"What's wrong?" the middle-aged woman heard the little girl shout, and hurriedly came out of the house and asked.

"Mom, there's a big brother who asked me to give this to you. The little girl handed the paper bag to her mother.

The middle-aged woman took the paper bag, touched it, and then pulled the little girl into the house, because she had already figured out what was in the paper bag.

Back in the house, the middle-aged woman hurriedly put the paper bag on the table and opened it.

"Sugar!" said the little girl's eyes lit up when she saw what was inside.

In fact, there are not only sugar, but also two packets of peach cakes, and twenty catties of fine food stamps, which middle-aged women are staring at now.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of white rabbit toffee and fruit candy and put them in the little girl's hand and asked, "Where is the big brother who gave you this?"

"Outside the gate. ”

Hearing the little girl say this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly ran out, but there were still people outside the gate, except for the two children in the courtyard, not even a pedestrian.

The middle-aged woman returned to the house and said to the little girl, "You can't tell anyone about the things that my eldest brother gave you." ”

"Ahh

"Why do children ask so much? Don't say it if you don't tell it. ”

"Oh! ”

For Fang Yuan, these things were nothing at all, but for middle-aged women, this was a send-off!

What was she doing when she went out just now? Actually, she just wanted to go back to her parents' house to borrow some food, but before she could speak, she was pushed back by her sister-in-law with a few words.

didn't even wait for her to speak, there was no way, she could only come back with the child.

But it's understandable that no one is rich now, and it's better if she doesn't speak, otherwise she won't look good when she says no.

If you take it out to exchange coarse grain for others, although you can't exchange it as much as before, there is still no problem in changing it for 100 catties.

Even if you exchange coarse and fine food stamps, you can exchange forty or fifty catties, which is enough for your family to have a good year.

It's just that what she can't figure out is who gave these things to her family, could it be the eldest brother? The middle-aged woman thought to herself.

But soon she shook her head, not to mention that the children and daughters of the eldest brother's family all knew each other, and it was impossible for the eldest brother's family to have so many fine food stamps.

There are also peach crisps and candies, this thing is not something that can be bought with money, and there must be a ticket, and it is impossible for the eldest brother's family to have this ticket at all.

The middle-aged woman racked her brains at home and couldn't figure it out, but Fang Yuan was like no one else, and he walked back to the hotel.

Usually, Fang Yuan basically went out for a day, like this time he didn't even come back at noon, this was the first time.

Back in the room, Fang Yuan hurriedly plugged the door, and then began to count the tickets he got this time, to be honest, there were more tickets today.

First of all, the food stamps, not counting the ones given to middle-aged women, there are more than 650 catties here in Fang Yuan.

It's a pity that I didn't get coarse grain stamps and coarse and fine grain stamps today, otherwise I could still sell some of them, and I wouldn't be willing to sell them for fine grain stamps.

In addition to food stamps, the most are tobacco and alcohol stamps, and there are more than a dozen catties of tea stamps, you must know that tea is a second-class restricted material!

In this way, I got more than a dozen catties today, and I took it back at the price of cabbage.

The rest of the tickets are more miscellaneous, including peanut tickets, melon seed tickets, non-staple food tickets, sugar tickets, oil tickets, meat tickets, fruit tickets, industrial coupons and so on.

There are even more than ten catties of milk powder tickets, you must know that this thing is not easy to get, if it is not related, except that the family that has just given birth will ration, it is impossible to have it at all.

Even if it is a family that has just given birth, it is only six catties in total, and it is gone after eating, and if you want to eat it, you either secretly go to the pigeon market to buy it, or you are begging grandpa to tell grandma everywhere to find someone to get it.

Seeing so many tickets, to be honest, Fang Yuan couldn't believe it, but he was soon relieved, too, these tickets cost him more than four hundred yuan.

What is the concept of more than 400 yuan, which is equivalent to the sum of the average salary in this era in a year.

After spending so much money, it is difficult to think about too much, of course, the main thing is that he buys it cheaply, so to speak, those food stamps, if they are sold in the pigeon market, can be sold for at least one thousand five or six.

However, it is impossible for Fang Yuan to sell it, the food stamps can't be sold, but other tickets can, but he is not short of money for the time being, so he is not in a hurry.

After counting the votes, Fang Yuan put the tickets into the space, and then opened the door and went out, because it was almost time to eat.

Now that Fang Yuan is arrogant, he didn't go to the small restaurant again, but found a fairly good restaurant, ordered himself a meat dish and a vegetarian dish, and asked for a bowl of rice and a soup.

Good guy, this meal made Fang Yuan's stomach round, and the whole thing was round, and he rested for almost half an hour before coming out of the restaurant.

There's no way, if you eat too much, you can't stand up at all, and now it's not like the next generation, if you can't finish eating in the future life, you'll leave, but in this era, no one will waste it.

Coming out of the restaurant, Fang Yuan began to wander around, this can't be blamed on him, he was too full to eat, it was really not good not to move.

After sneaking up to one o'clock, Fang Yuan went to the toilet, only then did he feel much better, and then ran out.

It's Sunday, and it's the rarest time of the week, so go out again this afternoon, and tomorrow you can take a break, or go to the pigeon market.

It's a pity that good luck didn't follow, and I went to a few compounds in the afternoon, although I also did some business, but it was all a small fight.

