Chapter 22 Regret the separation
"Ding ding... ding..."

The old man who sells sugar beats the small steel chisel with a small wooden cone.

Erhuazi pulled Lingbao forward and said, "Give me two servings of maltose."

Bingtang requires rock sugar tickets, white sugar requires white sugar tickets, brown sugar requires brown sugar tickets, candy requires candy tickets, and maltose receives sugar tickets.

For farmers, white sugar tickets and brown sugar tickets are very rare, and rock sugar is extremely rare. For five consecutive years, Baihe Village has only issued rock sugar tickets once.

Needless to say, candy tickets, the production team never distributed such things.

Compared with these types of tickets, the sugar ticket is the most common sugar ticket. Every household distributes it during the Spring Festival, which is more than brown sugar and white sugar.

The uncle knocked out two pieces of hard maltose and wrapped them in oiled paper, "Hey, two sugar tickets, four cents."

When Erhuazi handed out the ticket and money, Lingbao held the maltose in both hands and licked it curiously.

There were quite a few drooling children gathered around, and they were all staring at Lingbao at the moment, and many of them had their fingers in their mouths.

A little girl asked greedily, "Is it sweet?"

Lingbao licked the candy again, shook his head, "It's not very sweet."

Hearing this, the old candy seller hurriedly said: "Baby, is this your first time eating this candy? You have to chew this candy in your mouth. The more you chew, the sweeter it becomes. Try it."

"Yes, Lingbao, the malt candy is only sweet when chewed."

Lingbao picked up one piece of candy and put it in his mouth. The hard candy immediately became sweet and soft, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it became.

She handed another piece of candy to her second brother, "Sweet~"

Unexpectedly, Er Huazi was slightly taken aback by Lingbao's behavior of sharing candy with him, and said with a smile, "I'm an adult, so I don't eat candy, you can eat Lingbao."

"Sweet, delicious, and the second brother also eats." The little guy smiled innocently.

Erhuazi's heart softened for a while, with a feeling of being purified, he couldn't help reaching out to take the maltose, and then put it in his mouth.

Although he is 23, this is the first time in his life that he has eaten maltose.

When he was a child, let alone sugar, he was thankful that he could have some grains to eat at home. At that time, he never had a full meal, and he was hungry for two days after eating.

Later, when I grew up and became a father, the candy at home was either given to women or children. As a man, how could he have the opportunity to eat candy?

"Is it sweet?" Lingbao asked with a smile.

Erhuazi nodded vigorously, "It's so sweet!"

The candy seller smiled and said, "Isn't it sweet? Haha, chew slowly..."

The two left the maltose booth, and Erhuazi saw that Lingbao was eating sweets with white starch around his mouth, his eyes were full of love, and he helped her wipe the corners of her mouth.

Originally, he wanted to ask Lingbao a lot of questions, but now he doesn't want to.

No matter why Lingbao is so powerful and can make people twitch like an electric shock, what he can be sure of is that Lingbao is helping him!
If it wasn't for Lingbao, he would have been miserable today!

On the way back to the village, the people in the same carriage all looked at Er Huazi enviously and asked him how he bought the white noodles?
Er Huazi replied with a smile: "Good luck, Lingbao and I met a group of educated youths when we were shopping in the market. He had a ticket but no money, and I had money but no ticket. Let's cooperate and buy together, haha..."

"Ah! Then you spent a lot of money?"

"It's not much, just four or five yuan, which is much more cost-effective than going to the black market to buy food stamps! The white flour stamps on the black market cost [-] cents a catty, which is very expensive."

Everyone expressed envy after hearing this, "Oh, that's indeed a profit."

"It's great, I can eat white noodles during the Chinese New Year," many people swallowed, "I'm just waiting for the captain to share a bonus with the New Year's pig, and eat it with Wowotou."

"Eating Wowotou requires Captain Li to give out corn cobs. I don't know if he will give out corn cobs this year. Don't just give out sweet potatoes. I eat sweet potatoes and fart every day. Ouch, I really want to eat other things." It's..."

