Ling Chuchu accidentally heard that two young people were going to hold a wedding soon, but they had a verbal quarrel because they couldn't buy the red fabric needed for the wedding.

Ling Chuchu had an idea for no reason.

It just so happened that she had spun red fabric, but she couldn't use it herself, so she might as well sell it to them to enrich her small treasury of only a few dozen yuan.

"Xiuxiu, if you really can't buy red fabric, then borrow the red clothes and quilts that my second sister used for her wedding."

Xiuxiu glared at the man. She was really angry and said angrily: "How can you borrow other people's things for your wedding? It's your second sister and her second brother-in-law who used it."

She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Suddenly, she doubted herself, was it wrong to agree to marry him in order to escape farm work?

Ling Chuchu was obviously also shocked by the man's shocking performance.

Marriage is a big event, it only happens once in a lifetime, how can you borrow clothes and bedding from others.

The man looked melancholy, red material is hard to buy, not to mention in a small town, even in the city supply and marketing cooperative, you may not be able to buy it.

This is really difficult for him.

The two of them obviously did not reach an agreement because of this.

The girl named Xiuxiu raised her hand to wipe her tears, ignored the man, and walked forward.

The man hurriedly chased after her.

Ling Chuchu felt that her chance had come, and gently patted the shoulder of Liu Ling, who was in front of her, and said, "Lingzi, I feel sick, so I have to go to the toilet. You wait here first."

"Oh, then go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

Liu Ling's eyes were glued to the people in the queue in front of her, and she perfunctorily agreed to Ling Chuchu.

Ling Chuchu chased after the young man and woman.

As they walked, they disappeared. Just when Ling Chuchu thought she had lost them, she heard a woman crying not far away.

Ling Chuchu followed the sound and saw a woman squatting on the ground crying at the corner of the alley.

Seeing the woman squatting down and crying, the man was at a loss, and he squatted down immediately, "Xiu Xiu, stop crying, I promised you, can't I buy a new one?"

The girl raised her tear-stained face and said in a crying voice: "Why didn't you prepare it earlier? Now you say you want to buy a new one, where can you buy it?"

"Look at you, you work in the city, why don't you know to bring back the red cloth?"

The wedding date is getting closer and closer, and there are many things to prepare, so there is no time to go to the city again.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she punched the man twice in anger, "It's all your fault for not preparing earlier."

Ling Chuchu didn't have time to wait for them to finish arguing before she appeared,

"Cough... cough..." Her cough attracted the attention of the two, because a person suddenly appeared, and the girl stopped crying and making a fuss.

The man looked at the woman's overly pretty face, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The girl with double braids turned her back and wiped the tears from her face.

Turning around again, he found that the girl had walked towards them, and it seemed that she was coming for them.

She subconsciously raised her head to look at the man beside her, and found that his eyes were straight when he looked at her. This discovery made her furious, and she raised her foot and stepped hard on his foot.

The man's face changed. If he hadn't considered that there were others around, he would definitely scream in pain without caring about his image.

Ling Chuchu saw everything the two did.

Look how blessed men are at this time. When a woman gets angry, she just steps on his feet with her flat shoes. Even if she tries her best, the man won't feel any pain. It's not like later generations, when a woman steps on a man's feet with high heels. A bruise is considered a minor injury.

"Who are you?"

Ling Chuchu smiled leisurely: "We don't know each other. I came to you because I just overheard your conversation."

"You want to buy red fabric, right?"

The girl with double braids nodded, "Yes," then turned her head and glared at the man next to her, sighing in disappointment, "It's a pity that I can't buy red fabric in the supply and marketing cooperative."

"I have brand new red fabric, both for making clothes and bedding. If you can't buy it in the supply and marketing cooperative, I can transfer the red fabric I bought to you."

The girl couldn't hide her surprise when she heard it, "Are you serious?"

Ling Chuchu nodded gently.

"Have you brought the stuff? Can I take a look first?"

"Sure, you guys wait here for a while."

Ling Chuchu didn't bring the fabric with her, but she could find a deserted place and get it from the manor.

"Then hurry up, and be sure to come back."

The girl urged her, but she was afraid that she would change her mind and never come back.

About three minutes later, Ling Chuchu returned to the corner of the alley again, and the couple was still there.

"I got the stuff."

When Xiuxiu saw the red fabric in her hand, her eyes widened and she raised her hand to touch it. "This fabric is so soft. It will be so comfortable to cover her body with it as a wedding quilt!"

"I don't need the red fabric for now. If you like it, I'll sell it to you at a low price."

Xiuxiu: "How much do you want for such good fabric?"

This fabric is not cheap at first glance.

"I queued for several hours in a big city to buy this fabric. The price is not cheap either. It is still not sold in the small county."

