Chapter 174: Alone in the Morning (Monthly Ticket 1020)
Chapter 174 Morning Alone (Monthly Ticket 1020+)
Huo Yingjie was excited and was going to be alone with He Tiantian.
Huo Yingjie got up and quickly put it away. He couldn't let his family see it. He would wash it himself when he came back during the day.
He got dressed, brushed his teeth and washed his face. He took the messenger bag with various bills and went out.
He Tiantian was also ready. She was dressed warmly. She had a hat knitted with black wool on her head. There was a big ball made of wool on it. It was fluffy and very beautiful.
It was just dark, so Huo Yingjie couldn't see clearly.
"Brother Yingjie, drink some hot water to warm your body." He Tiantian handed over her kettle, which was filled with hot water. Not only could she drink it, but she could also warm her hands.
"Thank you!" Huo Yingjie was indeed a little thirsty. He took it and drank several sips. He felt comfortable all over, from inside to outside!
He Tiantian followed Huo Yingjie with the kettle.
Huo Yingjie was holding a large basket with a sack in it, which he would put things in later.
"What are we going to buy today?" Huo Yingjie asked. In the era of material shortage, the New Year was like a war every year. Sometimes, even if you had money and tickets, you could not buy anything even if you lined up at the back.
He Tiantian thought for a while and said, "It's not that we can buy whatever we want, but we can buy whatever the supply and marketing cooperative has! Anyway, I brought all the tickets from home and a lot of money. I bought whatever I saw and as much as I could. Otherwise, these tickets would be scrapped if they were not used. The New Year is coming soon, and there are many things to use. If you buy them home, you can always use them."
Seeing that He Tiantian was talking so well, Huo Yingjie was very happy. He touched He Tiantian's round head with his other hand, and accidentally touched the big ball of wool on He Tiantian's woolen hat. He couldn't help laughing and pinched it twice.
It was dark now, and even if there were people, they were in a hurry and no one paid attention to them.
Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian's hand, wrapped her small hand in his big hand, and walked forward together.
He Tiantian was satisfied. The feeling of Huo Yingjie holding her hand made her relive the precious heartbeat and happiness again.
The two walked forward on the road at a moderate pace. Even if there were some potholes on the road, they could always avoid them safely or jump over them directly under the attention of the two.
After a while, they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative near their home. There was already a long queue outside the door.
He Tiantian took out the food coupons and said, "Brother Yingjie, this is my family's food coupons and money. Go buy food. If you can buy more, buy more. I'll go to the vegetable area over there and get more cabbage, radishes, potatoes, etc."
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the queue over there, and you'll be here. If the things are heavy later, call me to take them."
"Yes." He Tiantian responded crisply and queued over there with the things.
The two were several meters apart, but their eyes often met unexpectedly.
Huo Yingjie's eyes were always so warm and focused.
He Tiantian felt happy but also shy. She turned away her eyes quickly and her heartbeat accelerated.
Before, He Tiantian was worried that when she saw Huo Yingjie again, she would not be able to get along with him easily because of decades of experience in her previous life. But when they really met and hugged, her heart beat fast and told her that it was okay.
No matter how many years had passed, because of love, her heart would always beat faster for this man.
Not long after they lined up, more people lined up behind them, waiting for the supply and marketing cooperative to open.
At six o'clock in the morning, the supply and marketing cooperative opened on time.
There was a commotion among the people queuing at the door. The salesperson inside, holding a paper tube folded into a trumpet shape, shouted: "Queue up, queue up, whoever doesn't queue up, don't buy it."
Although everyone was very anxious, they also lined up honestly in order to buy things as soon as possible. If you don't line up honestly, you will make trouble, right? In less than two minutes, the police from the police station not far away will come out to arrest people.
With order, the salesmen are faster.
For example, each person can only buy 10 kilograms of rice per day. If you buy more, you won’t be given money or tickets. The same is true for other things. At most, one person can buy three staple foods a day.
Huo Yingjie bought 10 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of flour, and 10 kilograms of corn flour today.
He Tiantian bought 20 kilograms of cabbage, 10 kilograms of radishes, and 10 kilograms of potatoes, all in a sack and carried them over.
Huo Yingjie saw that He Tiantian was a small person carrying a large sack, so he hurried forward to greet her and said, "I asked you to call me, why didn't you call me?"
"It's not heavy, I can carry it." He Tiantian smiled, "It's already dawn, let's go back and come back tomorrow."
How could Huo Yingjie let He Tiantian carry it! Seeing that the sack was not full, he put another 10 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of flour in it, and let He Tiantian carry 10 kilograms of corn flour.
"Actually, you can take more." He Tiantian said. She was very strong, and the weight was not heavy in her hands at all. It's just... it's just that she can't explain to Huo Yingjie why she is so strong!
"I'm here, how can you get tired!" Huo Yingjie said with a smile, "Just hold the basket, let's go home."
Huo Yingjie carried the big sack, and He Tiantian carried the basket.
Huo Yingjie turned his head and saw a fair little face with a cute furry hat. Maybe because of the big movement just now, her small, round earlobes were exposed.
Dayushu Lane is three miles away from the supply and marketing cooperative. Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian walked home with their things on their backs. Huo Yingjie was going to go back today, and he would get a small cart, which would be more comfortable than carrying it on his back.
"Hey? He Tiantian?" At the corner, a woman called He Tiantian.
He Tiantian turned around and saw that it was Liu Lingli.
Liu Lingli seemed to have not seen her a few days ago, so why did she take the initiative to greet her today?
What did this person who would not do anything without profit see her like?
He Tiantian smiled and said, "It's Sister Lingli, you're back too!"
"Yes, I've been buying tickets for several days, so I'm a little late. When I went to find you, the people in Qijia Village said you'd already gone home." Liu Lingli replied, "You see, we're from the same place, how about we go back together when we go back?"
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later, maybe I have other things to do!"
Liu Lingli was not angry at all, but more enthusiastic, smiling, and said, "Okay, whatever you want. I have nothing to do at home, I'll go to play with you!"
"Actually, I'm quite busy, I have to paste paper boxes every day to supplement the family income. It's just right that you come to play with me, help me do it, so I don't have to be so tired." He Tiantian acted happy, "Sister Lingli, you must come!"
When Liu Lingli heard this, her face froze. What happened to He Tiantian's family, and they fell to this point, just like their family, pasting paper boxes to make money.

I strongly recommend Beizi's new book "Husband, Let's Eat". My future husband is a handsome naughty boy. Since I have met him, I will try my best to train him and flatten him~
