Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

"Uncle! Uncle!"

In a greenhouse in Yuncheng Mining, a group of people were gathering around a giant stone to study the texture on the outside, trying to judge the situation inside through the python patterns and moss.

This group of people includes mining workers, research institutes responsible for exploration, and mining leaders.

One of the men in brown overalls was holding a flashlight and squinting his eyes to look into a small opening in the stone. He seemed to hear a familiar voice in his ears.

Zhang Yue looked back subconsciously, and across the gap in the crowd, he saw his niece waving to him.

He was stunned, hurriedly said a few words to the people around him, and strode outside.

"Tongtong, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Tong, and standing beside her were Yu Luyuan and An Nian.

"Uncle, I'll bring my friends over to see you."

It is obvious that Zhang Tong has a very close relationship with her uncle, and there is a sense of coquettishness when speaking.

"Do you want to get some building materials?"

Zhang Tong nodded: "Yes. Uncle, this is An Nian. She is a very powerful doctor. She cured me of the skin disease on my face."

After hearing what she said, Zhang Yue's attitude immediately changed.

He smiled gratefully at An Nian and said, "It turns out to be Dr. An, welcome!"

"This is her lover, the battalion commander of Unit 819."

battalion commander!This position is not low!

Zhang Yue stretched out his hand towards Yu Luyuan: "Hello, Battalion Commander Yu."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you this time." Yu Luyuan shook hands with him politely.

"It's okay, it's okay. You are kind to Tongtong. As an uncle, I must treat her well. What kind of building materials do you want to see when you come here this time?"

Zhang Yue asked with a smile.

"Uncle, let me tell you." Zhang Tong rolled his eyes and leaned close to his ear.

After listening to Zhang Tong's words, Zhang Yue's expression changed slightly.

"It stands to reason that I should comply with such a request..."

Seeing the hesitation on his face, An Nian said, "Uncle Zhang, don't be embarrassed. It doesn't matter if you can't buy it. We can think of other ways."

"Oh, it's not that you can't buy it."

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Zhang Yue quickly waved his hand.

"Come with me, this is not the place to talk."

As he spoke, he took off the hat on his head, dusted himself off, and after cleaning it, he hung the hat on the wall and led the three of them out of the shed.

Several people entered Zhang Yue's office.

"In previous years, our mining industry has distributed some rough stone quotas to workers. It is not something that everyone wants. It is mainly used as a welfare payment to save some money and food."

It's a helpless thing to say, because everything distributed by biscuit factories, canneries, and clothing factories can be eaten and used.

Their jade factory distributes some broken stones, and everyone is reluctant, but there is nothing they can do. If you don’t want them, they won’t reissue them.

Most people can only hold their noses and admit it. After the stone is moved home, some people privately exchange some food and drink with other acquaintances without paying close attention.

“However, starting from this year, our raw stone mine has produced less and less jade, and private exchanges have become difficult to carry out.

I don’t want to trick you…”

Zhang Tong stomped his feet unhappily: "Uncle, can't you help pick something good?!"

The corners of Zhang Yue's mouth twitched, and he was quite helpless: "If your uncle and I have such ability, why do I need to suffer here?"

Wouldn’t it be a long time ago to go to a research institute and become an expert?

Zhang Tong bit his lip: "What should we do?"

Zhang Yue frowned for a long time.

An Nian saw him in trouble and said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, all you need to do is take me to take a look at the stone. I don't blame you if there is jade in it. It's my own fault."

Zhang Yue didn't say anything. He reached into his pocket and touched again and again.

Yu Lu saw him like this and took out a pack of giant pandas from his pocket.

"Uncle Zhang, please smoke my cigarette."

Looking at the black and white giant panda printed on the cigarette shell handed to him, Zhang Yue understood the confidence of the two young people in front of him.

This person is really rich and powerful!

The giant panda cigarettes specially designed for leaders can be smoked at any time!

Zhang Yue reached for a cigarette, but did not smoke it. Instead, he carefully put it behind his ear, looked at An Nian and spoke tentatively.

"Now the price of exchanging rough stones privately is [-] cents per pound, and a small stone costs more than ten yuan. It's not worth it."

It turned out that the other party was thinking about this, and An Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Yu Luyuan and laughed.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm not short of money. If you can help find rough stones that can be exchanged, I'm willing to exchange them!"

"Dr. An, jade is not that easy to prescribe. We have prescribed hundreds of stones this week, and none of them have jade in them."

