Counterattack 1988

Chapter 17 The agreement has been exposed!

When he was about to get off work, Wang Lin came to the tidying workshop and said to Li Wenxiu: "I invite Assistant Zhou's guests tonight, and I will cook some delicious dishes at home."

Li Wenxiu said: "It's pretty good, what are you asking her for?"

Wang Lin said in a low voice, "It's not because of Assistant Zhou's efforts that you became the section chief? We must not forget our roots. Besides, Assistant Zhou is a good comrade who is willing to help others. If we make friends with her, we can ask her if we have something to do in the future." ?”

Li Wenxiu snorted: "That's fine, I'll buy some good dishes and go home later."

"You go home first, I'll pick up Assistant Zhou."

"Ah."

After finishing the last process, Li Wenxiu took off her work cap and apron.

Wang Lin handed over a bag: "It's for you."

"What?" Li Wenxiu asked.

"Here you are, just take it."

Li Wenxiu took it over and took a look. Inside was a women's watch, a skirt, and two pairs of stockings. She blushed involuntarily: "I can't take your things."

Wang Lin said indifferently: "Anyway, I gave it to you, so you can just throw it away! I'm a majestic man, and I definitely have no reason to take back the gift!"

Of course Li Wenxiu was reluctant to throw it away, and said helplessly, "Forget it this time. Don't give me anything in the future. I owe you more and more!"

Wang Lindao: "What are you afraid of? At worst, extend the contract for half a year!"

"..." Li Wenxiu couldn't laugh or cry.

Chen Xiaoxi came over and said with a smile: "What secrets are you young couple talking about? So close! Yo, Wenxiu, what are these? Clothes? Let me see!"

Between the two of them, they usually play very well, and their relationship is equivalent to best friends in future generations, and they have nothing to say to each other.

Chen Xiaoxi reached for the bag, opened it to look, and yelled, "Oh my god! Wenxiu, your lover treats you too well, right? I'll give you a watch, and also a skirt and stockings! This is the latest style of dress, wear it It's so beautiful, with a very good figure and temperament! Wang Lin, you have a good eye! When will you give me a set?"

Wang Linkou said with a playful smile, "Okay, whenever you call me lover, I'll see you off."

Chen Xiaoxi was made fun of, and immediately blushed and gave him a blank look: "I dare to shout, do you dare to agree? Bigamy is a crime! Do you want to go to jail?"

Wang Lin giggled: "So, Comrade Chen Xiaoxi, you can only find other men to give you things."

Other female workers also gathered around, chattering and saying a lot of envious words.

Li Wenxiu picked up the watch and put it on his wrist. Under the light, the case immediately felt like it was shining!
"What a beautiful watch!" Chen Xiaoxi, Liu Yu and others all exclaimed in admiration.

Li Wenxiu looked at Wang Lin shyly: "Why is it a female watch?"

"I added fifty bucks, fixed it, and changed it at the counter."

"It's too expensive! Don't spend so much money in the future." Li Wenxiu looked at his watch with a happy smile on his lips.

Among the hundreds of female workers in the tidying workshop, she is the only one who wears a Shanghai watch!

Even Zhou Boqiang, the director of the factory, still wears an old-fashioned Seagull watch, which sells for just over 90 yuan.

This Shanghai watch is an honor for women in the 80s!

It's the same as women in later generations bought a LV bag.

The premium price of the brand and the promotion of advertisements can satisfy people's vanity.

The female workers surrounded Li Wenxiu, chatting non-stop.

Wang Lin smiled, went to the factory office, and saw Zhou Porridge sitting inside tidying up his things.

She is wearing a different outfit from the morning, which makes her more cute and beautiful.

"Hello, Assistant Zhou." Wang Lin said with a smile, "Are you off work?"

"Yeah." Zhou Congee said, "Is it better not to go to your house for dinner? I don't deserve it for nothing."

"Stop, Assistant Zhou, you've helped my wife. Besides, we're all young people, so it's okay to have a party with each other!" Wang Lin said with a smile, "You, the leader, don't Will you look down on our working class?"

Speaking of this, how dare Zhou Porridge refuse?I had to agree with a smile.

"Has your family agreed to sell treasury bonds?" Wang Lin asked.

"Agreed, why don't you agree! My dad said that those treasury bills are just a pile of paper left at home. It's better to cash them out earlier! I brought 5000 yuan in bonds, do you want them all?"

"Do you really have so many coupons in your family?" Wang Lin was surprised.

Before the 90s, treasury bonds were mostly subscribed by state-owned enterprises and institutions, which was actually a kind of apportionment.

What kind of family is Zhou Porridge's family?Can you subscribe for a treasury bond worth 5000 yuan?

