Chapter 7: The Arrogance of a Dollar

"Xiaojuan, you are obedient at home, wait for Dad to come back and bring you something delicious. ”

Early the next morning, Li Dong's fart was upside down, and he felt that the air was much fresher without going to work, and he thought that he could make a small fortune casually with his decades of knowledge, and buy some candy or something to have more face in front of Xiaojuan.

Thinking about it, if you can get some meat back today to satisfy your hunger, Li Dong is in a better mood, and here he explains that Xiaojuan is obediently watching the house at home, and she is out of the door.

Han Weijun at the entrance of the village was already waiting, and Li Dong was a little confused when he saw that only Han Weijun had anything else. "Brother Weijun, let's just go over like this?" "No, it's more than ten miles, there are no tools, can it be on foot, just kidding."

"What's wrong?"

Han Weijun looked puzzled, what's wrong, don't make trouble with this kid again. "Come early, come back to work early, and let's go. ”

This will Li Dong is estimated to be in his early five years, and the weather is still a little cold, but it is not a joke for more than ten miles, and it is not easy to come out after going to work. "Brother Weijun, we don't have a bicycle or anything in the team, can't we ride faster?"

"We're not a brigade, where did we get the bicycles, and what kind of bicycles do we need so close to the commune. ”

Han Weijun felt that Li Dong was just lazy, and he would arrive in the blink of an eye for more than ten miles, what kind of bicycle do you want, take advantage of this cool to finish your errands quickly, and come back without delaying work.

Before he came, Han Fu had already explained, and he had to keep an eye on Li Dong, and he must not let him run, he owed a lot of rations to the team, and he ran away, but what is the matter, the rations will be returned.

"Isn't our production team a brigade?"

"Our production team is only about 100 people, what kind of team is it. ”

Han Weijun said as he walked, and he didn't forget to urge Li Dong, his feet were so fast, Li Dong was at least half a head taller than Han Weijun, and his legs were also a little longer, but he couldn't keep up and almost trotted. No wonder it is said that in the past, people could run back and forth a day when they went to the city for dozens of miles to sell things, but Li Dong now believes it, and this speed has caught up with the trot.

Li Dong muttered to the team more than 100 mouths while speeding up his pace, he didn't lie to himself, he always felt that there were more than these people. "Then why don't you see the rest of the production team?"

Isn't the general brigade working together, according to Li Dong's shallow understanding, the general brigade has at least three or four production teams.

"The brigade was merged into the Commune. ”

Han Weijun said, there is still a little story here, Chicheng County is generally a mountainous area, and the Han family production team belongs to the mountainous area, and the original production team managed three or five Zhuangzi, but these Zhuangzi are too far away, and the farthest ones are more than ten miles.

You said that when the brigade held a meeting, the shouting could not be heard for a long time, so the brigade was simply merged into the commune, and a deputy secretary of the commune supervised these production teams.

No wonder, there are no bicycles, generally the brigade has a bicycle, and the better ones even have their own consignment stores, tractors, and processing plants.

The production team is one level lower than the brigade, and there is generally a political instructor, and the Hanzhuang production team is not so particular, with a team leader, a female team leader below, and then an accountant, as well as a warehouse and a clerk.

Li Dong had nothing to say all the way to chat, and finally found out the situation of the Hanzhuang production team, the production team is now at home, ten buffaloes, and a small pig farm, but there are only five or six pigs, not to mention that the poor are not rich. There are ox carts, but Li Dong has not had this treatment, and usually women in the village will use ox carts for such major events as giving birth to babies, and as for tractors, the production team does not have them at all.

There are not many tractor production teams in the entire Lishan Commune, not to mention that the Hanzhuang production team is at the foot of the mountain, the plot is not big, the height is uneven, and the tractor is not used.

More than ten miles, Li Dong was tired and panting, but Han Weijun didn't feel tired at all, when the sun just rose in the commune, more than ten miles Li Dong felt that he ran over, wiped a handful of sweat, not to mention the panic of hunger, I don't know what's going on, after coming here, it's very easy to get hungry, eat a lot, but I'm hungry fast, I knew to get up early and bake a sweet potato mat.

