Chapter 100
There are eight people in Su Tong's family. The quotas of three children and an old man were all taken away by Huang Dahu and sold.
The quota for the four labors is sold by myself, which is about thirty. Their family is poor, and there is no money to use when the quota is too high, only Aunt Su's one thousand is left untouched.
But it's different now.
The original more than two hundred, plus the money returned by Huang Dahu and his party after they were arrested, there are more than four thousand and eight hundred in hand.
"I knew I shouldn't have sold them all." The family regretted it, but soon became happy because of the windfall.
Now that prices are soaring, the purchasing power of work points is still very strong.
Four thousand eight can buy a lot of things, enough to feed the whole family for a long time.
"Let's go, let's buy some quota and spend all the money today!"
The purchasing power of work points is very strong, and in the apocalyptic world where we don't know what will happen tomorrow, only materials are king!
I only had more than two hundred in my hand before, just in case, because there is a neighbor like Huang Dahu next door, I can't buy, let alone dare to buy, too many supplies.
But Huang Dahu had already entered.
It should be able to deter many people.
Most importantly, the weather is getting colder every day, and they need thick clothes and quilts, as well as more food.
Siqianba left two hundred as a reserve fund, and prepared to spend the rest.
The supermarket at eleven o'clock in the evening was still brightly lit, and the bright incandescent lights made people feel dazed for a while.
Su Tong took grandma's hand and carefully stepped on the clean tiles of the supermarket.
Supermarket, what an ordinary but "luxury" place.
Three years before online shopping became popular, supermarkets had become a place only for the elderly.
Su Tong often goes in and out of the supermarket with her grandparents. When the two old people were young, they were workers in the steel factory. Although the retirement salary is not very high, it allows the two old people to live in peace and stability and buy food and drink for their grandchildren. There is no problem playing.
But in just two years, everything has changed.
"Tongtong, Mom, come here quickly."
Aunt Su waved at them holding the clothes.
Su Tong and Grandma Su didn't move much, and the grandparents and grandchildren's eyes flashed with fear and caution.
"Every year, at the beginning of the month, go and bring my cousin and grandma over."
The two children ran over happily, one holding Grandma Su's hand and the other holding Su Tong's hand, their faces full of joyful satisfaction.
"Cousin, grandma, my mother said that I need to buy new clothes for the New Year!"
There is no stronger reason than this.
Su Tong's family are all from the Northeast. Although there is heating in the north, it is impossible to stay in the house for a whole winter without stepping out of the house. Of course winter clothes are also available.
But children grow up fast. Even if the food is not very good, the tenacious children still grow up like weeds.
The cold-proof materials in winter are in the special area, and a piece of clothing costs eight to twenty work points. Unlike before, the price was the same regardless of size, but now the price of clothes is affected by the material and weight. Thinner clothes are cheaper, and smaller clothes are cheaper.
The color has little effect on the clothes, but the good-looking colors need to come early, and if they are picked away, other colors will be left.
Supermarkets can guarantee sufficient supply, but they cannot guarantee sufficient supply for every color.
Aunt Su snatched a tender, tender pink from the rush-buying crowd, and gestured on Su Tong: "Mom, doesn't this color look good? The little girl wants to wear brightly colored clothes." Su Tong shrank a little embarrassedly
. neck, but Grandma Su was moved by this pink dress.
"For those who celebrate the new year, you have to buy a good-looking new dress."
Niannian and Chuchu also showed off their new clothes: "Grandma, my new clothes look good too!"
Grandma Su was amused by the chirping voice, The wrinkles that had suddenly increased in the past two years also unfolded: "It looks good, everything looks good!"
Aunt Su took another thick skirt and pushed Su Tong to the changing room.
Su Tong hesitated when she saw the price, but when she came out, she was dumbfounded by herself in the mirror.
"Our pupils are so pretty!" Aunt Su's eyes turned red immediately, she endured the soreness in her heart, and pretended to be nonchalant, "Mom, look at our pupils, how tall they are!" "Sister, sister,
you Looks like a princess!" The two children also clapped their hands and praised in chirping.
There is no little girl who does not love beauty, looking at her beautiful self in the mirror, Su Tong couldn't help but smile.
She twirled round and round, her skirt blooming like a flower.
But in the end, she was going back to the changing room to take it off.
"Take it, I have to take care of my two younger brothers, and I have to go to work to earn money. My aunt is useless, and I need you as a child to support the family." Aunt Su said, almost crying again.
Su Tong shook her head: "Auntie, I'm so happy to work, it's like playing! I'm not tired at all!"
Aunt Su touched her rough hand with distress. Except for the knuckles of the index finger and middle finger, the small palm held the pen. The small hard lumps left behind, the fingertips were also worn out due to heavy work.
The appearance of cocoons is very simple. It is nothing more than broken skin, scabs, then worn out, and scabs again.
Su Tong is in the first stage.
Primary school students have free lunch at noon. Even without this meal, everyone is desperately trying to send their children to school.
As before, whether it is elementary school, junior high school or high school, there are winter and summer vacations.
After Su Tong was on vacation, she went to do a timed winter vacation job.
