I Had a Home In 1982 Chapter 40

  Chapter 40 40. Open the food market

  Everyone came down, and things were simple.

   Director Shu led the crowd to drive away the lively watchers, and then they went to the small house of the old gatekeeper at the dock.

   Huang Xiaohua said sobbing in the room.

   The captain's family has a large population, with five children and two elderly people. Together with the two, they have nine mouths.

   In this case, their family's rations are not enough, and the rations distributed by the brigade during the New Year are long gone——

"The food distribution for the New Year's team, we haven't asked for wheat and rice, we asked for corn and sorghum rice, and then we asked for ten catties of third-class flour to entertain relatives, but this is not enough to eat. I ran out of food last month. I will go. My parents asked for ten pounds of sweet potato noodles mixed with kelp and steamed rice until this month."

   "I'm really out of food this time, I don't have the face to go back to my mother's house to ask for food, my mother's child and his aunt don't give a good face, and the old man is also difficult to deal with."

   "It's impossible to have no food at home, but our Wang family has a rural hukou. They can't eat commercial grain, and they can't buy cheap grain, so they can only buy bargain grain."

   "This year's negotiated grain is expensive. I have inquired about it. Cornmeal is sold at 1.4 cents per catty, but the bargaining grain starts at 50 cents, and one catty buys three and a half catties. Who can afford this!"

"Last month, my brother was hospitalized in the county. I came to see him with the fish and shrimp that I had dried at home, and then I met a relative who was my aunt's nephew and my distant brother. He also came to see me. brother."

   "At that time he took me to his house for dinner, he had food rations, and the cakes were not pure cornmeal, but mixed with bean noodles and millet noodles..."

   Hearing this, the three-year-old son of the captain's family said: "Daddy, I'm hungry, I want to eat miscellaneous noodles."

  Wang Xiangxiong took out an oiled paper bag from his pocket and gave it to the child, who opened it happily: "Oil peanuts!"

   He had two sisters who immediately grabbed him.

  Zhuang Mancang had a gloomy look on his face, and said, "Lesbian, go on, what about the back?"

  Huang Xiaohua continued sobbing and said: "He said later that he has a relationship and that he can buy food without a food stamp. It is a little more expensive than the cheap food, and a pound of cornmeal costs two cents."

   "It's fine for me to think about two cents. I'll go home and discuss it with my boss. The boss doesn't want to..."

   "I knew you were dealing with a liar." The captain interrupted her angrily, "The secretary has already said that there are many liars in the city now..."

   "You let her talk, don't talk." Zhuang Mancang frowned.

  Huang Xiaohua raised her head tearfully and said, "How did I know he would lie to his relatives? He lives in a building and eats well. I thought he had a city hukou!"

   "Besides, you are not afraid that he is a liar. You are reluctant to take out the money. The family has saved 52 yuan and 27 cents for three years since the fifth, and you are reluctant to take it out."

   "But our family has nine mouths, and we have nine mouths to eat when we open our eyes. It's not good without food, so I just want to use my family's money to buy food."

"My brother said that if you buy more than one family, you can give more, and for 50 yuan, people can give you 300 catties of cornmeal, so I gave him 50 yuan from the family. I didn't dare to tell you, I only thought about three I bought 100 catties of cornmeal, and when I get it, I will make you happy all of a sudden!"

"In the end!" She burst into tears, "I went there on the 1st day, that brother was not at home, his wife and children were all there, and he told me to wait, it's a waste of time, let me wait. Go in two days."

   "I went the day before yesterday, and she said she was still doing it, and she could buy it tomorrow, but I went there yesterday, and she said she had to wait a day!"

   "I'm not stupid, and I know something is wrong, so I brought the dolls over this morning, and wanted him and his wife to have pity on these dolls!"

   "Who knew there was no one in their house!"

"That building was rented by them. We stood at the door and waited. The neighbors called the landlord. The landlord said that the family left yesterday, and he hasn't paid him the rent for last month and this month. He reported it to the police. Now, the police can't find anyone!"

   Having said this, she couldn't help but fell to the ground again: "How can he be so bad! Isn't this forcing me to death? This is life-saving money, life-saving money for a family! This is life-saving woo woo..."

   Seeing that her mood was about to collapse again, Zhuang Mancang hurriedly said: "He deceived you with fake banknotes, don't cry yet..."

   "Leader, you don't have to fool me, I just lost my head, how could the money be fake? I counted it twice a day, how could it be fake?" Huang Xiaohua cried.

   The captain said dumbly: "That's right, how can it be fake money? I went to the supply and marketing agency to exchange it, it can't be fake."

   "You can shut up." Liu Hongmei glanced at him.

  Zhuang Mancang beckoned, and Wang Yi, Director Shu and Wang Xiangxiong all passed.

   He said, "Director Shu, take over this case, we can't handle it."

   He took out a few more tickets from the bag and handed them to Wang Yi: "Comrade college student, you will give this food ticket to the **** later, so you can comfort her."

   "The days are difficult but they can always pass. After the reform and opening up, the days will definitely get better and better in the future!"

  Wang Yi curiously took the food stamp and looked at it.

These tickets are red, the first line on it is 'Wengzhou City Purchase Ticket', next to it is written a quotation from the leader, 'Against overeating, pay attention to saving', and in the center there is a picture of cultivating in the farmland with a headscarf, The amount is printed on the map, and the food stamps are five pounds.

