Wear to the age!I take the space to eat and drink spicy food

Chapter 5 Who's Afraid of Who?

"This, you take it back, it's enough for you to eat for two or three days."

There was no one in the alley, so Jiang Xue pulled down the zipper of her coat, and took out a bag of two catties of millet in transparent bags from the supermarket from the large inner pocket.

When she passed by the grain station just now, she glanced at the writing on the wall of the grain station, and made sure that it would not be obtrusive to take out the millet.

The little boy probably didn't expect that Jiang Xue would give him food, so he was stunned immediately, came back to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, I can't..."

"You take it." Jiang Xue stuffed it into his hand without refusal. It was only two catties of millet, and she thanked him for leading the way with the bowl of water.

The woman herself was already so hungry, and she kindly asked the little boy to lead the way for Jiang Xue. If Jiang Xue didn't have it, it would be fine to give a couple of catties of millet if she had enough supplies.

It's not that she can't give more, but it's not relative, not to mention that the wealth is not exposed. Based on Jiang Xue's initial judgment of the supplies here, two catties of millet is already a lot.

The little boy looked at the millet in his hand and swallowed subconsciously.

This is Huang Cancan's millet. He hasn't eaten it for two years, even when he was in his hometown, he didn't eat it a few times.

Jiang Xue gave Xiaomi a turn and left, the little boy quickly raised his head to thank: "Thank you sister."

"Sister, you are a good person."

"You go back quickly." Jiang Xue didn't turn her head, she muttered in her heart, I don't want to be a good person, and those who are issued a good person card in TV dramas usually don't live long.

After the little boy carefully hid Xiaomi in his arms and came out of the alley, Jiang Xue was no longer on the street.

When the little boy left the city to go home, Jiang Xue was already wandering around the city.

The tallest building in Jiangcheng is only three floors, it is a department store.

With the department store as the center point, there are food stations, supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores, Jiangcheng County Hospital, state-run restaurants, and state-run guest houses...

The little boy was not there, so Jiang Xue found a corner after wandering around for a while, and took out a bag of toast bread from the space under the cover of the big shoulder bag.

Eating toast bread is of course not as good as cooking with hot rice, but after seeing the situation here, Jiang Xue is no longer picky.

Squatting in the corner, after eating a bag of toast and drinking a bottle of fresh milk, Jiang Xue burped, then got up and continued to stroll to observe the collection situation.

Passing by the grain station again, Jiang Xue saw that there were no people in front of the grain station, but a long queue had formed, after thinking about it, she also moved over.

Talk less and watch more. Occasionally, when she hears the excitement, she will follow up with a word or two, in order to get some news from these gossips.

Soon, she learned about the situation from the cheerful discussions of the people in line. A batch of grain had arrived at the grain station, and every household was queuing up to buy grain with grain books and bags containing grain.

Today is November [-]st, which happens to be the day when wages are paid to buy food, so there are extraordinarily many people on the street.

It is good to have an urban hukou in this year and month. If you have a hukou, you will have a food quota. Adults who do not work have 25 catties of grain a month, including one catty of fine grain, but the fine grain depends on whether the grain station has a supply.

Minors are given 25 catties of food a month in junior high school, and [-] catties of food in elementary school.

For those who have a job, they will get the grain quota uniformly for each post.

Work hard, like a worker, is [-] catties of grain, of which [-] catties of fine grain.

Those who go down the mine like miners will get an extra five catties of grain, which is just ordinary coarse grain.

Those who sit in the office and clerical class can eat 32 catties of grain a month, including two catties of fine grains. Calculated, adults eat almost one catty of grain a day.

At this time, there was no non-staple food, and there were only a few non-staple food coupons issued every month. It was frugal, and a catty of food a day for adults could barely pad their stomachs.

These days, no one is alone. The old and the young, the old and the young, take care of the old, subsidize the young, every month like this, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, and then the wages and food stamps are paid. Hurry up to buy food, and the new month will continue.

Jiang Xue always remembers that she is a criminal, without a letter of introduction or proof.

Let alone buying things with grain books and non-staple food tickets, she had never even seen them before.

Although she looks generous and doesn't show timidity wherever she goes, she knows what's going on.

So, when the queue was almost over, Jiang Xue took a chance to slip away.

It was also at this time that she realized that millet, rice, and white flour are all refined grains, which are not easily seen.

No wonder when she gave the little boy two catties of millet, he could stuff an egg into his shocked mouth.

But since he gave it, Jiang Xue didn't regret it, after all, if she was asked to take the dried sweet potatoes and other coarse grains at this time, she wouldn't be able to get them out.

Without a letter of introduction, she can't live in a hostel. She doesn't have a household registration, so she doesn't have a job and no food quota. Work and food quota are secondary to Jiang Xue. The most important thing for her now is that she has no place to live.

In the wild, she can still deal with a night in the cornfield, but in the city, she can't still walk on the street at night, right?
It's okay to walk around and sleep in a corner for a day or two, but if someone with a heart sees it and interrogates her, won't she suffer?

The grandparent and grandson outside the city have been in Jiangcheng for more than two years, and neither of them has registered permanent residence, let alone she has only been here for two days.

Even if another census is carried out, where people leave their names and geese leave their hair, she, who appeared out of nowhere, doesn't even know anyone, and doesn't have a source, and she can't tell why. Can't stop investigating.

What if she was shot or tortured... Jiang Xue frowned when she thought of this.

Jiang Xue never imagined that there would be a day when she would be stuck with her household registration.

Passing by the department store, Jiang Xue thought, anyway, I don’t know where to go now, so let’s go in and take a look.

"There is something wrong!"

The salesperson in the department store cursed: "If you don't have money, what are you asking, you're just entertaining me."

"Walk, walk, go elsewhere if you don't buy it!"

At noon, when no one was there, I happened to be eating melon seeds and chatting with the colleague at the counter next door. I didn't know that such a person came in and kept asking her about the things at the counter, asking for the price and not buying it.

The salesperson was interrupted several times to chat, and immediately put his hips on his hips and cursed.

Jiang Xue was stunned by the scolding, and scolded back impolitely: "Why are you talking, this is your job, you are a salesperson, you stand here, I asked what's wrong?"

She has no money?
Well, she has no money, and she can't get a cent of the money here.

But if you don’t have money, you can’t show your timidity. It’s more problematic if you are timid. I didn’t see her being so generous at the grain station just now, and none of those aunts and aunts would think too much about it.
