    ?

    Zhang Hongmei entered the supply and marketing cooperative. It was still not cold inside, and three briquette stoves were lit.  It's good to have a formal job. Although no one buys anything, you can't let the formal worker freeze.  The salespersons gathered in twos and threes, those knitting sweaters, those wearing shoe soles, and those chatting while eating melon seeds.

    When Zhang Hongmei came in, no one raised her eyes to look at her. The place is only this big, and the things sold are clear at a glance. Just looking at the festive red tin kettle makes me want to buy it, but I must keep a low profile now, not only these three  I will have to live on my own for four years, but I can still have matches. I have prepared some lighters in my own space, but I really forgot the matches.  You also need to buy two pieces of soap, and put it outside to cover yourself. You must buy candles, and the kerosene lamp is really dazzling.  As for the soy sauce and vinegar, it¡¯s better to take it from the space. If it¡¯s not good, pour it into the bottle of Xiaohongmei¡¯s house. As for the salt, you can¡¯t eat it from outside. The current salt does not contain iodine, so it¡¯s not safe to eat. Besides, it¡¯s better in the space.  Dozens of tons, enough to last for several lifetimes.

    Anyway, Zhang Hongmei decided not to buy food from outside, and wait for the matter of Zhang Aiguo and his wife to be settled before buying fabrics.  This kind of thing is very important.

    As for the food supply and marketing cooperatives, there are also peach cakes, glutinous rice noodles, and trough cakes. It seems that they are all done, so forget it. If you can¡¯t, take out a few sugar bags from the space later.  The materials I made by myself are solid, Xiao Hongmei has never eaten such a meat bun.

    Zhang Hongmei walked to the counter selling matches, "Comrade, I want to buy some packs of matches, candles and soap. How much is a pack?"

    "Matches, candles, and soap all need industrial coupons. Do you have one? If you have one, a pack of matches costs two cents, a candle costs five cents, and a piece of soap costs fifteen cents. One industrial coupon can buy twenty packs of matches and ten candles."  , five bars of soap." The salesperson was not as indifferent as in the novel, and his attitude was not very good, but he was not very enthusiastic either.

    Zhang Hongmei took out three industrial vouchers and two yuan and handed them to the salesperson, "Comrade, please, I want twenty packs of matches, ten candles, and five pieces of soap."

    The salesperson picked up the money and industrial coupons, and glanced at Zhang Hongmei. Unexpectedly, the little girl was using military coupons. She took out a form from the counter and filled in the three things Zhang Hongmei wanted, and pulled a small wicker basket from it to put the  The money and the bill were pushed to the opposite side with a swipe, and the staff on the opposite side stamped the ticket, put the remaining money into the box and pushed it back.

    Zhang Hongmei was dumbfounded, can he still do this?  I have learned a lot.  I was dumbfounded after taking the money and things handed over, where should I put this?  I forgot that there are no plastic bags now, so I put all these things into the pockets of my coat awkwardly, but how do I get the buns later?  The waiter also saw Zhang Hongmei's embarrassment, "There is a cloth seller there, no ticket, why don't you go buy a cloth and make a bag yourself?"

    Zhang Hongmei was even more embarrassed, "Thank you, comrade, no need, I don't know how to sew. I'll go buy a few pieces of cloth and go home and let the villagers sew it for me." After saying that, Zhang Hongmei ran away in despair. In her previous life, she didn't even order buttons.  , let alone mending.

    ? When I came to the cloth counter, I bought three pieces of white thick cotton cloth with 30 cents for a foot long, and then I left the supply and marketing cooperative.  Seeing that there was no one on the road, I took out five big sugar bags from the space and wrapped them with the cloth I bought.

    Hastily returned to the township government compound, this meeting is still not over yet?  This Wang Jianguo really knows how to play bureaucracy.  He went into the office of the Women's Federation again, "Aunt Li, I'm back."

    "It's pretty fast, so sit here and take a break. It's almost three o'clock now, and I guess it should be over in a while, or everyone will be greedy."

    "It's not a big deal. Our Liujiatun is far away. It will take an hour for my third uncle to drive back. Aunt Li and I have exchanged sugar bags with someone. Come and try one?" Zhang Hongmei put the cloth wrapped in sugar bags on the  On the table, open it and take out one and hand it to Li Juying.

    "That can't be forced, keep it for yourself to eat, this noodle is really white, it looks rich, where did you get it?" Li Juying is really rare for this white noodle, it is made of special powder.

    "It's just outside the supply and marketing cooperative. A sister wanted industrial vouchers. I exchanged three for five sugar packets. I thought they were too thin, rich, and white, so I gave her the rest of the industrial vouchers."

    "It's not a loss for you to change. This white flour is a good thing. The flour we grind from wheat here is yellow and rough."  Change.  No way, tell her the importance of industrial vouchers yourself.

    "Hongmei, it's not easy to get industrial vouchers. If you have them in the future, you have to keep them.Well, I also eat public food, but there is only one industrial voucher every month, and some people don¡¯t necessarily have a ticket even if they have money.  "

    "Ah? That's it, I don't know, I will definitely keep it in the future." Zhang Hongmei almost burst out laughing in her heart, this aunt is really interesting, seeing how vivid her tangled and distressed expression is.

    "The candle in your pocket is about to fall out, so put it away quickly, it won't work if you fold it. You didn't bring your own style?"

    "No, I don't have a bag at home. I just bought three pieces of cloth and asked my third mother to sew them for me when I got home."

    "Bring it here, Auntie will sew it on for you. I have needle and thread here, so I will teach you by hand. The easiest way to sew a cloth bag is a flat stitch." Li Juying took out the needle and thread from the drawer, and took the cloth head that Zhang Hongmei handed over."  Now that you're done, just fold the cloth in half and sew the sides together. Do you know how to sew a needle?"

    "Thank you, Auntie. I know how to sew a needle, and I can also make a gada thread."

    "Then you have a good look at it. It is to sew from the bottom to the top. The stitches of the bag must be tight. It will be troublesome if it leaks out after it is filled."

    Zhang Hongmei stood behind Li Juying, imitating it, and saw that it took only five minutes for him to sew it up.

    "Aunt Li, I'll try next time, just watch from the side."

    Li Juying looked at Zhang Hongmei clumsily holding a needle and thread to sew, and felt very uncomfortable. This child has not been taught since she was a child. As a woman, she is not good at sewing, and she doesn't know how her life is going.  Her mother is really incompetent, she is honored to work, but it is enough to throw the child away.  Once the couple left, the child would really look like a little cabbage in the future.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
