Chapter 41

nd sat directly beside Lin Mian, his voice somewhat nonchalant."It's pretty good to play occasionally."Lu Zhibai knew he wasn't really interested in the alcohol, so he chuckled and didn't expose him....Ning Yuan had already thought of what to say: "I love people who are demoted, and he has to return to his hometown to work soon. Without some national food coupons, I don't feel at ease."

National ration coupons were only available to people with a work unit.

This thing is as universally accepted as money, unlike local food coupons which have restrictions on their areas of consumption.

After she got it, it was convenient to spend money both within and outside the province.

When Zhang Da heard this, she frowned and said: "You're helping your lover exchange tickets and money, don't let him take the money and ticket and leave someday."

Some educated youths who returned to the cities never went back to the countryside, nor did they bring their children and loved ones with them. Some even divorced directly.

Ning Yuan shook her head. "No."

Even though Rong Zhaonan returned to the city, he is definitely not someone who would betray those who helped him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached such a high position and remained steadfast.

After this, they are definitely going to divorce.

"Alright, since you insist on nationwide ration tickets, I'll see what I can do. But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find that many."

Chapter 2 thought this young lady's mountain goods were good, the prices were favorable, but it was a bit troublesome that they required national food ration tickets.

Since the inn is in urgent need, he can only try his best to find one.

Ning Yuan nodded and smiled gratefully, "Okay, thank you, Second Brother Zhang!"

Chapter Two had people come out to collect the smoked meat, and then he went back to the guest house to find ration tickets.

After much rummaging and an hour of toiling, he finally emerged, drenched in sweat. He first handed Ning Yuan forty yuan, then pulled out a handful of food ration tickets.

"We really couldn't find as many as thirty catties of national ration tickets, we only have twenty-five catties. But we also have five catties of provincial ration tickets and five catties of snack tickets, all yours. Do you think it's alright"

Ning Yuan wasn't disappointed, instead she was quite surprised: "Okay, thank you, Second Brother Zhang!"

After finishing, he bowed to him and Aunt Zhang.

"Goodness gracious, you young lady! Don't be so formal!" Zhang Er hurriedly pulled her back.

Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Er with pleading eyes and asked, "Zhang Er ge, if I could still get some smoked wild pork, would you take it Our villagers are all quite poor, any amount we could exchange would be helpful."

She could now sell her goods through the county committee guesthouse. After that, she and Rong Zhaonan didn't need to take as much risk selling on the black market.

This is a major client!

So, she deliberately spoke vaguely, making it seem like she was bringing the wild boar jerky to sell for the benefit of the other villagers.

Indeed, Zhang Er hesitated for a moment: "You're going to sell this to help the villagers, I could buy it, but..."

He paused for a moment. These days, meat was scarce. Even fresh pork wasn't plentiful enough to go around. Making cured meats was just a way to stockpile food for the whole year.

Few people sell smoked meats, it's truly a dish of flavor.

The county committee canteen can be used to entertain visiting superiors or those on business trips.

"But what, you say!" Ning Yuan immediately asked eagerly.

Chapter Two said, “The quality has to be at least as good as the smoked wild boar meat you brought today, and I don’t have that many national food ration coupons!”

After all, the taste and quality of smoked meat vary depending on the person.

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll always make sure the quality is good every time I come. If you don't like it, just say so, and I won't push it. Besides, I don't need national ration tickets every time."

This thing, she has plenty of money, just go to the black market to exchange it.

Finding a stable shipping channel is the most important!

Now that things are done, Ning Yuan was overjoyed. She walked with a light and bouncy step.

Chapter Big Sister looked at her and shook her head. “Little girl, take good care of your husband, don’t just know how to support him, think more about yourself first, save some private money.”

Ning Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Alright!"

She was quite surprised that even in this day and age, there were still women like Big Sister Zhang who didn't think of their husbands as the center of the world and always put their husbands' needs first.

"Saying that, she suddenly saw the grocery store next to her and hurriedly said to Zhang Big Sister, 'Big sister, wait for me a moment.'"

When Zhang's elder sister was stunned, she dashed into the grocery store.

Not long after, Ning Yuan came out carrying a red paper package of snacks and a pound of fruit candies.

She handed the things to Zhang Auntie, saying: "Auntie, thank you so much for your kindness today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know when I could sell all this meat."

Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand: "You girl, how come you're so extravagant You only got a few catties of snack tickets and you spend them like this. I don't eat these."

Ning Yuan smiled sweetly and shoved the candies and snacks into Zhang's arms: "This isn't for you, it's for your children and elders!"

At her age, it's obvious that Zhang Da Jie has both elderly parents and young children.

Once she said that, Sister Zhang was not easy to refuse.

Ning Yuan, with a basket on her back, waved to Zhang Big Sister and said: “I’m leaving now. I’ll come visit you again when I go into town next time!”

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away.

Zhang Da Jie looked at Ning Yuan and couldn't help but smile wryly, shaking her head. "This little girl is quite sensible and knows how to behave."

She was only thinking about how she could solve her nephew's recent headache, and hadn't thought about what kind of gift to bring.

Kenning Yuan is a warm and considerate girl.

Zhang Da Jie rode her bicycle and left.

Ning Yuan looked at the clock; it was almost six o'clock. She hurried to buy some necessities nearby, carrying a basket full of things and rushing to the place where the shuttle bus stopped.

Today's harvest was abundant, tired but worth it!

She rode in a cart with the villagers, chatting and laughing all the way back to the village.

As they reached the village entrance, Ning Yuan hopped off the cart, carrying her basket merrily towards the cow shed hut.

She was thinking to herself, that later she would still be able to eat stir-fried preserved pork. She had even bought half a roast chicken. Tonight, she'd treat herself to a good meal and improve her living standards.

Before he even reached the doorway of the cattle shed, he saw a crowd gathered around it. At a glance, he realized most of the educated youth team were here, along with several Red Guards.

Ning Yuan's heart sank suddenly, Oh no, something had happened.

She squeezed to the doorway just in time to see Rong Zhaonan standing against the wall, his glasses shattered with half a lens missing, his hair and clothes dusted with grime.

Someone was holding a bowl and smashing it down hard on his head.

"Wang Jianhua, what are you doing!" Ning Yuan screamed. Rong Zhaonan was still just as he used to be, not intending to fight back at all, his eyes about to be blinded!

Ning Yuan charged toward Wang Jianhua, who was about to hit her, like a little bullet. She slammed into his back with all her might.ing him up. "Hey, old man, there's food now, eel porridge, it smells so good!"Ning Yuan was surprised by Xia A Po's agility. This old lady was so nimble.“What eel congee...you went to find Xiaorong fo...
