Chapter 232 Solution (X)
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished her lunch, she looked at the time and saw that it was almost two o'clock, so she walked towards the ox cart.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the ox cart, she saw Uncle Liu sitting there at a loss, so she asked, "Shu Liu, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Hey...my second daughter-in-law got pregnant last month, which was a very happy thing, but she has been dizzy since the past few days. She went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday and the doctor said it was anemia and malnutrition.
In this era, people don’t even have enough food to eat, so why would they care about those things? The doctor said that if my second daughter-in-law’s nutrition is not enough, then it will be difficult for her to keep the baby.”
"Uncle Liu, did the doctor tell me what to eat?"
"Eggs, brown sugar water, and if you have money and connections, malted milk is the best. Don't you think we country folks have money but don't have tickets to buy those things?"
"Uncle Liu, I have a way to get you some brown sugar, but the price is more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative."
Uncle Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he whispered, "Xiaoxiao, are you telling the truth? I couldn't buy it on the black market before."
"Really? I can help you right now, but Uncle Liu, you have to wait a little longer."
"Okay, okay... As long as we can get the brown sugar, let alone wait a little longer, Uncle Liu can wait until tomorrow."
After Lu Xiaoxiao left the ox cart, she thought that she had not received two months' subsidy, so she walked towards the post office.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the post office, the same comrade still helped her with the paperwork. He also kindly gave her an envelope, saying that it would be safer to put the money in it.
After expressing their gratitude to the enthusiastic comrade, Lu Xiaoxiao walked out of the post office and headed towards the ox cart.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you come back so soon?"
"Uncle, the man wasn't busy when I went there, so I bought it quickly."
After Lu Xiaoxiao said this, she was afraid that Uncle Liu would not believe it, so she took out a pound of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper from the space under the cover of her backpack and secretly handed it to him.
Uncle Liu took the oil paper bag, opened a corner and took a look. The helpless expression on his face disappeared instantly. He carefully rewrapped the oil paper bag and put it in his pocket, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoxiao, how much is this brown sugar?"
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that the brown sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative was 1.2 yuan per pound and required a sugar ticket, while the black market price was probably around 2.5 yuan per pound without a ticket, so she decided to take a middle price.
"Uncle Liu, this is 1.8 yuan per pound, no ticket required."
"Then what you bought is really not expensive. This morning I went to the black market and asked for 2.5 yuan per pound, but they were still out of stock."
"I was lucky this time."
"No matter what, Uncle Liu thanks you. I'll ask your aunt to send the money to your house when we get back."
"good."
Although there was plenty of brown sugar in Lu Xiaoxiao's space, it wouldn't matter if she gave that pound of brown sugar to Uncle Liu, but a little kindness will always be repaid with a big one, so it's better to be clear about it.
It was already past three in the afternoon when the ox cart returned to the village. After saying goodbye to Uncle Liu, Lu Xiaoxiao headed towards home.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao took off her backpack and put it away, then went into the kitchen to wash her face, and then went out and walked towards Liu Meihua's house.
She must tell Liu Meihua and Liu Shuyu about what she had discussed with Secretary Liu in the county today, so that they can act better tomorrow.
"Sister Meihua, are you home?"
Liu Meihua, who was picking vegetables in the yard, immediately put down the vegetables after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's voice, and ran to the gate of the yard and opened it.
"Xiaoxiao, did you just come back from the county town?"
"Yes, Sister Meihua, are you free now? I have something to discuss with you and Liu Shuyu."
