said, "This question sounds so strange."

Zhang Xingming said with a smile: "This is my house, I'm sure that door is your mother's house, as for your house, who knows where it is."

The second sister stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Xingming, patted his buttocks twice, and said, "Who's there?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Didn't I hear that you came back? I asked everyone to come and welcome you. Just after dinner, I will talk about the two ends. I will go back to Nanfen tomorrow. Oh, yes , my eldest sister in your family will get married on December 12th, and my eldest brother's New Year's Day has already been fixed."

The second sister stood still, blinked her eyes for a long time, and said, "Why are there all of a sudden a pile of knots? What's wrong?"

Zhang Xingming pulled her inside and said, "After the new year, we plan to open two factories and let the elder brother and elder sister be the factory directors, so the two of them want to get things done before the year and have a good job after the year."

The second sister nodded, said "oh", took the slippers that Zhang Xingming handed over and changed into them, and entered the living room with Chunmei.

When a group of people met, there was a burst of twittering. The second sister and Chunmei had been away for more than a year, and everyone naturally had a lot to say. The age relationship, at this time, the colleagues and sisters are really close, no worse than real sisters How much, unlike later generations, is full of intrigue.

People in this era are poor in material, but full of spirit.

A group of girls here are reminiscing about the old days, while the parents over there, Sister Heping, began to set up tables and invite everyone to come to the table.

A group of women came to the table, Sister Ping and her parents brought out the dishes, Niang Sun brought out the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone went to serve their meals.

Zhang Xingming opened two bottles of fruit wine, poured some for everyone, raised his glass, and said: "Congratulations to Comrade Sun Peiling for returning from studying in Hong Kong, welcome back to the big family, and hope that comrades will meet again and again in the days to come." Encouragement, continue to work hard for the cause of the party and the country.”

Everyone laughed, and my mother reached out and patted Zhang Xingming, and said, "Run the train with your mouth full, all right. Come on, let's have a drink together to celebrate Peiling and Chunmei's return from school."