When it was almost dark, Fang Yuan had just returned to the hotel, maybe he had eaten too much at noon, Fang Yuan had no appetite at all now, so he washed and slept directly.

At the same time, in a house in the compound where Fang Yuan went in the morning, a middle-aged man was chasing and beating a boy.

The boy was none other than the guy who wanted to grab Fang Yuan's things at the beginning, was scared away by Fang Yuan with a knife, and finally found someone to sell Fang Yuan's three hundred food stamps.

"Mom, Mom, help! My dad is going to kill me. The boy shouted as he hid.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the back room, hurriedly protected the boy, and asked the middle-aged man, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Ask him. The middle-aged man pointed at the boy and said.

"Son, what's going on?"

Hearing his mother ask, the boy whispered, "I sold the food stamps." ”

"What food stamps?" asked the middle-aged woman, looking at the middle-aged man.

"I just got 300 catties of food stamps from the logistics boss two days ago, and I was going to send them to my relatives, but I didn't expect this kid to sell them. ”

"That's it?" The middle-aged woman touched the boy's head and said, "I thought it was a big deal, you wouldn't look for Lao Wang again!"

Hearing his lover say this, the middle-aged man glared at the boy and said, "That's all it takes." ”

The next morning, Fang Yuan didn't plan to go out, but after eating, he felt bored after staying in the hotel for a while, so he went out again.

But today I didn't go to business, but went to a bookstore, and this time I came to the city under the banner of buying books and materials, so I can't go back empty-handed.

So while you have time today, it's better to go to Xinhua Bookstore, buy some by the way, and explain when you go back.

After coming to Xinhua Bookstore, Fang Yuan took a turn inside, there were not many books in it at all, but there were quite a lot of comic books.

Fang Yuan casually took a few books, then took some study materials, and went to the counter to pay the money.

The salesman glanced at the things Fang Yuan bought, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Are you sure you want these?"

"Yes, sure. Fang Yuan nodded.

The reason why the salesperson was surprised was because when other children came here, they basically bought comic books, and only Fang Yuan was the only one who bought books and materials.

"By the way, how do you sell those comic books?"

Fang Yuan didn't have any interest in these comic books, but the second and third sisters liked it!

You can buy some and show them back, in this day and age, reading comic books is probably the happiest time for children.

"It depends on what you want?"

"Uh!" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked over and hugged a bunch of them and said, "I want all of these." ”

"Ahh ”

"That's right, settle the score!"

"Okay!" the salesman agreed, but settled the account for Fang Yuan.

Comic books are very cheap, only a few cents a copy, only a very small part of it is more than a dime, and the pile of Fang Yuan hugging together is only more than seven yuan.

This is already a lot, and I don't want to think about how much a month's salary is, no way, for the two sisters, Fang Yuan is absolutely willing.

On the contrary, Fang Yuan didn't have much money to buy books and materials, a total of more than eight cents, not even two yuan.

It had already cost nearly a month's salary to the eldest sister, and Fang Yuan was also a little distressed, how many tickets could be bought with so much money!

Distressed is distressed, Fang Yuan still bought it, and after paying the money, the salesman gave him a net pocket and asked him to load the book and comic strips.

Fang Yuan walked out of the bookstore with a net, he didn't go back to the hotel, but found a place where no one was there and put the books into the space.

Then Fang Yuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and in this supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Yuan bought ten catties of white flour and five catties of rice.

The price of white flour is one dime and eighty-one catties, while the price of rice is one dime and thirty-one catties, of course, this is in the case of food stamps.

Otherwise, no amount of money will be sold to you, this is a planned economy, everything is planned in advance.

Of course, Fang Yuan would not just buy this, but bought so much in this one, no, after leaving this supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Yuan went to the next one.

After running to more than a dozen houses, Fang Yuan bought 100 catties of white flour and 50 catties of rice, and used 150 catties of food stamps, but the money didn't cost much.

A hundred catties of white flour is only eighteen yuan, and fifty catties of rice cost even less, only six yuan and five cents, and it can be seen from here that a person really can't spend much money a month.

For example, Fang Yuan's family, even if they eat all fine grains, this 100 catties of white flour and 50 catties of rice are enough to eat for a month, and the money spent is only more than 20 yuan.

The average person is about six yuan, which is not much! But there is a premise here, that is, you must have a ration in your food book, or have enough food stamps.

This is to eat fine grains, if you eat fine grains, coarse grains and coarse and fine grains, the cost of living can be greatly reduced, and even two yuan per person per month is enough.

It depends on the proportion you eat, for example, coarse grains account for 70 percent, coarse and fine grains account for 20 percent, and fine grains account for 10 percent, then it doesn't cost much.

If you just eat according to the ration on the grain book, it will be less than two yuan a month.

However, the ration of food is simply not enough, at most it will make you starving to death, and it is impossible to eat enough, or not to starve.

Otherwise, Wang Lin would not have worked the night shift and would have eaten meal tickets subsidized by the factory, but there was no way, Wang Lin had no ability to get food stamps and meal tickets, so he could only use this method.

Let's put it this way, if she doesn't go to the night shift, the whole family will starve, and the taste of starvation is not pleasant, and people who have not experienced it will never imagine it.
