Lin Fucai and his wife left the factory in a hurry and went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
They had to buy some daily necessities first, and most importantly, clothes. Although both of them bought defective cloth, it was too late to buy cloth to make clothes. None of the clothes lent to them by the neighbors fit them. The most important thing was that these clothes were very old, full of patches and tattered, which made the two people who cared about their reputation feel very uncomfortable wearing them.
The two of them wanted to try their luck and see if they could buy some clothes without a ticket. They were wearing tattered clothes and they didn't want to wear them for a whole day.
The couple took the advance of one month's salary and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and the grain station. They were lucky and bought several expensive ready-made clothes at the supply and marketing cooperative that did not require cloth coupons, one set for each of them.
The couple has not bought any clothes for their two sons, daughter and mother at home yet. After all, they have to go out to work, so they must dress decently. So they asked their sons, daughter and mother not to go out for the next two days. After the clothes are made, they can let the children go to school and take leave for the next two days.
As for my mother going out to buy groceries, the couple agreed that she could just wear old clothes borrowed from her neighbor for the time being.
All these clothes came from Hai City. Although no tickets were required, the prices were much more expensive than ordinary clothes. The couple gritted their teeth and finally had to buy them. There was no other way. Without clothes, they couldn't even go to work.
She also bought a clay pot without a ticket at the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as a few bowls and chopsticks. That's right, Lin Siya even took away the big iron pot they used for cooking and the bowls and chopsticks they used for eating, just to keep the place clean.
After buying some miscellaneous items, they still had some money left. Since the two of them didn't even have their grain certificates, they couldn't go to the grain station. They could only find a way to buy expensive grain on the black market. The family was used to eating fine grains, but the money they had left was not enough to buy a few kilograms of rice. In desperation, the couple could only buy some cornmeal and take it back to make do for a while.
Once the police officers solve the case and recover their belongings, they believe they will be able to return to their previous lives.
By the time the couple returned home, tired and carrying lots of bags, it was already dark.
The couple then realized that except for their own house, everyone else's house had lights. Even if there were no lights, they were using kerosene lamps or candles. Only their own house was pitch black.
Li Xiaolian couldn't help but curse: "This damn thief stole everything, even the light bulbs. Is this because he has never seen anything good before? Damn thief, ah ah ah ~"
Li Xiaolian felt like she was going crazy. Thinking about the looks and comments from the neighbors during the day, and the way they looked at her when she went to the factory and bought things outside, Li Xiaolian felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, so she couldn't help but vent her anger on the elusive thief.
Lin Fucai was also very tired, but he was better off than Li Xiaolian. At least although he was a grown man and became bald, and the paint on his face could not be washed off, his entire face was wrapped with cloth, so at least the words on it could not be seen. Otherwise, Lin Fucai would never go out with these two words on his face, even if he was beaten to death.
"Why are you shouting? Hurry up and light a fire to cook. We've been hungry all day and are almost starving to death."
Faced with Li Xiaolian's impotent rage, Lin Fucai lost his usual gentleness and patience.
"How can I cook in this pitch black mess?" Li Xiaolian said unhappily.
Lin Fucai had no choice. It was already dark and the supply and marketing cooperative had closed long ago. He could only go to his neighbor and borrow two candles, one for cooking and the other for lighting.
After the family finally had their meal, washing, dressing, and sleeping became the biggest problem.
There is not even a bed at home. How is the family supposed to sleep?
Fortunately, Lin Siya left a quilt for them. The family huddled together on the ground, covered themselves with some clothes, and slept like that.
The nights at the beginning of spring were extremely cold, so the next day, the weaker old lady and Lin Nuannuan fell ill and had high fevers.
The couple had to take leave again, but the factory already knew that they had been robbed, so no one said much.
The couple was in a state of panic, and the entire Lin family was in a state of gloom. After more than ten years of planning, they were back to the time before liberation. Oh, no, it was even worse than before liberation. The family could be described as penniless.
All the places in the house where money and other things were hidden were empty. The old lady felt very sad. She even fainted several times. She was angry and caught a cold. She couldn't get up the next day.
The monthly salary that the two of them had was not enough to buy household items. They had already spent most of it yesterday on buying household items and clothes for the two of them, and had no money left to go to the hospital.
It is impossible to ask neighbors for help. Nowadays, everyone is having a hard time and has no energy to care about other people's affairs.
However, there were a few kind-hearted neighbors who sent them some food, but it was all coarse grains, which made it difficult for the family to swallow. But if they didn't eat, they would starve to death. If they wanted to exchange the money they had for fine grains, not only would they not have food coupons, but how many meals could they eat with the fine grains?
Now the family puts all their hopes on the police station, hoping that the police can find this group of thieves as soon as possible and take back their belongings, so that they can live their previous lives again.
However, things did not develop in the direction they expected. When the police came again, what was waiting for them was a pair of silver bracelets.
