This rain, although not long, is better than never. Everyone thought that with the first rain, there must be a second rain.
The rainstorm came and went suddenly, the dust on the surface was washed away, and the air was filled with the smell of dust. The water in the creek was turbid, but the volume of water increased to cover the small stones that came out of the creek.
The next morning, the sun was high and the sun was shining violently on the earth. The strong sunlight quickly evaporated the moisture brought by the rainfall, and everything returned to before the rain.
During breakfast, Li’s father said to Li Chengji: “Second brother, take these bills to the supply and marketing agency to see if you can buy what you can buy.”
Li Xiaoyu looked at all kinds of tickets, a thin stack.
“Old man, how much food do you supply now?”
“I’m studying in the county hospital. I have to bring my own food rations. Your mother’s food supply is now 21 jin a month, and yours is 17 jin a month.”
Li Xiaoyu understood when he heard this, which means that there are six people who eat in his family. The one-month supply of food is only for Li’s mother and three of her brothers and sisters, totaling 72 kilograms.
Grandpa and the old man currently have no food supply. On average, they only have 12 catties of food per person per month. This is still possible when they can buy all of them.
No matter what kind of food it is, as long as you can buy it, it is already the best situation. There is also a situation where the food supply cannot be purchased in sufficient quantities, which is the biggest problem.
For example, this month’s supply of food for Li’s family is basically impossible to buy, because this month’s supply of food has been sold out. These tickets can only be taken to state-run restaurants, and you can buy food with more money and tickets.
Li Xiaoyu thought about getting these tickets as soon as possible and getting them into state-run restaurants for food. In the future, they will not be able to receive food coupons when they are traded on the black market, because they have nothing to buy.
She couldn’t stop rejoicing that she had a space that others could not imagine, otherwise, even if she was reborn, she would still be hungry.
Now, although the average person has only 12 catties of grain a month, it is much better than when he was in the Bamboo Forest. I remember that when we divided the wheat, my family only got 5 catties of wheat, and it was just the wheat with the husks. Fortunately, I left now, otherwise I would not dare to eat it even if I had something.
“Then now the eldest sister is only 17 pounds in the provincial capital, which is not enough to eat!”
Li’s father and Li’s mother also thought of this question, and couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“Then what to do, so far away?”
“Then let’s send some red glutinous rice to the eldest sister to dry, this will not attract the attention of others.”
As soon as he said it, Li Xiaoyu had eaten and went straight to the post office with Li Chengji carrying the basket. The back basket is filled with dried red glutinous rice, fried noodles, and fried soybeans. These are all cooked foods. Li Xiaoyan can eat them directly without being too outrageous.
When the post office staff opened the inspection, they saw the fried noodles in the bag, their eyes lit up, and they couldn’t stop swallowing. Li Xiaoyu was afraid that she would eat her own fried noodles, which made her nervous.
Fortunately, that person still has the quality of work, but seeing Li Xiaoyu hesitate to say anything, Li Xiaoyu’s scalp is numb, and she can’t wait to run away.
Pack the package and fill in the form, when Li Xiaoyu is ready to leave.
“Little girl, my surname is Qin and my name is Qin Hong. Shall we talk to the side?” Qin Hong whispered with a blushing face and asked her to ask a little girl for something as an adult. She really couldn’t put down her face. Come.
Li Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, she just asked Li Chengji to wait at the door.
Qin Hong took Li Xiaoyu into the packing room, closed the door and said softly, “Little girl, can you exchange the fried noodles and soybeans for me? The children are too young and they are really hungry. Can you help me?”
When Li Xiaoyu saw her talking about the child, her eyes were red. She knew that this was a child who was a mother who loved her dearly, and would not hesitate to beg a stranger for the child.
Li Xiaoyu looked at Qin Hong silently, Qin Hong looked at her with pleading eyes, seeing Li Xiaoyu’s delay in agreeing, so anxious that tears rolled down her eyes.
“Okay, can you exchange the stamp set for me?”
“There are some, I will definitely get you the best stamps. There are several stamps in my family, all of them collected by me.”
“Okay, see you at the entrance of the post office at ten o’clock in the evening.” Qin Hong only came out of the packing room after the brothers and sisters Li Xiaoyu left.
Shen Meiying, who has a good relationship with her, walked over, stood beside her, and asked in a low voice, “Xiaohong, how is it? Did the little girl agree?”
Qin Hong nodded, showing a bright smile.
“Xiaohong, take me one too, I will not talk nonsense.”
“Yingzi, it didn’t work for the first time. We can’t make people think that we are not keeping our promises. I will divide your share and let your son stutter. We have been friends for so many years. If there is something good, we will not forget you. That little girl wants to Stamps, I have them at home, you can exchange them for me with other things.”
Shen Meiying heard Qin Hong’s words, and said to her gratefully: “Xiaohong, thank you, if you hadn’t helped our mother and son these years, I don’t know what to do!”
“Yingzi, listen to my advice, find someone to remarry while you’re still young, and you will have something to rely on in the future. Think slowly, I’ll go to work.” Qin Hong patted her on the shoulder and went about her business.
Shen Meiying lowered her head and thought deeply, how easy is it to get married again, how many are sincere to other people’s children? It’s better not to marry, just guarding the children!
The Li Xiaoyu brothers and sisters, who had mailed the package, chose to walk in the shade under the eaves. In hot weather, few pedestrians were seen on the road. Even if I saw one, it was yellow-faced and thin, and even if it was in the county seat, it was still hard to see a healthy rosy complexion.
Li Xiaoyu glanced at his second brother, he was no different from others, the only difference was that he walked steadily and would not pant three times a step.
“Second brother, let’s go to the state-run restaurant.” Li Xiaoyu wanted to use the food stamp given by Li’s father. This has a time limit, and it is useless if it expires.
The current state-run restaurant is the restaurant of Chef Wu in the past. The door of the restaurant is half-open, and there are no diners.
The two brothers and sisters went in. The layout of the store was still the same as before, and there was no change. The waiter was dozing off on the counter.
A small blackboard is hanging in the window, with the words “Sold Out” written on it. Li Xiaoyu didn’t give up, it’s impossible for such a big state-run restaurant to have nothing to eat!
She knocked on the counter and asked loudly, “Big sister, do you still have anything to eat?”
The waiter who was lying on the counter didn’t lift his head, and said in a humming voice, “Didn’t you see the writing on the small blackboard? No more!”
What kind of attitude is this? It’s really awesome! Li Xiaoyu knows that the current restaurant waiters are very popular, and they all have their nostrils turned upside down, so she is right!
