Chapter 65 The original supporting role
(If the connection between this chapter and the previous one is not smooth, it is because the order of publication of the next chapter is wrong. You can adjust it by reading the next chapter first, and then this chapter. The editor has been contacted for adjustment.) Although they are city people with good conditions, it does not mean that they can spend money lavishly like this.
After all, food and drink are the most important things, and other things can only be considered when conditions permit.
Looking at the beautiful silk stocking that her classmate bought, other classmates were all envious.
But the silk scarf that Song Anan gave her this time looked better than hers, and it was probably more expensive.
Although Wang Xiaomei was tempted by these valuable and beautiful things, she was too embarrassed to accept them.
Looking at the silk scarf handed over by Song An'an, Wang Xiaomei said, "Sister, it's just a small favor, why did you give me such an expensive thing? I can't accept it, you can take it back."
Song Anan stuffed it to Wang Xiaomei and said, "Comrade Xiaomei, I have troubled you a lot these few times and asked you for a lot of help.
I prepared this especially for you. If you don’t accept it, I won’t be able to ask you for help again in the future.”
Seeing that Song Anan gave the gift sincerely and considering what was said, Wang Xiaomei accepted the gift.
Having gotten such a great benefit from Song Anan, I must be more dedicated to helping others.
Wang Xiaomei said, "I will ask you about the job quota as soon as possible and help you find it."
"Okay, you help me ask around these few days, and I'll come to the city again in a few days."
Wang Xiaomei responded, "Okay, when you come, just come find me."
A few days should be enough for her to find a suitable buyer.
After all, there is a shortage of jobs in the city at this time.
Those who are of age and unemployed will have to go to the countryside unless their families help buy them a job.
It was fine in the early years when everyone didn’t know what it was like to go to the countryside to support rural construction, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.
Now that we know that going to the countryside means suffering and working in the fields like the rural people, no one wants to go back to the countryside anymore.
Especially those parents who love their children very much would rather spend more money to buy jobs for their children than watch their children suffer in the countryside.
After Song Anan told Wang Xiaomei about this, they planned to go back home.
Before returning home, Song Anan first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities.
Then I bought three cans of malted milk, some peach cakes, and White Rabbit milk candies.
Finally, I went to the grocery store again to buy some cheap spare ribs and tofu.
In comparison, it is more cost-effective to buy ribs here directly than to buy them on the phone.
Although you need a ticket for pork ribs, you don't need a ticket at this time and the price is not expensive.
But everyone thinks it’s not meat and it costs money, so it’s not cost-effective.
When Song An'an was chopping, there were a few ribs with little meat on them, a few pig offal, and half a pig's head on the chopping board.
These are the things that are left over because others don’t value them. Otherwise, they would have been sold out by now when Song Anan came.
In the city, even if you have a meat ticket, you still have to line up at the grocery store early in the morning to buy meat.
It's almost eleven o'clock and the meat has been sold out long ago.
"Comrade, how much are the spare ribs, pork head and pig offal?"
After Song Anan asked, the butcher said, "Pork ribs are 50 cents, no ticket required, pork head is 70 cents, no ticket required, and if you want pork offal, just give me 30 cents a piece."
Song Anan looked at the weight of the pig offal and estimated that it weighed about six or seven pounds. At a calculation, she could buy two pounds for one cent.
Song Anan thought it was quite a good deal.
As for the ribs and pork head, their prices were not high, and Song Anan felt it was a good deal to buy them and eat them later.
The main thing is that this thing is not ostentatious. Even if you buy it and eat it, others won't be too jealous.
If she eats meat all day long, she might be targeted and accused of being a hedonist.
Song Anan said, "Okay, comrade, give me two pounds of spare ribs, and give me half of the pig's head, and the offal as well."