Zhang Yue was worried that the two young men in front of him didn't know the rarity of jade, so he simply took out the data and told them.

“Before, our jade mine was relatively rich. Basically, we could get one piece for ten yuan, and the price of jade was about 20 yuan.

Now the jade mines have gradually withered, and you may not be able to get a piece for 100 yuan, and the price has become [-]..."

200 yuan, how many people don’t have this amount in their savings!

He paused and looked at An Nian.

"Did you just watch "Jade Love"? Although jade can last forever, the relationship between two people does not need a stone to prove it."

What is "Jade Love"?

A trace of doubt flashed in An Nian's eyes.

Zhang Tong explained to her: "It was a movie released last month. It tells the story of a couple who separated due to war. Years later, the husband recognized the jade pendant hanging around his daughter's neck and found his wife. The movie is very touching."

"Is that so..."

She really hasn't seen it yet.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm not pursuing it blindly, I'm just very curious about jade and want to buy a few rough stones and have a look."

An Nian looked at Yu Luyuan with a smile, his face full of happiness.

"I usually have nothing to do. I like to do some carving in my free time. Jade carving is my best. My mother left me some jade before, but I have used it up, and now I want to find some new ones."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Yue to refuse, An Nian continued: "Uncle Zhang, can you help me? I really want to buy some."

Zhang Yue frowned: "What if the stones you buy home don't contain jade?"

He stopped talking about rough stones now and directly used words like "stone", hoping to break An Nian's fantasy.

"It doesn't matter." Yu Luyuan said with a smile, "Niannian and I don't have much daily expenses, and we have kept our allowances. We can still afford this loss."

"That's right." An Nian nodded vigorously, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I will never blame you."

Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Tong: "Tongtong, what do you think?"

Zhang Tong thought for a while: "I don't know the output of jade, but since Dr. An and Battalion Commander Yu said so, uncle, can you help me?"

"Ah, okay."

Zhang Yue sighed, knowing that they had made up their mind.

"You guys come with me to the residential area. They have a lot of stones stored in their homes. I'll show you them one by one. Let's first say that this is not a business, it's just an exchange between friends."

An Nian smiled and nodded: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, we know."

Yuncheng is still conservative and does not dare to directly conduct business.

However, there are policies above and countermeasures below, and their exchange is also a very good alternative.

-

An Nian and Yu Luyuan followed him to the residential area.

Zhang Yue obviously had a choice in his mind, and he bypassed two buildings and came to the third floor of the last building.

After knocking on the door, a yawning middle-aged man opened the door.

"Lao Zhang, why are you coming here now?"

"They are relatives from my hometown. They want to exchange some rocks for fun."

Zhang Yue turned sideways and let the other party see An Nian and the other three standing beside him.

The middle-aged man's expression showed joy when he saw it: "Okay, okay, come in and sit down!"

Zhang Yue lowered his voice and said to the three of them: "Don't talk too much later, just listen to me."

He had already explained it to An Nian and Yu Luyuan on the way, and now he repeated it again.

An Nian nodded obediently: "I know, thank you Uncle Zhang."

"Ah."

After entering the room, An Nian looked at the furnishings in front of him.

The house is very crowded, but there are two beds placed end to end in the corner, which is obviously the living room.

The quilt on one of the beds was messy, and it was obvious that the middle-aged man had just gotten up from here.

Now he took out many large and small stones from under the bed.

"Look, all the rough stones have been here in the past two months. The factory has not been very efficient recently, and the quota given is a bit too much."

Stone, even if there may be jade in it, what's the use of it?It's inedible!

The middle-aged man is tall but very thin. Judging from the furnishings at home, it seems that there are many people in the family, and the family conditions are naturally not good.

"I'll take a look."

An Nian squatted down and looked at the stones carefully.

Yu Luyuan squatted down and reached out to hold the stone for her to facilitate her inspection.

It only took a few seconds for An Nian to finish looking at the dozens of stones in front of him. Three of them contained jade.

She looked happy. The probability was much higher than digging through the rubble pile in the morning.

Yu Luyuan saw that her expression changed and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Like it?"

He asked cooperatively.

An Nian smiled and nodded: "These stones look pretty good."

After saying this, she did not stand up immediately, but pretended to be patient and looked at every stone.

The middle-aged man waited for a long time, feeling anxious, so he stood aside and whispered to Zhang Yue.

He thought he was careful enough. In fact, both An Nian and Yu Luyuan heard it clearly. However, they could understand the seller's psychology and were not angry.

