Yao Qiyue and Jiang Ye took advantage of the new educated youth and received this year's subsidy for educated youth.

There is now a lot of food at home.

Ji Ping just wanted to find Jiang Ye to get food and gave him a few instructions. There was nothing else to do.

…

The next morning, Yao Qiyue and Wei Hong made an appointment to go to the county town.

Yao Qiyue rode her bicycle to Wei Hong's house early in the morning.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Wei Hong now lives with the team leader Ji Ping's family.

Yao Qiyue was now familiar with the captain's house. Five minutes later, the bicycle stopped at the gate of the fenced courtyard.

"Sister Wei Hong, are you done packing?"

Wei Hong was wearing a floral shirt and black pants today, and holding a small bag in her hand.

"Here I come, here I come."

Yao Qiyue laughed and joked, "Sister Hong, are you wearing all the best clothes you've kept?"

Wei Hong adjusted her shirt with confidence: "Yes, this is really expensive. I can't bear to wear it on weekdays."

Yao Qiyue patted the back of the bicycle and said, "Today you have condescended to sit on my simple bicycle."

"Let Dazhuang buy you a BMW tomorrow."

Although Wei Hong didn't know what a BMW was, she thought Yao Qiyue was talking about a valuable horse. In short, it sounded like something better than a bicycle.

She smiled and patted Yao Qiyue on the shoulder: "Go ahead, you just tease me."

"Let's hurry up. Even with bicycles, it will take us more than an hour to get there."

Only then did Yao Qiyue miss the opportunity to tease Wei Hong.

She specially brought two aluminum lunch boxes today. Chen Qingyun said she was a little craving the taste of the braised pork from the state-owned restaurant.

Yao Qiyue felt that Chen Qingyun might be a little homesick.

Before they knew it, they had been in the countryside for three months.

Of course, Yao Qiyue would unconditionally meet this small request.

Wei Hong sat on the back of the bicycle, curious and touching the frame with her hands. She then touched the seat under Yao Qiyue's butt.

Wei Hong didn't know how many times they fell along the way, and the two of them finally arrived at the county town after stumbling over each other.

The last time Yao Qiuyue came here, she didn’t look here carefully. Now she sees that the buildings are really different from those in South City.

Wangjiang Town and Wangjiang Village have the same name. The streets here are neat and tidy, with rows of brick houses on the streets.

White slogans were painted on the red brick walls.

Wei Hong was sitting in the back seat directing Yao Qiuyue to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative is a large bungalow with a big frontage. It looks much more grand than other bungalows. There is a blackboard hanging on the wall with today's supplies written on it.

Yao Qiyue parked her bicycle and locked it, then followed Wei Hong into the house.

Wei Hong had a clear purpose and went straight to the place where cloth was sold.

Wei Hong is good at making clothes and used to be an apprentice to an old tailor in the town.

Later, private business was prohibited, so the old tailor closed his shop and went home. Wei Hong had nowhere to go, so he returned to Yanjiang Village.

The salesperson at the cloth counter of the supply and marketing cooperative was a girl in her twenties with two pigtails, wearing a blue military uniform with white sleeves.

At that moment, there were few people buying anything in the entire supply and marketing cooperative, and there was no one at the fabric counter.

When the saleswoman saw Wei Hong, she waved enthusiastically: "Sister Hong, why haven't you been to the county town for so long?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much."

Wei Hong was also very happy to see her: "Xiaoya, this is my sister Qiyue. We came here today to buy fabric."

When Xiaoya saw Yao Qiyue's appearance, her eyes lit up: "Oh, Sister Hong, your sister is so beautiful, like a fairy."

Yao Qiyue casually pulled out a handful of White Rabbit candies and handed them to Xiaoya. There were four or five of them. She had borrowed them from Xiaobao this morning. She had to buy some and return them later.

On the way, Wei Hong told her that if she established a good relationship with the cloth salesperson, she would be able to buy defective cloth without cloth coupons in the future.

Sure enough, when Xiaoya saw Yao Qiyue's generosity, she looked at Wei Hong who was looking at the fabric with a smile.

Xiaoya quickly put the candy in her pocket.

"Sister Hong, Sister Qiyue, what kind of fabric do you two want to buy today?"

Wei Hong leaned closer to the counter and said, "Xiaoya, we want to make some summer clothes for our children. You know our family situation."

"July was an educated youth sent to the countryside, but her family was so large. Before she went to the countryside, she was kind-hearted and even adopted two orphans."

Xiaoya immediately understood what Wei Hong meant. They were all old acquaintances who visited each other frequently.

She bent down and took out two batches of cotton fabrics from under the counter.

A white piece with a big red flower printed on it, and it was obvious that the pattern was not printed well, with some signs of smudges.

There is also a navy blue one, which also has flaws on it.

"These two pieces of fabric have some flaws. You can take them home and make clothes for your children. Children are growing up, so it's better for them to be comfortable than to look good."

Wei Hong reached out and touched the material of the cloth. He knew it was good material as soon as he touched it: "The pattern or color doesn't matter. How much is this?"

Xiaoya leaned closer to Wei Hong, leaned out, and whispered, "If you have a cloth coupon, cotton cloth is four cents a foot. Without a cloth coupon, it's six cents a foot."

When Wei Hong heard the price, she was shocked: "This price is too expensive."

Three feet equals one meter, so an adult would need at least two and a half meters to make clothes.

A piece of clothing costs more than four dollars. It's too expensive.

Xiaoya smiled brightly: "Sister Hong, think about it carefully. At worst, I can give you an extra foot. How about that?"

Yao Qiyue patted Wei Hong's shoulder and said, "Sister Xiaoya, let's do this. I'll take both pieces of cloth. I just want to buy some good quality fabric. I have a younger sister who is fifteen years old and she's in the prime of her life."

Wei Hong glared at Yao Qiyue, wondering why this kid agreed without bargaining.

Xiaoya felt a liking for Yao Qiyue because she was so generous and happy.

Everyone who comes to her to buy fabric calculates the price over and over again.

It's rare to have such a large customer as Yao Qiyue, so Xiaoya said, "Okay, then I'll sell you these two pieces of cloth for 50 cents a foot."

"Take a look at the rest of these and see which fabric you like. If you don't have enough coupons, I'll give you some."

Xiaoya works in a supply and marketing cooperative and has very good benefits.

She worked in the fabric department and usually bought some defective fabrics that didn't require coupons, but she managed to save up quite a few fabric coupons.

When Yao Qiyue heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly expressed her willingness to change.

In the end, Yao Qiuyue exchanged almost all the cloth coupons in Xiaoya's hands, and then bought some nice fabrics before stopping.

Wei Hong and the salesperson Xiaoya were extremely shocked by Yao Qiyue's amazing purchasing power.

However……

It turns out that fabric counters are just the beginning.

Yao Qiuyue's purchasing power only shows the tip of the iceberg.

Afterwards, Yao Qiuyue started walking around the counters.
