Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 449: Common Problems of Humans
After a while, Hao Dayou frowned and asked:

"There's nothing much to renovate in these buildings in our county, right?"

Wang An smiled and pointed out: "The country vigorously promotes education. Look at our county, is it still lacking a school or something?"

After hearing Wang An's words, Hao Dayou's frown immediately relaxed and he asked with a smile:

"You are well-informed! You know things that I don't even know?"

Wang An laughed loudly and said:
"Of course. By the way, brother, look at the house in the county government compound. Isn't it so dilapidated that it's uninhabitable?"

Although Wang An's words were exaggerated, his meaning was very clear.

So, after Wang An finished speaking, the two of them laughed together, and they both laughed seriously and happily.

It was obvious that both of them were happy that they had achieved their goals.

After laughing, Guo Dayou said gratefully:
"Okay, big brother, I'll accept your favor. This time I'm not going anywhere else. I'll just stay in this brick factory."

Wang An smiled and said, "Well, anyway, it's less than three months at most. There's nothing to lose by waiting and seeing. Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely not come to pull bricks within these three months, hahahaha."

Hao Dayou also laughed and said:

"Hahaha, then brother, I will prepare some people today to deliver your brother's bricks. I will not charge you for the tiles because of your brother's kindness."

The two chatted for a few more meaningless words, and then Wang An drove away on the sled.

After leaving the brick factory, Wang An looked at his watch again and found that it was not yet 10 o'clock, so he went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

In fact, Wang An's purpose of checking the time was to catch up with Fang Xiu'e's get off work time.

Otherwise, if Wang An rushed over, he would only be able to wander outside Fang Xiu'e's house.

On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An discovered that all kinds of monsters had come out.

The reason why Wang An didn't see them when he arrived was simply because these evildoers hadn't gotten out of bed at that time.

As a former member, Wang An knew very well what time these people got up in the morning.

Anyway, few people appear on the streets before 10 o'clock, and after 12 noon, that's when the evil spirits are most active.

After 12 o'clock, ordinary people rarely go out of their houses.

Soon, Wang An arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as he arrived at the door of the cooperative, a teenager about sixteen or seventeen years old came to greet him.

I saw this half-grown child wearing a dirty cotton hat, and his clothes and pants were all patched up and did not look very clean. The cloth shoes on his feet were basically all "broken".

Anyone who has worn cloth shoes knows that the uppers of cloth shoes are very fragile. It only takes a relatively short time for the cloth to be worn out, commonly known as "blooming".

Especially the area around the big toe. After a long time, the big toe will no longer be able to suppress its curiosity about the world and will come out to look at people.

That’s why there is a saying of “wearing a pair of open-toed shoes”.

I only heard this half-grown child say:

"Brother, do you need help watching the car? 20 cents an hour is fine."

To be honest, at first Wang An thought this guy was a beggar.

However, after hearing what this boy said, Wang An was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Because the job of helping to watch over the cars was invented by Wang An in his previous life. But Wang An was the leader, so his job was just to hang around and be ready to provide support at any time.

However, Wang An hardly made any money from this job. To be more precise, all the evildoers who followed suit did not make any money.

Because during normal market hours, people usually go with a group of people who know each other, so everyone takes turns looking at cars. If you want to charge money for helping to look at cars, people won't need you at all.

I finally found someone who was traveling alone, but he didn't want to use me because of money issues.

In this case, you have to create some trouble for him so that he will take the initiative to find someone to help watch the car.

But Wang An felt that it was a bit unbearable to attack ordinary people.

Therefore, Wang An and his gang only worked for a short period of time before they stopped.

Later, Sun Xianghuo began to vigorously improve public security, and a group of temporary police patrolled the streets.

Many of these temporary inspectors are relatives of those officials.

I have to say that each of them is quite powerful and dares to take action, which has ensured that the public security in DJ County is well maintained.

But after Sun Xianghuo was transferred, the situation in DJ County became worse than before.
Later, various units, including supply and marketing cooperatives, had places to store cars, and the work of watching over cars became less frequent.

After living a new life, Wang An had already retired from the gang, but the job of helping people look after cars still appeared at this point in time.

I have to say that no matter who is missing from this world, the earth will continue to function as usual, and things that should happen will also happen normally.

2 cents per hour to watch the car, this price is already quite expensive. You have to know that a box of Bingcheng cigarettes is only 1 cents. Besides, when Wang An did this job in his previous life, he only charged cents per hour.

However, because Wang An had done this job in his previous life and was able to encounter it again in his new life, he felt it was quite interesting, so he agreed.

Wang An took out a dime and handed it over, saying, "Can you pay the other dime in an hour?"

The young man took the money, looked very happy, and said with a smile:

"Yes, brother, I'll look at the car, that's absolutely safe."

Wang An looked at the boy, smiled, and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

But Wang An was feeling sad in his heart that with a new generation of gangsters entering the gang circle, his reputation as the "big madman" in the county would soon be forgotten.

Although I did it on my own initiative, I have to say that I still felt a little lost in my heart. Maybe this is a common problem among people!
Turning his frustration into motivation to spend money, Wang An began to make large purchases in the supply and marketing cooperative.

I didn’t expect that the supply and marketing cooperatives nowadays are just as Wang Shuai said, and many daily necessities no longer require tickets.

For example, matches, soap, cloth, washed salt, hard candy, white sugar, brown sugar, foreign cigarettes, flashlights, watches, radios, wall clocks, and so on.

However, the price without a ticket is about 20% more expensive than the price with a ticket.
Even so, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and no one was dissatisfied with the fact that they had to pay more money if they didn't have tickets.

However, items like bicycles, sewing machines, black and white TVs, etc. still required tickets.

A flashlight with three batteries is 3.5 yuan each, and I'll buy 6 of them. A flashlight with two batteries is 2.5 yuan each, and I'll buy 6 of them.

The main thing is that the quality of flashlights of this era is really not very good and they break down very quickly.

The small bulbs for the flashlights were five cents each, and I bought 100 of them. They would flash whenever they wanted, and I couldn't figure out why.

Batteries are 3 cents each. Let’s buy 100. I also need them for the radio, so 100 are really not many.
