Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

After eating, Yin Ling took her grandma for a walk around the mall and bought a lot of things.

She likes to eat various nuts, fruits and dried meat, and her grandma can eat some every day.

There is no need to buy rice, flour, grains and oils, because there are quite a lot of them at home. Every year during the Chinese New Year, several uncles will buy them. Relatives will also buy some milk and eight-treasure porridge when they go around. Last night, my grandma even pulled her into the room that is usually used as a utility room. There was also a lot of milk, and grandma couldn't drink it all by herself.

I also bought some clothes for myself and my grandma. She didn’t need any clothes. In addition to the new clothes she bought for her children every year, she also used the old clothes that her wife and daughter didn’t wear. Anyway, she had no shortage of clothes. But Yin Ling still bought her a few sets. In addition to summer short-sleeved suits, thinking that autumn would soon begin in September, she also bought two sets of long-sleeved autumn clothes, and also bought a few sets of underwear. The old man didn't pay attention to this. Children will basically buy them, and the ones they wear are very old.

I also bought some fruits. The ones I bought were cherries, strawberries, kiwis and the like that I couldn’t usually eat at home. I couldn’t put them away, so I didn’t buy much. To be honest, it was what Yin Ling wanted to eat.

In the end, Yin Ling reluctantly stopped spending money after her grandma nudged her, and the two of them packed up their bags and got in the car before going back to the village.

Grandma kept talking about her along the way. Fortunately, the old man's well-intentioned words went in and out of Yin Ling's ears, becoming the background sound of driving.

When Yin Ling got home, he asked his grandma to take a nap, and he threw all the new clothes into the washing machine to drain the water. Unfortunately, the washing machine broke. He had bought this washing machine for several years, and his grandma didn't use it. It was cold in winter. The clothes were too thick to be washed by hand. I didn't expect that I would stop working after being teased by her today.

Looking at the water all over the yard, Yin Ling simply went online and placed an order at a brand flagship store. The trade-in package included installation and delivery the next day.

Then she looked around the house inside and out. The refrigerator was not very good, made too much noise, had poor cooling effect, and consumed a lot of electricity. It seemed that she had bought it when she was in high school. It must have been ten years ago!Change it!

I placed an order on the official website again, traded in the old one for a new one, and it happened to be delivered together tomorrow.

Grandma now lives in her uncle's house. In rural areas, it is default for the elderly to live with the eldest brother in the family. It is a self-built house, a three-story building with a yard. The kitchen is a separate room in the yard, which is very large.The entrance of the yard is still nearly 20 meters away from the road. Half of it is for bricks, and some vegetables are planted. Now the main planting is lotus root okra, which is growing well. Yin Ling has not had time to take a bite.The other half is for vehicle access and parking, which is not too small and very comfortable.

The place is really spacious, and there is a field behind the house for personal use, and they also grow a variety of vegetables for their own consumption. This is the case for every house in the two rows of houses on the roadside.More comfortable than the city.

Reluctantly, Yin Ling had to wash these new clothes by hand. Fortunately, he only needed to wash them in the water and bask in the sun.

Dinner was leftover soup from lunch. Neither grandson nor grandson had a big appetite, so there was no need to cook anything new to get some fruits, which would save trouble.

The refrigerator and washing machine were delivered early the next morning. After grandma walked around outside to show off the new clothes she bought for her granddaughter, when she got home, the delivery man had already left.

After walking around the house, she didn't find anything wrong, but she was a little confused when she saw the two cardboard boxes placed by the worker in the entrance hall. "Lingling, did you buy something?"

Yin Ling pointed to the refrigerator in the house and the washing machine in the water room, and grandma suddenly realized.

"You child, this must have cost a lot of money. It's not easy for you to make money and you haven't saved it. How much money did you spend? Grandma will reimburse you. In fact, I have wanted to change it for a long time, but before I had time, you changed it just right. ." Yin Ling knew that the old man didn't nag much when the situation was settled, for fear of upsetting his children, so he changed his explanation.

"Oh, no, I'm happy to spend money on my grandma. When did you buy the air conditioner in our house? I think it's quite new." Yin Ling changed the topic. He originally wanted to replace the air conditioner together, but after a while It looks pretty new. I slept there for two nights and there was no noise. It was fine and I didn’t move it.

"I just changed it during the Chinese New Year last year. Your mother gave it to me."

Yin Ling nodded, and it suddenly dawned on her. She didn't go home for the Chinese New Year last year, so she didn't know. Someone would talk to her about changing the air conditioner at home.

"That's good, but my daughter is considerate, isn't she?"

"No, my granddaughter is also considerate."

Although the grandma felt sorry for money, she felt even more sorry for her granddaughter. In a blink of an eye, she took out a bracelet from the corner of the box in the house. It was an old-fashioned gold bracelet, thin and uneven. The style was also very old, but the color was very new. , it can be seen that it has basically never been worn, and it is tightly wrapped in layers of cloth and plastic bags.

Probably because Yin Ling's hands were so smooth and her neck was so smooth, and because she had spent so much money on her in the past two days, and because his daughter wanted so much money for a child, the old man felt bad, so he took out the pressure Give her the stuff at the bottom of the box.

"Oh, grandma, I don't want it. I have it. I have gold bracelets and gold necklaces. I just don't want to wear them. Just keep yours. How can I ask for your things? They are not for Junjun to get a wife." Yin Ling joked. Said.

Several uncles said that the conditions were not very good. They all had ordinary education backgrounds and worked outside for decades to save some money. In addition to spending more than 20 to [-] thousand yuan to build a house in their hometown, they also bought their own houses in small cities outside. I basically settled there when I bought an apartment. The older children went to school in my hometown, and the younger ones went to school outside.

There is no doubt that there are still many left-behind children in rural areas of Yin Ling's generation.

Cousin Xie Jun is two years younger than her. He is 28 years old this year. This age is not old outside, but it is very old at home, especially if he does not get married, it will really make the whole family miserable.

There are many reasons for not getting married. The most likely reason is that family conditions are not good enough to make up for his own shortcomings.

What are his own conditions? He majored in international studies at his second school, but he had to go abroad for two years. At that time, he didn’t pay much attention when applying for the exam. Only after he passed the exam did he realize that it was a trap. He couldn’t change his major. Going abroad would be too much of a burden on his family. And the major was average. In the end, his family and he decided not to go to college, so he only went to college for two years and didn't get a diploma.

After I came out, I worked in various jobs. I worked with my father in a factory, worked as a chef in a restaurant, and now I am working as an e-commerce live broadcast operator. I work overtime until very late every day. The economic situation is not good and my job is unstable. It has been two years. I have changed several companies.

In addition, his appearance and figure do not have a very good advantage, so it is understandable that Yin Ling is still single.

She is so outstanding that she is still single now that she is thirty!
Of course, boys will have greater pressure. After all, boys are valued over girls in my hometown, and the family’s focus is on boys, so there is naturally a lot of pressure.Moreover, marriages of their generation don't seem to be as smooth as their parents' generation. They are all picky and even unwilling to get married and have children.
