Chapter 46: The Military Overcoat
When he came, Zhou Xiaoan received this month's salary, worked for 20 days, and took eleven yuan and one cent and five cents.
Coupled with the money and food stamps left by the uncle, after removing the more than ten yuan spent on the train, there are now only twelve five cents and five cents and nine catties and two taels of food stamps left in her hand.
She doesn't have to worry about eating, but she wants to make a new set of clothes for Zhou Xiaoquan, buy herself a set of autumn clothes and pants, make a few pieces of underwear-clothes-, and then see if she can buy sweaters and pants, these all need money and cloth tickets, and now the money and cloth tickets are coming to the door by themselves!
How safe it is to sell the military coat to Zhao Fang! There is no need to go to the black market to worry about being caught, they have no relatives in Liushugou, and they will not come back if they leave, so they have no worries at all.
Zhao Fang was also very happy, if she could bring a military coat back, her husband would definitely not lose his temper because of her coming to the countryside!
Lighting the oil lamp, Zhou Xiaoan fumbled in the cabinet and pulled out a brand new military coat.
There are several brand new items in the cold storage cabinet, the appearance and fabric are almost the same as the current military coat, the only difference is in the lining, the current lining is cotton, and the cold storage is blended.
Zhou Xiaoan said the difference, and Zhao Fang was even happier, "Sister, your relatives are the big leaders of the army, right?" How expensive is blended fabric! The color is positive, wear-resistant, not only cloth tickets, but also industrial coupons! I saw a blended fabric in a big shopping mall in the provincial capital, and it was sold out as soon as it hit the shelves! This coat is for the big cadres to wear! ”
Zhou Xiaoan blinked and nodded expressionlessly, "My uncle is the head of the regiment." ”
Zhao Fang touched the collar of her coat, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she hugged it in her arms and didn't let go, "Sister, how do you sell this coat?" ”
Zhou Xiaoan didn't know the price at all, "You can also see the quality of this coat, you can see how much you can give." This is my uncle for my brother, he is not yet tall, he can't wear it, I want to change the money and cloth ticket to make him a few new clothes, if the money is too low, I will keep it for two years and wait for him to grow up before wearing it. Boys grow up fast anyway. ”
Zhao Fang and her mother exchanged a few glances, and the two began to dig out their pockets and bags, and took out a bunch of money and tickets piecemeal, and in the last count, the money was only sixty-eight and five yuan, and the cloth tickets were quite a lot, thirty-two feet.
The phone calls to them were conveyed layer by layer, and the news was so vague that they thought that Lao Liu Tou was critically ill and had not died. I'm afraid that he didn't pretend to be old clothes, so he brought all the cloth tickets he had saved at home, plus what Lao Liu Tou had saved over the years, it was really a lot.
The price of a military coat now costs one hundred or twenty yuan, plus a fifteen-foot cloth ticket and a one-and-a-half-pound cotton ticket.
Everything else is easy to say, but cotton tickets are too difficult to find, and they usually don't issue them at all, only a few taels when they get married and have children, and it's not easy to get enough for one and a half catties.
Zhao Fang was very embarrassed with the money and tickets, it was not enough at all! But he still didn't put down his military coat, "Sister, if I go back and make up again, you keep the coat for me, I definitely want it!" ”
Zhou Xiaoan looked at the dozen industrial coupons and a pile of food stamps they put aside, "We are also going home soon, and we can't wait for you." ”
Zhao Fang was about to cry urgently, or did her mother have eyes and pushed all the industrial coupons and food stamps over, "Child, these are all for you, have you seen enough?" ”
There are still four days left in this month, and no matter how you can deal with it, it is more important for your son-in-law to look down on her daughter than anything else!
Coupled with five catties of food stamps and fifteen industrial coupons, this military coat is Zhao Fang's husband's!
Zhou Xiaoan didn't forget to tell them, "You steal it away, don't let my brother see it, he is precious this dress." ”
The mother and daughter nodded hurriedly, such a good dress, who can not be a baby?
