The two came out and rushed to their home, and parted halfway through.

I found a corner and entered the space, rushed a little, and then rode towards my home.

Passing by the mobile stall of a roadside service agency, he pulled his car over.

"Auntie, give me a red bean."

In the summer, you still have to get in touch with the earth and eat a popsicle to cool down.

"Here, five cents."

The eldest lady took out a paper wrapper from the thick quilt, hurriedly covered it, and handed it to him.

Yang Xiaole took out the money and handed it to her and said with a smile: "This price has risen quite a lot!" It used to be two cents. ”

The aunt was also there and said with a smile: "That's not it! I can't help it! It's your luck, you just sent it over, and it was snatched up in a while. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

Now that there is a shortage of materials, not to mention the price increase, we have to sell it leisurely.

Just about to leave, he glanced not far away, and said with a smile: "Auntie, bring me another one." ”

Seeing this, the other party took another one to him.

Collected the money.

"Yang Xiaole? I haven't gone home yet! ”

Guan Yingying came over, looked at him and said hello with a smile.

"Ang, buy a popsicle to cool down, give, this is yours!"

Guan Yingying glanced at the popsicle in his hand, then looked at the stall, and couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the eyes of the aunt next to her, she smiled; "Mom, this is my classmate Yang Xiaole......"

Auntie was surprised when she heard this: "Huh? Yingying! Look at this whole thing, Yingying doesn't eat it, I'll return the money to you. ”

As he spoke, he went to get the money.

directly took a dime to him: "Here, your aunt invited you." Don't want money. ”

Yang Xiaole smiled awkwardly when he saw this scene.

Feelings, this is a family!

Then he looked at the money and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, forget me to invite her, I'll go first!" ”

This kind of cheap thing, usually the first time you meet an acquaintance, you will ask for it, and it is limited to the first time.

You'll have to pay for it later.

But looking at the situation of Guan Yingying's family, it won't be too good, and the money is given, so the reason for not going back is confiscated.

After saying that, I said hello and rode away.

(Strange, why do you wear such thick clothes during the popsicle season?) ）

"Hey, this kid!!"

The aunt watched him leave and shouted, but she didn't say anything when she saw someone riding away.

Turning his head to look at his daughter.

"How's it going? Can you get along with your classmates? You have to study hard! ”

Guan Yingying took her gaze back, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm in military training now, and I won't go to class." ”

"Well, Mom doesn't understand, you can just do it yourself."

"Got it, then I'll go back to cooking first."

"Okay, take the money and return it to your classmates. No matter how much you give him your money! ”

After saying that, he took two five-cents and went out.

This means that if you don't take a dime, you have to charge five cents.

Seeing this, Guan Yingying took the money and said hello before leaving.

…………

After Yang Xiaole rode back home, the eldest sister had already cooked.

Mom and eldest brother have just returned from work.

"Coming back? Hurry up and wash and eat. They all screamed several times with hunger. ”

When his mother saw him come back, she immediately urged him.

Yang Xiaole washed his hands, wiped them, came to the seat and said with a smile: "Don't wait for me, you eat first." ”

"I guess you're almost there."

Then several people ate there.

"Xiaole, Uncle Chen's family gave birth to a son."

Eating, big brother, suddenly said to him.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment, but after calculating the time, it should be about the same.

"Today?"

"No, yesterday."

"Oh, I guess Uncle Chen is happy now."

"No, my mouth is cracked to the back of my head."

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded, it's a good thing, there are no boys in these years, people are pointing fingers behind their backs, let alone no children.

It's just that there is no ration of eggs now, and this red egg can't be eaten.

"Hey, by the way, mother, when I was on work this morning, I saw the Qiaohui grain store on your street?"

My mother was eating, and said indifferently: "Well, it opened a few days ago, and we have five urban districts, one district and one point, saying that it is convenient for foreigners and overseas Chinese to buy food over there, and it is too troublesome to go to the service department to buy it every time." ”

Hearing this, the eldest brother nodded lightly, and muttered there: "These people are treated too well, they ran away during the war before, but now they run back when it is too peaceful, as long as they have money, they can still eat food openly." ”

The old lady muttered when she heard this: "What you said, if you don't treat them better, don't you just run away with a turn of ass!" ”

"I don't think so, I heard what Ruolan said, saying that now we don't let our people stay abroad, otherwise so many people won't come back in the past few years."

Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Yang Xiaole naturally knew that in the past few years, foreign countries have been driving away their people.

Hua Yourong's father had an accident at that time.

There is no news until now, and eighty percent of them are gone.

But at this time, he was pondering a problem in his heart, that is, everyone in the compound was yellow and thin, and their families were full of red light.

