Chapter 6 Tangshan

Li Na sat in her chair and sorted out her things. Use the bag as a cover and take out the space to be used in the car. Enamel Gangzi, "taken" from home, took out a pack of peach crisps wrapped in newspaper. I soaked it in boiling water on the way to prepare it, and it was still warm, and the bag was full of light pretenses. It's not dark yet, so I have to wait, so I secretly took out a small alarm clock from the space, set it at twelve o'clock, vibrated it, and stuffed it in my arms. With her eyes closed, in fact, when Aunt Wang brought a letter of introduction and a certificate of moving out of the household registration. Li Na thought of it, and knew that it was very difficult to get a Shanghai hukou without thinking about it, and it could even be said that it was almost impossible. Originally, I wanted to cash in a lot, money, tickets, buy a small house in Shanghai, and read so many newspapers. If you have a house in the town, a formal job, and a relative to receive you, you can do it, and the original owner is only 16 years old and still a minor, so you can find your grandmother's family as a guardian. At the age of sixteen, you can join the work, and if you don't want to look for them, you should be able to buy a house and get a household registration. Thanks to the letter of introduction, two certificates of household registration move-out, give yourself a lot of room for operation. But when I really go to Shanghai, not to mention that it is still a collective house, it is difficult to buy a house, and I can't understand Shanghainese, so I don't have to think about it to know, the price must be very high, and how long can I use the materials with limited space? It's okay to go there and buy something that is not available in the mainland.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a clue. Huaxia is so big, there will always be a place to stay. Let's take a break, my feet hurt to death after walking so far.

In fact, Tangshan is really a good place. Unfortunately, it has been two years since the Tangshan earthquake on July 28, 1976. Who would believe it? I am just a small person, but I have decided that when I go to a place by myself, I will write a few more letters to the country anonymously, and it depends on the will of God whether I can attract the attention of the country.

Li Na, who was in a daze, still fell asleep. The alarm clock in her arms vibrated for a while before Li Na woke up. It hurts all over your body when you sleep. Take the bag and go to the toilet to solve the problems in life.

There were a few people in the hall who lined up, and Li Na asked and went to line up. I went out of the hall with everyone to the train to the station and waited, around I was prepared, put on more clothes, or cold enough, the train was really late, everyone waited for more than an hour in the cold wind in the cold night before getting on the train.

At this time, the train can not be compared with modern times, the train is very slow, the noise is very loud, and all kinds of smells on the car are gone, which makes people very uncomfortable. Before the seat finally arrived in Tangshan, the sky was almost dawn

Li Na decided to stay mostly in Tangshan for two days. Fortunately, the guest house is not far away, and she asked for the cheapest single room with a letter of introduction. Five cents a night, it's acceptable. Chase shop is cheap, a dime a night, don't say that everyone has it, it's messy, it's not safe. This money must be spent. The room had only one single bed, a small cupboard. Ok, electrified, with wire plugs. Li Na took out the electric blanket from the space and plugged it in, and slept for a while, it was too comfortable. Having slept enough, I decided to go out for a walk.

Passing by the scrap yard, it is said that there are treasures in this era, Li Na originally planned to go to university and find some textbooks.

An old man at the scrap station watched: "Uncle, I want to find some textbooks for my younger brothers and sisters, and I'm looking for some newspapers to paste on the wall."

Li Na said as she gave him a candy cube. Uncle, let him in happily.

"Hurry up, it can't take more than twenty minutes!"

Li Na went in and found that it was a mess and dusty all over the sky. She rummaged through it, and felt that the valuable ones were like antiques and ancient books, and they were put into the space, but in fact, there were not many. Instead, I found an antique wooden box. It's a pity she doesn't know how to identify it, and the real good stuff won't be put here. Found a small cabinet that you might need later. I found some books, and blank books, and a bundle of newspapers, but not all the textbooks. I felt that it was almost time, so I went out to find the uncle to pass the scales.

He checked very carefully to see that there was nothing prohibited, so he weighed it and spent a dime and a half cent.

After Li Na went out with her things, she found a place where there was no one and threw herself into the space.

