It included wool coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, industrial coupons, and so on.
"Since it was given by dad, mom, and elder brothers, you should save it. Why do you need to spend it?"
Kang Guoan disapproved of his beloved sister spending money recklessly, especially since it was money she had saved herself.
"I'm not spending it recklessly, I am buying gifts for the family."
Muttering under her breath, Kang Li then stared at Kang Guoan and said, "Brother, don't worry about me. Just do as I say. Buy three portions of braised pork, and we won't buy the large meat buns. That should be okay, right?"
Kang Guoan, "Why do you need to buy three portions?"
"One portion to give to Fourth Brother and his wife before we head home, and the remaining two portions to take home. You know, our family has many people, and one portion is not enough. I fear there might not even be a piece for everyone."
After listening to Kang Li, Kang Guoan frowned and fell silent for a while, then sighed, "I really don't know what to say about you!"
"Then don't say anything! Keep the money safe. After you've made the purchases, wait for me at the entrance of the state-run restaurant."
While saying this, Kang Li pulled out a small cloth bag from a larger one she held in her hand, which held two aluminum lunch boxes, "Look, I even brought lunch boxes to buy the braised pork."
Kang Guoan, "Three portions of braised pork, and you bring only two lunch boxes; that's not enough to hold them!"
Kang Li, "The two portions for our family can be put in one lunch box, that would be fine."
In those days, the dishes sold by state-run restaurants were generously portioned, but one portion of braised pork wouldn't fill an entire aluminum lunch box, more precisely, filling half a lunch box was already quite good.
After all, the capacity of the aluminum lunch boxes was not small.
Unexpectedly, Kang Guoan raised another objection, "I am worried about you going into the department store alone."
"What's there to worry about? Brother, don't forget, we were born on the exact same day, of the same month, and year. And I'm not stupid. If you keep saying things like before, it will hurt my feelings; I'll feel like you're treating me like a fool!"
Kang Li pursed her lips tightly, her expression full of grievance.
Seeing this, Kang Guoan's heart ached in an instant, and he modified his tone, "Alright, alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the state-run restaurant, but you must ensure your safety and never go off with strangers."
"I promise to do that."
Kang Li beamed with joy.
"You're just stubborn!"
Kang Guoan's eyes softened, and he added, "Remember to secure your money and coupons well, don't let pickpockets find them."
"Brother, don't worry, I'm very careful!"
With that, Kang Li walked leisurely alongside Kang Guoan to the entrance of the department store, then waved at Kang Guoan, "Let's split up here. See you later at the entrance of the state-run restaurant."
As her voice faded, Kang Li stepped up the stairs and entered the department store.
She bought brown sugar and black sugar for the family and a pack of White Rabbit candies for her nephews, and then surreptitiously transferred the pre-selected clothes and socks into her cloth bag through her awareness.
Everything was sorted in less than twenty minutes, and she left the department store.
The clothes that Kang Li had drawn in the big gift earlier, she directly put into the System space and didn't take them out, not because she didn't want to, but because she had no reasonable excuse.
"Did you get everything?"
Seeing Kang Li, Kang Guoan quickly walked over, holding the cloth bag, "What did you buy that you filled the cloth bag so full? And two of them, you..."
Catching sight of Kang Li's bulging large cloth bag, Kang Guoan slightly knitted his brows, "You didn't spend all your saved money, did you?"
"No, no, I ran into an old lady at the department store. As soon as she saw me, she said I caught her eye. When she heard I was buying clothes for my family, she didn't hesitate and dragged me to meet her daughter,
