Chapter 10 Selling Bicycles
Seeing that Mu Yuanshan didn't speak, Xu Wenli had the confidence to say: "If you have evidence, go and report the case, it just so happens that I am going too, maybe we can meet at the police station!" ”
"Eldest daughter-in-law, it's a family, do you have to send Jianguo in?"
"I don't have a second uncle like him!" When his father came back, he would tell him what his second uncle and grandmother had done, Mu Zhuangzhuang looked at his grandfather and was both angry and disappointed.
He ...... He didn't want to sell the two of you, he wanted to take you to the town to play, and he would forget you two in the firewood shed after drinking too much. ”
Xu Wenli and Mu Zhuangzhuang leaned against the door frame with their arms crossed, and looked at him with disdain, you go on!
"There is no news about Jianjun, if something happens to Jianguo again, I won't be able to live!" Mu Yuanshan held his head in both hands.
It looks helpless and pitiful.
"Don't act in front of me, since you are biased towards your son with a clear conscience, don't come to my house from now on, as long as Mu Jianguo is not dead, just wait for the police station to come to him!"
The door opened from the inside, and a small head poked out: "Grandpa is eccentric, my brother and I don't recognize you!" ”
"What do you have to do to let go of the founding of the country!"
Xu Wenli thought again and again: "Unless I compensate the two children with a hundred yuan, I won't mention this matter, and besides, your family is not allowed to come to my door again from now on!" ”
The money sent back by Mu Jianjun was all picked up by his father-in-law, and Xu Wenli wanted to deceive him to see if he had any private money.
The child was not sold, Jia San bit it to death and did not admit his guilt, Mu Jianguo hurt his brain again and couldn't remember what happened that night, Xu Wenli knew in her heart that there was no point in pursuing this matter.
It's better to knock a sum of money first and find an opportunity to take revenge.
He only had more than 100 yuan in his hand, and he was thinking of scraping together some more money to take his youngest son to the city to see a doctor, Mu Yuanshan asked Xu Wenli if he could have less.
"No point less!"
In order to keep his son, Mu Yuanshan gritted his teeth and took out a hundred yuan, and asked Xu Wenli to make a note, and this matter could not be mentioned to Jianjun in the future.
"I promise not to." Xu Wenli glanced at her son, and Mu Zhuangzhuang pulled the corners of his mouth and turned his head to the side.
Xu Wenli now has more than 300 yuan in her hand, and she wants to exchange some tickets, and it is better to sell two more bicycles.
The idea is to change the sewing machine and radio to put in the space.
Everything else is easy to say, how will she go to the town to settle the children?
She has been bitten by a snake for ten years and is afraid of the well rope, and she no longer dares to be careless.
"Good son, baby girl, Mom wants to discuss things with the two of you!"
"You want to go out again!" Mu Zhuangzhuang's tone was extremely affirmative.
"Isn't it almost winter, Mom wants to go to the town to find a way and get some cotton tickets."
"My brother and I are going too!"
That's not good, Xu Wenli still wants to sell bicycles, and it's not difficult for her to run alone when she meets a picket in the black market, and if she takes two children, the three of them are not allowed to go to prison together!
"The supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell the things that Mom wants to buy, so I have to find someone to buy them privately, and I can't take you there."
Mu Qiaoqiao hugged Xu Wenli's thigh: "Mom, don't you want me and my brother?" ”
Xu Wenli bent down and picked up her daughter: "You two are mother's sweethearts, and your mother will take you to live a good life and send you two to study, how can I not want you!" ”
"You send us to Lao Qi's house." Mu Zhuangzhuang pulled away his sister, they were too young to follow, and they would only drag their feet.
With ten eggs in a small basin and a large piece of cornmeal cake, Xu Wenli sent the two children to Qi's house and asked Shi Guihua to help take them for a long time.
It just so happens that they also have a little grandson at home, who is about the same age as the two children, and several children can play together.
