Chapter 36: The First Pot of Gold
The osmanthus production brigade is boiling.
Ning Weihua, the laziest man in the team, actually bought a bicycle, and he was the third man in the team to own a bicycle in addition to the captain and Ning Weijia.
It's so enviable.
Ning Weihua swaggered around the team on his new bicycle, stopping from time to time to chat with people, and after a while, the news of his buying a bicycle spread all over the world.
An old man asked, "Wei Hua, your bicycle looks quite expensive, right?" ”
Ning Weihua said proudly: "No, it cost a full 180 yuan." ”
Everyone around them gasped.
The old man said again: "Wei Hua, where did you get the bicycle ticket?" ”
"My daughter-in-law's, you also know that she is from the city, and she saved it before, and now it is just for me to use."
Ning Weihua's face was not red and he was not panting, and he lied as if it were true.
Another old lady said: "Wei Hua, I heard that you have a total of 200 yuan in the family, why did you spend it, you don't even have a house, and you don't save the money to make a house." ”
Ning Weihua said indifferently: "I'll talk about it later." ”
When the others saw him like this, they couldn't say anything more.
Grandma Ning, who was working in the field, heard about her fourth son's purchase of a bicycle, so she immediately asked the captain for leave, ran over, and pointed at Ning Weihua and counted down.
"Loser, don't work at home every day, how long will the family be separated, you will give the money to Huo Huo almost, and your family will not be able to live in the future."
Ning Weihua pushed the bicycle, "Mom, Fubao and Shulan like to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy delicious food, and with bicycles, it will be convenient for me to go to the commune in the future." ”
"You bought a bicycle just to take your daughter-in-law and daughter to the commune to buy delicious food?" Grandma Ning clutched her chest, so angry that she couldn't speak.
"But no, Mom, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
After speaking, Ning Weihua rode his bicycle and ran away.
Leaving Grandma Ning to stare dryly.
The people working in the fields were discussing this matter, and Zhang Yinghong and Li Hongmei felt that there was something wrong in their hearts.
The fourth child who is the least successful actually bought a bicycle.
The fourth daughter-in-law looked stupid, her mouth was still very tight, she had lived together for so many years, and she didn't know that she had a bicycle ticket hidden in her hand, and if she knew, she could borrow it.
Then they shook their heads again, the bicycle looked good, but it was useless to them, thinking that the fourth child had spent almost all the money in the family, they felt a lot more comfortable in their hearts.
Thinking again, when the fourth child has no money in his hand, don't come back to ask them to borrow, they will definitely not borrow.
……
When Ning Weihua returned home, he first plugged in the deadbolt of the door.
Fu Bao's ears were sharp, and when he heard the sound of movement in the yard, he immediately rushed out like a small cannonball, and jumped on her father's lap excitedly.
"Dad, you're back!"
The little girl was so enthusiastic, Ning Weihua was a little flattered, picked her up, and walked towards the house.
"Dad has only been away for a while, why are you so clingy kid." Saying this, the corners of Ning Weihua's mouth couldn't help but rise.
Fu Bao's short arms hugged Ning Weihua's neck, his little head lay on his shoulder, and whispered, "I'm afraid that something will happen to Dad." ”
Ning Weihua said with a smile: "What can happen to Dad, your dad is amazing." ”
Lin Shulan had already made her and Fubao's clothes, and was now making Ning Weihua's clothes, when she saw the father and daughter come in.
She held up the half-finished clothes she was sewing in her hand and said happily, "Dad, look, I'm making clothes for you." ”
Ning Weihua was stunned.
Looking at the garment again, he did not know needlework, and he also knew that the workmanship was excellent, and the stitches were dense, smooth and smooth, like a sewing machine stepped on.
Ning Weihua gave a thumbs up and praised: "Okay, I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to be so powerful!" ”
Sitting on the kang, he picked up the finished clothes again and looked at them, "This is not worse than the clothes sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county." ”
Hearing the praise of her own man, Lin Shulan became even more proud.
I told him about my grandmother's house again.
Ning Weihua was a little surprised: "It turns out that my daughter-in-law is still an ancestral craft, why haven't you done it before?" ”
Lin Shulan glanced at him.
"It used to be good to be full, where to get good fabrics to make clothes, where to have leisure to do embroidery."
Ning Weihua touched Fubao's head and said proudly: "We are all stained with my daughter's light." ”
Lin Shulan got down to business, "Her dad, have you sold out of everything?" ”
"Sold out." Ning Weihua took out a handful of money and tickets and handed them to his daughter-in-law.
"So much!" Lin Shulan counted it, there were dozens of yuan, not to mention those food stamps and meat stamps.
Fu Bao smiled happily.
This is the first pot of gold her family earned!
Lin Shulan hid the money and tickets in the jar of malt milk essence and said with a smile: "Her father, let's go to the county together on a cloudy day and go to the state-run restaurant to eat braised pork." ”
"Okay." Ning Weihua nodded happily.
Money is earned to be spent, why not spend to earn money?
In the evening, a family of three ate meat buns and porridge made by Lin Shulan in the morning.
Ning Weihua ate with relish.
The home-made meat buns are so delicious, he doesn't get tired of eating five big meat buns in a row.
Both of them are picky mouths, and the instant meat buns and dumplings exchanged by Fubao are not delicious, so Lin Shulan doesn't let Fubao redeem these, and most of them exchange meat for themselves.
Lin Shulan asked, "Her father, do you still go to the black market on a cloudy day?" ”
Ning Weihua said no.
Then he told her what happened in the black market.
Fu Bao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he felt a little guilty, "Dad, it's all my fault for being smart and causing trouble for you." ”
Ning Weihua gnawed on the meat bun and said, "What are you thinking, thanks to you for making me disguise, otherwise it will be difficult to meet those people in the future." ”
"That group of people is not a good thing at first glance, I don't know how many people have suffered a secret loss in their hands, it's okay not to go, I found that it is better to sell things outside the hospital, who is reluctant to buy good things for patients!"
looked at the girl again, "Fubao, you can exchange more fine grains and oil in the future, everyone is short of them these days, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them." ”
Fu Bao nodded.
After dinner, Ning Weihua went to the kang to rest.
Looking at his sleeping father, Fu Bao pulled the thin quilt next to him and covered him.
Then I went to the hall and watched my mother make clothes.
Feeling that the kerosene lamp hurt his eyes, Fu Bao took out the electric shock stick he bought and used it as a flashlight.
"Mom, why don't you go to bed first, and you can do it again on a cloudy day!"
Lin Shulan yawned.
"No, on a cloudy day, our family of three has to put on new clothes and go to the county, Jiang Rou went to the county's state-run restaurant once to eat braised pork, and came back to talk to me for a long time, this time we will go too, come back and kill her to death."
When it came to braised pork, Lin Shulan and Fu Bao swallowed their saliva in anger.
Lin Shulan is also more motivated.
As the minutes passed, Fu Bao lay on the table, so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
Lin Shulan was almost ready, and when she saw her daughter dozing off, she couldn't help but say: "Fubao, you go to sleep first, children can't sleep well, they don't grow tall." ”
When Fu Bao heard this, he was really startled and immediately ran to sleep.
