When Lu Zhiye arrived at Aunt Wang's house carrying cotton, Aunt Wang had already started operating the sewing machine according to his measurements.
Hearing the noise at the door, he pulled open the curtain and came out.
“I’m back.”
Lu Zhiye took off the backpack and took out the cotton inside.
"Before, it was a hundred feet of cloth, which could probably make ten sets of clothes. Two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers would be enough, and the rest could be used for outerwear."
Aunt Wang smiled cheerfully: "Okay, our factory will be closed for the next few days, my daughter-in-law and I will hurry up and get you out."
Lu Zhiye nodded, and then said uncomfortably: "I'll have to trouble you to help make some cotton socks."
Mr. Lu was still a little embarrassed about such private things.
"No problem. It's almost noon, you can stay and have lunch before leaving."
Lu Zhiye smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm in a hurry to go back to work."
These days, a meal can save a life.
Every household is short of food.
Lu Zhiye still has some sense of propriety.
After Lu Zhiye left, Aunt Wang was reluctant to cut off some meat.
Xiao Cui was very puzzled: "Mom, why are you cutting meat?"
Aunt Wang glared at her and said, "Isn't it you who caused this?
Look at those young wives you brought with you. They look like thieves.
There are more than one family living in the yard, so we should just shut them up.
If anything happens again, I won’t have anywhere to cry.”
In fact, what Aunt Wang said was too serious. The people in this yard were either workers from their factory or workers from her husband's factory.
They are often seen together, and they are quietly heading to the black market. Everyone knows it, so it will be better for everyone if they don't expose it in public.
But with so many people coming to their house today, it's hard to guarantee that some will be jealous.
Xiao Cui was so speechless after what Aunt Wang said.
Aunt Wang sighed, after all, she was young.
She walked out holding two small pieces of meat.
I couldn't stop feeling the pain in my heart. Two taels of meat were enough to stir-fry a dish.
But Xiao Cui still has her good points. She negotiated with the young wives for 1.2 yuan per pound.
I did earn enough money to buy a pound of meat.
Aunt Wang first placed a piece of meat on the windowsill and pushed away the people from the left household.
"Oh, auntie, you are alone at home today."
An old lady in her sixties nodded with a smile.
When he saw the meat in Aunt Wang's hand, he was even more delighted.
He got off the bed nimbly.
Aunt Wang curled her lips secretly, but she did have a smile on her face. She took her aunt's hand and said, "Just now, my daughter-in-law intercepted a young man who was delivering something to a relative's house.
Oh, you don’t know, after the people in the mountains kill a wild boar, they are reluctant to eat it and insist on sending it to their relatives.
I used some defective cloth from my home to replace it for him. Here, I'll give you some to try. What does this wild boar meat taste like? "
The aunt took the wild boar meat and smiled so much that all the wrinkles on her face were wrinkled.
"That's great. If my nephew gives me some mountain products, I'll give you some to try."
In fact, both of them knew what was going on.
Didn’t her son also go to the black market to buy meat?
But if the meat is delivered to your door, don’t miss it.
Aunt Wang went out, picked up the meat on the windowsill, and walked to another house.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhiye went to a state-owned restaurant to eat some noodles and packed some meat buns and dumplings.
Keep it for yourself to eat on a daily basis.
The meat buns in state-owned restaurants are in limited supply.
If you go too late, it will be gone.
When it was Lu Zhiye's turn, there were only five left.
There was no one in line behind him.
Lu Zhiye wanted them all.
While the elder sister was packing the buns, Lu Zhiye noticed that there were dozens more in the steamer at the back.
I guess it was saved for the afternoon. Or maybe it was saved for someone.
He thought for a moment and quietly took out some dried meat from the space.
Using the steamer as a cover, he looked at his elder sister with a smile.
"Sister, I want to buy some more meat buns, can you please give me some advice?"
The older sister was a little impatient at first, but out of the corner of her eye she saw several pieces of dried meat as long as fingers.
She quickly looked around, and while no one was paying attention, she grabbed the dried meat on the table and pulled Lu Zhiye to the corner of the kitchen.
She looked at Lu Zhiye with a smile on her face: "Just call me Sister Ma. How many meat buns do you want?"
Sister Ma said this as she stuffed some dried meat into her mouth.
Since her father is the chef in the kitchen, she has nothing to worry about.
Lu Zhiye looked at her greedy look and her big and thick figure.
I sigh that this elder sister has such a good life.
In this age when people can’t even get enough to eat, it’s not easy to eat well and be fat.
Lu Zhiye pointed at the steamer and said, "I want all the rest. Is that okay with you?"
Sister Ma looked embarrassed, and Lu Zhiye stuffed another handful of fruit candies into her hands.
"I'll load it for you and bring your backpack, but you have to prepare the money and tickets."
Lu Zhiye naturally agreed.
The two reached a cooperation when Sister Ma handed the backpack containing meat buns to Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye spoke slowly: "Sister Ma, next time I come to the county town, I'll say hello to you in advance. Can you save some meat buns for me in private? Don't worry, I'll give you plenty of money and tickets."
Sister Ma looked at Lu Zhiye's handsome appearance, who was so good at speaking and being a good person, and coughed lightly: "Then give me a greeting before you come."
Lu Zhiye said softly: "I will bring you some dried meat next time I come."
Sister Ma was even happier and patted Lu Zhiye's butt.
Lu Zhiye: ………
