Chapter 37

Chen Miaomiao couldn't bear to spare the money to buy a piece of soap, so she could buy as many pieces as she wanted...

Chen Miaomiao originally wanted to tell Lu Miao indirectly that she would be willing to use whatever Lu Miao was willing to use, but now...

"I still have unused ones there, so I can't use that much. I'll just take a piece first."

Unwilling to lose her place like this, Chen Miaomiao smiled at the salesperson and pretended to be calm, lowering her head to take the money.

She could afford the money for a box of soap, but she didn't have the soap tickets.

After pretending to be someone and searching around, Chen Miaomiao said, "I was in a hurry today and didn't bring my soap ticket. I think I'd better forget about this soap."

Chen Miaomiao tried to push the soap back, but Lu Miao held her hand down. Instead of her usual domineering behavior, she pretended to be coquettish and coquettish, with a soft and sweet voice, "No, Miaomiao, if you want, just get a box of tickets!" I’ll lend it to you first.”

Chen Miaomiao calculated in her mind that the tickets were so rare that Lu Miao could only buy five boxes in one go. She didn't believe that Lu Miao could come up with the sixth soap ticket.

And maybe Lu Miao gave away five boxes of soap just to show his prestige. If he could buy two boxes for two, it would be a big deal!

Thinking of this, Chen Miaomiao suppressed her worries, glanced at the five boxes of soap that the salesperson had just brought over, and said in a sheepish voice:

"Isn't this not good? If I delayed your shopping, I would feel bad..."

Lu Miao snorted: Just pretend, keep pretending.

Don’t you love learning?

Doesn’t she just ask for whatever she buys?

If she didn't let Chen Miaomiao taste what it means to shoot herself in the foot today, her surname would not be Lu!

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if I buy one less box. Who will follow whom? And when I say I have a ticket, I really do have a ticket. My family just sent it to me today."

Lu Miao pretended to be coquettish and quickly took out a handful of colorful bills from her pocket. Some of them were large and unnoticeable.

At that moment, the expression on Chen Miaomiao's face that was typical of a timid little Baihua suddenly lost its strength. After a sudden twitch, her face suddenly turned cold.

Lu Miao didn't care about her, he just gave her the soap ticket and said to the salesperson:
"Knot her first. I have a lot to buy. I'll take my time later."

Chen Miaomiao was so cheerful just now. The salesperson nodded and took the soap ticket and the whole dollar directly from Chen Miaomiao's hand without thinking much. While handing the soap box back, she gave back the three cents in change.

"Miaomiao, did you buy all of these?" Ren Bingxin came over after shopping and pushed Chen Miaomiao aside. "Why did you buy so much soap?"

Chen Miaomiao staggered, then stood up and looked at the soap in her hand, her heart bleeding.

At this moment, Lu Miao suddenly said lazily:

"Of course I bought it for use, one for bathing, one for washing clothes, one for washing hands, and the others as spares."

Ren Bingxin sighed: "You are exaggerating, wouldn't it be better if we share one piece? A piece of soap can last a long time..."

Lu Miao didn't take it seriously, "It's okay. Let's buy it first. We can't go out often."

Ren Bingxin nodded, "That's true."

Lu Miao spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she didn't care how much she spent on soap!
Chen Miaomiao was so angry that her hands shook.

Lu Miao doesn't care about money, but she does!Her money...

She didn't want to buy it!It was Lu Miao who forced her!
Chen Miaomiao didn't understand even more. Lu Miao could still be so calm even though he cheated her in front of so many people. Why, why?
Chen Miaomiao was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of so many people.

Putting away the soap, Chen Miaomiao gave Lu Miao a fierce look.

Lu Miao's back was turned to Chen Miaomiao to communicate with the salesperson, so she didn't see it. Ren Bingxin tilted her head and scratched the itch. Ren Bingxin saw the shadow in Chen Miaomiao's eyes clearly, "Chen Miaomiao, what's that look in your eyes?"

"Ah?" Chen Miaomiao waved her hands timidly and innocently, "I, I don't, I don't have any eyes..."

Lu Miao turned around when he heard the noise, saw Chen Miaomiao's expression clearly, and roughly guessed what was going on.

She laughed contemptuously and pulled Ren Bingxin around, "Leave her alone and help me take a look first. I have two snack tickets that are about to expire. Is it better to buy this Cuban candy or this chicken cake?"

Tickets are scarce and rare, and there are even fewer ways to obtain them.

For things like dim sum tickets and industrial vouchers, no one in the family works in a state-owned enterprise, so under normal circumstances, they really only get voucher resources in this area.

Of course there are exceptions, such as the black market hidden on the corner of the street.

According to the policies of the times, there is no room for the black market in the market, but even if strict inspections and crackdowns are carried out everywhere, the rich resources in the black market cannot be tolerated.

Some people want to buy, and some want to sell. Even if they take great risks, there will only be more people flocking to it.

In this era of poverty, people are reluctant to be extravagant and wasteful, and it is difficult not to be thrifty.

Ren Bingxin is like this.

Her family background was average, and because she and her brother were the only two children at home, her parents could provide food and lodging, and she was well-dressed, so she seemed to be in pretty good condition among the educated youth who went to the countryside.

Resources are precious. Ren Bingxin deliberately looked at the two dim sum coupons. When it was confirmed that what Lu Miao said was true, she calmed down and suggested:
"What do you like to eat? Cuban sugar can last longer. Don't buy too many chicken cakes. Eat them as soon as you buy them. Children are fashionable in the south, otherwise they will get moldy easily."

Lu Miao nodded and listened to her words.

After asking the salesperson, he learned that he could buy half a catty each with one ticket. Lu Miao ordered both without hesitation.

She had never eaten chicken cakes or Cuban candies before, and she really wanted to try them.

The salesperson took out the greased paper and packed it. Lu Miao looked around and used another dim sum ticket to buy a pound of White Rabbit toffee. He remembered that he had heard Gu Ying and the others chatting before, saying that tiger balm could relieve itchiness and prevent mosquito bites. He also did not forget to ask the salesperson to give it to him. She takes it.

There was also toilet paper. The toilet paper at this time was actually that kind of rough straw paper. Lu Miao had no choice but to reject it. He couldn't find anything better at the moment, so he could only convince himself to accept it.

Lin Lin bought them all at once, using several tickets and spending almost ten yuan. When Lu Miao stopped, the big bamboo basket Geng Xiaoyun carried was already filled to the brim.

The bottom layer of the frame is Geng Xiaoyun's own things, and the ones stacked on top are Lu Miao's.

Lu Miao bought a lot of things, but they didn't take up much weight. Besides, she didn't like to take advantage of others. When she left the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Ying covered the sun with her hands and suggested that everyone go to a state-owned restaurant for lunch. Said he wanted to treat me to dinner.

Lu Miao doesn't take advantage of others, but that doesn't mean she's the one being taken advantage of. She invites everyone to dinner. She mainly invites Gu Ying, Geng Xiaoyun and Ren Bingxin. These three usually take good care of her.

It's just that it's inevitable that some people will not realize it and insist on getting in front of her.
