Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home.

Chapter 121 Not proven, controlled

Dinner is still a simple sweet potato porridge, and the two sweet potatoes that the system signed in are gone.All the family could eat were refined grains. Sweet potatoes belonged to miscellaneous grains, and Luo Cheng received coarse grain coupons for coarse grains, so they didn't use them up.

To buy grain in the grain store, you have to go there yourself, even if someone else buys it, at least you have to have the same household registration.Otherwise, anyone who picks it up and steals it can buy it.

But the food stamps that Luo Cheng received did not need to be bought by himself. The bills were usually recognized by the ticket but not the person.

After asking if the money was enough, Luo Chengcheng didn't say anything more.The two younger sisters spent a lot of money. When they went to a farmers market to buy vegetables, they almost always asked the price of the vegetables before buying them.Chinese cabbage costs one penny per catty, and spinach costs one cent and eight per cent. There is no currency, that is, if you don’t buy five catties of spinach, you can buy it for two cents per catty.You will be charged nine cents for five catties.

Just because spinach is a penny more expensive, I'm reluctant to buy it, so I don't have to worry about them spending money indiscriminately.

After dinner, Luo Cheng wandered around in the yard and looked at the condition of the room on the left.It is true that the bed, table and chairs are all bought, and the condition is not bad.It wasn't until it was dark that I planned to wash up and go to bed, but found that I forgot to buy another thermos bottle in the cafeteria and came back.

"Xiaoyu, we live in the city now, so we won't be able to do the work in our hometown brigade in the future. We just eat and drink for nothing like this."

"Shishi, don't be in a hurry. Let's take care of the house in the next two days. Let's look at the surrounding environment. It is impossible for everyone in the city to have a job, and the elder brother is very capable. Maybe he can give you a job in the future. We arrange work."

"Xiaoyu, today I saw that there are street sweepers who specialize in sweeping the roads. You can earn money by sweeping the roads in this city. Do you think I can make money by sweeping the roads?"

"I saw it too, but who are we going to sweep it for? We can't sweep the road with a broom, and someone will give us money~~."

In the city, many things that are commonplace are strange to those who have not traveled far.In rural villages and towns, people work hard in the fields all year round, but they can't earn much money.But when I came to the city, I found that sweeping the floor turned out to be a job. How simple it is, who can't sweep the floor.

The next day, Xiaoyu and Shishi got up early in the morning and went to the farmer's market to buy fatty meat.In the past in their hometown, they had almost no access to money, and occasionally they just went to make soy sauce.Buying meat, even if it happened occasionally a few years ago, they would not be asked to buy it.

After coming to the city with elder brother Luo Cheng, elder brother didn't care about it and let them go to buy anything. 20 yuan, went with Sissy yesterday, bought a bed, bought a table and chairs, and later bought briquettes, all the money went out of their hands.When it was time to pay, Shishi would do the calculation first, then hand it over to Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu would do the calculation again, for fear of paying an extra penny.

But they like this feeling. Although the elder brother didn't do anything, he still has the feeling of being valued.

"Brother, let's go buy meat."

"Um~~oh~~."

Luo Cheng opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was the two younger sisters, responded, turned over, and continued to sleep.It's still early, so it's a cool day, and I'm comfortable in bed~~.

After squinting for a while, Luo Cheng sat up suddenly, remembering that the clothes the two younger sisters were wearing were still thin. They had old cotton jackets, but it didn't look good to wear them now.

For the defective cloth brought back last time, Luo Cheng deliberately told his family not to give it to Xiaoyu and Shishi, and he would take care of it after taking them to the city.

There are still many cloth tickets and finished clothes tickets in the factory, but they have not been issued.The factory manager plans to pay wages in a unified manner next month. According to the level, more pay is paid and less is paid. This is a matter for the finance side.

The supply and marketing cooperative sells finished clothes. If there is no suitable size, many people will change the clothes themselves.The textile factory also gave a lot of tickets, even if you don't buy finished products, you can buy fabrics and make them yourself.

Luo Cheng made up his mind and came back at noon today to find time to take them to buy them. Although he didn't have any clothes, except for veteran uniforms and overalls, at least they were unpatched clothes.

Get up and get dressed, the water in the kettle was already cold last night.It is too laborious to start a fire and boil water, so I can only wash my face with cold water after brushing my teeth. It is really convenient to have running water and a sink.

After washing, Xiao Yu and the others haven't come back yet. Luo Chengcheng guessed that they should be queuing up to buy meat. The farmers' market doesn't open so early. If you go too early, you don't have to wait, but if you go early, you can at least be in the front row.Some people will go in advance in order to buy more fatty meat.

It seems that they can't wait for them to come back to get this breakfast today, so they go straight to work and go to the breakfast shop to buy vegetarian buns.

Ngee Ann Xikou Farmer's Market.

