    ?

    Watching the jeep leave Zhang Hongmei was quite disappointed.  The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows. There is no feast that never ends!

    Zhang Xingguo is really kind to himself.  Like an enlightened father.

    Back in the yard, the three main rooms and the four side rooms are my own, but I don¡¯t feel like home or belonging.

    Let's go see Brother Jianguo tomorrow, San Niang brought him some food.

    Tidy up the house all day.  I also received the money left by Zhang Xingguo, which was put in an envelope, and I must be afraid that I would not want it.

    Thinking of the old man's cute expression, he smiled unconsciously.

    There is still a lot of food, and I don't plan to stay in the city for a long time, so let's put it away.  It is estimated that this is reserved for myself.

    On the surface, he looks carefree, but he is actually as careful as a hair.

    The flowers in the yard are bundled with the straw in the space to save them from freezing in winter.  These must have been planted by Guimao Zhang Shouyi.

    Wait until I am enlightened and I will come over again, and make the yard neat and tidy, and plant a variety of flowers.

    Early the next morning, I came to the textile factory with a snakeskin bag.

    "Master, I want to find Liu Jianguo, can you call me for me, I am a girl from the same village as him."

    The janitor looked at Zhang Hongmei and kept muttering in his heart, this child is not like a rural child, he is whiter and fatter than the city people.

    "Little girl, wait a moment, I'll call you."

    "Thank you sir, I will wait here."

    After a while, Liu Jianguo ran over in work clothes.

    "Hongmei, I guessed that you are here."

    "Brother Jianguo, how are you doing now? My third mother misses you."

    "Our cotton spinning factory has been working overtime. We could have had a normal vacation this month, but now it's not. The overtime hours are longer than before."

    "Brother Jianguo, are you tired?"

    "Tired is really tiring. I am in the maintenance team. I have to be in the workshop every day. If there is a problem, I have to run there. I have lost weight."

    "My third mother brought you a lot of delicious food, all of which are in the bag. By the way, my second sister is admitted to junior high school, and she will go to the county to go to school after the Chinese New Year."

    "That's great, my second sister is so upbeat, are the two younger ones okay?" The two younger ones are older than me, so I dote on them.

    "Well, I will go to elementary school next year."

    "Fortunately, there is an older sister at home, otherwise my parents would be lonely."

    Zhang Hongmei didn't answer the conversation, it's not suitable for me to talk about the big girl.

    "Also, thank you Hongmei, I bought a watch with the watch ticket you gave me. Look, it's plum blossom."

    "You're welcome. It's inconvenient for you to go to work without a watch. Brother Jianguo, I'll go back first. You go to work quickly, and I will come to see you next time."

    "Then you slow down and go back at night?"

    "No, I have a residence in the city, don't worry, I'm leaving."

    Zhang Hongmei strolled to the non-staple food supply station, and she had a lot of miscellaneous tickets in her hand.  But it's useless to have too many tickets and nothing.

    "Do comrades have meat and eggs?"

    The salesperson looked at Zhang Hongmei in surprise, "Meat and eggs? Not even tofu?"

    Looking at Zhang Hongmei's puzzled expression, the kind-hearted salesperson explained to her, "There has been no meat supply for half a year, and eggs are only available once a month, and purchases are still limited."

    Where did Wang Xiaoshun get so much meat yesterday?  Is it the black market?

    "When will the soybean oil be available?"

    "At the beginning of the month, or there should be a supply before the new year."

    There is no such thing as fish, because there is no fishy smell.

    In the end, I only bought two catties of glutinous rice noodles and came out.

    There are a lot of people queuing up to buy grain at the grain station. Zhang Hongmei is not registered in the city and has no grain purchase certificate. When it was her turn, the salesperson frowned and said, "You can't buy grain without the grain purchase certificate."

    Zhang Hongmei was dumbfounded, but it won't work if they don't sell it to you.  Moved to the side, watching others continue to buy grain.

    I saw four catties of fine grain on the person's grain purchase certificate.  But what was given was cornmeal.

    The same is true of the latter.  And there was no cornmeal at all in the back of the line.

    "The supply of fine grains has stopped, and the next supply will be notified."

    People who did not buy fine grains complained, but no one dared to stand up and complain loudly.

    Zhang Hongmei left the grain station and stood on the street, looking at the people passing by in confusion.

      "Little girl, why are you here? I've been looking for you."

    Zhang Hongmei looked at the men in the black market and frowned. She will not be able to trade in this place in the future, and she can meet them whenever she goes out. What a shitty fate this is.

    Zhang Hongmei turned around and left, ignoring him, so she should live a low-key and honest life.  If you want to make a move, you must put on makeup before you come out, so that people can no longer recognize yourself.

    Sun Changquan looked at Zhang Hongmei who was walking away in doubt, he shouldn't have admitted his mistake?  Is it true that you have misunderstood the wrong person?  Is it because of your own eyesight that you won't travel on business?

    There are still six days left, why don't you go out by yourself?  What about three wild boars, two big and one small?

    Can you give it a try?  The letter of introduction only said the city.  I didn't write it clearly, maybe I can really get away with it.

    Thinking about it, I went directly to the train station.

    "Comrade, is there a train to City H?"

    "Yes, at two o'clock in the afternoon, arrive at five o'clock in the morning the next day, and the fare is three yuan and five."

    Zhang Hongmei took out the money and handed it to the conductor "your letter of introduction."

    ?He took out the letter of introduction again, the conductor took a look at it, and frowned, mainly because the words on the certificate were too ugly, but there was a chapter, so that¡¯s it.

    Zhang Hongmei bought a ticket and checked the time for three and a half hours.

    It's cold now, and there is no heating in the station, but there are so many people that it doesn't look cold, but the taste is indescribable.

    Let's go for a walk outside.

    After coming out, I found a black market in the street next to the station.

    After pondering for a while, Zhang Hongmei decided to take a look.

    People in twos and threes gathered together to discuss in low voices, and when they saw Zhang Hongmei coming in, someone greeted them, "Comrade, what do you need?"

    "Is there any pork?"

    "Pork?" The man sucked his teeth and shook his head.

    The few people who followed also left.

    What's going on?  "Comrade, wait a minute? Don't you have any?"

    "Comrade, I really don't have any in my hand. I haven't seen meat in half a year. Besides, I can't afford it. A few days ago, I heard that pork appeared on the black market. It costs five yuan a catty. Who can afford it?"

    "Five yuan? Why is it so expensive?"

    "It is estimated that the hairy pig costs about four yuan. I can't afford it." After speaking, he shook his head and left.

    Is pork still sold when it is so expensive?  I don't know, why don't I keep it for later.  But this pig is too fat, so it's hard to explain. If I don't know how to do it, I have to ask the fool to help kill it.

    If not, just sell one big and one small, and keep one end.

    I don't even need to ask, let alone rice noodles.

    Zhang Hongmei is in a low mood, so let's go back to the train station, because it feels uncomfortable to watch the thin person blowing away in a gust of wind outside.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
