    ?

    Zhang Hongmei felt that she should not be too bored, so she found a seat by the window. Even though Liu Jianguo had a lot of salutes, she didn't feel crowded.

    The father and father did not sit together, and like Zhang Hongmei, they both chose to sit by the window.

    It took a staggering one and a half hours to arrive in the city, and it was already twelve o'clock. Zhang Hongmei was a little hungry.

    "Third Master, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

    "Come on, I brought food stamps."

    "Don't, I have food stamps, I'd rather keep yours for Brother Jianguo. If I don't have food stamps for the first month, Brother Jianguo will go hungry. Don't argue with me, we don't have to be so polite."

    The three of them arrived at the hotel with big bags and small bags, but they were dumbfounded.  Why are there so many people?

    Zhang Hongmei smacked and rubbed her lips, "You two wait outside for a while, I'll go in and have a look, we can't squeeze in so many things."

    "Zhong, you go. We are waiting for you under the shade of the tree opposite."

    Zhang Hongmei entered the restaurant with a satchel on her back, and glanced at what everyone was eating?  The main reason is that this girl has a choice phobia, and she might see what she wants to eat when she looks at what others order.

    But I was disappointed, the table was full of steamed buns with Erhe noodles, and there were no dishes, only a few slices of vegetable soup with unknown dishes.

    "Comrade, what are you serving today?"

    "See for yourself."

    Zhang Hongmei took a look at the supply menu on the wall, there were only steamed buns, but there was braised pork, so don't even think about the dishes.

    "Comrade, seven steamed buns, one plate of braised pork, and three bowls of vegetable soup."

    "Twenty cents for a steamed bun, five food stamps for a catty, two yuan for braised pork, two cents for a catty of meat, and two cents for soup. No tickets."

    "Then give me ten steamed buns. This is four yuan, two catties of food coupons, and one catty of meat coupons. Comrade, we have a lot of things, can you fill them out for me and eat later."

    When the waiter saw that Zhang Hongmei was using military food stamps, he spoke more politely.

    "In the middle, I'll put it out for you and put it here, and you can come over to eat later when there are fewer people."

    "Thank you, comrade."

    Zhang Hongmei went out and told Liu Maocai, then went back to the hotel, sat on the bench and waited.

    It was already forty minutes later when Liu Maocai and his father came in for dinner.

    Looking at the meat on the table, Liu Maocai glanced at Zhang Hongmei in disapproval, "It's a waste, you don't need to eat meat, and you can't eat so many steamed buns."

    "I bought everything, eat it quickly, and save the leftover steamed buns for my Jianguo brother to eat at night, and it won't break. I'm hungry, so don't talk about me, eat it quickly."

    Liu Maocai had no choice, besides, he was hungry, and it was useless to spend all the money, so let's eat quickly, and have to go to the third uncle.  If you don't go back by yourself, you should have no car.

    Zhang Hongmei only ate one steamed bun and drank half a bowl of soup, mainly because she didn't sell the whole bowl.  The two of them each ate three of them. They ate up all the meat and drank all the soup.

    "Third Master, go and do your work. I'll go to the Armed Forces Department and get hit. Don't worry about me. I've been here before and I know the place. You have to go back today, so don't look for me. I'll be back in five days."

    "Did you get it yourself? It's all my fault for not being thoughtful. I should open a letter of introduction for two days."

    "Don't worry, hurry up and get busy."

    The three separated, and Zhang Hongmei found the Armed Forces Department with a cloth bag from memory.

    The janitor stopped her, "Who are you looking for, little girl?"

    "Master, I'm here to look for Zhang Xingguo, I wonder if he's here?"

    "Who are you? What is your relationship with Zhang Xingguo? What are you looking for?"

    "I am Zhang Hongmei from Liujiatun, Kaoshan Township, Baicheng County, the daughter of Zhang Xingguo's former subordinate. Come and see him."

    "Then go in, do you know his office?"

    "I know, thank you, sir."

    Zhang Hongmei went directly to Zhang Xingguo's door and knocked on the door. It was Wang Xiaoshun who opened the door. Seeing that it was Zhang Hongmei who came, he smiled.

    "Just now the chief was talking about you, so you came here, come in quickly."

    "Thank you Brother Xiaoshun. Uncle Zhang, I'm here to see you."

    "It turns out that Hongmei is here, why do you have time to come here? What's the matter?"

    "No, it's slack now, so I'll come over and have a look."

    "It's fine."

    "Uncle Zhang, is he afraid that I will ask you for something? I'm so sad."

    "Damn girl. You clearly know that I don't mean it. Stay for a few days before going back?"

    "Ah, my letter of introduction is open for five days. I'm going to trouble you."

    "No trouble no trouble, I have a meeting in the afternoon, Let Xiaoshun send you back first?  "

    "No. I'll be waiting with you, and I'll go out for a stroll in the afternoon." In fact, he didn't want to see Zhang Shouyi and was too lazy to stay with him.

    "Then let Xiaoshun follow you."

    "No. How can I lose it as an adult? Then when will I come back!"

    "Just come back at six."

    "Okay. Then I'll go play."

    "Is the money enough?"

    "Enough. I'm not going to buy anything. This is the bacon I brought over. Brother Xiao Shun, put it away and bring it home at night. I'm leaving!"

    Zhang Hongmei strolled on the street without any purpose, just wandering aimlessly.

    I don't know how many streets I walked, but I saw a non-staple food supply station in front of me. I didn't bring much, so I had a look at what could be used as gifts.  We have to return favors.

    Zhang Hongmei was disappointed when she went inside. There were no vegetables or meat, only a few pieces of dry pastry, and a vat of soy sauce and vinegar.

    The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, turned around and left the supply station.

    Or go to the building to have a look.  Maybe there is something good.

    Wandering around to the building, there are three floors in total, which is much better than the supply station.  Department stores on the first floor, needles and threads, pots and pans, quite comprehensive.

    ? After turning around, I decided to come and pick it at the end, and then go to the second floor to have a look.

    The second floor is clothing, footwear, and cloth.

    Still decided to buy it later, anyway, I have a cloth ticket.

    The third floor is books, pens, comic books, clocks, bicycles and sewing machines, which are almost considered luxury goods.

    I bought ten notebooks, ten pencils, two pens, and ink.  One was for Zhang Shouyi, and the other was for Erya Liu.

    I also bought ten comic books, which I can read when I am bored.

    I only used two industrial coupons to buy so many things.

    Go downstairs to the second floor.  Go to the counter that sells cloth.

    "Comrade, how much is this floral cloth?"

    "Eight mao a foot, with a cloth ticket of one foot."

    "Then how much is this green cloth?"

    "Sixty cents a foot, also with a foot of cloth ticket. The rest of the cloth will be priced at this price."

    "Then give me twenty feet of green cloth."

    Zhang Hongmei took out twelve yuan and a twenty-foot cloth ticket.  As for the ready-made clothes, I don't even want to buy them. It looks too rustic to me, so I might as well make them myself.

    I also have shoes, I don¡¯t want to waste them.  Holding the things I bought, I went downstairs.

    When you reach the first floor, you will be your main battleground. You can buy whatever you see.

    In the end, Zhang Hongmei got a small iron pot and used two industrial coupons.  Ten eating bowls, ten plates.  There are also two large bowls.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
