Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Early the next morning, Feng Qingxue rode a bicycle into the city alone to exchange food stamps with Lao Cao's wife.

A flour stamp with a face value of ten kilograms and a face value of five kilograms were exchanged for a pile of local food stamps. The smallest denomination was half a kilogram, and the largest denomination was five kilograms. As expected, they were from this city. The special ones cannot be used outside the city because they are not all fine grain stamps, so the total amount is thirty kilograms.

Ten pounds of fine grains and twenty pounds of coarse grains.

According to national standards, twenty kilograms of coarse grains can be combined into five to six kilograms of fine grains.

"I'm sorry, comrade, these are the only food stamps we have left at home. Yesterday, when we exchanged for national food stamps, the other party had to ask for fine grain stamps before they would exchange it." Feng Qingxue didn't mind it, but Lao Cao's wife was very embarrassed because fine grains were scarce. At the grain store, it is easy to exchange fine grain stamps for coarse grains, but it is difficult to exchange coarse grain coupons for fine grains.

"It's okay, whether it's whole grains or fine grains, it can fill your stomach." Many people use fine grains in exchange for coarse grains to fill their stomachs because the family has a large population and the fine grains are not enough.

However, we can't have close friendships with people like Lao Cao's wife.

Because after Feng Qingxue got the food stamps, she looked at them carefully and found that these food stamps basically have time limits and must be used before December 31 of the Gregorian calendar, otherwise they will become invalid.

After the exchange was completed, Feng Qingxue went to the main room to chat with Mrs. Wu for a few words, presented the vegetables she had brought, and left the courtyard.

She picked fresh vegetables when she got up early and sent the rest to Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu.

Before visiting the doctor, she had promised to deliver food to her elder brother, and Aunt Xu was also looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, she received a telegram from Ouyang Zijin when she got home. She had been delayed for two or three months because of Lu Jiang's injury, and she was busy getting married when she came back. Until recently I only have the opportunity for a month. Every time I go to the city, I will bring some fresh vegetables to the house of my elder brother and Dr. Wu.

Aunt Xu couldn't help but said: "You are married now and have a large family that you need to take care of. Unless we are troubled, don't give us things as casually as before."

"Auntie, I am sensible." Feng Qingxue smiled.

The Lu family has a large population, and they have a lot of scattered private land. Because it is too fragmented, it is scattered in front of the house, behind the house, and by the river. It cannot be like ordinary people who have a bright and prosperous life and everyone turns a blind eye. Sometimes, sweet potatoes, corn and other coarse grains are secretly planted, so they can only be used to grow vegetables. The harvest is quite large and cannot be eaten at all.

Feng Qingxue picked the endless vegetables and made them into dried vegetables and pickled vegetables.

Gourd strips, dried eggplants, dried beans, dried red peppers, etc. The vegetables usually distributed to Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu and Wu Zheng are all types that cannot be made into dried vegetables and pickles, such as older beans, eggplants, etc., pick them It tastes good when stir-fried, and the oil and salt are easy to absorb, but it is not a good choice for dry vegetables.

"Just know it yourself." Feng Qingxue treated her sincerely, and Aunt Xu naturally didn't want to take advantage of her.

Feng Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled.

Sincerity for sincerity, if Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu hadn't been sensible and rarely asked her for help except when they were in urgent need of food, she wouldn't have always treated the two elders as their elders.

Aunt Xu took out a handkerchief bag from her arms, opened it and revealed a roll of money and tickets. After flipping through it for a while, she pulled out three tickets and handed them to Feng Qingxue, "Your uncle and I haven't finished the food you gave us before. I secretly exchanged it with someone for some toilet paper tickets and a sanitary napkin ticket. I’m too old to use them, so you can use them!”
