Chapter 152: The Withheld Letter
When Qiao's father rushed over, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiao Yibing and the militia had solved the matter very neatly.
He was really afraid that these members would faint and really have a conflict, and then the matter would be a big deal.
After the road to the commune was completed, the Takayama Brigade finally welcomed its first bicycle.
Chen Dongfang took his wife and children back to the city, and when he came back, he rode a big bicycle with a front bar.
Everyone had seen a bicycle in the commune, but no one in the brigade really owned it, and everyone was very envious, and they gathered in the open space of the brigade headquarters and stared at the bicycle.
Chen Dongfang's bicycle is not new at first glance, and there is a lot of mud on it all the way, but this does not hinder everyone's enthusiasm to watch it.
The men's eyes were very hot, and they pulled Chen Dongfang to ask the conditions for buying a bicycle, wishing that they could also have one.
And the children have no scruples, they just start touching it, and they can't stop chattering.
If you are bold, you will shout to Chen Dongfang: "Captain, take us around by bicycle!"
Qiao Hongzhi glanced at the person who spoke, "You dream first, I will ride one day, maybe I will take you around twice with kindness." ”
"Haha, Qiao Hongzhi, just talk big, do you think the bicycle is so easy to buy? Hmph, if you have a bicycle at home, I will be your little brother for three months, and you will send it. ”
Qiao Jiayue, who was pulled over to watch the excitement, was a little speechless, so she made a bet, she would definitely buy a bicycle at home, as for whether it would be the first in the village, it was not clear.
Chen Dongfang directly ignored the bear child's words, his car was baby, so he wouldn't be playing with people for nothing.
Qiao's father looked at the bicycle thoughtfully, especially his son's excited appearance, and it seemed that he had to start thinking about how to make money.
Chen Dongfang's bicycle is not for outsiders to ride, but his son can, Qiao Hongzhi has been playing well with Chen Bai recently, and it is still okay to touch the bicycle if he wants to.
Moreover, the open space of the brigade headquarters is large and flat, so there is no need to worry about any damage when riding a bicycle in circles.
The excitement brought by the bicycle quickly subsided, and the members talked more about their own land.
Although the brigade does not divide the self-reserved land, and does not let the members reclaim the original self-reserved land privately, but the solar terms do not wait for anyone, they all quietly make a broken tile pot or something at home and raise seedlings.
The cadres of the brigade knew about this kind of thing, but they all turned a blind eye and did not see it.
Because after Chen Dongfang came back, the brigade headquarters held another meeting, which was about self-reserved land.
He went home for a few days this time and learned more about the self-reserved land, and indeed many places have restored the self-reserved land, but because of the geographical location of the right city, it has to be postponed.
And the provincial capital has already implemented it, calculate the time, and in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the right city will be officially notified.
With Chen Dongfang's news, the cadres of the brigade breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao's father took the opportunity to put forward his ideas, counted and calculated the self-reserved land in advance, and when he received the notice, the members of the club would be able to get the self-reserved land in Mashan.
In this regard, the other production captains all agreed, rather than being in a hurry and being urged by the members to be one head or two, it is better to prepare in advance.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cai Ming came to the Alpine Brigade, and this time he came up with a bicycle
This time he brought a lot of apples, all of them were red, and they looked very gratifying, which he specially brought for Qiao Jiayue's four brothers and sisters.
Nowadays, the fruit preservation technology is poor, the transportation is slow, and it is not easy for the south to eat the fruits from the north, and these apples are still exchanged with the conductor of the train coming from the north when he went to Haishi.
This time, he also gave Qiao's father an iron pot ticket and an aluminum pot ticket, which surprised Qiao's father very much.
After the dissolution of the canteen, the demand for iron pots among the members increased day by day, after all, the clay pots were inconvenient and easy to break.
However, the members did not have tickets in their hands, so they could not buy these limited things at all, so they could only wait to see when the commune would give the brigade invoices and coupons.
And there are so many families in the brigade, and the number of tickets is limited, isn't it to fight for blood?
Hearing that the four teams were going to kill the pigs the next day, Cai Ming immediately said that he wanted to stay and buy pork at a high price.
"When I come back this time, I want to ask for more shiitake mushrooms, but is it convenient?" Cai Ming ran around with the train, his horizons widened a lot, and buying and selling made his purse more fulfilling.
He has not yet started a family, he feeds the whole family without hunger, and he never hesitates to spend money on himself.
"It should be okay, the amount of mushrooms in the mushroom shed has increased a lot recently. Father Qiao nodded in response.
Cai Ming is a god of wealth to the Gaoshan Brigade, he is happy to give money, his work is not revealed, and the members think that he is also a buyer of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Therefore, he wants to dry shiitake mushrooms, and of course the four teams will not refuse.
"Also, we've got a few rabbit jerky, so you can bring some back and try them out. Seeing that Cai Ming seemed to be very interested, Father Qiao said in more detail.
"One is directly dried, the other is marinated and dried with seasonings, I will go to the production team to buy two at the party, you try which one is better." ”
For the members, as long as it is meat, it is delicious, where do you know the difference between the two types of rabbit jerky?
Therefore, Cai Ming's taste also determines how much rabbit jerky the four teams make.
Rabbits grow fast, but the meat of a rabbit is like that, fresh is not easy to sell, Qiao's father simply let people make rabbit jerky, which is resistant to preservation and easy to transport.
"That's good, then I'll have to taste it carefully. Cai Ming readily agreed, it was quite tiring to run with the train, and he felt that he needed to make up for it.
"If it tastes good, maybe I can help you sell it to the market, where the people have more money and are willing to eat. ”
Since Cai Ming changed jobs, there are more and more people who know him, and there are all the first three and nine first-rate here, and the managers of supply and marketing cooperatives and the directors of state-owned hotels have all known a lot.
In big cities, what is most popular is undoubtedly meat.
City dwellers have tickets and money, but everything is available in limited quantities, and even if the conditions are better this year, the supply still can't keep up, and there is nowhere to buy tickets if they have money.
Qiao's father wanted to know the situation in the city now, so he talked to Cai Ming, these days, it is too difficult to understand the situation outside, and there are too few news channels.
"By the way, I almost forgot one thing. Cai Ming said as he opened his backpack, took out a few letters, and gently placed them on the table in front of Qiao's father.
"I got my friends who work at the post office to take notice of your letter. ”
These letters are from last year to this year, and the date of the postmark is the latest July, which shows that they were deliberately intercepted.
Father Qiao picked up those letters, and many thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, and finally turned into a wry smile, "I didn't cause you any trouble with these letters, did I?"
Cai Ming shook his head and smiled, "No, these letters were deliberately pressed in the corner, my friend observed for a while, no one knew where she was, and she didn't find any suspicious people." ”
He was quite curious, who did Qiao's father offend? Seeing that the letter was not opened, it was simply hidden, why?
"Tomorrow the pig will be killed, I invite you to a drink, these letters are very important to us. "Father Qiao is really grateful to Cai Ming.
It was a blessing to receive a reply that the letter they had sent had not been lost or intercepted.
"Haha, then you're welcome. ”
