Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 79, Unexpected News

The journey is not very far, only five stops.

Wang Qingsong took a bus and arrived near his eldest brother's house. He carried a bag of flour and walked towards a courtyard.

"Damn, it's really heavy. If I had known better, I would have asked my second brother to deliver it."

He was mumbling in his mouth.

However, he hadn't seen his elder brother for a long time. He came to see him. Unless there were special circumstances before the year before, he was not planning to go into the city.

Because the Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow.

You have to have a stable New Year at home, so it’s time to make good preparations.

"Hey, big brother, big brother!!"

Wang Qingsong looked at where he was approaching and saw a man in front of him wearing a dog-skin hat and shouted out quickly.

The eldest brother doesn't have a bicycle like the second brother. He probably just walked back.

Wang Qingshan looked around and saw that many people were in the alley at this time.

"Hey, brother, here it is!"

When he heard the voice was a man carrying a dough bag, he trotted over quickly.

"Xiaosong? Why are you here? What are you carrying?"

He quickly took the things in his hands.

After handing the things to the eldest brother, Wang Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief: "I went to the second brother's place. I asked you to come and have a look. The second brother asked me to bring you something."

Hearing this, the eldest brother opened it curiously and took a look.

Surprised, he tied his pocket again, looked back, and then whispered: "I asked you to deliver it here? Why did you deliver so much food? There are so many eggs! And soybeans."

He reached out and lifted it again: "Is this several dozen kilograms?"

"Nonsense, don't you see how tired I am?"

Wang Qingsong rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and said: "Let's go in, and have a meal with you at noon."

Hearing this, Wang Qingshan was embarrassed for a moment, and then thought about it.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The grain and eggs will go in after a while. Don't say they are for me. Just give me a few eggs. The rest just say they are for you. Got it?" ?”

"what?"

Wang Qingsong was confused for a moment.

Wang Qingshan said angrily: "The second brother came over to tell me about your family separation. You don't even have enough to eat! The eldest brother has no ability. You can take this food back later. By the way, I will give you five yuan later." Don’t tell your sister-in-law about money!”

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong was speechless for a while.

The eldest brother is actually very good to me, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to take him back with so much white noodles.

He also said that his second brother gave it to him.

But this fear of his wife also left him speechless.

But he also knows that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Looking at the five yuan that the elder brother took out, he thought about it and took it.

This five yuan is nothing to the second brother, but to the eldest brother, it is a lot of money.

After all, the eldest brother works alone in the family, and the sister-in-law takes care of the children at home and does not go to work. She lives on this 28 yuan a month.

Seeing him collect the money, Wang Qingshan carried the things and took him in.

When he was about to enter, he did not forget to explain: "Remember, this food is given to you by my second brother, do you hear me? I will keep some of these soybeans and eggs, and take the rest with me. Do you hear me? By the way, this White flour, I’ll give it to your sister-in-law two spoonfuls at a time, do you hear me?”

Did you hear three sentences in a row?

Wang Qingsong's head was buzzing after hearing this.

Ignore him.

After entering, a burst of fragrance came from the courtyard.

"Qingshan, are you off work?"

"Ang, Aunt Li, are you busy?"

"Well, we're cooking! This seems to be your brother, right? I remember he was here."

"Yes! Aunt Li has such a good memory! You are busy, let's go back first!"

The eldest brother greeted the people in the compound with a smile and took him to the back room.

Turn around at the door of the first room and go in.

He opened the straw mat curtain at the door and called inside: "Yaping, is the meal ready?"

"Okay, what day did I ask you to wait? I'm just waiting for you to eat."

There was a sound of laughter coming from inside.

Wang Qingsong followed in.

After Wang Qingshan put down the things, he smiled flatteringly at his wife: "Yaping, Qingsong, come here, let's have lunch here."

Hearing this, Tian Yaping was stunned for a moment.

