While climbing the mountain, Ding Ye kept paying attention to Yun Xi. He originally thought that a girl like Yun Xi from a provincial town must have never walked such a difficult road, so it would definitely be difficult to walk.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xi was completely beyond his expectation. Instead of looking in difficulty, she looked as if she were walking on flat ground and was exceptionally relaxed, which surprised Ding Ye.
"Tired?"
After walking for more than an hour, the sun has come out and shines so warmly on people that it is easy to make people not want to walk.
Ding Ye turned his head, looked at Yun Xi and asked softly.
"Not tired."
Yun Xi also turned to look at him and smiled gently at him.
She was telling the truth, but Ding Ye didn't believe it. He didn't think a girl from the city would be tired after walking on a mountain road for more than an hour.
"I'll carry you."
He knelt down in front of her, his voice firm.
Yun Xi raised her head and glanced at the mountain road. The mountain road was narrow and steep. Walking on empty would be tiring, let alone carrying another person on her back. It would be very, very hard.
"No, I can go. I'm really not tired. Get up quickly."
Before Ding Ye could say anything, she grabbed his arms forcefully, pulled him up, and then naturally held his hand.
"Just hold me."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Ding Ye had no choice but to hold her hand, "Okay then, but when you are tired, just tell me and I will carry you."
After a pause, he slowly added, "Don't worry I can't carry it, I can do it."
"Yeah, I know." Yun Xi replied with a chuckle.
In this way, the two held hands all the way to the town, and Yun Xi did not let Ding Ye turn his back on her the whole time. Ding Ye was very surprised by her physical strength.
Even the girls in the village can't walk as well as she does. How can she have such good physical strength
Confused by doubts, he resisted asking, took Yun Xi's hand, and led her towards the only supply and marketing cooperative in the town.
As Yun Xi walked, she looked at the town. The town looked not much different from the village. Except that it was larger than the village, all the roads in the village were dirt roads, while in the town, there were a few dilapidated roads. cement road.
On the cement road, you can occasionally see pedestrians passing by on early elevated bicycles.
Half an hour later, the two finally arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, the supply and marketing cooperative was already overcrowded.
In this era, individuals are not allowed to do business. Therefore, the existence of supply and marketing cooperatives plays a big role. Supply and marketing cooperatives are like small shopping malls, with a wide range of goods. Here, as long as you need something, you can buy it.
In addition, the supply and marketing cooperative also purchases agricultural and sideline products. If the family has surplus grain or other things, they can all be sold here to make money.
At the door, Ding Ye looked at Yun Xi and warned, "There are too many people inside. You must follow me closely. If you accidentally get separated, just wait for me at the door and I will look for you."
"okay, I get it."
Yun Xi nodded and held Ding Ye's hand tightly. He was right. There were indeed many people inside, but she would not get separated.
After entering, Yun Xi began to pick out the things she wanted to buy.
Cloth, sugar, polished rice, flour, seasonings, oil, eggs, etc. Money was very valuable in this era, so prices were very low.
Ordinary rice only costs 0.14 yuan per pound, polished rice only costs 0.2 yuan, flour costs 0.2 yuan per pound, and white sugar is more expensive, costing 0.7 yuan per pound.
Soap is 0.4 yuan per piece, vegetable oil is 0.9 yuan per pound, pork is 0.75 yuan per pound, cotton cloth is 0.4 yuan per foot, and khaki cloth is 1.5 yuan per pound. However, farmers are only eligible to buy cotton cloth.
You can't buy the above things just by having money. When you have money, you need to have a ticket.
Food stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, tofu stamps, salt stamps, vegetable stamps, etc., each item has a weight or quantity limit, and you cannot buy more even if you have money.
Yunxi is not short of tickets. The original owner's family is very well off. Her grandparents, parents and brothers all have important jobs. Her maternal grandfather's family also has an extraordinary family background. Therefore, the family has so many tickets that they can hardly put them down.
When she 'eloped' with Zhou Yu'an this time, she secretly brought out a lot of tickets. There were all kinds of tickets, enough for her to use for several years.
In addition to the tickets, she also brought her pocket money from childhood to adulthood, which was about a thousand yuan. In this era when migrant workers only earned 17 or 18 yuan a month, it was definitely a huge sum of money.
The original owner planned to use the money for emergency purposes. After all, she didn't know when she and Zhou Yuan would be able to return to the provincial capital, and she didn't know what problems they would encounter with money in the future.
Therefore, she did not dare to touch the emergency money, but quietly locked the money in the box without telling anyone. Not even Zhou Yuan knew that she had such a huge sum of money.
But now, Yun Xi has taken it all out.
She doesn't need an emergency, so locked in a crate to give birth
"Sister Yun Xi..."
Just when Yun Xi was extremely happy shopping, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Upon hearing this voice, all Yun Xi's good mood disappeared instantly.
She turned around and saw that, as expected, Tang Xiaoyu and Zhou Yuan were standing not far from her. Zhou Yuan frowned, while Tang Xiaoyu looked at her with surprise.
Tang Xiaoyu looked at her and then at Ding Ye beside her. When she saw Ding Ye, there was a clear look of fear in her eyes.
"Sister Yun Xi, it's really you. I thought I was wrong."
Tang Xiaoyu's eyes moved to Yun Xi again, she smiled shyly and whispered.
"It's me. Why, are you here to buy something too?"
Yun Xi sneered in her heart and put a smile on her face. Her smile was bright and bright, with no trace of gloom at all. She didn't look like someone who had been abandoned just a few days ago.
Seeing her smile, Tang Xiaoyu was slightly startled, but soon, a feeling of inferiority arose in her heart.
Yun Xi's appearance is so good that no one in the whole village can compare with her.
She is also from the provincial capital. She is well-educated and a well-educated person. I heard that her family is also very well off, so when Yun Xi is not working, she usually wears beautiful clothes.
For example, today, she was wearing a pink long skirt, a white cashmere coat on the outside, and a pair of small flat leather shoes on her feet. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family who was out for fun.
This kind of dress is beautiful and elegant. Tang Xiaoyu has never seen such beautiful clothes.
In fact, compared to the girls in the village, most of whom wore gray and patched clothes, Tang Xiaoyu was already well dressed.
At least, she had never been allowed to wear patched clothes in her home.
Today is the first time she has come to town since her wedding, so she is wearing new clothes made for the wedding.
On her feet is a pair of round-toe shoes, on her legs is a pair of black trousers, and on top is a red embroidered jacket with a double breast.
