Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 228

I didn't buy many things on this trip. They were all scattered small items, such as calendars, New Year pictures, red paper, etc.

The red paper can be cut into long strips to write couplets, or into small pieces to make paper-cut door curtain flowers and window flowers.

In addition, there are small whips, bowls, plates and chopsticks. The small whip has 500 rings. Xu Ning bought 20 pieces and divided them among the four families. One family only had four pieces, which was just enough for the 30th, 1st, 5th and 15th days of the Lunar New Year. , and Marezi and Erqiji, when Xu Ning and Li Fuqiang were resting a few days ago, they led Wang Biao and Liu Tianen to do a lot.

The meaning of bowls, plates and chopsticks is to add new ones. I also bought light bulbs, lamp holders, wires, and candles. Because during the Chinese New Year, the electricity consumption in the village is too high and it is easy to cause power outages, so I bought more candles to be prepared. Besides, on the 15th You also need to light a lantern for use.

The rest are pillow towels, hand towels, washing powder and yellow paper, as well as more than ten bags of cream and moisturizing bars.

This yellow form paper is very useful, everyone understands it, and I won’t go into details.

Outside the supply and marketing cooperative, Chai Bing first drove the Dongfeng Motor over, and then Li Fuqiang, Wang Hu and others moved their things into the trunk.

Xu Ning and Qian Shude were standing in front of the counter in the room, settling accounts for Yang Shuhua. She bought many things, including socks, two sets of autumn clothes and long trousers, two bundles of navy and gray cloth, red cloth, etc... …

Qian Shude bent down and counted twice, then raised his head and said, "Sister-in-law, the total is 46 yuan..."

"Come on!"

Just as Xu Ning was about to get in the car, she felt inconvenient holding two oil-paper bags in her hands, so she chased after Li Fuqiang and handed him the oil-paper bags.

After saying that, Yang Shuhua took out the money from her pocket and checked it carefully. Li Fuqiang said from the side: "Listen to your sister-in-law, otherwise it's time to mix up. Do you know what the second aunt is doing to buy cloth?"

At this time, Chai Bing handed him a cigarette and heard Xu Ning say: "You don't have a holiday during the New Year?"

Qian Shude took the cloth ticket, looked at it, and said with a smile: "What's the significance of this? I'll leave it here. If you need anything in the future, you can come directly to me. You don't have to wait in the crowd, I will give it to you." The arrangements are clear!"

Qian Shude answered with a smile, "Sister-in-law, just give me a 15-meter ticket."

"Haha, okay!"

After Xu Ning handed the things to Li Fuqiang, Qian Shude handed him the oil paper bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Should we pay now?"

"Go back. It's almost three o'clock. It won't be more than four o'clock when you get home, right?"

When Xu Feng saw Chai Bing sticking his head out from the door, she ran out first, carrying the things in her hand and Jinyu Mantang. As soon as she left the house, she left the back room warehouse to grab a small piece of chocolate and candies, and then came over carrying two oil paper bags. .

"That's it for now, let's go back first."

Qian Shude took the two oil paper bags, put his arm around Xu Ning's shoulders and said, "Let's go out and chat."

Qian Shude glanced at Xu Ning, then smiled at Yang Shuhua and said, "Sister-in-law, yours is a total of 46 yuan, mainly because the cloth is expensive..."

"Then I'll trouble you."

"Why not? Er Ning and I have a real relationship. Anyway, 15 meters is enough for me to do business, so don't worry."

Qian Shude nodded: "It's definitely not possible during the Chinese New Year. The supply and marketing cooperatives can't close down, and they have to leave people on duty. Just wait for my letter about your ground affairs, and I can find someone for you no matter what."

"Fuck, let's clean up the whole scene and trouble each other, haha..."

Qian Shude, Xu Ning and others laughed twice.

He handed the things to Qian Shude calmly, nodded to Xu Ning, then turned and walked towards the back room. The warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative is very important and cannot be separated from people for a moment, because if something is lost or catches fire, No one can bear the responsibility for the loss.

Xu Ning raised her head and said, "Aren't you making clothes?"

After Xu Ning and Yang Shuhua handed him the money, Qian Shude carefully checked it three times. After it was correct, he said: "It's just right."

"Oh shit, I was thinking of letting you go to Qing'an for two days, so let's wait until you are free before going."

After everyone got on the car, Chai Bing patted the car, and then Li Fuqiang stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Everyone waved goodbye to Qian Shude. Chai Bing pushed Li Fuqiang and said, "Qiangzi, you are driving. You will go to the transportation team after the new year. Hurry up and practice your skills to get familiar with them."

Yang Shuhua pushed Xu Ning from the side and said, "Hey, no need, brother Qian, we will get married separately. Mine is 46 yuan and 5, right?"

"Ah, let's share it with someone else. Can you pay for it?"

