Yao Dasha was stupid and crazy, unreasonable. His reputation for beating whoever he caught was soon spread in the mining machine village.

This is also the credit of Zhang Shuncai's two sons, plus his wife, broadcasting around.

But ordinary people still feel like they are mirror-like. Since Dasha cleaned the village, the streets have been the cleanest.

He never was lazy. There was no garbage on the street, no fallen leaves, and the ditch was never blocked. Sewage flowed across the street. Even the public toilets were much cleaner than before.

This child is not bad-hearted and never bullies honest people.

You didn’t deliberately go to cause trouble for others and force them to get angry, and they would beat you? The rabbit was anxious and biting people. Why didn’t Shao Ling, who swept the street with him, say he was bad? Aunt Jiang is so powerful and doesn’t suffer any losses. Why didn’t he say he was bad? She just cares about his food and drinks?

Your Zhang family has always relied on their own men as deputy directors, and is rampant in the countryside, unreasonable, taking advantage of others, and sticking to the public. Now you meet your opponent? You deserve it!

Yao Yuan is really not bad. He will be kind to others who are good to him. He is also repaying his kindness for Uncle Yao.

A person who is careless is born honest and dull. In that era of lack of clothing and food, it is impossible to survive safely, have a job and a home, and it is impossible for those who are kind to take care of him and treat him well.

By the time the Chinese New Year was approaching, he went to the train station to work as a porter, and had earned fifteen yuan. With the four or five cents paid by the unit, he had nineteen or fifty cents in his hand.

He told Aunt Jiang that he would not give this 1950 cents to Aunt Jiang. He wanted to use this money to buy some gifts for Kang Kang and Meimei for the New Year. Because Kang Kang wrote that she was coming back for the New Year.

He went to the train station to work as a porter, and could not hide it from Aunt Jiang. Because when buying grain, Aunt Jiang would find that his quantitative amount had become 45 kilograms.

Aunt Jiang was not only feeling distressed, but also being moved.

The child is sensible and knows that he earns food and does not cause trouble for others. If his parents are alive and knows that Dasha is so sensible, they will be so relieved!

At the beginning, Yao Yuan went to the train station to work as a porter, and Aunt Jiang was also worried. She secretly followed him and watched. Seeing that Yao Yuan was stronger than those strong laborers, she also knew how to use tricks, knew how to be lazy, and didn't sell her strength, so she gradually felt relieved.

At this time, she had already firmly determined the concept of being stupid but not being stupid. When Yao Yuan proposed to buy New Year gifts for Kang Kang and Meimei, Aunt Jiang became even more firm in her thoughts.

If a child knows gratitude, it just proves that the child is not stupid at all.

She said to Yao Yuan, "It's so stupid, it's not easy for you to save some money, so you'd better keep it for yourself. In addition, Aunt Jiang is saving you a monthly salary for you. When you get older, you can tell your wife to use it for you."

Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "Auntie, no need. I just want to know what to buy for Kangkang, Meimei."

Aunt Jiang said: "What can you do on the market? You have to ask for tickets if you have anything. You should save it yourself. Don't burn it if you have some money. You don't know what to do. Don't spend money indiscriminately!"

Yao Yuan knew that Aunt Jiang could not ask anything. It costs 19.50 cents in total, and I guess I couldn't buy much. Yao Yuan simply took the time to take a bus to the city. There were many shops in the city, so maybe he could buy rare things.

The city of this era was completely different from that of Yao Yuan. There were two or three streets in total, and further out there were rural farmlands.

There are only two large stores, the First Department Store and the Second Department Store. One is in the city center and the other is in the train station north of the city.

He simply went to the First Department Store, which was the busiest place.

He had never bought anything in this era. When he entered the store, he was not only surprised. It turned out that the things in this era were not about how many dollars, but about how many cents.

Eggs, 50 cents per pound! Candy, 50 cents per pound, and crunchy! Flower cloth, the best one is 30 cents per pound!

I'm so sad! He finally knew that the 1950 cents in his hand was worth, and he still thought that he couldn't buy much!

He knew that in this era, he had to bring shopping tickets with him, so he brought all the tickets he had issued since his work.

After spending more than five yuan, Kang Kang and Meimei bought the most popular thick cotton sprue fabric of this era.

As for why this is popular? Of course he doesn't understand. It was told by the salesperson who sells cloth in the department store that of course he had to add cloth tickets.

Then, he spent another three dollars to cut off the fabric of Aunt Jiang’s floral jacket.

Anyway, Aunt Jiang can do it herself, so let her do it herself, and join in Kangkang and Meimei.

There were eleven yuan left, and he didn't know what to buy.

At this time, a sales conference was being held downstairs. He saw a parent buy a pair of white sneakers for a girl of fifteen or sixteen. It was a woman's style, with a white ribbon in the middle. Looking at the entire mall, these shoes were not rustic. So just buy a pair of white Huili sneakers for Meimei.

Bai Huili sneakers cost three or five yuan.

He remembered that Meimei was wearing 36 shoes, and Kang Kang wore 37 shoes. The two sisters had a fight over this because the two 36 soldiers were wearing squeezing their feet. Meimei wanted to wear it, but Kang Kang was reluctant to give it to her.

After buying sneakers, he saw a pair of black leather shoes on the counter with a T-string and half-heeled ones. The shoes contain some modern design concepts, and they look a little out of place with the leather shoes of this era that are placed with them.

He asked about the price, it was 6.5 yuan, and it was from pig skin.

I'm so cheap!

