The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 22 Buying a Watch in Advance

At 02:30, Section Chief Chen arrived at the Sunflower Brigade in an old-fashioned Jill truck.

Section Chief Chen negotiated the price with Party Secretary Gao, 8 cents a catty, one female wild boar weighed 110 kilograms, the other weighed 100 kilograms, and the six small wild boars all weighed 420 to [-] kilograms, totaling [-] kilograms.

Section Chief Chen and Party Secretary Gao also divided into eight slips, each of which was no more than a hundred, so that the cash could be settled on the spot, saving both parties trouble.

Section Chief Chen also converted all kinds of pig raising rewards into food stamps, cloth tickets, etc. to supply the Sunflower Brigade, and everyone was happy.

Secretary Gao said, "Section Chief Chen, it's rare for you to come here, so go home for a drink."

Section Chief Chen held Secretary Gao's hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gao, we are old acquaintances, and I will not be polite to you. But today I have to pull two sheep."

"It won't take much work. You have a car. It will be a matter of time. You have to drink this wine for everything today."

"Uncle Gao, let's go to the side and say something intimate." Section Chief Chen said in a low voice.

Walking to the side, Section Chief Chen whispered something in Gao Zhishu's ear, and Gao Zhishu nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, you have important things to do, so hurry up and get busy. Just write down the wine this time, and you won't be able to run away next time."

"I'll definitely be happy to drink with you next time. This time just happens to be unlucky."

Section Chief Chen called Li Ming to the side to talk, "Xiao Ming, you don't need to go to Xueyao to register for the wild boar this time, I will handle the follow-up. If they ask about the wild boar, just say, I will handle it." gone."

Li Ming responded obediently: "Okay, section chief. Section chief, can I stay in Sunflower for a little longer?"

"Well, you can look at the arrangement. I have other things here, and I won't be returning to the city so soon."

"Okay, Chief."

After talking to Li Ming, Section Chief Chen greeted Party Secretary Gao and the others and left.

Secretary Gao smiled and said to Li Ming: "Li Purchasing, the matter has been settled, and your section chief has left, so go to my house for a drink."

Li Ming declined with a smile and said: "Secretary Gao, you can celebrate. I have to go back to the city as soon as possible. I will report to the section chief at noon about the movie next Monday. Although I will not accept it next Monday Eggs, but I'll still come with the projectionist."

Finally, he finished his work, and he planned to take care of the space again. He had endured it for a long time, and his heart was very itchy.

"Okay then, you will stay with us that Monday and have a good drink then."

Li Ming also greeted them and rode away.

The sun at 3 o'clock is still very poisonous. The wind and sun for the past few days did not leave marks on Li Ming's skin.

Riding all the way back, I found the supply and marketing cooperative at the residence of Dongfeng Commune. Li Ming bought a bamboo hat and a cattail fan.

Riding on the bike and continuing to walk back, Li Ming found a river, tried to get out of the water and could only detect about 4 meters, and it would be difficult to collect big fish from 4 meters away.

It was much easier for Li Ming to collect fish while walking than to lure fish with bait. It only took a while to catch three large soft-shelled turtles and harvested about 80 catties of fish. The pond felt quite crowded. Before, ten or twenty catties could be put in a bucket.

He rode on the bike and continued to drive towards the city. Suddenly, Li Ming remembered what he told Sha Zhu yesterday about making wild pork. Now let alone meat, there was not even a hair.

Section Chief Chen operated mysteriously. He felt that the section chief and the factory might have given away wild boar meat to others.

After finding a buying station, Li Ming packed the fish in buckets and handed them to the buying station, and got 25 yuan in cash.

There is no need to feel uncomfortable with the watch ticket in hand, so Li Ming went straight to the department store and bought a Shanghe brand watch for 120 yuan.There are no mobile phones these days, so you can only rely on watches, desk clocks, wall clocks, etc. to tell the time.

Li Ming put on his new watch, which was shiny.

Even in 2023, there will still be quite a few people who show off their watches on purpose, and there will be even more people these days. A watch is three or four months’ wages for ordinary workers, and a watch is a symbol of wealth.

Each of the three turns and one sound can be regarded as a necessity of life to some extent.

Li Ming looked at the row of various air guns in the department store, thought for a while, but he still didn't consider buying them himself, and slipped away.

Riding a bicycle leisurely towards the courtyard, when Li Ming passed by a small restaurant, he packed up a dinner and packed it home. There were still two bottles of beer left yesterday, and it was just right for tonight.

As soon as he entered the front yard of the courtyard, he saw the third mother busy at the door of the west wing, and asked, "Third mother, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Ming, you've come back from the countryside. I'm sewing here, and the room is too dark to see clearly."

"Third Mom, why don't I help you thread the thread." Li Ming stopped his bicycle and walked forward.

"Thank you, Xiao Ming. It's hard work for you to go to the countryside every day."

Li Ming returned the thread to the third mother, "It's finished. I'm working like this. I can't help it. I'll go back to the house first."

"Okay, I will continue to mend that curtain."

Li Ming opened the door and entered the house, put the lunch box deliberately hung on the bicycle into the space, closed the door and went to bed.

He had another busy day today. He collected two bowls into the space, one filled with water, and the other filled with rice that was ripened in the space, and fed them to the chickens. 2.5 catties of rice can feed these two chickens for four or five days, and we can almost see something by then.

Li Ming also controlled the space to be separated by a layer of transparent film to prevent the smell from being mixed in, although it has not happened so far.

In the small fish pond to the west, there are only four or five spare fish left, three soft-shelled turtles.There are duckweed and snails, they can't be starved to death.

In the southern part of the land where rice is to be planted, the two chickens are kept in chicken coops temporarily.

The site for planting vegetables in the north is small and has already been planted. Cucumbers, pumpkins, beans and other climbing vines are planted around, and garlic, ginger, radish, eggplant, green vegetables, etc. are only planted a little bit in the middle.

Li Ming felt that he was also looking at the money, food, etc. all over the floor in the east. He thought: "Get some furniture and store things in the east."

Slowly his eyelids dozed off, and he fell asleep again.

Li Ming was woken up by the noise of a bunch of children in the yard. He took out his newly bought watch from the space and checked that it was only six o'clock.

Looking at this new watch, Li Ming was also a little complacent. This was the first of three rings he bought.The ownership of the bicycle or the factory does not count.

It's a pity that it's not suitable to show off for the time being, and Li Ming hasn't started to spread the rumor of asking someone to borrow money.

Boom, boom, the thunderstorm in the summer evening came so timely, the children scattered like birds and beasts, Li Ming got up to collect the clothes under the eaves.

After a while, boom, boom, boom, it started to rain heavily.

Li Ming sat on the only stool in the room, watching the heavy rain outside, very leisurely.

The room is big enough and reasonably separated. There are big beds, tables, wardrobes, cabinets, etc. in the room. Simple life is no problem.

Few people go to Li Ming's house to sit around, so no one will notice any changes in his house.

Just now Li Ming put a water tank in the space for backup. Filling the water tank with water is the best body armor, more effective than any brick wall or steel plate. The disadvantage is that it can only protect against one bullet.

Li Ming sighed that he was still lacking in luck and energy. It would be great if Sha Zhu could get married, and he would reap a lot of money.

Among the neighbors in the courtyard house, who else is easier to arrange for changes?
