After all the things were sold out, Su Qing went around the black market and bought a pound of pork and two large bones, two pounds of lard, three pounds of brown rice, a pound of white sugar and a pound of brown sugar, and also bought some salt. The prices of these things in the black market were twice as expensive as those in the supply and marketing cooperative. Fortunately, Su Qing had a foundation to support herself, so she didn't feel so distressed.

After buying everything, Su Qing left the black market and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After finding a deserted place to restore her original appearance and change her clothes, Su Qing walked into the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a backpack.

This was Su Qing's first time visiting a supply and marketing cooperative of that era. Her clothes were covered with patches of various sizes, and she was carrying a backpack. Plus, with the scar on her left cheek, she looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Many sales clerks looked at her with disdain.

Such looks had no effect on Su Qing at all. She looked around, wondering what to buy for the villagers who had helped her.

This time when she was splitting up with the old Su family, she didn't need to count those who helped build the earthen walls and repair the doors. She had already asked Zhao Youcai to settle the wages for them, and she also gave them an extra 20% as an extra thank you. The rest were people like Aunt Tao and Aunt Cuihua who helped her, plus the two families of Zhao Youcai and Wang Xuehong. If you count them carefully, there were about ten families.

As a result, after going around in circles, it turned out that only fruit candies did not require extra receipts and were not subject to purchase limits. Other items more or less required receipts and were also subject to purchase limits. Now what Su Qing lacked most was receipts, so in the end, Su Qing decided to buy twelve kilograms of fruit candies.

"How much?" The salesperson at the counter looked at Su Qing in disbelief after hearing what she said, and asked again: "How many kilograms of fruit candy do you want to buy?"

"Twelve pounds." Su Qing repeated it again.

The salesman frowned and said, "This is a state-owned supply and marketing cooperative, not a place for playing house. A pound of fruit candy costs 30 cents, so 12 pounds is 3.6 yuan. Are you sure you want to buy 12 pounds?"

Even if there is no purchase limit on the fruit candies, who would buy so much fruit candies at once, except for those who are holding weddings? No, even for weddings, you can’t use so much! And the way this little girl is dressed, she doesn’t look like someone who can afford 12 kilograms of fruit candies.

"Sure." Su Qing nodded and asked, "Can you help me pack one pound?"

"Okay, I get it. You just want me to pack these 12 kilograms together. There's not that much straw paper. Go over there and pay first." The salesperson saw Su Qing's certainty. Although she still didn't believe it, she didn't say much. She directly issued a ticket, clipped the ticket to the wire clip above her head, and slid to the cashier's office. She pointed at the cashier's office and said to Su Qing, "Go pay first, and come back to get the candy."

"Thank you." Seeing that the salesperson's attitude was pretty good, Su Qing nodded to her and turned to walk towards the cashier. The salesperson looked at Su Qing's back and muttered secretly: A little country bumpkin, but he is quite polite.

After Su Qing paid the money, she came back and saw the salesperson helping her pack candies. While she was waiting, a girl's voice suddenly said, "Su Qing? Are you here to buy candies?"

Su Qing turned around when she heard the voice and saw that it was Su Mei, the eldest cousin from her uncle's family. What a coincidence.

At this time, Su Mei was not alone. There was a young man standing next to her. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had his hair parted in a 3:7 style. He looked pretty good, but the moment they met, the look in his eyes made Su Qing feel a little unhappy. She always felt that when this man looked at people, there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Big cousin." Su Qing called out indifferently, and the salesperson had just packed all twelve bags of fruit candy. Su Mei stepped forward and prepared to take it: "It's just right, the family is short of candy, I'll take some first, you talk to grandma."

Su Qing moved so quickly that Su Mei didn't even touch the candies. She put them all into her backpack. She looked at Su Mei and said indifferently, "Cousin, I bought these candies. If you want to buy some, please pay for them yourself."

"What do you mean by yours and mine?" Su Mei didn't know that the old Su family and Su Qing had completely separated. She thought that it was Su Qing who was asked by Old Lady Su to buy the candies. She was still wondering why Old Lady Su asked Su Qing to touch the money. "Grandma didn't let you buy candies, so how could you afford it? Don't you have to give my family a share when you bring it back? I've told you everything. Just tell Grandma that I took it away. Grandma won't blame you."

As she spoke, Su Mei glanced at Su Qing's backpack and found that it was mostly full and tightly covered: "What's in your backpack? How much did you buy?"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with my eldest cousin." Su Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "Eldest cousin, didn't grandma and the others tell you that I have already separated from the people in the old house? The things I bought are my own, and have nothing to do with the old house or your family."

"You!" Su Mei's face was a little hot because of Su Qing's words. What did Su Qing mean by this? She said that she wanted to take advantage of her? Today, she went shopping with this blind date for the first time, but she was slapped in the face by her second cousin. She glared at Su Qing and secretly gritted her teeth.

The saleswoman at the side opened her eyes wide, glancing at this one and then that one. Oh my god, are these two sisters going to quarrel? Is she watching a show, watching a show, or watching a show?

However, the result disappointed the salesperson as she did not witness a live quarrel.

Su Qing put on the backpack, turned around and left without even looking at Su Mei.

Su Mei held her breath and wanted to go up to Su Qing to argue with her, but firstly, she didn't know what Su Qing meant by the separation, and secondly, her blind date was right there with her. If she let him see her arguing with her cousin, wouldn't that lower his impression of her?

Thinking of this, Su Mei took a deep breath, turned to look at Wu Tao next to her, and said to him helplessly: "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself. My cousin is a little willful and has a bad temper. If there is anything I say that is unpleasant to hear, don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, every family has its own problems." Wu Tao smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling. Cousin, the scar on your face is really ugly, but your eyes are quite beautiful, like a pool of spring water. If it weren't for the scar, you would be a little beauty more beautiful than Su Mei.

What a pity! That little girl's eyes are much more beautiful than Su Mei's.
