I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 172 Thank You
When it comes to the issue of food shortage or not, Mrs. Guo and Gao's mother can't help feeling sorry for each other.

"To be honest, it's not easy in the city. Do you know how many catties our food supply is?" she asked Mother Gao.

Gao's mother shook her head: "No matter what you say, the urban hukou eats the imperial grain, and the income is guaranteed in drought and flood!"

Mrs. Guo snorted, and said, "Fifteen catties! Tell me, what can an adult's ration of fifteen catties be enough for? Who doesn't know that we Northeast people have a big appetite? Don't talk about being a strong laborer, you are a young daughter-in-law. Fifteen catties of rations are not enough for her to eat! The children in every household are so hungry that they drink water to quench their hunger, and cry at night."

Seeing the sad look on Mrs. Guo's face, Honghua was surprised when she heard the words, "Is it only fifteen catties?"

"That's not right!" Mrs. Guo complained, "Ordinary citizens without jobs are supplied with [-] catties of rations. Three cents are fine and seven cents are coarse, but the supply of fine grains is not enough at all! My old man and my son do heavy work, and the supply is high. Some, but they have a big appetite, and they rely on the support of their hometown. My family has survived until now. Our black land is extremely fertile, and it is a large grain-producing province. There was no disaster last year. What caused it? It’s not to support Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. We are starving ourselves. I heard that if there were patriots in Wutong City who donated billions of catties of grain to the country and pointed out to support the disaster-stricken areas in various places, Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai would each get [-] million catties of fine grain. Our city would not even have [-] catties of grain The supply cannot be afforded. The leaders made preparations for the grain adjustment, but it was later canceled because of this incident, and the grain that was to be transferred out was reserved for the local people.”

Honghua was stunned, "Wutong City? Leizi, Leizi, isn't Wutong City the hometown of Comrade Xia? No wonder he sent us [-] catties of food coupons in one go. It must be that their Wutong City has sufficient food supply."

"He learns to cook, and I heard that he works in a big restaurant, so he has some stock in hand." Gao Lei said.

It was easier for him to accept the kindness of his comrades.

At the same time, because the food supply in Wutong City is sufficient, his gratitude to Xia Xingxing will not be reduced, because what Xia Xingxing gave him is not only money and kindness, but the lives of the whole family!
Gao's mother suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from her bosom, opened it and handed it to him, "Your father and I are illiterate, we only read the mailed things and the money order, you sent me money when you were a soldier. , I recognize it. I don’t know what Comrade Xia wrote in his letter, you can read it yourself and tell us about it.”

Gao Lei watched it from beginning to end and smiled.

"Xia Mingxing said that he is not waiting to use the money, let us not have a psychological burden, and let me recover from my injuries, so that I can go up the mountain tomorrow to get him some mountain products and send them over. It was given by his partner, who is in school and has no other hobbies, but likes to eat with one bite."

Speaking of this, Gao Lei said to his parents: "Our family must have some wild goods? You can send them to him when you go home."

Mother Gao nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I packed a sack of dried mushrooms and dried fungus and originally planned to send it to the city's purchasing station to exchange money for your surgery fee. Now that you have the money sent by your comrade-in-arms, we will not sell it. Give it all to him!"

Don't look at it as a sack of mountain goods, in fact, it can't be exchanged for much money in the local area, let alone the preciousness of food.

After finishing the deal with Mrs. Guo on the food stamps and nutritional products Xia Mingxing sent to them, Gao's father and Gao's mother's mule cart pulled a sack of dried sweet potatoes back to the village overnight. The gratitude to Xia Mingxing is self-evident.

Xia Xingxing didn't know that there was a sack of goods from Northeast China coming soon, and he was dating Li Xingxing in the small garden of Li's house.

There is no way, Li Xiuhong is worried about letting her daughter go out.

The small garden is very nice. A young man and woman are holding hands in a cluster of flowers, which cannot be seen by outsiders, hehehe!
