Chapter 34 Scrap Station
Mu Xiu took out four ten yuan from his arms and handed it to the curly hair salesman, and said in a plain tone: "I took the cash, I've got the shoes."
The curly hair salesman didn't expect Mu Xiu to really take out the money. She was a little surprised, but she still took the money, then wrapped the shoes and handed them to Mu Xiu.
"Salesperson, I'll pull some more cloth." Mu Xiu asked again after taking the packaged shoes and change.
"One foot cloth costs 1 yuan." Although the curly hair salesman had a faint tone, his attitude was much better than before.
"Okay, I want the six-foot red cotton cloth with flowers, and three-foot black coarse cloth." Mu Xiu's mother-in-law was also an old tailor. When she was teaching Mu Xiu to make clothes, she told her that the fabrics used to be based on a ruler, and one meter was about three feet three.
Mu Xiaohua's small body frame, two sets of clothes, and you can also leave some cloth to make a upper. It is enough to buy two meters of fine cotton and one meter of coarse cloth.
"It costs 9 yuan in total, and there are 5 cloth tickets."
Mu Xiu asked hesitantly: "Is the food coupon OK?"
"No, no, the food coupon is a food coupon, and the cloth coupon is a cloth coupon. Buying cloth not only requires money, but also requires cloth coupons. Little girl, you should go home and ask your adults to buy things." After the curly hair salesman said that, he ignored Mu Xiu, sat back in the seat just now, and continued to chat with the other two salesmen.
After all, Mu Xiu was not from this era, and the original owner did not have the concept of these things in his mind. The original owner didn’t know what food coupons and cloth coupons were...
It seems that I don’t think about buying cloth today. I will ask about the market conditions carefully when I go back and stop making jokes.
Mu Xiu took the shoes into a small basket and quickly walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. As a result, he walked too fast and knocked down a little boy as soon as he went out. When Mu Xiu realized, he saw the little thin boy on the ground, curled his lips and started crying.
Mu Xiu quickly reached into his pocket, and with a thought, there were a few more fruit candies in his pocket. She took out one and handed it to the little boy, "Little brother, I'm sorry, sister gives you candy, don't cry."
When the little boy heard that there was candy, he immediately raised his head, took it, and forgot to cry. He quickly peeled it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that the little boy stopped crying, Mu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid of seeing the little boy crying, so Mu Xiu helped the little boy up.
Children at that time seemed to have one thing in common, that is, their faces turned yellow, their clothes were not suitable, and they were very thin. There was no way, everyone was poor, and there were at least three children in the family. Even if they were dual-employed, it would be difficult to raise them.
"Sugar, so sweet, thank you sister." The little boy smiled on his dirty face and smiled at Mu Xiu.
"Little brother, why are you running around on the street alone? Where are your adults?" Mu Xiu looked around and found no adults nearby guarding the little boy, and at this moment, he did not see any adults looking for the little boy coming over.
"My home is right in front of me, and my mother is busy, so I ran out to play alone." The little boy said indifferently. Mu Xiu looked at his usual expression and seemed to run around alone.
Mu Xiu looked at the little boy in front of him, who was five or six years old, and his parents were also very worried that they were not afraid of their children being lost or being abducted.
I have to say that Mu Xiu was really thinking too much. At that time, his own children would not be able to eat enough, so who would have the heart to raise other people's children?
But Mu Xiu couldn't let it go, "Little brother, where is your home? Sister will send you home."
The little boy just ate Mu Xiu's candy and thought that this sister was the best person. He nodded obediently and walked towards the direction of home with Mu Xiu.
The little boy's home was indeed not far away. After walking a few steps, he turned a street and arrived. However, the little boy's home looked a bit special, in the guard room of a dilapidated factory building.
"Mom, mom, I'm back!" As soon as the little boy arrived at the door, he shouted happily.
"Little bastard, I ran out silently again. Didn't I tell you not to run around? See how I deal with you." The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the room.
Immediately afterwards, a fat figure walked out of the house, holding a feather duster in his hand, and cursing, "I work so hard every day, so you can't be more at ease. Run away and see if I don't break your legs."
The fat middle-aged woman, who was wide and fat, reached out and pulled the little boy over, and hit the feather duster on her right hand.
After hitting it twice, the little boy felt pain and started crying.
"Auntie, please calm down. The child is still young, don't break it." Mu Xiu hurried forward and pulled the little boy over.
"Who are you? I educate my child and care about you? By the way, you were with my son just now, are you uneasy to be kind?" The middle-aged woman looked at Mu Xiu in a bad tone.
"Mom, my sister sent me home and gave me candy. My sister is not a bad person." Although the little boy was crying, he also knew that Mu Xiu was not a bad person.
"Give you candy? You are crazy about eating candy. Who would have been willing to give it to someone you don't know?" The little boy's mother looked disbelieving.
"Auntie, I bought things from the supply and marketing cooperative. When I saw my little brother alone on the street, I was worried that he would get lost, so I sent him back." Mu Xiu had to explain.
"This is the candy that a relative of mine grabbed for me. I gave me a piece of it. Auntie, you can eat candy too, don't be angry." Mu Xiu grabbed a few fruit hard candies from his pocket and handed them to the little boy's mother.
"Ah, this is so precious!" The little boy's mother's face-changing speed was very fast, and her angry look quickly turned into a smile on her face.
However, the hand was not vague at all. He tightly held the candy given by Mu Xiu into his hand, as if she was afraid that she would repent, so he quickly peeled off one and filled it into his mouth, making a satisfying sound.
"Mom, I still want to eat candy." Although the little boy had tears on his face and looked obviously afraid of his mother, he still couldn't resist the temptation of candy. His eyes were full of desire and he spoke timidly.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman did not scold him, but peeled off another candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
