Chapter 55: The problem is not the scarcity but the inequality (2/2)



As they were talking, the cart had already stopped at the door of the girls' dormitory.

Yun Qiao heard Qi Chunhui's gentle voice: "Little brother, just park the cart at the dormitory door and we'll carry it in ourselves."

Then, wooden boxes were carried into the room one by one, and finally filled the entire aisle.

"1234567... You only had five people there, how come you bought seven boxes?" Wang Ru touched the polished wooden boxes and asked, "Did you buy all the boxes from the carpenter's house?"

"Yes." Zheng Wenjing smiled and said, "If the carpenter only had these seven boxes, I would have bought two more."

Qi Chunhui explained helplessly, "The four of us only bought one box each, and the remaining three are Wen Jing's own."

Chen Cuizhi smacked her lips. "Wenjing, how much stuff do you have to put in all these boxes? Can you use them all?"

"How can you not use it all? One for bedding, one for clothes, and the other for miscellaneous items. Isn't it fully arranged?"

"I still don't have a place to put my shoes. I'll have to go back later and buy a shoe cabinet."

Zheng Wenjing sat down in the box and just as she raised her feet, she saw the thermos that Yun Qiao had placed on the corner of the kang.

Her eyes lit up: "Whose new kettle is this?"

Wang Ru was quick to respond, "It's Yun Qiao's. She just bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yun Qiao nodded and said, "It's mine."

Zheng Wenjing seemed to have forgotten the conflict she had with her last night and asked her happily, "Ye Yunqiao, how much did you buy this thermos?"

"Seven dollars and fifty cents, plus an industrial coupon." Wang Ru interrupted, "Cuizhi and I just asked Yunqiao about that. We also want to buy a thermos, but unfortunately we don't have an industrial coupon."

"I have!" Zheng Wenjing was even happier after hearing this: "Before I came here, my mother exchanged them for national industrial coupons for me."

"Really? Your mom is so thoughtful. My family and mine didn't even think of exchanging the coupons."

Chen Cuizhi stepped forward and took Zheng Wenjing's arm, and asked her eagerly, "Wenjing, how many industrial vouchers do you have? Can you lend us one?"

"That's not right." Zheng Wenjing immediately refused: "I only have three coupons in total. I have to buy other things after buying the thermos."

Chen Cuizhi was visibly disappointed: "Forget it then."

Zheng Wenjing ignored her and said directly: "You guys chat, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the thermos first."

She turned and walked out, and Qi Chunhui suddenly called her.

"Wenjing, wait for me."

Zheng Wenjing had no choice but to stop and look back at her: "What are you doing?"

Qi Chunhui ignored Zheng Wenjing's emotional tone, casually took her hand, and said with a smile: "I want to buy a thermos too, let's go together."

Zheng Wenjing turned her head and glanced at her: "Do you have national industrial vouchers?"

Qi Chunhui's eyes flickered slightly, but the smile on his lips remained unchanged. "Yes, there are several. My mother works at the Commercial Bureau, and she also exchanged them for national industrial coupons for me and my brother in advance and let me keep them."

"Is this true?" Zheng Wenjing murmured. "National industrial coupons are so hard to exchange. My mom used all her connections and used up three times the local industrial coupons to barely scrape together three national coupons. Isn't your mom just a temporary worker? How could she have such a thing?"

Qi Chunhui looked a little embarrassed and reluctantly explained, "She works in the Commerce Bureau. It's easier to connect with people there than outside."
