Qiao Qingqing put a large backpack on the ground, covered it with a piece of cloth, and asked them to come forward one by one.
Every time someone approached, Qiao Qingqing would lower her voice and ask, "What tickets do you have? What do you want to exchange for?"
"I have ten industrial vouchers and want to exchange them for money or eggs."
Qiao Qingqing took a look and saw the Haishi Industrial Vouchers.
She lowered her head and said, "One industrial voucher costs four cents, or two eggs. Will you exchange it?"
The other party immediately smiled happily: "Switch, switch, switch! I want twenty eggs!"
An egg on the black market was 3.5 cents each, while an industrial voucher was worth less than three cents. With the price offered by Qiao Qingqing, the other party would make a profit regardless of whether they wanted money or eggs.
Seeing that this person’s return on investment is so high, the people behind him can’t wait.
Qiao Qingqing waited for a long time before she met a seller with a slightly higher value.
"I have two brown sugar coupons for one pound. I want money or cloth coupons."
Qiao Qingqing made an offer: "I don't have any cloth coupons, but I can offer 20 cents a piece. Can you exchange it?"
"Change!"
After taking two twenty-cent bills, the young girl left happily.
Her parents at home only had her younger brother in their hearts and were reluctant to use all the cloth coupons on her. Now that she had become a regular employee of the factory, she was awarded the title of advanced employee and two brown sugar coupons as a reward because of her hard work and high efficiency. The first thing she wanted to do was to exchange these two coupons for cloth coupons and make herself a piece of clothing.
Anyway, if I keep the ticket in my hand, my parents will take it away once they find out, and the brown sugar I buy will only go to my younger brother.
It's okay to get two dimes now. I can hide the money. If my parents push me too hard, I can use the money to exchange clothes with my co-workers. Xiaoli has been saying for a long time that she has a lot of clothes and wants to exchange some money to spend...
Everyone who comes here for business has their own story, just like Qiao Qingqing, who takes this risk in order to give her family a better life.
Although there were quite a few people who came, in the end Qiao Qingqing only exchanged five national food coupons and three national cloth coupons.
The face value of food coupons and cloth coupons is not much, and this little amount cannot support the lives of the three members of the Lu family. Qiao Qingqing plans to continue taking risks.
She also spread the news to these people, saying that if they still needed an exchange, they could meet at the same time and place in three days.
…
With the local cloth coupons and brown sugar coupons she had just obtained, Qiao Qingqing went to the supply and marketing department in the afternoon to cut cloth and buy brown sugar.
The cloth in the house was used up, but the Lu family still hadn't found clothes to wear in the north for the winter.
When she returned to the village in the evening, Qiao Qingqing first looked for Feng Xiumei and asked her to help her pick cotton.
The purchased old cotton has to be re-stretched to restore its warmth-keeping properties. The last time Yao Xiaoman prepared cotton clothes and quilts for her family, they did the same thing.
The next day, when the sun was shining brightly, Aunt Xiumei went to the yard with familiarity and brought the cotton-fluffing tools. Qiao Qingqing brought the old cotton-padded clothes and quilts she had purchased, carefully unpacked them, and carried all the cotton onto the stove.
He fluffed the cotton over and over again until it was very fluffy, and then he put it away.
"Qiao Zhiqing, even though your parents-in-law are leaving, you don't have to be too sad. You still have three children to raise. You must not fall down. If you have any difficulties at home in the future, just come to me. I will not refuse to help you in any way I can."
Feng Xiumei said sincerely while reeling in the line.
Qiao Qingqing smiled, "I know Aunt Xiumei, I don't want to think too much now, I will prepare everything I can before they leave. But, I may need to trouble the captain to give me a letter of introduction. I want to go with them, and I will come back after I settle them there."
Feng Xiumei was shocked when she heard this: "You want to do that too? What about your three children?"
Qiao Qingqing was silent for a moment, then said, "I would like to ask Xiaoman Lanfang and the others to help take care of me for a month."
"Sister Qiao, do you really have to follow me? The child is still young, and I'm afraid he can't leave his mother." Zhang Miaomiao, who was sitting under the eaves playing with her son Zhuangzhuang, could not sit still after hearing this, and stood up and said.