Anyone who is a fool can feel that something is wrong.

Before, I could say that the uncle was a cadre, and he helped them, and he could get game if he had nothing to do, and he could be perfunctory.

But now the food ration of the whole system has been reduced so much that few families can afford it.

Even if it's an uncle, it's a normal ration.

Even lower than his.

Thinking of the overseas Chinese remittance grain supply point that the eldest brother said just now, he remembered that there were still a bunch of various food stamps of this kind of overseas Chinese remittance vouchers in his space~~

At that time, when he went to buy jade, he only used overseas Chinese remittance vouchers, not these things.

Even Su Ling didn't basically give it, because every time he gave something to Suo Ye, he asked him to hand over some to Su Ling, so he basically didn't need these things over there.

"Fuck it!"

Suddenly, a curse word came out of Yang Xiaole's mouth.

"What's wrong?"

The old lady Wang Qiuju asked strangely.

The others looked at each other in amazement.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "Oh, it's okay, I'll just say that those people are doing too well." ”

Then he stopped talking.

Because he felt like he was thinking a little wrong.

I don't have the ability to make those people fat, but I have a way to keep these people from getting sick, and they are also full of red light.

It is not a food stamp that comes with an expatriate voucher.

It's well water!

Wouldn't it be nice to put some well water in the hot water bottle from house to house!

As for getting that complicated?

Not to mention anything else, Qu Ying next door didn't give her much food, but her body was not the same!

Some parts have also developed a lot of time.

Even menstrual cramps don't hurt anymore.

In this way, the whole compound is full of red light, won't this problem be solved!

However, this can only solve the health problem, and the uncomfortable stomach still has to be hungry.

It's still the same to look for food.

However, Sun Fu came back from the soy sauce factory to get some soybean dregs, and the swelling of the other compounds began to increase significantly, although not particularly obviously.

But there was no swelling in their compound.

None of the people in the compound knew why.

But he knew it was the protein that played a role.

When everyone heard his explanation, they didn't think much about it, and continued to eat and chat.

Yang Xiaole also learned some of the situation in the compound from his gossipy old lady.

"Shen Congjun's daughter-in-law and Aunt Shen quarreled because of food."

"Uncle Wang's second daughter-in-law came over and said that the children were hungry and thin here, and the angry Aunt Wang wiped her tears there."

"The widow in the backyard beat her second daughter Xiao Jujube because of a nest."

……

In general, most of it is because of eating trouble.

It's like the poor are troubled by money.

In the past, when life was good, there was nothing, but now that life is getting more and more difficult, all kinds of conflicts in the family will be infinitely magnified.

Especially the daughter-in-law of the Shen family who was laid off at home.

Mother-in-law is also at home, the problem is even more obvious, after all, everyone goes to work on weekdays, and the contradiction is not so obvious.

If you're at home all day long, something will go wrong after all.

It reminded him of a statement he had heard before.

That is, money can't solve all problems, but having money can solve most of life's troubles.

It's very similar to what is being said now.

It's just that now it's the other way around.

"Oh, by the way, our director said that the quota of cloth has been determined, and this year's cloth ticket is only two feet five. Take care of your own clothes! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

"Really?"

The eldest sister asked in surprise.

Wang Qiuju was eating and muttering, "Well, yes! Our director said that it has been decided, but the notice has not yet been issued. ”

After Yang Xiaole listened, he pondered there.

Even last time, his uncle Yang Guangchun had already said that he would definitely reduce the quantitative things, but he didn't expect it to be reduced so little.

In the past, each person could make two sets of 26 feet of cloth per year, and there was still a surplus, so I could save some in other seasons and wear new clothes during the New Year.

It is 2.5 feet now, and there is a hair.

Even patching is not enough.

In fact, the old lady said that this year's cloth ticket is actually not this year's, but next year's.

Because the cloth ticket will be issued every year in the solar calendar, the actual time is basically before the Chinese New Year, and everyone is used to thinking that it is the current year.

In other words, the cloth ticket that the old lady said is actually 61 next year, not 60 this year.

When the eldest sister heard this, she didn't care: "It's okay mother, can't the uncle get the flawed cloth!" When the time comes, let's just wear the flawed cloth. ”

These words made the old lady roll her eyes.

But what she said is right, Yang Guangzhi is a textile factory after all, and he is also in charge of logistics.

There is no need to make mistakes, and there are many quotas of defective fabrics according to the unit.

Moreover, the defective cloth is selected better, and the rest is distributed to major stores, and finally to the county supply and marketing cooperatives and commune supply and marketing cooperatives.

In other words, the defective cloth of the commune supply and marketing cooperatives is of the worst quality.

