Back at her residence, Xu Wenli saw a small pot of grains, a dozen sweet potatoes, a few children's clothes, and a pair of women's shoes on the kang.

"Is Jianjun's daughter-in-law there?"

It was Shi Guihua, the daughter-in-law of the captain, who was holding a quilt in her arms and carrying a kerosene lamp.

Xu Wenli asked her what was going on on the kang.

Shi Guihua didn't know who sent those things when she first came: "I'll take it for you, it's all from the neighbors, whoever has difficulties should also help, and when you have the ability to help others." ”

Xu Wenli nodded, the icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, she will not forget this kindness.

In the afternoon, a few more women brought bowls, chopsticks and firewood, and the women's director Tan Hongying asked Xu Wenli if she wanted to learn how to weave mats.

There are still more than three months between now and the Chinese New Year, how can you earn ten yuan and eight yuan to supplement your family if you are diligent.

"Okay, I'll go learn to weave kang mats after I move!"

The noisy day finally passed, and at night, Xu Wenli washed the two children's hands and feet, plugged in the door, took out a new set of bedding from the space and spread it on the kang, and asked the brothers and sisters to go to sleep quickly.

"Mom, Qiaoqiao is obedient today, don't beat me." Mu Qiaoqiao curled up in a ball and squatted in the corner.

Mu Zhuangzhuang blocked his sister behind him, and glared at Xu Wenli indifferently and detachedly: "Break the two of us, see how you explain to my father!" ”

He'll get revenge when he grows up!

Xu Wenli put the new quilt on the two children: "My mother was bad before, I apologize to you both, from now on, my mother will protect you both if she gives up her life." ”

The two small groups couldn't believe it, Xu Wenli used to say that what she said the most was how difficult and aggrieved she was, and said that if she hadn't been dragged down by them, maybe she would have followed her to the army to live a good life.......

I apologized to them today, and the two children felt like they were dreaming.

In the dream, they also have someone to coax, someone to love, and someone to cherish their father and mother.

The brother and sister didn't ask for a new quilt, but covered an old quilt together.

When he got up early, Mu Zhuangzhuang found that the two of them were pillowing Xu Wenli's arm on one side, and their bodies were covered with a scented new quilt.

"Let's sleep together to get warmer, right, you lie down for a while, I'll cook." Xu Wenli got dressed and went to the ground.

While the brother and sister were not paying attention, they kissed them the cheek twice.

"Don't kiss me!" Mu Zhuangzhuang wiped his face repeatedly with his little hands, with a shy and annoyed expression.

"Mom kissed me......." Mu Qiaoqiao couldn't believe it was true.

Xu Wenli boiled some porridge with miscellaneous grains, and the mother boiled eggs one by one.

The first time I saw what an egg looked like, the brother and sister ate this meal for half an hour.

After eating, Xu Wenli also took the time to help the brigade headquarters clean up, Qi Lianfu nodded with satisfaction when he came in, Jianjun's daughter-in-law is much stronger than Wang Zhaodi.

The team leader Yu Haitao wanted to drive an ox cart to the town to deliver the kang mat made by the women in the village, and Xu Wenli also wanted to follow, and the family needed to buy some things.

Pots and pans, children's clothes and shoes, and food, you can't just count on others to help!

Probably because Xu Wenli's eyes were too hot, Qi Lianfu coughed lightly and asked, "Jianjun's daughter-in-law also wants to go to the town?" ”

"Yesterday we had two meals in the pot, and I wanted to buy some more dishes and chopsticks, and it would be better to buy a few more pairs of shoes."

Clay bowls and chopsticks can be bought without a ticket, and things like foreign fire and salt are only available in limited quantities, so it is not difficult for ordinary people to buy them.

Cloth, grain, oil, and sugar can only be bought with a ticket.

"Okay, you go along, the child is in the team headquarters, and a few of us will help you take it for a morning, if they don't do it, there will be your aunt!"

"Strong and skillful are very obedient and won't make a fuss."

Xu Wenli ran back to her residence, and the brother and sister whispered on the kang to exchange their experiences of eating eggs, and shut up when they saw her come in.

"Mom followed the ox cart of the brigade to the town to buy something, you two stay at home obediently, I will come back to buy you toffee and buy trough cakes to eat!"

Mu Zhuangzhuang grabbed Xu Wenli, who was about to turn around: "Divide half of your money with me!" ”

"What do you want money for?"

Xiao Tuanzi pursed his lips and was silent, with undisguised suspicion and distrust in his eyes.

"Oh, I see." This kid is afraid that he will take the money to find Mu Jianjun or run away, I have to say that this son ...... There are enough twists and turns in the stomach.

Xu Wenli grabbed a handful of money and rolled it into a roll and stuffed it into Mu Zhuangzhuang's collar: "Mom will come back at noon, you take care of your sister and money, don't run around!" ”

Her main target in the town this time is the black market, which is explained in the novel, and the black market in the town is behind the family home of an aluminum factory.

Nearby villagers will exchange their eggs, vegetables and mountain goods for various tickets and old clothes.

There are also barterers, and if you're lucky, you can even exchange some sugar and white noodles.

Xu Wenli, who was sitting in an ox cart, secretly moved five catties of sugar, twenty catties of rice noodles and some apples and oranges from the space and put them in the back basket.

Forty minutes later, he finally arrived in Qingnan Town, Yu Haitao went to the kang seat first, and made an appointment with a few women who took a ride to meet at the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives in two hours.

Xu Wenli turned into an alley and took out a coat, a hat, and a scarf from the space to wrap herself tightly.

Inquire all the way to find the family compound of the aluminum factory.

It took two turns around the neighborhood to determine the location of the black market, saying that the black market is actually an alley, and the old man who is expected to be windy outside.

gave him an apple, and he looked at the things Xu Wenli brought before putting the person in.

I found a place with a wide line of sight, and as soon as I put down the back basket, a rich woman came over and accosted: "Sister, do you have any eggs?" ”

"Yes, how much do you want, eldest sister?"

"I want as much as I want, I will inspect the goods first, and if I am optimistic, I will give you seven cents a piece, which is much more expensive than selling it to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"I want cloth stamps, food stamps, no money, and now the supply and marketing cooperatives collect eggs for six cents, and it is too cost-effective for me to take the risk of selling one more cent."

The woman only had some miscellaneous grain stamps and five-foot cloth stamps in her hand, and in the end, Xu Wenli exchanged seventy eggs for those things.

As soon as the food stamps were put away, someone came over to talk, this time it was a man, and the brim of his hat covered half of his face, and only his stubble chin could be seen.

"Sister, I want meat, I want sugar, I can exchange grain and oil stamps, it's fine grain stamps!"

The two bargained in a whisper, and finally Xu Wenli took out ten catties of sugar and exchanged ten catties of grain and oil tickets.

"Big brother, I still have some apples and oranges, and I want to exchange some cloth tickets,"

The man saw the apples and oranges and asked her to wait, and quickly disappeared at the mouth of the alley, and after she left, Xu Wenli exchanged her white face for two old cotton jackets worn by children.

With these two clothes, go home and paint the scoop according to the gourd, how can you make winter clothes for the two children, but the cotton is not easy to buy, if it doesn't work, you can only go back to dismantle the quilt.

"The pickets are coming, run!" The uncle at the mouth of the alley shouted at the top of his voice.

In the alley, whether it is selling things or buying things, they quickly collect things, one by one is faster than a rabbit!
