Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home

Chapter 38 Asking for directions and being questioned by the aunt

In the morning, some people who work far away have already gone to work one after another. There are also uncles and aunts who go to the market to buy vegetables. But because there were no vendors on the roadside, almost no pedestrians stopped to hang out.

The cloth seller should be a supply and marketing cooperative, but Luo Cheng couldn't go there, so he had to ask for directions. When he saw a middle-aged woman with a vegetable basket walking towards him alone, Luo Cheng walked forward.

"Auntie, I want to buy some cloth. Can you tell me where the supply and marketing cooperative is here?"

"You little comrade is so sweet-mouthed. You still call me auntie. At my age, you have to call me auntie. You young man wants to buy some cloth. You are a retired soldier with this kind of clothes?"

"How can you not, you are so young, I think it is appropriate to call you aunt. You guessed it right, it has only been a few days since the army was discharged."

"You are well discharged. You have served in the army. You have just been discharged from the army. Have you found a job?"

"Yes, I just participated and reported yesterday."

"You're a nice young man. You're working now. What kind of job do you have? How old are you this year? You don't even know where to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. You don't live here, right? Where do you live?"

This~~I was just asking for a way, why did I feel like I was being interrogated? And calling you aunt is just polite. In Jiangsu in later generations, as long as you are a woman, you call her aunt, no matter how old you are, even if you are younger than you, you still call her like this. I really don’t know where this method of calling comes from. But in many places, calling an older female aunt is more comfortable than calling aunt.

"This is the 21st of this year. I work in the repair shop over there. Auntie, how do I get to this supply and marketing cooperative?"

Luo Cheng pointed in the direction of the repair shop. After all, he took the initiative to ask for directions. The other party asked a few questions, but he couldn't say anything to her.

He had just retired from the army, he was only 21 years old, and he still worked in the repair shop there. With this height and this appearance, my aunt's heart was moved~~~The conditions are really good, she is the daughter of my relatives and the little girls of some people I know~~.

"You go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth~~~ You have just been discharged from the army and are not married yet. What kind of girl do you like? Do you want Auntie to introduce you to her? I know many pretty girls."

When his aunt asked him about where he wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth, he thought he would tell her the location right away, but the topic changed instantly. Luo Chengdu almost didn't react. What kind of situation was this? He was just asking for directions, so why did he bring up the topic of the person he was talking about? Up.

"Yes, I'm going to buy cloth. Could you please tell me how to get there. I just started working and I haven't found anyone yet."

He didn't tell the other person what he liked, otherwise Luo Cheng would feel like he would have endless talk. To be honest, he wanted to find someone else to ask for directions immediately, but he felt it would be impolite to leave directly.

After asking a few more random questions, the aunt also knew Luo Cheng's name and current general situation, and then told Luo Cheng the location of the supply and marketing cooperative. Not only did she tell him, but she also took him there because the supply and marketing cooperative was on a street near where she wanted to buy groceries.

Along the way, Luo Chengshao was continued to be interrogated by his aunt.

Don't feel weird, some aunts and aunts in this era are like this, and even some uncles are keen to introduce people to others. One is that there is no gossip to talk about. Some older people just like the girls from which family and the young men from that family.

Another thing is that women in this era are more conservative. When talking about a partner, they would be embarrassed to hold hands outside. It is difficult to fall in love freely, because if the other party is not interested in some of the normal pursuits of a man, you will easily be reported as a hooligan.

For example, Luo Cheng fell in love with a girl and ran to tell her that he liked her. When the other person accepts you, it is romantic love. If I'm disgusted with you, if you say such "explicit" words in front of other girls, you are definitely acting like a hooligan.

Therefore, the correct way to meet someone in this era is through introduction, and then the two people meet, talk about their feelings, tell the introducer without minding, and then start getting along.

And if the introduction is successful, the introducer will also get paid by the matchmaker. This also leads to the fact that many older people like to talk about matchmaking these days. I will pay attention to some unmarried men and women of the right age around me.

Of course, ordinary people will not give random introductions. If you introduce a bad one, the matchmaker will be criticized and stabbed in the spine. Anyway, people like Luo Cheng are definitely high-quality stocks in this era.

When he arrived at the farmer's market where he was buying vegetables, Luo Cheng finally got rid of his aunt. Next time he asked for directions, he would never ask an older aunt or aunt again.

The supply and marketing cooperative is indeed not far from the farmer's market, across the street. At this time, the supply and marketing cooperative has not yet opened its doors, and many people are waiting at the door. Daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, and salt, the supply and marketing cooperative can almost meet the needs of most people. There are also a wide variety of objects to sell, and it's almost time to open, so there are a lot of people at the door.

The gate of the supply and marketing cooperative here is a double-door wooden door with one entrance and one exit, a total of four doors. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the staff to arrive. There were quite a lot of them, mainly because they were responsible for many things and had to keep an eye on people. Many things could only be seen but not touched.

Just like the cloth Luo Cheng wanted to buy, there were rolls of cloth, and you could only look at the style and color. If you want to touch it, the staff will bring out a piece of rag to show you, but do not reach out and touch the finished product. This is true for many things. What should I do if it gets dirty or broken?

Of course, there are some things that don't matter. Anyway, regardless of whether it is possible or not, if you want to get started, you should ask the staff first. If you move arbitrarily, you will really be scolded. If a quarrel breaks out, the staff here might actually take action.

Here, Luo Cheng saw what he wanted now - a bicycle. There are always people who will stop and watch something like this out of desire. But the staff here will not let you touch the bicycle. Even if you want to buy it, you have to show him the bicycle ticket, otherwise they will not talk to you.

Luo Cheng simply walked around. The area of ​​this supply and marketing cooperative is pretty good. There may not be many things sold, but there are many varieties. In addition, the high-level space on the wall is basically used, and there are many hangings. thing.

I didn't go directly to the place where the cloth was sold. The check-in function of the system was not used today. The original plan was to try signing in at a place that sells meat to see if environmental issues would affect the items signed in.

But the supply and marketing cooperative is also a good place, with so many varieties. If the rules of system sign-in are really related to the environment, this must be a sign-in holy place.

"System, sign in."

"The sign-in is successful. Congratulations to the host for getting, toffee (260g), cloth shoes (one size fits all), dustpan, a bottle of soy sauce, and a bottle of liquor."

As expected, Luo Cheng was as smart as me. Luo Cheng felt that his guess was correct. This system obtained sign-in items based on the environment. But one thing is, I haven’t signed anything big for several days. The best thing for signing in is probably a flashlight. I don’t know if it’s a stingy system or a matter of luck.