Seeing that she was small, the boss refused to accept her, so Aunt Su gave her a gift ruthlessly. In the end, the boss saw that Su Tong's work speed was not much slower than that of an adult, so he reluctantly accepted it. But the salary is half that of an adult.
"Auntie, I don't like this skirt. I don't have time to wear it. It would be nice to have this coat!" Su Tong hugged the thick padded jacket with a happy face.
Aunt Su suppressed her sourness, and took the skirt together to the packing place: "This skirt is on sale, and if it is cheap, it would be a waste if you don't buy it." The skirt is not expensive, and it is obviously a pre-apocalyptic
stock. The British-style plaid dress is very good in terms of shape and fabric, but it is not suitable for the cold winter in the last days.
Therefore, its asking price is not high. This beautiful dress, which was said to sell for at least five or six hundred a few years ago, now only costs 3 work points.
But with 3 work points, you can buy three catties of sweet potatoes or three catties of potatoes.
So even if the price is so cheap, not many people are willing to pay for it.
"It's Chinese New Year." Aunt Su put the bagged skirt into the shopping cart, and gave ten work points to each of the three children.
"New Year's money, buy what you want to buy yourself."
The two younger children cheered, and pulled Su Tong to the snack area.
Although it was Chinese New Year, I only bought clothes for the three children in the end.
The staff in charge of labeling advised them: "Buy some thick clothes for yourself too. The winter in the south is difficult. The weather has been repeated in the past two years, and the lowest temperature last winter was ten degrees below zero!" Aunt Su's sister-in-
law Said: "There are a lot of cotton-padded quilts at home, save some money and buy some meat for the children." None of the three children were her own, and her own children died before moving to Yucheng. The weather was too hot and I blew air in front of the air-conditioning outlet. I felt dizzy and fell for a while, and then it was over.
She cried so hard that she felt that she was going to leave with her son too, but she had a hard life, and she was the only one in the family of three.
Before the end of the world, every family will divide you and me, for fear that you will be taken advantage of. But in the past two years, I have been losing loved ones continuously, and I am not so particular about you and me.
It would be nice to live together!
It is not false to say that thick clothes and quilts are enough at home.
Several families died so that there were only eight people left, and nothing else, only the money in the bank-bank-card. When I left, the money was no longer worth anything, and the checked luggage cost money, so I simply took all the things I could take with me at home and spent money to check them in.
There are a lot of big winter quilts that weigh eight catties and ten catties! The staff didn't ask any more.
"Do you want baby warmers? Baby warmers are cheap, and a bag of 100 pieces only costs 0.5 labor points."
The price cannot be said to be expensive, but a piece of baby warmers can only be used for a few hours, and it is a one-time consumable. If you buy less, it won't work, and if you buy more, the price will not be cheap.
"Ten or twenty bags first." The "Magic Attack" in the south and they also saw a lot of jokes on the Internet. Although they haven't experienced how cold the winter in the south is, they have three children at home. It's just these three children, no matter what happens, they can't let anything happen again.
Twenty bags of warm babies are ten work points, and a five-liter barrel of soybean oil is only fifteen.
"Two thousand tablets, can I use them up? It's already February, and it will be warmer in a few months." Just as he finished
muttering, he saw a father and daughter piled into the car next to them as high as a mountain. warm baby.
"Fifty-two, fifty-three...Dad, take more! I can put more later!"
The 0.5 work point seemed to be 0.5 yuan, which stunned Su Tong and his group.
Aunt Su thought that the father had no life experience in raising children, so she couldn't help but remind them: "Why did you buy so much, can I use it up?" The girl said bluntly, "
Auntie, are you from the Northeast? The winter in the south is hard." Yes, it is wet and cold, and there are so many news about mine spontaneous combustion this summer, it is not certain whether it will be able to generate electricity in winter.”
"I don't know when spring will come, but the snow outside is getting bigger and bigger. There has never been such a heavy snowfall in Yucheng in the past few decades. If it rains or snows for several months like last year this year, no There is no electricity for heating, so it will really kill people.” The girl’s father also said: “Buy some more while you can, even if you don’t need them for a few months, the rainy season is enough. The drizzle, the bones are wet, not to mention the old man can't bear it, my knees are uncomfortable! At this time, using the baby warmer as a towel for hot compresses is very effective! Do you think the towel can be hot for a few minutes!" After the father and daughter reminded, they continued to move the baby like building blocks to warm the baby. No wonder... No wonder there is so much space in the winter supplies area. Thinking of the painful memories of the heating pipeline being destroyed by heavy snow in the first year of the end of the world, and the ground was full of dead people, the group immediately took action. "Then, let's buy more!" Anyway, it's not too expensive to accept. Electric blankets, little suns, hand warmers, foot warmers... There are countless kinds of heating equipment, but surprisingly few people buy them. With limited funds, no one can guarantee that the power supply will be normal this winter, and dare not pin all hopes on these electrical appliances. On the contrary, self-heating bags, baby warmers, barbecue grills, charcoal and other things that do not require electricity are very popular. The author has something to say:
