Chapter 37 Supply and Marketing Cooperatives' "Destined People"
Gu Xihuai raised his head from the book, looked at Gu Yuehuai's back, and then lowered his head and buried himself in the book.
His younger sister, after her head was smashed, seems to be awake, and she is not as dull and annoying as she used to look.
However, I can't expect her to make any contribution to the family, I just hope that she will think more about her family in the future, and stop being confused all day long, and there is nothing else in her heart except for men.
After all the strong laborers in the family go to work, the family's predicament will always be alleviated.
But when he thought that it would be difficult to have time to study in the future, Gu Xihuai cherished the current leisure and freedom even more.

Gu Yuehuai walked all the way, and she didn't know if the space well water played a role, and she didn't even pant for breath all the way.
Before long, the people were in town.
She went to the supply and marketing cooperatives first.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the workers had not yet left work, and there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Yuehuai entered the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, and there was a circle of shelves around the wall in the house, on which daily necessities were sporadically placed, such as toothpaste, soap, basins, matches, pots, etc.
A meter away from the shelves is a counter, behind the counter there is a salesman sitting at a distance, a supply and marketing cooperative, there are four salesmen, each of them busy with their own business, or knitting sweaters, or reading books, or braids.
They were busy with their hands, and their mouths were chattering and gossiping.
"Beautiful, you get married next month, how much bride price does the man give?" A salesman with short hair and a delicate appearance looked sideways at the salesman who was wearing braids on the other side, and there was no lack of envy in his tone.
Gu Yuehuai glanced up, the salesman with braids was not very pretty, but he had a gentle temperament, and he laughed after hearing his colleague's words, and there were small dimples on his cheeks.
"Not much," she said. ”
The Qingxiu salesman obviously didn't believe it, pouted a little unhappily, and when his eyes swept to the fat Gu Yuehuai, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he didn't even want to entertain him, so he got up and rushed to the warehouse behind the supply and marketing cooperative.
Seeing her run away, a slightly older salesperson rolled her eyes in the direction she had left and said, "What a careful eye." Beautiful, you won't talk to her in the future, you know? ”
Yao Meili pursed her lips and smiled implicitly, which was the answer.
She looked up at Gu Yuehuai, and her voice was like a spring breeze: "Comrade, what do you need?" ”
Gu Yuehuai shook her head: "I'm just going to take a look." ”
Yao Meili nodded, smiled at Gu Yuehuai, didn't greet her again, sat down on the chair and took out a ball of dark brown wool and knitted a sweater.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at it and retracted her gaze, although she often came to the supply and marketing cooperatives in her previous life, she had no intersection with these salesmen.
But it has to be said that the sales clerk position of the supply and marketing cooperatives was a very popular profession in the 70s.
Working in the supply and marketing cooperatives is very free, which can be seen from the behavior of a few salesmen, and you can take a hungry stomach to the public canteen to eat every day, not to mention the good food, and you can save a ration for the family.
Moreover, there is no need to look at people's faces like the salespeople of later generations.
The salespeople of this era still have a lot of right to speak, what they want to buy, the salesperson says there is something, and if there is no, they can sell things according to their preferences for customers, how capricious!
Therefore, if someone in someone's family works in a supply and marketing cooperative, it is a very dignified thing to say.
Gu Yuehuai has the intention of mixing a golden job, but if she wants to be a salesperson, she has to rely on relationships, and her job position is limited, so she can't over-make it, so she can only return one and make up for one.
So, if she wants to be a salesperson, she has no play.
Gu Yuehuai looked at it for a while, didn't buy anything, didn't ask anything, turned around and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
She didn't go to the black market, so she half-squatted not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, waiting for the "destined person".
She has just opened, and there are several pairs of white mesh shoes on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, with different sizes, and the pair in her hand is not small, after all, her current tonnage is here, and it is not easy to find a "destined person".
Gu Yuehuai waited like this, and the guests of the supply and marketing cooperatives also went back and forth several times, but there was not a single large tonnage, which was not unusual.
A fat and strong person like her represented the abundance of life in the seventies.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is an hour.
Gu Yuehuai's squatting legs were numb, and she secretly wondered in her heart, it seems that she can't catch someone who is destined today, so let's try your luck on the black market, maybe I can sell shoes, peppers, and gold all together?
She was secretly amusing at her thoughts, and over there, a girl of about the same tonnage as her suddenly walked over from the street and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Yuehuai looked at her for a moment, but she didn't hesitate, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"What's the matter?" The girl had a bad temper, and when she saw someone blocking the way, her face immediately sank, and the flesh on her face trembled, which was really similar to the pig killer with a face full of meat.
Gu Yuehuai's heart rose a little complicated, she was probably like this in the eyes of others, right?
However, after seeing Gu Yuehuai's body shape clearly, the girl's face visibly eased again, and even faintly felt a little sympathy, which shows that because of her weight and tonnage, she is not less looked down upon.
The girl lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Gu Yuehuai coughed lightly and pointed to a corner where no one was: "Let's borrow a step to speak?" ”
The girl was stunned and looked at her suspiciously, could it be a human trafficker?
However, looking at the familiar figure in front of her, she still didn't say anything, nodded and followed Gu Yuehuai over.
When she got to the corner, Gu Yuehuai looked around, and then she opened the basket, revealing the white mesh shoes on top, which were painted with bright blooming Lingxiao flowers, and the bright and dazzling orange-red flowers adorned the branches, which were amazingly beautiful.
The girl exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, is this the new style of the supply and marketing cooperative?" ”
Gu Yuehuai's heart was slightly relieved, knowing that this matter was already halfway through.
Although this girl is amazingly large, she is wearing a new army green coat, she is in good spirit, and she speaks standard Mandarin, and she knows that her family background is good at a glance.
Gu Yuehuai said: "No, this is what I painted." ”
"My dad feels sorry for me and always wants me to dress like a girl in the city, but look at me like this, where can I afford it? So I thought of a way to change hands and return the money to my dad. ”
"I don't know if you like it or not, it's only sold for three dollars and five."
"Don't worry, I haven't worn it at all, it's still brand new."
Gu Yuehuai lowered her eyes, and her tone was a little self-deprecating when she spoke.
She gave birth to a sharp mouth, and picked up a chance to be reborn with great difficulty, naturally knowing that when she sees people, she talks about people, and when she sees ghosts, she wants to sell her shoes smoothly, and she will inevitably show weakness.
It is an immutable truth that the world has compassion for the weak.
She wanted to sell the shoes normally, but time did not allow it, and the status quo did not allow it.
The girl looked at Gu Yuehuai, and there was a little sympathy and imperceptible vanity in her eyes, although their body sizes are not much different, but their backgrounds are very different, so in this comparison, she doesn't seem to be so unlucky?
Zhu Rongrong secretly rejoiced, and when she looked at the white mesh shoes painted with Lingxiao flowers in the basket, she became even more happy.
Aren't these shoes tailor-made for her?
If she wears these shoes back to the compound, those dead girls can't be envious?