Seeing Wang Lin's doubts, Zhou Porridge said, "My whole family subscribed. My grandparents, parents, two uncles, and two aunts, we brothers and sisters, all subscribed. These coupons are five It is actually not worthwhile to keep medium- and long-term bonds of more than one year in your hand. My grandfather said, sell as soon as you can! Anyway, I subscribed at that time to support the country’s economic construction! I didn’t want to rely on this to make money.”

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Your family is really politically aware!"

Zhou Congee took out a leather satchel from the cabinet in the corner.

There are many denominations of treasury bills issued. The common denominations are one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, or even ten thousand yuan.

The 5000 yuan that Zhou Congee brought were all 50 yuan coupons, a total of [-] coupons!

Zhou Porridge smiled and said, "Look, are these? It's almost moldy in my cupboard!"

Wang Lin took a stack of treasury bills and took out one to read.

On the front was a photograph of a landscape, a satellite dish of somewhere.

There is a line written on the back: 1990 treasury bills, since [-], the lottery has been drawn to repay the principal and interest, and it has been repaid in [-].

Zhou Porridge said: "Look at what is written on it, the five-year period, and you have to wait for the lottery to be cashed out, that is to say, it will take up to nine years to be cashed out in cash! What do you think is the difference between this and paper? Why don't you just save it?" Where's the savings bank!"

Yes!

If it is calculated according to the normal interest rate, it is indeed not as high as the interest rate of the savings bank.

Therefore, the treasury bills before the 90s were apportioned, and you had to buy them if you didn't buy them.

This also contributed to the popularity of black market transactions.

Many people bought treasury bills and then sold them at a low price.

Because this stuff is worthless!
Many businessmen in the treasury bond business have made a fortune because of it!
Wang Lin smiled and said, "Go to my house, and I'll give you the money."

Zhou Porridge hummed: "You think about it before changing it! This is a pile of paper! It may take six years to cash it!"

"Hehe, as long as you don't regret it!" Wang Lin giggled.

The two went downstairs, Wang Lin said, "My house is nearby, shall we walk there?"

"Okay!" Zhou Porridge nodded.

Passing by the farmer's market in the factory area, Wang Lin bought melon seeds for [-] cents and fruits for [-] yuan.

Zhou Congee laughed and said, "You don't need to spend money."

"It's okay, I know you like to eat melon seeds!" Wang Lin laughed.

When they arrived at home, Li Wenxiu was already washing rice, cooking and chopping vegetables.

"Assistant Zhou is here, hello!" Li Wenxiu said with a smile.

Zhou Congee said: "I'm really sorry, thank you for your hard work."

"Don't say that, we usually want to curry favor with Assistant Zhou, but we haven't had a chance yet!" Li Wenxiu laughed, "Sit in the room for a while, and the food will be ready in no time."

Wang Lin invited Zhou Congee into the room, and said to Li Wenxiu, "Wenxiu, you accompany Assistant Zhou next time, and I will cook."

Li Wenxiu said: "You just need to accompany me."

Wang Lindao: "You women have something to talk about."

Li Wenxiu smiled sweetly, handed over the spoon to him, wiped her hands with her apron, came over to treat Zhou Congee, made a cup of tea for her, and chatted with her.

Wang Lindao: "By the way, Wenxiu, you take 3000 yuan and give it to Assistant Zhou."

Li Wenxiu was shocked, and looked at Wang Lin in confusion.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "I'm buying Assistant Zhou's treasury bonds!"

"Treasury bills, why are you buying them? They can't be exchanged for money."

"I have my own reasons! If you are told to go, go. The money is in the dark compartment of the closet in your room."

The old-fashioned wardrobes are all made of wood. Clothes are folded and stored, and they cannot be hung. There is a row of drawers in the middle. A hidden compartment can be made next to the drawers to store important things in the family. This hidden compartment is the same as the drawer. If it is connected, the drawer must be opened with a key to open the hidden compartment.

This can be said to be a safe for the poor.

Li Wenxiu went into the back room and came out with a cloth bag.

While putting the fried dishes out of the pot, Wang Lin said to the room: "Assistant Zhou, you have 5000 yuan in treasury bills, 3000% off, that's [-] yuan, right?"

Zhou Congee said, "That's right."

Li Wenxiu opened the cloth bag, counted 3000 yuan, and handed it to Zhou Congee.

Zhou Congee handed his bag to Li Wenxiu: "You order some too."

Li Wenxiu hummed, counting stacks of points.

Zhou Congee quickly finished counting the money in his hand.

She suddenly saw a piece of paper pressed under the cloth bag, half of the paper was exposed, and she could see the writing on it at a glance.

"A pre-divorce agreement?" Zhou Conge picked up the paper in surprise, read it quickly, and asked, "Wang Lin, Li Wenxiu, what are you doing? You just wanted to get divorced when you got married? Even divorced? The previous agreement has been signed? Just wait for Li Wenxiu to pay off the 3000 yuan bride price, and you two will officially divorce?"