But even if this is the case, it is basically covered internally, and ordinary people do not have a good relationship with the salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and they can't get it.

"That can't be messed up! Your eldest brother got married this year, why do you have to pull two sets of decent clothes, and you have to get a few good sets of clothes for your sister-in-law. ”

The old lady still glared at her.

Seeing this, the eldest sister stuck out her tongue: "Got it." ”

And Xiaoli was there tilting her head to think about the question, and finally muttered: "After that, is it that the sister-in-law wears the eldest sister, the eldest sister wears the wheat sister, and the last is mine!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who provoked them laughed there.

Wang Qiuju muttered and smiled: "Yes! ”

Xiaoli pouted there: "I'm going to start wearing my eldest sister's clothes again." ”

I used to wear the big ones like this and wore the small ones, but I've only been wearing new clothes for two years, and I'm going back again.

Looking at her pouting, the eldest sister laughed and arched her with her arm: "Look for your second brother!" ”

Xiaoli's eyes lit up when she heard this.

looked at Yang Xiaole.

Seeing the gazes of several people, Yang Xiaole also rolled his eyes.

"What's the use of looking for me! The eldest brother is the mother-in-law of a big cadre! ”

What's the use of looking for him!

Unless he endures a few years, their home is besieged by the whole compound.

Human nature is like this, you are better than others, people envy you, if the gap between good and good is a world of difference, it is jealousy.

When they heard this, they were all laughing.

The eldest brother also gave him a roll of his eyes: "Then I'm not a big cadre." ”

Yang Xiaole also smiled, even if the eldest brother is a big cadre, it is useless.

Kyoto has always had a No. 34 supply office, which is a special supply office to ensure the material livelihood of some people.

Not to mention Ding Ruolan and Uncle at this level.

Even at the level of Director Sun of the Street Office, the level of the department and bureau has to find a leader to buy something there.

Then he thought of something and said to Wang Qiuju: "Mother, if I were you, I would go to the department store and buy more clothes that don't require tickets!" ”

"How expensive is that! What are you buying that thing for? Panic? ”

Wang Qiuju is definitely unwilling.

Yang Xiaole explained with a smile: "Mother, think about it, this cloth ticket will be so much less next year, but a lot of clothes that should be worn still have to be worn, so what should I do?" If you have a little ability, you must buy finished clothes! There must be only two ways for this finished clothes to go in the future, one is to increase the price, and the other is to start collecting tickets. ”

These words made Wang Qiuju hesitate for a while.

After thinking about it, he finally nodded: "Well, the boss still took the time to buy clothes, and it will be more than a month since you got married." ”

As for other people's clothes, it was never mentioned to buy new ones.

The boss got married this time, and the furniture cost nearly three hundred, and he had to buy some other daily necessities, finished sheets, clothes, and it was estimated that it would cost more than a hundred.

Half of this property was removed at once.

Can she not feel distressed!!

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this, and didn't say anything more.

Besides, it's bald.

A few people were eating and chatting, and the old lady broke out another news, that is, in the future, the grain will not only be sold at the grain station.

Nowadays, many shops, especially grocery stores, have started to sell these things.

The reason for this is not because there is too much food and there is nowhere to sell it.

It's because there's so little food.

The current food stamps are distributed three or even four times a month, because they are worried that after the rush to buy, the grain station will run out of food, after all, the grain here in Sijiu City is basically supplied from other places.

As a result, every day in the early hours of the morning, before dawn, the grain station is full of long queues.

For this, a few people didn't pay much attention to it.

The food stamps at home are all food that Yang Xiaole found time to buy, and there is no need to be like the compound, where the children go to line up to buy food before dawn.

It's okay in the summer, but it's a real sin in the winter.

After eating, the eldest brother and mother went to work, and the others took them at home, and the wheat went to study and did not come back.

As for Xiaoli, because Hua Yourong went to school, she naturally didn't go to Su Ling to learn to dance.

It was almost time to rest at home, so I rode to school.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaole was also struggling with one thing.

That is, he is going to form the image of a demon king in the courtyard, or in the entire alley.

But there is no way, now people have not yet reached the years of rebellion, they are all good babies, and they can't find opportunities.

It's not interesting for a child to play at home.

Rain on someone's parade.

After riding to the place, the class was quite lively.

Everyone was there chatting.

After eating at noon, I regained some energy and laughed there.

There were also people there humming ditties.

Guan Yingying was sitting in the corner, chatting with Gu Lan and the two of them.

Seeing Yang Xiaole come in, she wanted to go over and pay back the money, but looking at so many classmates in the class, she felt that she still didn't have such a thick skin to go over.
