"Mom! Why did you save so many food stamps?" Bai Xiu dragged out a jujube box from under the bed, and then took out a locked iron box from inside.
Inside the box, there were neatly stacked stacks of food stamps, including gas stamps, meat stamps, and even cloth stamps...
"Of course it's what mom has saved little by little over the years. You're not allowed to talk nonsense outside, do you understand?"
Feng Yanhong was stunned. When had she ever talked nonsense outside?
These things are probably the poultry and eggs my mother has raised over the years in exchange for these things from others.
These food stamps are very dangerous. In two or three years, the food stamps will be invalidated. Her mother's food stamps should still be worth a lot of money.
"Mom, you have to spend these food stamps as soon as possible or change them into money."
Feng Yanhong explained with a serious face: "Reforming the economy is advocated by the state. I heard on the radio a few days ago that RMB is to be issued. In less than two years, these things will be invalid."
Bai Xiu's hand that was counting food stamps suddenly stopped and he raised his head, "Isn't it possible? Economic reform is economic reform, so can the country give food to those of us who open up wasteland, farm and build the country?"
Feng Yanhong shook her head, "That's different. There are many places in the south that have subcontracted land to households, and it has been very effective. It has made great improvements in increasing production and income."
"For us, although it will be a little later, I guess it will only be in the next few years."
"What? What is subcontracting to the household?" Bai Xiu was confused by Feng Yanhong's words and didn't understand what they meant.
"The land still belongs to the state. The state contracts the land to you. At the end of the year, we will pay the grain to the state to pay for the land rent."
"The remaining grain can be sold to the state or to rice and flour manufacturers to pay you."
"Then think about it, if you have to use money to buy food from now on, what are you going to do with food stamps?"
"And I've also heard that some places have contracted out supply and marketing cooperatives. Now that the supply and marketing cooperatives are run by private individuals, will they still redeem these tickets for you?"
Feng Yanhong's patient explanation finally made Bai Xiu understand. After being in a daze for a while, she finally felt that this was the truth.
"Is it good or bad for us to contract to each household?" She thought it was a good thing. If we could cultivate dozens of acres of land, it would definitely be much better than getting a salary.
"That must be good. How many acres is a piece of land here? How much grain can be harvested from each acre? What is the price of grain now? What is your and my dad's current salary per year?"
Bai Xiu counted her fingers, becoming more and more excited, and the smile on her face became more and more obvious.
"Then if your father and I can contract a piece of land, our family can be worth ten thousand yuan in less than two years. Isn't that true?"
"It's not that fast, but it will definitely be implemented. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Boshan. He is a high school student and he must know more than me."
She actually didn't know if Li Boshan knew about it now, but she knew that her mother would definitely not ask at the moment.
"Don't go around telling people about this. We haven't heard anything about it in our province or city yet. If you say it, people might say it's a rumor."
Bai Xiu immediately nodded in agreement, she understood this!
Bai Xiu had originally brought out twenty kilograms of food stamps just now. After doing the calculation, he immediately took out another twenty kilograms of food stamps for Feng Yanhong.
"Then take twenty more kilograms, oh, and bring back some more cloth, sugar, oil, everything! Tsk~"
Bai Xiu looked at her box of treasures and suddenly felt worried.
"It took me several years to save it, and it's impossible to spend it all at once!"
Feng Yanhong then consoled her: "It's okay, Mom, let's slowly think of a solution. There is no news about subcontracting to households yet. The issue of invalidating food stamps cannot be realized in a short while."
"We can slowly think of a solution, there will always be a solution, don't worry."
Feng Yanhong glanced out the window. Li Boshan was accompanying her father and they were talking about something unknown. The two seemed to be talking and laughing.
The corners of Feng Yanhong's lips turned up slightly and she turned back, "Then I will send Ting Wan to the field department first."
Bai Xiu calculated it and realized that what he wanted seemed to be a bit too much. "Can you carry it alone? Otherwise, let your brother go with you."
"It's okay, Brother Boshan will go too."
Faced with Bai Xiu's surprise, Feng Yanhong explained unhurriedly:
"We agreed before entering yesterday that he would go to school today to ask if it is still too late to register for the college entrance examination."
"Huh!" Bai Xiu snorted softly, glanced at Li Boshan outside the window, and said nothing.
As soon as Feng Yanhong went out, she saw Lu Tingwan holding a newly hatched chick under the eaves, looking at it happily.
"This is the first time I've seen a chick that has just hatched. It's so cute."
"Sister Yanhong, does that rabbit bite? I want to touch it, but I'm afraid it will bite my hand."
"If I had known I should have taken a few more days off, your place is really nice, much better than our military region."
Lu Tingwan was as happy as a child and pestered Feng Yanhong to take her to touch rabbits.
"You can take a few more days off next time, and I'll take you somewhere else to play." Feng Yanhong took out a little rabbit from the rabbit nest and placed it in Lu Tingwan's hand.
"So small? The rabbit's eyes are really red~"
Feng Yanhong was a little dumbfounded by her surprise. She stroked her forehead and watched her stroking the little rabbit again and again. If not for the limited time, she might have wiped the little rabbit bald.
Lu Tingwan turned around and got on the bicycle. She told Feng Yanhong countless times that she would come again in the future and asked her not to forget what she said.
When Feng Yanhong put her in the car, the little girl actually wiped her tears secretly. Feng Yanhong waved her goodbye and threw the notebook to Feng Yanhong before leaving.
"Sister Yanhong, there is my address on it, remember to write to me! I will write to you too!"
"Okay!" The notebook that had been going around was finally in her hand.
When she turned to the first page, she saw Lu Ting Wanjuan's beautiful pen calligraphy. When she thought about her dog-like handwriting, Feng Yanhong blushed.
How could she have the nerve to write to someone with that kind of word?
The salespersons at the supply and marketing cooperative still looked bad when they saw Feng Yanhong, but this was their duty, and because they had been sent to the agency for treating things differently, they had also received criticism and education.
Looking at the various tickets in her hand, she hesitated.
"Why do you want so much food? Can you eat it all?"
Feng Yanhong smiled politely and pretended to explain: "I can finish eating, but I haven't had any guests recently, so I need to prepare more things."
Things were piled up into a mountain in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Boshan went to school first and agreed to let her wait in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. When he came to pick her up and go home together, Feng Yanhong bought two more bottles of soda and simply sat down in front of the door to wait for him.
