After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

But time did not allow Uncle Zhang to be alone with his wild thoughts. He watched the educated youths in the Youth League find their desired items one after another.

When he was about to take it outside the hospital to trade, he put aside all the chaotic emotions in his mind.

Walking straight towards the rice and flour area, he thought about the 30 yuan he had on him and didn't know how much he could buy here.

So he stopped Liu Zhipeng, who was closest to where he was storing rice and flour, and asked:

"Hey, Liu Zhiqing, I don't know how much rice and flour are sold here per pound. How much can I buy with my 30 yuan?

Now that I know the specific price, it will be easier for me to decide. I don't have much money left, so I'd like to ask how many kilograms I can get without a ticket."

Liu Zhipeng, who was pulled over to be asked questions, was also stunned for a moment, but he carefully recalled the prices he had paid for these things in the past.

Finally, I found the corresponding price in the corner of my memory. After thinking about it, I said to the old man in front of me:

“You can buy what you want here with or without a ticket. It’s just a little more expensive without a ticket, but not much more expensive than at the food stand.

If you have a ticket, rice and flour are 1.5 yuan per pound, if you don't have a ticket, it's 2 yuan per pound."

After learning about the basic price, Uncle Zhang thought about it. Nowadays, whether it is last year's old rice or other rice, the cheapest rice with a ticket costs about 1.2 yuan in the supply and marketing cooperatives and grain stations. If there is no ticket, it will be more expensive, probably around 1.7.

Now, the grains in this small courtyard are much better in quality and appearance than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives or food stations, and the prices have not risen to as outrageous levels as those in the black market.

After learning all this and comparing the accounts in his mind, Uncle Zhang decisively chose to use all his money to buy food. After all, this opportunity is rare.

However, after seeing the white flour and the plump rice, Uncle Zhang began to worry about how to better allocate the money. After all, he wanted to buy both.

Seeing Mr. Zhang struggling next to him, Liu Zhiqing, who had just told him the basic prices of these items, kindly suggested:

"Uncle Zhang, since you don't know how much you want to buy, why don't you just divide the money into two equal parts, 15 yuan for rice and 15 yuan for flour? That way you can buy the same amount and don't have to worry about it anymore."

When Mr. Zhang heard about the equal distribution, he thought it was a good idea, so he thought about it and agreed.

It’s just that Uncle Zhang didn’t usually go to the food station or the supply and marketing cooperative to buy so much food, and he never spent so much money.

Because all the money he had was with his wife, and all the things in the house were bought by her.

So Uncle Zhang was not very good at calculating accounts, so after looking at the warm and kind Liu Zhiqing next to him, Uncle Zhang rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said:

"Okay, let's do it this way. 15 yuan for rice and 15 yuan for flour. But I'm not very good at accounting. Could you please help me calculate how many kilograms of rice and flour I can buy? I only have 30 yuan, and I only want to buy these two things!"

Hearing that it was just such a small matter, Liu Zhiqing agreed without hesitation, and silently calculated in his mind and said:

"Okay, I'll do the math. Once I'm done, just tell the guy over there and have him weigh out the rice and flour for you. Then you can just hand him the money. It'll save a lot of trouble this way. Don't worry, no one in this yard will cheat you."

After Liu Zhipeng watched Uncle Zhang finish speaking, he said to him:

"Rice and flour here are all the same price. If you don't have a ticket, it's 2 yuan per catty. For 30 yuan, you can buy 7.5 catties of rice and 7.5 catties of flour."

When he heard that he could buy more than 7 kilograms of rice and flour, Uncle Zhang happily called the young man over.

After telling him that he wanted 7.5 kilograms of rice and 7.5 kilograms of flour, he watched Zhou Jie weigh the flour and flour.

After seeing that he had helped Uncle Zhang, Liu Zhiqing happily left the place where he sold rice and flour and went to look for what he wanted.

In the end, each educated youth chose some food they wanted or other nourishing things such as candies or biscuits.

This time they did not buy most fruits. After all, they had picked a lot of wild fruits in the mountains after the autumn harvest.

Now there are so many fruits in my yard that I can’t eat them all, so I have to make them into dried fruits and candied fruits. So I just took two or three fruits from the yard.

Most of the educated youth chose to buy a lot of candies and biscuits to eat as sweets during the New Year.

Seeing the educated youth spending money on candies, biscuits and the like without blinking an eye, Uncle Zhang realized how outrageous the rumors in the brigade were.

Uncle Zhang knew about it, but he didn't intend to care. After all, if there were those rumors in the brigade, it would be a good thing for the educated youth in the small educated youth courtyard. He didn't want such good educated youth to be harassed by those bad people in the brigade.

Finally, when everyone saw that both the educated youth and Uncle Zhang had bought the things they liked, they packed all the things into the bags they brought.

After filling the bags with things, they tied them up tightly and carried them onto the ox cart. Those who wanted to ride the ox cart got on the ox cart, and those who wanted to ride bicycles got on their bicycles. Only then did they leave the yard feeling satisfied.

Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone gave up the idea of ​​going to the state-owned restaurant and decided to go straight back to the team. After all, they could just have lunch in the yard.

Because they had earned more than 100 yuan, they did not feel sad about not going to the state-owned restaurant to eat. Instead, they enthusiastically talked about their gains and feelings on the ox cart.

Uncle Zhang, who had received practical help, was also happily chatting with the educated youth from the Youth League on the ox cart.

This time, Grandpa Zhang did not charge them for renting the ox cart, because he felt that the candies that Xia Zhiqing gave to his grandson today and the fact that he brought him to this courtyard today were enough to offset the cost of the ox cart.

If you calculate it this way, he still gets a lot of advantage, so he feels embarrassed to accept the money for renting the ox cart, and the educated youth in the small educated youth home are also happy to see this scene.

After all, if Uncle Zhang didn't accept the money, it could be considered as a favor for them to bring him to the yard today, so the two parties returned to the team in peace.
