For the following period of time, she continued to go between home and the commune.
At the same time, he was also waiting for the movement of his second brother and Wang Yumeng.
But a week passed and there was no movement from my second brother and Wang Yumeng.
She asked Lu Qiaoqing and learned that her second brother was just like before, finishing his own work every day and then going to help Wang Yumeng.
The two of them also talk and laugh every day.
Everyone in the village said that the two of them were dating, but Wang Yumeng never admitted it directly. Whenever anyone asked, she said that they were just revolutionary comrades who helped each other and that the friendship between them was pure revolutionary.
Since the second brother was not in a hurry and Wang Yumeng had not caused any trouble for the time being, Shen Chuning did not want to worry so much.
Put it aside for now and wait for the opportunity to come.
In the blink of an eye, it's the rest day again.
The vegetables in Shen Chuning's yard were ready to eat. She pulled out five radishes, a lotus root, a cabbage, and two sticks of green vegetables and packed them.
I planned to go to the city to get some cotton wool for the teacher, and then buy some meat to go to the teacher's place and make a delicious meal for her.
When she arrived in the city, she parked her bicycle outside the supply and marketing cooperative.
She originally thought that since she came early enough, she would be able to get in line first and buy good meat.
I didn't expect there was already a long line in front of the meat counter.
Shen Chu Ning stood obediently at the back of the line, stretching his neck to look at the counter in front.
There was probably only half a pig's worth of pork left on the counter.
She estimated in her mind that by the time it was her turn, even if there was still meat, there would probably only be some unwelcome scraps like bones left.
Meat is expensive nowadays, and the bones that are removed are real bones with almost no meat on them.
Even if you buy ten kilograms of bones, the meat on them may not be enough for one bite.
The people in front of Shen Chu Ning were also complaining, "There are so many people, but there is only so little meat left. Will we still be able to buy it when it's our turn?"
The other person responded, "What can we do? We have no connections. Look, people with connections come and just take away the meat, and it's all good meat."
People like us who line up early in the morning can’t even buy the good meat, let alone the leftovers. ”
Shen Chu Ning was also lucky before, and every time she came to buy things, it was quite smooth, and the big sister she always bought things from was very enthusiastic.
She really didn’t realize how hard it was to buy things when supplies were limited or on demand.
Today she finally realized it.
At the same time, when she heard people around her complaining about the people with connections, she also felt a little resentful in her heart, thinking that if it weren't for the people with connections, the good meat would have been kept.
Those who have no connections and can only queue up honestly, even if they can't buy good meat if they queue up at the back, at least they can buy some.
Shen Chu Ning was squeezed so hard in the team that he was thinking about whether he should just give up the purchase and eat the meat he had bought in the black market and stored in the space.
Then she heard someone calling her, "Big sister, big sister..."
Shen Chuning turned around and saw that it was the sister from the supply and marketing cooperative who had been selling her things before.
The eldest sister waved at her, "Come out."
Shen Chu Ning quickly squeezed out of the team, “Sister, you didn’t go to work today?”
The salesmen at the supply and marketing cooperative are not allowed to leave their posts during working hours. My elder sister is not responsible for selling meat, so she cannot come to the meat shop during working hours.
"I'm taking a break today too." The eldest sister said, "Big sister, do you want to buy some meat today?"
Shen Chuning nodded.
The elder sister lowered her voice and said, "Today, our supply and marketing cooperative only received one pig. The ones reserved for the relatives and friends only have half a pig. And you came late. By the time it's your turn, there will be no meat left."
Chen Chu Ning smiled and said, "Yeah, I was just thinking about whether I should just not queue up or buy it."
The eldest sister pulled Shen Chu Ning aside and said, "My eldest sister asked someone to keep four pounds of meat today, and I will give you two pounds."
"Thank you, big sister." Shen Chuning hurriedly thanked her.
"It's nothing. I just happened to buy a lot today. Wait here for a while and I'll get it for you."
Shen Chu Ning stood there and waited for a while.
Soon, the eldest sister came out carrying a piece of meat. It was three parts lean and seven parts fat, and the fat was shiny. In this age of lack of oil and meat, it was definitely top-notch meat.
Shen Chu Ning doesn't like to eat fatty meat.
But the teacher likes to eat.
The big piece of fat meat is stewed with the radish until it is soft and melts in your mouth without you having to use your teeth.
Shen Chuning quickly gave the elder sister the money and thanked her again and again.
At this time, a disdainful voice came from the side, "Oh, another person with connections."
Shen Chuning: …
Just think about it, she was just complaining with others about how people with connections couldn't buy meat because of them.
Now, in the blink of an eye, she herself has become a relative.
This feeling is quite subtle.
The eldest sister looked at Shen Chuning's expression and thought that she was thin-skinned and was embarrassed to be called a relative.
He quickly said, "Sister, don't bother with them. They are just sour grapes."
After the elder sister finished comforting her, she lowered her voice and said, "By the way, elder sister, my relatives sent me another can of malted milk and milk powder. Do you want some?"
Shen Chu Ning nodded repeatedly, “Yes!”
She feels the need for these nutritional supplements in her family right now is huge.
Not only was the teacher in poor health and in need of nutritional supplements, but her father had also been rushing to do the dirty and tiring work with high work points in the production team in order to support her over the years.
Although Dad seems to be in good health now, the root of the disease must have been planted long ago.
If you don't take immediate action to treat the problem now, it may be too late when the problem breaks out.