  Zhuang Mancang waved his hand away after making arrangements.

   Director Shu went after him: "Dazhuang, don't you stay for lunch? I got a bottle of Fen wine there."

  Zhuang Mancang said: "No, there are still tasks to be done."

   "What task?" Director Shu asked.

  Zhuang Mancang said: "It was supposed to be kept secret, but my colleague should act, so it's okay to say it now."

   "There is a man named Pan Kui in your village. He has a motorcycle in his home recently. We received information that this car may be a smuggled car, so we came to investigate and arrest him if necessary."

Director Shu suddenly said: "Oh, what happened to Dakui's family? I know this motorcycle, it's a ghost brand, it's called Yamaha? I knew that this kid's car is not the right way. superior!"

   The two of them chatted casually.

  Wang Yi has a cold sweat on his back here!

   A family in the village has a motorcycle...

  Then the city public security bureau got information to investigate...

   What if a generator suddenly appeared on an island? !

   That is a diesel generator that can supply more than 100 households on an island!

  Wang Yi realized that he was too reckless and impulsive, and he thought of this era too simply!

   He thought about it worriedly, and got up and gave the food stamp to Huang Xiaohua.

   Huang Xiaohua looked at the food stamps and shed tears again: "The leader is a good person, we have to thank him - but, what is the use of the food stamps? Our family has no money!"

   The captain habitually squatted on the ground with his head between his knees.

   A long sigh!

   This incident touched Wang Yi a lot, and it also opened up an idea for him. There was a lot of food in his time-space house, but he always lacked a reasonable reason to send it out.

   Now he found the reason.

   He pulled up the captain and gathered the Wang family together, and whispered, "You want to buy cheap food, why don't you come to me?"

   "What's the use of looking for you?" Liu Hongmei said, "You are a college student, not a leader of a supply and marketing cooperative."

  Wang Xiangxiong sighed and said, "You can't even be the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperatives supply all townships and teams with cheap grain, and there are accounts."

  Wang Yi, who was about to say that he knew the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative, suddenly changed his tune. Lenovo Zhuang Mancang's words changed his mind and he had a new statement:

   "But I have something to do with it. The father of my classmate in Shanghai is the head of the customs. The customs seizes a lot of smuggled goods every year, including a lot of grain."

   "These grain processing channels are not only returned to the national treasury, but some defective grains will be processed on-site because they are inconvenient to transport."

   "Because my classmate and I have a good relationship, I can get this kind of food through his home. However, there are disciplines in the customs, and they can't handle it casually, so they have to buy it at the market price..."

   "That's good!" Wang Xiangxiong was excited, "Mr. Wang, your relationship is too hard, my God, you are amazing now!"

   "This is equivalent to commercial grain, right? Can't we also eat commercial grain like this?" Liu Hongmei was equally excited.

Wang Yi said: "Well, I'll take care of this matter. In the future, our team will buy food and come to me - but we have to keep this matter secret and cannot spread it out, because there is not much of this inferior food, and it will be supplied to our team. It's probably enough."

   "Also, this matter is a disciplinary sideline after all. We have to be careful about being reported. Once we are reported, we will not want to buy this kind of food in our team."

  Wang Dongxi immediately said: "Everyone knows this, don't worry, whoever leaks this news, we will let the secretary not write his name into the genealogy."

  Wang Dongfeng asked: "Mr. Wang, was the chicken you brought back last time with the leader?"

  Wang Yi said: "Yes, but it was bought in the market, and trading is already free in the Shanghai market."

  Wang Dongyang asked with concern: "Then are you going to Shanghai this time? Can you buy food this time?"

   "My relatives will be here in a few days. There is no white noodles at home. If there is white noodles, give me some first. If my relatives come, I'll greet you with a meal of noodles - get on the boat, dumplings, and get off the boat."

   Wang Yi thought about it, today is an opportunity.

   He said: "I don't need to go to Shanghai, I just need to go to the city and call my classmates and ask my classmates to arrange a car to bring them here."

  Wang Xiangxiong nodded and said, "This is convenient. I heard that customs have trucks to Wengzhou every day. Is it through them?"

   Wang Yi said vaguely: "I'm not sure about this yet, it depends on other people's arrangements."

"Let's go, I'll go to the city by boat first, you all go to dinner with Uncle Daxiong. After dinner, Brother Dongxi, take the dolls back and tell the secretary, and the others will go to the city pier. I have news to go to the pier. I'll find you, okay?"

   "Yes, it's too good." Wang Dongyang nodded hurriedly.

  Wang Xiangxiong was careful. He asked, "Mr. Wang, how much food can we prepare for us? How much should we prepare?"

Liu Hongmei slapped her thigh: "You don't need to calculate the account, just prepare the money as much as you can. Dad, how many years have you been cooking for the leader here? How many people do you know? Go and borrow some money, and we'll pay it back tomorrow. !"

  Wang Xiangxiong said: "Okay, how much does it cost? I have an apprentice whose family members work in a credit union, so I can borrow money there."

  Liu Hongmei said: "Then go and borrow it. Borrow as much as you can. After returning to the team, the cheap food can be exchanged for money, and it can be returned to others immediately."

  No need for Wang Yi to ponder, the couple arranged the food clearly!
