Chapter 140: Joining the War
The next day, there was news that Xiao Liangwen was beaten by Zhao Baokun and injured and hospitalized, but the two said at the same time that it was a misunderstanding, the two were playmates in the hospital for many years, and there was no contradiction.
Since both of them said so, of course no one else could say anything, and the matter was over.
However, Xiao Liangwen stayed in the hospital for more than a week before returning home, and recuperated for more than a month before coming to work.
When he came to work again, Zhou Xiaoan never saw him again.
Zhou Xiaoan was very happy, this time she didn't need to pay attention, Xiao Liangwen took the initiative to avoid her! Of course, there is also Zhao Baokun who avoids her like a snake and scorpion.
The avoidance was particularly thorough, if it weren't for Zhou Xiaoan's access to attendance records every day, she would have thought that Zhao Baokun had disappeared from the mine.
Force is really the most direct and effective means in any situation!
Zhou Xiaoan looked at her little slender arm and said that she especially worships force now!
After May Day, the weather immediately became hot, Zhou Xiaoan made two sets of summer clothes for Zhou Xiaoquan and Little Potato each, and made himself a white bragi (dress) with small flowers, a white short-sleeved shirt, a blue skirt, and not many cloth tickets in his hand.
But how can a girl only have two sets of clothes in the summer?
Zhou Xiaoan began to ponder about getting a cloth ticket.
The fastest way is to go to the black market, she has inquired about the location, in a very high and inconspicuous alley next to the Chengbei Railway Station, the food in her space is casually moved out A bag of goods is in short supply, and it is enough to change ten sets of clothes!
But unless it's very urgent, the black market can't be easily accessed.
Although many people will go to the black market to trade now, if they are caught, they will be fined for the light and punished for speculation!
Of course, this kind of private transaction is very rare, and once a year is considered a lot. But Zhou Xiaoan said that she was timid, and she was afraid that the good jobs and good prospects that were easy to get would be affected, so she would not die!
You can also go to the countryside to exchange cloth tickets.
It is clearly written on the cloth ticket that "buying and selling is prohibited, exchange is allowed", so now everyone who goes to the countryside to buy cloth tickets is called exchanging cloth tickets.
This is not a big risk, as long as you don't offend people and don't get reported, it's fine. Even if a small amount is reported, it is only criticized and educated, and it will not hurt the root.
But Zhou Xiaoan doesn't have time! From Monday to Saturday, I have to go to work, go to night school, and sort out the materials for the testing department, and Sunday is also a full-day class, and I have to study with Pan Mingyuan!
Recently, Pan Mingyuan seemed to have suddenly discovered that Zhou Xiaoan was a good student, and his enthusiasm for teaching her was unprecedentedly high, and he even forced her to start learning English.
With such a busy schedule, it is impossible to spare a day alone to go to the countryside to exchange cloth tickets.
So Zhou Xiao'an was a little anxious, she thought that she had recovered most of her beauty, and frowned at the little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and crystal clear skin in the mirror every day, look! The white blind looks so good! Just two sets of clothes, it's really red-faced!
So when she found out that Sister Lao and several female leaders with high qualifications were secretly buying black market grain in the mine, not to mention how happy she was.
said that he bought it secretly, but in fact, he didn't really avoid people, otherwise Zhou Xiaoan would have found out.
It's all tacit to everyone, and now every family has to buy some black market grain or vegetables that farmers secretly sell in the city as subsidies, and it is estimated that there are black market vegetables on the table of the public security chief's house, and no one can say who it is.
Sister Lao's wages are not low, and they are willing to pay a lot of money to buy good things, and some peasants who went to the city to sell vegetables and rations are familiar with it, so they come directly to the mine to sell to them.
The secret joint location is at the east gate of the mine, next to an abandoned plywood factory, which is trading right inside its door, and is very hidden.
Sister Lao didn't hide it from Zhou Xiaoan, and taught her skills, teasing her with a smile, "Sooner or later, you can use it one day!" ”
Recently, Sister Lao has begun to think about introducing someone to Zhou Xiaoan, and often teases her with this.
How many times Zhou Xiaoan said that she didn't think about it now, Sister Lao wishfully thought that she was shy.
Well, now the shy young women all say so, every time Zhou Xiaoan sees Sister Lao looking at her with a smile, "Our Xiao'an is really getting more and more beautiful!" His face turned to a stone, and he felt like a pig to be slaughtered and sold.
