A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

"Mom, there are too many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"

"Isn't this normal? The supply is already tight right now. If you come earlier, you won't even be able to buy vegetable leaves."

"So what do we start buying?"

"Of course it's meat. Your father and I will line up to buy meat. You must remember to stay close to us and don't go too far."

"understood."

A few minutes later, it was Meng Qiuping's turn to buy meat. She saw that there was only some lean meat and bones left on the stall, so she asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is this lean meat per pound?"

"Lean meat is second-grade meat, 60 cents a pound, plus a pound of meat ticket."

"How many kilograms can one person buy at most?"

"Two pounds."

"Then please weigh two kilograms of lean meat for me."

"I also want two kilograms of lean meat. Comrade, could you please weigh two kilograms for me as well?"

"Get in line and wait for this comrade to finish his purchase before you buy. Otherwise, if everyone does the same as you, how can we continue our work?"

After hearing what the salesperson said, Chu Anshan touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect that the current salespersons had such a rigorous work attitude.

It seems that he still can't fully adapt to the life of this era for the time being.

"Dad, are you okay?" Seeing her father being lectured, Chu Yiling moved to his side and asked.

"Of course it's okay. Your dad has seen a lot of things. This is nothing."

"Then go buy some meat, and ask if the bones need tickets. If not, I'll follow you and buy two."

"Okay." Chu Anshan went to buy meat after he finished speaking. He also asked Chu Yiling if she needed a ticket to buy bones.

When he heard that no ticket was needed, he shamelessly asked the salesperson to sell him one, and then he happily carried the meat and bones he had bought to meet Meng Qiuping.

"Young comrade, are you here to buy meat too?" the salesperson asked when he saw a little girl who was almost as tall as the butcher standing in front of the stall.

"Yes, I want to buy two bones."

"Does your family know that you are here to buy bones?"

"Yes, the money was given to me by my mother. She is buying groceries over there."

After hearing Chu Yiling's words, the salesperson looked towards the vegetable stall and saw that there were too many people there. She didn't know who the little girl was referring to.

But since the little girl's family asked her to buy the bones, there shouldn't be any problem.

So she picked up two bones with some shredded meat on them and weighed them. Seeing that they weighed exactly three pounds, she said to the girl, "These two bones weigh exactly three pounds, and they cost a total of ninety-six cents."

"Okay." Chu Yiling handed the money to the salesperson after she finished speaking. Then she reached out to take the bone from the salesperson and turned to walk towards Meng Qiuping.

When she walked in front of Meng Qiuping, she handed the bone to her and said, "Mom, I'm awesome, right?"

"Great! I'll make you some bone soup when we get back."

"Thanks, Mom. What are we going to buy next?"

"Cakes and candies. As for vegetables, we can exchange them with the villagers when we get back."

"Okay, I want to eat White Rabbit Milk Candy. I've heard people say that the White Rabbit Milk Candy at this time is not only full of milk flavor, but also not sticky to the teeth. It is completely different from the White Rabbit Milk Candy I ate when I was a child."

"No problem. We'll just buy one portion each like we did with the meat. This way it won't be too conspicuous."

After hearing what Meng Qiuping said, Chu Yiling and Chu Anshan nodded, and they went to the pastry counter with Meng Qiuping to line up.
