Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Ah, you, you, you, you are not dead...

After leaving Qiaojie's house, Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan went back to find Uncle Liu with sacks and bamboo mats. After putting all the things on the donkey cart and asking Uncle Liu to help look after them, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

Admittedly, they only had money and no tickets, but there were always some things in the supply and marketing cooperative that could be bought without tickets.

Besides, even if you don't buy them, it's novel to take a look.

The supply and marketing cooperative is quite large, with six rooms facing the street, all with glass windows, and it looks quite impressive against the gray bungalows around it.

On the outer wall, there is a large slogan written in yellow lead: Develop the economy, ensure supply, be self-reliant, and work hard.

Shen Moer was already used to slogans written on the wall. On the wall of the brigade headquarters next to her house was written "Always follow the Party and serve the people." She was more interested in the row of bright glass windows. She stared at them for several times and decided to install such glass windows in her new house. There

were a wide variety of goods in the supply and marketing cooperative. Shen Moer looked all the way and saw something new. After a little thought, she could figure out what it was by looking through the original owner's memory.

The front was okay, all of which were daily necessities, fresh and tempting, but not to the point of salivating. It was not until she walked to the counter in the back and saw the legendary "three big items" - watches, bicycles, and sewing machines that Shen Moer could no longer walk.

Shen Moer did have a jade-bottomed compass. The jade was made of excellent material and was very delicately crafted. It was originally an object she liked very much. However, no matter how good the material was, it was still used to tell time. Compared with this watch, it was just a flashy gadget.

Wearing a watch directly on your wrist, you can keep track of time anytime and anywhere. How convenient!

There are also bicycles. The team leader Zhou Mancang has one. With a push of his feet, it runs faster than a donkey cart. It is Zhou Mancang's great tool for traveling around the commune. Not to mention Shen Moer, all the members of the Yangliu Brigade envy it.

As for the sewing machine, you can easily sew clothes by stepping on it. How rare and ingenious!

Shen Moer was envious, but she was short of money and could only sigh.

"Ah!"

Shen Moer almost thought she sighed out loud, and when she turned around, she met her father's eager but helpless eyes.

Yes, if it was changed, it was still in Daliang, and if it was in Daliang, there would be no war. No matter what her father liked, he could just cry and beg the emperor's uncle.

Now, we have to be self-reliant and work hard as written on the slogan outside the door.

"When we have money, we can buy all the three big things and three small things!" Shen Moer comforted her father.

The saleswoman standing behind the counter smiled immediately: "Young comrade has great ambitions."

Shen Moer also smiled: "Let's welcome the 1970s with the new victories of revolution and production. We will definitely get better and better and everyone can buy a bicycle!"

"Great, great, if everyone can buy a bicycle, life will be so happy then." The saleswoman was amused by her. She waved her hand and asked Shen Moer to come closer. She whispered, "I have a defective thermos here. Do you want one? The shell has some defects, but the inside is fine and it doesn't affect the use."

Shen Moer's eyes lit up. To buy a thermos, an industrial coupon is required, but defective products do not require a coupon. Such good things are usually consumed internally by the supply and marketing cooperatives. They are sold out before they are put on the shelves. Basically, buying it is equal to making a profit.

"Yes, of course!" Shen Moer smiled, "My family is in need of a thermos. It was cold a few days ago, and I couldn't even drink hot water at night. Big sister, you are really a timely help!"

The saleswoman originally thought the little girl was interesting, and she happened to have an extra defective thermos, so she asked casually. Now hearing her say that, I suddenly felt that this thermos was a good deal, and the little girl will be able to drink hot water at night in the future, right?

After paying six yuan and fifty cents, I got a brand new thermos with just a slight dent on the iron shell.

Shen Moer was very satisfied and thanked the saleswoman again. Then they went to the grocery counter and bought a bag of salt and a handful of fruit candies that didn't require a ticket. After shopping and buying things, I was about to leave when I heard a quarrel at the fabric counter.

"Impossible, I remember clearly that you had defective fabric for sale today! Are you hiding it and want to sell it to your relatives?! Since it is a product of the supply and marketing cooperative, everyone has the right to buy it, so bring it out!"

"Where did you come from, you bastard? What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to buy fabric, you should bring fabric coupons. If you don't have fabric coupons, you still want to force it!!"

"Bah! Isn't this the people's supply and marketing cooperative? Why are you hiding defective fabric and wanting to make a private deal?! Are you serving the people or a few people?!"

"You little bastard, you are here to pick a fight on purpose, right? You, you, you, just wait, I'm going to slap you to death!"

