Chang Kun looked helpless, expressing strong dissatisfaction with his mother's change of heart and firm opposition to her decision.

There is absolutely no way he would marry into the Qin family.

Even if Qin Meiru is truly destined for great wealth and honor, I still can't afford to live up to it.

Besides, we're people with a system. Even if the system is weak, it's still a system.

常昆实在受不了刘梅芬的唠叨,对老娘下了最后通牒:秦美茹他是肯定不会娶的,实在不行自己再去揍一顿史真香,两家成仇就不用结亲了。

This finally frightened Liu Meifen. She didn't expect her son to oppose Qin Meiru's bare skin and hairless body so much. All the way there, he kept muttering that it was a pity for such a wealthy and noble life.

When we arrived at the Gulou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the white box of Arctic Ocean popsicles was still there at the entrance.

Chang Kun parked the stroller at the door and asked his mother to watch it.

Upon entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Cuiqin was dozing off again.

"sister!"

"Oh, Xiao Kun is here! You caught another wild boar?" Wang Cuiqin's eyes lit up when she saw Chang Kun.

The wild boar meat from the other day was so delicious, it was no different from pigs raised on farms. Several people from the supply and marketing cooperative specially picked out the fatty meat to take home. The rendered oil was really beautiful, and there was enough oil to last until the New Year.

Later, I heard that Chang Kun went to her father-in-law Yang Shunong's house and brought a lot of delicious food.

You know, these days, you had to bring your own food coupons to eat at a relative's house. If you could give some good food to someone else's family, you couldn't go wrong.

"Wild boars aren't so easy to hunt. We've been up in the mountains for two days and haven't even seen a trace of one."

"So you're here to buy something?"

"I've been up in the mountains for two days and haven't caught any wild boars, but I did manage to get some wild rabbits. Want some?"

Wang Cuiqin's eyes lit up. "How could we not want this? Rabbit is meat too. Don't you know there's a lot of fighting over meat these days? Just a few days ago, someone even got into a fight over meat in the street, and they ended up with broken heads..."

Wang Cuiqin started gossiping.

"Sis, let's talk about it later. My mom is still outside watching the car."

Wang Cuiqin exclaimed, "Oh dear, my aunt is here too! Please come in quickly." Then she walked around the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative and came to the door.

Chang Kun and Wang Cuiqin carried sacks into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Wang Cuiqin found an enamel bowl, scooped out a bowl of thawed popsicle water, and gave it to Liu Meifen to quench her thirst, calling her "Auntie" repeatedly.

Liu Meifen was a little reserved, holding the enamel bowl in both hands, looking around the supply and marketing cooperative, feeling that everything was very rare.

"Sister, is Director Song inside?"

"He's inside. I'll go call him out. That wild boar really made him look good last time. The meat was sent to the leader's house, and he came back beaming." Wang Cuiqin winked and whispered to the two of them.

"Haha, Xiao Chang is here again! Welcome, welcome!" Director Song's laughter rang out even before he left the office.

"Director Song." Chang Kun greeted him, and Director Song came over and held Chang Kun's hand tightly.

"Xiao Chang, your wild boar came just in time last time and solved the boss's problem. I have to thank you!"

"Hehe, Director Song, I wouldn't dare take credit for it; it was all a fair deal."

"Hey, these are all our own people, no need for formalities. Right now, every unit has money and ration coupons, but they just can't get meat. If they can get meat, that's a merit!"

It's almost August 1st, and the leaders are still worrying about what kind of benefits to give to the subordinates. With that wild boar, all problems are solved, hahaha..."

Xiao Yao followed behind Director Song, winking and giving Chang Kun a thumbs up. That day, he brought home ten pounds of fatty meat and was praised by his wife. She gave him a reward that night, which made his back ache for the past few days.

Liu Meifen beamed with joy as she listened to the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative praising her son.

Chang Kun introduced the rabbits to his mother, and after they exchanged greetings, they began to examine the wild rabbits he had brought.

