Can you lend us a cart of grain?
My fourth uncle's brewing skills are excellent, trust me, once we sell the wine and earn some money, we'll definitely pay you back."
Before Sun Chunfang could speak, Yu Xiaolian said, "Aunt Dalin, do you think our family runs an official shop? That we can have as much grain as we want?
Grain now has to be bought on ration tickets and in limited quantities, you know that. We only brought back this cart of grain, didn't you see?
This is also because we took turns buying over almost two months to save up these, if we give them all to you, what will we eat?
Being able to give you two bags is already the limit. Asking for a cartload, we really can't help.
We are planning to ration this cart of grain to last us through the winter since grain is strictly regulated now, and even if you have money, there's nowhere to buy more, right?"
