The two chatted for a while, and Yan Laosan got to the point.

"Brother, I'm looking for you today for nothing else, I want to ask you for a favor. He knew it would be difficult to get someone to help him, so his expression was a little cramped.

Xu Xiangyang extinguished the cigarette and said, "Third brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean to ask me for help, if you have something, you can say it, but if the brothers can help, they will definitely help." ”

In fact, he had long thought that Yan Laosan was in trouble, but he had rushed to help others, and he couldn't say no, he couldn't help.

Yan Laosan didn't expect him to say this, even if he said it, people couldn't help him, and he felt comfortable.

"That's right, there are eight people in my family, and there is not enough food to eat every month, and it is not enough to change the coarse grain. I can't buy coarse grains on the black market lately, so I want you to help me bring some back on my next business trip, and the price is about the same. ”

The family has a large population, and sometimes he can't eat, so he tries to eat less every day in the unit.

But how can anyone who does physical work have less to eat? Even if they eat less, there is not enough at home.

When Xu Xiangyang heard this, this is too simple, right?

"Third brother, don't you and your daughter-in-law also work? Why is there not enough food?" He was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that every household has a quota of food, and it is given according to the capitation.

Even if it is not enough to eat, it must be enough to replace fine grains with coarse grains.

But listening to Yan Laosan's meaning, even if they replaced fine grains with coarse grains, they would not have enough to eat.

That's a little wrong, but since it's someone else's business, he doesn't plan to ask more.

Yan Laosan shook his head, with a bitter expression on his face, "Don't mention it, my family was originally from the countryside, isn't this your sister-in-law from the city? Later, my parents also came over and sent my brother's two children as well.

You say that these two adults and two children can feed eight people? So every month we don't have enough to eat, so we have to drink porridge at the end of the month. ”

Xu Xiangyang didn't expect the situation in his family to be so complicated, and at the same time, he felt that Yan Laosan was a little unspeakable.

You say that he was cowardly and bullied by his parents, right? But people can't be unfilial, and they can't always ask his parents to support him, so he is indifferent, right?

There is really no way to talk about other people's affairs, so he can only try to help get coarse grains.

"I can solve the problem of coarse grains, but the amount is not much, how much are you going to buy?" Xu Xiangyang asked, after all, there is too much to take out, and the source is not easy to explain.

Yan Laosan saw that he wanted to help, and hurriedly said: "It's not much, fifty catties is enough, my family is generally short of fifty catties a month." ”

Their family just can't eat at the end of the month, in fact, the rest of the time they eat is dry, mainly because the child grows physical, and he does physical work, and he can't hold on to eating gruel all the time.

Xu Xiangyang nodded, fifty catties is not much, now coarse grains are cheap, cornmeal is about five cents a catty, and the black market is eight cents a catty.

"Okay, at the price of the black market, if you think it's appropriate, go to my place tomorrow and pick it up. ”

As soon as Yan Laosan heard that he could get it, he quickly nodded and agreed, "No problem, thank you brother." ”

Although the price of these eight cents is not low, it is better than not being able to buy it, and yesterday he went to the black market to see, and he couldn't buy bud rice noodles for a dime or a pound.

After saying yes, Xu Xiangyang went back, and the rest time would come after a while, and it would be bad to delay going back late.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Xu Xiangyang walked home, and as soon as he got out of the gate, he saw Liu Feng standing not far away.

This person hasn't said a word since the last time he said hello, he wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, to avoid embarrassment, who knew that this person took the initiative to say hello.

"Xu Xiangyang!" he walked over with a smile on his face, "Are you going back?"

Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, don't you go back to celebrate the New Year here?

He nodded, "yes, you just got off work." ”

Everyone is at the same point in time, unless there is a time to work overtime, but Liu Feng obviously will not work overtime.

Liu Feng saw that he was dressed well, much better than before, "Xu Xiangyang, let's have a class reunion on next week's rest day, let's go together?"

Xu Xiangyang didn't expect this class reunion to be held every year?

He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it again, he would still work in a unit in the future, anyway, just go around in the past, it's nothing.

"Okay, I haven't seen you in a long time, so it's okay to meet you just now. Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded in agreement.

It's just some little kids, and they're in college now. It won't take more than a year to decisively, and they all have to be laid off.

Liu Feng saw that he agreed, so he told the address, and then left.

Xu Xiangyang felt that Liu Feng was looking for himself to talk about this? It was obvious that something was wrong, after all, he hadn't had any contact with him before.

But since he agreed, he won't think about it anymore, and it is estimated that nothing will be calculated on his head.

Liu Feng knows what kind of family conditions he has, and other classmates also know it, so there shouldn't be any calculations.

Two days later, Qian Wenqing came back from a business trip, during which Xu Xiangyang also gave food to Yan Laosan.

There is nothing to say about two people trading fairly.

The first thing Qian Wenqing did when he came back was to find Xu Xiangyang, "Brother Xu, I have a deal and want to work together?"

He looked a little excited, it stands to reason that he must have been very tired when he came back from a business trip, and he should go back to rest.

But this man obviously had no intention of resting, but was in good spirits.

Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, this person shouldn't be able to fight chicken blood, right?

"What's the matter? what cooperation?" he asked, confused.

Qian Wenqing looked mysterious, looked left and right at no one, and said: "I came across a batch of grain outside, rich and strong powder! A total of 10,000 catties, and people sell them at 2,000 catties, and they will cost two cents and a half!"

Xu Xiangyang almost broke out, "Liar!"

But I felt that this person was very excited, and I was embarrassed to pour cold water on him.

"Brother, you said that this rich and strong powder is three cents in the grocery store, and it can be bought for eight cents on the black market, are you sure this person is not a liar?" he asked very tactfully.

After all, these two thousand catties are not a small amount, but five hundred yuan! According to Qian Wenqing's income, he will save for the next year without eating or drinking!

What's more, this is simply impossible, and it is a lie to hear it.

Qian Wenqing didn't realize this problem, he swore and said: "I've seen it, good guy, each bag is full of white flour, which is much whiter than the white flour served in our non-staple food store." ”

Xu Xiangyang didn't know what to say for a while, but he wouldn't believe it, how could there be such a good thing in the world? People can go crazy to wholesale five cents on the black market, and wholesale give them two cents and five cents?

He thinks so, unless this man's brain is wat, there is a big hole.
