Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Rush Sale

After a busy morning, Zhou Xiaoan came out of the bath and found a huddle to eat meat and drink milk.

In the swishing cold wind, she was playing with her cheeks blowing the milk carton while thinking that she had to have her own room, where she could wash her face with milk, and the whitening effect would be more obvious.

And you don't have to squat and eat like such a pitiful refugee, it will affect your temperament for a long time......

Zhou Xiaoan's life plan is about to add another item, you must get a room of your own as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no place to make a mask!

After eating and drinking, she went to the department store again, this time to another one, it was still a daily necessities counter, and she bought a box of clam oil for eight cents. The milky white paste in the shell of the mussel has no fragrance, like a piece of solidified animal fat.

There are skin care products on her face and body, but her hands are too rough, and she has to use this very oily clam oil to work well.

Soak your hands in hot water at night before going to bed, apply a thick layer of clam oil, and wear cotton gloves to soften the calluses a lot the next morning.

Zhou Xiaoan looked at her slender and thin fingers and thin palms, her palms and even her fingers were covered with calluses, and the scars of the old and the new, large and small, were overlapped, and she might never be as delicate and soft as her original hands in this life.

But she will definitely live as seriously as the original Zhou An'an, and use the courage and hard work of both her and Zhou Xiaoan!

Zhou Xiaoan worked hard and went home to face her bleak life positively.

As soon as I walked into the side street near my home, I found that the atmosphere today was particularly exciting.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the grain store and the non-staple food store, and the clerk held a simple megaphone and read aloud the notice posted at the door of the store:

"Great news! Great news! During the Spring Festival, the state specially subsidizes one or two peppercorns per household for residents of our city! Buy with your family register! Everyone dispersed in an uproar, rushed to line up, and shouted to the family to hurry back to get the household registration book.

Over there, another clerk stood on the vegetable bed and shouted, "What's new! Red Star Non-staple Food Store specially supplies a cart of radishes during the Spring Festival, and each household is limited to one! Buy with a non-staple food book! ”

Rushing to line up to buy peppercorns, another part of the stream came to grab the radish!

These are additional supplies without tickets, as long as it is a local account, you can buy it, in addition to the National Day in a year, there will be such an opportunity for the New Year, everyone is fully committed, there are more people and less goods, and you can't grab anything if you are slow! You can't even eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year!

Zhou Xiaoan curiously stood outside the crowd and looked at it twice, and was caught by Aunt Zhao from the neighborhood committee, "Xiao An! Why didn't you go to study politics today? Go back and let your aunt tell you about it! The activities of enemy elements are rampant, and we must not take it lightly! We must keep in mind the teachings of our leaders and never forget the ...... class struggle"

Zhou Xiaoan looked at the red armband on Aunt Zhao's arm, and nodded quickly, "Aunt Zhao, I remember!" I'll definitely study hard when I go back! Go on patrol! I have to go home and call my aunt to buy turnips! ”

Not far from the side street is a joint defense officer of the neighborhood committee wearing a red armband, and it seems that today's political study is very effective.

When Zhou Xiaoan returned home, Wang Lamei was busy working, carrying the household registration book, non-staple food book, and grain book in her pocket, holding money and various non-staple food tickets, carrying net pockets and grain bags, holding sesame oil bottles and pepper cans, and seeing Zhou Xiaoan coming back, she grabbed her and left, and didn't even have time to scold her for not sticking cardboard boxes and running around.

"Hurry up and get in line! Your Aunt Tang has given our family all the fine grains and Spring Festival supplies, don't be left behind! ”

Zhou Xiaoan quickly followed, helped Wang Lamei hold the bottles and cans, and let her count the non-staple food tickets in her hand with her free hands.

Those were not given to their families for free, they were exchanged for one pound of flour and five pounds of dried sweet potatoes, and various non-staple food supply indicators were also bought at a discount. Although it costs more than twice as much as a normal purchase, it is still much cheaper than going to the black market.

