I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 178 One Month's Supply

Quickly ran to the window of the grain depot, Li Xingxing explained his new arrival, and someone behind the window said: "It's really troublesome. Isn't the flour four catties? Just give me two two-jin sticks in your hand, the one with only two sticks." .”

"That's right!" You can tell which ration belongs to by counting the number of different bamboo sticks.

Li Xingxing handed it up, and the staff asked her to pick up the flour at the mouth of the slide.

As soon as the mouth of the cloth bag was opened, several catties of flour flowed out along the slide and into the cloth bag.

Not very white, some gray.

But Li Xingxing knows that this is normal flour. After 60 years, the snow-like flour is refined, and some even add food additives to whiten it. Her family has a grain and oil store, and she knows the way of flour mills very well.

After receiving the flour, Li Xingxing followed the same method and received cornmeal, rice and sweet potato noodles in turn.

The sweet potato noodles are darker, the corn noodles are a little thicker, and the rice is actually brown rice.

At the same time, she memorized the type of lottery, so she didn't have to ask the food distribution staff next time.

Carrying more than 50 catties of grain on my back is so tiring!
Li Xingxing stepped out of the grain store holding the door frame, quickly hung the basket on the back seat of the bicycle, and said to the old lady Liu who came out a step earlier but did not leave: "Grandma Liu, hang your basket on the handlebar, and I will take you home." Family."

Just what Grandma Liu meant.

She declined and said, "How embarrassing is this?"

"It's nothing, let's drop by anyway, and I have to take the food home." Li Xingxing took the basket and hung it on the handlebars, and asked Grandma Liu to sit in the back seat, "I ride a bicycle, very fast."

How painful it is to walk with a pair of small feet carrying dozens of catties of grain!

Li Xingxing felt his scalp tingling just thinking about the pictures of his little feet that he saw on the Internet. Men in feudal society were really bad. They harmed countless women because of their deformed aesthetics.

That's when women were young, they broke their toes and wrapped them under the soles of their feet!
After sending Grandma Liu to her door, Grandma Liu opened the door and invited her in for tea, "I have something to ask."

Li Xingxing pushed the car into the courtyard, stopped the car, and followed three brick houses, "What's the matter?"

She had a little guess in her mind.

Grandma Liu whispered: "If you have a connection, can you exchange some fine grains for me? It will be calculated at the black price. I see that the situation is very serious this year, and I want to save some grains for myself so that I won't be hungry all the time. .”

Li Xingxing said: "Let me think of a way, my friend doesn't want money, only jewelry and old things."

"I have it!" Grandma Liu said, "When we moved, except for some large pieces of poor-made furniture that couldn't be moved, we sold them directly to Zhu's family, and I asked someone to move the rest of the things that could be moved. I bought it over the years, and there are also some jadeite agate diamonds that can’t be sold for money or exchanged for things, neighbors, everyone has these things.”

Anyway, she won't live until the jewels see the light of day, so it's better to exchange food for herself.

Li Xingxing said with a smile: "Then you wait for my news, I will come to you when I have news."

"Thank you, thank you very much." Granny Liu burst into tears of gratitude.

Li Xingxing waved his hand, said goodbye and went home, first put the food bag in the kitchen, and then went back to the bedroom to pour out the tickets in the envelope.

Two meat tickets with a denomination of 150 grams, two half-jin oil tickets, one half-jin sugar ticket, one one-jin egg ticket, three tofu tickets, one one-hundred-jin briquette ticket, one piece Soap tickets and [-] bath tickets, plus some supplies of daily necessities without tickets, are all the supplies that the mother and daughter can buy according to regulations in a month.

What is enough for this?Six taels of meat is not enough for Li Xingxing to stuff his teeth by himself.

Sure enough, I still have to take things from the portable supermarket to subsidize my life.
