Xiaomei looked at the scenery along the way, while Lin Qingqing slept all the way.
When Lin Qingqing was in the bathroom, Xiaomei woke her up. She looked at her watch and it was exactly 10 o'clock.
Look at Xiaomei again, she is so excited. The street is not that big, and there are cars coming and going on the road. Pedestrians wearing clean T-shirts walk side by side in twos and threes. People riding bicycles have smiles on their faces, and strangers on the street also greet them enthusiastically.
All of this makes Xiaomei curious and yearning.
There were no muddy dirt roads here, and her shoes wouldn't get dirty even if she walked on the cement road for a whole day. She had never seen such clean and spacious streets, which were much wider than the roads in their county.
"Comrade Zhao, let's go to the state-owned grain store first, then to the supply and marketing cooperative and the grocery store."
After entering the village, Lin Qingqing showed Zhao Lihai the way.
They had to go to three places: the supply and marketing cooperative, the grocery store, and the grain and oil store.
The army gave them two hundred yuan, which was a considerable amount, enough to fill up their car.
Prepare the rations first.
"Hey." Zhao Lihai turned the steering wheel and headed straight for the state-owned grain store.
Everyone at the door of the grain store was either carrying or lifting large sacks containing freshly purchased grain.
The two got out of the car. Xiaomei looked left and right, taking in everything. Lin Qingqing pulled her arm and led them into the grain store.
It was filled with grains, including bulk corn grits, rice, and wheat like small mountains, as well as bags of flour, rice, and cornmeal.
Xiaomei handed the food coupons to the salesperson. These were the coupons that were about to expire and were in Song Yiyuan's iron box.
The salesperson took the ticket, checked it, and began to calculate the price: "Two kilograms of Grade A rice is thirty-eight yuan, three bags of flour are twenty-five and a half yuan, and five bags of corn flour are thirty yuan."
This is enough to last for half a year.
Xiaomei opened the bundle, took out her small wallet, counted out nine big unity notes, then took out three yuan and a five-yuan note and handed them to the salesperson.
Lin Qingqing gave all the family tickets to Xiaomei and also gave her two yuan, which was enough for one month's household expenses.
The saleswoman looked at Xiaomei, a little girl, and took out more than ninety yuan without blinking or breathing heavily. She looked at Xiaomei twice more, and the gloomy expression on her face softened a little.
"Auntie, can you help us move the car to the door? The car is right outside."
Lin Qingqing asked, people of this generation are very enthusiastic and generally won't refuse to help. She had bought food in Shaanxi before and asked the salesperson to help carry it into the car.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Xiao Niu, Xiao Wang, help this woman carry the food to the door."
The two tall men responded and each carried two bags of food and went to the door.
Xiaomei hurriedly walked in front to lead the way. Zhao Lihai was sitting in the car waiting at the door. When he saw Xiaomei coming out, he quickly opened the door and got out.
"Comrade Zhao, we bought some food, and the people at the state-owned store carried it out for us. Please open the car door."
She quickly said to Zhao Lihai who had just gotten out of the car, she didn't know how to open the car door herself.
Zhao Lihai quickly opened the door of the rear compartment.
When the two salesmen saw that it was a military vehicle, they walked over quickly, carried all the food to the back of the vehicle twice, and carefully put a sack under it.
Lin Qingqing took out two candies and gave one to each of them, smiling and saying, "Thank you."
The two salesmen took the candies, smiled, waved their hands and left the store.
Zhao Lihai closed the car door, sat in the driver's seat again, and drove to the second stop.
