    ?

    Lin Dajun took a few children and had dinner around a small table.  His woman went to burn the bottom of the pot for Lin Ranran. He didn't object to her warm-heartedness, but she left her man and child at home to eat dry buns and pickles!

    Lin Dajun's youngest daughter tore off the steamed bun skin and threw it on the table. After gnawing on the steamed buns, the table was full of steamed buns.  When Lin Dajun saw it, he quickly picked up the steamed bun skin, swept the dregs of the steamed bun into his palm and threw it into his mouth: "Little girl, is your chin leaking?"

    The youngest daughter pursed her mouth: "I also want to go to eat old pot meals with my mother."

    The second son laughed and said, "You're so stupid, that's called Liaoguofan!"

    Just as he was talking, the door curtain whistled, bringing in a gust of cold wind.  Lin Dajun's family rushed into the house, hurriedly picked up the egg basket that she regarded as a treasure, and ran out again.

    "What are you doing! It's midnight, what are you doing with eggs?" Lin Dajun hurriedly called her to stop.

    "Oh, you know what. Quickly set up the ladder, I'm going to dig a bucket of beans." Lin Dajun's family urged.

    "Are you bewitched?" Lin Dajun touched her forehead.

    "I'm fine! Don't you always say that you don't have a stainless steel lunch box at work, and you have to wait for me to deliver the food?" Lin Dajun's family said mysteriously.

    Lin Dajun didn't understand anymore: "What do you mean?"

    "Oh, you are so anxious to death! There will be no more lunch boxes!" Lin Dajun's family stomped their feet anxiously, and they were about to go up to the attic barn with the ladder.

    Lin Dajun hurried over: "I'll come, I'll come! Don't fall!"

    This night, seven or eight men had the same experience. Not only that, the eggs and fine grains stored at home were also taken away by their daughter-in-law.

    At this moment, those eggs and grains are all piled up in the west wing of Lin Ranran's house.

    "from Lin Gui's family, forty eggs, twenty catties of beans, and ten catties of flour." Sister-in-law Hongxia reported after counting.

    "Come on, here is what you want, a pair of rubber shoes, and three pieces of soap." Lin Ranran handed the things to Lin Gui's family.

    Now the general black market price in rural areas is 5 cents for an egg, 6 cents for a catty of beans, 7 cents for buckwheat, 30 cents for rice, and 25 cents for flour.  From here we can see the difference between rural and urban areas.  The most expensive and scarcest thing in the city is food. When it is the most scarce, rice can be bought at 80 cents a catty, but the country people lack all kinds of receipts, and they can¡¯t buy the necessities of life such as lunch boxes, rubber shoes, and soap.

    For the sake of convenience, Lin Ran decided to set a uniform price: 6 eggs for a bar of soap.  Twenty catties of coarse grains or ten catties of fine grains are exchanged for a pair of rubber shoes, and the lunch box is thirty catties of coarse grains or fifteen catties of fine grains.

    When Lin Ranran finished quoting the price, the women were silent for a moment.  Lin Ranran was beating her heart: Did she set the price too high?

    "I want a lunch box!"

    "I want it, I want it! I'll go home and get it right away, keep it for me!"

    "I want a pair of rubber shoes too!"

    This is the scene before the women rush home to get the eggs.

    Thirty catties of coarse grains for a lunch box is expensive, but why do old farmers in the countryside care about these things!

    The men in their family often go to work in the fields, and they don¡¯t have a stainless steel lunch box that can keep heat and seal, so they can only wait for the family to deliver the food.  If the whole family has work during the busy farming season, they can only eat dry steamed buns.  What the men do is all heavy physical work, and if they can't eat delicious meals, they will be exhausted!

    Women feel sorry for their men. Anyway, if you have more than ten or twenty catties of food, you can at most add more water when cooking. If you tighten your belt and starve for a few days, you have to exchange the lunch box!

    Besides, the rubber shoes are even better.  It is durable and does not enter water, unlike the cloth shoes made by myself, which wear through the soles in ten and a half months.  Like Lin Jiefang at the east end of the village, his relatives in the city gave him a pair of half-old rubber shoes, and when he was working and resting, he raised his feet, not to mention the envy of the big guys next to him.

    A pair of rubber shoes from the supply and marketing cooperative costs 6 yuan, and a stainless steel lunch box costs 8 yuan, but there are also three industrial tickets, which are not available to rural farmers.  Therefore, they were very happy with the price Lin Ranran offered.

    "The size is just right! My man has been thinking about a pair of rubber shoes for a long time, but I can't get an industrial ticket." Lin Gui's family hugged the rubber shoes and laughed.  She is a young daughter-in-law, she has a good relationship with a man, and she is immediately teased by other women.

    They all changed to soap, and they were very happy.  Some people sell soap outside, but it costs 50 cents a piece!  Usually selling eggs with supply and marketing cooperatives is only 45% of one egg, and it takes a long time to save¡ªthey can¡¯t go to the city often, and it¡¯s not worthwhile to go to the city just to buy eggs, and the money from selling eggs is not enough to go to the city!

    Now it's all right, Lin Ranran only needs six eggs to change a piece of soap.  Flour and beans can also be exchanged for rubber shoes and stainless steel lunch boxes!  It's a pity that there are only two lunch boxes, and they were given by Lin Ranran's aunt in the city.??

    In the space, there is also the pork offal that Lin Ranran bought last time. She made all of them into stewed meat and soaked them in the stewed soup to taste.  As for a large piece of pork, she paired it with Lipu taro and made it into taro sandwiched with sand.

    After working hard for several hours, Lin Ranran dragged his tired body out of the space.  It's only been more than an hour outside, and the quilt has been warmed by the hot water bag.  Lin Ranran filled the two warm water bags with boiling water again and stuffed them under her feet, making her whole body warm.

    After traveling for so long, Lin Ranran either slept in a pile of tattered quilts, or slept on a hard bed in a supply and marketing cooperative. This was the first time she was lying on a warm and thick quilt. The quilt had just been unwashed, with the fragrance of soap and sunlight  Sun-baked smell.

    Moreover, this is not a broken room with air leaks everywhere, and there are rats and insects crawling around, but a clean, safe and warm room.  There are still three hundred catties of grain in her kitchen, and there are enough supplies in the space to make money.

    The most important thing is that the things belonging to Lin Jianbin's family have already been taken back, and the original owner's name has been cleared. When the signature is signed tomorrow, she can take Xiaoqiu Xiaojing and get rid of the Lin family completely.

    Lin Ranran turned over, and next to her ears were the sweet breathing of her younger siblings.  She stretched out her hand to gently tuck Xiaojing's quilt tightly, her eyelids were heavy.

    In the past few days, she has been figuring out how to plot against the Lin family, prying things out of Mrs. Lin's mouth.

    At this moment, the biggest worry was resolved, and the tense breath suddenly dissipated.

    She thought in a daze that she must sell all her things as soon as she entered the city tomorrow and return the one hundred yuan to the old lady.  After dragging on for several days, people wouldn't think she was a liar, would they?

    She made such delicious cakes and braised pork, Gu Yuanyuan would be so happy.  But definitely not for his brother to eat.  The beautiful boy who was as beautiful as a painting appeared in front of her eyes, she must ask him, why did he run away after seeing her last time?

    Thinking about it, Lin Ranran fell into a dreamland.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
