Chapter 27

"Well, take Xiaoli to work today, it's safer where there are many people."

Gu Sheng was still a little worried when he thought of that miserable old woman in the Gu family.

They don't dare to do anything blatantly in places where there are many people. If everyone is working, no one will know if the two of them are being bullied.

"I understand."

Gu Ming watched the eldest sister leave the yard, it was still pitch black outside, his little hands clenched into fists.

He must grow up early so that he can share the burden for the elder sister.

Sure enough, as Gu Sheng said, she walked out of the brigade in the dark and it was dawn before long.

Gu Sheng held a wooden stick in his hand to explore the way. The basket was actually empty, and the prepared vegetables and dried fruits were placed in the space.

Therefore, when he entered the town for inspection, he passed the customs safely, but after entering the town, Gu Sheng was suddenly a little dazed.

The original owner had never been in the town since she was so old, so she didn't know where to sell these things.

Besides, Gu Sheng was not very clear about the prices, so she could only ask someone for directions and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There were two women knitting sweaters sitting in the supply and marketing cooperative. The women didn't look up when they saw Gu Sheng's tattered clothes.

Such a poor ghost should not be able to afford anything.

This is the first time for Gu Sheng to come to the supply and marketing cooperative, and he knows everything about this era from the original owner's memory and history books.

She was still taken aback when she really saw these things.

In fact, there are not many things in the supply and marketing cooperative, especially fruits, which are precious things, and there are almost none.

Sugar is also very expensive, so Gu Sheng only saw a few handfuls of black candies, which are the most popular lard candies for children nowadays.

The high-end ones are probably packaged fruit candies, Gu Sheng asked, pointing to the fruit candies.

"Hello comrade, how did you sell this?"

"A penny a piece."

The woman in the sweater glanced up at her, her tone was loose and a little disdainful.

But Gu Sheng didn't care, she pointed to lard sugar and asked, "What about this one?"

"A dime a catty, do you want it or not?"

The woman is a little angry, so don't ask nonsense if you don't want to, it will delay her knitting sweater.

Gu Sheng just smiled lightly, then calmly asked other prices, and came to a conclusion that this era is really poor.

And if you have money, you can't buy what you want, because you need tickets.

Tickets are required to buy sugar, oil, rice, and sugar, and she happens to have nothing.

She sighed silently, and left the supply and marketing cooperative under the dissatisfied eyes of the clerk of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Then she found a hidden alley and disguised herself. First, she smeared her face so black that she couldn't see it.

Then she put on a headscarf and changed into the clothes left by her mother when she was there. She looked like a malnourished village woman.

Gu Sheng walked around with his head down, and deliberately found a place with a better building to wander around.

And because it was the first time she did this kind of thing secretly, she actually felt a little guilty.

But her eyes lit up when she saw a frowning old woman.

Because the old grandma muttered, "Hey, where can I find you delicious fruit candy, isn't this embarrassing grandma?"

The tone sounded like complaints, but Gu Sheng could hear the pampering in the old lady's words, she should love the children of the family very much.

Gu Sheng followed the old lady for a few steps, approached the old lady when no one was around and said.

"Comrade, do you want dried fruit? You can exchange it with grain."

Yes, after seeing the prices, Gu Sheng realized that he had no tickets at all. The best way was to exchange for food first.

After all, she couldn't even find out how to get to the private market.
