Chapter 5 Cancellation of the Engagement (2/2)



Since it was something she had taken privately, they didn't dare report it to the police and could only suffer in silence.

They went to Zhao Guohua's room and found 818.25 yuan and some coupons. It was surprising that most of the coupons he had were cloth coupons, sugar coupons, and soap coupons. Could it be that he kept them to please Li Muqing?

Whatever the reason, I'll keep 25 cents and take the rest.

After leaving the Zhao family quietly, Li Xiyue made another fortune: 21,318 yuan, 38 small yellow croakers, a large pile of tickets, and jewelry.

Seeing the savings in her account, Li Xiyue felt her head injury no longer hurt, and she felt incredibly refreshed. She skipped off to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I'm going to the countryside tomorrow, so I need to buy some supplies and use up all my local tickets.

When Li Xiyue went to register her and her brother for the rural assignment, she asked the educated youth office where the original owner of the body was assigned to. It was a township in the south. At that time, the educated youth office looked at her strangely and muttered that she was originally supposed to go to the Northeast, but the higher-ups changed it.

Li Xiyue didn't know why the higher-ups changed the name, but she didn't care where she went.

Cotton-padded clothes, cotton gloves, hats, scarves, cotton masks, work gloves, rubber gloves, yellow rubber shoes, high-top rubber shoes, cotton shoes, kettles, washbasins, teacups, aluminum boxes, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, Pechoin soap, clam oil, flashlights and other daily necessities need to be prepared.

With about 45 feet of cloth coupons on hand, Li Xiyue bought 15 feet of cotton cloth, 15 feet of woolen cloth, and 15 feet of polyester fabric.

Assuming an adult's set of clothes requires 7 feet of fabric, each type of fabric can make two sets of clothes.

Everything has its corresponding ticket. In short, you can't buy anything without a ticket, even if you have money. In this era, tickets are more important than money.

Li Xiyue had cotton coupons, so she bought some. Although the South is not as cold as the Northeast, the winter temperature is still several degrees below zero, and a lot of cotton is needed to make thick quilts, cotton shoes, and cotton trousers.

They also bought various pastries, biscuits, candies, malted milk powder, milk powder, brown sugar, white sugar, etc.

Fruit candies were sold by the piece, one cent each; assorted candies were sold by weight, one dollar and thirty cents a pound; the famous White Rabbit candies were one dollar and sixty cents a pound; brown sugar was eighty cents a pound; and white sugar was ninety cents a pound. All of these required sugar coupons.

There's also tea, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Different grades correspond to different levels of tickets. For example, Moutai liquor requires a Grade A liquor ticket, Da Zhonghua cigarettes require a Grade A cigarette ticket, Zhonghua, Mudan, and Daqianmen are Grade B, and Hongxing Erguotou and Huang Gai Fenjiu are also Grade B.

Li Xiyue didn't want to buy Moutai because she only had a ticket and needed proof.

The supply and marketing cooperative was short of supplies, and many things were missing. Li Xiyue went to the department store again to replenish the missing expensive cigarettes and alcohol, such as Zhonghua, Daqianmen, Mudan, and Erguotou.

Seeing that there were canned fruits for sale, she got a craving for canned fruit and bought all the canned fruits on the counter to eat slowly.

There are many mosquitoes in the south, so mosquito nets and essential oils are indispensable.

Because she bought so many things, Li Xiyue was afraid of attracting too much attention, so she bought a disguise potion from the space mall and drank it to transform into different appearances before buying the items in batches.

Finally, I took the foreign exchange certificates to the foreign exchange building and bought all the sanitary napkins inside. The sanitary napkins were a bit expensive, costing eight yuan a pack, and there were only about eight pads in a pack.

Even if it's expensive, I have to buy it. She's not used to using menstrual belts these days, so she still needs to use sanitary napkins.

The total cost for everything was 327.69 dollars, plus two-thirds of the local ticket price.

To cultivate crops in the space, Li Xiyue went to the grain station again and bought various grain seeds, vegetable and fruit seeds.

Grain and oil can only be purchased with a grain and oil ration book; money and coupons alone are not enough. Each person also has a fixed amount per month. Li Xiyue did not bring her grain and oil ration book, so she did not buy any.

The supplies were placed into the space in batches while no one was looking.

I still have some local tickets left. I plan to go to the black market to use them up, and then see if there's any food available; I need to stock up on some.

However, the black market only opens at night, and it's still noon now, so I need to go home first and deal with the house.
