Su Erhe didn't know that Zhu Xing had been staring at her. When she returned home, Su Xiatian offered to wash the dishes, probably because of the candy she had eaten.
Su Erhe still followed the old rules and didn't compete with him.
It’s nice to have a younger brother, and even better if he’s someone you can bully.
Unlike some families, where there is only one girl in the family, all the housework is left to the daughter and the son does not have to do anything.
Su Erhe increasingly felt that the atmosphere in the Su family was quite good.
Especially Su's father, when he saw Suerhe boiling water in the kitchen, he turned back and returned the two pieces of candy to Suerhe.
"That brat He Zheng gave it to you. Keep it for yourself. Dad can just take a piece and give it to your mom to make her happy."
"Dad, take it and eat it. I have more."
Father Su wanted to say something, but Su Erhe saw that the water was hot, so she asked Father Su to leave quickly because she planned to take a bath.
I ran outside all day today. Although I didn't sweat, my body still felt sticky and uncomfortable. I definitely needed to take a shower. The environment was a bit simple, but there was no other way. I found a large wooden basin, brought it into the room, poured water into it, and simply washed myself.
Just finished washing and ready to pour out the water.
Su's mother just came back from outside. Seeing her red cheeks and changed clothes, she asked, "Did you take a shower?"
Su Erhe nodded, "Yes, I've finished washing it and am just about to pour out the water."
Su's mother glanced into her room and said, "Don't pour it out. Such a pot of hot water will consume a lot of firewood. Don't waste it. I'll wash it too."
As he said this, he went into his own room. After a while, he took the clothes and towels and went into Suerhe's room, slamming the door shut.
Su Erhe's eyelids twitched twice.
She knows to save water, that's how...
Fortunately, she has good hygiene habits and didn't sit in the basin just now, she just squatted.
Soon, Su's mother also washed herself clean. Su Erhe stared at Su's mother, afraid that she would ask other people in the family to wash again. It would be fine if they were all women, but what if the men in the family also used this basin of water?
She is a stranger who traveled through time and space, and I really can't accept it.
Fortunately, Su's mother didn't do that. She poured out the water after she came out.
Su Erhe breathed a sigh of relief.
There are not many entertainment activities in the countryside at night, and there is no TV at home, so people basically go back to bed early.
Su Erhe also returned to his room and closed the door.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began to take inventory of the space.
A 28-inch truck, half a pig, more than 100 pounds of wild boar meat, eleven eggs, and rice and flour, not much in quantity, and oil and salt, not much in quantity either, the total cost was two yuan and thirty cents, and half a bottle of disinfectant, oh, and a can of malted milk and milk candy.
As for food coupons, stamps, cloth coupons and the like, there wasn't a single one.
There will be no shortage of meat for the time being.
There are still many things missing.
For example, basins!
She wanted two basins for her own use, one for washing her butt and a larger one for taking a bath, and towels because the towels at home had many holes.
Based on the original owner's experience of living in the Du family, she remembered that industrial tickets were required to buy towels, wool, blankets, etc., and sewing machines, watches, bicycles, etc. also required industrial tickets.
Obviously, she didn't!
With his chin supported by his hand, Su Erhe tapped the bed lightly with his other hand.
Before she traveled through time, she was not a fan of novels, but she had a friend who loved to read them, and sometimes she would tell her some of the plots, such as about traveling through time to a period novel, with all kinds of extremely bad relatives, and the heroine getting rich with her intelligence and talent. It seemed that they always mentioned a key place, the black market?
"Su Xiatian, come out!"
Su Erhe, in line with the principle that one should make full use of his younger brother, knocked on the brothers' door again.
After a while, Su Xiatian came out with her head down, "Sister, I noticed you have a lot of things to do."
"I noticed you talk a lot."
After Su Erhe finished speaking, he pulled Su Xiatian to hide in the corner. It was a familiar corner, with the familiar brother and sister, crouching like thieves.
"Do you know where I can exchange something? I have something I want to sell."
"Sister, you still have a treasure hidden? Can you show it to me?" Su Xiatian is also a very outgoing person. She is quite familiar with this sister who came back halfway.
"cannot."
Su Erhe was just looking for an excuse. How could she really take out the meat from the space? Obviously, so much wild boar meat had been distributed to each household. How could she explain it?
"Don't be so long-winded. Just tell me if you know where that place is."
Su Xiatian scratched his head. "I went to the county town with my mother once. She asked me to squat outside while she went into a small alley. I think she went to exchange eggs. I don't know for sure. My mother didn't allow me to ask. She also said that this matter must not be made public and must be done secretly. If we were caught, we would be sent to labor reform."
That is to say, there really is such a place. Farmers have eggs and can exchange them for tickets or money to increase their family income. However, workers in the city do not have enough food, so they exchange money and tickets for food, eggs, meat, etc.
After a little thought, Su Erhe decided that he must go there in person.
"You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, you understand!"
"Sister," Su Xiatian said, a little worried, "What if you get caught if you go alone?"
"Shut up your crow mouth."
Su Erhe is really grateful to him!
"Remember not to say anything nonsense, and I'll bring you something delicious when I come back tomorrow."
Su Erhe didn't have much to prepare. Anyway, all her things were stored in the space, including the pork. She thought about going there and getting whatever she could get first, and then exchanging some for money, food coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial coupons. It would be best if she could exchange some of them.
Perhaps because she had hope, she went to bed early and got up very early the next day. She had to tell Su's mother about it, otherwise it would not be good for a grown-up girl to go out.
"Are you going to the county town?" Su's mother hesitated, indeed worried.
"Yes, I need to go there. I left some things with a classmate, and there are several dollars. I need to get them back."
Of course, this was a fabrication, just to get Su's mother to agree to let her go.
When Su's mother heard that there were several dollars, her expression relaxed a little, but she was still not completely reassured.
"Don't worry, I've lived in the county before, I won't get lost."
When she was still Du Ruoyun, she did not live in the county town, but at that time the original owner had no worries about food and clothing, and her family spoiled her, so she had no chance to worry about these things.
"I went!"
Without giving Su's mother a chance to react, Su Erhe went out with empty hands.
Not long after she left, Su's mother chased her out again. Su Erhe thought she still disagreed with her going out, but it turned out to be Su's mother who pulled her to the side of the road and stuffed a dollar and two food coupons into her hands. "Take this with you. If you don't get the money back, you won't go hungry."
"Thank you, Mom."
Su Erhe accepted it, and seeing her casually put it in her pocket, Su's mother couldn't help but nagging: "Please put it carefully, don't let it fall or be touched by others. Hey, I will have to sew two pockets inside your clothes later."
Hearing this, Su Erhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the pocket is sewn on the inside of the jacket, not on the top of the underwear.
Think about it, every time I take out money, I have to put it into my pants to take it out. What a sour style...
I can’t bear it!