She paused for a moment and added: "How about this? All of this is given to you. You can pay me according to the price of the Dacron fabric in the supply and marketing cooperative."

The woman was delighted when she heard this, but she did not show it on her face.

"I see you have quite a lot of fabric, but I won't need so much for my wedding."

"I'll give you as much as you want."

The ruler and scissors were ready when she took the fabric.

The woman's face changed slightly. She wanted to take all the fabric. She said that just to get a lower price.

And she had never seen this fabric sold in the town supply and marketing cooperative.

She would definitely make a profit if she bought it.

"I would like to take all of it, but I'm afraid I don't have enough cloth coupons."

Country people don't have to worry about food and drink. They earn a cent every year and get some money during the New Year, but it's different for fabric, because in this era, you need cloth coupons to buy fabric, and rural people don't have cloth coupons.

So, cloth is a rare thing in the eyes of rural people.

"It's OK if you don't give me the cloth coupons, but the cloth will be more expensive."

For Ling Chuchu, she can weave cloth by herself and has her own portable manor, so the cloth coupons won't be of much use to her.

When the woman heard that she didn't need the cloth coupons, she was very happy. Even if the price was a little higher, she was getting a great bargain. She hurriedly urged:

"Okay, let's measure the size now."

In fact, Ling Chuchu had already measured the size, but in order to reassure the customer, she had to measure it again in person.

When the man next to her heard that Xiuxiu really wanted to buy all the cloth back, he hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Xiuxiu, if you buy so much cloth back, your mother will say that you don't know how to live."

Xiuxiu frowned and shook off his hand that was pulling her clothes. "Buying some things for the wedding means you don't know how to live? So, should we even skip the wedding?"

Finally, the man let the woman do what she wanted.

The two of them collected all the money they had and gave it to Ling Chuchu.

The last extra foot of cloth, Ling Chuchu simply gave it to them.

When she was walking towards the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw an old man sitting on the stone steps on the side of the road, with a cage for raising chickens and ducks in the countryside next to him.

The cage made a sound of chickens.

It seemed that they were taking it to the town to sell.

Ling Chuchu walked towards the old man.

"Grandpa, are you selling the chickens in this cage?"

The grandpa was immediately excited when he saw someone finally asking, "Yes, yes."

Ling Chuchu looked at the chickens in the cage. There seemed to be three of them, not big in size, either malnourished or not yet adults.

"Which one do you want? I'll catch it for you."

If there weren't so many people in the family and not enough food, he wouldn't have been willing to bring the chickens that his granddaughter had raised by catching insects to sell in the town.

"I want them all."

It was a good opportunity to collect crop seeds and poultry in the countryside.

Because once she returned to the city, it would be difficult to see crop seeds and poultry.

So during her time in the countryside, she had to find a way to collect all the crops and poultry.

She had no trouble getting small poultry such as chickens and ducks. Many rural people raised them at home. When they needed money urgently, they would take them to the town to exchange for money. Everyone turned a blind eye and did not interfere.

It was just that it was more difficult to get larger poultry, such as cattle, sheep and pigs. These three were the mascots of the production team, and people served them more attentively than their own children.

These three were also what Ling Chuchu wanted the most.

The eldest master did not expect that the young girl in front of him wanted all three chickens.

Even when the money was in his hand, he still couldn't believe it.

"Comrade, where do you live? I'll send it to you."

Although the three chickens are not big, they are not light when added together.

"No need, Grandpa, I can take them myself."

Ling Chuchu quickly rejected his kindness.

She took these chickens back to a place where no one was, and then she took them all into the manor.

"Grandpa, do you come here often?"

Grandpa shook his head, "Not often, I only come when there is no food at home."

How could they, as farmers, have so many chickens and ducks.

These three were newly hatched chicks from the old hen at home, and they were only a few months old.

"Will farmers be short of food?"

In Ling Chuchu's opinion, although food was expensive in this era, people in the countryside would not go hungry.

"There are many people in our family, and we have not divided the family. Including our grandchildren, there are more than 20 people, and there are many mouths. The food we distribute every year is not enough to eat."

He sighed when he said this.

His sigh contained a lot of helplessness and sadness.

"So that's it."

It is indeed not easy to support a family of more than 20 people.

And the money he exchanged for the chicken was naturally used to buy food, but in these days, without food coupons, he could not buy food.

"Old Master, if you still have poultry, I will take it. I can exchange it with you for food next time."

"Really? Then can you exchange food for these three chickens this time?"

It's not easy to buy food without tickets. You can go to the black market, because you don't need tickets to buy food in the black market, but the price is much higher than the grain station.

He can refuse the money, but he must take the food back today because the grain tank at home is empty.

"That's fine, but you have to wait for me."

The old master returned the money to Ling Chuchu.

Waiting at the same place.
