Chapter 20: Rich School



Geng Ming looked at Luo Qiao and nodded in understanding: "Okay, sit down for a moment."

When Geng Ming came back, he was holding a brown paper bag containing 400 yuan, all in Datuanjie banknotes, and another brown paper bag containing two Datuanjie banknotes and various bills.

Luo Qiao took a rough look and found quite a few varieties of coupons, including sugar coupons, cloth coupons, soap coupons, and industrial coupons, but unfortunately there were no meat coupons. What made Luo Qiao happiest was that there was actually a sewing plane ticket.

Geng Ming also felt that the price of this ginseng was not as high as that in the city. He happened to have a sewing ticket in his hand that his family had already purchased, and there was no point in keeping it, so he gave it to Luo Qiao.

After receiving the money and the ticket, Luo Qiao told Geng Ming a few words, then went to the front and sold the kilograms of Bupleurum in the basket. Then she said goodbye and left the Chinese medicine store.

Thinking about my home, I prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange those bills for things.

The supply and marketing cooperative was quite large, and there were a lot of people inside. Seeing that the counter where she needed to buy something was crowded with people, she had no choice but to walk to the back to see if there was anything she needed.

When they got to the end of the counter, they found a simple stove for winter use. Luo Qiao asked about the price: "Comrade, how much is this stove?"

The salesman didn't even raise his eyes. He just said, "Six industrial coupons, six dollars."

Luo Qiao thought about it and realized it was not cheap, but the stove was small and could use both coal briquettes and firewood. She thought that it might be hard to buy in winter, so she might as well buy it now since she could find it.

He counted out six industrial coupons and handed over six dollars. The salesperson behind the counter was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Luo Qiao to actually buy it. After taking the money and coupons and confirming that they were correct, he took the stove out of the counter.

Luo Qiao regretted buying the stove right after she bought it. How could she buy anything else with this in her pocket?

The salesperson just now looked up and saw the girl's face full of annoyance. Seeing Luo Qiao looking at the counter in front of her, he knew what she was thinking. He really didn't expect that this girl could actually take out an industrial voucher. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

Luo Qiao was delighted when she heard this. She was really confused as to why she hadn't thought of this. After thanking him repeatedly, she walked towards the counter.

Anyway, except for the sewing ticket, I had almost used up all the tickets I had, so I bought a thermos, Liberation shoes and cloth shoes, soap, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, an enamel washbasin that was typical of the era, and a comb.

The teeth of the comb that the original owner carried with him were almost falling off, and there was no toothpaste. The bristles of the toothbrush were almost worn out, and the towel was torn like a spider web and could not be used at all.

So except for the small stove, everything I bought today are necessities.

When I returned to the counter to buy the stove, my hair had been messed up. I quickly tied it up again, then I thanked the supply and marketing cooperative and left.

She was also afraid of running into people from the village, so she first found an empty corner and put the small stove away, leaving only shoes and a washbasin outside, as shoes had to be worn outside anyway.

The washbasin will be used when washing clothes in the river in the future, even if it is after dawn.

After finishing all these, I went to the middle school of the commune to ask what I should do in my situation. But when I asked, I found out that if I wanted to go to junior high school, I had to take the primary school graduation exam this year and pass it before I could go to middle school, or I had to have a primary school graduation certificate, and the middle school would issue the test paper and divide the grade according to the score.

Before Luo Qiao could ask something else, the man had already waved his hand impatiently and asked her to leave.
