But these days, it's so rare to buy meat without ration coupons, she didn't have the time or inclination to report it.
Instead of wasting time on that, I'd rather buy some meat to nourish my husband and children.
Seeing how much weight she had gained, Sister Suqin was overjoyed.
"Oh my, so much! Then give me twenty catties of pork and ten catties of venison."

They had a few dozen kilograms of wild boar meat left, so they took it to the machinery factory.
"Lin Yu! Lin Yu!" Lin Yu was looking for potential customers in the residential compound when she heard someone calling her.
Lin Yu turned her head and saw a young woman holding a child's hand.
She looked somewhat familiar. Lin Yu wondered, where did she meet her again?