He was vaguely reminding me to give him some cloth tickets. When Yang Shuhua heard this, she said, "Thank you very much, brother Qian. If you have to buy this elsewhere, it will definitely be expensive."

Xu Ning was taking money out of his pocket, but Yang Shuhua didn't seem to understand what Qian Shude meant, so she turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, give him some cloth tickets."

Seeing what Li Fuqiang said, Xu Ning understood in her heart and said with a smile: "Okay, let's tie it separately."

"Hmm, mine is 86 yuan3? Plus 46 yuan..."

Xu Ning looked at the people around him who were checking out, nodded and took the cloth on the counter, while Yang Shuhua picked up the remaining small items and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative together to the car.

At this moment, Chai Bing had already carried Xu Feng and Jin Yumantang into the car, and then walked along the car body to the rear compartment, where he stood with Li Fuqiang and others.

Li Fuqiang grinned: "Okay, third brother, just put your head back and cover yourself tightly."

Yang Shuhua was stunned and said, "Ah, I'm just checking."

"These are the chocolates and candies that Lao Qian brought for Jin Yumantang and Feng'er to try, so they don't have to chatter together."

Qian Shude shook his head: "I only have three days of free time. I have to go to work in the third grade of junior high school. I'm also thinking about staying at my father-in-law's house for two days. It would be nice to stay overnight this time."

Li Fuqiang put it aside and gave a thumbs up, saying: "Be particular about it, brother."

Yang Shuhua was about to pay, but Xu Ning raised her hand to stop her and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll give it. You can carry your things and go out first."

Li Fuqiang took it and nodded: "Okay."

"Hey, no need. These things are for my second aunt and I. We can settle the accounts when we get back."

Yang Shuhua was stunned when she heard this, because she bought more than 30 meters of cloth, and only gave her 15 meters? She looked up at Xu Ning, figured out the reason, and asked worriedly: "Is that possible?"

In the car, Xu Feng's eyes lit up when she looked at the oil paper bag on her lap, and so did Jin Yumantang next to her, because Li Fuqiang said as soon as he got in the car that it contained chocolate and jelly beans.

"Feng'er, your second brother asked Kai to taste it first. He said it was your brother Qian who got it."

Xu Feng turned around and exclaimed, "Did my second brother really tell me to open it?"

"Is it necessary?"

Hearing this, Xu Feng hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled the rope away, opened the oil paper bag and revealed a large chocolate bar wrapped in tinfoil neatly arranged inside.

Yang Shuhua was surprised and said: "Hey, this game deserves to be expensive, right?"

Li Fuqiang nodded and said: "It's definitely expensive. It looks high-end at first glance..."

Xu Feng grabbed a piece of chocolate, pulled open the tin foil, and said: "This toy is one yuan more expensive than the White Rabbit toffee! Oh my god, look at this dark color, it's hidden..."

Xu Feng broke the chocolate into pieces and handed it to Jin Yu and Mantang, "You two have a taste first, sister-in-law, you also have a taste, and you feed my brother Qiang a gada."

Although she is young, she is very open-minded in her work. This is also the excellent gene of Lao Xu's family. After all, her family has been influenced by her all day long.

"You can eat first." Yang Shuhua raised her hand to refuse.

"Hey, you two should try it quickly. These are exactly five small pieces. Let's take one piece each."

Xu Feng first threw a small piece into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Oh my God, it's so bitter! Sister-in-law, try it, it's so bitter..." "Bitter? This thing shouldn't be sugar, how can it be bitter? ." Yang Shuhua was a little confused.

Immediately, she took it and took a small bite, frowning when she felt the taste, "Hey, dad, try it quickly. This game should be really bitter and a little sweet."

Yang Shuhua handed the bitten piece to Li Fuqiang's mouth. He tasted it and frowned: "What a joke...it's so painful."

"Haha, Jinyu, how do you feel?"

Li Jinyu said: "I have suffered a lot..."

"That might be the smell. I thought there was something wrong with my sense of smell." Yang Shuhua said with a smile.

Xu Feng grinned: "Ask my second brother when you get home, he will definitely know what it tastes like."

In fact, the chocolate they eat is not authentic because it has been slightly modified to suit the tastes of domestic people. Some factories also add melon seeds, chopped peanuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc. to the chocolate.

Therefore, the selling price is only 2 cents more than the White Rabbit toffee, which is 3 yuan per catty. Qian Shude took five catties, which is more than ten yuan, plus another jelly beans in an oil paper bag. , it costs about 15 yuan.

"I'm very particular about money. These two packs of candy only cost fifteen or six yuan."

Li Fuqiang said: "Kangliang, our brothers don't have friends with Chessou. If there are friends with Chessou, we can't get along with him."

"That's right, this game is also mutual..."

