Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

Chen Yuan went around the black market and bought ten pounds of potatoes, two pounds of radishes, a winter melon, and a cabbage, spending a total of one dollar and eighty-five cents.

Looking at the radishes and potatoes in the basket, Chen Yuan suddenly wanted to eat some leafy vegetables.

Winters in the north are cold, and no crops are grown in the fields. Everyone survives the winter on radishes and potatoes. It was only later, when plastic greenhouses were built, that people began to eat green leafy vegetables in winter.

Plastic sheeting is hard to find now, let alone in their small place, otherwise they could secretly grow some leafy vegetables.

When I have the chance to get a letter of introduction and go to the city, I can see if there is anyone selling plastic sheets.

Chen Yuan was thinking about something and his feet unconsciously walked to a stall selling rice.

"How much do you sell this rice?"

The man on the other side looked around warily, and after a long while, he finally replied, "14 cents a pound, no ticket needed."

Now the old rice in the supply and marketing cooperatives costs one pound, and the new rice costs one pound and fourteen cents, and you have to buy it with a ticket.

You can tell at a glance that the rice at this stall is not stale rice, so it’s better to buy it here.

"Give me ten pounds of rice."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan took out one dollar and four cents from his pocket and handed it to the person opposite him.

The skinny guy who sold cloth last time is not here today.

However, Chen Yuan had cloth coupons, so he could go to the supply and marketing cooperative later to buy cloth for Sun Weiwei and Yiyi to make new clothes for the New Year.

After finishing his shopping at the black market, Chen Yuan refilled his empty backpack and estimated that it was time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Walking south from the black market is the county supply and marketing cooperative. Villagers from several nearby communes have to come here to buy things.

After entering, Chen Yuan went straight to the cloth counter, intending to look at the cloth.

He promised Sun Weiwei that he would buy cloth this time, so he must do it.

The styles of cloth sold in the supply and marketing cooperative are similar to those on the black market, both in military green and navy blue, but the supply and marketing cooperative also has a pink floral cloth.

"Hello, I want to buy this floral fabric."

Just as Chen Yuan was about to take out the cloth coupons from his pocket, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, isn't this the second one?"

Chen Yuan frowned and looked at Chen Shan and Li Qinfen in front of him in silence.

"Why, you took so much money from our Chen family just to buy cloth for your wife?"

Li Qinfen put her hands on her hips and looked at Chen Yuan with dissatisfaction.

Last time, she failed to snatch the cloth from Chen Yuan, so she had to go back and talk a lot before the old lady was willing to give her money and cloth to make new clothes for Taotao.

Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative today, I saw Chen Yuan buying cloth again.

Now that we have met, we must let Chen Yuan buy cloth for Taotao.

Li Qinfen was thinking in her mind, so she went ahead and said to the salesperson, "Please help me cut the cloth first. I want military green and floral patterns."

When the salesperson saw that Li Qinfen wanted a lot, he immediately smiled and came forward to help Sun Weiwei cut the cloth.

"Oh, this floral fabric is so pretty!"

The salesperson even chased after Li Qinfen and praised her, "Sister, I think you are beautiful. If you wear clothes made of this cloth, you will definitely look like a city girl!"

After hearing this, Li Qinfen smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

As he was talking, the salesperson had already cut the cloth.

"Big sister, these two kinds of cloth cost six dollars plus two cloth coupons."

Li Qinfen nodded, pointed at Chen Yuan and said with a smile: "We are together, he pays."

The salesperson followed the direction of Li Qinfen's finger and looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan sneered, "Who is with you?"

"I'm here to buy cloth for my wife and daughter to make clothes. Are you my wife or my daughter?"

Chen Shan's face immediately darkened, and he pointed at Chen Yuan and cursed, "Second brother! Keep your mouth shut! How dare you talk to your sister-in-law like that?"

When the salesperson saw that several people were arguing, he thought that it was their family affair and that as long as someone paid for the cloth and the ticket, it would be fine.

"If you want to make a scene, go outside and make a scene! This is the supply and marketing cooperative, not a place for you to act wildly! Hurry up and pay the cloth coupons and money!"

Li Qinfen said to the salesperson in a very firm tone, "I don't have any money, go ask Chen Yuan for it!"

Chen Yuan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Why are you buying cloth when you have no money? Are you trying to show off?"

They made quite a bit of noise and soon someone noticed them.

"I see, the elder sister-in-law doesn't want to spend money, so she wants the younger brother-in-law to pay!"

"That man is not a good person either. His wife is about to become someone else's, how can he remain calm?"

"Why are you here to buy cloth if you don't have money? And you still want to pretend to be a city dweller?"

……

As the discussions grew louder, the curses continued to reach the ears of Li Qinfen and Chen Shan.

The two were so ashamed after being scolded that Chen Shan couldn't even raise his head.

Li Qinfen glared at Chen Yuan and urged, "Second Brother, give me the money quickly!"

Chen Yuan is not a sucker, so he doesn't care about the life and death of the Chen family.

"You want to be my daughter again?"

"You're too ugly, forget about being my wife!"

Chen Yuan's nonsense came out of his mouth, catching people off guard.

Li Qinfen snorted angrily, "Second brother! Stop trying to make connections!"

Chen Yuan nodded. "Yeah, we have nothing to do with each other. Why should I pay for you?"

The salesperson looked at Li Qinfen impatiently and taunted her, "I thought I was some rich person. You bought something without paying. Do you want to go to jail?"

When Li Qinfen heard that she was going to go to jail, she was so scared that her whole body shuddered.

"No, no, no! We can talk it over. I don't have that much money, can I give up this floral fabric? I just want the army green one!"

The salesperson shook his head and said seriously, "I've already cut it for you, but you say you don't want it. If everyone is like you, will this supply and marketing cooperative still be able to operate?"

These two sentences left Li Qinfen speechless.

Zhang Guixiang gave them ten yuan and asked them to come to the county today to buy cloth for Taotao to make new clothes and buy New Year's goods.

This year's Chinese New Year coincided with Zhang Guixiang's 66th birthday. Zhang Guixiang wanted to have a grand celebration, so she gave Li Qinfen extra money to buy New Year's goods.

Now all the money has been spent on buying cloth. I will definitely not be able to explain to Zhang Guixiang when I go back.

But if they don't pay, Li Qinfen and Chen Shan will be sent to jail.

She originally bought more because she thought Chen Yuan paid for it, but now she has shot herself in the foot!

There was no other way, Li Qinfen could only grit her teeth, take out the money, and add two more dollars from her own hidden pocket money.

After paying, the salesperson handed the cloth to Li Qinfen and turned to Chen Yuan and said, "Comrade, how much cloth do you want?"

Chen Yuan cleared his throat, raised his voice slightly, and said with a smile, "I'll buy as much as they buy. I want the navy blue one with floral patterns."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan took out the money and ticket from his pocket and handed them to the salesperson.

Only after seeing the money and ticket did the salesperson smile and cut the cloth for Chen Yuan.

"No problem! As long as you have money and tickets, it's fine. Unlike some people who have no money or tickets but still want to buy cloth!"

The two spoke in voices that were neither too loud nor too soft, and just reached the ears of Li Qinfen and Chen Shan who were walking to the door and preparing to leave.

Li Qinfen was so angry that she stamped her feet and pointed at Chen Shan and cursed, "It's all your fault! Can't you ask grandma for some money?"
