Out of the stilted building, Lai Di didn't look at Yunxi's jacket pocket, where there were three cents and seven cents, and her apricot eyes were shining.

Yunxi was amused by her appearance, took out two cents from his pocket and handed them to her: "This is your two cents, you keep it yourself." ”

"This is mine?" Lai Di Xing's eyes widened, and after Yunxi nodded, she carefully took the two gross tickets, her hands were trembling, but she clenched them tightly, and looked around vigilantly, as if she was holding a gold brick.

Yunxi looked sad, held her hand and comforted: "Don't be nervous, no one will rob you of your money." ”

Lai Di suddenly stuffed the money in her hand into her hand, and whispered: "Sister, you take this money, don't show it to your aunt, otherwise you will definitely be robbed." ”

Yunxi's face turned pale: "Wang Guihua has snatched money from you before?" ”

"No, this is the first time I've touched money. But last year, my aunt next door gave me a piece of oil residue, and she saw it and snatched it. Laidi licked her mouth, "That was the first time I tasted meat, but unfortunately it was snatched away after only one lick." ”

The oil residue is the residue left over from the frying oil of fatty pork, which is not strictly counted as meat, but it has been remembered by Laidi for a year.

Yunxi was so sour in her heart that she took Lai Di's hand and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative: "Come to Di, my sister will take you to buy meat, don't worry that Wang Guihua will come to rob it, if she dares to rob it, I will let Xiaohei go." ”

Xiao Hei is Qin Jianguo's dog, and she has already pulled it into her own dog, after all, it drinks the same white porridge as her, and it is also appropriate to drive away enemies for her.

Lai Di's eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head again: "Meat is very expensive, I don't eat meat, it's good to drink white porridge like this morning." ”

"Don't be afraid, sister can make money, sister will buy you meat to eat today."

Yunxi put down his "arrogant words" and pulled Laidi to the butcher shop of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Maybe it was too late, and there were only a few pieces of meat and a few bones on the butcher's board.

Hearing Yunxi say that he wanted to buy meat, the master who sold meat lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, and stretched out his palm-sized hand: "Meat ticket." ”

Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that in this era, buying meat requires meat tickets.

"No ticket, don't block here if you don't have a ticket." The butcher waved impatiently at her.

Yunxi, who was driven away, was very blocked, but she also tried to fight with others, and pulled Laidi to turn around and leave in frustration, but unexpectedly, a person ran over and stumbled her, and the other party hurriedly pulled her and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry little girl, are you okay?" ”

She was a thirty-year-old man in a blue cloth overalls, Yunxi was not a person who was unforgiving, she rubbed her shoulder that was hurt, shook her head and said, "I'm fine." ”

"It's okay." The man breathed a sigh of relief, and walked past her to the butcher shop master, "Brother Wang, I want the pork bones on the shop, you give me an appointment (yao)." ”

"Okay, these bones are just for you."

The butcher shop master smiled, and threw all the bones into the weighing pan as soon as he pulled the palm, dialed the pendant, and raised the weighing rod high: "Three catties and one tael, enough." ”

"Thank you Brother Wang for taking care of you," the man knew that the other party had given him a bargain, so he neatly took out the money and handed it over, "This is a piece of five cents and five cents, you can take it." ”

Yunxi didn't need to move her feet when she saw the man buying meat, she saw the man hand over the money, but he didn't hand over the meat ticket, she couldn't help but take a step forward: "Uncle, don't you want a meat ticket to buy bones?" ”

The man picked up the pig bones tied with straw rope, turned around and saw that it was the little girl he had just bumped into, and nodded kindly: "Yes, you don't need a ticket to buy pork bones, and it's two cents cheaper than buying meat, but there is no meat on the bones, so it's not cost-effective." ”

Yunxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took out three cents and seven cents from his pocket and handed it to the man: "Uncle, I don't have a ticket, and I can't afford to buy meat, can you even a bone for me?" It's all my money. ”

The man looked at the crumpled coins in her hand and was stunned for a moment, and the butcher shop master behind him said: "Just now, this girl wanted to buy meat, and she didn't have a meat ticket, and she didn't mention buying bones, how do I know she wants it?" Besides, you asked me to leave this bone for you yesterday, and I can't break my promise. ”

There was no way to say that she was untrustworthy, because the money in her hand could only buy one pork bone, and there were four or five pork bones in the butcher shop at that time.

However, Yunxi didn't argue with the master, and only stared at the pig bone in the man's hand.

It's not that she's hungry, it's her shriveled body that is hungry to death!

The man may not be able to resist her eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle just hit you, this bone will be evenly given to you, and I will charge you a dime." ”

As he spoke, he took a dime from her hand and shoved a piece of pork bone into her.

Yunxi's hand sank, estimating that the bones had to be half a catty, according to five cents a catty, that is, two cents and five, she hurriedly pulled out a dime and a half and stuffed it to the man: "Thank you uncle for taking care of me, but I can't take advantage of you." ”

"You little girl, I will pay you less as an apology."

The man shook his head and smiled, and pushed the money back, but Yunxi pulled Laidi and waved at him while stepping back: "You just apologized, don't apologize." Goodbye, uncle. ”

The man looked at the sisters' patched but cleanly washed clothes and pants, couldn't help but shake his head, turned around and said to the butcher shop: "Lao Wang, in the future, when their sisters come to buy meat, you can also take care of it." ”

The butcher shopkeeper smashed his mouth: "Okay, as long as they still come to buy meat, I will take care of it." But he said in his heart, he still has to be so poor that he is afraid that he will not be able to buy meat once a year.

The poor Yunxi was very happy, she was discussing with Lai Di about stewing the pork bones and simmering soybeans to eat, and the soybeans that had absorbed enough soup were fragrant, smooth and noodles, and they were very delicious.

Lai Di couldn't help swallowing saliva just by listening to her description, but she still opened her mouth to remind her: "Sister, there don't seem to be soybeans in Brother Qin's house." ”

"Is there taro then? Pork bone taro is also delicious. ”

"I didn't see it."

"And what do you see?"

Lai Di shook her head, Yunxi only felt an arrow in her heart, and lamented: "No wonder there is only white rice porridge this morning, not even a single vegetable leaf, how will you live in the future?" ”

Lai Di immediately said: "Sister, I can pick wild vegetables, there are wild leeks in the open space by the river dam, sister, you took me to pick them before." ”

Yunxi: "...... We'll pick it when we get home. ”

However, she did not go home immediately, but handed the meat and bones to Laidi to carry, and walked into the health center again.

The doctor at the clinic, a young man with glasses, wearing a white coat, was holding a stethoscope to auscultate an old farmer. ”

"It's sold, thank you for your advice." Yunxi Xing's eyes crooked and thanked him.

The young doctor hummed casually, then took the stethoscope and said to the old man: "There is nothing wrong with your body, you are just old and tired, just go home and rest more." ”
