I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1029 send away

Ding Guozhi asked Xia Mingxing to borrow a large sum of money, and he was grateful. He didn't have to worry about spending money, because according to his salary and allowances, after deducting various family expenses, the remaining money was enough to pay off.

It can only be said that the timing of the child's injury was too coincidental, and he happened to have no money with him.

Hearing what Ding Guozhi said, Li Xingxing said with admiration: "It turns out that it is the child who saved the martyrs. You don't need to return it. I remember that Brother Xiao Xia said in his letter that you asked the child to pick up stones for us after he recovered from the injury. You will pay us enough according to the national purchase price." Just do it."

"How can I do that?" Ding Guozhi still felt that paying back the money was more appropriate.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just like jade! Giving me jade makes me happier than paying back the money. The money is mine, and I'm in charge, and Xiao Xia can't object." Li Xingxing finished speaking with a smile, and then asked his name. Different: "Brother Ding, you used to be called Ding Tiezhi, why are you called Ding Guozhi again? Is there any difference between the two names?"

Ding Guozhi smiled and said, "One is iron, the other is country, that's the difference."

After finishing speaking, I answered Li Xingxing's question: "I went to Yanjing for a meeting two years ago, and the leader changed the name, saying that the iron is not big enough, and I am stationed in the frontier for the country and the people, so it is better to call it Guozhi. However, I have been communicating with him under the name of Ding Tiezhi, and when the times were bad, he sent a lot of food to me and my hometown."

Li Xingxing nodded, "I mean, just now I heard you say your name is Ding Guozhi, I was always wondering."

It is not uncommon for a person to have two or three names.

Leaders have aliases.

She also has another name to use.

Since Ding Guozhi had to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, Li Xingxing and Chen Xiangyang used an afternoon to purchase grain, oil and cloth, which happened to be a request to the Friendship Store with the overseas remittance voucher, so they asked them to pack the things and send them to the train station.

The amount of food was not enough, so Li Xingxing asked them to bring in some food from home, making up five thousand catties.

Cloth, oil, glutinous rice, soybeans, candy, ham, etc. are all bought according to overseas remittance coupons, while rice, white flour, and cornmeal cost two thousand catties, two thousand catties, and one thousand catties respectively, all of which are refined grains.

There are meat tickets on the overseas remittance certificate, but what they buy with the ticket is not fresh meat but ham.

After checking in the luggage and sending the telegram, Chen Xiangyang and Li Xingxing put Ding Guozhi on the train back home.

It is not difficult to buy a ticket for the train departing in the evening.

Ding Guozhi is a soldier, he has the priority to buy, and his rank is not low, he can buy a hard sleeper and get on the car in advance.

When Chen Xiangyang and Li Xingxing were about to leave, Ding Guozhi suddenly opened the car window and said loudly: "Comrade Chen, Comrade Xingxing, I have some special products from my family and fellow villagers who asked me to bring you, I almost forgot!"

Throwing three or four packages of things from the window, he said: "They are all local products, I'll give you a taste."

I didn't know the exact address of Xia Xingxing before, so I couldn't thank him alone. In the future, things will be sent to them all year round to express everyone's gratitude to them.

Li Xingxing picked it up and opened it. There were raisins, dried apricots, dried red dates, walnuts and the like.

It is indeed a specialty of the frontier.

"Thank you! Brother Ding, go back and thank them for me!" Li Xingxing waved at him very loudly.

After walking out of the train station, her shoulders drooped and she muttered, "With these materials, I can exchange them for more valuable things in the black market!"

As he spoke, he intentionally complained to Chen Xiangyang: "It's just you who are generous and set the exchange standard so high."

Chen Xiangyang smiled and said, "Then why don't you object?"

Li Xingxing sighed, "They are all the cutest people! They protect their families and the country, and I can't feel too much."

Chen Xiangyang teased her: "Are they all the cutest people?"

Li Xingxing remembered Ding Guozhi's words and shook his head: "Not all of them and their families, but also local residents' homes. Brother Ding told me before entering our house. So what? It's the frontier, and it's Uighurs." In the autonomous region, the weather is bad and the conditions are difficult, so the military and civilian families must be treated well, and the same treatment should be given, not a loss!"