Although these rabbits were a bit listless, they were still alive, and the meat would be very fresh if they were killed and eaten immediately.

"Director Song, here are thirty rabbits in total. Take a look. I don't want the money this time. Could you please exchange them for some tickets?"

"Our supply and marketing cooperative has plenty of coupons. Whatever you need, I'll calculate it for you. Little Yao, Old Liu, you two go and weigh the wild rabbit."

"Grain coupons, cloth coupons, liquor coupons, oil coupons, soap and pastry coupons, toothpaste and toothbrush coupons, any kind of coupon will do." Their family lacked everything; even with money, they couldn't buy these things without coupons.

"Okay, some things don't need tickets. We have some defective products here. Let Xiao Wang find them for you, you understand?" Director Song winked at Chang Kun.

Chang Kun chuckled. This guy really understands. Whether a product is defective or not is up to the supply and marketing cooperative to decide. Just don't make things too outrageous.

"Director Song, about that work target I mentioned last time..." Chang Kun leaned closer to Director Song and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Chang, don't worry. As long as you offer meat in exchange for your work quota, there's no problem. If I don't agree, the leaders won't stand for it." Director Song had already asked the leaders, and their supply and marketing cooperative might really be expanding in a while, requiring at least one or two more people.

These days, even though salespeople are one of the eight major jobs, if you really have connections, who would want to do this job!

Generally, these worker positions are either inherited by others or purchased.

Right now, the most precious things are food and meat. Trading these two for a job shouldn't be a problem.

Xiao Yao and Lao Liu weighed the wild rabbit, which weighed 178 jin in total, but they counted it as 180 jin. If it were priced at 1.5 yuan per jin, it would cost 270 yuan in total. Adding the fox cub, it would come to exactly 300 yuan.

But if Chang Kun wants to exchange it for tickets, then we'll have to calculate it slowly.

Wang Cuiqin linked arms with Liu Meifen and introduced her to the products in the supply and marketing cooperative. Liu Meifen was dazzled by the selection and wanted to buy everything.

Speaking of which, Liu Meifen was born into a wealthy family when she was young. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to various policies, her family gradually declined. After marrying Chang Dashan, she didn't have many good days and had to be frugal every day.

She stared wide-eyed at the sights, then gritted her teeth and bought a large bag.

They replenished the pots and pans that were missing at home, bought five bars of soap and towels, and only had star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili peppers as seasonings. They bought two jin of soybean oil, which was obtained by exchanging wild rabbit meat for oil coupons. They bought three military water bottles, one for her son and one for her husband, so that the three of them would have boiled water to drink when they went out to work.

A pound of mung bean cake and a pound of sesame cakes were saved for the little girls to fill their stomachs when they were hungry. Recently, the family's meals had been good, and seeing the children's chubby faces made Liu Meifen very gratified.

At Chang Kun's request, he bought five more toothbrushes and three tubes of toothpaste, because the little girls have been eating a lot of sugar lately, and he didn't want them to ruin their teeth.

Liu Meifen also wanted to buy some tea for Chang Dashan to drink. The old man loves to drink tea, but the family was poor before, so he could only brew some tree leaves to drink. Now that his son is doing well and earning money, she wanted to treat the old man.

"Qin, these tea leaves look like they've turned to dregs. How much do you want for them?"

"Auntie, why can't I sell it? You want some? Watch me." Wang Cuiqin said, picking up the glass jar containing tea leaves and shaking it back and forth. After a few shakes, the tea leaves sank to the bottom and floated to the top. She grabbed a handful, shook it a few more times, and grabbed another handful.

After this process, what's left is still tea dust, which is sold as usual.

Wang Cuiqin grabbed a large bag of tea leaves and said proudly:

"Auntie, this is real tea. The rest are called broken tea leaves. They're all the same price here."

Liu Meifen was stunned; this was unbelievable...
