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

"Mom, it seems that cotton is also subject to purchase restrictions."

"It's okay. There are two of us. We should be able to buy a lot of cotton."

"Then we'll see. If it's not enough, we'll think of other ways."

Meng Qiuping nodded when she heard Chu Yiling's words, and they continued to move forward slowly with the team.

I don’t know if it was because it was almost time for lunch or because you didn’t have to pick and choose when buying cotton, but they only waited in line for less than ten minutes before it was their turn to buy cotton.

But to their disappointment, each of them only bought two kilograms of cotton, which was not enough for their family to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

As for the clothes and quilts of the original owner's family, they did not dislike them. Except for the underwear, they washed them and continued to wear them.

But the clothes and quilts of the original owner's family were not suitable for the winter in Northeast China at all, which meant that their winter clothes and quilts had to be remade.

As for the cotton coats in the mall, they never thought of wearing them. One reason is that the cotton coats in the mall are completely different from the cotton coats of this era.

Secondly, the cotton coats sold in shopping malls are not very thick, they are mostly thin.

The filling inside was not cotton, but down cotton that was similar to down. There was no chance for them to even take it apart and redo it.

They can take out their inner clothes and wear them, since they don't have to worry about being seen.

As for quilts, forget it, because the quilts sold in shopping malls are either down quilts or soybean quilts, neither of which is suitable for use on a kang.

It is more comfortable to cover the kang with cotton.

So they must find a way to get more cotton today. Anyway, they have no shortage of cotton tickets. What they lack is the channel to buy cotton.

Thinking of this, they walked to a corner not far away and stood there, trying to find an opportunity to get in touch with the people who were responsible for selling cotton.

But unfortunately, until the cotton was sold out, they had no chance to get in touch with the person responsible for selling the cotton.

But they would not give up so easily because cotton is too important to their family.

Just as they were wondering what to do next, they saw the salesperson selling wine waving at them and motioning them to come over.

Although they didn't know what the salesperson asked them to do, they went over anyway.

"Big sister, do you want to buy cotton?"

"Aunt, do you have a solution?"

"Yes, but the price is quite expensive. Unless you have a ticket, the price can be lower."

"How much is one pound without a ticket?"

"Two dollars a pound."

"So expensive? I just bought it for 89 cents a pound."

"Don't worry, big sister. If you have a ticket, it's only 1.3 yuan per pound. Although it's more expensive than what you just bought, there's no limit on the quantity.

Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem that expensive. ”

When Meng Qiuping heard what the salesperson said, she felt that the other party was taking advantage of her. If possible, she really wanted to say firmly that she would not buy it and then turn around and leave.

But she couldn't do that, because she didn't know if she would be able to buy cotton again after missing this opportunity, and she didn't dare to gamble with the safety of her family.

But being a sucker was obviously not her style, so she quickly glanced at the counter behind the salesperson and instantly had an idea in her mind.

So she said to the salesman, "If you can give me a price of 1.5 yuan per pound for cotton, I will buy the three most expensive bottles of wine on your counter."

"Are you serious? This is not a joke."
