Chapter 34 Leaving (Part 2)
After leaving the post office, Wang Gang took her to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked her to buy what she needed. He then left to help buy a pot and a small stove.
Lu Xiaoxiao took a look at the things in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she found that compared with Beijing, there were really too few things here, and many things were missing.
Lu Xiaoxiao saw that the subsidy she received today included twelve industrial tickets, twelve feet of cloth tickets, two kilograms of pastry tickets, half a kilogram of sugar tickets, eight taels of meat tickets, two taels of oil tickets, and thirty kilograms of grain tickets. Since the tickets were issued by the unit where the original owner's parents worked, they can be used throughout the country.
Lu Xiaoxiao had used up all the tickets she had exchanged in Beijing except for the national grain and meat tickets, so she only had subsidy tickets today. She used all the industrial tickets to buy a lunch box, two rice bowls, two plates, a soup bowl and two spoons, and then used the pastry tickets to buy two pounds of glutinous rice cakes and the sugar tickets to buy half a pound of fruit candy.
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished shopping, she saw that salt, matches, and candles did not require coupons, so she bought some. As for the oil, she didn't have the bottle with her, so she couldn't buy it. As for the food, she saw that they were all sweet potatoes, potatoes, cornmeal, etc., so she didn't buy any of them, intending to save the food coupons to eat at a state-owned restaurant.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the pile of things at her feet, sighed, and stood there waiting for Wang Gang to come back. Fortunately, after a while she saw Wang Gang walking towards her with two bags in one hand and a backpack in the other.
When Wang Gang saw the pile of things on the ground, he walked forward without saying a word, put all the things into the backpack and then picked it up in his hand.
Why didn't Wang Gang carry the backpack on his back? That was because the backpack was very small and he bought it for Lu Xiaoxiao.
When they arrived at the ox cart, Wang Gang put all the things on the cart, said hello to Uncle Liu, and secretly handed him a pack of Hezuo brand cigarettes. He then asked him to help Lu Xiaoxiao deliver the things to her home when he returned to the village, and to help her install the iron pot on the stove. After hearing what Wang Gang said, Uncle Liu nodded repeatedly in agreement, but he returned the cigarettes to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang did not take the cigarette that Uncle Liu handed over. He said to Uncle Liu, "I'm sorry for sending me to the county today. I'll give you this cigarette as a gift from my juniors. Please accept it."
At this point, Uncle Liu had no choice but to accept the cigarette. He thought that at worst he could just take better care of Xiaoxiao in the future. Uncle Liu's idea was exactly what Wang Gang wanted.
After explaining everything, Wang Gang planned to take a bus back to the city, otherwise he would not have time to take Liu Xiaofeng to go through the employment procedures.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Wang Gang was about to leave, she quickly took out a bag from her small bag and handed it to him, saying it was a gift for her sister.
When Wang Gang heard that it was a gift for his daughter, he thought that it might contain some toys for the little girl, so he took it.
In fact, inside were a red silk scarf and two pairs of cloth headbands that Lu Xiaoxiao put in yesterday, as well as the fifty yuan she put in just now. Although she didn't know how much the pot and stove cost, they would definitely not be cheap if she bought them on the black market.
The scarves and hairbands were prepared for Wang Gang's wife and daughter. Although Wang Gang did not mind the trouble and kept helping her, his wife might mind. It was always good to give a gift, just in case.
After saying goodbye to her, Wang Gang took Liu Xiaofeng and Liu's second brother to take the bus to the city.
Lu Xiaoxiao used her mind to check the clock in the villa and found that it was already past eleven o'clock. No wonder she felt a little hungry.
Seeing Uncle Liu like this, Lu Xiaoxiao decided not to eat lunch. But she had to eat if Uncle Liu didn't want to, as she was still growing.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said to Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, I'm hungry and want to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy something to eat. Can you please look after my food for me?"
Uncle Liu also thought that it was almost time for dinner, and it was not surprising that children would get hungry easily, so he said, "Go ahead, be careful on the way, and come back quickly after buying things, and don't run around everywhere."
After hearing what Liu Shude said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll be back as soon as I buy food."
There will be updates in the afternoon. Thank you for your votes yesterday.
