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

Zhang Danping's suggestion was reasonable: "This is the Winter Solstice month, and in ten days it will be the Winter Solstice Festival. Why can't our commune give the children something sweet?"

Deputy Director: "Don't the supply and marketing cooperatives have candy bars? With so much sweetness, their parents are not willing to buy them."

Zhang Danping curled her lips, the deputy director just liked to pour cold water on her, even a basin of ice in the middle of winter. Can candies be compared with candied haws? A candy costs two cents, and a candied haws cost two and a half cents. Doesn’t this mean that the market is not allowed to open in an open and honest manner? If there is a market, look at the members who are doing New Year's shopping in winter and don't buy a candied haws for their children.

Five in a bunch, [-] in a bunch, even if I have no money, I will buy sweet mouth ones for my children.

Besides, even if there is no market now, there are still supply and marketing cooperatives. People come and go every day, and there are always a few cooperative members who are willing to buy them back for their children and wives.

If the commune members from the brigade below don’t come to buy it, there will always be people in the commune who buy it, and there are also people who are paid. It’s still affordable to buy two candied haws in ten days and a half.

If that doesn't work, she'll pay three in a bunch for seven cents a bunch.

My own commune produces sugar and hawthorn, and the money from the sales is used by my commune to subsidize food. What's wrong with that?

Hey, now I just let my superiors take care of everything, and I don’t have any autonomy. Otherwise, I will disobey the arrangements, which is really very restrictive.

Director Gao smiled and said: "Then let's collect our own share, do less, and everyone can take it back and share it for themselves. This is fine."

Zhang Danping likes Director Gao the most. He always has a way to make everyone happy.

The deputy director also wanted to say that this was against the rules and what happened, but Director Gao told him not to be too nervous.

Director Gao: "The central government also issued instructions before to once again relax control over farmers' private fields, vegetable gardens, and raising chickens, ducks and geese. Let's just eat the candied haws on our own. It's not a big problem."

There is a middle school in the commune. It is not impossible to make a batch of candied haws on a stick and let the students come over and buy some sweet mouths.

The deputy director was still insisting, "Don't we also have sour plum powder and candies, which can also be used to sweeten your taste? Why do you have to make them yourself? There is no such instruction from above."

The products and prices sold by each supply and marketing cooperative are set by the county commerce department above. You cannot make changes without authorization, nor can you add or withdraw any products without authorization. You must report them.

This kind of rigid one-size-fits-all policy is very inconsistent with the market situation in various places. Some flexible cadres will make adjustments on their own, but the deputy directors are more rigid.

Since Director Gao agreed, everyone was unhappy and ignored the deputy director's opinion.

Xia Mingshuang's hat and scarf caused a small sensation in the supply and marketing cooperative. Women of all ages came to have a look. They felt that the wool was good, the patterns were well knitted, and it was thick.

It's a pity that their supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have any yarn!

They couldn't buy it even if they wanted to, so they had to rely on connections to buy it in Mingcheng.

This favor cannot be used at any time. After all, I have many relatives and friends who ask me to buy yarn, and I cannot always give it to them once.

Li Yaoyao liked it at first sight. She still had wool at home and wanted Xia Mingshuang to help her knit.

Xia Mingshuang: "I don't know how. My third aunt knitted this."

Li Yaoyao: "Then let your third aunt knit one for me." She blinked and gestured towards Xia Mingshuang. She was willing to pay the wages, as long as the deputy director didn't know about it.

In fact, the deputy director may also know, but he cannot catch the current situation and can only turn a blind eye.

Xia Mingshuang: "How about I teach you how to stitch and you can knit it yourself."

Li Yaoyao curled her lips, "Who bothers to knit this? It's so annoying. I also asked someone to knit my sweater." There are few people in the countryside who can knit sweaters these days, and even fewer who can knit beautiful patterns. Li Yaoyao is so beautiful, she doesn't want anyone who doesn't look good. Her mother only knew how to knit simple front and back stitches, but she didn't like it, so she paid someone to knit it for her.

Xia Mingshuang found that her outlook on consumption was very avant-garde. Most of the members now put money first, and those who can bear the consequences themselves should not let their money suffer. For example, they would rather walk dozens of miles to the city on their legs than take a car.

This means that people can suffer, but money cannot.

Li Yaoyao spends money as long as she can get things done.

She felt that anyone weaving with would be a weaver, and Xia Mingshuang could make money by weaving with Xia Mingshuang, so she was more willing to do it.

Xia Mingshuang thought that if her third sister couldn't stay idle at home, why not help with knitting so that she could make some money? She didn't say anything, "Then I'll go back and ask if my third sister would like you to bring some more yarn."

At this time Zhong Lian drove back and someone shouted that the potatoes had arrived. He quickly went to the small blackboard and added that everyone should buy potatoes in the next few days.

Director Gao asked everyone who was idle at the moment to go to the commune streets with loudspeakers and shout, asking every household in need of potatoes to come and buy them quickly.

The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have that many places to store it, so if you don't store it properly, it will be troublesome if it freezes.

Hongqi Commune does not grow potatoes, so they trade cabbage with other communes. A large truck was brought in early in the morning.

In winter, the main local dishes are cabbage and radishes. If the best ones are available, spinach and leeks can be covered with straw. In order to enrich the dishes, buy more potatoes.

Of course Xia Mingshuang also wanted to stock up.

She has planted a lot of radishes and cabbages in her family's private vegetable garden. The radishes have been harvested long ago and buried in the palm-sized vegetable field outside the east window. Burying them with sand can protect them from chaff. If they are not buried well, the chaff will fall off.

Xiaoxue collected cabbage at that time and stocked half of the house. Although the local temperature is low, it is not as cold as in the Northeast for several months. Therefore, most people do not store sauerkraut. Instead, they keep the cabbage fresh in the house and eat it as they please.

Xia Mingshuang asked for a bag of potatoes and asked Zhong Lian to deliver it, but she couldn't carry it.

Zhong Lian went to pick up potatoes today and did not go to the city. Xia Mingshuang asked him to bring the candied haws to him tomorrow.

Zhang Danping took the opportunity to ask Zhong Lian to take the approval slip from the supply and marketing cooperative to buy several large baskets of hawthorns from the market. There was a commune over there that specialized in planting orchards for work. Those who have given enough tasks are left behind by the collective. They don’t like to eat the things they grow themselves, so they all sell them.

Many of the hawthorns they eat in their county come from there, including the fruits they use to make jam.

The supply and marketing cooperative also brought a batch of sweet potato vermicelli, which were tasks assigned by the brigade below.

After handing it over, the supply and marketing cooperative must send it to the higher-level supply and marketing federation to deliver it to the city or county. It can also keep some of it for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Xia Mingshuang had a share of five kilograms and two kilograms of rewards, so he bought them all.

Now she can earn money for making fake collars and making jams. Desserts and candied haws are included in her salary, but she spends money ruthlessly. She buys wool, meat, fish, and noodles. All these things add up to her own. This little money is not enough to spend, and most of it has to rely on Gu Yunshan's salary.

This month has bottomed out, and Gu Yunshan's salary will be remitted in two days.

Gu Yunshan's salary is high, and her family's food is much better than other families', so she is very grateful to Gu Yunshan for this.

Well, I will raise his four children to be fat and positive!

I just ask him to continue to go home less often than before!
