"Sister, hey... you don't know, there is a real food shortage in the city. Everyone has a limited ration, and every family has several children who can't even get enough to eat. In previous years, we could buy this little bit, but in the past two years, there has been a famine and we can't sell it."

My brother is helpless too, everything in the city is better, but he has money and tickets, but unfortunately he can’t buy them!

Looking at this girl secretly, she is tall and slender. Although her face is covered, she is not bad looking. She is a common-looking girl, and her demeanor is no worse than those in the city.

"Brother, then it's a deal. Can you help me deliver the coal to the alley across from the post office? I'll have someone take it away when the time comes."

"What do you think the price is? I only have this little rice and noodles." Su Xia saw that he had wasted too much time and became a little anxious.

"Okay, sister, I'll move it to you personally later. White rice and flour are 40 cents a pound on the market now, and 30 cents with the invoice. So, sister, I'll charge you 40 cents a pound. I'll give you 10 cents a pound for 100 pounds of coal briquettes without the invoice. Do you think that's ok?" The elder brother thought about it and gave him the market price. He was considering the price, and this was not his first order.

Hearing that it was the same as he expected, Su Xia did not bargain, "Okay, let's take this price, then I'll give you 25 kilograms of rice and noodles, brother, I'll ask my dad to get the noodles now, and then I'll wait for you in the alley."

"Okay...I'll send it to you in a minute."

After Su Xia finished speaking, she went to wait in the alley opposite the post office. Seeing that there was no one around, she used her consciousness to fill the space with 25 kilograms of flour. After thinking for a while, she took a small cloth bag and filled it with 2 kilograms of millet to see if her brother would exchange it or not, and to do her a favor.

Here, the eldest brother packed up his things and hurried home.

"Wife...Wife, please find me a bag."

"What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Good news. I'm telling you, your deal is done. Our family won't be short of food for the next two months."

The eldest brother took the bag and went to the warehouse to load the coal briquettes.

The eldest brother's wife looked at her man in disbelief, raised her hand and touched her husband's forehead. He didn't have a fever, so why was he talking nonsense?

"What? Don't delay my work." The eldest brother pushed his wife.

"Why are you loading coal? We don't burn coal at home." The wife looked at her husband in confusion. He had a fit today and usually wouldn't pick up chopsticks when they fell.

"Why change food?"

"Is this true or false? Don't fool me."

"Why would I lie to you? This girl is short of coal, so I'm exchanging food for it." The eldest brother didn't want to pay any attention to this woman. Didn't he see that he was busy?

"Really? Oh my God, that's great." The eldest brother's wife was sure that this was true, so she stepped forward to help put it on.

"Boss, where do you think this person gets his food? You said this girl is quite young.

"Why are you curious? Just stop asking and listen. Besides, no matter how poorly they have food in the countryside, they still have more than us."

After hearing this, the eldest brother's wife also thought it made sense. She was happy to think that they would have food soon...

"Don't tell anyone about this. Our family isn't the only one that has coal briquettes, you know? If I find out that you're talking nonsense, I'll beat you up." The eldest brother reminded his wife as he watched her get excited.

The eldest brother's wife rolled her eyes. This man always made a lot of noise without any results. "Got it? Am I that kind of person? The good things should be at home."

Su Xia was getting a little impatient waiting, and saw her elder brother coming over with a bag.

"Brother, you are so slow, my children are waiting at home."

Hearing the complaints, the eldest brother was not embarrassed and said, "Oh, sister, no one has this 100 kilograms at a time, so I went to a few more stores to get it for you.

"Okay, take a look at this noodle," Su Xia was too lazy to refute him, just knowing it in her heart was enough.

The brother opened the bag and saw the delicate flour with a golden luster. This is the noodles. It’s really worth it.

놋Seeing a small bag next to it, "Girl, what is this?"

"Xiaomi, do you want to change it? If you do, just give it to me."

Brother...excited...

