Suddenly, the man followed quietly and asked in a low voice: "Do you want any coal?"
Su Hexian successfully bought 50 kilograms of coal from the man, and also bought the 50 kilograms of coal on her family's certificate. After buying the coal, she left it at the door of the coal station and said she would find someone to pick it up. People at that time were simple and honest. They said they had something to sell, and they kept an eye on each other, so no one would take it!
Buying coal is different from buying grain. Grain has grain coupons, while coal is just a certificate, and is also distributed according to population.
She looked at the Star Mall and saw that there was actually coal available for purchase! Yes, it was considered an industrial product. Now she had no worries. She could cheat when the time came.
She found a farmer selling vegetables and saw that he had a flatbed cart, so she offered him fifty cents to help her pull some coal and deliver it to the tractor at the entrance of the grain administration office.
This job required no effort at all, just a little strength. The man agreed and asked an acquaintance nearby to look after the stall. He then followed Su He to the coal station.
The man helped move the coal onto the flatbed truck and happened to meet someone who was transferring coal. Su He received another 30 kilograms.
The man waited for a while and then brought a total of 130 kilograms of coal to the grain management office.
The two places are not far apart, just the distance from one intersection to another.
Liu Aihua looked at Su He with a flatbed cart and asked, "Teacher Su, how many kilograms of coal have you collected?"
Su He handed the man fifty cents and replied, "I met two people who were selling it, and they collected a little over ten pounds in total!"
Liu Aihua: "Then let's go together this time. The tractor can also accommodate it!"
Someone nearby complained that the coal in Soho was dirty because it was next to the food.
Xiao Liu was very perceptive and took out a piece of rainproof cloth. "Don't worry, everyone, we have this! We have to bring this with us when we go out to buy food, don't worry."
Su He was grateful: "I have the most stuff, so I won't take the tractor later to make room for everyone."
"Xiao Su, no need. There are only a few of us here! It would take you more than half an hour to walk there by yourself!"
"No, I'll just take it as exercise! The doctor told me to exercise more!"
She said goodbye to everyone and went to the tailor to get her mother-in-law's velvet pants. After getting the pants, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some dried goods, such as red dates, wolfberries, dried fungus, and dried mushrooms. She also bought three to five pounds. These are all dried. After soaking, one pound can be eaten for a long time.
After she found the things she bought in a deserted place, she put them in the traditional warehouse.
After buying these, she went home.
When she walked outside the base and saw that there was no one around, she took out two pairs of big-toed shoes, a large piece of sheepskin, and black corduroy cloth from the traditional warehouse, put them into a snakeskin bag, and carried it on her shoulders.
Su He sighed: This image is quite down-to-earth!
When she got home, Teacher Wu told her that Xiao Liu had already helped deliver the food and coal to her home. She even weighed them and they were exactly the same!
Su He: "Mom, do you know how to use a scale? I don't even know how to use that pole scale!"
Teacher Wu: "The 50-jin packages don't need to be weighed, but the two loose packages left over should be weighed. The scale is easy to identify, just look for the number of flowers on it!"
Su He: "The coal is 1.3 kg, is that enough?"
Teacher Wu: "There's enough coal. Xiao Liu said he didn't know who told him that. He used to help people collect food, but some of the food was under-weighed. He was afraid he couldn't explain it clearly, so he took a scale from the cafeteria and went to each household to weigh it. There was too much coal, so he used the scale to weigh it!"
Su He took out only the velvet pants from the snakeskin bag and gave them to her mother-in-law, and then took the two snakeskin bags into the room.
She thought about taking the contents out later so she could cheat.
Ermao: "Mom, what else did you buy? Don't you want to show it to us?"
Su He: "Let's wait and see in the afternoon. Let's send Dad's rations to the cafeteria first, otherwise Dad will starve in there!"
She asked her mother-in-law to weigh out Jin Weiguo's rations so that she could send them to the canteen. Otherwise, she was worried that her husband would not have enough to eat with only the food subsidized by the unit.
Da Mao and Er Mao followed her, and the three of them borrowed a bicycle from their neighbor and pushed it to the canteen.
Halfway through, the Lin siblings saw Su He running towards them.
Lin Aihua: "Teacher Su, I want to see you!"
Su He asked Da Mao and Er Mao to take their sister home and wait there, and she would go to the cafeteria and then go home.