So he asked for these leather shoes again.

With more than one yuan left, he set aside 20 cents for the train ticket, and bought the rest.

When he returned to Aunt Jiang's house with his stuff, Aunt Jiang opened her eyes wide, looked at him, and then looked at the pile of things placed on the kang in the inner room, unable to speak.

"You kid, what's wrong with you? Why are you so disobedient when I asked you to save money? If you send money in the future, you will hand over it to me and don't take it yourself!"

It took Aunt Jiang to say these words for most of the day.

Yao Yuan said twice: "I'll pick up Meimei."

Since beating those four boys, Yao Yuan was afraid that they would continue to bully Jiang Meimei. Every day Jiang Meimei got off school at night, he waited at the school gate.

Meimei and her classmates came out of school, and a large group of people walked together. He didn't say anything, just following them far behind.

Jiang Meimei knew that he was behind, so she was not afraid.

Walking along the way, passing through various villages of mining machinery, everyone kept leaving the brigade and going home.

When they reached the intersection of the village, Jiang Meimei and the girl who walked with her that day were left. The two of them stood at the intersection and waited for Yao Yuan to catch up from behind.

Yao Yuan caught up, and the three of them entered the village together and then went home.

When the two arrived home, Aunt Jiang was sitting on the kang cross-legged, looking at the red square cloth that Yao Yuan bought and worried.

She knows how to make old-fashioned slanted jackets, but she doesn’t know how to make new-style open-style jackets. The piece of fabric that Yao Yuan bought has vertical patterns, so she can only make new-style clothes with open-style clothes. What can I do?

When Jiang Meimei entered the house, she saw the pair of Huili sneakers. Her eyes immediately doubled and she rushed over.

Many classmates at school wear these sneakers, and she begged her mother several times but she just refused to buy them.

She grabbed the sneakers and didn't let go, lay on the kang, looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, did you buy this for me?"

Aunt Jiang was worried, so she said angrily: "You are so beautiful! Mom has no money to buy it for you. It was your stupid brother who bought it for you. You have to be nice to your stupid brother in the future!"

Meimei ran to the outer room with her sneakers in her arms and smiled at Yao Yuan: "Silly Brother, thank you!"

Yao Yuan said: "Wear during the Chinese New Year, it is not allowed now."

Now that he speaks, he can't hear the whisper when he has fewer words, so he tries to express it in simple language.

Meimei said happily: "I can't bear to wear it now."

Then he ran back to the inner room, looked at the red square cloth spread out on the kang, and asked her mother: "Is this the foolish guy bought it?"

Aunt Jiang glanced at her and said unhappily: "How do you know?"

Meimei smiled and said, "You are reluctant to spend money on such good fabrics, which is the most popular one."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the pair of black leather shoes by the kang. He rushed over again, picked it up and looked at the shoe size. He knew it was Jiang Kangkang. He immediately pouted and said angrily to Yao Yuan: "Silly Brother, you are partial! Why do you only buy leather shoes for my sister? I have never worn leather shoes in my life!"

Yao Yuan said: "You student, you can't wear leather shoes."

Aunt Jiang said in the inner room: "Meimei, are you really busy with money? Your sister has worn leather shoes? I haven't worn them either! Your stupid brother has earned money and he can't bear to spend a penny. You two little hoofs are cheaper. Don't you say you are grateful to him, but you still say he is partial? By me, you don't have sneakers!"

Jiang Meimei ignored her mother, sat down beside Yao Yuan, and said with a giggle: "I know, this is all the stupid brother who went to work as a porter. A sweat bead fell on the ground and eight petals of it. I just made fun of you. Are you angry, brother?"

Yao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go, don't smile. Why are you angry with you? Study hard and you will be happy."

Jiang Meimei still smiled: "My mother is so stingy. She never makes new clothes for me during the Chinese New Year. I just wear my sister's fall. She grows up so big, and I'm lucky enough to be a fool. I finally have new clothes and new sneakers."

Aunt Jiang shouted in the room: "Shut up, you're so stupid! I can't make this open-clad jacket, I can't make it. It's all for you to wear it! I'm thinking about what to do, and you'll mess up my mind!"

Jiang Meimei stuck out her tongue and grimaced in the inner room.

Yao Yuan stood up, went into the inner room and said, "Aunt Jiang, I don't know, you won't do it."

Aunt Jiang smiled bitterly at him: "I came from the countryside. I read a few words when the kid-wife rescued the club. If you weren't a soldier, you would still be in the countryside now. I have never learned the clothes worn by people in this city, and I have never seen them before."

Yao Yuan thought for a long time and said, "Aunt Jiang, I saw me... in the room, on the sewing machine, there was... a tailor book, which seemed to have Western style... clothing..."

Aunt Jiang said, "That was left by your mother. She is a talented woman and can do everything. Go and take it over, and I can see if you can understand it?"

Yao Yuan went back to his house.

Aunt Jiang leaned over and saw Jiang Meimei sitting in the outer room with sneakers in her arms, and shouted, "If you don't go to cook, why are you so amazing when you sit there? Can't you see that I'm busy?"

Jiang Meimei went to the kitchen to find something, and went back to the outhouse to cook.

At this time, the stove was lit in the room to keep warm, and cooking was on the stove in the room. Yao Yuan did not have a stove in the room, and most of the time was with Aunt Jiang's side during the day.

But it was almost time to go to bed at night. Aunt Jiang hoeed a charcoal fire from here and put it into Yao Yuan's stove. She heated the kang through the flue in the inner room.