Early the next morning, before Zhou Xiaoan got up, the mother and daughter had already left, afraid that Zhou Xiaoan's sister and brother would regret it in a hurry.
Zhou Xiao'an counted the money and tickets one by one like a little mouse who was greedy for money, and his swollen eyes were almost invisible with laughter.
She and her brother have new clothes! Autumn clothes and pants not only need cloth tickets, but now they also need industrial coupons, and you can't buy anything without them!
In the next few days, Zhou Xiaoan stayed at home, learning to write with Zhou Xiaoquan every morning, making rapid progress, and on the tenth day of the first month, Zhou Xiaoquan had a sense of crisis, "Sister! If you learn faster, I won't be able to teach you! ”
The children in the first year of junior high school learned more than 1,000 Chinese characters, and almost all of them were taught to their sisters in ten days.
Zhou Xiaoan spread his hands, "Then you have to hurry up and work hard!" When the time comes, I won't learn from you if I overtake me! ”
After more than ten days of eating and sleeping well, Zhou Xiaoan's face has become swollen, but there are still bruises at the corners of his mouth and eyes, and it is no problem to go out to meet people.
The ingenious second sister-in-law was grateful for the biscuits and rock candy she gave to the children, and carefully trimmed her hair, with short ear-length hair with eyebrows and bangs, and big eyes and a small face, like a cute little girl of fourteen or fifteen.
It's just that the hair quality is really bad, dry and yellow, deformed when pressed, messy when the wind blows, and it can't be washed every morning, which makes Zhou Xiaoan, who loves smelly beauty, very annoyed.
She tried to straighten a few strands of hair that were always cocked up with the technique of perming with tongs in her early years, but she didn't master the heat well, and she stabbed it and scalded a large piece......
So when the second uncle took Zhou Xiaoan to the production team to watch the excitement, half of her hair was missing a big piece like a dog.
Zhou Xiaoan greeted his aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters with a sideways face, trying to hide the missing piece. I was nervous to see so many strangers, but now my face is made of a stone, and I can't wait to cover my hand on that half of my head......
But she had to come, there was a person she had to see - Han Dazhuang had a good idea of the horse widow who was almost not engaged.
Zhou Xiaoan still knew about Widow Ma when he was pushed down the stairs by Han Xiaoshuang.
It turned out that before marrying Zhou Xiaoan, Han Dazhuang had already taken a fancy to Widow Ma in his hometown in the countryside, and was waiting to get married.
But later, Mrs. Han heard about the Zhou family and the Wang family, and felt that she could take the opportunity to marry a young and beautiful yellow flower girl for her son, the most important thing is that this girl is still registered in the city, has a job, and can earn money! There is such a good thing, who would marry a rural widow!
So in the end, Zhou Xiaoan married into the Han family.
According to Han Xiaoshuang, Widow Ma also went to Peizhou after they got married, and whether he had any contact with Han Dazhuang Zhou Xiaoan was not clear, and it was certain that Han Xiaoshuang was coaxed to her wholeheartedly.
That's why Han Xiaoshuang stared at Zhou Xiaoan to find fault later, but Han Dazhuang ignored it and let it go.
The horse widow looks like she is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall and tall, with a wide skeleton, a big round face, and big eyes, which is very in line with the aesthetics of this era.
The most prominent thing is her figure, wearing a fat big cotton jacket and drag crotch big cotton pants, and you can even see the bulging swelling on her chest and her fat ass.
Zhou Xiaoan understood that she was able to escape because Han Dazhuang liked this!
She doesn't complain about the widow, but since she has this mind, she might as well use it and let her help her get a smooth divorce, and maybe she can get what she wants to marry in the city!
The stakes are high, Zhou Xiaoan couldn't care about her missing piece of hair, and showed a small white tooth in the direction of the widow, eldest sister, I rely on you for divorce!
