Chapter 62 The trouble of not having a ticket
He Mingcheng got up the next morning, bought breakfast for Chen Yi, and then set off for the car factory with his documents.
There is no time to not report now, I have to go quickly.
Make money to support your wife and then raise your children.
When Chen Yi got up, she didn't see anyone, only breakfast on the table.
He Mingcheng told her yesterday that he was going to work, so she knew it without even thinking about it.
She got up, washed up, and ate breakfast.
After packing up everything, Chen Yi went out with her bag on her back.
She is going to buy some things today, otherwise there won’t be enough things at home.
You can't just keep buying food, right? You have to cook for yourself.
After taking the bus to the department store in the city center, Chen Yi first took a look around.
I have to say this place is much better than the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune. There are all kinds of things with great variety.
Chen Yi took a fancy to an enamel basin and asked the price, only to find out that it was 1.2 yuan and she also wanted two industrial tickets.
Where does she get those things?
Before coming, she sorted out the tickets that He Mingcheng gave her, and there was no industrial ticket among them.
Other things also require tickets, so you can’t buy anything.
She has limited tickets.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi bought some things and went home.
Since He Mingcheng is not at home, no one will know if she buys anything for the house.
After searching through the space, Chen Yi indeed found a lot of useful things.
For example, an enamel basin is among a large pile of goods.
She remembered that she seemed to have collected them from a wholesale agricultural market, which contained quite a few vegetable seeds.
This has to be taken out and put away, and then the empty space will continue to be used to grow vegetables.
Otherwise, buying food would also require money, and she felt that this was no different from living in the city in later generations.
In the city, you have to pay for everything, even a scallion costs money.
Looking at the extra things at home, Chen Yi went to cook with satisfaction.
When He Mingcheng came home from get off work in the evening, he saw the rich dishes on the table and a smile appeared on his face.
"Wife, why are you cooking? I thought you didn't buy the cookware, so I brought back some food." He raised his hand to indicate the lunch box in his hand.
Chen Yi smiled and replied, "I met a black market vendor today and bought a lot of things I needed. The prices are a little bit higher, but no tickets are required."
This was an excuse she had thought of long ago, because they didn't have that many tickets, so it was normal that they couldn't buy anything.
When he heard that it was bought on the black market, He Mingcheng said seriously: "Wife, don't go to the black market in the future, okay? There are all kinds of people there. What if you get cheated!"
He was worried because his wife was so beautiful, cute and kind. It wouldn't matter if she was cheated of her money by bad guys, but she would be doomed if she cheated people.
Chen Yi was shocked when she saw how nervous he was.
Although she did not go to the black market, seeing He Mingcheng's nervous look, she knew that it was not a good place.
After thinking about it, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I won't go there anymore, don't worry."
No matter what, He Mingcheng was worried about her.
Chen Yi is not an ungrateful person. Since her family is rich, she will not take risks.
Once he was targeted by bad guys and got into trouble, He Mingcheng would still be worried.
Now that I am not alone anymore, I need to consider my family.
He Mingcheng was still not reassured after hearing her agreement, but there were some things that he couldn't just say. After giving her instructions, he had to consider not letting these things happen.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Wife, it's not that I don't want you to go, but it's very dangerous there."
"If you need to buy something in the future and don't have a ticket, just tell me and I'll buy it for you. I'm a grown man and I'm definitely safer than you, understand?"
In fact, it is inevitable that some things cannot be bought, especially when they need too many things.
Hearing this, Chen Yi nodded obediently, thinking that it would be better to let He Mingcheng go.
"Oh well."
The two of them had dinner first. Today He Mingcheng went to the unit to familiarize himself with the situation.
It has been the same in recent days. When the time comes for the car to go out, he will follow the car twice so that he can be familiar with the route.
There are fixed drivers for each route, so you don't have to worry about not being familiar with it.
After Chen Yi learned about the situation, she felt complicated.
The burden of supporting the family fell on He Mingcheng alone, and she felt very guilty.
But there is nothing she can do about it because she has no job now.
Thinking of this, she didn't tell He Mingcheng.
Chen Yi knew that it was difficult to find a job. If it were easy, the original owner would not have gone to the countryside.
If I tell this to He Mingcheng now, who hasn't yet secured a stable job, it would undoubtedly add to his burden.
She thought about it and decided to figure out a way herself in the future. Work is neither difficult nor easy.
In the next few days, Chen Yi cleaned up the house while He Mingcheng worked at the car factory.
In fact, just like before, she still has to go out now.
If you want to find a job, you can't stay at home all the time.
The neighbors nearby basically never go out, and even if we meet each other when we go out, we won’t talk.
Later she found out that these were all the aftereffects of those years, and no one dared to trust others easily.
They are all afraid of any trouble, which would ruin the whole family.
Chen Yi walked around for several days and became familiar with some places.
For example, the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives, vegetable and grain stations, and non-staple food stores, all of these places were explored.
The vegetable market now sells cabbage, radishes and potatoes, and the price of vegetables is very low, only a few cents per pound.
Chen Yi bought some vegetables to put at home, but there was actually no room for the green leafy vegetables in the space.
Even the kitchen in the house has it, and there is basically no place to put it.
The underground warehouse is full of supplies and there is no place to put them.
With the space freed up, she remodeled the kitchen, leaving room for a cupboard and putting the rest of the stuff in order.
Because there was a rat hole nearby, she kept all the food in the house.
It is easy to get sick if you eat something that mice have eaten.
After Chen Yi put all her things away, she went out.
Today she is going to the city center, which is more than ten minutes by bus from here, and sometimes it takes more than twenty minutes if she goes slowly.
Arriving at the destination, Chen Yi looked at the building in front of him with some surprise.
Three- or five-story buildings are very common. Does this count as truly entering the city?
Looking at the department store on the street, Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, then walked in to take a look.
She couldn't buy anything because she didn't have a ticket, so she hesitated.
But there's nothing to be afraid of. There are so many people inside, who would require you to make a purchase as soon as you enter?
There are indeed a lot of people inside. It is considered working hours now, but there are still many people shopping.
Most of the people who buy things are women, and a small number of men also shop.
There are a wide variety of small commodities on the first floor. Although they are rustic, they are very varied.
Thank you all so much for your comments, thank you!
