Chapter 119 Reasons for being late

Early the next morning, Ye Yuxuan got up early to clean up, and went to the street to collect food stamps before it was time for work.

This time was different from last time, Ye Yuxuan saw an extremely lively scene.

There are two comrades, a man and a woman, who are distributing food stamps on the street. They stand on the steps and look at the lively residents below who are waiting to receive food stamps.

The two were laughing, and the residents waiting to receive food stamps were also happy. This month's supply is seven or eight more than last month, not to mention, the supply is also a little more.

One catty of fish per person, half a catty of meat, five taels of sesame oil, three taels of shiitake mushrooms, two taels of peanuts... Those who want a ticket, those who don't, there are all kinds of things, more or less, the supply is increased.

The most important thing is that there is finally a supply of fine grains this month, two catties of white flour and one catty of rice per person, which makes many people who have not seen fine grains for more than half a year very happy.

Listening to the introduction of the two comrades on the steps, the waiting residents were all happy. Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, the size of their own population, how much they can buy after receiving the tickets, and what they can eat during the New Year. of.

"Rice and white flour are supplied by head. You should pay attention. When you go to buy, don't forget to bring the food book. Otherwise, you will waste time queuing in line."

There was a burst of laughter below.

"I know."

"Don't make a mistake. If you bought all the dried sweet potatoes and cornmeal, you would be blind."

There was another burst of laughter: "I remember it all."

Who would go to buy food without bringing the food book and household registration with them?

So many people, when will we get it?
When Ye Yuxuan was secretly thinking about whether to come back at noon, she saw everyone's spirits shook, so she looked up, and saw one of the clerks patted the stacks of tickets on the table on the steps of the temporary room, indicating that it was about to start.

Ye Yuxuan looked at the people who were crowded in front, but didn't push forward, she just stood outside, and didn't respond to the surprised and curious eyes of the people behind when they turned their heads.

After a few more instructions, the two clerks began to read the roster and the invoice.

The coupons are printed in a joint format. Whoever’s name is called, the corresponding coupon will be torn off along the dotted line, and usually the coupons of the whole family will be issued together.

It looks like there are more than 100 people, but it was posted very quickly.

The person who received the coupons had a smile on his face, and without a word, he quickly took the cloth bag and went to the grain station and non-staple food store.

Ye Yuxuan could see the happy smiles on the faces of the half-grown children who came with their parents, and they muttered: "New Year's Eve, wear new clothes, eat meat... Don't cry, children, don't cry after Laba. Killing a pig..."

It seems that even children are looking forward to the day when they can eat meat during the Chinese New Year.

Ye Yuxuan was slightly taken aback, would that little brat do the same?
Soon, Ye Yuxuan shook her head in her heart, that's not the case for little brats, they all went to the black market to sell their prey, and they decided not to be like these cubs, jumping happily just to have a bite of meat.

Thinking of yesterday when he saw him turning his head and running away, Ye Yuxuan didn't know whether to say that he had a long memory or whether to say something about him.

A couple passed by Ye Yuxuan, and they were discussing the division of labor and shopping.

"I'll go to the grain station to buy grain first, and now you go to the non-staple food store to line up. I'll come to you after I finish buying grain. If you spot the big Chinese cabbage and pumpkin, grab it. Let's see the rest."

"I know, I know everything."

There are also families with half-children who have been called by their parents to line up. After receiving the tickets, they will rush to replace the children and let the children go to school.

It was relatively late for Ye Yuxuan's household registration to be registered on Yecheng Road, so naturally it was too late when it was issued to her.

After applying the red ink pad, she pressed her fingerprints and received the tickets. Before Ye Yuxuan had time to look at the stack of tickets, Section Chief Zhang from the sub-district office came out, so she warmly greeted Ye Yuxuan.

"Comrade Ye, get food stamps."

"Yes."

"Why don't you see Captain Lu?"

"Hehe, it's just a food stamp, I can do it myself."

"That's right, Captain Lu is still very busy..."

The two clerks who happened to be distributing food stamps also finished distributing the food stamps of the people behind Ye Yuxuan. One of the clerks was Xiao Chen from Section Chief Zhang's office. She had met Ye Yuxuan and was deeply impressed and greeted her warmly.

On the other hand, the other clerk saw Ye Yuxuan for the first time, and also saw Section Chief Zhang greeted Ye Yuxuan with a crooked smile, and looked at her in surprise.

"It's almost time to go to work. Section Chief Zhang is busy, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay, Comrade Ye, go slowly."

Ye Yuxuan didn't know why this section chief was so enthusiastic, but she didn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling face, besides, it was just a few words of pleasantries, and there was no need to do anything, Ye Yuxuan would not be too repulsive.

It was already nine o'clock when Ye Yuxuan arrived at the office. Seeing that Li Qingmiao hadn't come yet, she didn't think much about it. She made water to make tea and started her daily routine of reading newspapers.

At this time, the news and current affairs policies were all obtained from the newspapers, and Ye Yuxuan formed the habit of reading newspapers.

You must know that at this time, newspapers can only be ordered by units, and individuals cannot buy newspapers. Therefore, people who do not have units can't read newspapers if they want to read them.

Li Qingmiao didn't come to the office until almost ten o'clock. She had a happy smile on her face, and she was still happy about the many things she bought just now.

Seeing that Ye Yuxuan was here early, Li Qingmiao was surprised: "Director Ye, why did you come so early, didn't you go to buy food?"

"Not yet." Ye Yuxuan was more surprised than she was. Wasn't it working hours? Could it be that after the food stamps were issued, they rushed to buy food and didn't go to work?

Seeing Ye Yuxuan's bewildered expression, Li Qingmiao was a little amused, but it was wrong to be late for work, of course she wouldn't say it carelessly, so she lowered her voice and said, "I just went shopping for food."

Ye Yuxuan nodded, seeing it.

Li Qingmiao continued: "Our unit is no different than other units. The factory has its own grain station and non-staple food store, but our unit has a small number of people, and we all get food stamps in the street, so as long as there is no special important thing to do , Usually when food stamps are issued, they queue up early to buy food.”

She asked the three children in the family to queue up early in the morning, and she and her lover rushed to change the tickets after receiving them, so that they could get back to work so quickly.

Ye Yuxuan understood. No wonder, she felt that there were fewer people in the office building today. She thought she was on a business trip or something, but it turned out she was queuing to buy food.

"I live alone, and there is no one to line up for me. I come to work first after receiving the food stamps, and then go when there are fewer people in the afternoon." She is really impatient to queue up and crowd, which reminds her The scene of queuing up to enter the survivor's base in the last days.

Anyway, she doesn't depend on it for a living, so it doesn't matter.
