Chapter 28 (1/2)
But I heard two words from my sister-in-law on Tuesday. I heard that there are coal stoves and coal, and new pots!
Last time, Lin Qinghe went to buy rice, but he bought only a few Jin of rice, which is also very expensive. He needs a lot of food stamps. But how long has it been and what is left?
Needless to say, it must be yesterday that I went to the county town and bought a lot of them.
Sesame even though, but there are ribs, which is too greedy ah, their team has not divided meat!
The last time I ate meat was last autumn harvest!
They have meat twice a year, once in this period, and again before the new year.
And then next year.
But look at Lin Qinghe. It's just that he has a lot of money!
”There are still some at home, but not many.” Zhou Dawa said as soon as she turned her eyes.
I don't doubt that a five-year-old would lie. After all, such rice is not easy to buy. There are many people in the county, but the villagers don't eat it.
Because it's too expensive. It's no worse than white face. Where can I buy it with free money? And food stamps!
They will issue some coupons at the end of the year, but these coupons do not include food coupons, only foreign oil coupons, cloth coupons, cotton coupons and so on.
At about six o'clock, Zhou Dong came back with two bundles of firewood.
Lin Qinghe wants to settle firewood, but Zhou Dong doesn't accept it.
Last night, their brothers and sisters brought home quilts in the dark. They were really good quilts. They were warm and soft. They were not like his quilts at all. They were worn, dry and hard. Although they were better than nothing, they didn't keep warm.
The quilt Lin Qinghe gave is obviously very new. At least there is such a quilt. His sister doesn't need to be frozen this winter.
As for him, he is OK. He is more frost resistant.
How could he receive more money if he took such a quilt as his aunt's? As a matter of fact, he is not going to collect any money after going to fetch firewood.
”If you don't take the firewood, I won't have it.” Said Lin Qinghe.
”Auntie...”
Before Zhou Dong finished speaking, Lin Qinghe interrupted: ”Auntie's quilt is useless. If you want to use it, you can't give it, so you don't need to think about it. Besides, you also help me to bring food back today. Xiaoxi is still at home helping to make their shoes and socks. Don't talk to me about them. They are one size at a time.”
Then he put thirty cents into him: ”remember, when winter wheat is planted, you have to get firewood back.”
”Auntie...”
”Hurry back and get some food. It's been a busy day.” Lin Qinghe sent the way, then closed the door and left Zhou Dong alone.
It's not early at this time. It's only six o'clock. It's cold and grey.
There is not much kerosene left at home. It's only a little more than half a kilogram a month. Where is enough?
Next time I go to buy meat from sister Mei, I need to ask if she has any channels, and I need to prepare more kerosene for my family.
Lin Qinghe took advantage of the time to boil some water for them.
Although the bath is one in three days, the hands and feet are washed every day.
After washing, they all caught up with Kang.
