Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 42: Big Shopping! (Please read on!)
The first station.

Led by Huang Guigen, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong first came to a small alley less than 50 meters away from the supply and marketing store, found an inconspicuous little door with a black cloth hanging on it, and walked in.

When they came out, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong already had a stack of food coupons, meat coupons, wine coupons, sugar coupons, and... cloth coupons...

That’s right, hidden behind this black cloth door is a cunning swindler who specializes in reselling all kinds of tickets!

Although it cost a lot of money, the things I was going to buy next could only be bought in state-owned supply and marketing stores.

In the absence of tickets, this is all that can be done.

After preparing the tickets, Fang Hongan and Wang Tong walked into the supply and marketing store not far away.

Fang Hongan first weighed ten kilograms of noodles.

Then came two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes.

The wine is a local brand of Xiaonan. Its reputation may not be as good as those famous brands, but in the Xiaonan area, it is also a popular product!
As for cigarettes, I didn’t buy the hard shell ones this time, but the soft shell red beans.

The retail price is one dollar per bag, and if you buy the whole package, it is exactly ten dollars per package.

Then I bought five bags of milk candy, and some fried snacks from the Xiaonan region, such as small sesame balls, lantern cakes, cat ears, and glutinous rice strips...

These...these are what Lan Wenxiu likes to eat.

When the two of them were dating, Fang Hongan would always think of ways to prepare something for her every time.

But after they got married, Lan Wenxiu made excuses, saying that she didn't like eating it anymore.

Fang Hongan knew in his heart that it wasn't that she didn't like eating, but she just said that on purpose to save money for the family.

In his previous life, Fang Hongan secretly made up his mind that he would compensate her well when his family conditions improved.

But that nightmare made everything a regret.

Now that the conditions exist, Fang Hongan naturally has to make up for this regret.

Although milk candy and fried fruits are not suitable for pregnant women to eat too much, it is completely okay to eat a little bit occasionally.

As for why they bought so much, apart from leaving some for Lan Wenxiu's greed, the rest, along with noodles, wine and cigarettes, were prepared to be used to celebrate the father-in-law's birthday in a few days.

When he married Lan Wenxiu, his father-in-law and his family were strongly opposed to it at first.

The main reason is that people think his family is poor, his parents both died young, and his fate is not good.

In the end, he couldn't resist Lan Wenxiu's stubborn temper and reluctantly agreed.

After getting married, I went back to my parents' home to pay New Year's greetings for the first year. My father-in-law was still angry and didn't look at me in a good mood.

Later, during the meal, the brother-in-law got drunk and said some words to criticize Fang Hongan, which made Fang Hongan angry. Fang Hongan was very sensitive about his reputation and had a strong sense of self-esteem. He was so angry that he pulled Lan Wenxiu, threw down the bowl and chopsticks and left.

Because of this unpleasant incident, Fang Hongan never visited his father-in-law's house again.

It was precisely because of this that in her previous life, Lan Wenxiu had no other choice but to go back to her parents' home to borrow food, and she did not let Fang Hongan accompany her, which ultimately led to the tragedy.

In the previous life, after the tragedy, at the funeral, looking at Fang Hongan kneeling on the ground, the father-in-law was so angry that he couldn't utter a word, but just slapped Fang Hongan three times. The mother-in-law also cried and screamed that she should not have married Lan Wenxiu to Fang Hongan.

But a few years later, during Fang Hongan's darkest and most desperate years, this pair of elderly people, whose hair had turned completely white, found Fang Hongan one by one and took the initiative to counsel him.

Yes, they never said a word of forgiving Fang Hongan from beginning to end.

But later, as his experience deepened, Fang Hongan realized that the moment the two old people were willing to come to their house, they had already forgiven him. After years of hardships, Fang Hongan gradually understood the good intentions of the couple.

They are just an ordinary couple who couldn't be more ordinary. All they do is want their daughter to be happy.

She opposed Lan Wenxiu's marriage to him because Fang Hongan's family was too poor and Lan Wenxiu would be doomed to suffer if she married him!
The reason why she didn't treat Fang Hongan well was because Lan Wenxiu had lost weight the first time she came back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings!
But just when he realized all this, the old couple had already returned to the earth.

Fortunately... after being reborn, Fang Hongan has the opportunity to change everything again.

My father-in-law is stubborn, has a bad temper and is not friendly to people, so I'll take this birthday celebration opportunity to change his perception.

The mother-in-law is worried that her daughter is not living well in Shiwan Village, so I will prove it to her.

As for the elder brother-in-law who likes to chase and beat him, if he doesn't go too far, he will just tolerate it. But if he goes too far, he will have to use all means to beat him back... Having lived two lives, Fang Hongan knows very well that a happy life can never be achieved by a young couple eating and drinking behind closed doors. It is always closely related to those relationships that are difficult to cut off and cannot be separated.

……

……

After purchasing these foods, Fang Hongan picked out some colorful cloths and tore off a few rolls of cloth.

then……

These are farm tools such as hoes and shovels.

Although these are available at home, they are old and were manufactured several years ago. After being damaged over a period of time, they are now somewhat overwhelmed, which greatly affects the efficiency of digging beehives.

Upgrading is urgent!
Finally, there are hardware supplies such as nails, loose-leaf hinges, wire, bearings, etc.

The mud house is quite old and many parts need to be repaired.

Although Fang Hongan has included the construction of a new house in his plan, it will take at least three or four months.

According to the schedule, he will live in the mud house at least until his wife Lan Wenxiu finishes giving birth and leaves the confinement period.

After a frantic purchase, Fang Hongan became the focus of the entire supply and marketing store. Many people even discussed behind his back which village this prodigal son came from.

If you buy like this, aren't you afraid of squandering your family fortune?

Wang Tong followed Fang Hongan and bought a lot of things.

Fang Hongan took a closer look and found that most of them were food and daily necessities.

It seems that he really listened to the words that were warned against him before.

The two men were carrying a bunch of stuff back to the donkey cart, and Meng Jiuxiang happened to be leaning over to look out the door.

Lunch should be ready.

The two were already starving, so they put down their food, went into the house and washed their hands. The food had already been served on the table.

Meng Jiuxiang fully demonstrated her hospitality. Apart from the small bowl of pickles, there were four dishes on the table, including two meat dishes, one was pork belly fried with chili peppers, and the other was steamed bacon!

This was the most sumptuous meal Fang Hongan had ever seen since his rebirth.

After sitting down, I couldn't help but be polite.

Fang Hongan and Wang Tong each finished three bowls of rice before putting down their chopsticks.

In fact, if we really want to eat, it is no problem for each of us to have another bowl, but after all, we are guests, so we can't be too willful.

After the two finished eating, Meng Jiuxiang kept them and let them rest for about an hour and a half.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Jiuxiang came out holding two jars.

This jar was the one Fang Hong had stored honey in before.

But what was in the jar now was obviously not honey, but lard.

Meng Jiuxiang poured the lard in after it had cooled down.

For fear that the lard might spill on the way, Meng Jiuxiang hoisted the two jars of lard into the well in his own home during the time when Fang Hongan and the others were resting.

By the time Fang Hongan opened it, a layer of snow-white fat had already solidified on the mouth of the jar.

Seeing that Meng Jiuxiang had even packed up the lard residue for them, Fang Hongan left these pretty good snacks to the enthusiastic couple on the grounds that he didn't like them, and also secretly left a bag of milk candies.

Then, the two drove the donkey cart, loaded with harvest, and set off on their journey home, facing the setting sun...
