"Jinfeng girl, what did the county hospital say about your injury?" Li Fuman asked.

Li Jinfeng shook her head. "Grandpa, I couldn't find a hospital in the county, but I bought this."

She shook the cloth bag in her hand. Inside was the corn she had exchanged for two eggs, and a pound of beans and half a pound of peanuts she had taken out from the space.

"What is this?" Li Fuman asked curiously. When he opened the bag, Li Fuman was stunned.

"Girl Jinfeng, this... this..."

Looking at the corn, beans and peanuts in the cloth bag, Li Fuman was so surprised that he was speechless.

Although he grows crops in the countryside, he hasn't seen beans and peanuts for many years.

Except for three mu of land reserved for each household, the rest of the production team's fields all belonged to the production team, that is, to the collective.

The fields of the production team could only be used to grow rice, wheat, cotton, rapeseed and sweet potatoes, which were crops essential to life.

The few acres of private land are not enough to grow enough vegetables for the whole family to eat all year round, so there is no luxury to grow beans or peanuts.

"Jinfeng girl, tell me, where did you buy this thing?" Li Fu's face looked a little solemn.

"In a small alley, someone asked me if I wanted it. I remembered that life was tough at home, and harvesting was hard work. I wanted to go home and have a full meal, so..."

Li Jinfeng didn't say it too bluntly, because she also wanted to see Li Fuman's attitude towards her buying and selling things at the night market.

"Girl Jinfeng, that's the night market! You...you shouldn't go there anymore. If you get caught, you'll be dead."

Li Fuman felt very distressed. What would he do if this girl went to the night market alone to trade and got caught?

"But grandpa, we can't even get enough to eat, why should we care about those things?"

Li Jinfeng looked at the Li family's rice jar this morning.

Even if you boil it in water with a few grains of rice, it will only last for three or four days at most.

But if you drink enough water, will you have the energy to work?

If you can't work, you can't accumulate work points, and you will still have to go hungry for the rest of the year.

Li Jinfeng's words left Li Fuman speechless again.

Yes, life has become like this now, although the team leader says every day that we should tighten our belts and put all our energy into work, and once the grain is harvested, we will distribute it to everyone in the production team so that everyone can have their fill.

But Li Fuman knew clearly that the harvested grain had to be handed over to the state first, and not much would actually reach individuals.

Take agricultural and sideline products for example. Each person gets one kilogram of cotton per year, and one and a half kilograms of cottonseed oil per year. As for rapeseed oil, you never see it because it is all handed over.

"Girl Jinfeng, you're right. We can't even get enough to eat, so why do we still care about this?"

Li Fuman was persuaded by Li Jinfeng that instead of starving to death, it would be better to go to the night market. Even if he could only get a handful of food, he could survive for another day.

"Girl Jinfeng, how did you buy these things if you don't have food coupons?" Li Fuman asked.

"Food coupons?" Li Jinfeng pretended to be confused.

"Yes, food coupons. You need food coupons to buy food, cloth coupons to buy cloth, and even sugar, you need sugar coupons. Without food coupons, you can't buy food. The same goes for other things. If you have money, you need coupons." Li Fuman explained patiently.

"That person took the dollar from my hand without asking me for it, saying something like he had to pay back some debt," Li Jinfeng explained.
