Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Xiaowang cheerfully said, "Sister-in-law, I trust anything you bring me, even without checking!"

Despite saying this, he conscientiously checked the authenticity of the ration coupon and then moved the Da Qian Men and Maotai liquors onto the wooden counter. He added a jin of walnut cakes, "Sister-in-law, what else do you want to buy? Today is New Year’s Day, isn’t it? We’ve laid out a lot of stuff we didn’t dare to bring out before. There’s also something belonging to Colonel Lu’s wife. Just let me know what you need."

Backed by her resources, Feng Qingxue lacked nothing in terms of food or clothing. The primary reason she shopped was to blend in with the crowd.

"Give me two rolls of toilet paper, the kind that cost five mao per roll. I also brought the ration coupons that Colonel Lu asked the leaders for. I’ll take two bottles of the finest Maotai, and if you have canned luncheon meat, give me two cans of that." She thought of purchasing this Maotai which, decades later, would fetch the price of a wealthy buyer at an auction. Perhaps investing in Maotai wasn’t a bad idea at all.

Xiaowang brought out the items she requested. After the transaction ended, he reached under the counter and handed a packet of cheese to Feng Qingxue.

"I didn’t ask for this!" exclaimed Feng Qingxue.

Xiaowang grinned, "This is mine, not from the store. Take it home for Xibao to eat."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingxue hastily declined, "No, no. Xiaowang, keep it for yourself. The gifts from Xiao Sang and Xiaohan are already plenty for Xibao." How delicate is Xibao?

"Absolutely not. You accepted gifts from Han Ping and Sang Hong. You can’t refuse mine. Otherwise, it will be a loss of face for me in front of Xibao!"
