Chapter 382 The House Ruiner in the 1970s (13)
But if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it enough grass.
If you dont feed me, youll probably be toozy to go back to the way you used to be.
With this thought, Xu Yin decided to go to the city and get some ingredients back. Its hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
The brigade''s supply and marketing cooperative sells very few things. Except for the daily needs of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, everything else needs to be tried and tested.
For example, today''s dried tofu, I heard that the tofu factory has exceeded its production n, and public canteens and state-owned units cannot eat it, so it is distributed to various sales outlets, otherwise it will not be avable if you want to eat it.
Another example is the filter cigarettes thatzy dads often wear. There are only two or three low-priced economy cigarettes on the counter at the consignment point. Better brands, such as Hongmei, Phoenix, and Hongtashan, are not avable here at all.
As for fabrics and ready-made clothes, there are even less consignment points.
In order to drive myzy parents to earn work points, I still have to go to the city.
At dawn the next day, Xu Yin made breakfast and woke the couple up:
"Father, Mom, I have to go out. Get up and go to work quickly, and take a leave of absence for me and the captain. I''ve stewed breakfast in the pot, and you can eat it when youe back after working for an hour. Also, today you two If you dont get full work points and eat this braised pork meal, you wont be able to have another meal... No! If you dont get full work points in the morning, I will take the braised pork to my grandmas house and treat them to it!
The couple wanted to wait until their daughter went out, then sneak back into bed and take a nap: "..."
Forget it, go to work!
Otherwise, the braised pork in your mouth will fly away.
Seeing Xu Laosan and his wifeing to work again, the vigers were not as surprised as yesterday, but...
"Third brother, where is your little girl? Have you chosen a son-inw for yourself?"
Yes, Hun, Yinyins requirements are quite high, can you find her? Dont stay here and be an old girl.
The vigers who passed by the entrance to the consignment store and were chatting under the big banyan treest night heard about Xu Yin''s shocking words, and when they saw Xu and Laosan, they couldn''t help but make fun of them.
Xu Laosan and his wife looked at each other in confusion: "What are you asking for?"
"Your family''s request for a son-inw, didn''t Yin girl say it herself? My son came back and learned a lesson about how to be nice to her and listen to her words. She said one thing about a son-inw but not the other... tsk tsk tsk! You guys said, so Can you find a son-inw with such high requirements? Not to mention our vige, the entire Hongqi Township would be hard-pressed to pick one."
Xu Laosan was happy: "My daughter really said that? Hahahaha! That''s great! I was worried that she wouldn''t be happy to recruit a son-inw, so I didn''t dare to mention it to her. So she is very happy? Thats fine, nothing else matters! Isnt it a mans duty to be nice to his wife and listen to her words? Otherwise, why marry someone else, right? "
Chen Hun gave him an appreciative look: "Yes!"
The couple went to work happily.
Xu Laosan even hummed a little tune.
Thinking that the second daughter agreed to recruit a son-inw, no one would say that he was broke.
Thinking about having braised pork for lunch, I suddenly felt that the sky was so blue, the clouds were so white, and I felt so happy pulling weeds.
When I think about it, this is just the way it is to go to work. Why are you tired? Not tired at all!
Everyone:
Why is it that every time these two open their mouths, people have the urge to put a sack on them?
In thatpartment, Xu Yin carried a matchbox in a snakeskin bag and walked quickly to the intersection near the townshipmune.
There are often collective oxcarts or tractorsing into the city to pull goods, and you can take a ride there.
It was good luck, there was a tractor ready to go into the city as soon as we arrived.
Xu Yin grabbed a handful of melon seeds for the master, and the master said she was polite. He also said that he would be back around 8:30. If she wanted to take a ride, she would wait at the intersection of the road out of the city at 8:30.
As soon as Xu Yin heard that this was a good thing, she quickly thanked him. Going into town on a tractor is much faster than on two legs, but its also really bumpy.
Xu Yin thought that she would have to get a bicycle. Taking a ride was not as convenient as owning a car.
But it is only 1974, and the price of bicycles is much more expensive than in the early 1980s, and bicycle tickets are not easy to get.
She made a matchbookst night, and before going to bed, she took out the money and tickets left over from the mission in the 1980s and sorted them out, and found that many of them were unusable.
Especially the tickets, which have a stamp and the time written on them.
If she dared to use the tickets ten yearster, she would be caught as a counterfeiter the next day. Believe it or not.
But there are a few banknotes that can be used.
After all, after the new currency was issued in 1980, the old currency has not been cancelled, and is still circting in the market. It is just a little old, but it has been kept in her ticket book, and it is quite smooth.
Originally, I was nning to take it back to future generations as a family heirloom, but now I can only use it to save an emergency.
Arrived in the county town, Xu Yin first went to the match factory to hand in the task, and then picked up a bag of matchboxes back.
Even though you cant really make much money by gluing matchboxes, mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is. Moreover, this is a project that Grandpa Xu got for extra money through a favor, so she cant leave it in her hands.
"Yo! This batch is pretty good, t and straight." The eldest sister who inspected the matchboxes checked the matchboxes and nodded with satisfaction, "In the future, the batch will be like the one handed in today. I will make the decision for you to get more."
Xu Yin said in surprise: "Can I get more?"
"Theoretically, it''s impossible. There are no family members of the employees here. She has to take care of her mother-inw when she is sick. She has no time to deal with it recently, so she sent it back. For a while, I was toozy to look for someone outside. There were so many people who knew about it that they were fighting over each other. Noisy. I think the quality of your batch of paste is really good, so I might as well give it to you. There are two thousand in total. Take it back and paste it well! The quality is good, and I will keep them for you next time I have such an opportunity."
Thank you, eldest sister! Xu Yin grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her.
In thest small world, at Gu Xijins request, sunflowers were nted every year, and more and more sunflowers were nted. When they were ripe, they were fried into sunflower seeds with different vors, and there were endless amounts of them to eat.
In an era when supplies are scarce, it is the best way to use it to show favors.
The elder sister passed the customs here, and Xu Yin took the note she wrote to the ounting office to collect thest batch of money.
Hitting matchboxes every night, I only got 50 cents after gluing a thousand matchboxes.
Xu Yin suddenly felt that this job was too cheap.
Fortunately, she has a sr-charged studymp. Once the curtains in her room are drawn and a light-blocking curtain is hung, her parents dont even know that her room is very bright.
What if you really made this little money by scraping together kerosenemps and working until you were blind? Xu Yin felt it was so worthless.
But its not easy to find a project to make extra money now. Even the matchboxes are scrambling for someone to paste them.
Continue to receive and keep confused!
Fifty cents is not much, but at least it can give the family a meal of meat.
The meat sales window at the side of the supply and marketing cooperative has a lot of people queuing up.
Xu Yin asked a kind-hearteddy whether it was necessary to have a meat ticket to buy meat.
Thats a must! How can you buy meat without a ticket? However, if you want to buy pork trotters, stick bones and other meatless items, you can buy them without a ticket, but they will be more expensive.
Xu Yin nodded thoughtfully.
