Chapter 23 Soaring Prices
When Su Jun and Su Yue heard this, they thought, yes.

The two of them immediately felt relieved.

"Sister, it's best if you don't like him!" Su Jun was young after all. He smiled and said directly: "I will find you a good man to be my brother-in-law in the future!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand and gave him a slap: "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you two, and you still worry about my affairs? Eat quickly! Take out the dishes and chopsticks to wash after you eat!"

Su Jun didn't feel any pain after being hit. He rubbed his forehead, smiled stupidly, and started eating obediently.

He and Su Yue were both hungry.

The two of them ate quickly.

This meal made them extremely satisfied.

Thinking about going to the river to wash dishes later, Su Jun realized belatedly that the dishes and chopsticks they used were different.

Su Jun couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Sister, where did these bowls and chopsticks come from? Only people in the city can afford such bowls and chopsticks, right?"

The bowls and chopsticks they use now are smooth and smooth, and they feel particularly delicate and bright to the touch.

It's not like the bowls they used before, which were all chipped. Because they have been used for a long time, there is no luster on them at all, leaving only the roughness of cutting hands.

Not only that, because my family is poor, they rarely sell bowls.

Wang Aifen is particularly picky. She only buys five or six new bowls every year at the end of the year.

But there are many Su family members and many children, and a few bowls are simply not enough.

Sometimes a meal is divided into two batches to save on using bowls.

After the first batch has finished eating, the used bowls and water are passed through before the next batch is taken over to eat and continue to use.

Su Jun has never seen such a good bowl before.

At first glance, it looks like something only city dwellers can afford.

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she said calmly: "This was given to me by the family where I went to wash clothes in the city. They eliminated it and gave it to me. I didn't want to take it back to the Su family, so I hid it outside. Now I just got it back for use. "Su Jun and Su Yue are young after all. When they heard Su Xiaoxiao's words, they had no doubts at all.

Su Yue said with special care: "Wait a minute, I'll take it outside and give it a good wash!"

Su Jun said, "But the river has dried up, where can we wash the dishes?"

Every household in the village didn't even have access to well water.

In the city, I heard that tap water was introduced, and they still have water to drink, but I heard that the amount of water is very small.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao paused and said, "I hoarded some water and hid it outside. I will get it out later for us to use."

Su Jun admired but also looked at Su Xiaoxiao with confusion, "Sister, why have you hoarded so many things?"

Su Xiaoxiao made a sound, pretending to be melancholy and said: "Isn't this because everything is lacking now? There is nothing in the village. If I go to the city, I can get some things and I will stock them up."

Su Jun nodded in agreement, but was a little worried, "But if it doesn't rain, sister, we might starve to death, right?"

When Su Yue heard this, she immediately felt that the rice in her hand was no longer fragrant. She couldn't help but said: "I heard from Goudan that there is a riot in the city now. I heard that it is very difficult to buy rice and vegetables now."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, it was indeed such a thing.

Originally there was a shortage of food these days.

Now because of the drought, food is even more scarce.

Everyday, buying rice and meat requires money + food stamps and meat stamps. Now not only do you need tickets, but the price has doubled.

In Su Xiaoxiao's memory, the price of a pound of meat is now seven or eight yuan.

This is the 70s!
The price of a pound of meat is so high, which shows that it is really going crazy.

According to her understanding of this book, in two or three months, this place will be completely plunged into riots and the end of the world.
