Chapter 29

The two of them were much faster, one was because Jiang Xinyu had already practiced her footwork after this month of training, and the other was because Wang Ailing walked quickly and with her, she was so fast.

It was already an hour later when we arrived in the village. The two of them were waiting at the site with laughter and laughing. They went directly to the city, not wanting to waste time here.

After waiting for half an hour, Jiang Xinyu felt the cold before the bus arrived.

I arrived in the city for an hour and a half. It was already ten o'clock in the morning.

"Xinyu, you came last time, and I came last year. Where are we going?"

"Sister, let's take a look first, see if anyone wants yam?"

“Where to go?”

"Let's be near the supply and marketing cooperative, there are many people buying vegetables there, or grain stations."

Wang Ailing had no objection. The two of them came to the supply and marketing cooperative with their baskets on their backs. Not many people came to buy things at this time.

Jiang Xinyu didn't feel embarrassed either, so he picked up the snakeskin bag covered with yam in the basket, revealing the yam inside.

"Xinyu, is this OK?"

"Try it, I don't know." Jiang Xinyu was puzzled.

"Is this too ostentatious? I heard that private buying and selling is not allowed."

"Sister, we are not buying and selling." Looking at Wang Ailing's disagreement, Jiang Xinyu still covered her yam and carried a basket.

"Sister, let's change the place and go to the grain station. There should be many people there."

Seeing the food station coming and going, Jiang Xinyu knew that he was right.

"Sister, you're waiting for me."

"What are you going to do?"

"It's okay, just go and ask, you can wait aside." Jiang Xinyu walked over to an old lady with temperament.

"Auntie, I come from the countryside. I have yam here. I want to exchange for tickets. I wonder if you want it?"

"Yam?"

"Well, in my basket, look?" She knew about the yam from the old lady's tone.

The old lady turned to the back of Jiang Xinyu, lifted the snakeskin bag, looked at the whole yam as thick as a baby's arm, and then covered it and turned to Jiang Xinyu.

"Miss, your yam is pretty good. What tickets are you going to exchange for?"

"Auntie, let's talk?"

The old lady looked at Jiang Xinyu happily, "You know you're scared now?"

"Hehe, aunt, although I came from the countryside, I still know that this is inappropriate. It's not because there are no tickets. It's not easy to come to the city, so I took the risk."

The two of them said, leaving the gate of the grain station.

"Miss, I don't say it's false. This yam is pretty good. I'll hear what tickets do you want to change?"

"Auntie, what tickets do you have to be rich? I lack everything, and I know that food coupons are tight, so I don't want them."

"Haha, little girl, what do you think you can change to this little yam?"

"Auntie, I just want to buy toilet paper and mirrors. Last time I went to the building and saw that I needed tickets."

"These are two types. Toilet paper is a special supply. I have this ticket. As for the mirror, there must be an industrial ticket.

You don’t have much yam, so I can only give you a toilet paper ticket and an industrial ticket at most.”

"Auntie, I don't understand this, just how much can I buy for this toilet paper ticket?"

"Two jin."

"Auntie, I have about six yams here. Do you want to give me two toilet paper tickets? Can you buy a mirror for one industrial ticket?"

"You can buy it. If you don't have an industrial ticket, I can give you four toilet paper tickets."

"Then I don't want industrial tickets. Give me four toilet paper tickets. Our village has no invoices this year."

"Okay, please send it to me at home, I don't have a ticket on me. My house is in that alley." The old lady pointed to Jiang Xinyu.

"Okay, wait for me for a while, I'll say something to my sister."

Jiang Xinyu told Wang Ailing, "Sister, you'll wait for me here for a while, I'll definitely be back in a quarter of an hour."

"Xinyu, I'm still very good at going with you."

"No, you're still safe here."

After convinced Wang Ailing, Jiang Xinyu left with the old man with the basket on his back.

"Do you want to go in and drink a little water?"

"No, auntie, I'll wait for you at the door."

After saying that, I put down the basket, it was always tiring to carry it on my back.

The old man didn't say much, and opened the door and entered the house.

Jiang Xinyu squatted down and put out a bag of five kilograms of rice under the basket. He really wanted to see the mirror, eager to see what he looked like now. He also lacked sugar tickets and wanted to drink brown sugar water.

Less than five minutes later, the old man came out and was holding a snakeskin bag in his hand.

"Give it, these are four toilet paper tickets. Just put the yam in a bag."

Jiang Xinyu took the ticket and put it in her pants pocket. She took the bag and put it in her yam.

"Auntie, you can try this yam and eat special noodles when you steam it."

"Well, little girl, what's in that bag?"

"Auntie, this is rice."

"Rice? Can you change it?"

"I can't afford to eat this fine grain."

"What do you want to change?"

“Industrial ticket, brown sugar ticket.”

"How much do you want? Let's go into the yard. It's too eye-catching at the door."

Jiang Xinyu did not refuse this time. As he entered the yard, the family had good conditions, and the houses were all tiled houses with six rooms.

"Auntie, I'm five kilograms of rice. How many tickets can you give me?"

The old lady thought about it, "I also have a total of four kilograms of sugar tickets, and six industrial tickets."

Jiang Xinyu doesn't speak, she just laughs.

"I'll give you another five kilograms of cotton tickets, which is already the limit."

Jiang Xinyu knew that this cotton ticket was not easy to get.

"Auntie, how many industrial tickets do you need for this iron pot?" The Yantai at home was empty and looked very uncomfortable.

"This eight-round iron pot costs twenty industrial tickets, and it costs eighteen yuan.

Girl, I don’t have that many industrial tickets.”

"Auntie, I'm just asking, go get the ticket."

The old lady now had a smile on her face and turned back to the room.

Jiang Xinyu left the door with satisfaction and hurried to find Wang Ailing.

The two of them didn't say anything. Wang Ailing took Jiang Xinyu's hand and quickly left the gate of the grain station.

"Sister, I still want to go to the grain station to see it."

"Don't go, you have something to eat, so keep the food coupons."

"Sister, let me tell you that the six yams have been replaced with four toilet paper tickets and one industrial ticket.

Let's go to the building to buy mirrors."

The two of them came to the building with baskets on their backs and received a lot of rolling eyes. They had to apologize to others if they accidentally met someone. This made Jiang Xinyu feel uncomfortable.
