Chapter XXXVIII

The supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run hotels are one town east and one town west.

The gate of the supply and marketing cooperatives is a very large wooden door, and there is a very high road at the door, almost as far as the wooden sill of Qin Ranran's little belly legs.

Walking in, the counter is about a meter high, and the left and right ends are made of wood, only the front is separated by a few pieces of transparent glass.

The cabinet is divided into three layers, and each floor is placed with various clothing, shoes, hats, towels, handkerchiefs, department store stationery, enamel aluminum products, pastries, tobacco and alcohol, bottled soy sauce, vinegar, soap and other daily necessities.

On the top of the cabinet, a row of two-tiered glass jars slanted out.

The jars on the first floor contain salt, sugar, brown sugar, etc.

The jar on the second floor contains melon seeds, peanuts, white rabbit toffee and fruit candy.

In addition to the row of glass jars, there is also a small scale, and next to the scale is an abacus.

Behind the cabinet sat an old man with glasses, wearing a green military coat on the outside, a gray Mao suit on the inside, and a Lei Feng hat on his head.

Seeing Qin Ranran coming in, she just lowered her head, squinted at Qin Ranran, and saw the tattered clothes she was wearing and the big basket behind her, it didn't look like she was here to buy something.

He withdrew his eyes, returned to the old newspaper he was holding, and casually picked up the large enamel teapot at hand and took a sip of tea.

Qin Ranran didn't care, her eyes looked curiously at the cabinet behind the uncle, and the cabinet in the middle was hung with blue and black plain cloth fabric.

Next to it were some kettles, hot water bottles, hats, umbrellas and stuff like that.

Qin Ranran looked at the fabric, and then looked down at his shoes and pants.

took a breath, squeezed out a smile that he thought was very sweet, and said to the uncle, "Uncle, are you collecting things here?" ”

"Something? What do you have to sell? ”

The uncle's suspicious eyes looked at Qin Ranran, and his serious expression frightened Qin Ranran's heart.

Qin Ranran's eyes rolled, then he grabbed his messy hair and smiled innocently, and said, "My father went up the mountain to chop wood and caught a rabbit." So, I wanted to ask you if you want it. My father said that if he could exchange money, he would buy me a piece of cloth and make new clothes to wear. ”

This situation is not uncommon, the uncle listened, and the expression on his face eased slightly.

Then he asked, "Does your father have a cloth ticket?" ”

When Qin Ranran heard his uncle's words, he was dumbfounded.

What?

"Cloth ...... Cloth tickets? ”

What's that?

The uncle looked at Qin Ranran's confused expression, and couldn't help but show a trace of pity.

Even if the rabbit is still meat, there are very few people who are willing to sell meat and buy cloth for children to make clothes, or buy fabric for a girl.

The Lord looked at the boy as if he were in town.

In the countryside and countryside, it is already very rare to be able to get a foot of cloth ticket!

When someone hasn't held a happy event, these cloth tickets are basically reserved for happy events.

This child's father is obviously fooling the child to be ignorant!

"Didn't your dad tell you that you need a ticket to buy something?"

After speaking, he shook his head, feeling that Qin Ranran was completely here to make trouble, and he didn't ask anything else, just waved his hand at her, signaled Qin Ranran to leave, and didn't bother with Qin Ranran anymore.

Qin Ranran didn't dare to ask anything else, for fear of revealing his feet, so he could only pretend to be sad, wiped his eyes, and turned to leave.