Qiao Qingqing smiled bitterly but didn't explain further.
How could she tell them that the Lu family’s current situation was like having an axe hanging around their necks that could fall at any time?
If Qiao Qingqing didn't do it, the Lu family would probably suffer losses.
However, Qiao Qingqing was really worried about her own child.
She has only proposed the first plan at the moment. If everyone disagrees, she will propose the second plan.
However, before Qiao Qingqing could propose a second plan, the Lu family learned the news from Feng Xiumei.
Mr. Lu, Lu Zhenfeng, and Shi Meijun all reacted in unison, and they all firmly rejected her and Beidi's plan.
The Lu family treated Qiao Qingqing very well. Since Qiao Qingqing integrated into this family, this was the first time that she was unable to convince the Lu family.
After saying this, the three elders started crying, some had red eyes, and some choked with sobs.
Qiao Qingqing felt uncomfortable watching this.
Finally, she lowered her head and said softly, "I have few relatives, and I am destined to never receive the love of my grandparents or the care of my siblings. No matter how good I am to them, I will only end up being abandoned and betrayed. There are so many meanings in life, but no one taught me what the meaning of my life was until we became a family... I have waited for two lifetimes to finally get my family, and I will never lose any of them again."
After she finished speaking, Qiao Qingqing turned around, went into the room, and locked the door directly.
She had to continue sewing cotton-padded clothes. The temperature in the north was dozens of degrees below zero in winter, so she had to wear thick cotton-padded clothes and trousers. She did not have much time to argue or debate with her family.
Qiao Qingqing would never change her mind once she made up her mind; this was her nature. Moreover, she said this in advance only to pave the way for the second plan, which was all expected.
However, listening to the suppressed crying outside the door, she still felt a little depressed.
Damn He Yong...
Damn He Lili...
Damn it...Ke 㫧!
Except for the Shi family, Zhou Hongjun's family, and the Qiao family who became confused later, Qiao Qingqing had never thought of harming anyone before, but now she said that she had a strong desire to kill these three people.
It’s a pity that these three people are different from the previous enemies. She can’t kill them just because she wants to.
If she had taken revenge in the past, she had planned it step by step for the sake of reputation and to preserve herself.
So from now on, the reason why she kept her troops in place and advanced step by step was that she had no choice but to do so.
She had no choice.
Because the enemy is very strong.
Once you are careless and get caught with some evidence, there will be no recovery.
Because of this...Qiao Qingqing's statement that she would personally escort Lu Jiaqi to the north was actually just a cover.
She had this thought, but quickly suppressed it.
Two years ago, the reason why Qiao Qingqing was able to go south with the Lu family openly was because the place where she went to the countryside was Hongsheng Brigade, and they were "on the way".
But now, if she sends the demobilized personnel to the demobilization location without a very legitimate reason, it will become a handle against her!
Qiao Qingqing currently has two "jobs", one is as a technical consultant for the army, and the other is as a director of the town's Youth League Office.
No matter which job she is in, she is not allowed to have "deviant thoughts".
If Qiao Qingqing really did this, her enemies could use this to attack her and make her lose both jobs.
If the enemy were more capable, they could even use this as an excuse to label her a reactionary and parade her through the streets for criticism!
Even though Qiao Qingqing was not living on two allowances, once she fell into the trap set by the enemy and bore a bad reputation, everything she did in the future would be ten times more difficult than it is now!
Qiao Qingqing further boldly speculated that if He Lili had already colluded with He Yong, then after she got into trouble, she would be the head of the town's educated youth office.
After all, the reason why He Lili has such a bad reputation nowadays is because of the "opposition" to her.
In this world, when two parties are fighting, as long as one side falls, the other side can step on the enemy to rise to the top.
She had won before, so it was He Lili who was scolded and looked down upon.
But as long as she makes a more serious mistake now, then everyone will automatically classify He Lili as a "good person" or "an innocent person who has been wrongly accused"...
Thinking of this, Qiao Qingqing sneered in her heart.
