Chapter 100 Black, Blue and Gray
Su Ruanruan wanted to see how much meat was left in the butcher shop, but in order to avoid people thinking that she was trying to cut in line, she just looked from a distance and did not get close.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of meat.
Su Ruanruan was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the reason.
There are many people queuing, but not everyone buys a lot.
One or two pounds is a lot, and many people only want three or five ounces of meat.
There is no way. The meat coupons are limited and I cannot buy more even if I want to.
Granny Chen also saw Su Ruanruan and waved to her with a smile, "Go find a cool place to wait."
Su Ruanruan just smiled when she heard this, but didn't move.
There is no cool place! There is not even a tree nearby! Granny Chen soon realized this and did not say anything else.
The Third Production Brigade was not far from the town, but it was impossible for either Grandma Chen or Su Ruanruan to come here to buy meat every day.
So when it was Grandma Chen's turn, she generously bought three pounds of meat.
Grandma Chen can get five kilograms of meat coupons every month. The reason why she didn’t buy all of it was because she thought that there was still a long month and she might need it at some point.
Even if I don’t really need it, I can come and buy meat at the end of the month.
After buying the meat, I queued up to buy oil and tofu.
After buying everything, Su Ruanruan and Grandma Chen’s backpacks were already filled to the brim.
Looking at the time, the supply and marketing cooperative should have opened, so Grandma Chen took Su Ruanruan to the cooperative.
On the way, Su Ruanruan leaned close to Grandma Chen's ear and said with a smile, "It's really not easy to be a city dweller."
It’s not easy to queue up for anything you want to buy, right?
It’s okay for other things, but even vegetables require queuing.
Thinking about the vegetables grown in her backyard, Su Ruanruan's face was full of smiles, "We are still the best!"
Hearing this, Granny Chen couldn't help laughing, "Ruanruan is different from others. Others are trying their best to go to the city to be workers, to be city dwellers, and to eat rationed food, but you think the production team is the best."
Su Ruanruan still smiled, "Of course!"
Others may not know, but she knows it clearly.
In a dozen years or so, poultry and livestock will be allowed to be raised freely, and the college entrance examination will be resumed.
Good days are yet to come, so she is certainly not in a hurry to become a worker.
Of course, I can’t say this to Grandma Chen.
While they were talking, they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. There weren't many people in the cooperative.
Granny Chen used the various tickets in her hand to buy white sugar, brown sugar, soap, toothpaste, and laundry detergent, and then took Su Ruanruan to the cloth counter.
Compared with the department store in the county, the cloth counter in the supply and marketing cooperative is really pitifully small. There is only one shelf at the back, and the items on it can be seen at a glance.
There are only three colors of fabric on the shelf, black, blue and gray.
There is no other way. The supply and marketing cooperative is too small to display too many things, so we can only display these mainstream colors.
After taking a look, Grandma Chen didn't want to buy it anymore.
These colors all look old-fashioned and don't suit Su Ruan Ruan at all.
Su Ruanruan was very happy, pointing at the blue material and said, "Grandma, we want blue, just the right color to make you a set of clothes."
"I'm already old, why should I wear new clothes?"
Granny Chen refused without even thinking, "Why don't we go to the county department store? There must be more colors of materials there."
Su Ruanruan shook her head. "No, just buy this blue one."
