"Sister, do you really want to go to the city to do a part-time job?"

Liu Xiaxiu stood aside, looking at the eldest sister who was packing up her clothes, her face was complicated.

Liu Xiaobin frowned, looking unhappy, "Sister, it's hard work on the construction site, why are you a girl running away, if you want to go, I'll go." ”

Liu Xiaping looked at her younger brothers and sisters who were standing on the side staring at her speechlessly, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, she still wanted to secretly take away the hidden food, how could she take away the food when these two guys were standing here?

"Okay, don't talk about it, if it weren't for my good relationship with Sister He Xiang, how could I have my share in this short-term job? Sister He Xiang just wants to find someone to accompany her, Xiaobin, you go, maybe there is any gossip in the township. ”

Liu Xiaping packed up her clothes, and after confirming that they were correct, she took a rag book and packed it, and hurriedly went out of the house to ask Lin Cuihua for some food stamps.

Speaking of which, the food stamps in their family have never been used up, and there are many people in the family, so the food stamps are naturally divided, because it is far away from the town, so there is no cost at all on weekdays.

In addition, a bunch of children in the family are in school, and everyone also has food stamps to share, so a lot of them are in the hands of the daughters-in-law in each room, which Mrs. Liu didn't care, after all, Zhao's hometown is too remote, everything can be self-sufficient, and you can't buy anything in the township with food stamps, so for Mrs. Liu, food stamps are really not very useful.

"This is a deposit of two yuan, He Xiangke told me, three cents a day, you can work for half a month, this deposit will be returned in the end, you remember that when you come back, you have to give me a total of six yuan and five." Lin Cuihua took out a bunch of gross stamps and stuffed her with a handful of food stamps, "I heard that you need food stamps for everything you eat in the city, you can also bring these food stamps, and if you can exchange the rest for money, you will exchange them for money, remember to get them back for me when the time comes, don't be greedy." ”

Lin Cuihua was still a little reluctant when she gave two yuan, if she didn't think that the salary of three cents a day was not bad, she really didn't want to give this money, but fortunately, He Xiang also said that paying this deposit is to ensure that the temporary worker will not damage or steal money, and it will be returned after the end of the short-term work, so she is relieved.

After all, these two dollars are the only little savings she has in her hand, and she can't let the old lady see them.

"Mom, don't worry, I know." Liu Xiaping was a little stunned when she heard the salary of three cents that day, it seems that Sister He Xiang is really powerful, originally she wanted to say that she used four cents to impress her father and mother.

At this time, a pound of rice is only a dime and a half, and she is naturally very happy to save a dime.

After counting the food stamps, there were almost more than 300 catties, and it seemed that Lin Cuihua took out all the food stamps, and there was also a catty of meat stamps.

"This catty meat ticket is for you to buy some meat when you come back, our family hasn't eaten pork for a long time, you have to hide it when you buy it, don't let your milk them see it."

Lin Cuihua looked at the meat ticket and said mysteriously, and deliberately lowered her voice, for fear of being heard by the people around her.

Liu Xiaping nodded, of course she is not so stupid, if she is discovered by the people on the milk side, it is estimated that she will not smell any meat at all, if she is in her own home, she can still drink a bowl of broth.

Immediately afterward, she actually found another pound of fuel tickets.

I didn't expect her mother to be really capable, and she was able to hide the oil ticket and meat ticket under the nose of the old lady!

After carefully packing up a bunch of tickets and cents, Liu Xiaping said, "I'll come back and take a look when I send the notice after a while, Mom, if you receive it in advance, you have to collect it for me, otherwise, my money won't be given to you." ”

"yes, you still threaten your mother, get out of here, get the money early when you get early."

Lin Cuihua's face was impatient, and she directly blasted people out, obviously not taking her words seriously.

Liu Xiaping pursed her lips and went out with her luggage.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't agree, she knows the time when the notice arrives anyway, and she will come back a day earlier if it's a big deal, anyway, this time she will never allow her notice to be burned by her father again.

He Xiang waited outside the door early, and when she went out with an unhappy face, she didn't say anything, just patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”

Liu Xiaping nodded, taking advantage of the early weather and the sun had not yet come out, the two of them went out in a hurry.

The two of them going out to do short-term work will definitely not be able to hide it from the villagers after leaving, and Mrs. Liu will naturally not be able to hide it, but Lin Cuihua has already been prepared, and she has agreed with the two of them about the salary of one and a half a dime a day, and she is only ready to give half of the money to the old lady.

After all, Liu Xiaping is just a female baby, she is definitely not as good as a male baby, and the short-term work she does is only the work of a female baby, and the salary of this kind of work is generally not very high, and it would be good to have one or two cents a day.

Lin Cuihua also knew that she would definitely not be able to hide this from the old lady, fortunately, in addition to her daughter's salary this time, she also had the income from selling food stamps, but she heard that this catty of food stamps was sold in the city, and it could be sold for three or four cents, and hundreds of catties of food stamps could be sold for seven or eight yuan!

If you want to go to the city from Zhao's hometown, you must first go to the town, and there are no cars or ox carts on this part of the journey, so you can only walk out on your feet, the mountain road along the way is not easy to walk, rugged and steep, plus it rained some time ago, some places are still wet, very slippery, and it is easy to fall.

Liu Xiaping hadn't walked for such a long time for many years, and it took more than two hours to walk with He Xiang to see the stone piers in the town.

At this time, the sun also came out, but it should not be noon yet.

When they arrived in the town, the two of them first spent money to go to the labor hall and bought two large vegetable bags for two taels of food stamps, and filled their stomachs that kept growling, and then went to the town to find a car.

In the early 80s, there were not many cars, and naturally there were no highways, and it was generally far away, only by train, and this required a letter of introduction.

They didn't have a letter of introduction, so naturally they couldn't take the train, so they had to try their luck to see if there was a tractor, or a liberation car passing by the county to pull fertilizer.

"Generally, the liberation car has to pass by here several times, you can go to the mouth and wait, those brothers and elders generally have to get off here, you can ask, see if there are many people in the car, it should be able to take you to the city."

After asking the enthusiastic aunt, Liu Xiaping and He Xiang walked towards the entrance of the town while eating steamed buns.

Many things in this era, even Liu Xiaping herself has almost forgotten it, and she has never been far away at this age, so she really doesn't know how to go to the city.
