Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge

What should you do first after making money?

Of course they spent money. Xue Xiaozhu took Luo Xiufen to the supply and marketing cooperative with a bag of money.

The two of them walked around and found that they couldn't buy what they wanted because there were no tickets.

Looking at the enamel basin with colorful patterns on the bottom, Xue Xiaozhu felt that his own wooden basin was also good.

If she didn't use a ticket, she would have to spend dozens of dollars.

"Next time, ask that Wu Jun and see if he can get food coupons."

In fact, when selling eggs, Xue Xiaozhu also asked the people in the family compound.

I asked them if I could exchange them for food coupons and cloth coupons, but no one was willing to do so.

The main reason is that these two types of tickets are rare, and you have to use food tickets to buy food.

Not to mention cloth coupons, many people who make clothes have earned coupons for several years.

Nowadays, anything that requires a ticket to buy is basically sold very tightly.

"I can't buy anything. It's really frustrating just looking at it." Xue Xiaozhu sighed.

Luo Xiufen thought it was a good thing that she couldn’t buy it, as she could save some money to go home!

"We'll buy it when we have tickets. It would be great if we had cloth coupons."

She saw that her two daughters' clothes were all made of quilts, so she wanted to buy some cloth to make new clothes for them.

"I want to too! How about we go to the department store and have a look." There were ready-made clothes for sale there, and Xue Xiaozhu wanted to see if he could buy anything with the money in his pocket.

Neither of them had been to the department store before, but Xue Xiaozhu felt very comfortable when she went in.

Luo Xiufen looked at the department store and nervously grabbed her daughter's hand.

"Xiao Zhu, this looks so expensive, let's not look at it!"

"Why? Since we're here, let's see what's going on. It's okay, just take a walk."

Seeing that she always wanted to go out, Xue Xiaozhu took her hand and went into a clothing store.

The store sells women's clothes. The clothes don't have price tags, so you have to ask the salesperson.

"Hey, don't touch it. If you break it, you can't afford to pay for it." When the salesperson saw the looks of Xue Xiaozhu and the other man, he knew that they were poor and didn't have much money.

"What? Do I have a knife on my finger? It could break if I touch it."

"These clothes are not yours, why are you in such a hurry?" Xue Xiaozhu retorted without any hesitation. Clothes are put out for people to see.

The salesperson didn't expect that this country bumpkin would dare to refute him.

"What are you talking about! Get out of here right now! You're smelling of mud!"

"Do you know how much this shirt costs? Fifteen dollars. Can you afford it?"

The people around were accustomed to the salesperson's attitude.

Yes, the salespersons at the supply and marketing cooperative are like this too, always cursing at the slightest provocation.

"Xiaozhu, let's go out!" Luo Xiufen was so irritated by other people's gazes that she didn't dare to raise her head.

Xue Xiaozhu saw that she looked uncomfortable and did not force her to stay here.

"Mom, hold your head up and don't think it's your fault."

"It's the salesperson's attitude that's wrong. It's not like we really don't have any money in our pockets."

The clothes here are not worth buying. Are you crazy to spend fifteen dollars on a top?

In her opinion, it was not worth fifteen dollars to put on clothes.

Of course Luo Xiufen knew that her daughter had money to buy clothes, but she just felt uncomfortable.

These people look down on them, but they have already worked very hard to make a living.

"It's okay if they look down on me. Mom just doesn't want them to look down on you."

It would be fine if she was wronged, but Luo Xiufen just didn't want her daughter to suffer as well.

Because of her weakness, her two daughters had already suffered a lot of injustice.

"Okay, let's not hang around here anymore." Xue Xiaozhu hugged her.

I looked at the sun in the sky and it should be past twelve o'clock. My stomach was so hungry.

"Mom, let's go eat something so we can have enough energy to go home."

When she heard that she had to eat in the city, Luo Xiufen was reluctant to spend the money.

She thought it would be the same when she got home, Xiaotao might have already made lunch!

But I thought about how tired my daughter must be after riding her bike for so long and shouting to sell things.

"Mom, let's have a bowl of noodles." Xue Xiaozhu saw a small noodle stall. Such a stall did not require food coupons. If you went to a state-owned restaurant to eat, you would have to bring your own food coupons.

They didn't have any tickets on them, so they couldn't get any food even if they went in.

"Mom is not hungry, just eat it." Luo Xiufen wanted to save some money.

"Auntie, cook two bowls of noodles. I brought eggs with me. Can you help fry them?" Xue Xiaozhu also took out two eggs, but they were a little small.

When selling eggs, she snatched away the two youngest ones.

After hearing this, the noodle auntie smiled and nodded: "Sure, why not?"

The two customers ordered two bowls of noodles, and frying an egg was just a piece of cake.

"Thank you, auntie. Mom, come, sit here." Xue Xiaozhu pulled her to sit down.

"We need to eat well before we can continue our journey, right? If we faint from hunger on the road, that would be even more troublesome. We would have to spend more money to go to the clinic."

This made sense, and Luo Xiufen held back what she was about to say.

She felt that she was not really hungry and one bowl was enough for her daughter.

A bowl of noodles costs 20 cents, and Luo Xiufen is not willing to spend that money.

However, when the aroma of the bone soup wafted over, Luo Xiufen felt her stomach rumbling again. It was not that she was not hungry, but she just endured it out of habit.

"The noodles are here." Auntie cooked two bowls of noodles and covered them with fried eggs.

Xue Xiaozhu stood up and took a bowl of noodles. The smell made her mouth water.

"Mom, eat quickly, then we'll go home." Picking up the chopsticks, Xue Xiaozhu first took a sip of the soup, a milky white bone soup, which was really delicious after one gulp.

This bone soup must have been cooked for a long time. I glanced at the stove at the noodle stall.

Having a stove is convenient. You just need to change the coal and you don’t have to worry about the fire going out.

It was the first time for Luo Xiufen to eat noodles in the city. Her eyes lit up after she drank a sip of the soup. In the past, when she came to the city, she could only endure hunger or drink the water she brought with her.

Drinking water cannot make you full, but it can fill your stomach so that it doesn’t have time to crave food.

"Mom, is it delicious?" Xue Xiaozhu asked when she saw her eyes shining while eating.

"This noodle is delicious." Luo Xiufen had a very satisfied smile on her face. She felt that everything in the city was delicious, and the noodles were cooked better than hers.

That’s not the case. It’s mainly because they use bone broth as the soup base and are generous with the seasoning.

If the noodle stalls like this one had bad food, they wouldn’t have survived until now.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Xue Xiaozhu sat back contentedly, feeling comfortable.

Sure enough, when people have oil and water in their stomachs, they will not feel so empty in their hearts.

"Auntie, will your stall be open all day?" Xue Xiaozhu took out forty cents from his pocket, handed it to his aunt, and chatted with her.

"No, it's only open for lunch and dinner, but I dare not open it for too long." The aunt took the forty cents, counted them carefully, and replied with a smile.

She set up a small stall where she lives.
