The counter was lined with several cans of fruit, including peaches, bayberries, and pears.
Xia Chuyi took two of each kind, which impressed the cashier with her bold and extravagant spending.
Beyond that, she also bought a tin of malted milk powder and some assorted pastries.
For Xia Chuyi, these foods were neither particularly tasty nor nutritious. But there was no helping it; these were the kinds of high-end gifts people liked to give during this era.
She bought them simply so her aunt and uncle could have something to give to others.
Because she didn't have food coupons, she had to pay double the usual price for these items.
As she paid, she felt a pain in her flesh.
Especially when she thought about how the food coupons would soon be cancelled and the prices of goods would drop significantly, she felt an even greater pain.
Ah, but she still had to buy them!
