The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm: Chapter 392 Housewhiskers in the 1970s 23

  Chapter 392 The House Spoiler in the 1970s (23)

  As soon as Xu Yin arrived home, she saw Grandpa Xu sitting on the threshold of his courtyard, smoking a pipe.

   "Grandpa, why don't you sit in the house? The door of the main room is not locked."

   "Cough, I'm sweating all over, sit here to cool off." Mr. Xu got up slowly and said.

  Xu Yin helped him into the room and poured him a cup of tea.

   "Grandpa, I have some tobacco leaves here, you can smoke them."

   Seeing that the tobacco leaves he smoked were low-quality old stalks, Xu Yin took some good tobacco leaves from the system warehouse and let the old man knead and smoke them by himself.

"Hey, this fragrance of tobacco leaves!" The old man squinted his eyes wisely, looked up at his granddaughter, opened his mouth, and finally didn't ask where he came from, but only talked about the reason for coming here today, "The food I asked someone to buy is actually There is a place to go, but there is no one to take it there temporarily, so we have to go and pull it by ourselves. I just went to your second uncle's house, but he... oh, he pushed back and forth, saying that he was tired and had no strength these days..."

   Xu Yin said before he finished speaking: "I'll go with you."

   "..."

  Old man Xu actually came to find his younger son to fetch food with him, but he didn't expect to be cut off by his granddaughter.

   "Yinyin, pulling food is a physical labor..."

  Although I have heard that this granddaughter is incredibly strong, I am still worried. This is going to the county town to collect grain, more than ten miles away.

  Xu Yin comforted the old man: "It's okay, I am strong. If you are looking for my father, you might as well look for me."

  Third Xu who just walked in the door: "..."

  What happened to the knee like an arrow?

   "Girl, father has a discussion with you: forget it in front of your own people, if there are outsiders present next time, save some face for your father, okay?"

  Xu Yin pursed her lips and said happily, "Okay."

  Early the next morning, Xu Yin came to the old house, pushed on the cart and went to the county town to collect grain with the old man.

  She put a futon she made herself on the cart, and put a piece of grass on the futon for the old man to sit on.

  Old man Xu: "..."

   I didn't expect that in my lifetime, the old man, I could still enjoy the treatment of being pushed to the county seat in a car.

   "Girl Yin, aren't you tired?" He was worried that his granddaughter would be exhausted.

   "Not tired! You can sit at ease all the time, and you can lie down when you are tired."

   "..."

   You can't lie down, because you always feel like a person whose legs have been stretched out.

The place where the food was pulled was not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, and when passing by the pork stall at the side door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Xiao Zhu, an apprentice who had helped out last time, spotted her sharply and waved to her excitedly: "Hey! Comrade Xiao Xu! "

  Master Li greeted her with a smile when he saw her: "Little comrade, don't you want to buy meat today?"

  Xu Yinwei: "Buy because I want to buy..."

   But she has no ticket!

  “…and I have things to rush.”

   "That's easy, I'll keep it for you." Master Li said, "How about a catty of five flowers? You can just come back and get it! If you don't have a ticket, I will lend it to you first!"

  As soon as Xu Yin heard that the master was willing to lend her meat tickets, and could reserve them, she said happily, "Thank you then!"

   "It's easy to talk about."

Seeing that his granddaughter met the master butcher who sells meat in the supply and marketing cooperative, the old man Xu was very happy after being surprised: "You can rest assured when buying meat from now on. If you want to be thin and fat, he won't give you fat. Very skinny!"

  Xu Yin laughed dumbfounded.

  The place to buy black market food is somewhat different from what Xu Yin imagined.

No matter what I heard or seen in novels, the black market seems to be a hidden alley. Anyone who goes to the black market to trade must disguise himself for safety, and speak in a low voice like an underground party leader. If there is any trouble, you have to be prepared to run and retreat at any time.

   Xu Yin doesn't know if the other transactions are carried out in the alley, but the black market grain is not. It is actually in a private house not far from the grain station.

  Families who don’t have food stamps and are short of food, just take the money to buy it.

  However, if it is three times higher than the white market price, who will buy it unless it is absolutely necessary?

  Old man Xu put it bluntly is also for his youngest son, the food for him and his wife is enough.

  If the youngest couple were as diligent as they are now, would the annual rations be less? As long as the weather is good and the weather is good, it’s okay to eat well without extravagant expectations.

  Xu Yin knew that the old man was for her own family, so she wanted to pay for the food, but was stopped by the old man.

   "Before going out, your grandma gave me money, and this batch of food is for your family's emergency. In the future, if your parents can always be as diligent as they have been recently, they won't have to spend so much money."

  It wasn’t just their grandparents who came to buy food on the spot, so Xu Yin didn’t argue with him.

  After the old man finished paying, she carried the rice bag onto the cart, and then covered it with straw mats, baskets and other sundries.

  The futon is placed in front of the rice bag, which is convenient for the old man to sit on.

"This is your granddaughter? She has great strength!" The owner of the grain seller handed the old man a cheap cigarette, "Are you interested in working at the grain station? Of course, she can only be a temporary worker. I think she is not weaker than a middle-aged man. , the job of carrying rice bags is quite suitable for her."

  Old man Xu was a little confused: "Carrying a rice bag? She's a girl..."

  The other party laughed: "As long as you have enough strength to carry the rice bag, anyone, regardless of gender, can do it."

  Xu Yin heard it from the side, and twitched the corners of her mouth. She is very strong, and [Eternal Divine Power] has provided her with a lot of convenience in life.

  But I didn't plan to sell my labor to make money.

  Purely relying on labor, when will you be able to complete the task of "10,000 households"? Carrying rice sacks all the time is impossible.

  Old man Xu didn't agree either.

Although he has been a worker in an agricultural machinery factory for half his life, his thoughts are still a bit old-fashioned. He always feels that girls should find a more elegant job. An educated person sits in an office, and an uneducated matchbox or something is quite suitable. . Crowded with a bunch of middle-aged men carrying rice bags at the grain station... Just thinking about this scene makes me feel inappropriate.

  Both the grandpa and grandson refused, and the host didn't say anything more.

  There is no shortage of temporary workers at the grain station, but he only raised his mouth when he saw Xu Yin's ability to carry the rice bag with such strength that he could match a strong man.

  After buying food, Xu Yin thought about the piece of pork belly that Master Li had left for her, and pushed the cart to the supply and marketing cooperative excitedly.

   She hasn't eaten meat for many days, not to mention cheap parents, she is a bit greedy.

  In front of the meat stall, Master Li was preparing to close the stall.

  Xiao Zhu scrubbed the countertops and cutting boards.

  At this time, two people came, a man and a woman.

  The woman is Xu Yin's cousin Xu Yuanyuan.

  She is resting today, and went to the street with her blind date.

  Since their blind date, this is the first time for the two to go out on the street, and they came here unknowingly.

   Seeing the meat stall, Xu Yuanyuan thought that her family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so she thought about buying some to make dumplings for lunch.

   "Master, give me a catty of meat."

  Master Li looked up at her: "It's sold out today! Come early tomorrow."

   "Isn't there another one?" Xu Yuanyuan pointed to the only remaining piece of pork belly that looked good, "It's about a catty, right? I want it."

   "It's not for sale."

   "Why not sell?"

   At this time, Xiao Zhu saw Xu Yin pushing the cart, and shouted at her from a distance: "Hurry up! You're going to lose your meat!"
