A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

More than half an hour later, Chu Yiling couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw the cakes and candies in Meng Qiuping and Chu Anshan's hands. It was not because she was greedy, but because of the sequelae left by her original body.

Although the original body had no shortage of food, children of this era could not eat whatever they wanted and as much as they wanted like children in later generations.

That's why the original body would feel greedy when seeing cakes and candies.

"I'll give it to you when we get home." Meng Qiuping couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter swallowing her saliva.

"I see. Actually, I don't really want to eat it. It was just a reflex."

"Well, you are right. Your father and I need to buy some daily necessities such as flashlights and candles. Will you go with us or wait for us at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"I want to go shopping with you. By the way, Mom, if you see red ropes and red headscarves, buy some. They will be very useful when we return to the village."

"Okay, I'll buy some when I see them. I also want to buy handkerchiefs. How many do you want?"

After hearing what Meng Qiuping said, Chu Yiling wanted to say that she didn't want any, because it was difficult for people who were used to using paper towels to accept using handkerchiefs.

But she also knew that in this era almost everyone used handkerchiefs, and it could be said that almost no one used paper to wipe their hands.

So she has to go with the flow, otherwise she will become an outcast in everyone's eyes.

Thinking of this, her body trembled uncontrollably, and then she said to Meng Qiuping in a firm tone: "Ten."

"What do you need so many handkerchiefs for?"

“I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”

After hearing Chu Yiling's words, Meng Qiuping thought of how Chu Yiling habitually took a piece of tissue paper to wipe everything she did. At most, she could use up two packs of tissue paper a day. She was simply the biggest paper user in their family.

So ten handkerchiefs might not be enough for her to make in a day.

Thinking of this, she decided to buy a few handkerchiefs every day, because she was afraid that she would not be able to help but change several handkerchiefs a day.

As for the child's father, he was not within her consideration at all. Anyway, he had lived a rough life before, and one handkerchief a day was enough for him.

After thinking it over, she took Chu Yiling's hand and walked towards the handkerchief counter.

When she walked to the counter, she saw several styles of handkerchiefs on the counter, so she asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much are these handkerchiefs?"

"All of them are 20 cents a piece."

"Do you need cloth coupons? How many pieces can one person buy at most?"

"Yes, one person can only buy three at most."

"Then please get me nine. Three is just enough for each person in our family."

After hearing what Meng Qiuping said, the salesperson looked at the two people standing next to Meng Qiuping. Seeing that they really looked like a family, he didn't say much and directly took out nine handkerchiefs from the counter and put them on the counter.

He said to Meng Qiuping, "A total of one dollar and eighty cents, plus a one-foot cloth coupon."

"Okay, please help me wrap the handkerchief." After saying this, Meng Qiuping took out money and cloth coupons from her pocket and handed them to the salesperson.

Then she took the wrapped handkerchief from the salesperson and went on to buy other things.

She didn't walk out of the supply and marketing cooperative until she had bought everything she needed.

"Mom, should we go see a show?" Chu Yiling asked Meng Qiuping after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative.

After hearing Chu Yiling's words, Meng Qiuping looked at her watch and saw that the time was almost up, so she put all the things in her hands into the backpack that Chu Anshan was carrying.

Then the whole family rushed towards Ai Yimu's house.
