Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 38 Ticket Dealer

The young man was already trembling with fright.

The crotch of the cotton trousers was wet, exuding a fishy smell, and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

How to climb into the body.

"Now that I know I'm afraid, why didn't I think about it when I was stealing from others!" Li Aiguo put on a haughty face and together with the two police officers, lifted the young man and threw him onto the truck.

The young man's head hit the guardrail of the truck with a "bang".

Wang Weidong gasped, unable to bear the pain for the young man.

These days, as long as you squat on the fence for a few years, your life will be ruined.

After I came out, I couldn't find a job, and my relatives and friends didn't want to see me.

Maybe it will be a lifetime of bare poles.

But Wang Weidong does not feel sorry for the young people.

Everyone is having a hard time. Watches are big items, and they are usually used to marry a wife.

If it was stolen like this, maybe a good marriage would be over, and the owner would be very sad.

Live it!

After throwing the thief onto the truck, Li Aiguo walked towards the Pigeon Market with two comrades from the police.

At this time, two police officers escorted out another middle-aged man.

He was wearing a gray uniform, black cotton trousers, and a pair of rubber black cotton boots on his feet. His hair was not disheveled like ordinary people, but carefully trimmed.

From this appearance, Wang Weidong knew that he was a small leader of a certain unit.

The middle-aged man's face was covered with a black cotton scarf, revealing only two frightened eyes.

"Director, I caught a bill reseller." Comrade Public Security escorted the middle-aged man to Director Han and handed him a small canvas bag.

"Huo, catch a big fish." Director Han opened the canvas bag and took out a dozen receipts from it, his mouth a little bit open.

Wang Weidong was shocked when he saw those tickets.

There is daily system support, and he usually does not need receipts.

But I also know that these days, ordinary people can't live without the bills.

Commodities are only sold by supply and marketing cooperatives and stores, which require not only money but also receipts.

There are also many types of bills, and there are more than 60 kinds if you count them.

This is just the capital city, and it is estimated that there are no less than a thousand kinds in the whole country.

In addition to the common food stamps and meat stamps, there are also chicken, duck, fish, tobacco, wine, sugar, melon seeds, and matches.

Sewing machines, bicycles, light bulbs, balls of thread, socks, salt, sesame paste, tea, soap
Of course, there are some common votes.

One ticket can be used for several purchases.

For example, vegetable tickets can buy radishes, cabbage, and potatoes at the same time.

Onion tickets can buy onions, ginger, and garlic.

As long as you can think of goods, you basically need a ticket to buy them.

Feeling the importance of bills, the common people even made up a jingle.

Chicken tickets, duck tickets.

Tickets are required for tobacco, alcohol and candy.

One month of soap, only one bar.

Two boxes of matches, burn slowly.

Adults remember, children copy.

Each has its own use, don't mess it up.

In general factories, the unit will issue bills to employees every month.

The sub-district office will also distribute daily commodity receipts to residents in the area under its jurisdiction.

Some families have many children and need many commodities.

If you have money but no tickets, you will go to the pigeon market to buy tickets.

There are also some who want to buy big-ticket commodities, but they can't get the bills, so they also go to the pigeon market to buy tickets.

Generally speaking, the excess bills of each family are picked from between the teeth.

The bills that can be sold are very limited.

With two or three tickets in my pocket, I went to the pigeon market to exchange a few cents, and then saved them up to prepare for the famine.

Local governments also turn a blind eye, and even if they catch people reselling tickets, they will only criticize and educate them.

But in this little leader's bag, there is such a thick stack of receipts.

Obviously, not by saving, but by being able to save.

"Hey, there are bicycle tickets, you guys can do it, the grade is not low!" Director Han got excited as he flipped through the tickets in his purse.

Since he became the director of the police station, he has only dealt with some neighborhood disputes, such as the loss of a cat from the east, and the loss of a dog from the west.

It's so easy to meet a big case, no wonder I'm excited.

"Bulb tickets, soap tickets, rice tickets, pork tickets"

"More than 20 kinds of tickets!"

(⊙o⊙)
"You robbed the supply and marketing cooperative?"

After flipping through, Director Han waved his hand: "Tie it up!"

Two police officers rushed forward and tied the middle-aged man like a rice dumpling with hemp rope.

Hey, the method of bundling people is so familiar.

Director Han closed the small bag, put it in the creaking nest, and stared: "Tell me, where did these tickets come from?"

"I, I." The middle-aged man lowered his head, faltering.

A policeman next to him went up and lifted his face-covering towel:

"Be honest, since we caught you, you should understand what is waiting for you."

Yes, with so many bills, if there is no reasonable source, I'm afraid they will be shot.

The middle-aged man also knew this, his face was ashen, and he confessed in a low voice.

From his faltering words, Wang Weidong understood.

The name of this middle-aged man is Deng Lisheng, and he is the director of Chengxi Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He usually gets these tickets through some gray channels.

It happened that the fourth son was going to get married, renovate the house, hired a carpenter to build the cabinet, and bought 48 legs with three turns and one ring.

There is also a bride price for the bride's family, which costs money.

Although he earns a lot of money, he has five sons, and his savings have long since been wiped out.

Only then did he move his mind.

Unexpectedly, the first time I entered the pigeon market, I was rushed away by the comrades of the police before it opened.

After listening to Wang Weidong, he felt that this guy must be the director, and he was stupid.

Those old ticket dealers always put three or four receipts in their padded jackets, which add up to no more than five yuan, and it's okay to be caught.

He was fine, carrying a leather bag and wandering around with a large bag of receipts.

This is simply to rush the performance of the police station.

"Okay, please get in the car." Director Han probably thought Deng Lisheng was a bit stupid, so he knocked on the side of the car and was very polite.

"well."

At this time, Deng Lisheng was completely hopeless, and he was pushed into the car by two comrades of the police, and curled up in a corner.

Alas, don't stretch out your hand, or you will be caught if you stretch out your hand.

Some time later, Li Aiguo and Comrade Gong An escorted more than a dozen people from the pigeon market one after another.

Most of these are nearby farmers and some old ticket dealers.

The old ticket dealers only have three or four tickets, so they are not considered to be breaking the law, so they can only be caught and let them suffer.

There are also three old hens, two big roosters, five ducks, one little rabbit, two pigeons, two big bags of stick noodles, one bag of semolina, three pots of small grinding oil, one big carp, and one package of cotton
Later, a comrade from the public security department brought out a little piggy who was groaning and groaning.

Lin Lin always assembled a large truck.

Obviously, in this operation, the big fish must be caught, and the small fish will not be let go.

Perhaps it was because they felt that after these people were arrested, they were only criticized and educated before being released.

Director Han did not interrogate them on the spot, but just let them line up and squat in the middle of the truck.

In this way, small animals and food can be separated to avoid loss of evidence.

Wang Weidong next to him was a little disappointed.

He also wanted to know when the fish was caught and whether it was fresh or not.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Director Han also paced anxiously.

Is the information wrong?

Impossible, the old man who provided the information is Yu Zecheng's apprentice.

Wang Weidong squinted his eyes and dozed off in the driver's seat.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and Li Aiguo walked over with a tall, thin man bundled into rice dumplings with an excited expression on his face.

Four public security comrades carried a large stone tablet with tree trunks, swinging it.

The rope was stretched straight, and the knees of the people on both sides were bent, with sweat dripping from their foreheads. It seemed that the stone tablet was a bit heavy.

Li Aiguo pointed at the tall and thin man, and shouted from a long distance: "Han, I found the national treasure!"

national treasure?

Wang Weidong woke up with a start and jumped out of the driver's seat.
