Su Yuehua pretended to search in her bag, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law, I left in a hurry and forgot to take the food certificate."
Oh, Sister Qiuju sighed, and felt worried when she saw Su Yuehua's careless appearance. "You young people love to forget things every day. How are you going to live like this in the future? I'll give you some food when we get home."
At this time, food was in short supply in every household. Just now in the car, Sister Qiuju was talking to her other sisters-in-law about how the little brat was eating their father out of money. Her three sons were all very greedy, and there was not enough food. How could Su Yuehua have the nerve to ask to borrow food?
She waved her hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go out and buy food tomorrow."
"That's fine. Let's go if there's nothing to buy. The military vehicle won't wait for anyone. If we miss it, we'll have to take the bus back." After saying this, Sister Qiuju carried the bag of flour and walked out of the grain store.
Su Yuehua hurriedly followed.
She never thought that it would be so difficult to live in the 1970s after traveling back in time. Other female protagonists who traveled through time either had golden fingers or were possessed by koi fish, and they were successful in both love and career, truly the heroines.
But she was just fine, she just forced herself to go through it in the dark, and her life was like opening a blind box, all relying on guessing.
If this continues, no matter how thick-skinned she is, she will be exposed one day.
She took two quick steps to catch up with Sister Qiu Ju and started to talk: "Sister Qiu Ju, I just came here and I don't know anything. Thanks for your care. I am the youngest in the family and it is not my turn to worry about the family affairs. I am not used to living with Cheng Yi as the head of the family. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."
Sister Qiu Ju heard her husband talk about Su Yuehua's background and thought she was just a well-off woman who didn't know anything. She also reminded her carefully: "In our city, everyone has a fixed monthly food quota. High school students get 32 kilograms, and adults get 28 kilograms. Each unit will subsidize some food coupons based on the nature of the job."
Su Yuehua silently wrote down what Sister Qiuju said, and wondered if the 28 kilograms of food would be enough to eat if they were exchanged for rice. "Sister Qiuju, can I buy anything with these 28 kilograms of food?"
"How can that be possible! Of the 28 kilograms of food, the monthly ration can buy 8 kilograms of fine grains, and the rest is all cornmeal. Some families with a large population and insufficient food will replace white flour and rice with cornmeal."
"By the way, each person also gets half a pound of soybean oil every month." Seeing that Su Yuehua knew nothing, Sister Qiuju simply explained everything to her in detail.
Half a pound of soybean oil is not enough to fry something. The more Su Yuehua listened, the more worried she became.
The two followed the military vehicle back to the compound, just as Shen Chengyi was getting off work. He saw that Su Yuehua had bought a lot of things, so he hurried over to greet her.
Sister Qiu Ju looked at him with envy and said, "Yuehua, look at how much your Chengyi loves you. He is nothing like my husband, who doesn't even know how to help when a fat bottle falls over."
"Can't you give me some face? When have I ever been dissatisfied with my failure?" The second battalion commander walked quickly from behind the three people and took the basket from Sister Qiuju's hands.
Su Yuehua didn't dare to talk, fearing that Sister Qiuju would say something lewd and treacherous again, and followed Shen Chengyi upstairs.
When the two returned home, Shen Chengyi put what he was holding on the table and shouted, “Yuehua, wash your hands and let’s eat first.”
After strolling around the streets for an afternoon, Su Yuehua was really hungry, so she quickly put down what she was holding.
The dinner was relatively light, with Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu and two slices of pork belly floating on top.
Su Yuehua washed two bowls she had just bought today and put them on the dining table. "Chengyi, do you have any industrial coupons? I heard from sister-in-law Qiuju today that sometimes the canteen doesn't even wash the vegetables when cooking, so I want to buy an iron pot and learn to cook by myself in the future."
Shen Chengyi was surprised to hear that Su Yuehua wanted to learn to cook, and put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, "Tomorrow is the weekend, and it happens that I have a day off, I will go out to buy it."
"Buy a thermos and buy some food as well. You didn't give me the food book, so I couldn't buy any food today." Su Yuehua said all the things she wanted to buy.
Shen Chengyi nodded, “Anything else you want to buy?”
“I don’t have any for now. I’ll buy them when I need something later.” Su Yuehua originally wanted to ask Shen Chengyi to buy curtains, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
Today she went to the cloth counter to ask and found out that the cloth coupon she had was only enough to make a pair of trousers, so she didn't buy the curtains.
Shen Chengyi picked up the chopsticks and said hesitantly: "Everyone knows that I married you, and they all asked me to treat them during training today."
“How many people are there in your army? Are you inviting them all?” Su Yuehua opened her red lips slightly, looking at Shen Chengyi in surprise.
There are so many people in the army, if we can't feed them all, they will starve.
"I won't invite everyone. I'll just invite a few comrades I have a good relationship with, and a few soldiers under my command. Including their families, there will be about ten people. I'll order two dishes from the cafeteria and buy a few canned food." Shen Chengyi was afraid that Su Yuehua didn't like his comrades, so he didn't want to treat them at first, but since everyone asked, it would be bad for him not to.
Su Yuehua thought about it in her mind before saying, "It's not a good idea to invite guests to eat in the cafeteria, so let's cook at home. We can stew the old hen that Uncle Wu gave us with mushrooms, and with the dried vegetables that Auntie gave us, we can make two dishes."
"I'll listen to you. I'll ask Sister Qiuju to come and help." Shen Chengyi was obviously relieved after hearing what Su Yuehua said.
While Su Yuehua was eating, she suddenly thought of Niu Hongxia's family's dinner party, so she asked, "I heard that Niu Hongxia's family is having a dinner party tomorrow."
"Feng Dali is the section chief of the light bulb factory. I am familiar with him, and he is too utilitarian." Speaking of Feng Dali, Shen Chengyi couldn't help but frowned.
"I'm not familiar with him, how do you know?" Su Yuehua almost blurted out, love rival?
Shen Chengyi obviously didn’t want to talk about it, so he changed the subject directly, “I’ll take you to work on Monday.”
If Shen Chengyi hadn't mentioned going to work, Su Yuehua would have forgotten about going to work.
At the same time, she was worried because she didn't have the original owner's memories and didn't recognize any of her colleagues in the hospital. How could she go to work?
She would have to deal with it as it came. Fortunately, Shen Chengyi said he would take her there, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to find a hospital.
After dinner, Shen Chengyi took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Su Yuehua did not argue with him.
Early Monday morning, Su Yuehua got out of bed as soon as the wakeup call sounded.
She was just washing up when she heard a knock on the door, followed by Shen Chengyi's shout, "Yuehua, I'm sorry, the army has a temporary mission, I have to leave now, and I can't take you to work."
"It's okay, I'll take a car there myself later." Su Yuehua said, opened the door and walked out of the bathroom, Shen Chengyi had already left.
What worries her now is that she doesn’t even know where the military hospital is, so how is she going to get to her shift?
Pretend to have amnesia? Forget it, with a mouth, there are still places that cannot be found.