As Shen Moer walked over, she saw the salesperson leaning out from the other side of the counter with most of her body, reaching out to slap the young girl standing in front of the counter, but the girl was very experienced and grabbed her hair instead -

slap, ... "Hey, where did this girl come from? She's so brave that she dares to fight with the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative." The middle-aged uncle couldn't help but mutter. The salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative , the "eight big members" who are so famous, usually have to smile to them when people come to buy things, and they still ignore them, not to mention that this is in someone else's territory. If this girl is not very brave, then she is stupid. "Hey, you don't know me, this is Liu Jihong from Songshu Brigade, oh, no, she changed her name recently, now she's Liu Yinshuang. This girl used to be quite honest, but she fell down while picking mushrooms in the mountains at the beginning of the year, probably hurt her head, and she's been acting up since she came back from the hospital. Just a few days ago, I heard that she had a fight with her mother at home because her mother gave eggs to her brother but not to her." An old lady next to her said. "So it was her!" Many people showed a look of realization. The supply and marketing cooperative naturally couldn't just sit there and watch the two people fight like this, and soon the salesmen from other counters came over to stop the fight, and the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative also hurried over. The two people who were fighting were pulled apart. Before the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative could say anything, Liu Yinshuang started yelling, "Director Qian, just tell me, did you receive a batch of defective cloth yesterday? Are there still three pieces left after the internal purchase? Are there two pieces of navy blue and one piece of off-white? Should these cloths be sold today?" Director Qian: "..."

He wanted to say no, but the other party was just like they had gone through their warehouse and said it was exactly right, so what else could he say?

The others also thought Liu Yinshuang was making a fuss, but now they heard her say it so convincingly, they couldn't help but believe it.

In fact, the defective cloth is not in large quantities and does not require tickets, so the unspoken rule has always been that the supply and marketing cooperatives will digest it internally, and the relatives of the counter salesmen will quietly divide it.

Everyone understands the reason, and usually no one will find fault with the supply and marketing cooperative for such things, but now someone is trying to make trouble. Some smart people squeezed into the crowd and helped: "Director Qian, are there any defective cloths? The girl said it very clearly, and it doesn't sound like a lie. "

Director Qian was suddenly a little stuck. He couldn't say no, as it was obvious that the girl had inquired very clearly. But he couldn't just say yes either, because then Xiao Yuan would be at a loss, which was equivalent to their supply and marketing cooperative also at a loss.

However, leaders are all smart people. Director Qian thought for a moment and said, "We did import three pieces of defective cloth. There are not many of them, so we are still discussing how to sell them. Therefore, according to work discipline, Comrade Xiao Yuan did not rashly take out the cloth. However, since everyone is so enthusiastic about buying cloth, I will make a statement on the spot. Xiao Yuan, you should take out the cloth and sell it now. Not everyone can buy it. First come, first served."

Liu Yinshuang heard what Director Qian said and immediately He slapped the counter and said, "Yes, take out the cloth quickly!"

Salesman Xiao Yuan was not convinced: "How can I sell it? She even hit people!"

Director Qian's face darkened: "If customers have objections, you can explain it well. If we fight all the time, how can our supply and marketing cooperative continue to operate?"

Seeing that the leader was angry, Xiao Yuan did not dare to say anything. He took out a piece of dark blue cloth from the cabinet. The color of one end of the cloth was not dyed evenly, which was probably a defect. However, at the time when materials were scarce, no one would care about this defect. Moreover, this kind of cloth did not require cloth coupons. In fact, it was more cost-effective than ordinary cloth.

The eyes of the onlookers were all bright, and the corners of their mouths could not help but curl up.

"I want one piece, not this color, I want off-white!"

Liu Yinshuang spoke again, and her words were quite thought-provoking.

Salesman Xiao Yuan: "..."

Others: "..."

How shameless! There are only three pieces of cloth in total, and you want one piece right away!

Director Qian's mouth twitched slightly, but he still explained gently: "Comrade, the cloth is limited. For the sake of fairness, each person cannot take more than ten feet."

Liu Yinshuang pouted: "Ten feet is ten feet, I can't even make a whole set of clothes. OK, I want off-white, not this gray navy blue." She was still complaining.

Salesman Xiao Yuan was already extremely angry, but because the leader was standing here, it was really difficult to lose his temper. He could only hold back his anger and bring out another piece of off-white cloth, quickly measured ten feet, cut it with scissors, and tore it off and threw it to Liu Yinshuang.

Liu Yinshuang paid the money, rolled up the ten-foot cloth, and turned to leave.

The others subconsciously made way for her, and when she left the counter, they immediately rushed up to surround the counter.

"I want a ten-foot dark blue one."

"I want a beige one, also ten feet long."

"I, I, I want one too!"

Liu Yinshuang raised her head and walked with a big step, muttering to herself: "You guys are really taking advantage of me. Humph, the people's supply and marketing cooperative is not for the people, and you want to do some swindling things. One day I will report you!"

Director Qian, who was standing aside: "..."

He didn't know that this was the recently famous Liu Yinshuang from the Songshu Brigade, but he could see that this female comrade was different from ordinary people. No matter what era, people who are always fighting or reporting are really not easy to mess with.

So even though Director Qian heard it, he pretended not to hear it and didn't say anything.

Liu Yinshuang walked out with a proud step, and when she raised her eyes inadvertently, she suddenly met the eyes of Shen Moli in the crowd.

Her expression froze instantly, and she stared at Shen Moli for a while, her eyes quickly changed from confusion and doubt to horror: "Ahhh, you you you, aren't you dead?"

Shen Moli looked at her and blinked in confusion.

Liu Yinshuang's expression became more and more terrified: "You you you, you are dead, you are obviously dead, ahhh, ghost--"

She rushed out of the door at lightning speed and ran so fast that she became a black dot.

Shen Moli: "..."
