Lin Yiyi and four other female comrades arrived at the dock in the army car, and Xiao Yu sent them there.

Lin Yiyi: "Xiao Shiyi, mommy will be back tomorrow, you just have to be good and follow daddy." She waved to her son.

Little Eleven also waved to his mother, and his little hands waved quite vigorously: "Yi Yi..." while calling his mother's name.

Lin Yiyi looked at it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After the four female comrades got in the car, Xiao Yu did not leave immediately, but took his brother-in-law and son to go fishing. When they got to the fishing place, he put his son in the stroller and said, "Eleven, Dad will catch some big fish for you today, and I will make fish soup for you tomorrow when your mom comes back."

Little Eleven was sitting in the stroller, his little fists clenched as if he was cheering for his dad.

Lin Wudi also held a fishing rod: "Eleven, do you think my brother-in-law catches more fish or my uncle catches more fish?"

Little Eleven looked back and forth between his father and his uncle, his big eyes looking very innocent. He didn't understand.

The four lesbians got on the boat and started discussing what they wanted to trade.

Mr. Bei: "I plan to trade some eggs, meat, sugar, and cloth. What do you plan to trade?" The villagers on the island are willing to exchange vegetables, but many are unwilling to exchange eggs because they rarely go out and can hardly buy meat. So eggs are seen as a supplement to the body. If a family has two chickens and they give away the eggs, they will have nothing to supplement their body. Moreover, even if they are willing to trade, there are more military dependents in the family compound than villagers on the island, and the eggs they have are not enough for the military dependents to trade. Therefore, there are few eggs on the island, and there are also few eggs in the family compound.

The army cafeteria does have boiled eggs, but only a few days a month.

Jiang: "I want to trade eggs and sugar, too. I'll see what else I can find. I also want to go to the department store and take a look."

Xu: "I'm almost the same."

Lin Yiyi: "If you want to trade eggs, you can come to my house and trade with my brothers."

Bei and others were stunned.

Lin Yiyi said: "My family has been divided, and my three younger brothers all have chickens. Six chickens lay eggs every day, so there is no shortage of eggs."

Bei's mind moved: "Then can I order eggs from Lin's brother's house every month?"

Jiang: "Yes, I never thought that Lin Meizi's brother's eggs are usually sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, right? Then just trade them to us. We don't have egg coupons, so we can follow the price of the supply and marketing cooperative and increase it by 20 cents." The supply and marketing cooperative charges 60 cents per pound.

For eggs, she can give 80 cents per pound, but since there are no receipts, it is appropriate to increase the price by 20 cents.

Lin Yiyi said, "No need, just 60 cents per pound." This way, the brothers can earn an extra 20 cents per pound, and the military wives can also have a stable supply of eggs to exchange, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, the brothers have more eggs, and there are also eggs exchanged for meat coupons every year, and the extra eggs can still be purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative.

At 6:30, the boat arrived at the shore.

Next, Lin Yiyi and others rented an ox cart from the Bainiwan Production Brigade and went directly to the free trade site.

Lin Yiyi said: "Let's trade our own goods. After the trade is done, we'll meet at the gate of the commune."

Everyone is fine.

Lin Yiyi went to see Xiao Daqiang first: "Dad."

Xiao Daqiang was also surprised to see Lin Yiyi coming: "Yiyi, why are you here? Are you here to trade? By the way, your mother has already collected your town welfare this month." Lin Yiyi went to the island, but her household registration was in the county town, so Qin Xiangju went to collect the town welfare every month. Except for coal and eggs, everything else was collected. It also cost money to collect town welfare. The Xiao family ate the four pounds of meat every month directly. Although it was Lin Yiyi's welfare, the money was paid by Qin Xiangju. Moreover, if the meat was not eaten, it would be saved and replaced, unless it was made into bacon, but there was no need. The Lin family's younger brother did not lack meat = Lin Yiyi did not lack meat. In addition, the oil and soap every month were also used by the Xiao family, and Qin Xiangju also paid for it. As for the food, Qin Xiangju receives it every month and puts it in Lin Yiyi's new house. The second child and his wife had no work points and relied on food from their son's army. She was worried that their family would not have enough food, so she saved all the food they received for the second child and his wife. Of course, the Xiao family is not short of food.

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Mom. Dad, I'm going to trade some things. We'll talk when I get home tonight."

Xiao Daqiang: "Hey, go ahead. If you have a lot of stuff to trade, you can leave it here with me. I'll carry it back for you after get off work."

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

Lin Yiyi was here to play with Bei and the others today, and she had no real intention of trading anything. Originally, today was Sunday, and Xiao Daqiang did not have to go to work, but because it was a trading day, he had to work overtime. However, people in the office of the commune did not have to work overtime. Originally, Lin Yiyi wanted to go and say hello, but since they were not working, she did not go.

