Chapter 10

Han Mingxiu took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw a stack of bills, big and small, including banknotes, cloth tickets and oil tickets. The biggest denomination in the banknotes was ten yuan, a total of twenty-two yuan and seventy-three cents. It was the ones she sent today, as well as eight foot cloth tickets and three Jin oil tickets.

In this era, the state has a certain limit on the annual consumption of cloth, grain and oil for the common people. For example, soybean oil, a citizen only has three jin of soybean oil a year, that is to say, a person can eat three liang of soybean oil a month at most.

This kind of oil is not enough for three days in modern times, but in this hard time, it's very good to have three liang of soybean oil in a month. Han Mingxiu, a little girl, doesn't even have three drops of oil in a month. She hasn't eaten a drop of oil for half a year!

Cloth tickets are only given to eight feet per person every year. Eight feet of cloth is only enough for an adult to make clothes. Farmers work in the fields in three seasons of the year, which costs a lot of clothes. Eight feet of cloth is not enough to wear.

Therefore, we have to carry forward the hard work and plain style of the new three years, the old three years and the mending three years. We all wear patched clothes. Some people can wear a single garment for decades, and the patched ones can't see the color of the original clothes.

Fortunately, everyone is like this, so no one will laugh at anyone.

Cloth ticket not only can buy cloth for clothes, but also can be used to buy cotton. A foot of cloth ticket can buy a kilo of cotton, but also ready-made clothes.

After Shen Ruolan got the cloth ticket, her first idea was to buy a few feet of white cloth and a few Jin of top-grade cotton.

In my memory, the original owner has already had his menstruation. During his menstruation, he uses a monthly event to cope with it. The so-called monthly event belt is something similar to a sanitary napkin sewn with cotton cloth, but the normal sanitary napkin is wrapped with cotton, and the monthly event belt is wrapped with burnt rice straw ash. The sanitary napkin is disposable. When the monthly event belt is used up, the straw ash inside is poured out, Wash, dry and use next month.

Han Mingxiu can't stand this. She wants to buy a few feet of white cotton cloth to make disposable sanitary napkins with white cotton cloth and white cotton. Although it sounds a bit wasteful, she can't help it. She really can't accept the monthly belt wrapped with straw ash!

"Xiuwa, you see, your uncle has sent all your things back to you. In the future, there will be people talking to their wives in the village. You have to help uncle, but they can't be so blind to eliminate people any more!"

When Han Zhide saw that Han Mingxiu had finished counting all the things, he put forward his own requirements at the right time.

Han Mingxiu was quite strange. What did the captain say? How can you let the second uncle, who is willing to give up his life and money, obediently send back the money, food and tickets to her?

Now when she heard that, she understood a little.

Maybe the second uncle was afraid that his family's reputation of bullying his orphan niece and nephew would affect his eldest brother's marriage, so he took pains to return the things!

The big brother is nineteen years old. He is old enough to marry his daughter-in-law. Now the second uncle and the second aunt are looking for a good girl for him. They are ready to help him marry his daughter-in-law. I think they have to bear the pain to return the things because they are afraid of the bad reputation in the family and the good girl won't come into his house!

However, after further consideration, I don't think it's possible that the things returned by the second uncle are not three yuan and five yuan. The old money's grain ticket will be worth at least seventy or eighty yuan. It's impossible to make such a big sacrifice for their reputation just because of their wild goose nature?

After thinking for a long time, she didn't understand what was going on, so she was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, the things came back, and she would take them as soon as they were ready. As for why they would return the things to her, it was the captain's skill.

"Don't worry, uncle. If I hear anyone gossiping, I'll tell them about it. I can't let them bury you!" Han Mingxiu put the money and tickets into his pocket and assured Han Zhide happily.

Han Zhide looked at the money and tickets in his niece's pocket, put aside his eyes, and said, "that's right. You say that the people in our village are really good. What's the matter with our old Han family? All of them have no choice but to chew their tongues... "

When he said these words, Han Zhide didn't have much hatred in his heart, or he would make them blind. Could he return the money and food tickets? Even if he only returned it for two months, he was not at ease. The money would be in his pocket and the food would be in his home. Who knows if she would spend money and eat food?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he was, especially when he saw that bags of grain were placed under the wall of his niece's house. He wanted to jump up and pick them back, so he could not see it and was upset. He stood up and said, "there's something else at home. I'll go back first."

It's better to go, so as not to worry about looking at those things here!

Out of politeness, Han Mingxiu sent him to the door. Before he left the door, Han Zhide asked, "you told me not to spend money indiscriminately, and you can't eat it with fine grain. If you ask her to find out whether you will lead a chaotic life, these things will be put back to her."

"I know, uncle!"

Han Mingxiu skin smile meat not smile of agreed a. But she said in her heart, it's shameless. Money and food are hers. She can spend whatever she wants and eat whatever she wants. Is it none of their business? What kind of food are they? Why don't they care how she lives? Why don't they go to heaven?

When Han Zhide left, Han Mingxiu spat at his back and went back to the house.

She had to feed the chicken first. The chicken had been brought here in the morning, and she had not eaten yet. She was so hungry that she was growling. She planned to keep the chicken well, so that she could lay eggs for her.

After returning to the house, she took out a cabbage from the space, scraped off two withered cabbage leaves, chopped them dangdangly on the vegetable board, and put them in a broken bowl with a hole in the mouth. She was ready to use this bowl as a chicken bowl in the future, and sprinkled a handful of sorghum rice on those chopped cabbage leaves.

After sprinkling, this guy gives her to those who are distressed. Nowadays, people can't eat it. He gives food to chickens. It's so luxurious_ T。

However, heartache comes from heartache. She also knows that she can't give up her child and can't catch the wolf. If you want the chicken to lay eggs for her, you have to fatten the chicken well. Otherwise, the chicken can barely live. How can she have the strength to lay eggs for her?

After feeding the chickens, she took them to the henhouse in the back garden. There was a henhouse at home. Once upon a time, her parents raised one or two chickens every year for the Spring Festival.

In order to prevent the chicken from flying out, she specially beat the arm of the chicken (northern dialect, which means cutting off the long feathers on the wings of the chicken), so that it is safe!
