Chapter 13 Sleepy Someone Sends Pillows
When she arrived in the town, Xu Wenli took out five or six apples and a few oranges from the space and put them in a net pocket, and pushed the brand-new 28 bars directly to the family building of the machine tool factory.
The name of Du Meijuan in the newspaper was really good, not only did she enter the hospital smoothly, but someone wanted to lead her to find someone.
"Sister, you're here, Li Er, you go and call Pan's daughter-in-law and let her come down!"
"Sister-in-law, this fruit is for the children at home."
With the conditions of Du Meijuan's family, it is not difficult to eat fruits and pastries, and it is the first time she has seen such a big and red apple as Xu Wenli!
"Sister has a heart, I'll give you some sugar in a while, and go home to give the child a sweet mouth!"
The family building is on the second floor, and Pan's daughter-in-law quickly came down and circled the bicycle five or six times.
"If you don't feel comfortable pushing the cart to show your man, or riding two laps in the yard yourself, just don't turn me dizzy!" Du Meijuan stopped Pan's daughter-in-law.
"This can't be refurbished, is it?"
"If my sister-in-law doesn't like me, I'll push the bike back in a while, I'll take care of my in-laws with the children alone, even if I want to refurbish the bike, I have to have a helper with that ability, you say yes!"
Du Meijuan glanced at Pan's daughter-in-law: "How many times have I ridden out of that bicycle, do you see that something is wrong, my sister-in-law's man is a soldier, how can they deceive people!" ”
"Your family is really a soldier, huh?" Pan's daughter-in-law asked.
Xu Wenli nodded: "My man has not heard from me since he sent his bicycle back to the army two years ago, my father-in-law said that he is the kind of soldier who performs special tasks, and he has not been in contact with his family for so long, maybe he has ......"
"Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was the case in your house." Pan's daughter-in-law kept apologizing.
"Do you want to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, I'll ask Engineer Zhao's daughter-in-law, she has asked several times!"
Pan's daughter-in-law took out a handkerchief from her arms and opened it with a ticket of ten yuan each, as well as ten catties of fine grain stamps and ten catties of oil stamps.
"Sister, you take all of this, come to my house and sit down!" Du Meijuan stuffed all the things in the handkerchief into Xu Wenli's hand.
After entering the house, Du Meijuan began to rummage through the cabinets and took out a big bag to contain all kinds of things.
Unexpectedly, Du Meijuan's sympathy was aroused: "Sister-in-law, I can't do these things, with the money from selling bicycles, it's enough for the family to turn over for a while, it's almost noon, I'll go first!" ”
"Most of these are what we don't need now, and then there's a little bit of food, if you don't take it, you'll treat your sister-in-law as an outsider, I'm angry!"
This is a trouble, Xu Wenli thought that the bicycle had been sold, and she would try to come around the machine tool factory as little as possible in the future, Du Meijuan was too enthusiastic, and she couldn't resist it.
"Sister-in-law, if you take something again, I'm really leaving!" Xu Wenli opened her pocket and took out a flashlight, a bag of candy, and other things on the bed.
The flashlight in her space is from the modern era, and the style of the flashlight is different from that of the seventies, and she is thinking about where to find another one these days!
It's really sleepy, someone sent a pillow!
"Don't be polite to your sister-in-law, if you're really embarrassed, can you tell me something?"
Xu Wenli asked her what was wrong.
"Where did you buy the apples you brought with you? Can you do more? The price is negotiable, and fresh vegetables are fine, and I am now in the factory union and am in charge of this stall. ”
"How much is a pound of greens?" Xu Wenli didn't know much about the prices at that time.
"In the peak season in summer, a pound of vegetables is about four cents, and at this time there is a shortage of vegetables, and a pound can be given a dime, and apples and oranges like the ones you take are worth a dime and a half cents."
At that time, prices were really low!
It is not very cost-effective to sell green vegetables, and in the winter of the 70s, there are basically no fresh greens in the north except for potatoes and cabbage, and it is too eye-catching to resell greens.
You can consider selling some fruit to her, and send it once every ten days and half a month.
"Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I have a relative who delivers goods to state-run stores in the city, and occasionally delivers fruits or something, and I have seen apples, oranges, pears and grapes."
"Can you give me a hundred and eighty pounds a month? Grapes and pears can be given a dime and six pounds, if the four fruits are in good condition, how about one dime and six pounds? ”
"Well, I'll go back and ask now, my relative passed by our town yesterday and stayed in a guest house, I hope he hasn't left yet."
Du Meijuan wanted to follow, but Xu Wenli refused, she promised that if her relatives didn't leave, she would bring some fruit samples over later, and the price would be enough to negotiate with one and a half cents, because people would send it to the city for one dime and six pounds.
"Then add two more points, this price is guaranteed to be the highest on our side."
Xu Wenli promised to help ask, no matter whether this matter was done or not, she would come over and tell her in an hour.
Du Meijuan asked her to take those pockets, but Xu Wenli refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient to go to the guest house to find someone to bring so many things.
She took the money to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a hot water kettle, and spent three yuan and a half, and bought two pencils, two notebooks, as well as a pencil sharpener and an eraser for the child, and she had to teach them to read and write next year, and these things cost less than five cents in total.
I pulled two feet of cloth and bought two enamel basins and some plates.
I bought some buttons and elastic bands, which are products of the seventies and eighties, which are rarely seen in modern times.
I went around the black market and asked the old man who looked at the wind if he knew who sold the sewing machine, just the old one.
Or rent it for two days.
"I have a sewing machine at home, my wife is dazzled and can't wear needlework anymore, I'll go back and discuss with her, can you come and see it tomorrow?"
"Not tomorrow, the two children in the family are taken care of by others, I can't run out every day, after ten days, on the ninth of next month, I will come to you at noon?"
After chatting with the old man for a few words, Xu Wenli returned to the vicinity of the machine tool factory, took out a simple cart for transporting things from the space, and loaded two large boxes of fruits.
Far away, Xu Wenli saw Du Meijuan looking around at the gate of the factory.
"My sister's ability is really great, let's go and say that we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, do you still want tickets?"
"Pay for it!" There is a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil in the space, and it is enough to have a ticket in your hand as a reason, and those things are useless to Xu Wenli.
One hundred and twelve catties of fruit were sold for twenty yuan and one cent, Du Meijuan fell in love with her cart again, and Xu Wenli asked for twenty yuan.
"Sister, you can help get some fruit next month, it's better to get more during the New Year, sister-in-law leave some gifts, what do you lack to tell your sister-in-law, I will also think of helping you get it."
"If I could, I would like to buy some milk powder, some ready-made cotton clothes and cotton shoes, preferably for four or five year olds."
For Du Meijuan, it was not a difficult thing to do, and she agreed.