Han Weijun was going to do something, Li Dong had to follow what Han Weiguo said along the way, which scared Li Dong, what young general would arrest when he didn't know him, and he would rob people at the intersection without blinking!

was so scared that Li Dong really didn't dare to run around, and when he saw Han Weijun going in to do something, Li Dong wanted to get something to eat, but when he touched his pocket, well, he didn't get a penny in his pocket. The most important thing is that there are no state-run restaurants in Satoyama Commune, and there is no place to buy food for the steamed bun shops.

"No doors?"

The commune is a tiled house with black socks and gray bricks, some slogans on both sides to learn to carry, and long live the chairman and the like, there is nothing at the door, Li Dong muttered. There were a lot of notices posted on the outer wall of the courtyard, and Li Dong glanced at the report of Chairman Hua.

Han Weijun went to run errands, Li Dong was waiting outside, the problem Han Weijun also found a door Uncle Wei stared at him, Li Dong was speechless, his pockets were empty and he was worried that he would not be able to escape, how could there be no trust between this person and people.

Li Dong was a little sad, but it didn't prevent him from getting close to the old man, so he knew that the office of Lishan Commune was not big, and the management place was not small, and the farthest production team was more than 30 miles away in the old mountain nest, and there were four or five thousand people in the entire commune.

Li Dong also inquired that Lishan Commune had a tractor to go to the city on weekends, but it was not easy to go to the county seat because of the money for the car and a letter of introduction. Li Dong doesn't know, who will take the car in the city these years, if you have that money, it is better to buy two pieces of rice candy for the child to satisfy their hunger, or buy catties of soy sauce and vinegar, but thirty or forty miles, and it will be there in the blink of an eye.

Li Dong listened to what the uncle said, and he could reach it in the blink of an eye in thirty or forty miles, and secretly rolled his eyes, you are all scuds, awesome, and you can't compare to you.

"Uncle, you're busy. ”

Seeing Han Weijun come out after finishing his errands, Li Dong hurriedly greeted him.

Han Weijun nodded at Li Dong and was about to take Li Dong to buy stamps and write letters to relatives in the city, taking telegrams and joking, how expensive, stamps are only a few cents, plus envelopes, the stationery is only a dime and a half.

After buying stamps, envelopes and stationery, Li Dong glanced at the supply and marketing cooperatives not far away.

"Brother Wei Jun, it's convenient for you here, I want to borrow a dollar. ”

"A dollar?"

"Brother Wei Jun, I didn't come to the commune to buy some things to bring back, but I forgot to bring money when I came out. ”

There is no money, Li Dong is hard, these days are lived, and the poor should be resounding.

Han Weijun hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and took out a piece of money and handed it to Li Dong, a dollar is not a small amount of money, usually Han Weijun has more than one dollar in his pocket at most.

"Save some flowers. ”

"Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I get back. ”

Li Dong ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative, and just after inquiring clearly, the location of the commune supply and marketing cooperative, Han Weijun's face changed when he saw the direction Li Dong was going, and he patted his thigh and regretted it. I forgot what I said, Li Dong is delicious, don't spend it.

Han Weijun hurriedly followed, Li Dong walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, and looked at the counter full of things, the good guy has everything, food, use, wear, tools, it's really rich.

"What do you buy, comrade?"

"I'll see, I'll see. ”

Li Dong is more than eight meters old, and the long Zhou Zheng is wearing a T-shirt and shorts after forty years, this dress looks quite high-end, and the salesmen are polite.

Supply and marketing cooperatives salesman, that's a good job, iron rice bowl, see the third class of high school, who has a relative of the supply and marketing cooperative, that is absolutely leveraged in the countryside, usually who does not look high, after all, marriage, do big things need something or something, to use people.

At that time, the materials were not abundant, and many things had to be booked in advance, and the basins and hot kettles used by the newlyweds had to be agreed in advance, or they would be out of stock at that time, and they would not all use salesmen, all salesmen in the commune were hot occupations.

