The village chief was upset, but he had no idea what to do. "Even if I tell the villagers about this disaster, they may not believe me! So what should I do?"
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. The village chief may report your speculation to the commune and to the villagers. As for what they will do in the end, that is not your responsibility."
Yang Bin gave a suggestion, then took his things and said goodbye, "Village Chief, I have finished my business, so I will leave first."
"Okay." The village chief nodded and responded, then paced back and forth in the room for a while. After a long time, he made up his mind to go out to the team and discuss with someone.
The village chief looked at the village, which was peaceful and quiet at the moment, with people coming and going on the main roads and small paths. His heart was trembling with fear for what might happen.
On the village main road, Song Ruan was riding a bicycle towards the town.
The framework of her new house, including the foundation, walls and roof, has been completed. The next step is to work on the interior of the house, and then after a few days of drying, the furniture can be moved in.
Song Ruan went to town today to buy things for her new home, and the black market was open, so she planned to go and take a look.
She only had 200 yuan in her hand, and she gave the rest of the money to Yang Bin, asking him to stock up on food.
Because it would be more convenient and less conspicuous for him to stockpile food through the black market.
She only needed to be responsible for storing the food he had stored into the space.
Come to town.
Song Ruan rode her bike and hired a temporary worker to help her carry things because she had to buy cotton and cloth today, which would be quite heavy.
Her family hasn't made a new quilt for several years. The old quilt at home has become deflated and a little hard after being used for a long time.
Her mother planned to find a cotton fluffer to refurbish the quilt. However, due to wear and tear and the addition of a new family member, if they were to be divided equally, they would have to make six quilts, which would have to be thinner and could only be used in spring and autumn.
So, this time she planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cotton to make a new quilt.
When she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, she found that there was an acquaintance among the clerks on duty today, Wei Changzheng.
Wei Changzheng saw her coming and took the initiative to greet her: "Song Ruan? What are you buying?"
Wei Changzheng would not be so narcissistic as to think that Song Ruan came to see him, but as someone he knew, he should also greet her generously.
"I want to buy 24 kilograms of cotton."
Song Ruan nodded to him and greeted him, then went straight to the point.
This heroic look surprised Wei Changzheng so much that he opened his mouth half open.
"You want to buy so much cotton??"
No wonder Wei Changzheng made a fuss, everything is now supplied as planned.
The government would only give each person half a pound of cotton coupons every six months, but she bought 24 pounds this time, which was really shocking.
"Well, don't worry, I have cotton coupons." Song Ruan nodded, took out two rolled cotton coupons and handed them to Wei Changzheng, "Count them and see if they are enough."
These 24 kilograms of cotton coupons were something her family had managed to scrape together with great difficulty.
Her family of six saved for three and a half years and only managed to save 21 kilograms of cotton coupons.
Then he borrowed 3 kilograms of cotton coupons from his neighbors, and finally he had 24 kilograms, which was just enough to make 6 new quilts.
This is to ensure that everyone has a new quilt when moving into a new home.
"Why are you buying so much cotton at once?" Wei Changzheng couldn't help asking.
"My family is building a new house, and I'm going to make a new quilt for everyone."
Song Ruan finished speaking and then asked, "I also want to buy a quilt cover for a quilt. How many cloth coupons do I need?"
She didn't know whether the cloth coupons she brought were enough, but all the cloth coupons her family had saved and the ones she borrowed were given to her.
Over the years, her family has been quite frugal with cloth coupons. Apart from some spent on her eldest sister-in-law's wedding and some used to buy cloth for her clothes, her mother saved all the rest.
"If you want to make a quilt cover, it's best to buy this kind of pure cotton jacquard fabric, which will be more comfortable to cover yourself with."
Wei Changzheng took her to the cloth area and showed her the cloth. "To make a pair of pillowcases with this kind of cloth, you need one foot of cloth coupons, and to make a quilt, you need 15 feet of cloth coupons."
When Song Ruan heard this, she couldn't help but frown.