Summer trading days are not as lively as winter trading days because it is too hot in summer and there are trading days every month, so in the eyes of Mr. Bei and others, the lively trading days are not as lively as winter trading days.

In Lin Yiyi's eyes, trading days are not that lively. If we talk about liveliness, the trading day on August 15, 1963 is the busiest. Apart from the first trading day, the trading day at the end of each year is also very lively because everyone has to prepare New Year's goods.

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns, anyone want to trade? Trade buns..."

"Trading buns, delicious buns, meat and vegetable buns..."

Lin Yiyi was startled. This voice... Then she couldn't help laughing. Isn't this the voice of Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun? She immediately followed the voice and saw Lin Dajun, Lin Zhen and Lin Sijun doing business. There were three backpacks in front of them, one with meat buns, one with vegetable buns, and one with steamed buns. It happened that each person was responsible for one backpack.

Lin Yiyi watched for a while and had to admit that there were quite a few people who went to exchange for steamed buns. Everyone exchanged for food. For example, vegetable buns and steamed bread cost half a pound of coarse food, which was only 2 cents. Most people were willing to eat them. For meat buns, they cost one pound of coarse food. If it was fine food, such as rice, they would cost three.

I have to say, it's quite interesting that the brothers of the Lin family exchanged food in this way. Many people were willing to spend money just to have a taste.

In fact, the meat buns are very small and there is not much meat inside. However, after the meat buns are steamed, there are a lot of grease stains inside. Many people eat the meat buns just for the grease stains, which go deep into the bun skin and taste very good.

Lin Yiyi watched for a while, then walked to the stall and queued up to exchange buns with others. When it was her turn, Lin Dajun was stunned. He opened his mouth wide and looked at his sister: "Sister..."

Following Lin Dajun's shout, Lin Sijun and Lin Zhen also looked over.

Lin Sijun shouted even louder: "Sister, why are you here? We wanted to visit you next week."

Lin Zhen: "Big sister."

Lin Yiyi said: "I brought other military wives from the army to trade. Let's trade separately. I saw you when I came here."

Lin Sijun: "Wow, sister, you are so amazing, aren't you?"

Lin Yiyi: “…”

Lin Dajun: "Sister, aren't my brother-in-law and nephew here yet? And is Xiaowu here yet?"

Lin Yiyi: "They haven't come yet, you guys do your business first." As she said that, she walked to the side.

Lin Zhen: "Sister, are you hungry? We have meat buns, vegetable buns and steamed buns. They were all steamed this morning and are still hot." Lin Zhen was a little nervous. She was naturally nervous towards Lin Yiyi, as if she was talking to her mother-in-law.

Lin Yiyi Road

: "I'm not hungry. I had breakfast before leaving. How did you come up with the idea of ​​trading steamed buns?"

Lin Zhen: "Dajun said he had nothing to do at home, so he came to the trading day to trade some food. The food we got from work was not enough, so we planted vegetables in our private plots." There were three people eating, and only Lin Zhen went to work. It was difficult to fill Lin Zhen's stomach with the food she got from work, so their food was mainly obtained through exchange, using meat coupons and eggs. There were many places in the countryside that needed eggs, and everyone knew that the Lin family had eggs, so when they needed eggs to eat or give to others, they would come to exchange them. If a woman had just given birth and needed to replenish her body, or if a pregnant woman needed to replenish her body, they would come to the Lin family to exchange eggs.

Lin Zhen was a hardworking girl, and Lin Sijun was also hardworking, so when Lin Dajun was in high school in the county, they raised the piglets and chickens at home to be fat.

Lin Yiyi: "That's great. Having ideals and aspirations is the role model for working people." It's true. I don't know how to praise it.

When Lin Zhen heard this, she was very happy: "Sister, please come home for lunch at noon and ask the military wives to come along. I'll go home and cook first."

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Then she took out the things in the backpack and said, "This is dried fish, dried kelp, and dried shrimp. I was going to give them to you. Just take them back."

Lin Zhen: "Okay." She was embarrassed to ask for the things Lin Yiyi gave her at first, but seeing that Lin Dajun always took them without hesitation, she stopped refusing. Lin Dajun really would not refuse. He would take whatever his sister gave him. This was already a habit. During the famine, they would eat whatever his sister gave them. This habit became a habit. He would take whatever his sister gave him.

Lin Zhen: "Sister, how many military wives are here this time?" This way she would have an idea when cooking.

Lin Yiyi: "Including me, there are five in total. By the way..." Lin Yiyi whispered in Lin Zhen's ear, "The military wives want to exchange some eggs, 60 cents per pound. If you don't have enough at home, you can ask your mother if she has any."

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard this: "There's enough at home." The supply and marketing cooperative only bought it at 40 cents a pound and gave the military wives 60 cents a pound. Of course she was happy.