Then he showed a smile: "Qingsong is here! Sit down and have something to eat together."

"Sister-in-law."

Wang Qingsong looked at the young woman in her early twenties in front of her, smiled and said hello.

Although the eldest brother's child is already 6 years old, his actual age is only 24, and the second sister-in-law's age is only .

There were not so many restrictions on getting married before.

The eldest brother was more than half a year behind, and he only got his marriage certificate later. (At that time, marriage did not require approval from work organizations or the like.)
  Seeing that the eldest brother was about to speak, he quickly spoke first: "Sister-in-law, the second brother asked me to bring you something. Where are they all? Are they all for you?"

"Is it for us? Wasn't it just given a few days ago?"

Naturally, Tian Yaping had seen it a long time ago. She murmured curiously and went to open it to take a look.

"Hey~~~"

Wang Qingshan saw his wife bending down to look at something and glared at Wang Qingsong.

That means, why are you so disobedient?

This is just great.

He couldn't give it even if he wanted to.

"Dad! I'm starving. Eat quickly."

While thinking, a little boy of five or six years old pulled a little girl of about three years old out of the house.

The eldest brother's house is a two-room house with one bedroom inside.

Wang Qingshan responded with a smile: "Okay, let's eat, look who's coming."

Wang Qingsong saw the two little guys and picked up the younger one: "Erya, do you still recognize me? Da Mao, do you still recognize me?"

The little girl looked confused.

The little boy chuckled: "Uncle 3!!"

"Hey, be good!"

Wang Qingsong smiled and kissed the little girl in his arms: "Erya, you don't recognize your third uncle anymore!"

"Third uncle!~"

At this time, the little guy realized what he was doing and let out a soft cry.

"Hey, be good~"

Wang Qingsong put the little guy down.

At this time, Tian Yaping stood up and said with a smile: "You guys eat. I didn't make too much at noon. I'll make some gnocchi for you. It'll be ready in a while."

Then he happily put the flour bag into the cupboard, scooped out a spoonful of noodles, and locked it up again.

"I want to eat gnocchi too~"

Da Mao Wang Yongjun heard that there were noodles and shouted quickly.

Who wants to eat coarse grains when there are fine grains?
  The little guy Erya didn't understand, but when he saw his brother shouting for noodles, he also started shouting.

Seeing his eldest brother's expressionless face, Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll eat steamed buns with my eldest brother, and give the little guy some gnocchi."

Seeing this, Tian Yaping agreed with a smile: "Okay, you guys eat first, your eldest brother has to go to work after eating for a while! There is only one hour of rest at noon, and it only takes twenty minutes to walk."

After finishing speaking, he went out directly.

The stove is at the door.

After the people left, Wang Qingshan complained: "Why do you insist on saying this? Next time I will tell the second brother that you have no brain, and he has no brain?"

These words made Wang Qingsong roll his eyes: "Brother, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that my second brother gave me food?"

Then he sat down directly: "Okay, let's eat, I'm already hungry."

When Wang Qingshan saw this, he could only sit down.

There are three steamed buns with mixed noodles and four steamed buns with vegetable dumplings in the basket on the table.

Wang Qingsong knew how to distribute it at a glance.

The eldest brother is the labor force, so there must be two wowotou, and the sister-in-law and the two little guys eat one wowotou and vegetable dumplings together.

Things are not going well in the city now.

This vegetable dumpling is a food substitute that he often eats in school.

Wheat bran and bean cakes with some sweet potato leaves or other wild vegetables added to steamed rice will definitely not taste good.

As for vegetables, just a plate of pickled mustard.

"Here, you eat the wowotou."

The eldest brother handed him the two steamed buns directly, then picked up the vegetable dumplings and ate them himself.

He handed the remaining two wowotou to the two little guys: "Here, you two share it."

They said they were eating gnocchi, and watching them eat, how could they not eat it? Wang Qingsong looked at the steamed bun in his hand without being polite, knowing that he couldn't give it up.

