Traveling through the daily life of the 1970s

15

Lin Lin was lying on the bed, and there was a faint roar in the distance. Then, Lin Lin closed her eyes and felt a flash of white light in front of her eyes. A few seconds later, a deafening thunder exploded in Lin Lin's ears. Lin Lin was stunned by the sudden thunder and it took a long time for her to react.

Turning her head to look out the window, the sky was overcast, and big raindrops fell on the ground, splashing water. She looked down at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock, but it looked like it was still dark outside the window.

Today is the last day of my vacation. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily, but I have to go to work tomorrow. Even if it rains knives from the sky, I have to go back. Fortunately, the rain stopped after a while.

After the rain stopped, Lin Lin went to the town with her two brothers. After listening to Lin Lin's words, the two brothers had an idea and thought that they could save some money for the family. If the school suddenly reopened, they would have to send their son to school.

The two took the eggs that they had saved for a month, a total of more than 40 eggs, and prepared to go to the food supply station to exchange for some money.

Lin Lin also went with them to see if she could help.

When we arrived at the food supply station, we saw a group of people crowding in front of a counter. Inside the counter was a young girl wearing a white dress with green flowers. She was shouting at the top of her lungs, "Don't crowd. Line up. Line up. Do you want to exchange money or tickets?" After hearing this, people lined up actively. An old woman came to exchange a basket of eggs for money. "Girl, here are 20 eggs. See how much you can exchange for." How much money?

The girl weighed the basket on the scale, "Two and a half catties, minus half a catty of the basket, it's two catties, one catty of eggs is three cents, I'll give you six cents." The girl took out six cents from the drawer, "Next one, next one, leave quickly after you're done exchanging, it takes up space."

"But, my basket doesn't have half a catty, it's only two taels..." The old woman saw that no one paid attention to her, sighed and left with the money.

As long as it's edible, you can exchange money for goods at the food supply station. Lin Lin had never come to buy or exchange anything, so she didn't know if the price was fair, but the two brothers thought it was okay. Seeing that more and more people were coming, they went to line up.

Lin Lin realized that she couldn't help and was about to leave. Walking down the street, she saw Xingzi leading a little boy towards the food supply station.

"Xingzi, what are you doing?" Lin Lin greeted.

"Lin Lin, you are here too? I came to buy some eggs for my son to replenish his body." Xingzi was also very happy to meet Lin Lin. She liked this beautiful sister.

"Your son?" Lin Lin was a little surprised. Xingzi had a typical baby face and even had some baby fat on her face. When she first met her, Lin Lin thought she was younger than herself, but she didn't expect her son to be so big.

"This is my son, Weekend, nicknamed Xiaobao, and he is three years old this year." Weekend is a cute little boy with a watermelon head and eyebrows and eyes that look like Xingzi. His black eyes are big and round. At this time, he was holding Xingzi's legs and looking up at Lin Lin.

"Your son is so cute." Lin Lin touched her pocket and found a candy that Huihui had handed to her when she left.

"Is it Xiaobao? Do you like candy? Auntie has one here, for you." Lin Lin squatted down and gave the candy to Weekend.

"Thank you, sister, you are so beautiful." Lin Lin thought to herself that this little mouth is so sweet.

"Thank you, Xiaobao, you are so cute." Lin Lin couldn't help it, and rubbed his chubby face with her hands. Looking at his ignorant little eyes, she wanted to stretch out her sinful hands again, but she held back.
