Back to the era with space materials

The rations are partly sorghum rice and partly freshly harvested spring potatoes.

Sorghum rice is solid in weight and as filling as rice.

Potatoes are inferior, being classified into the same category as sweet potatoes. If you eat them in one meal, you will feel full for a while, but you will get hungry quickly.

Therefore, the exchange ratio for rations is also different.

The rations for the first month when educated youths go to the countryside are subsidized by the state, and are allocated according to the standards for adult males. One person can get 30 kilograms of sorghum rice. If someone does not want sorghum rice, they can also replace it with potatoes at a ratio of 1:2.

Si Ningning was not used to eating sorghum rice, but considering that the climate in the south is humid and potatoes tend to turn green and sprout, she did not dare to change too much. She ordered 26 kilograms of sorghum rice and exchanged the remaining 4 kilograms for 8 kilograms of potatoes.

Carrying the things to one side and waiting, he saw Xu Shuhua, who was fourth in line, craned her neck to look forward. Si Ningning thought about it and took a step closer to remind her: "Don't change the potatoes too much. Once they sprout, you can't eat them."

Xu Shuhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Xu Shuhua originally wanted to exchange 25 kilograms of sorghum rice for potatoes. 50 kilograms of potatoes would be enough for her to eat for a month. The remaining 5 kilograms of sorghum rice could be saved and sent home.

Upon hearing Si Ningning's reminder, Xu Shuhua vaguely remembered a family that used to live in the same alley. At that time, they seemed to have eaten sprouting potatoes. In order to save a ration, they ended up going to the hospital and lying in bed for four or five days.

It cost two or three yuan in medical expenses!

After the old lady was discharged from the hospital, when she heard that she had spent so much money, she fainted on the spot and broke her head again...

It's true that misfortunes never come singly.

Xu Shuhua shuddered, retracted her thoughts from her memories, and quickly closed her already flat pocket.

She still has to share the burden for her family, so don't let her go to the hospital if she doesn't help, and spend more unjust money...

It’s better to change it less!

Giving up the idea of ​​buying a large amount of potatoes, Xu Shuhua compromised and bought 10 kilograms of sorghum rice for potatoes, which was converted into 20 kilograms. It was still the person who bought the most potatoes among the educated youth.

Times were hard, and Xu Shuhua's behavior was not unexpected. It's just that other people, especially male educated youths, prioritized having a full stomach instead of tightening their belts to provide for their families.

How can you work if your stomach is not full?

The public subsidy is only for this time. If there is no subsidy in the future, is it possible to go to the northwest?

After the food was distributed, we all went home together. When we caught up with the female educated youth, they got a lot of things, and the male educated youth even helped us.

Li Lingyuan was holding Song Xiaoyun's 10 kilograms of potatoes. Including his own, the total weight was only 50 kilograms.

Seeing Si Ningning standing at the door with two large bags of rations, Li Lingyuan put the bags on his arms and walked over, "Si Zhiqing, can I get you some pops?"

"Thank you, Li Zhiqing, I can still get it."

Just kidding, Li Lingyuan's pockets are hanging like gourd skewers. If she adds another package to him, wouldn't she be treating him like a human being?

Si Ningning quickly shook her head and declined.

While they were in a stalemate, suddenly there was darkness above their head.

Looking up sideways, she saw Mo Bei standing beside her and Li Lingyuan.

Knowing that Mo Bei's personality would make it impossible for her to carry things for her, Si Ningning simply didn't think about it that way.

He thanked Li Lingyuan, took a step away, and gave way to the door.

I originally thought that Mo Bei thought she was blocking the way, but after getting out of the way, he still stood there without moving, and his starry eyes followed her retreat.

Si Ningning hissed secretly, feeling a toothache.

Isn’t this enough? I’ve already stepped out of the door, brother!
