Chapter 20: A Busy and Leisurely Time

Back at his residence, Zhang Junping originally planned to rest during the day, but for the legendary chicken ticket and the cute dog ticket, he began to work hard.

"You kid really don't want to die?" The old lady saw that Zhang Junping didn't rest when he came back, and on a hot day, his clothes were wet, and he was still working there, and reprimanded him distressedly.

"Grandma Liu, it's okay!

I'm still young, what's the pain?" Zhang Junping raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and grinned.

"That's not good, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I don't know how to rest and make up for sleep today!" the old lady reprimanded with a dark face.

"Grandma Liu, I can't sleep during the day!

I'll work more during the day and go to bed early at night!" Zhang Junping also knew that the old lady was for his good, but when he thought of agreeing to the eldest sister at the post office to buy stamps tomorrow, Zhang Junping was completely sleepy.

Besides, isn't it just staying up all night?

What a big deal!

His current body, but he is twenty years old, which is the age when he is full of energy and explosive.

Stay up for a day and two nights, and there is no problem at all.

Until the evening, when it was dark, Zhang Junping made a total of fifteen folding chairs.

Practice makes perfect, and after making more than 20 folding chairs in a row, Zhang Junping's speed is now one-fifth faster than before.

Zhang Junping also wanted to go back to the house to make a few more, enough for twenty.

As a result, the old lady confiscated the tools and forced him to take a bath and sleep.

After more than 30 hours of sleepless work and another eight or nine hours of carpentry work, Zhang Junping was almost at the limit.

After taking a shower, I lay down in bed, and in less than five minutes, I fell asleep deeply.

The next morning, Zhang Junping woke up and came back to life full of blood again.

Young is good!

The feeling of that body swelling in the morning, it's so good!

The old lady got up earlier than Zhang Junping, and she had already come back from exercising at this time, and she was ready to be early.

After worshipping the teacher, and then eating the meal prepared by the old lady, I suddenly felt different.

In the past, I always ate with a feeling of gratitude, which made people feel less comfortable.

Now I feel much more comfortable and feel at ease.

The apprentice eats the master, it is justified!

After eating breakfast, Zhang Junping went out to find a board car.

Pull the folding chair made yesterday to Dashilar.

Folding chairs are still popular!

It was snapped up directly on the board car.

Count the gross tickets in your hand, the whole zero, a total of fifteen yuan.

Fifteen yuan, a little better in the back mountain, is not enough for an early meal.

However, in this day and age, fifteen yuan is a month's salary for many people.

He went to college, and the monthly subsidy was only eighteen yuan.

I have been to Dashilar for four or five times, the first day, I waited for half a day for customers, and the second day, I came and went in a hurry, and I never had a good look at Dashilar in the 80s.

Today I finally have time and mood.

In the morning, there is a morning market in Dashilar.

In the 80s, the streets were very narrow, there were a lot of people, and it seemed very crowded, basically crowded with people, and people were crowded.

Naturally, there are many things sold on the roadside!

There are farmers who go to the city to sell vegetables, and there are also all kinds of small traders, who buy fruits, sell snacks, sell clothes, sell electronic watches, and collect and sell tickets.

Collecting tickets, collecting all kinds of bills, food stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, candy stamps, wine stamps, coal stamps, industrial stamps, foreign exchange rolls, as long as you can think of the tickets, there are all collected here, and there are also sold.

On both sides of the road are all kinds of shops, Ma Juyuan who sells hats, Neiliansheng who sells shoes, Badaxiang who sells clothes, pickle shops that sell Liubiju, the four treasures of the study room of Rong Bao Zhai, and Tongrentang, Zhang Yiyuan Tea House, Changchun Hall, as well as Yipinzhai, Buyingzhai, Jushunhe, Changchengkui, etc., are all time-honored brands with a history of 100 years.

Walking on the streets of Dashilar, the sounds of selling, bargaining, quarrelling, all kinds of voices are noisy together, converging into a prosperous music.

After walking around Dashilar for nearly an hour, Zhang Junping bought a large fresh carp, weighing more than three catties, and carried it in his hand with a straw rope through the gills.

Good mood!

Dashilar's strong atmosphere of life makes people feel at ease.

Looking at the time, he felt that it was time for the post office to work, so Zhang Junping strolled to the post office.

It's still the eldest sister from yesterday, and she's busy receiving mail and parcels at this time.

Zhang Junping was equal for a while, and when she was done, she stepped forward, "Sister, I brought the money, are yesterday's stamps still there?"

"Yo! It's early! I have all the stamps for you!" The eldest sister saw Zhang Junping, smiled heartily, and turned around and took out two stamps.

It can be seen that it is indeed specially reserved for Zhang Junping, and the two versions of chicken tickets and dog tickets are specially put together.

"Thank you, big sister!" Zhang Junping carefully put away the stamps.

I walked out of the post office with the stamp, and I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Grandma Liu, I bought a big carp, I will show you a hand at noon, let you taste my craft!" Zhang Junping raised the big carp in his hand.

This carp is definitely wild, with tenacious vitality, carrying it all the way, and still jumping around.

"That's a good feeling! I'll be waiting to eat ready-made food at noon!"

"Please, I'll make sure you eat the fish once, and think a second time!"

"Hehe! As long as your cooking skills can be half as good as your mouth, it must be at the level of a chef!" the old lady teased with a smile.

"That must be the level of a chef! When a chef tastes it, he has to give a thumbs up! Say it, it's delicious!" Zhang Junping and the old lady put the carp in a pot and poured water to raise it.

Then I got on with other things.

First of all, I dismantled the scrap bicycle that I got back from the thrift yard yesterday, disassembled it into parts, and then sanded the rust on it with sandpaper.

The old lady sat on the leisure chair with the radio, and a pot of tea on the stone table next to her, happily watching where Zhang Junping was busy.

The old lady enjoys this kind of life very much, when you are old, no matter how much you have achieved and how famous you are, what you want most is to be happy under your children and grandchildren.

The appearance of Zhang Junping just made up for the lack of the old lady in this regard.

After sanding all the parts, they wiped down with the used engine oil from the old cargo station before they began to assemble again.

Although Zhang Junping has not learned to repair bicycles, woodworking is a profession that tests his hands-on ability, and Zhang Junping's hands-on ability is naturally very strong.

Thinking about it myself, a half-finished bicycle was assembled in a short time, and only the inner and outer tubes and saddle were missing.

It's a pity that there is no paint, otherwise it will look like new with paint.

"Grandma Liu, my craft is still passable, right?" After looking at the fruits of his labor for a while, Zhang Junping showed himself to the old lady.

"Not bad!

Boy, tell me, you have this skill, why did you faint at my door with hunger in the first place?" The old lady couldn't see Zhang Junping's proud appearance, and said with a smile.

"Grandma Liu, can we not mention the past?" Zhang Junping said with a bitter face.

Zhang Junping had a premonition in his heart, starving and fainting on the side of the road, this messy incident is estimated to be with him for a lifetime.
