"Okay, okay!" Yuanyuan nodded perfunctorily.
After obtaining consent from the elders at home, Tuantuan took Yuanyuan to buy food.
Meimei thought it was too cold outside and didn't want to go out.
Not to mention Xiao Manman, who was only the size of a bean and wore a thick cotton-padded jacket. When she went out, she looked like a small potato, which was very inconvenient, so she was also kept at home by the Lu family.
There is a supply and marketing cooperative not too far from Mr. Lu’s house.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan arrived in less than ten minutes' walk.
Yuanyuan slapped a dollar on the counter and said, "Buy some candy."
The candy-man at the supply and marketing cooperative was an older man. He looked at the two children, who were not much taller than the counter but were surprisingly good-looking, and said in a good-natured manner, "Do you have any tickets?"
At this time, even if it’s just candy, you need candy tickets.
If you come across high-end candy, you may need a high-end candy ticket. You cannot buy candy without a ticket.
"Ticket? What ticket?" Yuanyuan blinked.
"You need sugar coupons to buy candy, and grain coupons to buy snacks. You can't buy food without coupons." The member explained good-temperedly.
He guessed that the two children in front of him might have received money from adults but no tickets, and thought that they could buy food with money alone.
Tuan Tuan looked very happy and said, "Brother, we don't have any tickets, let's go back! We don't need tickets to pay tuition."
"I won't!" Yuanyuan pouted, looking reluctant.
He doesn't want to pay tuition.
He doesn't want to study.
"Why don't you go to the grocery store up ahead? Ask them if they have any cream cakes. They don't require a ticket, but they're expensive!"
Yuanyuan rolled her big round eyes and looked at Tuantuan pitifully: "Brother, let's go buy some cream cake!"
Tuan Tuan met his brother's pitiful eyes and had no way of refusing. He could only nod and say, "Okay!"
It seems that the money for studying cannot be saved from this one dollar.
Fortunately, there will be New Year’s money during the Chinese New Year.
The two brothers held hands and went to the grocery store. They bought a cream cake for one yuan. Yuanyuan carried the cake and Tuantuan held his hand.
When she went back, Yuanyuan almost walked away without recognizing anyone.
Yuanyuan said, "Brother, hurry up, the dumplings must be ready, let's go back and eat."
When talking about dumplings, Yuanyuan's mind comes up with dumplings with thin skin, rich fillings and lots of meat, and her mouth is watering.
It was very cold outside and Tuantuan missed home.
Two people were walking through an alley when they were blocked by someone.
There were five boys in total, wearing patched old clothes, blocking Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. Each of them had a fierce look on their face, and the boy in the lead was holding a wooden stick in his hand.
Tuantuan felt something was wrong and wanted to take his brother back the same way, but at this moment, there was a man holding a wooden stick on the road behind them.
Now, they had no way out.
One of the kids holding a wooden stick shouted at Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, "Hand over what you have!"
Yuanyuan: "Brother, what do they do?"
Tuan Tuan: "They are stealing our things."
Tuantuan said this while protecting Yuanyuan behind him.
In this day and age, not everyone can have enough food and clothing.
Even in big cities, there are some people who are unregistered, or who have families but are extremely poor.
The five children who were stopping Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were them.
They had no money and no way to get their monthly food supply, so they specifically targeted children who were alone.
Work in one place and then change places.
After a while, he returned to the place where he had done bad things before.
