Buy canned peaches for my sister. Tell me.

I am about eight or nine years old, and my brother is about five or six years old.

One early spring, it suddenly became popular for menstruation to send peaches to his nephew. It is said that it is because a fairy wants to choose a boy as a servant in the world, and when she is chosen, she will leave the world and go to heaven to practice. Therefore, if there is a boy at home and she doesn't want the child to leave, she has to buy peaches for the child.

Peach, peach, means "escape", escape.

At that time, it was not as rich as it is now. Where can I sell peaches in March and April?

Without peaches, canned peaches from supply and marketing cooperatives have become the best-selling substitutes. In those days, canned food was a good thing. Although there are only oranges, hawthorn, peaches and pears, the prices are not cheap. I remember that I went to soy sauce at that time, and fifty cents could almost make a beer bottle mixed with water. Vinegar seems a little expensive. Even with water, fifty cents can only make half a bottle.

Therefore, a two-yuan canned fruit can only be used on birthdays and Chinese New Year, or when you have a serious illness and have a bad appetite, your mother will say, "Shall I buy you a canned fruit?" After all, canned fruit was an advanced tonic when I was a child, and not everyone could eat it all the time.

There are four aunts in my family, dear. Except my second aunt has three children, the other three aunts have two children in each family, so life is also relatively tight. I seldom walk with my family at ordinary times, and occasionally I see them at my grandparents' house, and I can't touch a piece of candy.

But poverty is neither a reason nor an excuse for difficulties. Living in the countryside, other people's aunts send cans. Can you not give it to your nephew? Of course not, unless you don't go back to your mother's house, you will wait to sit on the street and chew your tongue every day!

Really, at this time, if you have a nephew and don't buy him canned peaches to avoid this robbery, then you don't deserve to be an aunt at all. There is something wrong with your life, you are not human!

Three aunts and six grandmothers have such a powerful mouth. If there is no nephew at home, the aunt who bought canned peaches for her niece will be praised to the sky. Gee, gee, you see this aunt takes it for granted. Did you hear that her mother-in-law's family is in good condition, with a car and a factory? Then all kinds of gossip are randomly displayed. After all, in rural areas, basic families have no secrets.

However, aunts can't send things in broad daylight, and they can't blatantly rob people with the gods. So they must be armed to the teeth in the dead of night, quietly touch the village and shout no, even when they get to the door. Knock softly. When asked who must keep their voices down, they will answer: it's me. However, during that time, everyone tacitly did not visit, but left the opportunity to the child's aunt.

That year, my brother was so happy that he didn't want it. He has eight canned peaches and thinks he owns the whole world. Every time I encourage him to open cans, I try my best to make him happy.

Later, my mother took half the canned food and went to see my nephew. This is all my brother's fault. At first, my mother said to keep it for him. Yes, just like your mother asked you to keep the lucky money for you, my brother didn't give up. After howling all day, my mother agreed to let him keep it. I didn't know this forgetful guy was hiding in Tibet, and later he forgot where he was hiding. When he remembered it, he found it. I was so angry that I ignored him for several days.

Now that I think about it, this popular trend of sending canned goods to nephews may be the earliest in commercial speculation. It's also hype, but it's not annoying. After all, through these small cans, family relationships that have been neglected because of economic distress have been brought closer. Although some people said some superstitious things later, I prefer to regard it as a white lie.

The flow of air forms the wind, and the flow of relatives strengthens family ties.

Did your aunt give you canned peaches in those years?
