Gu Xi first found a good hotel and stayed there for three days.Then I asked the girl at the front desk of the hotel where the vegetable seeds were sold, the largest vegetable market in the triangle field in Shanghai.

As expected of the famous Triangle Farm, Gu Xi found cucumber and wax gourd seeds there, and then bought watermelon seeds. There is only 20 square meters of land at home, so it's useless to buy too much.

After buying the seeds, Gu Xi exchanged tickets at the entrance of the vegetable market and exchanged various tickets with meat tickets, food tickets, cloth tickets, and industrial tickets.

在上海三天，他就差没有把上海搬回李家村。这三天，他分别买了：15条毛巾、20块肥皂、5双解放鞋、2双皮鞋、3双小孩鞋、20斤白酒、20斤白糖、20斤植物油、20斤盐、50包火柴盒、20刀草纸（每刀100张）、两条劳动裤、两件白衬衣、3米的劳动布、5米的灰色棉布、其他的生活用品等。

In the past three days, he spent all the exchange bills on his body, a total of 250 yuan.

Back in the county seat, Gu Xi rode a bicycle to pick up Xiao Chengtu.It happened to be Sunday, and Gao Liang's workshop was closed every Sunday, so Gao Liang was there.

He gave Gao Liang a pair of liberation shoes, Gao Dapeng a pair of black cloth rubber shoes, which were also canvas shoes, and gave Father Gao two catties of liquor.Mother Gao and Li Ximei are gone.He is a man, so he naturally buys men's things.

Gu Xi received an unprecedented welcome from the Gao family. Even the clever Gao Liang looked at the brother-in-law differently. As expected, the brother-in-law grew up quickly after the two elders left.No, he was smart before, but he was lazy.

Gao Liang and Li Ximei sent Gu Xi downstairs, and Gao Liang was a little surprised to see Gu Xi push the bicycle.He heard from Li Ximei that he was asked to inquire about bicycle tickets.It's just: "Patriotic, did you buy this bicycle?" There are no men in this era who don't like bicycles, just like there are no modern men who don't like cars.

"Yes, I bought it the day before I went to Shanghai. I rode to the train station on the day I went to Shanghai, and then my friend rode away. He knew that I would come back this afternoon, and sent it to the train station for me, just in time for me to ride back. Otherwise, these things would still be It's not easy to let go." Gu Xi said.

Gao Liang thought to himself, he was going to redefine this brother-in-law, he could even get bicycle tickets, it seemed that the friends his brother-in-law made had some backgrounds.

At 03:30, Gu Xi rode a bicycle to Lijia Village, and many people went to work at this moment.But there were also those who didn't go to work. When they saw Gu Xi's bicycle, they were instantly dumbfounded.

This is Li Aiguo?

"Patriotic, did you buy a bicycle?"

"How much is Aiguo's bicycle?"

"Patriotic, you are really magnificent now."

"Patriotic, you even bought a bicycle, are you talking about your daughter-in-law?"

"Patriotic, what did you buy for such a big package?"

Gu Xi picked a question and answered: "My parents just left. I have to keep mourning for three years, and I won't talk about my wife for three years. The bicycle was bought with the help of a friend in the department store, and it was bought with the compensation money from Widow Lin and the army. "

Everyone knows that he has 200 yuan in compensation from the army and 100 yuan in compensation from Widow Lin.

Hearing Gu Xi's words, he thought to himself, why didn't the widow Lin come and wrong herself, so that she would pay herself 100 yuan.

"Patriotic, you're back." Li Aihua's daughter-in-law took three-year-old Li Chenggong to play in front of their house. From a distance, she saw Gu Xi coming back on a bicycle and heard him talking to everyone.

"Sister-in-law." Gu Xi called out, "Sister-in-law, I just came back, so I went in to tidy up first."

"Hey, you go." Li Aihua's wife kept staring at him as he pushed the bicycle into the house.

Gu Xi pushed the bicycle into the room, and Xiao Chengtu followed in, then stared at the big package, he also wanted to know what was inside.

Gu Xi was amused by his appearance, and took out two pairs of shoes from the package: "These are shoes for my son, do you like them?"

Xiao Chengtu burst into tears: "I like it." This is the first time he has received new shoes.

Gu Xi patted his head: "There are also schoolbags, exercise books, pencils, and a pencil case." The schoolbag is an army green shoulder bag in the style of the People's Liberation Army bag, with a five-pointed star on it and the words Serve the People.Exercise books are quite common, no different from modern ones, they contain line by line. In fact, he bought 10 and only took out one.The pencils are 12 Chinese pencils, but Gu Xi took out one and gave it to Xiao Chengtu, and he hid the other.The stationery box is a single-layer one, with patterns of working people's bumper harvests painted on it. "Like it?"

Xiao Chengtu was holding his schoolbag, tears still streaming down his face.

Gu Xi looked at him and smiled.

But then, Xiao Chengtu rushed over and hugged him: "Dad...Dad..." He choked up and cried.

"Be good, don't cry." Gu Xi said, "You are a man, no matter what happens or what setbacks you encounter, you can't cry."

"Ah."

"But you can cry in front of Dad. If you encounter difficulties that you can't solve by yourself, you can tell Dad." Gu Xi said again.

"Ah."

