I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1139

After the husband and wife made a decision, Xia's mother immediately found out the food stamps at home and went to the city to exchange them for national food stamps.

Instead of going to the black market to exchange them, they went to the Grain Bureau.

A pound of two taels of local food stamps can only be exchanged for a pound of national food stamps, which is not cost-effective, but who said that the national food stamps carry oil, and it is universal across the country and is not restricted by any region.

Local food stamps can only be used locally, and cannot be used outside Wutong City.

Because the youngest son and daughter-in-law often send food home, so most of the food stamps or food that their family receives on a monthly basis have been saved.

No, when I came out, I ran into Sapphire coming out of the department store, carrying a net bag of expensive sweets and pastries.

Lan Yu saw her and asked, "Sister-in-law Xia, when did you come to the city? I don't usually see you."

"I'm here to exchange for national food stamps." Mother Xia knew that she was very kind to Li Xingxing and had given Li Xingxing a large sum of money as a dowry, so she told her the truth, "Her father-in-law and I are worried and plan to go to Shanghai."

Lan Yu was surprised and delighted: "This girl! She is pregnant with twins and she doesn't say anything."

She and Li Xingxing often correspond by letter.

Now, I live a prosperous life with Mrs. Liu, all thanks to Li Xingxing sending rice, flour, grain, oil or national food stamps from Shanghai from time to time. She exchanged some for them with overseas remittance coupons.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, Lan Yu still remembers Li Xingxing's kindness in his heart.

Rice noodles, grain and oil have always been scarce!
"It must be because the celebrity is not at home so I didn't say it." Xia's mother was angry with her son, "If Nian En said in the letter that he participated in the teacher's research project is not in the Northeast, I would definitely write to him and tell him to go back to Shanghai. Take care of the stars."

Sapphire actually heard Li Xingxing talk about Xia Xingxing's further study in the letter, she smiled, "Alright, Xingxing has the support of Xingxing to go to school, otherwise he won't go, let them solve the matter of the young couple by themselves , you and Brother Xia don’t interfere, just do what your in-laws should do, Sister Xiuhong and the others are reasonable people, so I won’t blame you.”

Mother Xia is not as optimistic as she is.

After reading Chen Nianen's letter, she knew that her elder brother had opinions in her heart.

But this cannot be said to Sapphire.

"Her aunt, we have to leave quickly, we can't delay, let's talk back!" Xia's mother said goodbye to Lan Yu, and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly asked: "Do you want us to bring something or a word to your brother?"

Sapphire waved her hand: "No need, we keep in touch from time to time, he doesn't miss my things."

The standard of living in Shanghai can far exceed that of Wutong City.

After a pause, Lan Yu smiled again: "Sister-in-law Xia, you go to Shanghai to find out the date of the birth, and then write to me and tell me that I will go to Shanghai to visit Xing Xing and the child when the time comes."

The reason why she won't go in the near future is that she is worried that Mrs. Liu will be alone at home.

After all, she is old.

Mother Xia nodded and agreed, "No problem, you wait at home, I will write to you."

He hurried home with the national food stamps he had exchanged, packed his luggage, and stored the remaining food at home.

They were not willing to exchange food for food stamps.

It is easy to exchange grain for food stamps, but you have to rely on the book to buy grain with food stamps. It cannot exceed the supply and can only be used for consumption.

They have to come back sooner or later, it is impossible to live in Shanghai all the time, it is better to seal up the food in the basement.

It was the basement that Xia Mingqi and Xia Mingxing dug together, and built glutinous rice walls. The inside is very dry and suitable for storing food. Except for ham, bacon, sausage, etc., Xia's mother moved all the dried vegetables and seafood at home into it.

Although there is a second son and a second daughter-in-law, the husband and wife rarely share the filial piety of the younger daughter-in-law with them, only occasionally giving a little.

The youngest son and daughter-in-law are the ones who respect them, not the second elder brother and second sister-in-law.

After the separation, they have always been measured.

After eating the food that couldn't be stored, the husband and wife bought a train ticket to Shanghai, took Xia Qinghui, and set off with luggage on their shoulders.
