Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Regarding Li Xiuzhu's reminder, Yan Bugui said indifferently: "Hey, why are you collecting grain? Isn't it delicious to eat new grain?"

"Furthermore, the price of food stamps and fine grains has risen to 40 cents per pound. With this money, we might as well just endure it and get through it."

"When it rains in the second half of the year, that is, in another half a year, this food will be enough."

"You see, it's getting cloudy today. It's only been raining for the past two days."

"Although the first half of the year may be difficult, it will be fine once the food harvest is completed in the second half of the year."

"In the past six months, just eat coarse grains first. Our family doesn't have such refined grains."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Yan Bugui's confident look and his mouth moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything else.

A little reminder is already the best thing to do, but if you say too much, it will be inappropriate, and you may even be jealous.

"That's fine, you can come as you see fit, but first, please don't come to my house to borrow food if you run out of food."

"Our family is big, and the food we collect is just enough to eat. I have to think about my younger siblings and children."

Yan Bugui didn't care. Even if there was no food to cook, he would just spend some money to buy some food stamps. Fine grains were 40 cents per catty, but coarse grains were only 2 cents. His family could afford it.

"Brother Li is waiting for me here."

"Don't worry, I still have money if I can't survive. If I'm hungry, I won't borrow it from you."

Li Xiuzhu sighed in his heart, this child still didn't understand what he meant and was hopeless.

But I won't starve to death. Money can make all the difference, and I can actually buy food, but it's a bit expensive.

Li Xiuzhu was free and rode his bicycle to the front door.

I haven’t ridden a bicycle for a long time. I only ride it when the weather is not too cold, and occasionally go fishing with Yanbu Guidiao.

Needless to say, I am still a little uncomfortable riding this sudden ride.

When he arrived at the front door, Li Xiuzhu locked his bicycle in the silk shop and heard Chen Xueru's voice.

"Hey, why did the master think of coming to my place today?"

"Is this here to pick me up?"

As she spoke, Chen Xueru walked out, looked around and said, "This is the wrong time. Are you here to find someone?"

One look at Chen Xueru's foxy smile and Li Xiuzhu knew that Chen Xueru had a wrong idea. He probably thought he was here to find Xu Huizhen.

"Oh, our Xueru is so brave. She dares to tease your man. Does she think her physical strength is getting better recently?"

The smile on Chen Xueru's face suddenly softened, and she said with a smile: "Isn't this a little angry?"

"You see, I don't even have time to go shopping. I'm trapped in this three-quarter acre of land, and my man can still go and please other women. Let me say a few words."

Li Xiuzhu said funny: "I'm not looking for Huizhen to go shopping. If you are free, let's go shopping together."

Chen Xueru's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.

"I have time for this. Not many people have enough to eat these days. How can anyone buy silk or clothes?"

"I'm missing a lot in the store."

What Chen Xueru said was false. She originally sold mainly Su brocade and silk. She also sold Soviet large-scale fabrics and so on, but they were not the main products, so she had many high-end customers.

While others don't have enough to eat or money, none of her old customers can go hungry.

"Okay, then you tell the store and let's go shopping."

"it is good!"

Chen Xueru turned around and went into the store, and came out within a minute, with a smile on her face and she was very happy.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Look how beautiful you are."

Chen Xueru did not deny it, and admitted with a smile: "That's right, my husband is accompanying me, and that's not beautiful."

Chen Xueru has been to Hong Kong Island and likes this name very much. Now most of the women in the family also call it this.

"Where does my husband want to go?"

Li Xiuzhu said: "Walking around is just leisurely, but now the Zhengyang Gate is even more depressed than when I first came here."

Chen Xueru nodded and said: "No, the passenger flow is less than half of previous years. Even compared to 1949, it is still 30% less."

Then he raised his chin and gestured to the big house next to him and said, "Have you seen this big canteen? In the past, the workers and bosses who worked at the front door loved to come here to have a bite, but now they are all forced to close their doors."

"First, there are no tickets and there are fewer people to eat. Second, there is really no food."

"By the way, why don't we go shopping in the department store? It seems like you haven't been to the department store since it opened."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "I've definitely never been there. You know me. I don't like to hang out with a lot of people, and I'm also quite busy."

"How is it in there?"

Chen Xueru said: "It must be good. It's the first state-owned large store. If I hadn't been abroad and we also have a large store, I would definitely think this is the best."

The two chatted and walked into the department store. They looked similar to later generations, but not the same.

This store is made up of square grids, with a salesperson standing on one side, selling everything from bicycles and sewing machines to soaps and pens.

Often there is only one counter for the same type of items, and some that sell good ones may even have three or five counters.

At a glance, it looks complete.

"Husband, let's buy something too."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"That's fine. Look, you can buy whatever you want. I brought coupons, and I have everything."

The original industrial coupons can only buy some industrial products that are not specially classified, such as toilet soap, soap, radios, and sewing machines.

For particularly popular items such as watches and bicycles, watch coupons and bicycle coupons are issued separately. Of course, it is not just these two that have separate coupons.

The two of them walked to a counter selling cosmetics. Chen Xueru approached the front with interest and said, "Bring this cream for me to smell."

Hearing this, the salesperson in front of the counter was half-dead. He came up to her with a sullen expression and said, "This is a high-end product. If you open it, you can buy it."

"This is not cheap, it costs ten yuan and comes with an industrial coupon."

Even though the salesperson may have a bad look on his face, you still have to endure it. Most of today’s salespeople are basically like this. Whether you want to buy or not, they are paid dead wages, so they don’t need to give you a good look.

The most exaggerated thing is that if you dare to make trouble, the salesperson will dare to beat you.

When they first came in, there was a banner hanging in the lobby that read: Do not beat or scold customers without reason.

Do you know what it means? It means that I can beat you if I have reason. In the next few decades, the customer will be the God. In this era, the salesperson is comparable to the God of the customer.

I remember that there was a provincial No. 3 private interviewer who exposed his identity and was criticized. Just tell me whether you are afraid.

Chen Xueru didn't say anything, but took out her wallet with a smile on her face. When she opened the wallet, a wad of money almost blinded the little girl.

This is too much.

However, I was envious in my heart, but my face became more and more disdainful, and I looked down on these wealthy capitalists the most.

Despite this, the salesperson still took out the cream.

After all, if someone has money and coupons, if you don’t sell, you’ve made a mistake.
