The snow falls early in the Tohoku, especially in the mountains, and the snow is already falling in November.

On this day, Liu Xiaoying had just soured the sauerkraut, and someone came outside.

"Is Yingzi at home?"

Liu Xiaoying went out and saw Zhang Shugen's daughter-in-law standing outside. "Auntie, I'm at home, why do you have time to come to me today."

"Your letter came from the team, and I won't send it to you." Zhang Shugen's daughter-in-law handed her the letter with a smile.

Liu Xiaoying took it and didn't look closely, "Auntie, let's go into the house, it's quite cold outside." ”

"No, no, I have to pickle pickles when I go home, just at this time, you have to be busy." Zhang Shugen's daughter-in-law sent the things and went back directly, and there were still a lot of things to do at home.

"Auntie walk slowly, come over when you have time." Liu Xiaoying sent the people away and hurried into the house, it was already snowing outside. I also wear a small padded jacket, this is the original old clothes, it seems that I want to make a padded jacket, such a thin clothes can't survive the winter.

Liu Xiaoying sat on the kang with slippers, and the mailing address on the envelope was from the city next door, which should have been sent by He Haowen.

When the letter was opened, it was Comrade Liu Xiaoying who caught his eye.

"It's a really interesting time, everyone is gay." Liu Xiaoying smiled and looked at it.

The content of the letter was very simple, first greetings, and then said that He Haowen returned to the army and left the mission before he had time to write a letter. This is the reason why he replied to the letter for so long, and then said that He Haowen had notified his family when he left, and when he returned home after the New Year, he would discuss marriage.

I also want Liu Xiaoying to remember to reply to him, there are more than a dozen tickets neatly placed in it, and there are ten yuan.

Liu Xiaoying looked at it, there were a few cloth stamps, as well as cotton stamps and food stamps, all of which were things she should need.

"You're pretty careful." Liu Xiaoying nodded, remembering that there was no paper and pen at home, so there was no way to reply to the letter.

"It seems that I will go to the county tomorrow, and I will tear cloth to make cotton jackets." Liu Xiaoying thought of a lot of things that were needed.

The padded jacket does not need to be too thick, and there are thermal underwear in the space. Just make a thin padded jacket, and you also need a pair of shoes and pants.

There is no vegetable at home, and the cabbage used for sauerkraut is also changed from next door. exchanged 100 catties of bud rice noodles for 100 catties of cabbage, 50 catties of radish, and some red peppers. In these years, food is much more precious than vegetables.

The Li family took a lot of advantage of these things, and Mrs. Li didn't want to go, knowing that Liu Xiaoying was making clothes, so she took over the work directly.

Li Xiaoying agreed directly, originally she was still thinking about how to make clothes, but this time she had a helper.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Liu Xiaoying ate a bowl of instant noodles and went out, and it was more than ten miles to go to the county. It took two hours to walk, so I went out at five o'clock. There is a car in her space, but the road is uneven, and it is difficult to explain why she is an orphan girl.

Besides, the oil in the car is limited, there is only one tank that has no spare parts, and the car can only be used on the blade.

Liu Xiaoying tightened the thin padded jacket on her body, wearing thermal underwear inside, and a dark blue scarf on her head, which directly covered half of her face, these things were all in the space.

The scarf is the most inconspicuous color, without any decoration, and it is much more novel than the current scarf.

It was less than eight o'clock when Liu Xiaoying walked to the county, and most of the houses in the county were still square, and the most eye-catching was the small two-story red brick house of the supply and marketing cooperative.

It says Serve the people, Chuncheng County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

There were few people on the street, and the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives was ajar, with a large thick quilt hanging on it, so that people could not see the situation inside.

Liu Xiaoying lifted the thick quilt and walked in, there were only a few people shopping inside, and there were more people buying things than buying things.

Liu Xiaoying looked at the goods placed on the dilapidated wooden shelves, and she really didn't look at it at all, and the things in her space were more than a hundred times better than this.

It's a pity that there is no way to take out the things that are too novel, she looks at them while walking, most of them are daily necessities, and there are only five watches in the watch counter, both male and female styles.

After walking around for a minute, Liu Xiaoying returned to the counter selling cloth.

The young woman at the counter pouted when she saw her dress, but she still said, "I need some comrade." ”

Liu Xiaoying looked at the cloth behind her, and reluctantly pointed to a black cloth, she didn't know what it was, but it looked like it could be made into pants.

"Comrade, I want three feet of black cloth and two feet of blue." Liu Xiaoying felt that it was almost enough, and there was no way if it was not enough, so she had a total of five feet of cloth tickets in her hand.

However, there are a lot of cloths in her space, all of which are old cloths left by her mother, mostly black and dark khaki, and some white cloths.

Liu Xiaoying's eyes were slightly dark, there are eldest brothers and two brothers, presumably they will not be too sad, the brothers are all filial, and the second elder will spend his old age in peace.

"Comrade, a total of four dollars and seven cents, and a five-foot cloth ticket."

The salesman took the money ticket and walked away with a rope clipped to his head.

Liu Xiaoying looked at it with novelty, she had heard her grandparents talk about this era before, and she knew that you need a ticket to buy something, and it is difficult to go out without a ticket.

Liu Xiaoying saw that the receipt had returned, and the salesperson handed her the cut cloth.

I bought some cotton again, spent a dollar, and Liu Xiaoying went out with my things.

Before leaving, Liu Xiaoying looked at the clock of the supply and marketing cooperative, and then took out the mechanical watch from the space and adjusted it before putting it into the space.

It's hard to know the time every day. No one in the village has seen a clock, and she hasn't been to a few, anyway, the Li family doesn't.

Out of the county seat, Liu Xiaoying put things into the space, and then hurried back, and walked quickly to get home at noon.
