In the following chat, Li Yiyi realized that life was really difficult for the old Jiang family.
Although the old Jiang family had a large labor force and earned a lot of work points, the weather was not kind to them. There had been droughts every year in the past few years, and the grain harvests they grew were not very good at all.
The next day, Li Yiyi decided to use the excuse of going to the city to improve the living conditions of the big family.
After all, she now has such a huge space supermarket. If she doesn't use it, she would really be a fool.
"I'm going out for something, please take good care of the two children." She thought of it and immediately found Jiang Hong who was training in the yard.
Jiang Hong looked at her worriedly and asked, "What's the matter? Do you want me to go with you?"
Li Yiyi immediately said, "No, just keep an eye on them at home. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something for women. You men don't understand."
Hearing these words used by the woman, Jiang Hong immediately thought of something, his earlobes immediately turned red, and he said in a squeaky voice, "Okay, come back soon."
Li Yiyi nodded, went to find the two siblings who were playing on the bed, and said seriously, "You should listen to your father at home and take a nap. Mom will go out for something and will bring you delicious food when she comes back." .”
The two siblings responded in unison, "Okay."
After taking care of the two younger ones, Li Yiyi got on her bicycle and left the house, carrying a military green cross-body bag.
With the help of this bicycle, she reached the county town easily.
The county seat is the county seat. Compared with the mountain villages, it is still very prosperous. Shops, department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and state-owned hotels can be seen everywhere.
She entered the supply and marketing cooperative here. As soon as she walked in, there were not many types of things inside, and many of them were out of stock.
Li Yiyi walked to the counter and found the staff to inquire about the prices of grain, oil, rice and noodles here.
As a result, after they glanced at her, they quoted a few prices indifferently.
Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, Li Yiyi was not angry. She knew that in this era, the status of the staff working here was enviable and made people feel superior.
After getting the price she wanted, she smiled at the other party, turned around and left.
When the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative saw that she didn't buy anything after asking about the price, he cursed at her back with contempt, "country bumpkin, if you can't afford it, don't ask, you're too troublesome."
Li Yiyi, who had already left the supply and marketing cooperative, naturally did not hear these words.
After walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she did not leave immediately, but stood near the door.
Soon, she heard a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming out.
"Hey, the food price has been too high recently. It keeps rising every day, and there is often a shortage of food. How can we live like this?" The old woman said dejectedly.
The young woman's face was a little sallow, and she looked like she was about to cry. She said to the old woman who was supporting her, "Mom, what should I do? Baozhu at home is still waiting to be eaten. He is still so young, so he can't be hungry." It’s burning.”
Li Yiyi stood aside and listened to all their words. After they passed by her, she immediately followed them as if they were leaving.
After reaching a place with few people, she immediately quickened her pace to catch up with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and told them in a low voice, "Auntie, sister-in-law, I just heard you say that you want to buy food, right?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled by her rushing figure at the same time.
Seeing their frightened faces, Li Yiyi quickly explained to them, "Don't get me wrong, I'm from a nearby village. I have some leftover food at home. I'm in a bit of trouble. I want to exchange it for some money to help with the emergency."
After hearing her explanation, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
The young woman immediately looked at her excitedly and asked, "Sister, listen to what you just asked, do you have grain to sell? How much is it?"
Li Yiyi slowly stretched out a hand, "Ten pounds of white rice and ten pounds of refined flour, do you want them?"
"Yes, yes." Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shouted together.
The old woman thought of something at this time and pulled the arm of the wife beside her, "Sister, can I ask the price?"
Li Yiyi smiled and quoted a price close to that of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"So expensive." When the old woman heard the price, she immediately frowned.
Li Yiyi was not in a hurry and explained to her seriously, "Auntie, this is not expensive anymore. The supply and marketing cooperative also told me that the price is similar. Others require tickets, but I don't need tickets. It's only a dime more, so it's a lot cheaper." Woolen cloth."
The young woman was worried that she would regret it, and she didn't care about her mother-in-law. She quickly told Li Yiyi, "Yes, we want them all."
Seeing this, Li Yiyi smiled and said, "Okay, you guys wait for me here. I'll get the things and I'll be back soon."
After she walked a little further, she found a hidden corner that no one passed by. While there was no one around, she immediately ducked into the space supermarket.
After the inspection at the supply and marketing cooperative just now, Li Yiyi went into the supermarket and took out the rice and noodles requested by the customer, taking out ten kilograms of each.
When I went to check out, I passed by the daily necessities area and saw towels on sale there, ten for ten dollars, so I ended up taking ten.
After coming out of the space supermarket, she immediately carried these things back to the place where she had traded with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still there.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. This is what you want. Take a look." She put two bags of rice and noodles in front of them.
The eyes of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately lit up. They opened the bag one after another. When they saw the large white rice and refined flour inside, they took a deep breath at the same time.
The grains of this rice are crystal clear and full. It smells like rice, and the flour is very smooth when you hold it in your hands. It is not easy to form lumps. At first glance, it looks like high-quality white noodles.
"How's it going? Is my rice and noodles okay?" Li Yiyi asked confidently.
The old woman coughed slightly, "It's just average. It's still too expensive. It would be better if it was cheaper."
The young woman next to her heard this and glanced at her mother-in-law next to her in disbelief.
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, seeing through the old lady's trick at a glance, "Since you two are not satisfied with my product, forget it, I'll sell it to others." After saying that, she went to take the two bags in their hands.
When the old woman heard this, she immediately became anxious. She quickly held the bag in her hand tightly and said a little unhappy, "You lesbian, why are you so silent about it? I can't do it even if I say it." , don’t take it away, we all want it.”
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled. She knew exactly what the old lady had planned before, but she would not accept the old lady's tricks.
"Okay, let's pay the price we mentioned before. Also, if you buy more, I'll give you an extra towel," she said.