After An Nian finished reading, he nodded towards Yu Luyuan and stood up with him.

The middle-aged man immediately asked: "How is it? Is there anyone you like?"

Zhang Yue also smiled: "Dr. An, if you like it, I will make it cheaper for Lao Meng."

The middle-aged man patted his chest: "Absolutely nothing to say! You are Brother Zhang's relatives, and we are a family. As long as you like it, I will definitely give you the lowest price in exchange."

He also spoke impeccably.

An Nian clapped his hands. He had touched a lot of stones just now and they were covered with dust.

"Uncle Zhang, can we wash our hands first?"

"Of course!" The middle-aged man hurried forward, "Come on, let me get you some water. I was also negligent, and I forgot about this."

"Here, wipe your hands with this towel."

After An Nian and Yu Luyuan washed and wiped their hands, they walked back to the living room.

An Nian said directly: "Master Meng, I really like these stones of yours. How about you just set a price? I want to buy them all."

She was not short of money, and she didn't really want to use her spiritual power to cheat and pick out the only few jade-bearing stones.

It's better to buy them all directly, so that you can have peace of mind.

Of course, the premise is that the other party doesn't speak loudly.

"You...you want to buy them all...no, exchange them all and go?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and turned to look at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was also shocked, and his body that was leaning against the wall stood up straight.

He glanced at his niece and asked silently: Are these two so rich?

Zhang Tong blinked: Anyway, there should be no shortage of money...

She didn't know how much money An Nian and Yu Luyuan had in savings, but she knew that what An Nian wore and used was not cheap. Not to mention anything else, the woolen coat she was wearing didn't cost 200 yuan in a department store. Can't take it off!

Going forward, An Nian came to their house several times when he was treating her. Every time she saw An Nian, she was wearing a different dress.

Which of these pens is not money? !

Zhang Yue felt a little more relieved after receiving the information from his niece.

"Lao Meng, just look at the asking price. Let's start with the ugly words! You can't raise the price randomly. I know the current market price.

If it is too high, my relatives will be slaughtered as fat sheep, and our friends will have nothing to do! "

"Alas, alas, how is that possible!"

The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly, using such actions to calm his racing heart, and his mind was spinning faster than ever.

This is his two-month quota, which accounts for half of his salary, which is 30 yuan.

According to this calculation, as long as these stones are sold for 30 yuan, he will not lose money.

but……

He secretly looked at An Nian and Yu Luyuan.

They both look quite rich, so they should be able to give a higher price, right?

or……

"I won't say anything about fifty cents per pound. You can just pay 60 yuan for these stones and take them away!"

Now, he is too lazy to say anything about the exchange. Anyway, there are only five of them here, all related to this deal. If they report it, none of the five people can escape!

"60 yuan..." An Nian repeated in a low voice.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth: "Yes, 60 yuan!"

An Nian didn't have much experience in bargaining, but he also knew that agreeing directly was not a wise choice.

If you agree too quickly, the other party may feel that they have been cheated by you.

She turned to look at Yu Luyuan: "Yuanyuan, the price seems a bit high... How much is your monthly allowance..."

Yu Luyuan laughed. He understood what she meant after just one look at each other, and spoke cooperatively.

"Well, it's a bit too expensive. How about we stop buying so much and buy half of it?"

"No!" The middle-aged man was a little anxious.

These stones take up space at home, and selling them would be of great benefit to him.

"Lao Zhang, tell me too! They are all relatives of your family!"

Zhang Yue thought for a while and said, "Dr. An, it is definitely the most cost-effective to buy it in a package."

"Yes, yes, yes." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Yue said: "But Lao Meng, your price is a bit too high. How about you both take a step back and just cover it for 50 yuan?"

"This one……"

The middle-aged man makes things difficult.

Yu Luyuan sighed: "Master Meng, if you feel embarrassed, forget it. We have just seen your family, and we really want to see more."

Hearing what he said, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said: "Sure! Lao Zhang, I will listen to you! Take away the 50 yuan!"

After saying that, he looked at An Nian and Yu Luyuan again.

"You two don't need to go to other people's places, their stones are definitely not as good as mine.

I am directly responsible for the quarrying, and I pick the stones first.I can’t say that every one of the stones I picked out contains jade, but the probability of finding jade is definitely much higher than theirs! "

An Nian nodded in his mind, he was not boasting.

According to what Zhang Yue said before, during this period, even 100 yuan of stone would not produce a piece of jade.

The probability of finding jade from the rough stones here is as high as the sky!
