Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang was not convinced, "My driving skills are very good now. I looked at the haystack and saw a dark shadow there?"

Da Zhuang was not afraid. He immediately shined a flashlight there and shouted coldly: "Who!"

There was rustling behind the haystack, but no one said a word.

Xia Mingshuang immediately grabbed Da Zhuang: "Don't go there!"

How could Da Zhuang not pass? This is the door of his house, what is he afraid of? He rushed over with a lunge, "Get out!"

"Ouch--" A cat jumped out and ran along the wall with its tail between its legs.

Da Zhuang sneered contemptuously, "It's the tabby cat from the production team."

It must be that the smell at home is too sweet, and it comes to beat the autumn wind.

Xia Mingshuang pushed the cart home and asked Da Zhuang to go home and close the door.

Behind the haystack, a dark shadow scurried away.

There are no entertainment activities these days. Third Sister Gu and Miaomiao have already boiled water, and everyone is waiting for them on the kang.

Seeing her coming back, Third Sister Gu expressed that she wanted to go home tomorrow.

Xia Mingshuang: "Third sister, I will take you to the commune health center for a check-up in a few days and then go back."

Recover for a while and go for a check-up in a few days. Who knows if that guy Zhan Jiayi feels sorry for his wife now that he is home?

However, Third Sister Gu felt that she had not brought any rations with her. Eating here was equivalent to eating the rations of Xia Mingshuang and the children, and she felt bad. She ate the same food as everyone else here, which was basically noodles or whole grains. It was much better than what she ate at home, and she was frightened.

The children also persuaded her to stay a few more days.

Third Sister Gu: "Then...I'll carry the rations later."

It’s not okay to eat for free.

Xia Mingshuang: "Let's talk." Now that she has many ways to make money to supplement her rations, she doesn't care so much about rations.

As long as you have money, you can go to the free market to buy food or food stamps. Food stamps in the province cost [-] cents per kilogram, which is equivalent to spending [-] cents to buy food, which is twice as expensive as the food station. National food stamps are very valuable, costing [-] kilogram, but they are mainly used when traveling out of the province.

The next day she went to the supply and marketing cooperative with a fake collar and two small bottles of jam.

Wang Jinling came very early. She had already cleaned up the oven, cleaned out the charcoal ash, and made tea for Xia Mingshuang. As soon as we met, she was very attentive and called her sister Mingshuang, just like her own sister. Most people are easily corrupted by her sugar-coated bullets, but Xia Mingshuang always looks at what people do rather than what they say. She doesn't judge people first, but if you provoke her, she will have a stronghold in her heart. No matter how sweet you talk, , she will not be deceived.

Xia Mingshuang was sober and knew why Wang Jinling was like this.

They worked for a while and waited for Zhong Lian to come over while Xia Mingshuang went to find him.

Zhong Lian is from the county town. After graduating from junior high school, he stayed at home for two years and went to the countryside for two or three years. At the beginning of this year, his family joined the county town supply and marketing cooperative because of activities. In the summer, he was sent to the supply and marketing cooperative of the commune below. His main job was to supervise the supply and marketing cooperative below to complete the tasks of agricultural and sideline products. Every few days, he would follow the car to the county or city supply and marketing cooperative to deliver agricultural and sideline products.

The capital of this province is Mingcheng, which is also a prefecture-level city, while Mao County, where they are located, is a county under the jurisdiction of the city.

Because it is close to a big city, the life of the members is much better than those far away from the provincial capital city, and it is convenient to do anything.

Xia Mingshuang asked him to help deliver the fake collar and a small bottle of jam to Expert Zhao.

Zhong Lian now admires Xia Mingshuang more and more. Look how good the two sisters are. They haven't studied for a few days, but now they can read and write. They also met experts from the city hospital.

Tsk tsk, he grew up in the county and didn’t know an expert.

Of course he is willing to help, "Sister Mingshuang, don't worry, I will take care of it and complete the task."

Zhang Danping heard this and smiled: "Go to the city hospital. There are many young and beautiful nurses there. Ask Dr. Zhao to introduce one to you."

Zhong Lian's face turned red, but he did not refuse, "If Dr. Zhao is so kind, I... of course I will be grateful."

Xia Mingshuang also laughed, "Then you run around more in the future, and everything will be easier to talk about when you get familiar with it."

Li Yaoyao has sharp eyes and a sharp nose, "Sister Ming Shuang, the jam you made? Why don't you take it out and show it to us? Why, if you give it to Expert Zhao, we will lose face."

Xia Mingshuang: "You're such a mouthful, don't I have time yet? I'll give you some steamed buns during lunch."

Li Yaoyao refused and insisted on wiping it now, "Oh, I haven't had breakfast yet. It's time to eat it now."

She took out a handkerchief from her military green satchel with a warm steamed bun wrapped in it.

Xia Mingshuang had no choice but to take out the small bottle of jam. This bottle was prepared by her, adding one-third of the hawthorn jam to the persimmons.

This taste started a series of "wow" and "yummy". Those who had eaten but didn't have steamed buns had to go to the kitchen to get a steamed noodle bun with jam to eat, which made the fat aunt say that it was a noon meal, so They eat less at noon.

Director Gao came early. He is relatively easy-going. Unlike the deputy director who likes to put on official airs and watch everyone eating jam, he also comes to join in the fun.

Zhang Danping: "Director, do you think our supply and marketing cooperative should also add this product?"

Director Gao: "It's a lot of sugar. Let's make some ourselves and use it as a welfare improvement. If we make it into jam and sell it, I'm afraid it won't sell well."

It’s both fruit and sugar, so the price is definitely high.

Regardless of the current shortage of supplies, daily necessities and basic food are in short supply, but high-end products are not easy to sell. They are too expensive and ordinary people cannot afford them because they have no money.

Take malted milk as an example, it is also a limited purchase item. People in the city buy it more, but few people in the countryside buy it. Most of the people who buy it in the past two years are educated youths and some cadres. Ordinary commune members will never buy it.

Not to mention milk powder, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside do not sell milk powder, and the milk powder in department stores in the city requires a cadre ticket or a hospital birth certificate to buy it.

This small bottle of jam is probably half a bottle of sugar, right? Nowadays, the limit of white sugar is [-] cents per catty. City residents can buy half a catty per person per month, while rural people rarely buy one catty per year.

Ordinary people can never afford it, only special people can afford it.

In this case... Director Gao has already begun to settle accounts in his mind.

The key issue is that no matter what you do now, you must have a plan. Policies and plans are set by the top and implemented by the bottom. Before I could make snacks, the supply and marketing cooperative had chicken cakes, but this jam was not available. If you want to do something that is not available here, you have to apply for it, write a long planning application, and then discuss it when the plans are made next year.

Very troublesome!

He said: "Supply and marketing cooperatives are not good. If you want to eat, you can boil your own candy. This will always taste better than candy."

Fruits in season are not very expensive.

When he said this, everyone hesitated. As a result, Director Gao himself laughed with Xia Mingshuang and said, "Mingshuang, I have a pound of sugar over there. I will get a few pounds of persimmon, apple and hawthorn sugar later. You can help me boil a few small bottles."

As for paying food or money as a thank you gift, it depends on what Xia Mingshuang likes.

We can't talk about wages at this time, but everyone should give some thanks for helping.

They hired Xia Mingshuang as a temporary worker, wasn't it because of her cooking skills? Of course, they also had to give her some benefits.

So everyone rushed forward, and no one had a pound of sugar!

Who can't get ten or twenty pounds of fruit?
