Chapter 27: The 70s of the Female General (27)
Qing Soul pretended to be surprised, then smiled shyly, and snorted: "How can there be extra meat at home, that's all, the village has divided it and kept it for the New Year, my mother has nothing to cook for us to eat, let me send it to my brother." ”
The girl sighed, yes, no one has a lot of life now.
Qing Soul saw that the decadence on this girl's face did not seem to be fake, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "When I entered the city in the morning, I caught a hare in the forest on the side of the road, and the rabbit that came out to find food on a snowy day is not fat, but it also weighs three or four pounds, if you want, a piece of five cents, but I don't want money, do you exchange the equivalent ticket with me?" ”
Now the pork is 7 cents and 2 pounds, and you have to ask for a ticket. These three or four catties of rabbits were skinned, and the internal organs and blood were removed, which was more than two catties, and this piece of five cents was cheap, but it was really not much cheaper.
When the girl heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she pursed her lips and smiled across the workbench: "What ticket do you want?" ”
Qing Soul thought for a while, a ticket of more than a dollar equivalent to a dollar can't be exchanged for anything, she exchanged three hundred catties for food stamps today, plus some saved before, there is no shortage, but if people give food stamps, she will accept them. Meat tickets, people are short of meat, and they definitely won't take it out for exchange, so he said, "Look at it." Sugar tickets and cloth tickets, anything goes. ”
The girl said, "What about your rabbit?" If you're not in a hurry, I'll go home and get the ticket, I just sent the New Year's ticket, I'll give you two catties of sugar tickets, two catties of dim sum tickets? ”
In fact, if you want to talk about the value, people give a lot, and the dim sum is expensive this year, but isn't it hard to find meat at the end of the year?
People are generous, and Qing Soul is not stingy, thinking that the value of the things given on these two sides is about the same, and nodding happily: "Cheng." You wait for me outside at half past two in the afternoon, and I'll bring it to you. ”
Out of the post office, Qingsoul went straight to the county supply and marketing cooperative.
If you want to go to see your uncle and cousins, you have to start preparing things slowly now. She now has money and tickets in her hands, and she doesn't have to save them, as long as the supply and marketing cooperatives have them, she just buys them.
She has been planting cotton in the space for several years, although she has used some of it, but she can collect a lot of it, and then buy cloth, and then take the sewing machine home in the afternoon, so that her mother and third aunt can help make cotton jackets, cotton pants, cotton shoes and so on for her uncle and cousins. As for the size, don't worry about this, his uncle's size, just ask the second cousin's grandmother, their family is tall, and the cousins will do it according to the size of 1.75 and 1.8 meters, fat and thin don't have to be considered at all, just under the current conditions, can you raise a fat person?
The size of the shoes is also simple, to make it bigger, the big deal is to put a cotton cushion on the inside to wear it, what to pay attention to this year.
She has cotton, so just buy some cloth.
When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, this point was not a weekend, although there were more people than usual because of the New Year, but it was not crowded.
I went to the candy cabinet first, and Qing Soul picked the beautiful cellophane wrapped in the best fruit candy and bought ten catties first, what made her happy, there was even a white rabbit toffee, the favorite white rabbit toffee of her little uncle and two little babies, bought, bought another six catties, and then bought five catties of white sugar and five catties of brown sugar, and the sugar tickets that were exchanged in the morning plus the sugar tickets saved before, this was almost used up.
The Green Soul continued to move to the counter selling cloth.
Coupled with the cloth ticket she exchanged for today, she had about forty feet of cloth in her hand, and she picked four feet of corduroy with red background and white flowers, which was for her mother, maid and sister-in-law. The others bought indigo, gray, army green, black, and a few feet of fine white cotton, paid for the tickets, added the tickets, and used up the tickets again, and the people on the side twitched their eyelids, this little girl didn't come to lose, right? How can anyone buy something like this?
Who knew that after the green soul bought the cloth, she saw that there were bed sheets and quilts for sale, she bought four bed sheets, four quilts, two of which were sheets and quilts, and she also specially picked the festive colors of the dragon and phoenix patterns on the big red silk bottom, which was used by her mother when she got married.
After collecting the sheets and quilts, I saw that there were woolen yarn sellers, so I ran to buy five catties of black wool and one catty of red wool.
Qing Soul thought that the third aunt would knit a sweater, and when the time came, she would be asked to work overtime and knit a sweater for her uncle, and the wool would be very warm at first glance. The rest knitted one for each of the two little babies and her mother, and Uncle Hua, there was nothing to give to others, and it should be an excellent gift to weave a woolen sweater for him. When I turned around, I asked her mother to learn to knit sweaters with her third aunt. Three adult sweaters, plus two little babies, there should be a lot of threads left, and if I trouble the third aunt once, the rest will be given to her, which is enough for her to knit a sweater.
The salesman saw that she took the money and the ticket as if it was not her own, and the back basket was almost full, and she was already numb, and she said in her heart, this little girl can't see through it, the bottom of her hand is really bright.
Qing Soul didn't care what others thought, and no one knew her anyway, so she stuffed her things into her big basket and continued to look for things to buy.
I went to the dim sum cabinet again and bought six catties of cloud cakes, six catties of oil fruits, four catties of peach cakes, and two catties of tea dumplings, all of which were to be used in the New Year.
Their customs here, these snacks are a must-have thing for the New Year, but in this world, no one can buy so much for the New Year.
But she is not short of money or tickets. After buying these ten catties, the dim sum ticket in my hand will be nothing, anyway, it will be spent. When she goes back, she will go to the market to resell some things, and then she will be able to exchange them for a batch of tickets.
When he saw the milk powder and malt milk essence, Qing Soul was really happy, and felt that this trip was worth it, but he felt a pity that he didn't have many tickets in his hand, so he could only buy four bags of milk powder and two cans of malt milk essence when he took them out. This has to be kept for the uncle, and no one will give it. She has to let her uncle live a long time and live out her father's share.
Thinking of her father, the green soul was a little uncomfortable, and every festival she thought of her relatives, her father didn't wait for her to be filial, and the young one went. Damn 007, if she had come out earlier, she would have known her father's ending earlier, would she have been able to avoid her father's unexpected death?
Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. It's a blessing to know the fate of my younger siblings and other family members, so I can prevent it in advance. One cannot be too greedy.
I bought milk powder and malt milk essence, and Qing Soul carefully put it away. After thinking about it, I went to the stationery cabinet, bought ten notebooks, twenty pencils, and four erasers, all of which did not need tickets, and simply bought a fountain pen and two bottles of ink. These notebook pencils are enough for my sister-in-law and two babies to use for a while.
As for the red paper used to write couplets for the New Year, there are also hanging waves on the lintel, which can be bought in the town in a few days.
I made a crazy purchase, looked at the things I needed, and almost bought what I could buy, so I went out of the supply and marketing cooperative, raised my wrist and looked at my watch, and it was ten o'clock, and I was able to go to my aunt's house.