However, since he knew that he could buy things at the east side door, Zhou Xiaoan didn't mind being looked at as a weighed pork, so he ran to the union when he had nothing to do, and followed Sister Lao to the east side door to participate in several black market transactions, and finally figured out the doorway inside.
Taking advantage of the lack of classes on Tuesday night, Zhou Xiaoan got off work half an hour early, and ran back before the electric bell rang after work, "Sister Lao, show you this!" At the east gate! ”
Holding a small handful of rice in his hand, he secretly handed it to Sister Lao.
Sister Lao was very surprised, and quietly pulled Zhou Xiaoan to the corner, "How many, why did you sell it?" ”
Only a small part of province B produces rice, which was already scarce, but now the food supply is so tight that there is no trace of rice in the market for two or three years.
"There are at least 30 catties, saying that my son got married, and relatives in the south sent it, but the new daughter-in-law wants new clothes and new quilts, and there is no way to take them out and sell them, so I want money and cloth tickets, and I can have industrial coupons, but I don't want anything else."
"A pound of rice costs a dollar, and a five-foot cloth ticket." A pound of rice on the black market has been fried for five or six yuan, and if an old man has a sick daughter-in-law who gives birth to a child and grits his teeth and wants to buy a catty, he may not be able to sell it. A five-foot cloth ticket for one dollar, this price is simply cheap!
Sister Lao immediately decided, "You go and detain people!" Tell him we're all going to do! The eldest sister went to find someone to make up the tickets and make up the money! ”
There are so many cadres in the mine, so cheap, there must be more people to buy! These thirty catties are not enough at all, you can only give priority to those who have a good relationship with them, and you have to keep it secret!
Zhou Xiaoan received the order and hurriedly ran to detain the farmers who sold rice!
When Sister Lao took the two female cadres from the mine to go, Zhou Xiaoan was the only one in the abandoned guard room of the plywood factory.
Zhou Xiao'an pointed to a farmer in a patched black homespun trouser with a blanket on his shoulder, crouching in cringe.
"I didn't dare to come over if I said anything, so I said I'd sell it to me, and I'll get the money and cloth tickets later."
Sister Lao laughed a few times, and they often encountered this situation.
Nowadays, many farmers are forced to be anxious to sneak out to sell some family rations and vegetables in their own fields, and they are timid and afraid of causing trouble and being criticized for going back, on the one hand, they also feel ashamed to sell things, and many of them are so afraid to speak and dare not show their faces, so they will give you things, squatting in the middle and waiting to send him money.
A female cadre opened the rice bag first, grabbed a handful of rice, and showed it to Sister Lao in surprise, "Sister Lao! It's refined white rice! ”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and they all knew that they had picked up a big bargain!
Sister Lao always buys things, and she has a scale in her hand, and she carries the bag made of old homespun cloth, and nods affirmatively, "Thirty catties is only a lot more!" ”
Without being busy deciating the rice first, Sister Lao handed an envelope containing money and cloth tickets to Zhou Xiao'an, and asked her to send the farmer away first.
Since they are honest to this extent, of course they can't go with a large number of people and scare people out of the way.
Zhou Xiaoan took the money and ran out, walked to the farmer, handed him the envelope, and said something to him, the man bowed to Zhou Xiaoan gratefully, and trotted away.
In fact, where did the farmer who sold rice come from, it was this farmer uncle who drove the cart at the gate of the mine hospital and wanted to pull his feet to earn some food stamps, but he couldn't open his mouth, and he was afraid of being caught and criticized, so he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
His old mother was hospitalized in the hospital, and she couldn't eat without food stamps, so Zhou Xiaoan fooled people into coming.
Let the uncle take a pile of broken wood from the yard of the plywood factory and move it from this side of the yard to her, and then let him squat there for a while, act as a rice seller for her, and give the uncle a dollar and five catties of food stamps.
It's the best of both worlds!
Zhou Xiaoan touched the money and cloth tickets in his satchel, and began to think about what kind of flower skirt to make for himself.
It's a pity that she was stupid before she was beautiful for half an hour.
Zhou Xiaoan's hand holding the microphone trembled, "Little, uncle, I won't have to play a bunch of question marks with you in writing letters in the future, and I won't always let you show me whether the blackcurrant is ripe or not, don't scare me, I know, what you said about performing a special mission is to go to the battlefield!" ”