The Zhou family has the money and tickets sent by Zhou Yuehai, and now they don't care about this money, it can be seen from Wang Lamei's happiness in spending money in the past few days that Zhou Yuehai must have given less.

Aunt Tang is the mother of Zhou Xiaoquan's buddy Tang Qingjun, there is only one Uncle Tang in the family who is a regular worker in the mine, and the children are not young, and life is particularly difficult, even the flour for dumplings in the New Year is reluctant to buy, so I exchange it for a few catties of dried sweet potatoes to fill my stomach.

There are a lot of situations like the Tang family in the neighborhood this year, and Wang Lamei not only bought their family's supply index, just look at the large number of tickets in her hand.

Walking to the front yard, everyone went to line up to buy it, Zhou Xiaoan inadvertently glanced at it, and was startled by a dull face behind a window.

It's the fool in the front yard.

His dull and yellowed eyes were bloodshot, staring straight at them, and there was a deep scar on his stiff and puffy face, and half of his face was severely deformed by the scar.

Zhou Xiaoan was chilled by his gloomy gaze, and unconsciously shivered.

Wang Lamei touched Zhou Xiao'an's head and ears rudely, and her rough fingers scratched her ears painfully, which was the action of the hometown to comfort the frightened child, "How old are you!" It's still scary! ”

Wang Lamei was as angry as ever, but Zhou Xiaoan smiled, "Auntie, why is the fool locked up?" Sick? ”

The fool usually smirks when he sees people, and only occasionally he is stimulated to lose control of his emotions, and every time at this time, his old lady Wang lame locks him at home, and goes to the countryside to collect tattered for a few days to avoid him, or he will beat people, several times his mother can't hide, and he almost lost his life.

Fortunately, the fool only beat his mother alone when he was sick, and it was not easy for his mother to feed him by collecting rags, or he would not dare to let them live in a large courtyard.

"I heard that I was sick in the middle of the night last night, and I beat the lame man out in the middle of the night! Just you little cowardice! Let's see if you dare to be outside until dark in the future! Wang Lamei poked Zhou Xiaoan's head heavily to teach her a lesson.

Zhou Xiaoan didn't refute either, and followed her into the rush to buy the army, before dark, the mother and daughter came back with unkempt hair and crumpled clothes, sesame oil, Chinese cabbage, white radish, pepper, melon seeds, yellow sauce and green onions, and returned with a full load on their shoulders.

Wang Lamei carried several pockets in one hand, slapped Zhou Xiaoan on the back, and slapped her on the back, "What about the splint on the arm?" When did you unload it? Crippled and pointing at me to feed you! ”

Zhou Xiaoan is helpless, can you say good things?

But she didn't pick Wang Lamei, she was not a good daughter, and immediately began to say that Wang Lamei didn't want to hear it, "Auntie, the piece of Kaji cloth you bought will make me a Lenin suit!" ”

"Nope! How can I make clothes for you? Then the Lenin suit is worn by cadres, what kind of Lenin suit do you wear as a temporary worker who moves stones? Wang Lamei's eyes widened, "You hurry up and go back to Lao Han's house for me!" What are you doing in your parents' house when you're married? Pointing to me to feed you for the rest of your life? ”

Zhou Xiaoan put half a pocket of flour on his shoulder, his chin was raised, and the revolutionary friendship between the mother and daughter who had been squeezed out of the afternoon rush was ruined! Again into a state of confrontation!

Author's note: Xiao An is now seventeen years old, everyone give her time to grow~

She is the same as all such a big post-95 generation, she has smart and strong places, and she also has a bunch of small problems, spread her hands, no way, just such a bear child, everyone has come from such a big age, be lenient with her~

There are still a long days to come, and she will get better and better as she grows. However, the problem of stinky beauty can't be changed, and it will be more serious if someone pampers it in the future, so let's try to ignore it......