She found all the local tickets, went to the department store, and tried to spend them all, but the tickets had a date. After buying, carry people into the space in batches.

She also went to major institutions, factories and mines, and schools to sell chemical fiber sheets, white flour, and rice. Only collect money, no tickets, of course, if you have a national ticket, you can just collect less money, although the grain is only sold for a few catties. I didn't have a way to sell too much, so I still have to eat it. In this way, I went around Tangshan for two days. Mainly sells bed sheets and cotton cloth. It also sold more than 2,000, thanks to the serious shortage of various materials now.

After two days, I finally found the black market. When tidying up the space, there were still two boxes of apples, which was just a bit dehydrated. It is said that the price is now sky-high, and most of the apples, most of the cotton cloth, and only two of the bed sheets were sold to people who specialize in trading on the black market, and they were exchanged for more than 3,000 yuan. Then there were some white potato jerky, jerky meat. The movement was too loud, and he was followed, so he couldn't help but dump people. There's no way, it's rich and dangerous!

The next day, I changed my clothes and went to the black market, planning to change more dried white potatoes, this Li Na loves to eat by herself, and it is forbidden to put it, without eyesight, a pound of white noodles can be exchanged for more than a dozen catties, and she has changed more than 100 catties scattered.

Back at the guest house, Li Na took out the Nizi fabric. Pick a little red plaid with cotton, and plan to make a few clothes. Although the cotton went to the cloth that was covered yesterday. But after dealing with eight, make a few more clothes that fit the look of this era. She inquired a lot before finding a tailor's shop.

"Master" Li Na put the fabric on the table,

"Make two Nizi coats, make two tunics out of Nizi, and make four bloats from cotton. Make four more shirts. ”

The old master looked at her in shock. Li Na hurriedly said.

"Master, this is what I used to get married, as well as my two sisters and two cousins. They were about my size. You make it bigger. I heard that you are good at your craft, so I came all the way here. ”

The old master smiled when he heard this. After measuring Li Na's size, Shun: "Take it in five days!" A total of 25 yuan. ”

Li Na was a little embarrassed and said to her master: "Master, you can help me, I will get married the day after tomorrow." There haven't been many cloth tickets at home, and my mother only got them last night. Please, I'll get married once in my life. Please. ”

The old master frowned and thought for a while, and said: "That's it, I'll find my old buddy and make it for you together, but I have to add two quick money, and you will pick it up at five o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, you see, is it done?" ”

"Good!" Li Na was pleasantly surprised and said, "Thank you so much."

Li Na felt that she had to relax and go shopping, and in those days she was just thinking about making money. I've been nervous, but I'm not in the mood to relax. Get enough sleep in the hospitality.

Take out the military coat from the space, this is different from the military coat of this era, the military coat of this era is earthy yellow, and the style is not the same, but you dare not wear it out. Such a good thing is not wasted! Take out the small scissors and take them apart. The things that are marked on the face are removed. When I have the opportunity in the future, I may be able to make a few coats with this lining and my own woolen cloth to find a tailor. You can also make a few coats to wear. My own craftsmanship is almost good, but I can wear it, but I am a little stumbling.

I also looked for a scrap station that I had never been to "hunt for treasure". I thought about it, I don't have a pair of decent leather shoes. It's just that I don't have a shoe ticket. Ruthless still went to the department store, found a place to sell shoes, and said to the salesperson

"Comrade, are there any leather shoes that don't need votes?" The salesman glanced at Li Na with disdain,

"Mid-range leather shoes, eight yuan with a ticket, twenty-five without a ticket."

Li Na gritted her teeth: "Okay, bring me a pair of flat-soled ones and a pair of black leather shoes with small heels." 37 yards. ”

After speaking, Li Na hurriedly took out 40 yuan. The salesperson's face is better. Billed her.

I tried it cheekily, it was very comfortable, and the yardage was just right, Li Na thought to herself that in modern times, it is estimated to be a few thousand bigger. It's too good, I heard my mother say that leather shoes in the sixties and seventies will not break for more than ten years.

I used denim to find a tailor shop and made two large bags.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Li Na bought a ticket to Beijing. Put on new clothes and new shoes. Got on the bus to Beijing.