Luo Xiaoyu and Shishi came earlier, but they were not the earliest, but they were still very early.As soon as the butcher shop in this market opened, everyone queued up quite consciously.

When buying meat, you can figure out how much you want, but they won't cut it open for you and say you don't want the middle or any part here.

It's November, and it's not yet the end of the year. You can buy meat at this time.It's not the purchase of a small unit, or the family is basically wealthy, at least the family has dual employment.Otherwise, it’s not the New Year or the festival, even if there are meat tickets, they will be saved for the New Year’s meal.

But now those who come to buy meat are really paying one tael, two taels, or even half a tael of meat tickets.This kind of meat ticket is basically an additional benefit issued by the unit, otherwise the non-staple food is rationed for two taels of meat, and it is impossible to get one tael and half tael when it is taken out.

When it was Xiao Yu's turn, coincidentally, the same piece of meat was also fat and thin, and a fatter side happened to be exposed.

"Comrade, here, I want the meat here, I'll buy a catty."

The comrades selling meat forgot about Luo Xiayu. Although he sells things depending on the ticket and not the person, he comes to buy meat in such shabby clothes, and it costs a catty at a time.This is the first time I've seen a catty of meat. If you want them to sell meat, you can almost cut the meat without much deviation.This is something that has been practiced all the year round. It is a one-shot thing, and it is not cut directly.

"Little girl, where did you get your meat ticket?"

"My brother gave it to me, let's buy meat."

"Which unit does your brother belong to?"

"From the garage."

I asked a few simple questions, but I was just a little surprised, and their butchers didn't keep asking.Then he gestured to the part Xiao Yu pointed at just now and asked if he wanted it here.

"Little girl, who gave you the meat ticket and money? I think you stole it. There is a brother who works in an auto repair shop and will dress like this. It looks like a person from the countryside."

Suddenly, a questioning voice came from behind Luo Xiaoyu, and when he turned around, he saw an aunt with a bad face.

"What are you talking about? It was obviously given by my brother, so it wasn't stolen."

"Yes, my elder brother gave it to us."

Luo Xiaoyu retorted angrily, and Shishi naturally proved beside her.

But being scolded by the aunt who guessed so loudly, many people present didn't quite believe that Xiaoyu and Shishi were dressed like this and bought a catty of meat at once.

You said that if this brother treats them well, he will dress so poorly.If it is not good, they will have so much money and a catty of meat tickets.

So even if Xiao Yu and Shishi explained it, it caused more people to speculate. The people who came to buy vegetables were basically aunts and uncles, and there were also young people, not many.People like them like to watch the excitement and gossip.

The comrade who sells meat is also in a dilemma at this time. He actually thinks that more things are worse than less things. But in this scene, people accused the two little girls of being thieves, and the tickets and money came from improper sources.

But this matter is actually not difficult, just prove your identity.

"The two girls are from the city."

"My brother works in an auto repair shop and lives here. My sister and I come to live with him."

"That means you are not from the city, you are living together with your elder brother, right?"

The butcher asked, Luo Xiaoyu and Shishi nodded.

This matter is simple, the clothes are dressed like this, people come from the countryside to rely on the big brother in the city.But you can't listen to their one-sided words.

"Then just show everyone the certificate issued by your hometown, so as not to misunderstand everyone. I'll cut your flesh right away."

"Proof~~. We came here in my brother's car, and we didn't issue a certificate in the brigade."

"What about the certificate from the street office? If your brother works in the city, even if the brigade doesn't issue a certificate, he will take you to the street office to register."

Originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but what the two girls said made the butcher suspicious.It's not that you can't leave the village or township without a certificate.But when you go to other places, there is no proof that you can basically do nothing. Where do you come from and what do you do?

If you are visiting relatives, if you really don’t have a certificate, you can go to the street office to explain the situation and guarantee the issuance of a certificate from the street office.But if the relatives commit a crime, the guarantor will be held responsible.

"We only came the night before yesterday. Maybe my brother forgot about it. Let's go back and ask my brother about it."

Seeing the expressions of Xiaoyu and Shishi, the butcher salesperson felt that what they said was true.But this is not something that can let them go just by forgetting about it.Not only can they not buy this meat now, but they don't want to leave.

They got under control and called people to the police station to verify their words and identities.If it is really a thief who stole things and let them go, he may still be criticized.

Seeing that the two girls were controlled by the market staff, the aunt was a little proud, because she actually wanted the part of meat that the two girls asked for just now.At first, I thought that if the two girls bought a little, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I didn't expect it to cost a catty.

Hearing the question from the butcher seller, coupled with her observation, she felt that there was something wrong with the two girls.Even if there is no problem, it is okay to express the doubts in your heart.

Now it is advocated to report suspicious people and things around you. If you really want to report the crime of others, there may be rewards.
