"After a month or a month and a half, you can see if you can send some fine food over there... You can take the money first. If it's not enough, I'll ask you to supplement it first, and then I'll give it to you when I come back."

"This is a small matter. I also treat Comrade Xiaobao as my own sister..."

Hu Zhiyuan nodded and patted Fu Jingyou on the shoulder:
"Since you plan to go, study hard. It will be a serious way out in the future."

A monthly salary of 25 yuan and various subsidies.

Compared with the members of the production team who scavenged for food in the village, they really had to cross many class barriers.

Fu Jingyou said "hmm", gave Hu Zhiyuan some instructions, then turned and left.

I took most of the nuts and snacks I bought yesterday to the coal factory, and there was not much left at home.

Fu Jingyou went around to the department store again.

In just one night, there were several more small boxes at the dried fruit counter in the department store.

It looked like dried grapes inside.

Fu Jingyou quietly touched one and tasted it. It was soft, a little chewy and very sweet.

Lu Miao loves sweet things.

"How do you sell these grapes?"

"These are raisins. They are newly shipped from XJ. They cost [-] cents per pound. No tickets are required."

"Then weigh me two kilograms, no, three kilograms. I also want some walnuts and pine nuts, as well as some melon seeds and peanuts."

"Okay."

The saleswoman neatly weighed the raisins on the scale, wrapped them firmly in oil paper, then turned around and shoveled the walnuts with a special small shovel:
"Comrade, are these enough?"

"Let's shovel a few more times."

"Eh."

……

After finishing the explanation, I bought enough food for Lu Miao, and I still had 30 yuan left in my hand.

Fu Jingyou went home carrying a heavy basket on his back, thinking about using the remaining money to prepare more rations to carry at home.

With this thought in mind, he did so in the next few days.

To buy grain at the grain station, you must present your grain and oil certificate and grain coupons. Coarse grains cost eight cents per pound, and fine grains cost one dime and two cents.

In terms of quality, for example, finer-ground rice costs [-] and [-] cents.

Fu Jingyou does not have a grain and oil certificate, so he can only buy grain on the black market.

The price of fine grains on the black market is mostly five cents or six cents per catty. The former is for brown rice, and the latter is for polished rice.

If you can give food stamps, the price can be a little lower. If you don't have food stamps, it's basically the same price.

Fu Jingyou bought [-] kilograms of polished rice and [-] kilograms of fine noodles twice in two days and kept them at home.

There were only some fine grains left at home.

Paired with whole grains, even a family of two can eat it for more than two months.

In addition to buying food, there are also cleaning the gutters behind the house and storing enough firewood for the home.

In the vegetable plot in front of the house and behind the house, I have not forgotten to plant seasonal vegetables.

Lu Miao always disliked the few free-range chickens at home. They would run around and poop them everywhere.
Fu Jingyou cut down a few bamboos and came back, temporarily split the bamboo strips, and woven a cage with straight boards.

A few adobe bricks were placed on the steps of the backyard to raise the cage. After the cage was placed and fixed, a chicken coop was placed inside, and then the three chickens were stuffed inside.

There are gaps between the cages, and poop and other things can leak in. When cleaning up later, just stick the broom in and sweep it.

Fu Jingyou felt that he was almost ready, but he was afraid of leaving something behind. He groped around with his hands and rubbed them randomly, walking back and forth in front of and behind the house.

Lu Miao was a little annoyed by him hanging around, so she asked him to set up the bed where Tian Guihua was sleeping in advance.

Lin Lin was slowly tidying up, and Hu Zhiyuan from the county came to run errands.

The county reimbursed the tickets. Hu Zhiyuan traveled around the village to confirm that the main selected people were going, and then collected the household registration pages to buy tickets.

Afterwards, Hu Zhiyuan sent the tickets one day in advance, and Tian Guihua also carried Minjie back with large and small bags.

Tian Guihua came over to see Lu Miao.Tian Guihua carried back all the brown sugar nuts that Fu Jingyou had mentioned earlier, along with a thin strip of fat and thin pork.

This is a great gift.

Lu Miao originally wanted to make Tian Osmanthus some sugar water to drink as a treat.

However, Tian Guihua knew that Fu Jingyou would be traveling far away tomorrow, and the young couple would definitely have endless things to talk about.

After coming over to put down the things and chatting for a few words, Tian Guifen said she would come back tomorrow, waved her hand and went back to the He family.

However, in fact, there were not many words between Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou before departure.

The two people were on the same screen, but they were both silently busy with their own affairs.

Time passed by into the night.

After washing and sitting on the bed, Lu Miao automatically took out the small bag containing the money without Fu Jingyou having to say anything.

"Bring the lamp over and light it."

Lu Miao likes to wear single clothes before going to bed at night, so she occasionally lights the stove at night.

Fu Jingyou was adjusting the stove damper. When he saw Lu Miao waving, he stood up and patted the unnecessary dust on his palms. He walked over to the bed and sat down with a kerosene lamp in hand.

The existing food stamps at home are from province H and cannot be used in Tianjin.

Lu Miao counted an extra ten yuan for Fu Jingyou. The original 50 yuan for him in four months has now become 60 yuan.

Lu Miao handed over the money, and Fu Jingyou looked away from her belly, picked at ten yuan, and pushed the rest back to her.

"It's enough to bring these. Hu Zhiyuan said there is a canteen over there. You only need money to eat, no tickets required."

Lu Miao asked him: "Did he tell you how much a meal costs?"

Fu Jingyou said nothing.

Lu Miao glared at him angrily and pushed the money to him again:

"Bring more insurance and bring back any you can't use up, eh?"

Fu Jingyou didn't take it, stared at the remaining money in her hand and asked:

"You gave it all to me, how much is left at home?"

"There are still about three hundred yuan."

Fu Jingyou nodded slightly, knowing that Lu Miao had included her own money in it.

He picked and took another 20 yuan, but refused to take the rest. Lu Miao glared at him:
"Money makes it easier to do things. It's late at night, so don't be so angry that it makes my stomach hurt!"

Fu Jingyou had no choice but to collect all the money.

The new clothes she made at the end of last year, Chen Guifen sewed a buttoned purse inside the clothes, which was perfect for holding money.

Lu Miao was satisfied after seeing Fu Jingyou pack the money.

She collected the remaining money and stuffed it back into the corner of the cabinet at the end of the bed.

Lying on the bed with Fu Jingyou, she pressed her face against his chest and kept talking with her little mouth:

"You should also pay attention to hygiene when traveling far away. The weather is getting hotter soon, so you need to change your clothes frequently and wash them frequently."

"You need to bring your toothpaste, toothbrush, and brushing jar. There are also several bars of soap at home. You bring two, okay?"

"it is good."

"Tinmen is an industrial city, as prosperous as the capital... Do you know Fu Jingyou?"

Lu Miao looked up at Fu Jingyou, who said "hmm" and kissed her forehead.

"Why don't you call me Brother You?"

"..."

Lu Miao's face turned a little red.

"It's okay to bark occasionally, why don't you keep barking?" (End of Chapter)
