Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 243 Tickets and Coupons

Xu Qing looked at the third brother who couldn't wait, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that buying a bicycle would do the trick.

Now I have savings in my hand, although it is not much, it is more than enough to buy a bicycle.

Moreover, as soon as the third brother graduates from high school next year, he and Ma Jinghong will get married. By then, big items like bicycles will be indispensable.

You have to buy it early or late. In that case, just buy it.

One thing worth mentioning is that because Sijiu City is one of the most important cities in the country, in addition to the various tickets that were circulated first, it also issued 'industrial coupons'.

Speaking of it, it is similar to food stamps, cloth tickets, and shoe tickets.

But with industrial coupons, you can buy any industrial supplies, such as bicycles, sewing machines, wool, and tea, no problem.

Relatively speaking, it is a little more convenient.

However, bicycle tickets have not been abolished directly, and bicycle tickets can still be bought.

If you don’t have tickets, save industrial coupons.

The problem is that saving industrial vouchers is more difficult than saving money.

A person can only get a few tickets in a year. Although the scarcity is easier than tickets for big things like bicycles, it is not easy.

In addition, there is no way to buy a bicycle without forty or fifty industrial coupons.

However, this was not difficult for Xu Qing.

How to say that he has [-] abilities to use every month.

The only thing that bothered Xu Qing was that the factory couldn't issue a few industrial coupons in a year.

In addition, this thing, like a ticket, can only be divided once.

So after several years of saving, there were only twelve pieces. Even after they were divided, there were only 24 pieces.

More than others.

But it is not easy to buy a bicycle with industrial coupons.

Unless you ask someone to borrow it, just like when Xu Qing asked Ma Jiefang to borrow food stamps.

But these days, no one is willing to lend their industrial bonds to others easily.

Although Xu Qing got along well with Ma Jiefang, Er Mazi, Sha Zhu and many people in the factory.

There is no problem in borrowing food stamps, but this industrial stamp is just one word: 'difficult'!
There is no way, everyone can get a lot of food stamps every year, but there are not many industrial stamps.

Of course, it wouldn't be a big problem if Xu Qing opened his mouth to them.

However, even if Xu Qing had borrowed industrial vouchers, he could not ask Xu Damao to hand them over to San Huzi for money after they were divided by their abilities.

The weather has changed, and taking risks at this time is really not worth the candle.

Therefore, Xu Qing never spoke.

Because if you want to borrow it, you have to wait until you get married next year.

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the cutting edge.

Early the next morning.

The four Xu Qing brothers and sisters ate breakfast in the house, and after nine o'clock, they left the compound together, ready to go to the state-run store to get their bicycles.

Silly Zhu from the Zhongyuan came to visit Xu Qing's house last night and heard Xu Fengming say that he was going to the state-owned store to buy a bicycle today.

I have been waiting in the middle courtyard for a long time.

He Yuyu graduated from junior college this year, but he is out of town and has not come back by train yet.

Silly Zhu couldn't be free by himself, and the aunt didn't help him arrange a blind date this week, so she thought about going to the state-run store together.

Young students from Wuyang Wuyang are still walking in the streets.

Xu Qing took his younger siblings and Silly Zhu to avoid them and stay as far away as possible.

When I walked to the state-run store, there were as many people inside as usual, all picking out what they needed. After more than a year, I have become accustomed to the changes in the general situation.

Anyway, ordinary workers don't have much influence, so they just keep doing what they should do.

When they walked to the place dedicated to selling bicycles, Xu Qing had not spoken yet. When the female salesperson saw Xu Qing, she smiled and said:
"What's wrong? I'm here to see you again. Instead of talking about my sister, I'm talking about you. Hurry up and ask your family to help you get a bicycle ticket. Don't come here to look at me every time. It's so boring!"

Xu Qing smiled, reached out and took out the bicycle ticket and waved it. The female salesperson was startled, then laughed and said:
"Hey, my family is willing to give you a ticket. That's a good thing. Let's take a look for yourself. They are all just arrived last month, and they look good."

After the female salesperson finished speaking, she shifted her gaze to the little girl. Seeing Xu Xiaoya's handsome appearance, she couldn't help saying to Xu Qing:
"You brat, who is this?"

"My sister."

Xu Qing spoke directly, he didn't want to cause misunderstanding.

The female salesperson pursed her lips and smiled, looking back and forth at the little girl.

Looking at the graceful little girl, I was very fond of it.

No way, who made the little girl look good?

Xu Qing took his younger brothers and sisters to look at the bicycle. Silly Zhu put his hands in his pockets and helped to watch.

Xu Fengming looked at a bicycle, looking left and right, ringing the bell from time to time, listening to the sound, and then squatting down, pinching the pedals with his hands, looking at the wheels, touching the tires, and pulling Second brother Xu Aiguo whispered.

It was a Phoenix brand [-] bar, with shiny handlebars and a crisp bell, but the price was slightly higher than others.

Xu Qing walked over and took a closer look. He thought it was a good car, but it was expensive, which he was not satisfied with.

Compared with those old models before, Xu Qing felt that there was no need to spend more money to buy it.

It’s just a bicycle, what’s fashionable, what’s new or not, if you can ride and carry things, that’s it.

When you have money in the future, you can buy the newest car and drive it into an alley after the car is modified.

Now, there's no need to be fussy.

After a while, Xu Qing picked out a relatively cheap Phoenix brand bicycle and bought it.

As for the bicycle tickets, Xu Qing had used his ability to divide them in private last night.

The one given just now is the one that was allocated.

Silly Zhu saw Xu Qing take the bicycle without blinking, and couldn't help but tut:

"Qingzi, it's ok, it's more than 100 yuan, just take it, it's so quick, don't you feel bad?"

Xu Qing smiled wryly and said, "Brother Silly Zhu, there is nothing you can do if you feel distressed. If you don't buy it now, it will be indispensable if you get married in the future."

Silly Zhu was stunned and scratched his head, feeling that Xu Qing was right.

How can you get married without a bicycle?

But then I thought, if Xu Qing buys a car today, it's possible that he will get married this year.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu felt a little uncomfortable.

Xu Qing has a partner, Ma Jinghong, but he has nothing, and he can't help feeling a little disappointed.

Xu Qing walked out of the state-owned store, put the procedures written by the female salesperson into his coat pocket, took out the cigarette he had on him, handed one to Sha Zhu, and started chatting with him.

Xu Fengming pushed the bicycle and competed with his second brother Xu Aiguo to ride it.

Although the little girl was full of love for her own bicycle, she didn't mess around with her two brothers, but stood beside her elder brother Xu Qing and walked quietly.

Although the bicycle has been purchased, Xu Qing still needs to register it and get a license plate.

Otherwise, if you ride on the road, you will inevitably be stopped, and then it will be a troublesome thing.
