Chapter 74 Xiao Yan: Salute, ordinary anti-Japanese hero!
A smile appeared on Lou Xiaoe's face. "Xiao Yan, thank you!"

"You're welcome."

"Hey, it's a pity that the chicken was eaten by the stick, otherwise I would give you both chickens."

"Well, then you'll get ten eggs a month."

Lou Xiaoe had an idea. "Can I go to the vegetable market and buy a chicken for you to raise?"

Xiao Yan nodded. "Okay, as long as it's the fried chicken from Forty-Nine City."

"Oh, I heard that you have been preparing for the exam recently, and we asked you to help raise chickens, will it distract you?" Lou Xiaoe asked with a concerned expression.

"It's okay, I just keep chickens as a leisure activity."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

"I still have to deliver eggs to the deaf old lady, let's go."

Lou Xiaoe showed curiosity. "Oh, how much did you give her?"

"Five, same as you."

"I heard that this chicken lays up to ten eggs a month, so you don't keep any of them?"

"I have a secret recipe for feeding chickens. Not only does it lay ten eggs a month, but the factory also accidentally sends me eggs, saying that it is for me to supplement nutrition." Xiao Yan showed a playful look. "Not only eggs, but also rice, meat, and vegetables. Anyway, my daily food is good!"

"You want to participate in the national competition. Is this also for the honor of the factory?" Lou Xiaoe nodded. "Mental work is also labor, and it is also necessary to supplement nutrition for you."

"It's rare for you to understand this truth. By the way, remember to ask me about mechanical books."

"Ok."

"Goodbye."

***
Xiao Yan gave the deaf old lady five eggs. "Old lady, you are getting old, eat some eggs to supplement your nutrition."

Don't look at the deaf old lady who sometimes pretends to be deaf and dumb. In fact, she is a sensible person. She knows that at that time, a catty of eggs was [-] cents, which was definitely a high-priced commodity at the time. Sometimes, even if you have tickets and money, you may not be guaranteed to buy eggs.

"I heard that you are so arrogant that no one pays attention to you. Why did you take the initiative to send me eggs today?" the deaf old lady said with a smile.

"That's all rumors, don't take it seriously."

"It's rare that you have such a heart. I don't have anything good to give you in return. If I have a pair of cotton shoes here, I will give them to you." The deaf old lady smiled.

"Old lady, you are too polite. I have shoes to wear, so I don't need them."

"This is my wish. If you don't accept it, you will look down on me. I don't want this egg anymore. You can take it back."

The deaf old lady said in pretended annoyance.

"Your kindness is hard to turn down, so I'll just accept it." Xiao Yan took the cotton shoes handed over by the deaf old lady and tried them on. "The shoes fit well!"

The deaf old woman grinned. "now it's right."

"You came just in time, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"I have some leftover food stamps in my hand, and I made an appointment to exchange money with someone under the big pagoda tree not far from the entrance of the alley; but I can't walk with this leg, can you go with me?"

"Okay, I'll carry you on my back, you sit still."

"Old lady, I heard that you used to make shoes for Balu."

"Balu used to wear your shoes to beat up little devils, but now I wear your shoes and carry you on the back."

The deaf old lady smiled and said nothing.

"If I'm not mistaken, Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu and the others have often spoken ill of me in front of you, right?"

"I didn't hear what you said."

"Old lady, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of me. If I say something you don't like to hear, they are not good people."

"Silly Zhu is my good grandson. If you beat him up, who do I go to?"

"Look for me, you made a contribution to fight against the Japanese, and I respect seniors like you the most!"

Back then, when the Japanese people were facing internal and external troubles in planting flowers, they tried to annex the planting flowers. This was an existential crisis of subjugation. It was the concerted efforts of thousands of ordinary people like the deaf old lady that finally defeated the Japanese people.

In Xiao Yan's heart, everyone who has contributed to the fight against the Japanese is a national hero!

***
Xiao Yan carried the deaf old lady to the foot of the big locust tree, and sure enough there was an old woman with gray hair and a scarf waiting there.

The deaf old lady took out the food stamps, counted them and handed them to her. "This is 62 catties of food stamps, you counted it."

The old woman nodded and said. "That's right."

"Yes."

"According to the previous agreement, one tael of food stamps sells for 12 cents, and I should give you [-] yuan and [-] cents." The old woman was afraid that the deaf old lady would not be able to hear clearly, so she gestured with her hands.

The deaf old lady shook her head. "Just give me 12 yuan and [-] cents, and make me [-] cents, how ugly you say."

The old woman handed over the banknotes and responded forcefully. "Whatever the agreed price is, it's the price. It's 12 yuan and [-] cents. Do you want to change it or not."

Xiao Yan took the money from the old woman. "You bring it."

The old woman shook her head, turned and left.

Xiao Yan left with the deaf old lady on his back.

Deaf old lady complains. "Xiao Yan, others say you are smart, but I think you are a bit stupid. Don't you know that a dime can buy a lot of things these days!"

"Hi, I've learned a lot today, and it's the first time I saw an old lady changing food stamps." Xiao Yan said with a smile. "You are not afraid that I will play tricks on you and carry you to the police agency, where you will be charged with profiteering!"

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. In order to alleviate the contradiction between grain supply and demand, Guo Jia established a unified grain purchase and marketing system and issued food stamps as exchange tickets; Wait, the maximum denomination can even reach fifty or even one hundred catties.

At that time, when urban residents moved their household registrations, there was the so-called food relationship, which was as important as the urban household registration. Without the food relationship, you would not be able to eat.

At that time, every weekend or at the end of the month, there would always be a long queue at the gate of the grain store, waiting for the distribution of grain.

Due to the shortage of food supply at that time, people sometimes exchanged money or other commodities for food stamps in private, but this was an illegal act at the time. Sentenced.

"I can't hear what you said." The deaf old lady responded to Xiao Yan.

"You, I understand."

"I still can't hear you."

"I said, old lady, you are one of the few good people in the courtyard!"

"What a fart!" said the deaf old lady.

The two smiled at each other.

"Old lady, you can't move your feet. Who carried you in exchange for food stamps before?"

"Who else, my good grandson Shazhu! Ever since I hurt my foot, I've been leaning on his back."

"How did your foot hurt?"

"Hey, I'm old, my legs and feet are not flexible, and I sprained when I was walking."

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the home of the deaf old lady.

"Take off your shoes, and I'll show you." Xiao Yan looked at it, frowned and said. "Your right foot is very swollen, didn't you see a doctor?"

"I've looked for several doctors, but they didn't like it." The deaf old lady shook her head.

"There is a doctor in our factory, Ding Qiunan, who is a lesbian. Her family is from a medical family; I will tell her to let her come to see you."

"Okay, I can't go to the ground, life is really inconvenient." The deaf old lady had a look of expectation on her face.

"I'm sure she will find a way to heal your foot injury."
