On Wednesday, Jiang Xinyu received a call from She Xiaoyun inviting her to dinner at her home that evening.
"Sure, I'll come by the supply and marketing cooperative after work to find you."
"Okay, the cooperative received some soybean oil today, do you want any?"
"Yes, I have an oil ticket for ten pounds. I'll use it all today."
"How come you have so many oil tickets?"
"Two pounds every six months, so that's six pounds, the rest are rewards. I also want to buy a plastic oil drum."
"Sure."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinyu took out all her tickets and sorted out the oil tickets, realizing she actually had twenty pounds. She figured some were given by Wei Kaiyun, but if she wanted to buy twenty pounds, the cooperative wouldn't sell it to her. She'll decide later.
"Xinyu, what are you up to?"
"Sister Meng, I'm counting my oil tickets, planning to check out the cooperative this afternoon. My friend said there's soybean oil."