"Okay, put this in your room."

"Yeah." Xiao Chengtu put the pencil case and homework book in his schoolbag, put them on his back, and went back to his room with his shoes.

Next, Gu Xi sorted out his things.Two pairs of work pants, two shirts, two pairs of leather shoes, and two pairs of liberation shoes.

He plans to make 5 T-shirts for himself and Xiao Chengtu to make 4 T-shirts with 4 meters of gray cotton cloth, give away one meter, and make the rest into underwear and boxer shorts. The 3-meter work pants are nine feet long, the three feet are given to Grandpa Li, and the six feet are kept by myself.

The father and son ate noodles for dinner, which was really convenient.After eating, Gu Xi took Li Chengtu to the next door to find Second Aunt Li.

Second Aunt Li just got off work and hasn't eaten yet.

"Patriotic, are you back? How is Shanghai?" Second Aunt Li saw that Gu Xi was carrying the basket, and knew it was for herself.

"It's very big and prosperous." Gu Xi said, "Auntie, I bought some cloth, but I don't know how to make clothes, so I need your help."

"Hey, you need to find your second sister-in-law to make clothes. I can't do it with rough hands, but your second sister-in-law can do it." Second Aunt Li said.Li Aihua and the Li family ranked second, and Li Aizhong ranked first.

"What kind of clothes are you making? Come, come, tell me." Li Aihua's daughter-in-law had already set her sights on her, and when she heard Second Aunt Li mentioned him, he hurried out.

"Then please trouble the second sister-in-law." Gu Xi said, "Second aunt, you can also help me refer to the two sizes."

"Okay." Second Aunt Li followed.Otherwise, my uncle and sister-in-law are in the same room, and it is indeed somewhat misleading.

When Gu Xi opened the lid of the basket, Second Aunt Li and Li Aihua's daughter-in-law were shocked, they didn't expect there were so many things inside.How much did it cost? "Second Aunt, the two catties of liquor and Jiefang shoes are for Second Uncle, and this gray cotton cloth is for Xiao Chenggong."

The cotton is soft and comfortable for kids to wear.

In fact, Li Aihua's wife also wanted Jiefang shoes for her Aihua to wear.But Gu Xi gave the cotton cloth, which was still three feet, and she was also happy when she thought of her son. "Patriotic, you are so caring. This... This cotton cloth is still used to make clothes for Chengtu."

"That's right, I'll take the white wine for your second uncle, and you should wear the Jiefang shoes yourself."

"Second aunt, I don't have any relatives anymore, and I don't have any parents at home. If you decline, don't you want me to be filial. And second sister-in-law, this is my wish for Xiao Chenggong, you can't make the decision on his behalf. Besides, if you are like this, how can I have the nerve to trouble you to make clothes." Gu Xi said.

"You've said everything. I really can't say enough about you. You read and speak nicely." Second Aunt Li said, "Come on, I'll take your measurements and what kind of clothes do you plan to make."

Gu Xi took out the paper, which was torn from the workbook: "This is the jacket, four for me, and four for Xiao Chengtu. A total of 9 feet, is it enough?"

"The clothes are simple and cost-effective, enough." Li Aihua's daughter-in-law said, "I'll rush out two for you tomorrow, and I'll give you two more the day after tomorrow."

"So fast? Is it too rushed?" Gu Xi was also surprised.

"It's simple, just take some time when cutting the size, and then sew it." Li Aihua's wife said.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law, I'll treat you to some meat when it's ready." Gu Xi said cheerfully.

"Hahaha, you kid..." Second Aunt Li slapped him on the head as he laughed.

After Gu Xi left, Li Aihua's daughter-in-law hurriedly told Second Aunt Li about the bicycle, but Second Aunt Li was taken aback, she didn't know about it yet.

"Mom, you said that Aiguo suddenly bought bicycles and fabrics?"

"What's the point? Widow Lin paid 100, the army paid 200, and he has 300."

After Gu Xi left Aunt Li's house, she went to Grandpa Li's house again.I gave Grandma Li the white paper in the style of cotton cloth and underwear, and then gave Grandma Li two catties of fine flour and two catties of rice.I also gave Grandpa Li two catties of liquor, a pair of Jiefang shoes, and three feet of labor cloth.

Only then did he come back with Xiao Chengtu.

Grandpa Li didn't say anything from the beginning to the end.

When I went back at night, the father and son used new towels when they took a shower.One Gu Xi washed his face and the other wiped his body.Xiao Chengtu has a small face and a small butt, so he cut a towel and used it as two.

After getting new towels, Xiao Chengtu especially liked to wash his face.

On the second day, Gu Xi still cooked sweet potato porridge and 4 boiled eggs for two days.While it was still cooking, Carpenter Li's voice sounded at the door.

"Patriotic, patriotic, have you woken up yet?"

Xiao Chengtu, who was lighting the fire, ran out and saw Carpenter Li, his son, his wife, and his daughter-in-law carrying a bed in.

"Hey, I'm awake." Gu Xi was overjoyed when he saw the new bed, and hurriedly asked them to help move the bed.The original bed was moved into the previous house of Zhang Ercui and Li Daniu.

"Patriotic, you bought a bicycle, you are really good." Carpenter Li's son said, "This bicycle is very stylish, how much is it?"
