Gu Jiaojiao looked at the large-denomination cloth ration tickets and the stack of cotton ration tickets in her hands.
"Where did you get these?"
These were rare items; most people weren't willing to trade them away.
Leng Yuan didn't hide it.
"Jianshe's mother was saving them for when he gets married. I went and borrowed them. I'll pay them back later."
Gu Jiaojiao was stunned.
'What a move.'
'Awesome.'
'He even gave you the cloth tickets he was saving for his wedding. You two must be really close.'
Gu Jiaojiao took the cloth and cotton tickets, ready to head to the County Town. Worried she didn't have enough money, Leng Yuan gave her two more "Great Unity" bills.
Gu Jiaojiao tucked away the huge sum of several dozen yuan, feeling delighted.
'My man is so rich.'
After marrying Leng Yuan, he had received two manuscript payments—one for over twenty yuan, and another for over ten.
