In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Among them, some are over 70 years old and have spent their entire lives quietly on this land, never stepping out of this familiar yet closed world.

At this moment, facing these products that they had only heard of in distant rumors before, their eyes sparkled with childlike curiosity.

"Aunt, what do you think this is? It's shiny and slippery to the touch."

An old lady holding a plastic basin as if she was holding a rare treasure turned to ask the person next to her.

"I don't know either. I guess it's used for washing your face. It looks much more fashionable than the wooden basin we use at home!"

The woman who was asked came over and looked at it carefully, her eyes full of curiosity.

They carefully stretched out their rough hands and gently touched the new things they had never seen before.

Sometimes I touch the smooth plastic utensils, sometimes I look at the delicate metal products, as if each product contains a whole new world.

They were immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves, as if this trip to the supply and marketing cooperative was a wonderful journey that broadened their horizons and increased their knowledge.

Of course, there are also some villagers in the crowd who are goal-oriented and walking in a hurry.

They tightly held the money and precious tickets they had saved with great difficulty in their hands, and walked between the shelves with determined eyes, carefully selecting the goods they had long coveted and that their families urgently needed.

"Comrade, how much is this cloth? Give me a few feet of cloth. My wife has been talking about making a new dress for a long time."

A middle-aged woman stood in front of the fabric counter, carefully felt the texture of the fabric, and asked the salesperson.

"The quality of this cloth is very good. Just add five dollars for three feet of cloth coupons." The salesperson replied enthusiastically.

These villagers are well aware of how difficult life is. Every penny and every ticket is hard-earned, so they are extremely cautious when purchasing goods.

Repeatedly compare the quality, price and practicality of products, and strive to meet the family's greatest needs with limited resources.

In this lively scene, the discussions of men and women rise and fall, interweaving into a unique country symphony.

Some were excitedly sharing the new and interesting things they had just discovered, their words filled with uncontrollable surprise.

Others were sharing their shopping experiences and aspirations for life, hoping to add a touch of color to their ordinary days through these new products.

Others are lamenting the changes of the times, recalling the difficult years in the past, and are full of gratitude for the convenience and enriched life brought by the supply and marketing cooperatives today.

Everyone was talking at the same time, immersing the entire supply and marketing cooperative in an atmosphere of joy, peace and hope, as if foreshadowing that this land was about to usher in a better tomorrow.

The sunlight shines through the spacious and bright windows of the supply and marketing cooperative, onto the dazzling shelves and reflecting the bustling crowd.

In the crowd, several villagers were walking between the shelves, chatting excitedly.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, look at this supply and marketing cooperative. It's really impressive! The area is many times larger than our original small grocery store."

A slightly plump, dark-skinned middle-aged man, holding a piece of freshly selected soap in his hand, his eyes were still looking around, and he said in amazement.

"And the goods here are all kinds of things, including food, daily necessities, and clothing. It's like bringing the entire market into the house!"

"you do not say!"

A tall and thin villager called Lao Zhang took over the conversation. He was looking at a brand new hoe carefully, his eyes full of curiosity.

"I have a relative who works in the city. I was lucky enough to go to the city's supply and marketing cooperative with him once before. Let me tell you, it was a grand event, a two-story building."

"There are so many products inside that it's dizzying. Although the variety of goods in our supply and marketing cooperative is not as wide as in the city, it's not much different. With this scale, it's already top-notch in our rural area!"

An elderly woman next to him, with her hair neatly combed and her face full of traces of time, frowned slightly and interrupted with some concern:

"Ah, although this supply and marketing cooperative looks good, I always feel a little uneasy. Our place is remote and the flow of people is not that large."

"Can you support such a large supply and marketing cooperative? Do you still remember the previous supply and marketing cooperative? It closed down not long after it opened. I was worried that this one would also..."

"Grandma, please stop worrying about it!"

A young daughter-in-law smiled and comforted him. She was holding a child in her arms, and the child's eyes were looking at everything around him curiously.

"Look at the appearance of this supply and marketing cooperative. To be able to open such a large place, there must be a powerful person behind it."

"Besides, life is getting better and better now, and the needs of ordinary people are increasing. I think this supply and marketing cooperative will definitely be able to continue for a long time!"

Not far away, Wang Jianguo and Cheng Hai were busy moving the newly arrived goods onto the shelves and arranging them neatly.

Their foreheads were covered with sweat and their clothes on their backs were soaked with sweat, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

The two of them worked skillfully while listening quietly to the villagers' discussions.

Hearing everyone's praise and concerns for the supply and marketing cooperative, the two looked at each other, a hint of relief and confidence flashed in their eyes, and they shook their heads slightly.

However, they did not stop what they were doing. They just smiled at each other in tacit understanding and continued to work hard.

They know that time will prove everything and that this supply and marketing cooperative will bring real changes to the lives of the villagers.

As time passed slowly, it was noon before we knew it. This was the time when every household was preparing to have lunch.

However, the supply and marketing cooperative was still crowded with people, with no sign of a decrease in the number of people. Many of the people were villagers who deliberately avoided the morning rush hour and chose to come at lunch time.

They thought there might be fewer people at this time, but they never expected that everyone had the same idea, so the supply and marketing cooperative was still very lively.

Shen Chunhua and several of his colleagues had anticipated this long before the opening. On such an important day, there would surely be a constant stream of folks coming to shop and watch the fun.

They were afraid that it would be difficult to have time to sit down and have a proper meal, so they prepared dry food in advance and hid it in the corner of the supply and marketing cooperative counter.

Taking advantage of the time when there were fewer customers, a few people quickly took out their dry food and ate a few bites hastily.

Some took the dry steamed buns and swallowed them quickly with boiled water; some took out the flattened cakes from their pockets and took big bites of them.

After simply filling their stomachs, they quickly returned to their work, continuing to serve the villagers with smiles and enthusiasm, and patiently answering various questions.

Their hands move skillfully to select products, calculate prices and pack goods for customers.

Busy figures shuttle back and forth in the supply and marketing cooperative, forming a picture of rural life full of vitality and vigor.
