Chapter 45: The Supply and Marketing Cooperative with Nothing to Ask

Chu Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but Li Huifa didn't think it was a big deal. He took the things and left. After all, he still had to go to work.

Seeing Li Hui's impetuous temper, Chu Yuan finished her breakfast, washed the dishes, and took out her backpack from the room. Today she planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.

Now it's not just that she feeds the whole family if she's well fed.

And there was the letter from Song Xingchen. She felt like there were a lot of things going on recently.

After leaving the Youth League Institute, Chu Yuan walked towards a place based on his feeling.

Along the way, there were farmers going to work, all with simple smiles on their faces.

There was also a group of children running towards the back hill with small baskets on their backs, "I will definitely find more weeds than you today!"

"Hehe! Let's have a competition then!"

Listening to the children's comparisons, it seems that not only adults but children as well have a stronger desire to win.

Chu Yuan looked at the ox cart in front of him and sighed.

Well, now she felt that the cub was not so troublesome, that's all.

Chu Yuan got here relying on the children to lead the way. In the end, one of the children couldn't help it and led the way himself.

Hu Zi looked at the pretty sister, holding the candy the pretty sister gave him, his face full of joy, "Pretty sister, this is the oxcart that takes us to town, three cents per person."

After saying that, Hu Zi no longer cared about the beautiful sister. He still had to go and look for wild vegetables!
There were quite a lot of people on the ox cart today. Some middle-aged ladies were standing aside chatting, but when they saw Chu Yuan coming, everyone fell silent.

"Oh my, is this the pretty educated youth you were talking about? Oh my god, she's so pretty!"

"Then Aunt Wang next door said she was very ugly. If this girl is ugly, then Aunt Wang is a piece of shit!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Does this pretty doll have a partner?"

"Mrs. Suo, this is an educated youth! He is from the city, how dare he look down on us country bumpkins."

"That's right, old woman Wasu. Marrying an educated youth won't help you at all. As a mother-in-law, you have to take care of the old and the young."

The group of aunts didn't stop gossiping at all when Chu Yuan approached.

After chatting with Chu Yuan, they would talk about interesting things in the village, or gossip from other villages.

Chu Yuan approached quietly and listened to the old lady's gossip with great interest.

"What do you think of that little girl?"

The old lady told the gossip about the next team and passed the problem to others.

Chu Yuan held the melon seeds in her little hands and passed them around, "Then it turns out that Chunchun has a bump on his head!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady's eyes were all on Chu Yuan, as if waiting for her next words.

"Aunts, look at that educated youth. He is not the girl's boyfriend, but the girl is still trying to give him gifts. He accepted them and didn't refuse. That male educated youth is even more of a scumbag!"

"But that girl has a bump on her head. She can't see such an obvious thing, and she even uses her own food to feed that pretty boy. Tsk tsk."

"Aunt, if it were you, would you pay to support him?"

The aunts looked around and shook their heads decisively.

"What this beautiful girl said is right, isn't she stupid? She rushed to raise someone without any promises."

"That's right! That young man even got an easy job that earned him work points."

"Then the little girl from the Yang family was deceived!"

"Mrs. Suo, what do you call this? One is willing to fight, and the other is willing to be beaten. If we outsiders go and tell others about this, Miss Yang might accuse us of sowing discord."

These aunts don't want to be good people. They just want to walk their own path and they, as outsiders, just want to watch for fun.

"It's time to go, get in the car!"

Li Erniu's voice rang out, and the ladies around hurried forward. Seeing Chu Yuan still behind, the lady who was close by pulled her forward and said, "Sister, hurry up and sit up."

In this way, Chu Yuan relied on the melon seeds in his pocket to monopolize the "favor".

Chu Yuan took all the care given by the auntie along the way.

Chu Yuan politely declined the old lady's invitation and came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative is not big, but it is very representative of the times.

There are several glass counters in a small room of about 50 square meters. People who come in can see at a glance that there is a long pole on the top with a rope attached to it, where clothes are sold. Behind the salesperson are rows of shelves.

The supply and marketing cooperative was noisy. Many people were carrying bamboo baskets and pushing forward with their hands stretched out, shouting that they wanted to buy things.

You can hear the salesperson's roar and impatience at any time.

The salesperson didn't even bother to look up, and when he heard footsteps, he asked, "What do you want?"

Chu Yuan was planning to buy some to nourish his family, so he asked directly, "Do you have any milk powder?"

The salesperson shook his head, "No."

Chu Yuan: "Where's the malted milk?"

The salesperson continued to shake his head, "No."

Chu Yuan asked several questions in a row, but all he got was a no.

From food to daily necessities, there is nothing available, which is very consistent with the title of a poor island.

The salesperson probably saw that she was unfamiliar, and asked, "Are you a new military wife or an educated youth?"

Chu Yuan: "Educated youth."

The salesperson had a look of astonishment on his face. "Don't even think about it. Our island is a remote and poor place. It's definitely not as good as the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city."

"Besides, the Southwest Corps has supply and demand channels. Most of us here have some connections with the Corps, and most people ask their family members to buy from the Corps' supply and marketing cooperatives."

"The supplies at grain and oil stores and non-staple food stores are not complete. They usually only sell meat two or three times a week. If you want to eat fish, shrimp or crab, you might as well go to a village near the sea and exchange some with them."

"But it also depends on luck. After all, no one can afford to eat right now. Whether you can get a change depends on luck."

Listening to the salesperson's words, Chu Yuan felt like the sky was falling. She was thinking of buying some supplements at the supply and marketing cooperative first, and then some meat and seafood.

Now she is told that there is nothing to sell because the supply is insufficient.

But she just saw so many people coming to buy, so it’s impossible that they are out of stock, right?

But when Chu Yuan looked around, he saw that the number of people was gradually decreasing.

Seeing Chu Yuan's good looks, the salesperson felt better about going to work, and explained, "These are the first batch of people who came to grab them. They will naturally disperse after they are all grabbed."

"There were already a lot of people outside our supply and marketing cooperative at five in the morning. You're late."

Chu Yuan looked like she was struck by lightning. She got up at six o'clock and waited for people at five o'clock. She had so much money, but in the end she couldn't buy anything.

What’s the use of this money!
If I had known that Chu Yuan was in the city, I should have exchanged all of their supplies for supplies. Most of the supplies from the Zhao and Chen families were alcohol, cigarettes, tea, and sugar.

It's impossible for her to smoke and eat candy every day without worrying about being full.

Chu Yuan held on to a glimmer of hope and went to the grocery store and the grain and oil store, but that little bit of hope was shattered.

No, really not.

There was some seafood, but she wouldn't even take the dried little fish and shrimps even if it was free.

Chu Yuanzhi had been raising her family well-fed over the years, but it ended before it even began. She wasn't even sure if she could support herself.

She walked aimlessly on the street and bought things worth less than ten yuan. She had thousands of dollars but couldn't spend it even if she wanted to.
