    ?

    It was only on the third day of the Lunar New Year that Zhou Cheng unwrapped what Xia Xiaolan entrusted someone to bring. He asked the messenger to send it out, and it didn't arrive until after the New Year.

    There are two Chunghwa cigarettes in the package.

    There are all kinds of pastries wrapped tightly.

    There are cosmetics bought from the Friendship Store in Beijing.

    There is a small gun made of bullet casings.

    The more expensive one should be the foreign exchange roll that Zhou Cheng stuffed inside.  He said that it was cold in winter, and with foreign exchange certificates and money, he could buy two washing machines, so that the future mother-in-law and aunt would not have to wash clothes in cold weather.

    Oh, the word "future" was added by Xia Xiaolan, Zhou Cheng's original words in the letter were mother-in-law and aunt.

    He was also concerned about whether his uncle Liu Yong's back injury was completely healed, so he stuffed two ginseng sticks in the package to replenish his uncle's body.

    Don't say that you don't care about this package, these things are very expensive in themselves.

    Tobacco and cakes are the cheapest, cosmetics are more expensive, foreign exchange rolls are hard to get, and two ginseng sticks are as thick as Xia Xiaolan's little finger.

    "Xiaolan, do you like to watch TV? When I save foreign exchange certificates, I will send them to you to buy a TV. In fact, you can buy a TV first with the foreign exchange certificates you receive, but I still think washing machines are the best.  The most life-changing invention. Miss you Makoto.¡±

    Xia Xiaolan had a sore toothache.

    It's not that she can't afford home appliances such as TVs and washing machines, but she thinks it's more useful to keep the money in her hand, so she doesn't buy appliances.

    Zhou Cheng is right, it doesn't matter if you watch the TV or not, but the washing machine is what both her and her uncle's family need.

    She is not as careful as Zhou Cheng. Both Liu Fen and Li Fengmei are the "laundry force" of the two families. The clothes in winter are very heavy, and the cotton jacket cannot be directly put into the water. They both remove the cloth face and wash the outer layer.  But the jeans cannot be removed, and the hard denim needs to be washed by hand Not only in winter, it is very troublesome to do laundry at any time!

    Xia Xiaolan took out everything, cosmetics are for women, cakes are for everyone, Zhonghua Tobacco must be for Liu Yong, and the two ginseng sticks are also for Liu Yong.  Except for Xia Xiaolan, only Liu Yong has heard of such things as foreign exchange certificates.

    ? Although they moved to Shangdu to live in, the mud spots on the trouser legs of a few people were not wiped clean, where did they use any foreign currency rolls.

    Ask Liu Fen and Li Fengmei how to use this thing and where to buy things, they must know nothing!

    But Xia Xiaolan said that she could buy a washing machine, which was an imported one.

    Liu Fen didn't say anything, Li Fengmei's eyes lit up: "Can I buy a TV?"

    Whether washing machine or not, Li Fengmei really doesn't need it so urgently. It's not that she has rubbed clothes with her hands for so many years. She refuses to be able to wash clothes in the country, and becomes delicate when she lives in the city.

    She wanted a TV very much. Xia Xiaolan said that she could buy imported color TVs with foreign exchange certificates, and Li Fengmei was moved.

    People in the village still use color TVs. At first, only Uncle Da¡¯s house had a black and white TV set. Villagers like to run to Chen Wanda¡¯s house when enjoying the cool summer evenings. They all gather around the yard to watch TV.  Snowflakes appeared on the screen, and the people watching TV reluctantly left the yard.

    When watching TV, I always bring my own small bench and sit in the yard. Li Fengmei only watched it twice because of mosquito bites.

    If you have an imported color TV in your home, you don't need to be too big to be satisfied.

    Li Fengmei was thinking about discussing with her niece whether they could use the foreign exchange coupons to exchange for the TV instead of the washing machine. After all, this was a gift from Zhou Cheng. Liu Yong said that the foreign exchange coupons are all exchanged in US dollars, and only foreigners can exchange them.  Xiaolan, Zhou Cheng knew who she and Liu Yong were!

