I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 29 Shopping alone
A child with a mother is like a treasure. Li Xiuhong pays for everything Li Xingxing buys.

Extravagant, without hesitation!
Li Xingxing held her arm and continued to act coquettishly: "Mother, it looks like we won't be able to go back in the evening. Let's go to the hotel to reserve a room, unload the things there and then go shopping. It's easier."

Aren't you tired of carrying dozens of pounds?

She was tired anyway.

Li Xiuhong doted on the authentic: "Mother listen to you."

The mother and daughter transferred to a large-scale guest house and handled the accommodation with a household registration book and a letter of introduction.

Li Xingxing chose the best double room, one for two a night, on the third floor, with a separate bathroom.

"Mother, you must rest, you must be exhausted all the way." Li Xingxing spread out the half-new and patched quilt, pressed Li Xiuhong on the bed, and took off his cotton shoes, "I asked the waiter to order hot water, and I bought a new one. The underwear is ironed, washed and washed."

She has a sweet mouth, can talk, and compliments the waiter almost unable to find Bei.

"The thermos can't be broken, and a pot of hot water costs one cent." All are charged.

"Don't worry!" Li Xingxing rolled his eyes, and then sighed, "We came to the city to visit a sick relative, and we brought some refined grains, but they moved out without saying hello."

Hearing the word "fine grain", the young waitress said enviously, "fine grain? You actually have fine grain?"

Li Xingxing smiled, "Just a little bit."

"Even a catty is good. You don't know how short the supply is in the city. Although the original ration supply of 25 catties for an ordinary adult citizen has not been reduced, cornmeal, which is a coarse grain, is classified as a fine grain. Rice noodles, poultry eggs, and eggs are almost I can't see you." The waiter sighed, she hadn't bought any good things like rice flour for three months.

"It's much more stable than our country life, at least you don't have to worry about running out of food all the time." Li Xingxing appropriately showed a hint of envy, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb your work."

Carrying the kettle back to the room, she found that Li Xiuhong was exhausted and fell asleep.

Li Xingxing is overjoyed!
Cover Li Xiuhong with the quilt, wash her underwear and hang it on the chair, remove the rice noodles from the basket, put a note in Li Xiuhong's hand, and then go to the bathroom to fill the basket with some things from the wholesale supermarket, and go shopping alone!

Someone is following, and it is inconvenient to do anything.

As she strolled around, she found that the only bustling streets were the Cross Streets, and in the more remote areas of the city, there were also simple adobe houses thatched houses, and many residents with yellow skin and ragged clothes.

Fat man, I haven't seen one.

Turning around, Li Xingxing turned around the bustling place.

Might as well meet the hostess waitress who just got off work, and her eyes fell on the covered basket behind Li Xingxing.

Even though Li Xingxing covered half of her face with a scarf after going out, she was still recognized by her.

Clothes and baskets can't go wrong.

Three steps and two steps came to Li Xingxing, the waitress pulled her to a remote place, lowered her voice and said, "Sister, do you have fine grains for visiting relatives in your basket?"

She didn't forget what Li Xingxing said at the reception.

Li Xingxing moved in his heart and nodded with a smile.

The waiter's eyes flashed, and he quickly asked, "Can you sell me some?"

Li Xingxing asked back: "You have monthly supply, do you need to buy it?"

"Why don't you need it? Although there is no policy, the supply of eggs and meat to ordinary citizens has long been stopped, and only cadres can enjoy it. Rice and standard noodles, which only account for 30% of the supply, I told you. , I canceled it long ago, and I can't buy it if I didn't cancel it." The waiter explained quickly, and continued to whisper: "You can sell it to me, and the price is up to you."

Li Xingxing was embarrassed: "I don't want to sell it, after all, it's something that money can't buy."

Grandpa specially explained this history to her. During the three-year difficult period, the price of food was the most insane. In the later period, the food stamps in Yanjing soared to four or five yuan per catty, and the price of food was only high.

Seeing that Li Xingxing was not very firm, the waiter continued to say: "You can do it, I'll give you five yuan a pound!"
