The tough life of a beautiful educated young girl from the 1970s who married a rough man

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xiao Gang also went to buy shoes.

Only then did Shen Zhiqing notice that his shoe had two holes.

When I saw him trying on the shoes, I couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, Xiao Gang explained with a hearty smile, "It was pierced when chopping firewood in the evening last night.

Shen Zhiwei nodded, "Well, shoes are quite expensive in the countryside."

After buying the shoes, Xiao Gang counted the money and tickets in his pocket, and said to Shen Zhiwei, "I still have to go to the grocery store to buy some meat and candies to bring back to the village. Can we go together?"

Shen Zhiwei happily responded, "Okay, I haven't been there yet."

Xiao Gang took her around to the back of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was similar to a modern vegetable market, and there were a few big red letters written on it: non-staple food store

It specializes in selling chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits and sugar.

Many people were queuing up to buy meat, and Shen Zhiwei and Xiao Gang consciously stood behind the line.

"My unit issues one-jin meat coupons every month. This time I came here to buy meat on the way back. If you don't buy it after the expiration date, it will be invalid."

Shen Zhiwei sighed, "There is very little meat in a catty, and I only cut a few pieces."

Xiao Gang nodded, and laughed at himself, "Well, the main thing is to buy it back to extract oil. There is no meat in the village, and I don't have any oil for cooking."

He has a gentle temper and doesn't put on airs.

Also somewhat similar to Xiao Chen, Shen Zhiwei unconsciously developed a fondness for him.

No need to wait too long, they line up in front of the meat stall very quickly.

"Sister, give me some fatter ones." A middle-aged woman in front disliked the piece of meat that the salesperson cut for her and brought a lot of thin ones, and wanted her to cut another piece.

Unexpectedly, the salesperson who sold the butcher had a bad attitude. Not only did she not want to make another cut, but she even reprimanded her.

"Second-class meat is the one with the lean side. We all sell it like this. Buy it or not, and go if you don't buy it. Don't hinder my work!"

Condescending, arrogant attitude.

"Okay, let's take this." The woman who bought the meat didn't dare to argue with her, so she paid for the meat and left.

"Sister, give me a catty of first-class meat."

When it was Xiao Gang's turn, he took out a pound of meat tickets and eight cents.

The big sister who sold pork looked up and saw that Xiao Gang was a handsome young man, and immediately put a smile on her face.

"Hey, okay."

The salesperson cheerfully collected the ticket and money, sliced ​​it on a piece of pure fat meat, and threw it on the scale. It was exactly one catty, no more, no less.

It seems that this is a job that practice makes perfect.

She tied it with a piece of straw and handed it to Xiao Gang, and said casually, "Young man, bring your new wife to buy meat. You two are really a match. I have never seen such a perfect couple."

"Sister, I'm leaving."

Xiao Gang immediately took the meat and led Shen Zhiwei away from the stall.

After being teased by the big sister who sells pork, both of them were slightly moved.

Xiao Gang apologized slightly, "Shen Zhiqing, I'm sorry, the elder sister didn't understand the situation just now, and there are too many people here, so it's inconvenient for me to explain."

Shen Zhi smiled, "It's okay, she doesn't know us anyway."

She just came to the county for the first time, and she didn't know anyone, so there was no need to take it to heart.

What's more, she traveled from the 21st century, so she is not that thin-skinned.

"Thank you for understanding."

Xiao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to take Shen Zhiwei to buy a few catties of candy, saying that he would bring it back to the village and distribute it to the children.

Shen Zhiwei bought a few pastries with a non-staple food ticket plus two yuan, there were several packages, and handed two packages to Xiao Gang

"Comrade Xiao, thank you for inviting me to lunch at noon today. I will give you this pastry as a return gift."

This time Xiao Gang did not refuse, and accepted the pastries she gave.

Shen Zhiwei accepted it happily.

The two passed by the fruit stand, Xiao Gang bought four apples, and gave one to Shen Zhiwei, "There is no apple seller in the village, don't miss it when you pass by, you should try it too."

"Thank you." Shen Zhiwei also accepted it politely.

Residents buy vegetables and fruits with a limited supply based on tickets. They are all very common vegetables, such as radishes, wax gourds, and pumpkins.

Fruits are also common oranges, apples, and bananas.

After walking out of the non-staple food market, Shen Zhiwei asked Xiao Gang casually, "Comrade Xiao, if we sell the vegetables from our private plot here, we can sell them for a lot of money, right?"

Xiao Gang sighed. Individual farmers are not allowed to sell vegetables here. The vegetables on each family's private land are usually sold during the commune's market, and the output is not much. They are all common vegetables and can't be exchanged for a few dollars. "

Shen Zhiwei sighed, and continued to ask, "If the production team collectively grows vegetables and sells them, can they sell them here to generate income?"

Xiao Gang smiled approvingly, "Shen Zhiqing, you have a good idea, but at present the labor force in the village is limited, and most of them are invested in rice planting, and the sideline business can only be generated after the autumn harvest, but it is too difficult to expect to sell vegetables to generate income .”

"If you sell some special vegetables and fruits, can you sell them at a high price?"

Shen Zhiwei had an idea in his heart.

If the cherry tomatoes and strawberries in the space are planted, there should be market demand for selling them here, and the consumption capacity of residents is still acceptable.

Xiao Gang nodded, "You have a good idea, but there are no special seeds at present. I just went to the seed station to buy some newly cultivated high-yield soybean seeds, and I plan to plant them for the team to see if they can increase the yield."

Shen Zhiwei hummed, thinking about her own planting plan.

Although there are a lot of eggs and rice in the space, they can't be sold for money. She will live here for several years.

The most reasonable and legal way to make money is to grow new fruits and vegetables.

If the planting is successful, you can cooperate with the production team, and taking common prosperity is also a feasible solution.

Those educated youth teammates can be regarded as difficult brothers and sisters. If you give them a hand, everyone will be able to survive the hard life in the next few years.