After discussing for a while, everyone couldn't help looking at the large bag of flour beside Er Huazi.

The yellow-toothed person sitting in the front of the car sighed, "Hua Zi, your family is really good recently. They eat meat and noodles."

Hearing the sourness in his words, Er Huazi hurriedly denied, "Uncle Niu Geng, I didn't eat any meat. I bought this noodles for my mother too. I'm just an errand."

Uncle Niu Geng felt a little better when he heard that, and patted his forehead, "That's right, I almost forgot that you and your parents separated, oops! It's really not the right time for you to split up, or you would have eaten all the food." share."

Erhuazi looked down at Xiao Lingbao who was sleeping next to him, and regret welled up in his heart, "Who said it wasn't? The family shouldn't have been separated in the first place!"

In the next few days, everyone couldn't help talking about the Jiang family's affairs when chatting, saying that the Jiang family has been eating white noodles recently. The pancakes taste old and fragrant.

"Where did you get the flour? You bought it on the black market? Black market white flour tickets are more expensive than rice tickets. I remember that white flour tickets cost [-] cents, while rice tickets only cost [-] cents."

"I didn't buy it on the black market. I heard that Er Huazi met an educated youth. Anyway, the big bag of flour didn't cost much, so it was a good deal."

In the Lin family, Mrs. Lin felt sour after hearing the words of Aunt Wang next door, and was so angry that she threw the muddy kudzu root into the water basin.

"Why do you think Shen Su'e's life is so good? How is it like me? I have to wash these things in the kitchen at such an age!" Her hands were red from the cold, and she felt cold and itchy at the moment. It's freezing."

Aunt Wang looked around, "Where's your daughter-in-law? Are you going to pick up manure?"

"Yeah, Captain Li punished her for picking shit in front of the whole village, can she not go? Now I have to hide when I see her, she smells like shit, it stinks to death! I don't know what I did in my previous life Sin, marry such a daughter-in-law and come in."

Her words were heard by Liu Damei who happened to walk in the door.

"Mom," she said loudly, throwing the pole on the ground, "I also get work points for picking manure. Although it's half of it, it's better than nothing, right?"

After being choked by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she covered her head and face and scolded: "Why are you so fierce? You still have the nerve to yell at me..."

"You and Aunt Wang scolded me behind my back, and you want me to smile and pretend I didn't hear you? I'm not the type to be bullied!"

Old lady Lin was so angry that her heart was pounding, she held her chest and said, "Who, who bullied you? Who dared to bully you? I am not married to a daughter-in-law. I obviously married a Bodhisattva. I have to burn high incense for you!"

"I go out early in the morning every day, and I'm almost exhausted picking up dung. When I come back, I have to take care of my aunt. Mother, you don't feel sorry for me, but you still think I'm dirty and smelly. Do I want to pick up dung? Isn't it because of Lingbao? It's a disaster!" Liu Damei said angrily.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense!" Mrs. Lin said, "The Lingbao is a disaster star? It is clearly a lucky star!"

Aunt Wang couldn't help but said, "I also think Lingbao is a lucky star. Since Dong Ziniang picked her up, the Jiang family has caught up with all good things."

After that, she went on about the Jiang family eating noodles, "Which family in our village can eat noodles by the end of this year? It's just the Jiang family!

Hey, speaking of it, Dongzi's father was paralyzed on the bed before, and there were five sons in his family. The eldest and second child spent all their money on marrying a wife. Their family is considered the poorest in the village. A girl is willing to marry him because she thinks his family is poor.

Now that the feng shui is turning, Dongzi's father can suddenly run and jump. He eats meat or noodles all day long. Who doesn't envy the Jiang family? "

After finishing a long series of words in a low voice, Aunt Wang said mysteriously: "If you have to say that these good things have nothing to do with that little Lingbao, I won't believe it!"