This is one pound for my family, my wife's parents and their families. My father-in-law's family is working. Think about the benefits it will bring to you?

"Big sister, I won't say anything. You are here. From now on, if you need anything, just come to me. I know a lot of people here, big and small, and I will definitely do it for you beautifully."

When Su Xia heard this, she thought it was a good idea. She just wanted to exchange some money with her big brother, but she didn't expect that this big brother had some background. She thought about how she bought the bicycle watch just because he said so...

I just want to say that there is always a shortage of people who are good at scheming!

Su Xia looked at the milk powder tickets, toilet paper tickets, and industrial tickets in her hand, all of which were scarce. As I said this, I put it into the space. Time has changed. After putting it in the space, I like the feeling of stockpiling more and more.

I saw that no one brought the food that had been packed earlier from home.

Another two pounds of meat were brought in, with more fat and less lean meat.

I covered it with a rag and took a closer look. There was nothing wrong and no one was around.

Su Xia ran to the other side and found Chen's father and the others. "Dad, don't ask first, let's go get the food."

Father Chen didn't ask, and the two of them followed Su Xia into the alley in a hurry.

Su Xia saw that the things were still there, and she was still afraid that someone would see them. It seemed that she would have to find a safe place next time.

Su Xia took off the cloth and said, "Dad, put it away first and try not to let anyone see it."

Chen's father, Chen Jiandang, and Chen Jianjun were too busy looking at the large cloth bags to be happy. The grown men quickly filled them and covered them with rags and clothes they brought from home.

I hurried to the county town, and when I was halfway there, I felt relieved.

I was so excited that my back was wet.

"Big sister, have you bought it too?" Father Chen looked at his eldest daughter-in-law. This person is good at scheming. No wonder his eldest brother wanted to marry her home.

Chen Jianguo...did I say this was a beautiful misunderstanding!

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for this moment. If you need me in the future, just tell me." Chen Jiandang really wanted to thank his sister-in-law. His daughter was half a year younger than Niuniu, and was skinny and small. Adults could tolerate her, but children could not.

Chen Jianjun didn't say anything. They were all family and lived next to each other. Since his elder brother was away, he had to take care of his elder sister-in-law.

"Okay, sister-in-law will remember what you said, and I will come to you directly for work in the future." Su Xia was not polite.

Several people went home happily.

It was lunch time when they arrived at the village and there were not many people around, so it was convenient for them to go home.

Father Chen and his friends went to Su Xia's house first to help her put her things away before going back.

On this side, Chen's mother saw that it was almost noon and several people had not returned. She was worried that she could not make it, so she played with her granddaughter in the living room, looking listless.

At this time, there was a sound of a door opening. Niuniu ran to the door and saw "Grandma, it's mom, and grandpa and the others."

Mother Chen opened the door before she finished listening. She saw several people carrying baskets on their backs, laughing and talking. Then she became excited. This must be a success.

"Mom, come back. Niuniu didn't see you this morning and was so anxious that she didn't even eat." Niuniu ran over and hugged her mother's legs and started to act coquettishly.

Father Chen, who was standing by, listened to the situation and Mother Chen's face was filled with worry, thinking about how she had watched her granddaughter eat two eggs, half a pancake and half a bowl of vegetables... Is this called not being able to eat?

"Can't eat? What about your stomach? You can't even see your calves now." Su Xiarou would not indulge him.

He asked Chen's father and others to put the food in the kitchen first, and throw the coal briquettes in the woodshed in the backyard.

The adults were so happy to see Niu Niu looking at her legs.

After cleaning up Chen's father, they hurried back to get their own food.

Su Xia took the meat to the kitchen and cut a piece of meat weighing more than one pound. She gave it to Chen's mother and said, "Mom, take this back and add some dishes. I won't keep you for dinner."

Mother Chen didn't say anything polite and went back happily with the meat.

Su Xia was left to clean up the rest by herself.

Niuniu had a simple lunch and then took a nap because she got up too early in the morning.
