Chapter 21: White Lies

After coming out of the Jiangyuan Iron and Steel Plant, Song Enli successively sold five pieces of cloth, 50 catties of rice, and 50 catties of flour.

Rare is expensive, rice on the black market is fried to five or six yuan a catty, and she can't buy it at all, she only sells three eight taels of food stamps, and easily gets four hundred and twelve yuan and ten catties of grain stamps, fourteen feet of cloth stamps, as well as some industrial coupons, tobacco and alcohol stamps, etc.

Of course, most people buy one or two catties and one or two catties, and rarely have a large number, after all, a catty of fine grain can be exchanged for several catties of coarse grain, although they are also paid, but they have to manage the family's food and drink, and they dare not be extravagant, at most they just buy it back to replenish the body;

Some people really have no money and no tickets, and they sell half a catty and a few taels, and they exchange one shot for another, because they are afraid of being targeted, Song Enli almost ran most of the county, and when they all got rid of it, the sky was dark.

It's too late to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Song Enli found an inconspicuous bicycle from the space and rode all the way back to Qingshan Village through the hazy night.

Fortunately, Wang Xiuying hadn't come yet, so she quickly put away her bicycle and took out twenty catties of rice, two cans of soybean oil, two cans of sugar, and a black serge cloth packed in a cloth bag in advance.

After doing all this, she sat paralyzed under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and didn't want to move anymore.

In one word, tired!

After a while, Wang Xiuying led Xiao Xiaozhuan under the moonlight.

"Auntie, here." Song Enli waved at her tiredly.

"Why did you come back, girl?" Wang Xiuying could see the mess at her feet from a distance, and she couldn't see it clearly when it was dark, but she could smell the smell of rice sesame oil through the bag.

That joy in my heart!

But now is not the time to break these, so he hurriedly pushed Xiao Xiaoshuo, "Quick, hurry up and ask your father to push a cart of thatch over, if the old lady next door asks, she will say to pick up your fourth aunt." ”

"Huh!" Xiao Xiaoshui was completely confused by his milk, but it didn't prevent him from running fast.

"A passing carriage." Song Enli stood up strongly, his legs trembling with exhaustion.

Wang Xiuying was distressed and kept supporting her.

In just four or five minutes, Xiao Jianye hurriedly ran over with a wheelbarrow, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't ask so much, get these things in the car." Wang Xiuying asked him to unload half of the thatch, load all the things that Song Enli brought back into the car, and cover it with the remaining half of the thatch.

His mother didn't let him ask, Xiao Jianye naturally didn't dare to ask more, and pushed the wheelbarrow home like an old cow without saying a word.

Wang Xiuying refused to park the wheelbarrow in the courtyard, and directly asked Xiao Jianye to push into the main house and squeak the door.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, a cloth bag full of rice, two cans of soybean oil, two cans of sugar and a large black serge cloth shocked everyone in the Xiao family!

"Hongqi, where did you get these old things?" Others don't know, Wang Xiuying knows that when this girl came, the burden was stolen, and there was nothing left, and the only fifty yuan was brought by the fourth child of their family today.

Although fifty yuan is a lot, it may not be possible to buy so many things, several non-staple food stores in the county have cut off supply, and there are not so many tickets, and the precious and fine grains produced in the south such as rice are only limited in supply during the Chinese New Year, and ordinary people cannot eat them at all.

Song Enli thought about his rhetoric early in the morning, and said unhurriedly: "I exchanged it for pearl jewelry, and it was originally said that it was not worth anything on the black market, and I should have been lucky to save a fainting old lady on the road, this old lady's son seems to be a big leader in the city, and he has always wanted to find pearl grinding powder from Nanyang to make medicine with his mother, so he bought them all, and he is also grateful to me for saving his mother, so he gave so many things." ”