Of course, the salesman in the department store is even better, and even the secretary of the commune and even the county leader don't give face.

"It's so cheap. ”

Li Dong looked around and asked, rice will be one pound and one dime and five cents and six cents, Fuqiang flour is one cent and eight cents and two cents of flour, soy sauce is one cent and two cents, and eggs are seven cents and one pound .......

One dollar is simply too arrogant, Li Dong was about to buy some, and Han Weijun ran in.

"Brother Weijun, who are you?"

Han Weijun saw that Li Dong was holding a piece of money in his hand, and forgot to say anything for a while. "Ah, do you want a ticket? ”

"What am I going to do with the ticket? ”

Li Dong muttered, a pair of stockings costs five yuan, a shirt costs six or seven yuan, and the pants can't afford to buy any cloth tickets, but compared to food, the fabric is really not cheap, and the cheapest plain weave cloth is two or three cents and a foot, according to Li Dong's height, it must be at least six or seven feet to make a dress, at least more than one piece is enough.

Li Dong simply didn't go to see these clothes and shoes are too expensive, labor protection shoes have to be three or five yuan to buy, mainly staring at food, now the food is not to mention anything else, it is really healthy and tastes good, hey, I haven't seen anyone selling meat for a long time. "Brother Wei Jun, I don't need a cloth ticket, meat ticket, is there one?"

"Nope. ”

Han Weijun said in his heart, sure enough, this kid is greedy and wants to buy meat beautifully. Besides, there is no state-run butcher shop in the commune, so you have to go to the county town to buy it, Han Weijun said in his heart that he doesn't have many meat tickets at home, you have the ability to get it yourself.

Li Dong muttered, I don't even have meat, forget it, buy some. "Hey, there's still chicken for sale?"

I bought a bottle of canned food, a chicken, plus a small bag of rice candy and left two cents for the ticket money, satisfied, Li Dong ate while walking, there was no cutting corners in this era, the rice candy was fragrant and sweet. "Brother Wei Jun, you taste it, it's so fragrant. ”

Han Weijun's face was pale, this is a dollar, you can buy seven or eight catties of salt, and the salt money for half a year is enough for a family, so it will be spent, look at what you bought, canned food, rice candy, isn't this a crime.

Why are you so stupid, you can explain yourself when you leave, why did you borrow money. Han Weijun regretted it all the way, his intestines were all green, eat, eat a fart, Han Weijun didn't give Li Dong a good face all the way.

Li Dong saw that Han Weijun ignored him and ate happily by himself, and when he returned home, Le Zizi handed the little chicken to Xiaojuan, but Xiaojuan was very happy, but when Li Dong took out the canned food and rice candy behind him.

I thought Xiaojuan would be happier, who knew that when she saw the canned food and rice candy, Xiaojuan cried with a wow, come out, it's terrible, canned food, rice candy, where did the money come from, what should I do, what bad things did my new father do.

Han Weijun will really think about how to tell Han Fu that he borrowed it, he shouldn't lend money to Li Dong, now it's okay, what about going back.

Li Dong is still happy when Xiaojuan is here, the child is really not easy to cry happily after not eating rice candy for a long time!

"Good, don't cry, dad has the money to buy White Rabbit toffee for you to eat, don't mention the taste, it's soft, sweet with fresh milk, don't mention how delicious. Li Dong said this, Han Xiaojuan cried louder How much does it cost to eat milk candy, at least five points, it's over, there is nothing to do, Xiaojuan feels that she is too pitiful to catch up with such a delicious and lazy new father, the children in the team laughed at themselves that they were not afraid, they were afraid that they would be hungry without rations, and Xiaojuan was even more sad when they thought of being hungry without rations.

Li Dong saw Xiaojuan crying louder with joy, he has to work hard, yes, but yesterday he didn't cut the grass and the sun, and the screen time only went one point, and now it's more than ninety-six o'clock and there will be more sunshine today, maybe something will appear!
