In this era, food is the most important thing. Money is secondary. Didn't you see that as soon as wages are paid, everyone rushes to grocery stores and grain stores to grab supplies, hoping to buy enough food for a whole month?
Supplies were scarce; often there was money but no goods, leaving people anxious and helpless. Even if you were hungry, you couldn't just eat your money and coupons—they wouldn't fill your stomach!
Every time she gets paid, Yu Yin will symbolically buy some things, mostly groceries, and a little grain, choosing items that aren't available in her space. To avoid being exposed, Yu Yin is extremely careful, afraid of being dissected.
Lu Shurui didn't pay much attention to these things. He saw Yu Yin going back and forth between the grocery store and the grain store, buying little each time, but she kept going. The family never ran out of food, and they had plenty of other food as well.
Yu Yin was glad that the grain in the space had to be ground by herself, and its appearance was no different from that of the grain station's grain. Sometimes it was even not as clean as the grain station's grain.
Yu Yin even wanted to keep a donkey in her space so it could pull the millstone for her.

It's just not easy to mail; you have to use bamboo tubes. Although you can't fit much in them, they're well-sealed, so they don't leak halfway through the journey.
Yu Yin heard that someone in A Xiang Village had brought back some winter tea. She planned to exchange some for some, keep some for herself, and send some to her brother-in-law, grandfather, and father to try.
Things are valued for their rarity, and winter tea is still quite precious here.
Yu Yin mentally reviewed what she needed to do tomorrow, then went to catch An'an. She could hear the chicks chirping in the chicken coop, so she was sure she was going to catch chickens again.
"An'an, Mommy is here."
As Yu Yin spoke, she walked over. An An heard her mother's voice and ran over, trying to cover up the truth.
The night ended amidst the chaos and noise, and soon everyone drifted off to sleep. What would they dream about?