There’s no point in pushing it around.

After talking for a while, there were still gnocchi!
  I pressed the wowotou and started eating the pickled mustard.

The eldest brother was eating steamed buns with vegetable dumplings and asked him: "I heard from your second brother that you split up your family and lived in Wang Laoxi's house? Can that house be habitable? It's true that your kid has split up his family so much. Don’t even say anything about it.”

Wang Qingsong shrugged and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, we have divided everything. Wang Laoxi's house is a brick house, which feels pretty good! It's all packed up. Grandpa also got me some firewood. "

After finishing speaking, he thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, eldest brother, grandma is not in good health. My second brother and I have made an appointment to visit grandpa tomorrow. Will you go?"

The eldest brother thought for a while but made no decision: "I will go to the factory to ask in the afternoon."

Wang Qingsong didn't force it, and the two sat there, chatting.

Big brother is always asking, and he is there to answer.

Just listen to the eldest brother complaining there: "Everything else is easy to talk about, how can I give him a house! That is our Wang family's family property! Do you think building a house is so easy!"

"We've all moved out, no more talk."

Fortunately, I moved out, otherwise I don’t know what would happen in the future!

I don’t have that many opportunities.

What's more, not counting anything else, just the several thousand yuan in the secret room was already a huge fortune.

Of course, this ocean was just for show, so he wouldn't spend it on it.

Wang Qingshan said nothing more when he saw this.

It's useless to say more.

"The pimple soup is here! Qingsong, drink some pimple soup."

After the sister-in-law came in, she held the pot and asked him.

When he saw his man eating vegetable dumplings, he asked with a smile: "Qingshan, you just eat vegetable dumplings, do you want some pimple soup?"

Wang Qingshan shook his head: "I'm almost full, give Qingsong some."

The eldest brother didn't even eat the pimple soup when he ate the vegetable dumplings. He was even more embarrassed to avoid giving people the impression of trying too hard.

"Give it to my eldest nephew and niece! They are growing strong~~"

Hearing this, the sister-in-law nodded with a smile: "Okay, give it to the child."

After saying that, he scooped some lumps into the bowls of the two impatient little guys, and put the last little bit of noodle soup in the big brother's bowl.

"Okay, let's eat!!"

The sister-in-law looked at the two children, said something with a smile, picked up the vegetable dumplings and started eating them.

Everything goes so naturally.

The sister-in-law swallowed the vegetable dumplings vigorously and asked with a smile: "Qingsong, how are you doing recently? Why didn't Xiaomai come over!!"

"Well, it's okay. Mai is not in good health. I went to the hospital and went to my second brother's house last time, but I didn't let her come this time."

Wang Qingsong explained with a smile.

Seeing this, the sister-in-law nodded lightly: "Are you okay? That's good. Come and play at home if you have nothing to do! Da Mao and Erya really want to play with you!"

'okay! ’

Wang Qingsong agreed with a smile.

The eldest brother was eating quietly there.

"By the way, Qingshan, aren't you paying today? Give me the money, I have no money."

Hearing this, the eldest brother was surprised: "How come I have no money!"

Seeing this, the sister-in-law said nonchalantly: "Hey, I saved this money, right? You can't touch that money. How can you live your life if you don't plan carefully?"

The eldest brother said nothing and took the money out of his pocket.

He handed it to the other party and muttered at the same time: "Oh, by the way, I kept 3 yuan and gave less than 5 yuan."

"Why did you give Yu Yu money?"

The eldest brother took a sip of the noodle soup and said nonchalantly, "Don't you have relatives in the tobacco company? If you can get cigarettes, we can smoke together at work and let that kid do it."

The sister-in-law looked dissatisfied when she saw this: "What kind of day is it now? You still smoke, and you still smoke for five yuan."

Hearing this, the eldest brother muttered: "Then when I used to get a dime, it still cost two yuan a month!!"