    When Xia Xiaolan took out the two ginseng sticks, Liu Yong and Li Fengmei were stunned.

    "what is this?"

    "Like, like ginseng, no, it's quite similar to the ginseng soaked in the wine jar by Uncle Da."

    Liu Yong was not sure.

    It is even more unlikely that he and Li Fengmei have ever seen ginseng. Southern Henan Province does not produce this thing. It may be found in traditional Chinese medicine shops, and it may not be wild.

    Liu Fen didn't even know.

    Anyway, no one in the Xia family has ever eaten this food. She remembers hearing a story about a "ginseng doll" when she was a child, but that was a story. She would never have seen a real "ginseng".

    Zhou Cheng said that she was here to replenish Liu Yong's body, and Xia Xiaolan probably wasn't artificially planted. Judging from the thickness, there are seven or eight years of growth if not ten years.

    "It's not a ginseng doll, it's wild ginseng. It seems to be about twenty years old Zhou Cheng said to make up for my uncle's body. Auntie, you will stew it with chicken and feed it to my uncle. Cut one-third at a time, one stick  Ginseng can be stewed three times."

    a whole?Stewing is also fine, Xia Xiaolan is afraid that Liu Yong will get a nosebleed after eating it.

    The kind of ginseng in the film and television works has great medicinal effects, it must be the old mountain ginseng of more than ten years.  As for the 500-year-old ginseng, Xia Xiaolan thinks it's too nonsense. After all, this kind of top product will be provided to the real big shots to extend their lives. Ordinary people don't even want to smell the smell of 100-year-old ginseng.

    It's hard to find ones that are 100 years old, but you should be able to buy ones that are 20 or 30 years old, right?

    Xia Xiaolan realized that it is now 1984, and the probability of buying real wild ginseng is at least a hundred times higher than in 2017!  In addition to hoarding the house desperately, it seems that she should stock up some of the precious medicinal materials that will become increasingly difficult to find in the future.

    Xia Xiaolan kept this in mind.

    Liu Yong touched the two ginseng roots, thinking about discussing with Li Fengmei whether he could stew one and leave the other for him to soak in wine.

    Xia Xiaolan divided up the cosmetics again. These are not the high-end products she bought casually, but imported cosmetics that can only be bought in places like the Friendship Store.  Neither Li Fengmei nor Liu Fen wanted it, so Xia Xiaolan had to keep it first.

    The adults all had presents. Liu Zitao's mouth was stuffed with pastries, and he didn't know if he stuffed too much or was angry, his cheeks were bulging.

    But when Xia Xiaolan handed him the small pistol made of bullet casings, Liu Zitao swallowed the pastry in his mouth, almost choking on himself.  Li Fengmei quickly gave him a bowl of water, Liu Zitao's face turned red from choking, and he gasped for breath:

    "Is this a gun for me?"

    After receiving Xia Xiaolan's affirmative reply, Liu Zitao squeezed the pistol with bullet casings tightly, and jumped up and down:

    "Thank you my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law is so kind!"

    People nowadays worship soldiers so much. Liu Zitao¡¯s bullet-cased pistol, not to mention sweeping invincible in the countryside, took it to his elementary school class in Shangdu, showed it off twice, and it would shock kids of the same age to kneel down and scream  Brother Tao.  Anyway, as long as you can touch and play with a small bullet-cased pistol, there might be a silly kid who would like to call him Dad.

    With this gun, for Liu Zitao at this moment, it is more effective than giving him many red envelopes.

    The little boy still can't fully realize the charm of great unity, but he likes this bullet-cased pistol, something that he won't give back to others no matter how much money he gives, brother Chen Qing, he has only one brother-in-law, brother-in-law Zhou Cheng!

    Everyone is happy.

    Xia Xiaolan saw that everyone was happy, how could she not be happy?

    Zhou Cheng is really good at giving gifts, everything is so thoughtful, even if he didn't save Liu Yong, if he comes here a few more times, which one of Xia Xiaolan's family members can't be captured by him?