"You...... Come back early! Mu Zhuangzhuang glanced at Xu Wenli deeply, and rarely did not scold her.
Out of the village, Xu Wenli got on a bicycle, and at that time the dirt road was full of potholes, and Xu Wenli's ass was unconscious near the black market.
Dressed up in disguise, Xu Wenli entered the black market with some flour and rice on her back.
After observing for a while, his eyes were fixed on a woman who was very rich and had big wavy hair.
"Sister, do you want white flour rice?"
"I have white flour rice at home, but the rice is indica rice in the south, I am not used to eating it, if you have good rice, follow me, I will buy some to make a meal first, if it is delicious, I want fifty catties!"
"Okay, but I want cotton tickets or cloth tickets, no money." Let's talk about it first.
The woman nodded, took Xu Wenli out of the black market, and entered the family building of the machine tool factory, which is larger than the aluminum factory, and the woman's family lives on the second floor.
While she was cooking, Xu Wenli looked at the layout of the house, the tables and chairs were at least eighty percent new, there were two bedrooms and one living room, and there was a radio on the table outside.
"Where's the girl?"
"My family also lives in the town, and my man is a soldier."
Listening to Xu Wenli say that her man was a soldier, the woman was more enthusiastic about her, and said that she could come and go often in the future, her man had just been transferred from the city and worked as a workshop director in a machine tool factory.
"My sister-in-law is not an ordinary worker's family at first glance, and she is knowledgeable and reasonable." Xu Wenli patted her ass a little.
"I also felt very kind when I saw my sister at first sight, and then you told the gatekeeper to find Lin Bin's daughter-in-law Du Meijuan, and they will definitely let her go."
After chatting for a while, Xu Wenli sighed.
"Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, my man hasn't come back for more than a year, and the family is almost out of the pot, last time he came back with two bicycles, I want to sell them for some money, can you help me ask the workers in the factory, do you want bicycles?"
"New or old?"
"The new 28 big bars, Phoenix brand, I have been covering it with plastic sheeting to ensure that I haven't bumped it, my mother-in-law is seriously ill, I want to sell the car and take her to the hospital."
It was not easy to buy a bicycle in '72, and you had to have a ticket for more than 160 yuan a piece.
"How much is it, if it's really a new sister-in-law to buy one."
"I have a fate with my sister-in-law, so I will sell it to you at the price of one hundred and sixty one, and give me fifty catties of fine grain stamps or ten catties of cotton stamps?
Another car you find a buyer will also sell it to you at this price, I still want to ask my sister-in-law, do you know who sells old radios and old sewing machines in our family yard? ”
The two chatted and chatted about the rice cooked, the woman tasted two bites and was very satisfied, Xu Wenli gave her twenty catties first and exchanged for some fuel tickets.
They made an appointment at the door at two o'clock in the afternoon to hand over bicycles and 50 catties of rice, as well as money and tickets in the other.
Walking out of the family building, Xu Wenli casually found a place to eat bread and drink some milk, and took some apples and oranges to the aluminum factory to change some old clothes.
Old clothes are thrown into the space, and tomorrow she and her daughter will have new clothes to wear.
I took out a watch from the space, looked at it a little later, and pushed the bicycle and rice back to the family building of the machine tool factory.
"Hey, girl, you're here, come in with me!"
Xu Wenli wanted to pay the money outside and deliver the goods with one hand, but she couldn't resist Du Meijuan's enthusiasm, and followed her to the second floor.
A bicycle plus 50 catties of rice is 170 yuan, and it is exchanged for 50 feet of cloth stamps, 50 catties of fine grain stamps, 10 catties of oil stamps, 5 catties of non-staple food stamps and 10 catties of cotton, 100 yuan.
"Girl, do you still need a radio? Although my family is a little old, it can still be used, I'll give you thirty yuan! ”
Xu Wenli checked the radio on the table, and it could indeed be turned on, but there was a noise of "bang-la-la-la".
