The two of them sorted through the various ration tickets and found that many were about to expire, so they pulled out all the ones nearing their date.
"After you report to the police station tomorrow, you'll be free, right? Take these tickets," Xiao Furen said, pushing the expiring ones in front of his wife. "If you've got time, go browse the department store or the supply and marketing co-op. Go on a shopping spree. Buy whatever you like, and don't worry about the money." These tickets all had expiration dates. Meat tickets, for example, had to be used within the current month, or they would be void the next. Since it was already the end of the month, they had to be spent quickly, otherwise, they'd go to waste.
"Alright, you got it! I'd love to do that." Yuan Si was more than happy to oblige, gleefully sweeping the small pile of tickets from the bed into her pocket. 'What woman doesn't love a good shopping spree?'
