Chapter 160, The fish is hooked, (two chapters combined into one)

The three of them walked to the food store on the side of the road, laughing and joking.

"Hurry, the food must have arrived, hurry up..."

The eldest brother was walking on the road and saw a long queue at the entrance of the grain station not far away, so he knew that the grain would arrive tomorrow.

After saying that, he hurried away and ran towards the distance.

Yang Xiaole took a look and followed slowly behind with his sister.

When we arrived at the place, there were already people lined up behind the eldest brother.

And the front was so crowded that there was no formation.

Just listen to the grain sellers drinking: "Okay, okay, don't crowd. If we don't line up, they won't sell anymore. How can we make them work like that?"

After hearing those words, the people next to me felt a little better, but they didn't leave either.

The people at the grain station also knew that talking was useless, so they just asked not to make any noise.

Yang Xiaole was not in a hurry and went to see the notice posted at the door.

I just posted it yesterday, and not only are sweet potatoes classified as whole grains, but even potatoes that are usually eaten as vegetables are also classified as whole grains.

There is a promotional brochure next to it, which teaches you various ways to eat sweet potatoes, as well as its usage and uses.

No one is looking at that thing.

Who doesn’t know how to eat sweet potatoes? Isn’t that a joke?

Looking at the crowd, there are many people in their own yards!

Among them was Mrs. Shen.

Then he smiled and teased: "Hey, Aunt Shen, you always come to buy food!"

Mrs. Shen naturally saw him and smiled naturally: "Ang, come and buy some food. We are almost out of food."

Yang Xiaole nodded and said with a smile: "Auntie, he heard that you don't always eat rations, right? He just saw someone selling sweet potatoes. Please come and buy more, otherwise the family will eat them."

Hearing that, the old lady twitched the corner of her mouth.

That would embarrass her.

Do you want to buy it or not?

If I buy it, do I really eat sweet potatoes?

If you don't buy it, Toji has no reason to borrow sweet potatoes. If you don't buy sweet potatoes when you have food stamps, and you have to go to others to buy them without asking for tickets, aren't you treating people as fools?

That kid is so bad.

I just thought that if I didn’t buy it now, I would buy it tomorrow.

Yang Xiaole naturally saw the change in the wrong party's expression, and probably guessed something in his mind.

Pretending to look inside, he said with a smile: "Aunt Shen, there doesn't look like much food! It will probably be sold out soon. I wonder when Dongci will arrive!"

The arrival time of food will become increasingly unstable in the future.

It will not be available that month.

But it’s hard to say whether it will happen by the end of the year.

Hearing that, the old lady hesitated for a while, then asked if she would stop buying. The family was really running out of food.

Then he smiled and stood quietly in the line.

Didn't I just go through a lot of effort to get to the front seat, but now I'm running away, and I'll have to come and line up soon.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he said nothing more.

You've already said that, if you come here with your face licked, don't blame him for saying unpleasant things!

When it was the old lady's turn, when she saw the wrong recipe, she opened her mouth and exchanged dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes, and said with a smile: "Mom, how can I just exchange that little?"

"It's too heavy, I can't move it back!"

"Hey, aunt, look what you said, they are all in the same yard, why don't you just give them a shout? Aren't they all there? He asked the eldest brother to help you. If the transportation is not finished, he will come again."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking enthusiastically, the eldest brother who missed the queue called out: "Brother, he came to queue. I helped aunt send the things back. She is so old and the road is very slippery. Please excuse me for bumping into her."

When the people in the courtyard know about it, they won’t be able to blame them to death!”

His words naturally attracted cheers from the people around him.

When the eldest brother heard what he said, he came out.

Yang Xiaole naturally went to help him line up.

Mrs. Shen's mouth twitched when she saw this, and she turned to the waiter reluctantly and said, "Give him another 60 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

The waiter didn't say anything when he saw this.

I took the food purchase certificate, weighed the items, gave them to her, and collected the food stamps and money.

The elder brother took the sweet potatoes back to the old lady.

The old lady herself followed behind carrying red flour and cornmeal.

After seeing the person leave, Yang Xiaole smiled and shook his head. The old lady would definitely be grateful to him in the future.

Because in the future, if you buy sweet potatoes, you will have to rob them.

No, I can buy as much as I want.

Please tell me if you can buy as many sweet potatoes as you want, then people won’t eat corn cobs, rice bran and wild vegetables as food substitutes just because they have less to eat.

Yang Xiaole and three others lined up there.

After waiting for a while, when they finally arrived in line, a man wearing a gray tunic suit came inside.

"Brother, aren't they cold? Are they wearing so little?"

Xiaoli looked at the wrong side with curiosity for a while.

Yang Xiaole took a look at this and said with a smile: "They are probably wearing woolen sweaters, or even cashmere sweaters. Those are warm."

That stuff is also sold in stores.

The price is also very good, a sweater costs more than 30 yuan, which is a month's salary.

Cashmere sweaters are more expensive, more than fifty yuan.

Whether the thing is good or not, he also has money, but if it is a problem, there is no way to wear it, and it will be easy to reveal the secret.

Slow down again.

Xiaoli said softly.

At this time, Yang Xiaole's attention was attracted by the sounds inside.

"The Grain Management Office has issued a notice. Grain will be purchased in the Middle East according to the ration. You can buy up to one-third at a time."

After hearing that, the waiter took the book that had just been crossed out and asked: "Director, what should we do?"

The wrong person took one look at it and said calmly: "Forget it, one can be sold for one-third. Okay, let's go."

Upon seeing this, the waiter agreed to Donglai and continued to weigh the elder brother.

The people behind him started to make a fuss: "What! Why can't we finish buying? Can we just buy a little? What should I do if my children are hungry? The family has run out of food."

When the Zhongshan man heard that, he mistakenly said to everyone: "It's not his decision, and he can't help it. Comrades, let's rest assured. We will definitely not be short of food. It's just a matter of batches. That year

Now that the difficulties have been overcome, what are the difficulties? Let’s say no or no! Everyone should be understanding and considerate!”

When everyone heard that, they thought about it, all the difficulties were over in the past, now it’s just a matter of a little change.

After that, no one said anything anymore.

The eldest brother replaced the food for the previous two months and that month.

The rations for both people were 37.27 jins, of which 14.9 jins were flour or rice. The total food intake for three months was 223.6 jins, including 40 jins of flour and 49.4 jins of rice, and the remainder was all very fine cornmeal.

Because the three of us ate sweet potatoes and red vegetables for two months.

With Yang Xiaole here, naturally he would not continue to eat sweet potatoes. After his instigation, all of them were replaced with grains.

Yang Xiaole carried more than 80 kilograms of fine grains on his back, while his eldest brother carried 140 kilograms of cornmeal.

The three of them walked towards home.

"Xiao Le, if you buy so much fine grains, your mother will be begging and nagging you when she comes back. She has also eaten enough sweet potatoes."

The eldest brother was walking on the road, he looked at him and smiled.

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay. When mother comes back, I'll tell him whether he came up with the idea. If she asks for permission, I'll hit him, and he'll run away."

Xiaoli said with a smile beside her: "Brother, what I called running away from home was wrong, right?"

Hearing that, Yang Xiaole smiled: "Hey, that's good, I've learned idioms! That's right, my brother will run away from home. Then he will take me with him, and the two of us will go out to beg for food, okay?"

"He's not begging~~ He's begging for my mother."