The sister-in-law took a deep breath when she saw this and said nothing more.

Collected the money.

Wang Qingsong glanced at his eldest brother, but he didn't even look at him.

Then he smiled inwardly.

After dinner, the eldest brother had to go to work, so Wang Qingsong naturally followed him out.

When his eldest brother asked him to bring something back, he dismissed it by saying that his second brother had prepared it for him and would go get it later.

After leaving the gate, the eldest brother was complaining there.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, the eldest brother sighed and said nothing more: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm going to work first. I'll go to the work unit this afternoon. If it's easy to ask for leave, I'll go there with you tomorrow."

Wang Qingsong nodded slightly when he heard this: "Well, that's okay, I have to go back."

He said hello and left.

While walking in the alley, he looked around and saw a scrap station, so he went straight there.

This is a shed built on the gable at the end of an alley. There are many things stacked behind it and there is a wooden platform in front of it.

An aunt wearing a cotton-padded jacket was sitting there bored.

Wang Qingsong came closer, pointed to a pile of bundled newspapers, and asked: "Madam, how do you sell these newspapers? I'll buy some and put them on the wall."

"Five cents a pound."

"Weigh it for me."

Hearing this, the aunt picked up the hanging scale next to her and weighed it: "Eight catties and two taels, a total of 4 cents."

While Wang Qingsong took out the money, he glanced at the shabby furniture piled in the corner, and walked over to take a look.

None of them work.

After looking at it, he asked: "Auntie, how do you sell firewood?"

"It costs 3 cents per catty to chop firewood. (The price journal states that the price of wood splitting in those years was 3 cents per catty, which is more expensive than coal per ton.)"

Wang Qingsong nodded, looked at a kang table, pulled it out and asked: "Auntie, how can I sell this kang table?"

The other party glanced at him: "One dollar and eighty!!"

“His~ so expensive~~”

Wang Qingsong shook his head.

The aunt laughed: "This one is expensive, but that one is still usable. If you want to buy a new one, it will cost 4 yuan, and you will also be charged 6 industrial coupons!"

(Some things correspond to a reduction in the number of industrial coupons.)
  Wang Qingsong thought for a while and asked: "Is fifty cents okay? If not, forget it."

This is only three or four kilograms at most, which is just over ten cents.

And the price they charge is definitely cheaper.

The aunt thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong laughed and took the kang table out of the discarded furniture.

As for the other firewood, he didn't do it.

I don’t have a car to move it, and there will be plenty of ways to do it in the future.

After giving the money, he took the things and left.

After leaving, he found an alley, quietly collected his things, and headed straight to the bank with light equipment.

Prepare to exchange all the money in your hands for brand new three-yuan banknotes.

While he was waiting there, the chat between the two people at the bank counter attracted his attention.

"Hey, when will this old fool get his money back?"

"I don't know. The ten-dollar ones, the five-dollar ones, and the three-dollar ones were all printed by Lao Maozi. We don't have to deal with them now. If they print more, won't they be as worthless as before?"

"What is this called? It's called disturbing..."

"This is called disrupting the financial order."

"Hey, yes, yes! That's it."

"Who knows, there's no news yet."

……

Two women in their thirties were talking there.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man next to him shouted with a straight face, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can also say such nonsense?"

As soon as these words came out, several people smiled awkwardly and stopped discussing it.

There are not many people doing business at this time.

Seeing that there was no one at the window in front, Wang Qingsong hurriedly ran over.

"Withdraw money or deposit money?"

"Oh, I want to change...twenty three-dollar bills, three ten-dollar bills, and one five-dollar bill."

For some reason, Wang Qingsong thought of the conversation between the two people, and he subconsciously broke his plan.

What if the ten yuan one is worth it!
  He still knows the truth that rare things are valuable.

Although the other party was surprised, he still changed it for him.

Wang Qingsong changed the money, took the things and left.
