Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Lu Jiang seemed particularly happy when he met Li Shuitian in Baozhou.

Calculating the time, Li Shuitian has been away from the army for a long time. Time flies so fast. At that time, Zhuang Zhuang just knew how to call his mother.

"Comrade Shuitian? Why are you here?" Lu Jiang remembered that although Li Shuitian's hometown was in Ji, it was not Baozhou. When he left the army, he was arranged to return directly to his hometown.

Li Shuitian handed the fish ticket and the urban resident supply certificate to the fish seller, and took out five yuan and handed it over. While watching the fish seller collect the money to catch fish, he said with a smile: "Buy fish for Xiongxiong first, and then come to my house for dinner. , let’s talk about it slowly, why I am here, it’s a long story, it’s hard to make it short.”

Lu Jiang's next words were blocked in one sentence.

Lu Erxiong was the happiest. Seeing the two big carp jumping out of the bucket, he also cheered loudly, "Big fish, big carp, sister, big carp!" He grabbed Fubao with his free hand. of clothes.

Fu Bao looked solemn and said, "The fish is not yours, it belongs to Uncle Shuitian."

Lu Erxiong immediately handed the penny he was holding to Li Shuitian. The latter was stunned, staring at the hot penny and looking at Lu Jiang, "Is Xiongxiong buying fish from me? Give me a penny?"

Lu Jiang held back his laughter, "That's right! And it's all his property."

It is already good for a little kid like Erxiong to know that money is needed to buy things. As for the prices? Sorry, he doesn't have that concept yet.

"That's smart, but I bought the fish for you to eat. I don't want your money." Li Shuitian put a penny into Er Xiong's pocket.

Lu Erxiong blinked his big eyes a few times, "Thank you, uncle!" He covered his pocket tightly with his little hands.

"You're welcome." Li Shuitian patted Er Xiong's head, first took the city residents' supply certificate and put it into his canvas bag, and then held the two carps tied with straw ropes in his hands.

They say they are big carps, but they are actually not big, weighing about two pounds each.

In many places, fish tickets are only available during holidays, such as Labor Day, National Day and Spring Festival, and each person can only get half a catty of fish tickets, except those near rivers, lakes and seas.

Li Shuitian explained to Lu Jiang: "There is a big lake nearby, and there are half a catty of fish stamps here every month, which doubles during the holidays. Many residents are reluctant to buy them, so they give away their fish stamps to Others are just like candy coupons. If they don’t want to buy them or there is a large population and a large supply, they give them to those in need.”

He had been in the army for many years. After his son passed away, the couple had limited expenses and saved a lot of money. Cao Hongzhu had a good relationship with his neighbors. He would give them food stamps that the other party could not afford or could not use up. They lived a good life. It's quite tasty.

The fish seller obviously knew him, and pointed to the half-dead shrimp in the bucket, "You can buy it with the supply certificate, no tickets required!"

Li Shuitian took a few glances into the bucket and took out the supply certificate he had put back in. "Sister Zhang, I have a visitor at home. It's not easy to meet comrades in the army. They also brought three children with them. I want three kilograms of live shrimps." , don’t let me kill you!”

"Okay, if I dare to do you harm, Comrade Hongzhu will not come to me to settle accounts!" Cao Hongzhu's toughness is well known to everyone.

Li Shuitian smiled, not ashamed, but proud.

After buying fish and shrimp, Li Shuitian also bought a few kilograms of seasonal vegetables and some free pork skins and pig offal. After scraping together enough for a few dishes, he stopped. Dundun went to play with Fubao, and Ping Zhengkai hurriedly stepped forward to help. .
