Chapter 40: Grandpa knows that Li Jinfeng has been to the black market
"Jin Feng girl, what did you say about your injury?" Li Aiguo asked.
Li Jinfeng shook his head, "Grandpa, I didn't find the county hospital, but I bought this." ”
shook the cloth bag in her hand, which contained the corn she exchanged for two eggs, and then a pound of beans and half a pound of peanuts that she took out of the space.
"What's this?" Li Aiguo asked curiously, and when the bag was opened, Li Aiguo was stunned.
"Golden phoenix girl, this ...... This ......"
Looking at the corn, beans and peanuts in the cloth bag, Li Aiguo was speechless in surprise.
Although he was growing crops in the countryside, he had not seen beans and peanuts for years.
The fields of the production team, except for three points of land left for each family, the rest are all owned by the production team, that is, they belong to the collective.
The fields and fields of the production team can only be used to grow rice, wheat, cotton, rapeseed and sweet potatoes, which are indispensable crops for life.
In the few parts of the land reserved for self-cultivation, there are fewer vegetables to eat all year round, where will there be luxury to grow beans and peanuts.
"Jinfeng girl, tell me, where did you buy this thing?" The expression on Li Aiguo's face was a little dignified.
"A small alley, someone asked me if I wanted to, I remembered that the life at home was not good, and it was hard work to grab the harvest, and I thought that I could eat enough at home, so I ......"
Li Jinfeng didn't say it too bluntly. Because she also wanted to see Li Aiguo's attitude towards her buying and selling things on the black market.
"Golden Phoenix girl, that's the black market! You...... Don't go back, if you catch it, your life will be gone. ”
Li Aiguo was very distressed, this girl went to the black market to trade alone, if she was caught, what could she do?
"But grandpa, we can't even eat enough, do we care about that?"
The Li family's rice tank, Li Jinfeng saw it in the morning.
Even if you boil a few grains of rice, it will last for three or four days at most.
Can you drink enough water, can you have the strength to work?
If you can't do the work, you won't be able to save work, and you will still have to go hungry for the second half of the year.
Li Jinfeng's words made Li Aiguo speechless again.
Yes, the days are like this now, although the captain says every day that he should tighten his belt and devote all his strength to work, and when the food is fed, he will distribute the food to everyone in the production team so that everyone can eat a full meal.
But Li Aiguo knew in his heart that the grain that came up had to be handed over to the state first, and there was not much that really came into the hands of individuals.
Take agricultural and sideline products as an example, cotton is divided into one pound per person every year, oil is one pound and a half per person for one and a half pounds of cotton oil, and as for rapeseed oil, you can't see it at all, because all of it is handed in.
"Jinfeng girl, you're right, you can't eat enough, you still care about what you're doing here!"
Li Aiguo was persuaded by Li Jinfeng that instead of being starved to death, it was better to go to the black market, even if it was just to get a handful of food back, he would be able to last one more day.
"Jinfeng girl, you don't have food stamps, how did you buy these things?" Li Aiguo asked.
"Food stamps?" Li Jinfeng pretended to be puzzled.
"Yes, food stamps, you need food stamps to buy grain, you need cloth stamps to buy cloth, and even sugar, you need sugar stamps. If you don't have food stamps, you can't buy food, and the same goes for other things, if you don't have enough money, you need tickets. Li Aiguo patiently explained.
"That person didn't ask me, he was going to leave a dollar in my hand, saying that he wanted to pay off some debts or something." Li Jinfeng explained.