To be friends is to be mutual, and you must have some special skills to be able to enjoy each other's resources. However, once the relationship is explained too clearly, it changes its flavor, so I won't say more about it.

When he returned to Qing'antun, Li Fuqiang drove very fast and arrived home at just four o'clock.

As soon as the car stopped, Dahuang, who was squatting at the door, barked twice. Xu Ning got out of the car and hissed twice, and Dahuang shut up.

"Let's all go into the house first, and we can divide them up later."

At this time, Wang Shujuan, who was lighting a fire in the outhouse, came out and said as she walked, "Why did you come back just now?"

Yang Shuhua jumped out of the car and turned around to meet Xu Feng. She turned around and said, "I'll have a meal at my eldest brother's place at noon and go shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative for a while."

"Did you buy them all?"

"OK."

At this moment, Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao, and Wu Qiuxia were preparing meals. When Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, Chai Bing, and others moved things to the east room, they entered the room to take a look.

Liu Lizhen said: "You divide these things up and give your uncle two hanging whips."

"Why, my old uncle won't let you go when you're fifteen?"

Liu Lizhen said helplessly: "It's a bit of a saying that we won't let him go after the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. He can just leave it on the evening of New Year's Eve and the second day of February."

"Ah, that's okay, can I post couplets or something?"

Wu Qiuxia leaned against the door frame and said, "Yes, he just can't fire off the cannon."

"Are you going to see it today?"

"OK……"

At this time, Xu Feng ran over from the west room and said, "Mom! Mom, try this! It's delicious."

Liu Lizhen looked down at the brown sugar in her hand, frowned and said, "What kind of fun is this?"

"Hey, you can taste it."

Liu Lizhen bent over and swallowed it in her mouth, and immediately frowned, "Oh my God, what a joke, it's so painful... are you looking for exploitation..."

"Hahaha, second aunt, uncle, sister-in-law, you guys should try it too, this is a good thing, don't vomit, hahaha..."

Xu Feng frowned and laughed heartily as she looked at them. Liu Lizhen grabbed her arm and said, "What did you buy secretly? Why are you just spending money on such an old and unpleasant toy?"

"Hey, I didn't buy it. It was a gift from my second brother's friend."

Xu Ning raised his head and said: "The chocolates given by Lao Qian, the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, must be quite expensive."

Liu Lizhen heard this and asked: "How much is it?"

"The retail price can't be more than 2 yuan per pound, right?"

"Hey mom, where is this noble man?"

"It's not that good. Brother Qian gave me five kilograms and some other jelly beans, which are quite delicious." Xu Fengba said.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "You shouldn't eat this often, otherwise you won't be able to sleep."

"Ah? Then you guys have to try it quickly. If I can't sleep, I might as well have someone with me!"

Xu Feng suddenly changed her mind and grabbed a few pieces of chocolate and stuffed them into the hands of Wang Biao and others.

After everyone took a bite, they felt that the taste was not that bitter. It was just that they felt the taste was very strong after taking a bite.

Xu Ning divided the things into four parts and said to Wang Hu, "Take these things home with you. Tian En should also think about it. Don't forget it before you leave."

"know."

"Er Ning, how much did it cost in total?" Han Fengjiao asked.

"Hey, it didn't cost much." Xu Ning waved his hand.

"Pull it down quickly. These are the New Year's goods and yellow paper I bought. Quickly calculate how much they cost." Wu Qiuxia said.

This yellow paper has a special purpose, and the hidden meaning is that whoever uses it pays for it, and the New Year's goods and other toys are for his own household, so how can Xu Ning spend his own money.

The last time they went shopping on the street, they divided it up after they got home, and everyone paid for it. Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu bought rice-fabric leather shoes, and Xu Ning also returned the remaining money to them.

"Then let's wait until night to figure it out. I don't understand."

Han Fengjiao said: "Let Feng'er do the math."

"She doesn't even understand. Let's wait until my dad comes back."

When it comes to this, everyone has no objection, because Xu Laowen is the big accountant of the forest farm. He can use the abacus beads to sort out millions of accounts. At the end of each month, he can clear the forest farm's six to seven hundred dollars in just three days. People’s wages are calculated.

Xu Feng took Xu Ning's arm and said, "Second brother, will you go up the mountain tomorrow?"

"You want Gaha?"

"Take me there, I also want to catch fish..."

Xu Ning shook his head: "I'm sure I won't be able to catch fish tomorrow. Let's wait a few days."

Obviously he, Chai Bing, Li Fuqiang, and Wang Hu had to go up the mountain, and they had to go to Ma Liu to have a look a year ago. After all, Ma Liu had done a lot to hold Li San down last time. You have to go and see it.

When Chai Bing leaves, he still has to prepare some fish for Chai Liangyu. Although there are roe deer at home, he still has to look for deer traces and black blind barns. If he can get them, wouldn't it be better?
