Chapter 10 Shopping

Yang Jun knew that his wife was honest. If she told her that she didn't ask, then she definitely didn't ask.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, and after a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Li Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. She had no other good reason and could only bring out her kind-hearted classmates.

There was really nothing she could do to help her family without exposing her space. There was no other way, so she had to bite the bullet.

After entering the space, Li Siyu rummaged around in the warehouse, taking out pen and paper to record the location of things in the space, so as not to find what he needed again.

I've been recording things a while ago, and there are a few warehouses I haven't looked at yet, so I don't know what's in them.

Li Siyu had tidied up a warehouse, and it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.

Only then did I remember that I had not sorted out the money I earned from selling grain, so I excitedly took out my satchel and sat on the ground to count it.

The pile of money was quite big, but there were so many dime bills that it took her hands to touch them, but there were only a few big ones.

After counting, my jaw almost dropped. There were more than three hundred yuan, as well as a bunch of food stamps and other tickets.

Li Siyu carefully looked at the tickets one by one, and found that the one that was about to expire would expire in two months at the earliest, and there were quite a lot of them.

This is worrying. There are few things in the town and some are not supplied. Isn’t this a waste?

It seems that the sooner we can get to the county seat, the better!

Early the next morning, Li Siyu got up with two black eyes, helped Li Sinong make breakfast, and followed them out after eating.

The old lady of the Yang family does not work, only Uncle Yang does. I heard that he will retire in two years.

At that time, the two young people will be working to support the family, but Uncle Yang also has a pension, so the young couple will not be under much pressure.

"Siyu, what else do you have to do? Why are you going out again?" Li Sinong knew that she came to town just to pick up things. She had already taken them, so why did she come out again? In the past, when the little girl came over, she would stay at home.

Without going out, I took my things home after waiting enough.

"I've never been here before. It's not good to come out to get some fresh air. It's not good to stay indoors all the time." Li Siyu also wanted to see what supplies the supply and marketing cooperative has and spend the tickets as soon as possible.

Li Sinong nodded, "Then you go back early, and I will bring you food when you get home from get off work in the evening."

"No, no, no, I don't want to eat anything, so don't bring it to me." Li Siyu knew that every time the second sister of the original owner bought her meat and vegetables from the factory, it had become a habit.

Not to mention that food is hard to buy now and money is tight. What's more, now that we live and eat in other people's homes for free, how can we still ask for good food and drink?

Li Sinong looked at her in confusion, "Don't you love braised pork the most? Why don't you eat it?"

"I've become a little fat recently and I don't want to eat." Li Siyu's body shape is plump in this era. The original owner's wife gave her all the delicious food in the house. If she is not fat, who is fat?

Others are sallow and thin, but when she stands outside, others look at her twice.

Fair and clean, with a plump face, not thin at all. Just looking at it makes people envious. After all, in this era, having enough food is happiness!

After seeing Li Sinong off, she looked back at her brother-in-law who had not left yet.

"Brother-in-law, aren't you going to work?"

Seeing him like that meant he had something to say, but Li Siyu didn't ask first.

Yang Jun was a little embarrassed, but he still said bravely: "Sister-in-law, can you help me get some food? I can pay for it."

Li Siyu didn't expect him to say this, so after thinking about it, he nodded.

She also knew that food was tight and she had nowhere to buy it even if she had money. Li Sinong's two sons had not had enough to eat for several days.

"Brother-in-law, you need as much food as you want."

Yang Jun was a little surprised. He was really not sure whether Li Siyu would agree to it.

After calculating the money at home, he tried to ask: "Two hundred catties of corn flour, two hundred catties of white flour?"

Of course Li Siyu has a lot of food, but he can't agree immediately.

"What's the price?"

When Yang Jun heard that there was something going on, he immediately smiled and said: "It's higher than the black market! Corn flour costs eight cents, white flour costs $1.50."

The price is indeed very high, but there shouldn’t be many food stamps left, right?

Sure enough, Yang Jun scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I can only give you fifty kilograms of food stamps, but the price is high enough, so I think it's okay."

Li Siyu nodded, "Bao rice noodles are eighty-five cents, and the rest is as you say."

There is not much coarse food in her space, and the food stamps he gives are not many, let alone earning money from relatives.

These things are enough for them to eat for a while, not to mention that she did it in the name of her classmates. It was so cheap that others would be suspicious.

Yang Jun also thought that coarse grains were in short supply and it was normal for them to cost five cents, so he agreed directly. "Okay, I will pay you when I come back tomorrow. You go and bring a letter to your classmate first, and I will go to the county seat."

"Okay brother-in-law!" Li Siyu knew that he was going to the county to help her implement her work.

After sending the people away, Li Siyu went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After looking at the items on the shelf, she took out all the tickets that were available.

"Hello, comrade, I am buying things for the village. Can you help me get all these things?"

Why do you say that? People are generally poor nowadays. If you don't say that, then people must think that you bought it yourself. With so many votes, they think you are speculating.

The saleswoman glanced at Li Siyu, stopped knitting sweaters, stood up, and took them to her one by one.

"Two bars of soap, two boxes of cigarettes, a bottle of canned peaches, and two towels."

The saleswoman put things on the counter and took them again and again.

"Three toothbrushes, two bottles of liquor. What size do you want the remaining rubber shoes to be?" She looked up at Li Siyu opposite.

Li Siyu thought for a while and realized that the old lady seemed to have feet of size thirty-six.

"I want size 36!"

She doesn't like rubber shoes, but the old lady wears a pair of mended cloth shoes every year in the country, so it would be more appropriate to buy them for her.

It's not just the old lady who wears it, everyone comes here like this, but Li Siyu knows that only the old lady and her second sister are good to her at home, so forget about the others.

The saleswoman rummaged through the shelves and laid out everything for her.

"The total is six dollars and eighty cents."

It was really cheap. Li Siyu paid the money quickly and put the things in his backpack.

"Thank you, comrade."

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Siyu was not in a hurry to go back, but actually started shopping.

Walking to the door of a state-owned restaurant, the tempting aroma of food wafted from inside, and Li Siyu could hardly stop drooling.

After touching the money in her pocket, she walked in.

There were only four long tables inside, and he was sitting alone in the corner waiting for his meal. Li Siyu glanced at a small blackboard next to the window.

It says what dishes are served today, as well as the staple food.
