Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 31 Industrial Voucher

"I knew Mom, you are a sensible person!" Duan Yun immediately gave Gao Xiuzhi a thumbs up when he heard the words.

"I'll get you something." The mother stood up at this time, walked to her bed, and pulled out the suitcase from below.

"Mom, I have money, so I don't need to spend our family's savings." Duan Yun said quickly upon seeing this.

In fact, Duan Yun told his mother today about buying a car. He just wanted to say hello to her, and by the way, he gave his mother and sister some money to improve their lives. He didn't expect his mother to give him the money to buy a car.

Gao Xiuzhi ignored Duan Yun, opened the box, and took out the household registration book from under the clothes.

"If you are rich, your mother won't let you out. Anyway, it's saved for your brother and sister." Gao Xiuzhi said, opened the account book in her hand, and took out a stack of tickets sandwiched in the middle.

"This is……"

"Didn't you buy a bicycle? These are the industrial coupons saved at home, which should be enough for you." Mother said, handing the stack of coupons to Duan Yun.

"So many?" Duan Yun was stunned for a moment after glancing at the ticket handed over by his mother.

Industrial coupons are very precious in the era when tickets are required to buy large items.

All parts of the country are basically paid according to the salary amount, but the situation varies from place to place.

In some places, a salary of 20 yuan is given to an industrial voucher, in some places it is 40 yuan, and here in Daxing, a worker with a salary of [-] yuan is given a ticket.

Gao Xiuzhi's monthly salary in the sewing company was more than 20 yuan, which was only 0.5 pieces a month, and the amount handed over to Duan Yun was more than 30 pieces, which obviously had been saved for many years.

This made Duan Yun's heart warm, and at the same time, he also secretly admired his mother.

Although my mother is conservative, and her daily life is so frugal that it is incomprehensible, she can really take out things to do big things for the family at critical times!

"Take it with you when you enter the city. If you don't have enough time, you have to run back and forth. Just take the rest home." Mother said to Duan Yunan.

"Mom, I may still need to buy a watch. I go to work every day and go to someone's home to repair electrical appliances. I really can't do it without a point." Duan Yun said again.

"We have a watch at home..."

"Ok?"

"That's the most valuable thing your dad left behind." Gao Xiuzhi sighed, and then put her hand into the suitcase again.

After a while, Gao Xiuzhi placed a watch wrapped in a handkerchief in front of Duan Yun.

"This..." Duan Yun picked up the watch and looked at it carefully.

This watch is not badly maintained. It is a serious Shanghai mechanical watch. The cover is slightly yellow and aged, but the pointer dial inside is still clearly visible, and it has some weight in the hand.

"This watch has been in the box for more than ten years and has not been touched." Gao Xiuzhi looked at Duan Yun and said lightly, "Let's see if it can still be used, but I really can't go to the city to have it repaired."

"Mom, this is the only thing Dad left, you should keep it yourself..." Duan Yun couldn't bear to take the only thing his father left to his mother back then.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you are Mom's son, and you are happy to wear it." Gao Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at Duan Yun and said, "The food is getting cold after all, so hurry up and eat."

"Yeah." Duan Yun responded, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and desperately pulled a mouthful of rice into his mouth...

……

On Sunday morning, Duan Yun got up early, washed and had breakfast, took the money and the industrial coupons his mother gave him, and took the bus to Hongqi Square outside the west gate.

On the second floor of the department store, Duan Yun saw Li Caitou in a military coat lounging around in the crowd.

"Crack!" Duan Yun patted Li Caitou's shoulder, and the guy shivered for a while.

"It's you." Li Caitou turned his head to look and recognized Duan Yun immediately. After all, there are not many people who can wrap his electronic components in one round this year.

"Speak outside." Duan Yun winked at Li Caitou, and the two immediately walked into the sales hall.

At a deserted corner outside the building, Li Caitou took out a cigarette and handed it to Duan Yun. He smiled and said, "Brother, did you run out of things last time?"

"No..." As Duan Yun spoke, he took out a written list from his pocket and said to Li Caitou, "This is what I want to buy."

The list was written by Duan Yun yesterday, including some components for repairing electrical appliances, as well as raw materials for making antenna amplification circuits.

"...Single-sided or double-sided copper-clad circuit substrates, ferric chloride?" After Li Caitou looked at Duan Yun's list, he frowned and said, "Brother, we have copper-clad circuit substrates in our factory. But this ferric chloride, you have to go to the chemical store to buy it." Li Caitou said with an embarrassed expression.

"Okay, I'll buy this myself, and you can give me an estimate for the rest." Duan Yun said to Li Caitou after taking a breath.

"You are also a regular customer, and I will earn less. These items cost 30 yuan each!" Li Caitou raised his eyebrows and said.

"It's done!" Duan Yun agreed very happily this time. He also knew that it was difficult for him to find a cheaper source of goods than Li Caitou in a short period of time. price, so he asked again: "Then do you have any in stock?"

"No, I have to go back to the factory to pick it up now... I guess it won't be ready until tomorrow, come over again." Li Caitou said with an embarrassed expression.

"Then we will meet here tomorrow morning." Duan Yun said after thinking.

"Okay." Li Caitou nodded and said, "Brother, can you pay the money first, or if you don't come tomorrow, won't I be blind..."

"Then what if you don't come and let me run for nothing?" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"I'm not that kind of person, Li Caitou!" Li Caitou said anxiously.

"Okay." Duan Yun interrupted him, took out five yuan from his pocket, handed it to him and said, "Brother, you are the first person I give money before I see the goods, we two tomorrow. Meet here on time, if I can't see you, you'd better not do business in this area in the future."

"Don't worry, whoever doesn't come will have a grandson!" Li Caitou clapped his chest.

Afterwards, after the two briefly chatted for a while, Li Caitou walked to the bus stop, ready to go back to the factory to pick up things.

And Duan Yun walked into the department store again to buy a bicycle.

Putting the Great Unity and Industrial Tickets on the counter, Duan Yun walked out of the department store with the brand-new permanent [-] in the envious eyes of everyone.

Riding a new bike on the way home, the breeze was breezy, and Duan Yun was in a particularly refreshing mood. This feeling was even more exciting than the first time he sat on the Chery QQ he bought in his previous life...
