Living with so many people, Jiang Baige decided that when she felt hungry, she would just eat secretly.
It is even more impossible to take out the meat and eat it. These days, anything that comes from an illegal source will sooner or later arouse suspicion.
Some people just can't stand seeing others living better than themselves. If others become jealous of them and report them, it would be a waste of time and effort.
There was half a lunch box of pickles, and each person got a little and it was gone.
Yu Shengli and his friends thought that they might not be able to eat such delicious food again in the future, so they cherished this hard-earned delicacy even more. They poured the remaining pickled vegetable soup into the rice and ate it.
After dinner, the two old educated youth went to work as usual, while several new educated youth discussed what items they wanted to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Baige went into the house and wrote a letter to her family. No matter what, since she had occupied the original owner's body, the original owner's family would eventually become her own family.
The cows in the village went to work with the villagers, so if the educated youth wanted to go to the town, they had to walk.
Hongqi Commune is more than ten miles away from Chenjia Village. Several young people asked farmers on the roadside while walking.
Moreover, the road was bumpy and difficult to walk on. Even though they walked very fast, it took them more than three hours to arrive.
The town was not big, and after asking around, they found the post office.
A few people first found the post office, prepared to send the letter first, and then go shopping.
Jiang Baige also tried it out, buying envelopes, putting stamps on them, and then delivering them. It felt quite novel.
But it was quite expensive. It cost eighty cents just to send the letter.
After leaving the post office, the group went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative was easy to find. I didn't even have to ask anyone. It was the best two-story building in town, because there were big words written on the wall saying "People's Workers' Cooperative".
Wu Lili took Wu Juan straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. When she left home, her mother gave her fifty yuan.
In the past, if she wanted to buy something, she would ask her mother for fifty cents or one dollar.
Now that no one is in charge and I still have money, I can decide what to buy.
Wu Juan was scared to death. What if she bought too much and ran out of money?
Jiang Baige didn't want to buy anything and wasn't interested at all, so she just strolled around slowly at the back.
Yu Shengli and Liang Youwei brought a lot of things from home for their two male comrades, so they didn't need anything, so the three of them waited at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Baige thought to herself, "I don't know how long it will take for those two sisters to come out. It's really cold standing here in the cold wind."
She wanted to wander around and didn't need to know how big the town was.
If you want to take out the things in the space to exchange for money in the future, you won’t be able to do it if you are not familiar with the terrain.
Thinking of the dozen dollars in his pocket, Jiang Baige had only one idea, which was to make money.
She acted very curious about the place and began to look around.
He said to the two men, "Comrade Yu Shengli, do you want to buy anything? If so, go ahead! I'll wait for them here."
Yu Shengli came to town today mainly to send a letter to his family. Now that the letter has been sent, he has nothing to do.
Yu Shengli shook his head, "I don't need anything."
Liang Youwei also shook his head. "Comrade Jiang, they've all gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Do you want to go and take a look?"
She waved her hand as well. "I'm not buying anything. I just want to look around. I don't know how long it will take for me to come to town again. I want to see everything so I'm familiar with it and I won't be so lost in the future."
Yu Shengli thought so too, "The town isn't that big anyway, you can go and take a look."
"How about asking Comrade Liang Youwei to go with you? You're a stranger here, and with the way you're dressed, others will know you're from out of town."
"It's not good for you, a lesbian, to go around alone."
Jiang Baige didn't think she would be unable to get away if something happened, but it would be much safer to have a male comrade with her.
Jiang Baige nodded in agreement and agreed to meet at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative at 11 o'clock.
There were no hawkers hawking their wares on the street, and it was very quiet.
At that time, it was still a state-owned economy and a collective economy, so there was no private business.
It will take more than ten years for the individual economy to develop. By then, everyone will show off their talents, and some people will quickly become millionaires.
Things can be bought and sold at this time, but it must be within the scope permitted by policy.
For example, if you have eggs at home and want to exchange them for money, you must sell them at the place designated by the cooperative.
Everything was sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. You needed grain coupons to buy grain, meat coupons, wine coupons, sugar coupons, cloth coupons, bicycle coupons, sewing machine coupons, cigarette coupons, soy sauce coupons, tofu coupons, vermicelli coupons, and even feces coupons and urine coupons.
These tickets cover every aspect of life, including eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, clothing, food, housing and transportation.
As long as you have the ticket, everything is fine.
In addition to a few grain coupons, Jiang Baige also had a few cloth coupons.
Jiang's mother was afraid that her clothes would be worn out when she came here, so she gave her all the tickets at home.
You know, they have saved these tickets for two years.
I had originally planned to wait until I had enough money to make new clothes for the whole family, but I didn’t expect that they never used them.
Jiang Baige looked down at her clothes and decided to make some new ones when the time came.
The houses in this town were far different from what Jiang Baige had imagined.
As I recall, the original owner already lived in a house made of blue bricks and tiles.
But the houses in this town are basically the same as those in the brigade, all made of mud, and some are even covered with straw.
Jiang Baige and Liang Youwei walked to the end of the street and saw no one else, and the alley was completely empty.
