In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Luo Yu took Li Kexin's hand with emotion, "Don't worry, I'm fine. By the way, I found a job. I came to you this time because I wanted to ask you for help. I want to buy some things for my dorm, but I don't have many coupons."

Luo Yu, thick-skinned and not at all embarrassed, stated his future intentions frankly.

Li Kexin smiled and shook Luo Yu's hand back. "Hey, I thought it was something serious. Is that all? Okay, no problem. Wait here, I'll take you to the back and tell my mom so she can find you something nice."

After Li Kexin finished speaking, she returned to the store, told her master, and then turned around and pulled Luo Yu to run to the back of the store.

Behind the store is a row of small bungalows, which also belong to the store and are used as warehouses. The two rooms at the front of the building are the manager's offices.

After passing two offices, the two quickly arrived at the warehouse, where Li's mother, Feng Minzhi, was the warehouse keeper of the Western Store.

It was cold, and the warehouse door was closed. Li Kexin knocked on the door, but no one answered. Then a middle-aged woman wearing a Zhongshan suit and with neat short hair came out.

"Why did you come here? Why aren't you studying with your master? What are you doing here?"

Feng Minzhi led Li Kexin's cold little hand into the house, and Luo Yu followed.

"Mom, I brought Luo Yu here to pick out some things. She found a job, and her dorm is short of things."

Upon hearing that Luo Yu had arrived, Feng Minzhi turned her head sharply to look at the door, her smile widening.

"It's Luo Yu! It's been a while. Come and warm yourself by the fire."

Holding a little girl's hand in each hand, Feng Minzhi sat them down by the stove at the door and made them brown sugar water to warm their hands.

"Thank you, Aunt Feng."

"No need to thank me, drink it quickly. Drinking more brown sugar water is good for your health."

Luo Yu smiled, took a sip from the enamel mug, and felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

"Auntie, I want to buy some things. You know my family... I'm going to move into the dormitory, but they won't allow it. I probably won't be able to bring any of my things with me, so..."

Feng Minzhi waved her hand magnanimously, "Don't say anything, I understand. This is easy. You can go in and pick out your own items in a bit. Just pay for what you like. It's okay to take a little more. I'll talk to your uncle later. He's just a manager, he can handle this kind of thing."

If you're short on cash, I'll lend you the money first, and you can pay me back slowly once you start earning.

The store employees have a quota, and they can buy the defective products in the warehouse by paying money. At worst, they can give all the money to Luo Yu instead of buying anything for their families this month. If all else fails, they can borrow from their colleagues and pay them back next month.

The little girl is so pitiful, I'll help her if I can.

Besides, Luo Yu was someone she had watched grow up. The girl had a conscience, so there was no need to worry about her not paying back the money she owed.

Luo Yu smiled gratefully at Feng Minzhi and finished the brown sugar water in one gulp.

"Aunt Feng, please sit down. I'll have Kexin help me choose."

Feng Minzhi waved her hand, smiled and winked at Luo Yu, and said, "Go ahead, pick more, this is a rare opportunity."

Luo Yu nodded and pulled Li Kexin into the warehouse.

The washbasin and enamel mug are chipped and the paint is scratched, but it doesn't affect their use. I'll get two of each.

The lunchbox was knocked flat and returned to its original shape. We use this kind a lot, so we took three large ones and one small one.

The buckle on the adjustable seat of my military satchel is missing. I can sew it up when I get home and use it. I'll get one too.

One thermos flask was missing its cap, and the other was dented, so there were exactly two left. I took them both.

The packaging of the soap is damaged, but it doesn't affect its use; you can buy more.

Two packets of shampoo, the laundry detergent bag was torn and looked like it was a little short, but Luo Yu didn't mind and just grabbed two more packets to make sure it was all there was.

Luo Yu also saw some flawed fabric, picked out two plain ones, and then saw some thin cotton fabric with blue flowers and white background, and picked out two of those as well. After thinking about it, she felt that she didn't have enough fabric, so she picked out a piece of green floral fabric that had been soaked in water and put it aside.

Luo Yu also saw a whole box of Pechoin snow cream produced in Shanghai. It looked like it had been soaked in water, and the outer packaging was ruined.

Luo Yu was overjoyed and, without any hesitation, handed five bottles to Li Kexin.

"This is really useful. I saw Wei Hong use it. Look at her face, it's so white and tender, you could squeeze water out of it."

Li Kexin's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she took five more bottles and put them aside.

Luo Yu glanced at her and saw that Li Kexin had taken so many bottles without any sign of guilt, which made him even more certain.

Next, Luo Yu took two more lunch boxes and two washbasins, picked out a pair of red cotton shoes dyed black, two white towels with silk threads, and finally found a military water bottle with a dent in it, which she quickly stuffed under a pile of cloth.

Everything else is easy to talk about, but this is rare. It's hard to mess with someone in the family who isn't in the military, so it's a pleasant surprise that they're here.

Luo Yu was right. This military water bottle didn't belong to the store. It was brought here by Feng Minzhi's nephew. He hoped it would sell, but if it didn't, he would keep it for his own use.

Luo Yu looked around and was somewhat disappointed not to see any cotton.

Li Kexin could see the disappointment in Luo Yu's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she tugged at Luo Yu's sleeve and whispered, "A new batch of cotton just arrived. My mom and I kept some for you. We'll buy some when the next batch comes. It won't take long; it should arrive next week. When you come back then, we can see if any of it has been soaked in water or dyed. We can sell it as defective products."

Luo Yu gratefully took Li Kexin's hand and whispered somewhat shyly, "I also want to buy one this time, but I don't have a ticket."

Li Kexin waved her hand, "It's okay, I have some. You can use it first, and return it to me when you have it."

She didn't generously say she didn't want it anymore. In those days, cotton was hard to come by, and cotton coupons were even scarcer. No matter how wealthy her family was, they couldn't just get it whenever they wanted. They would have to save up for several months to buy two pounds of cotton.

Luo Yu was overjoyed when she went to pay the bill, which only cost her thirty-seven yuan and eighty-six cents.

With so much stuff in front of you, you can't leave the store without spending seventy or eighty yuan, and you'll need a ticket.

After thanking them, Luo Yu and Li Kexin left the warehouse and went to the store in front.

Luo Yu still had coupons, and she planned to spend them all except for the grain coupons.

Although the shops in front didn't have as many items as those in big cities, they had a much wider variety than the supply and marketing cooperatives. They even had large items like watches and bicycles. Luo Yu walked over to take a look, checked his pockets, and gave up in frustration.

A watch requires a watch ticket, and a bicycle requires a bicycle ticket. She doesn't have either, so it seems she'll have to think of another way.

It's inconvenient to check the time without a watch. We've gotten used to having a mobile phone in the future, which allows us to check the time anytime. Now, without one, it always feels like something is missing.

Luo Yu bought another quilt cover, used Li Kexin's cotton coupons to buy ten catties of cotton, and still had shoe coupons in hand. Looking at the red cotton shoes she was carrying, she decisively bought a pair of black ones.

The sugar coupons could only buy one pound of sugar, so Luo Yuquan bought the cheapest fruit hard candy. Fortunately, White Rabbit candy didn't require sugar coupons, although it was a bit expensive. Luo Yuquan gritted his teeth and bought one pound of it too.
