After leaving the house, Su Xia headed straight for the treasure trove she had visited before – Black Island.

"Six cents!" came the impatient voice.

Su Xia paused, "Not even 50 cents?" she whispered, as if to say, "Is this some kind of opportunistic tactic?"

"The price goes up again for the New Year!" After saying that, he started looking shifty again, as if he was happy to do this job, keeping his eyes glued to the work all day so he couldn't close them at night.

Su Xia.....

I had no choice but to take another penny. Six cents it is, I'll just consider it a lucky number.

Su Xia was shocked once again when she went inside; there were more people here than in the department store.

Following my memory, I headed towards the place where I bought eggs last time.

After walking for a while, I saw a place with the most people. I went closer and saw that everyone was saying, "Just passing by, come and take a look. There are huge eggs laid out... each one incredibly fresh."

Su Xia paused, admiring the man's eloquence. If this were in later generations, he would definitely be a candied hawthorn vendor.

"Hey... is the older sister here?"

Su Xia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, really wanting to slap the person opposite her across the face.

How many eggs are there?

The older brother grinned upon hearing this, "There are still 20 here." Then he whispered, "There are 30 more at home!"

Su Xia nodded, "I want them all. Pack these twenty up for me, and I'll come back in an hour!"

My older brother was already excitedly rubbing his hands. It was a hot day, and although eggs were in short supply, everyone was probably strapped for cash and didn't dare buy too many. My older sister was really kind...

Su Xia....

"Okay, that's settled. You stay here, I'll wait for you in the alley outside. Otherwise, you'll have to pay another 60 cents if you come back in!"

Su Xia thought about it and said, "Okay!"

After buying the eggs, Su Xia went to buy two more baskets, as these are always useful.

Then we went to the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store. At this time, it was crowded. We also said that Chen Jianguo would go with us tomorrow.

But when Su Xia arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she wanted to back out, as there were quite a few people there.

"Don't push, do you hear me!" A familiar voice rang out, and Su Xia looked over, and sure enough, it was Si Ya.

Struggling to squeeze in, she asked, "Xiaoxue, what are you doing here?"

When Siya heard the familiar voice, she looked over and exclaimed with delight, "Auntie!"

"Yeah, aren't you in the back?" Su Xia nodded, while other people squeezed in to buy things.

Siya rushed out, pulled Su Xia aside, and said, "There are a lot of people lately, the manager asked us to come out and help!"

"There are definitely a lot of people!" Su Xia glanced at the counter that was surrounded and sighed.

Si Ya Zan 땢, secretly glad that she had studied accounting, because selling goods is really too hard on the voice.

"Auntie, why are you back?"

"I'm back to buy New Year's goods and visit your uncle while I'm at it!"

Siya glanced at Su Xia and said, "Auntie, it's nothing. I just miss Uncle!"

Su Xia rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to anyone.

Si Ya's eyes darted around, and she pulled Su Xia along, heading straight to the back. Su Xia was also puzzled, but it was her first time entering the back of the supply and marketing cooperative.

There's a courtyard, somewhat like a traditional courtyard house. The front courtyard is for selling goods, and the back courtyard seems to be a warehouse and also has an office area.

"Siya, isn't this inappropriate?"

Siya shook her head. "It's alright, we all have employee benefits. We happen to have a batch of defective products today, Auntie, please take a look!"

Su Xia's eyes lit up like a light bulb. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever heard of defective products in all the time she had been here.

As the old saying goes, "Having connections in the imperial court makes things easier!"

"Brother Li, this is my aunt's, let's see what's here?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Li stopped scolding and took out the list, saying, "It's all here, take a look!"

Siya took it and handed it directly to Su Xia. Su Xia was a little embarrassed, but her excitement overwhelmed her.

The order form first listed the fabric, then labeled it as defective, noting uneven coloring, some rips, and holes.

thermos, kettle, ceramic jar, ceramic basin, towel, toothbrush...

Su Xia wanted to buy some everyday items. Soon she would need a piece of cloth, a thermos, an enamel basin, a ceramic or steel basin... anything with a label that she thought was useful, she wanted to buy...

Four-Tailed Girl...

Brother Li...Are Aunt Chen Xiazhi's aunt going to open a supply and marketing cooperative?

"Thank you so much, Mr. Su!" Su Xia said, and immediately handed over three eggs.

Brother Li's eyes widened, "This...this..."

Su Xia ignored it and stuffed it in, then gave Siya five more, saying, "Take them back to nourish your body!"

Siya was shocked, then whispered, "Auntie, what is this...?"

Su Xia shushed him, "Don't worry, I'll buy it from outside!" Then she looked at Brother Li.

Brother Li coughed lightly, withdrew his ear, and turned around to pack his things.

Siya was relieved and happily put it into her bag.

"Aunt, how is things at home?"

"That's great! Your grandma is so happy this year that she took out some money for me to come and buy New Year's goods!" Su Xia said, unable to suppress a smile.

*Pfft...*

Siya laughed too, remembering that her grandmother was practically a miser.

"Auntie, you have no idea, last time Zhi-ge came back from eating the pork stew at home, he kept saying how delicious your cooking was. My mother-in-law got so annoyed by it that she went straight up to him and hit him yesterday..."

Pfft....

After Si Ya finished speaking, she started laughing. Su Xia couldn't help but twitch her lips. Li Ge, who was sitting next to her, listened to the gossip while packing things, wishing things would go even slower.

"Siya, does your man always eat so much?" Su Xia asked curiously.

"It seems that, according to my mother-in-law, she used to think that he was deliberately stealing food, but later they started rationing it. Then, when he was in junior high school, he fainted and only then did she realize he had been starving all along..."

*Pfft...*

Su Xia.....

Turns out there was a poor child!

Finally, thanks to Si Ya's help, Su Xia bought all the kitchenware and daily necessities that the family was missing.

Salt, soy sauce, vinegar, matches, toilet paper, tissue paper... soap, laundry detergent, toothbrush, toothpaste...

Couplets, paper decorations, New Year pictures, firecrackers... and sparklers too, Su Xia bought a lot of those as well....

Brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, pastries, cookies, White Rabbit candies, fruit candies, canned apples, oranges...

Glutinous rice strips, shortbread, fruit leather....

Siya knew that her aunt didn't check the money when buying things, so she just put them in the counter. Except for the two packages that her aunt had specified, she bought three or more packages of everything else...

Salesperson...

When they saw Siya packing brown sugar, they went up to her and said, "Xiaoxue, save some for yourself!"

Siya was stunned for a moment, then looked into the box, where there was only a thin layer left, and then looked at the people outside.

"It's okay, just tell them there will be more tomorrow, we didn't sell any today!"

The sales clerk's lips twitched. "So many questions, 'No 깊?'"

However, Su Xia came at a good time, at four o'clock in the afternoon, which is almost time to get off work.

Siya didn't interfere and just packed everything up. Half an hour later, with the help of 땢事놅, she issued the invoice...

"Auntie, there are a total of 5 business coupons, 2 kerosene coupons, 2 jin of grain coupons, 1 cloth coupon, 2 jin of cotton, 2 sugar coupons, and 32.86 yuan."

Su Xia took the money and tickets directly from her pocket and handed them over. Si Ya then handed them to the person next to her.

땢Things....

Siya directly packed Su Xia into the basket, and Su Xia helped as well. These are all useful. We can go to the department store tomorrow to replenish them.
