Chapter 40 The Second Time Going to the Fair

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm a man."

It seems that ever since Third Auntie said that last time, Xu Zhili has been very concerned about this statement.

“Yes, yes, you are the little man of our family.

Then I will leave your elder sister, younger sister, Da Zhuang and the whole family to you!"

"No problem, just go ahead."

As he said this, he patted his chest, as if it were really the case.

Liu Yunshuang also asked Xu Zhiqing to think about what was missing at home, gather them all together, and buy them all tomorrow.

Afterwards, she decided not to go out.

Stay at home and prepare for the coming disaster.

…

This time, I still have to go out early.

There were also people going to the market on the road, all carrying large and small bags.

Let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative first. It’s early now and there’s still a lot of meat.

I bought five pounds of lard, and then a piece of fan bone, which is very big and has a lot of meat.

The daily supply of meat is limited.

So, come early, otherwise you won’t be able to grab it.

There are quite a few public officials in this town, and they are not short of money.

I still have some meat coupons in my hand, but not much.

I'll wait until the Chinese New Year and buy some more.

Life needs to be lived slowly and cannot be spent all at once.

Then, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought four pairs of shoe soles.

I bought two more pieces of velvet and went back to cut the shoe uppers myself.

This year, I will definitely make a new pair of shoes for everyone.

In addition, I bought a pickaxe and five small bowls, which were not enough for daily use.

Then I gave Da Zhuang one, which made me even more nervous.

I also bought a paring knife and a rolling pin, which makes it much more convenient.

In the future, I will probably eat potatoes and pasta often, as these two are indispensable.

I saw a bookstore next to me, so I asked for two pencils and two grid notebooks.

She herself can read and write, but these children are not in school now.

She will still have to be sent to school next year, so let her go back and learn some simple things first.

If you have a foundation, it will be easier to learn.

When I got to the seasoning store, I bought some MSG and five pounds of salt.

As for snacks, I only bought three pounds of large biscuits. The kids all like to eat them.

I haven’t eaten the canned fruits yet. I can’t bear to throw them away.

Seeing more and more people coming, she hurried out.

I went to the grain station first and bought ten kilograms of flour. There was still some flour left from the previous purchase, so I didn’t need to buy too much.

Then, there are the things in the collection.

I bought five large lids, and the two pots didn’t have lids. People in rural areas now use this as a replacement.

Just pass a rope through it and make a simple handle.

Both the water tank and the big tank in the house need to be used.

There was also a large jar in which she prepared to pickle sauerkraut.

In addition, one medium-sized and two small-sized ones are also arranged.

I also bought three extra ones, just in case I need them and don’t have to borrow them.

I also bought a grate, and I guess I will eat pasta often in the future.

Then there were vegetables. I bought a bunch of green onions and two bunches of celery.

My hands are already full, and I want to buy some eggs and cabbage.

Just when I was worrying, I really saw someone selling cabbages.

"Uncle, where are all these cabbages?"

“Yes, my girl, these are all early cabbages, I’m holding them in my heart.

One cent per pound, you can exchange it for something else, how much do you want?"

One cent per pound, not expensive, and the same price as the last time I bought it.

"Uncle, how many pounds do you have left?"

"These, I estimate, must weigh about 300 kilograms."

Three hundred kilograms, I guess even the big vat won’t be full, but they can’t eat that much either.

"Okay, I'll take all of these."

"What, you want them all?"

The old man looked surprised and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, I want them all. But you have to send them back to me. I can't carry so many things by myself."

After getting a definite answer, the old man was very happy. He didn't expect that such an unprepossessing man could be such a big customer.

"Okay, okay, no problem at all, I have a cart and can send it back to you directly.

By the way, where are you from?"

"Red Star Production Team."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Liu Yunshuang reported it without hesitation.

"That's great, I'm on my way back.

But, little comrade, you have to wait a moment. I still have so many radishes here. Can I send them to you after I sell them?"

Liu Yunshuang took a look and found that the radish was quite fresh.

There are both white radishes and green radishes, but there don’t seem to be many.

"How much is this and what's the price? If it's suitable, I'll buy it all."

"Hey, it's only one cent originally, is it okay for you to give it as you see fit?"

I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Why would I need a bicycle? "Okay, let's weigh it, and then you can send it back to me."

"Okay~"

The two of them moved very fast, almost as expected.

There were 306 kilograms of cabbage, and the price was just three yuan, minus the change.

There are 87 pounds of radishes, so let's count 80 pounds, for a total of 3.80 yuan.

Liu Yunshuang gave it directly. It’s not easy for everyone, so there’s no need to hold it back.

The old man's attitude improved a lot after he got the money.

"Little comrade, put all your things on my cart and I'll pull it back for you."

"Okay, uncle, you clean up first, I'll go buy some cucumbers.

I also need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a jar. I hadn’t thought of buying these radishes before. I wonder if there is anything left at home to pickle them.”

"Why not? Go buy some groceries first, and I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative with you later."

"Okay~"

Liu Yunshuang put the celery and green onions in her hand next to him and moved to the side.

It was the same old lady from last time. She was the only one selling vegetables of different kinds in the whole market.

The moment she saw the cowpea, her eyes widened. It seemed that she had to make some kimchi.

I bought ten kilograms of cowpeas, five kilograms of cucumbers and five kilograms of tomatoes.

He bought another thirty eggs, five cents each, from someone in their production team.

She also took the basket away and told her to come home to get it when she returned.

Because it was relatively close, she didn't go shopping there either.

Otherwise, I would not be willing to buy things in front of people I know.

The daughter-in-law had another trip to the supply and marketing cooperative and did not go back with her.

She took her things to the vegetable stall, and the old man was already prepared.

After putting the things away and the backpack on top, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a large jar and a thermos, and went home.

I gained a lot from this trip.

Apart from anything else, the quantity and weight alone are overwhelming.

"Little comrade, are you the daughter of the old Liu family?"

When they were almost at the door, the old man suddenly asked a question.

"Yes, sir, do you know my family?"

"Yes, your father is one of the few among us who can read.

I came to your house to ask for water before."
