A Flower of 80s' Supply and Marketing Cooperatives (MTL)

Chapter 33-34

Chapter 33 - Mid-Autumn Festival

　　In the fair market before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were a lot of people going to the fair. The supply and marketing cooperatives bought more moon cakes than in previous years, but they sold better than in previous years.

　　In addition to the five-core ones, some moon cakes with egg yolk were also included. Some are wrapped in simple greased paper, and some are wrapped in paper boxes, which look more high-end.

　　In order to disperse the pressure on Liu Fuxing's counter, the supply and marketing cooperative also placed mooncakes on other counters and asked everyone to help sell them together.

　　Shen Bailu saw the aunt and the second aunt in the crowd buying moon cakes. Since the second aunt failed to borrow money, some of them had come to buy soap in the middle. Shen Bailu still enthusiastically called her second aunt. Seeing each other again, there was no embarrassment.

　　The two aunts each bought some moon cakes, and some other things, and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

　　According to their habits, they would return to their parents' home early in the morning during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and hurried back to their home after breakfast. But my sister-in-law married far away, she would return to her natal house one day in advance, and then back to her own house in the afternoon.

　　On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, because relatives who walked through the fair would enter the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, so Shen Bailu and others had to work half a day.

　　As she thought happily, when it was so easy not to deal with the aunts, the auntie Fang came over.

　　"Auntie!" Shen Bailu called out.

　　Aunt Fang smiled and said, "I'm going to your house to celebrate the festival later. I'll come over and say hello to you first. If you have time, go and sit down."

　　According to local customs, during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, married daughters have to go back to their natal family for the festival, and the man who has booked a marriage should also go to the woman's house to celebrate the festival. Fang Lei couldn't come back in the army, and he had no parents, so the uncle's family had to do it on his behalf.

　　Shen Bailu responded in a hurry.

　　Since then, I have been busy until the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After having lunch, I took the moon cakes and fruit benefits distributed by the supply and marketing agency, and bought some things back home.

　　At that time, Grandpa Shen hadn't gone out to herd cows, so he took a cigarette and said, "Auntie Fang came to celebrate the festival the day before yesterday, you know."

　　"Yes, she went to the supply and marketing agency and told me."

　　"They can still do it at home, know the etiquette, and go back after eating a meal at home."

　　Shen Bailu: "Well--" I took a tube of four mooncakes, some green oranges and pomegranates to my uncle's house.

　　Only Xiao Yan and a few younger siblings were playing at the uncle's house.

　　"Xiaoyan, where's your mother? Going back to your grandmother's house?"

　　"Yes, I might be back soon."

　　Shen Bailu ordered: "You can wait until your mother comes back to share these things, or your mother will curse, go and put them away."

　　Xiao Yan nodded her head and carried things into the room.
