Chapter 16 Want to go to the black market to exchange food stamps

After working in the space for a long time, Lingbao felt very sleepy, so he put two bags of flour beside the bed, lay his limp body on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, Shen Su'e was worrying about food for the next few days.

All the sweet potatoes at home were eaten up, and only the wild dog meat was left frozen in the snow.

Although dog meat is good, it can't be eaten every day. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. After eating dog meat for a few days in a row, except for Lingbao, the whole family began to have diarrhea.

"How about I exchange dog meat and people for some food?" Jiang Qingshan said.

He is not on crutches today, and his walking posture is almost the same as that of a normal person.

"Hey! It's the end of the year, who in the village still has food in exchange? Everyone is eagerly looking forward to Captain Li's dividends, grain and pork."

The food in Shen Su'e's mouth refers to sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts and corn on the cob, excluding rice and flour.

Baihe Village grows wheat, and every year after the team leader pays the public rations, the amount of flour delivered to her family is only about [-] catties.

When the family was not separated before, the whole family had more than ten mouths to eat. If they ate noodles every day, no matter how economical they were, they would still be able to eat for two or three months.

Because there is not enough to eat, no one is willing to eat.

Like everyone else in the village, Jiang's family went to the grain store to exchange miscellaneous grains as soon as they got the flour. More than 400 catties of flour were exchanged for more than 1000 catties of sweet potatoes.

Hearing the conversation between his father and mother, Si Haizi thought of the matter of flour, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Why don't we say that we farmers are suffering? We have worked hard for a year to grow wheat, harvest wheat, and dry the grain. In the end, I didn’t get a single white flour bun.”

"Okay! It's good to eat sweet potatoes, but you still want to eat white noodles, you're so beautiful!" Jiang Qingshan patted his fourth son on the head.

Shen Su'e hesitated for a long time, and said, "I think, why don't you let San Leizi go to the town tomorrow, and go to the black market to buy some food stamps, how about it?"

"Ah? Go to the black market? If you are caught, you will go to jail!"

"As long as you don't get caught, it's fine! Last year your elder brother went to the black market to buy food stamps, isn't it all right?" Shen Su'e said to Si Haizi.

Jiang Qingshan thought for a while, "Don't let San Leizi go, I'll go! If I'm caught, I'll pick up cow dung for at most two years. It's okay. San Leizi is different. If he is caught, he will be fine." It’s good to marry a daughter-in-law.”

"Your body is just right..."

Jiang Qingshan kicked his legs with a smile, "I'm fine now, nothing has happened, maybe I can run faster than you."

"Father, what did you eat? After eating dog meat, I feel that it doesn't work. I still had a stomachache yesterday. Why do you look like you have eaten an elixir?"

The door was knocked several times at this moment, and Erhuazi's voice came from outside, "Father, mother, it's me, I'm here to see you, dad, are your legs better? Dad..."

Several people in the room looked at each other, "Why is Second Brother here?"

"He must be here to ask for dog meat." After Shen Su'e finished speaking, she seemed to have an idea and asked Si Haizi to open the door and bring someone in.

Not long after, Er Huazi walked into the room, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at his mother, "Mother, it's almost Chinese New Year, I'll come and see you!"

Walking to the edge of the kang, he saw his father, and immediately asked courteously, "Father, how are you doing? I wanted to see you a few days ago, but I haven't been free."

"Stay at home with your wife if you don't have time, what are you doing here?"

Being choked by his father, Erhuazi coughed twice in embarrassment, "Well, my wife has a big belly and is very greedy. She thinks about dog meat every day and wants to taste that taste. I can't help it. , that's why I'm thick-skinned..."

"Tsk! I knew you weren't that filial! Why don't you come to see us? If there's nothing in this house, you probably won't bother to come here all year round."

"What's the matter? I really want to come, and I want to bring some wine to celebrate. It's my wife who refuses, oops! Anyway, I don't know how happy I am to see Dad, you can get out of bed and walk, really! If you tell nonsense, you will be struck by lightning!"

Shen Su'e interrupted his chattering, "Okay, don't talk about these useless things, since you are here to ask for meat, let's do a business, if you find a way to go to the black market to exchange some food stamps for me, I will give it to you How about two catties of meat?"

Er Huazi was stunned, "Huh? Go to the black market? If you get caught..."

"Be smart, run away when you see someone coming to arrest you! If you are not happy, then I will go to your elder brother, he will definitely be happy."

"I'll go, I'll go." Er Huazi said hastily.

His mother nodded, "Yes, then it's settled! Tomorrow you come to me to get the money, and then take the production team's car to the town, buy food stamps, you can directly exchange them for rice or flour and bring them back."

"Will Captain Li say anything about buying tickets?"

"Who in our village has never been to the black market to buy food stamps? Captain Li married a wife a few years ago, and his father also went to the black market to exchange food stamps. Otherwise, where did his family get rice as a bride price? Every household does this, he What can I say about you?" Shen Su'e said.

Erhuazi thought it made sense, and nodded, "That's right, let's do it! Mom, let's make an agreement, two catties of meat..."

"I can't miss you!"

Several people talked for a while, Erhuazi looked around, "Huh? Where are Sanleizi and Wuchaozi? They won't go up the mountain again, right?"

"They went to dig kudzu roots in the mountains with the Wang family next door, what's the matter?"

"No, I thought they were going to catch wild dogs again," Er Huazi said, "Speaking of which, ever since Mother picked up the doll of Lingbao, I have been very lucky. Even if I picked up wild dogs, Dad can also catch wild dogs." Down to walk."

Shen Su'e said with a smile: "My precious girl is Fu Xing, her parents don't know the goods, so they lost her, and you don't know the goods, so you must split up. Our family's good luck in the future has nothing to do with you."

Er Huazi knew his mother was angry with him, "Why is it okay? After all, I'm her brother too!"

After finishing speaking with a hippie smile, he asked, "Should I take a look at my lucky star sister before I leave? What is she doing in the house? If she's bored, you can let her play with Fugui in my family. It's considered a companion."

"I guess she's sleeping in the house, so don't disturb her!"

After Jiang Qingshan finished speaking, his wife said, "Lingbao has been sleepy for the past few days. Maybe it's too cold. I have to make her a jacket quickly."

Saying so, she began to search for rags again, "Er Huazi, did your wife take away all the cloth at home?"

"I didn't take it! How can there be any cloth at home? I also lack cloth at home..."

Er Huazi walked into the room while talking, and saw a small head exposed under the quilt. The cute little girl was leaning sideways, her little mouth was slightly pouted, and her chubby face was rosy. On the whitish pillow.

Seeing Lingbao like this, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, what kind of monster was he thinking about?She is obviously a beautiful milk doll, but that Liu Damei is talking nonsense with her daughter-in-law all the time!

Guessing that the child must be bored before going to bed, Er Huazi stepped forward and asked, "Lingbao? Do you want to come to my house to play?"

Before continuing to approach, he suddenly felt something kicked by his feet, lowered his head in doubt, and saw two sacks tied tightly with hemp rope.
