Become a burden in a period novel

Dong Shaofang used to think that Aunt Luo was the same as other families in the brigade, but she only found out in the past few days that Aunt Luo had a son who was a soldier and sent her a lot of money and tickets every quarter.

Aunt Luo was capable herself. Although she didn't wear very nice clothes, she was indeed the wealthiest family in the brigade.

These days, she watched coldly as Aunt Luo brought meals to Qin Wangshu, even some pancakes made of white flour.

Dong Shaofang didn’t take these things seriously before, but after eating the coarse grains that irritated her throat for the past few days, she became even more jealous of Qin Wangshu’s treatment.

They all did the same work, but Qin Wangshu was able to eat more at noon and in the afternoon. Many times, Aunt Luo didn't eat herself but gave the food to Qin Wangshu.

Dong Shaofang looked at Qin Wangshu over there with some self-mutilation. Although she was resting at the moment and Qin Wangshu was still busy in the fields, she still felt it was very unfair.

"Dong Zhiqing, have you had a good rest? It's time for us to go back to work." Liang Hong walked to Dong Shaofang and pushed her.

"I, I understand, Sister Liang." Dong Shaofang came back to her senses.

She stood up and saw that the female educated youth who were resting here had also stood up, put down their teacups, and walked back to the fields.

"Let's go!" Liang Hong called Dong Shaofang and prepared to walk towards the fields they had allocated.

They had already rested for more than ten minutes. If they rested any longer, their work points would be deducted. The work these female educated youth did was relatively easy, and they didn't get many work points. If they rested any longer, they would probably get even fewer work points.

After a few days of busy work, they finally had some free time. In fact, Qin Wangshu's work was not very heavy in the next few days. Aunt Luo specially greeted the team leader and asked her to go to the threshing ground.

The work in the threshing ground was not hard, and was usually assigned to half-grown children and the elderly. Qin Wangshu was not tall now, so it was not out of place for him to be with these children.

Although this job didn't pay much, it was a very leisurely one. All one had to do was turn over the grain and chase away sparrows.

"Aunt, I'm fine. Let's go." Qin Wangshu put on his best clothes again.

These days she was working in old clothes, patched up with patches, which made the people in the team no longer feel alienated from her as they did from the city people.

It was also from Qin Wangshu that they learned that not everyone in the city lived a good life. Looking at Qin Wangshu's clothes and figure, they felt that the people in the city were not much better than them.

"Okay, you still look smart in this outfit!" Aunt Luo praised Qin Wangshu. "Do you have cloth coupons? If you do, buy some cloth and I'll make you a dress. If you don't, I have some here and I can lend it to you."

"Aunt, I have some." She not only had cloth coupons, but also some defective cloth from the textile factory, which were processed internally by the textile factory.

Although it is a defective cloth, it is just dyed unevenly or the pattern is printed incorrectly, which does not affect its use at all.

However, all these fabrics were placed together with her large luggage. She only took a few clothes, daily necessities and an old bed sheet with her.

"Okay, take the ticket and let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative." Aunt Luo didn't ask any further questions. Although she really wanted to help this poor girl, she had to get her to accept it.

"Yeah." Qin Wangshu nodded.

When they went out, it was still dark. Aunt Luo walked in front and Qin Wangshu walked one step behind her.

When they reached the place where the oxcart was parked, there were already several people there. Qin Wangshu glanced at these people and did not see the educated youth, only some fellow villagers from the brigade.

Qin Wangshu followed Aunt Luo to the car and found a seat to sit down. Not long after they arrived, a few more people came, and then the car started to move forward slowly.

"It's going to take some time to get to the commune, Xiao Qin, do you want to take a nap?" Aunt Luo looked at Qin Wangshu's little face.

"No need, Aunt Luo, please tell me about the Qianshan Brigade." Qin Wangshu couldn't sleep at all at this moment, let alone being in a car like this.

On the way, Qin Wangshu listened to Aunt Luo talk a lot about the Qianshan Brigade, and he also got to know more about this place.

After arriving at the commune, they asked about the return time and then left.

The first place they went to was the supply and marketing cooperative. Qin Wangshu also took out the money and tickets separately in advance. She prepared the tickets for everything that could be bought there.

Aunt Luo didn't want to buy anything, but she brought some tickets with her to see if she could be lucky enough to get one.

The supply and marketing cooperative in their commune was relatively small, and once good things came out, they were quickly sold out. Even with tickets and money, it was difficult to buy them.

Aunt Luo couldn't come to the commune often, so she often couldn't buy what she wanted. She was afraid that the tickets would expire, so she often exchanged them.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative this time, as expected, there were not many things. The people in the supply and marketing cooperative were idle and chatting behind the counter, and they didn't greet them when they came in.

Qin Wangshu had already gotten used to this kind of service attitude and just looked at the merchandise here.

In fact, she lacked a lot of things, but there were not many that could be bought here. Qin Wangshu took out her food coupons and sugar coupons and bought some food and sugar.

Brown sugar and white sugar were in short supply and were sold out as soon as they arrived. She bought hard candy bars, which didn't require a ticket but were more expensive than white sugar.

Qin Wangshu wanted to buy some more candy. It was said that White Rabbit candy was now available, but the small supply and marketing cooperative in this commune did not have it. She could only put away her candy ticket and prepare to go to the county town next time.

She also bought some snacks. She didn't buy too many snacks because it was summer and the snacks wouldn't last long.

As for the malted milk, milk powder, and canned food mentioned in the article, these were luxury goods and were not available. However, the supply and marketing cooperative had a new batch of towels, which looked very good.

Aunt Luo bought two towels. The towels at home were already very old, and she happened to see some, so she bought two.

Qin Wangshu saw the towels that Aunt Luo bought, and she also bought a few.

"Why buy so much?" Aunt Luo was a little confused.

"My towels are all old. I bought some more this time because I happened to see them. It's not easy to come here once." Qin Wangshu put away the towels.

Qin Wangshu didn't plan to use those old towels. If other things were hard to buy, she would have replaced everything.

"Yeah, it's not easy to come here." Aunt Luo looked at other goods to see if there was anything else she needed.

After the two came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they both took some things.

"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch," Qin Wangshu suggested.
