Becoming a stepmother in the 80th courtyard

Chapter 54: Insights from Supply and Marketing Cooperatives

An Qiyue is no longer the same An Qiyue she was when she first came to this world. She still has a certain understanding of prices in this world. The price of this kind of snack, how can I put it, is considered luxurious by many people.Especially not as delicious as the ones she made herself.

She calculated the price of snacks. A freshly fried fried pancake and a bowl of hot white syrup in the morning cost eight cents and one tael of food stamps. Some rare dry portions were large, but if you buy a snack with one tael of food stamps, The cheapest kind is only [-] cents (forty-eight cents per pound of animal crackers are not included), and it’s gone after a few bites. You save three cents a day, which is nine cents a month. In her mother’s words, you can buy it for several days. The dish is ready.

Compare the two and you will know which one to choose.

It’s true that money here is hard to spend, but it’s also because people’s wages are generally not high.

I went to the rice seller again and looked at it. It was [-] cents per catty. An Qiyue also bought ten catties for cooking.

Anyway, there are tool people around, so don't worry about taking it home.

I just didn't expect that a straight man would buy An Qiyue a hand polish while she was buying rice. It was called a colorful brand. Although it was not expensive, An Qiyue felt happy in her heart.

Finally, they went to the counter selling cloth. They still needed cloth tickets for [-] cents per foot. An Qiyue didn't care. Anyway, he bought it and took it home and played with it. Usually he would be bored at home alone during the day, so he could kill time and wear clothes. Of course she was well-dressed, but she didn't tell Xiao Zhan that she was already a prodigal today.

Then An Qiyue heard someone else's whisper, "Auntie, do you want some defective cloth? The newly arrived ones are free of charge for [-] cents per square foot. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you want to go back and make some clothes for your children?" It’s okay to make a pair of cotton shoes.”

Who would want to miss such a good thing?What's more, you don't need a cloth ticket. If you don't have a cloth ticket, you can usually only buy "back spinning cloth" (that is, the rewoven cloth after recycling old clothes).

It is true that this kind of cloth does not require a cloth ticket, but it is not strong. If you pull it with a little force, it will make a big hole, and it is also rough and pricked when you wear it. It will make the whole body feel itchy and uncomfortable.

So fools also know how to choose, defective products are better than spun fabrics.

So An Qiyue listened to the aunt's calculations. A piece of cloth is ten feet or one hundred feet. An adult needs seven feet to make a suit of clothes. Adding children, it takes twenty or thirty feet. A new population has been added, and the children have also seen the wind, and there must be a replacement. Hey, this is at least thirty feet.

I saw the aunt gritted her teeth, "Okay, come thirty feet."

An Qiyue thought this aunt was too cute, with that pained look on her face. This meant that she had such a good thing. Without such a good thing, she would have to pay two or three times the price, not to mention giving cloth tickets. Could it be that Don’t buy it if it’s too expensive?

Not to mention, if An Qiyue learned the truth, at least he wouldn't buy so much. After all, how can the villagers have so many cloth tickets? They are not all "three years for new ones, three years for old ones, and another three years for sewing and mending."

（布票的单位一般有：1寸、2寸、半尺、1尺、2尺、5尺、10尺等，布票是购物的凭证，不许买卖流通。）
An Qiyue looked at a certain tool man, well, it seems that I can't take it down, there are too many. "Let's go, come and buy next time."

Xiao Zhan also felt a little bit reluctant to let it go, but he didn't want to sway his wife's desire to buy things. "Daughter-in-law, how about I send these home first and then pick you up?" You can continue to buy.

An Qiyue can do it if she thinks about it, she still wants to bring out some ingredients, so that the man won't have any doubts when she brings it out in the future, "Okay, you send it back first, and I'll go buy some food, salt."

An Qiyue only remembered when she was shopping that her household registration had not been transferred yet.

If the account is not here, there is no coal purchase certificate, food book, etc., so I have to apply for the account this afternoon.

An Qiyue took advantage of Xiao Zhan's return to ask about the prices of the things needed here. Of course, it was impossible to buy them because there was a lot of space.

In particular, if you want to buy a Chinese cabbage, it is common to buy "winter storage Chinese cabbage" for the winter in the north, and you can buy it with a "winter storage cabbage coupon". Obviously, An Qiyue does not have this coupon.

In fact, when autumn comes, every family will buy "winter-storage Chinese cabbage", transport it home on a wheelbarrow or a flatbed tricycle, and store it in the corridors and aisles. The whole family will rely on it for food throughout the winter.

Moreover, people in the north basically eat noodles, and very few eat rice. But An Qiyue is not a rice stapler, so she bought ten kilograms of rice before.

But thinking of Xiao Zhan and his son, An Qiyue resigned and went back to buy some white noodles.

Thinking of the soy sauce bottle, hehe, very good, I can buy one of these, after all, it is not a question of whether she has brought it or not, but a question of whether she has it at home, okay?

Then after Xiao Zhan sent back the things he bought, when he came to the supply and marketing cooperative again, he saw the young daughter-in-law standing not far from the door.

The little man, with several vegetables and bags of noodles and soy sauce bottles beside him, was looking at him and smiling.

"Xiao Zhan!" An Qiyue waved her hand to signal him to come directly, because they can go home now.

Xiao Zhan parked his bicycle in front of An Qiyue, straightened his long legs, and walked over, "Have you bought it?"

"Well, let's go home." It's almost time for today.

Anyway, she already knew the way, so she just came back if there was anything missing.

"Okay, I'll tie these up first." Xiao Zhan put the things on the front of the bicycle with the things that were placed there.

When the two of them returned to the compound, they were naturally surrounded by people. After all, the people in the compound who are idle at home are really idle.

But this time, one of the aunts spoke up, "Officer Xiao is back, who is this?"

"Hello, sister-in-law. This is my daughter-in-law named An Qiyue. Please take care of me in the future."

"Hello, sister-in-law." An Qiyue then yelled, after all, they all belong to the same compound, so you can't see them when you look up.

"Hey, okay, okay, my surname is Lu. From now on, you can call me Sister-in-law Lu. Well, that's my home. Come and sit at my sister-in-law's house when you have time." Sister-in-law Lu said while pointing to the location of her house, which is actually in Xiao Zhan. The second house is diagonally opposite the yard.

"What about that? You've just arrived. There must be some things to tidy up at home. If you need help from my sister-in-law, just ask."

"Alright Mrs. Lu, I understand, thank you." People in this world are very enthusiastic.

When Mrs. Lu saw someone say that, she said, "Okay then, sister-in-law is leaving first, you are busy." She was still muttering in her heart, the lesbian's voice was really pleasant to hear.

I don't know where Xiao Zhan and the elders abducted such a lovely person, no wonder they didn't like the ones introduced by those sister-in-laws in the compound.

No, she had to tell this first-hand news to make everyone happy.

Thinking like this, people soon went to chat with those old sisters.

Seeing that An Qiyue was not displeased at all, Xiao Zhan said, "Sister-in-law Lu's husband's surname is Guo, and he is a regimental leader whom I know well."
