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

Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo's two shiny bicycles had already been parked at the door, and the bells were dimly shining in the sunlight.

The three of them smiled at each other and got on their bicycles. Cheng Hai sat on the back seat of Wang Jianguo's bicycle, gently holding the corners of his clothes with both hands to prevent him from falling accidentally.

He Yushui rode the other one steadily, and the three of them rushed towards the train station against the breeze.

Soon, we arrived at the crowded train station.

The square in front of the station is bustling with activity, with hawking sounds, shouting, and the sound of rolling suitcases interweaving together to form a unique "symphony in front of the station".

The three of them did not rush to wait for the bus, but walked towards a small house in the corner with familiarity, where Uncle Zhang was guarding the luggage.

When I opened the door, the room was a little dark and filled with a faint smell of tobacco.

Uncle Zhang was sitting on a somewhat worn-out chair, wearing reading glasses, looking down at an old book. When he heard the noise, he raised his head and a bright smile instantly broke out on his face.

"Hey, you're here!" Uncle Zhang greeted them warmly, quickly put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet them.

The three of them sat around Uncle Zhang. Wang Jianguo cleared his throat and spoke first:

"Uncle Zhang, we came here this time to talk to you about the situation after the supply and marketing cooperative opened."

As he spoke, a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

"Guess what? In the first few days after opening, customers came in waves."

"Our supply and marketing cooperative has a wide range of products at fair prices, and everyone is full of praise. Just two days ago, the rice, flour, grain and oil shelves were almost empty, which kept us very busy!"

He Yushui also nodded and added:

"Uncle Zhang, many villagers came to tell us that the opening of the supply and marketing cooperative has made it much more convenient for them to buy things. They used to have to travel a long way, but now they can get it at their doorstep."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a cheerful little bird telling good news.

Cheng Hai continued:

"Uncle, we are also planning to get some new goods later to enrich the variety and meet more of your needs."

His face was full of enthusiasm and his eyes were full of longing for the future.

Uncle Zhang sat there, listening quietly, his smile growing brighter and brighter, his eyes sparkling with tears of excitement. He seemed to see a magnificent picture:

In the Great Northern Wilderness, supply and marketing cooperatives have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, with a wide variety of goods on display. People shuttle between them with happy smiles on their faces. The entire Great Northern Wilderness is booming at an unprecedented speed.

"Yeah!"

Uncle Zhang couldn't help but applaud.

"Seeing you young people so motivated, we in the Great Northern Wilderness definitely have hope!"

His voice trembled slightly, full of expectations for this land and these young people.

Time was running out, and the three of them knew that they had an important mission in the city and could not delay.

Although Uncle Zhang held their hands and had a lot to say and a lot of concern to give them, they could only say goodbye in a hurry with apologies and reluctance.

Wang Jianguo spoke first, his words were sincere:

"Uncle Zhang, I'm really sorry, our schedule is tight and we have to rush to the city to do some work, so I won't chat with you any longer."

As he spoke, he pointed to two bicycles parked nearby.

"I'd like to trouble you to take care of these two cars. When we come back, we will come to pick them up and spend some quality time with you."

Although Uncle Zhang felt a little disappointed, he still readily agreed:

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry, I'll leave the car here, it's safe!"

The three of them turned around and walked quickly to the waiting hall of the train station. It was the peak travel season, and the hall was crowded and noisy.

They dragged their luggage and struggled through the crowd, looking for the corresponding waiting area.

He Yushui followed Wang Jianguo closely, holding onto the corner of his clothes with her little hands, fearing that she would get lost in the crowded crowd.

Cheng Hai was carrying a large bag on his back and holding a bag in his hand. Beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them off. His eyes were full of anxiety.

I finally got on the train, and the carriage was packed.

The aisle was filled with passengers, their luggage was large and small, some were piled under the seats, and some could only be carried by people.

The three of them carefully avoided obstacles along the way and found a small space at the connection between the carriages, where they managed to gain a foothold.

The train started moving slowly. The bumps along the way made people exhausted, but their minds had already drifted to the city, thinking about the supply and marketing cooperative matters that they were about to face.

After a long and arduous journey, the train finally slowly pulled into the city station. The three of them got off the train along with the crowd.

After leaving the station, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath, and the familiar city atmosphere hit him. He turned to look at He Yushui and Cheng Hai, and said with a smile:

"We've been here once, so we're familiar with the road. Just follow me."

After saying that, he took the two of them and walked quickly along the route he remembered.

He Yushui and Cheng Hai followed behind, looking at the bustling city with curiosity.

The streets are lined with tall buildings, with a variety of shop signs, and a constant stream of pedestrians and vehicles, which is completely different from the quiet and simple Beidahuang. He Yushui couldn't help but marvel:

"Wow, it's much more lively here than where we are!"

Cheng Hai also nodded in agreement, his eyes full of curiosity and longing.

Not long after, relying on memory, Wang Jianguo stopped at the corner of a busy street, pointed to a spacious and bright building in front of him and said:

"Look, that's the supply and marketing cooperative!"

He Yushui and Cheng Hai looked in the direction he was heading and saw a large building.

The three big characters "Supply and Marketing Cooperative" above the gate are vigorous and powerful, and the crowds of customers coming in and out make the place very lively.

As the end of the year draws closer, the whole city is immersed in a busy and festive atmosphere.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and big red lanterns hung high. The faces of passers-by are filled with joy of welcoming the New Year, and the large and small bags of New Year's goods in their hands add a bit of festive color.

The supply and marketing cooperative they are in at the moment, as the city's largest and most comprehensive supply hub, naturally became the first choice for citizens to purchase New Year's goods.

Before getting close to the supply and marketing cooperative, you can see crowds of people surging and jostling each other.

Wang Jianguo, He Yushui and Cheng Hai stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at the bustling scene in front of them and looking at each other in surprise.

Wang Jianguo frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety. He raised his voice and shouted to the two people beside him:

"What should we do? There are too many people!"

He Yushui held Wang Jianguo's arm tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and muttered softly:

"Let's squeeze in slowly. We can get in eventually."
