Yuan Si stared at the colorful ration coupons in her hand, a little dazed. She hadn't expected there to be so many different kinds.
She went through them one by one, asking the young man next to her to explain the ones she didn't recognize. At last, she saw the long-awaited industrial coupons.

It was better to be prepared than to be caught empty-handed when the time came.
After watching the young man leave cheerfully, Yuan Si finally headed to the supply cooperative.
