Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Lu Ye chatted with the old man for a while.

From the conversation, Lu Ye learned that Mr. Lin used to work in the Education Commission and is now retired at home.

I was buying a birthday cake for my grandson yesterday when I had a bike accident.

The old man was very talkative. He took Lu Ye to talk about the resumption of the college entrance examination, education reform, geography and humanities, and national culture.

Lu Ye kept talking until his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched.

However, Lu Ye also admired Mr. Lin's profound knowledge.

Compared to the many 'experts' and 'beasts' Lu Ye had seen in his previous life, he was many times stronger.

I looked at the alarm clock on the table.

Lu Ye said, "Old man, it's too late today. You should have a good rest. I will go back first. I will come to see you when I have time."

Mr. Lin lay on the bed, unable to move his lower body. He raised his arm and held Lu Ye's hand, still looking unsatisfied: "Then we have a deal. You have to come when you are free."

"Sure." Lu Ye replied.

Lu Ye stood up and said goodbye.

"Yue'e, go see Lu Xiaoyou off."

"Ah."

"Comrade Lu, I'll see you off."

Lin Zhiqiang's daughter-in-law Wang Yue'e stood up and walked Lu Ye to the stairs.

Old Master Lin was having a great time chatting just now, but now that Lu Ye was gone, he felt his mouth was dry.

"Give me some water."

"You old thing, you're already injured like this, but you don't even take a good rest, and you're still pulling me around."

"You don't understand. Don't underestimate Xiao Lu's youth. He's very knowledgeable. I just talked to him about the humanities of more than a dozen provinces, and he was able to follow along."

"And I asked him what he thought about the resumption of the college entrance examination. What did he say? He actually said: 'The foundation of a strong nation, the wings for its soaring flight.' Listen, is this something an ordinary farmer would say?"

"This little Lu is really interesting."

Old Master Lin pursed his lips, still recalling the conversation he had just had with Lu Ye.

'The foundation of a strong nation and the wings for its soaring flight.'

"Well said."

the other side.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Ye went to the hardware store on the street to take a look.

Although electric grinders are sold here, they are not cheap. A small electric grinder costs 180 yuan, and you need 40 industrial coupons.

Money is easy to get, but industrial coupons can only be obtained from ticket scalpers.

Although Xiao Qiezibao said that stone-ground sesame paste is more fragrant, the output is small and it is labor-intensive. It didn't matter before because he didn't have the money, but now that he has the conditions, Lu Ye still plans to switch to an electric grinder.

This way, the eggplant buns can be made a lot lighter.

When he arrived outside the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Ye quickly found the ticket scalper he had been working with.

Lu Ye is now almost Zhao Qing's largest supplier of food coupons. He can provide him with hundreds of kilograms of food coupons every three to five days. He then resells them and makes a lot of money.

Therefore, every time Zhao Qing saw Lu Ye, he was extremely enthusiastic, as if he was meeting his bread and butter.

The reason is naturally to maintain a good relationship with Lu Ye, so as to prevent such a big client from being poached by others.

"Here I come, bro."

"It's so hot out here, brother, you must be feeling hot. Wait a minute, I'll go get you a bottle of soda."

Zhao Qing called him "brother" all the time with great enthusiasm. People who didn't know him would definitely think that this person was his real brother.

Lu Ye waved his hand: "Come back, I have something to talk to you about."

Zhao Qing hurriedly stopped and turned back: "What's the matter, brother? Just tell me what you want."

"Do you have any industrial coupons?" Lu Ye asked in a low voice.

Zhao Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have exactly 50 tickets, enough to buy a bicycle."

Industrial coupons are different from TV tickets, bicycle tickets, and radio tickets.

Exclusive tickets such as TV tickets and bicycle tickets usually only require one ticket, and you can use it to purchase designated items with money.

But industrial bonds are not.

Industrial coupons can be used to purchase industrial products without any restrictions. In other words, industrial coupons can be used to purchase both televisions and sewing machines.

However, the number of industrial vouchers required varies depending on the value of the goods.

For example, a bicycle requires 50 industrial coupons, and a sewing machine requires 100 industrial coupons.

Industrial coupons were like wages, and each worker was given one every month. Everyone hoarded them like treasures.

"I'll take whatever price you ask for."

"Brother, if you want it, there's no need to talk about price. Just take the 50 and use them."

Zhao Qing was very generous. He quickly took out a stack of yellow industrial coupons worth one cent from his canvas bag and handed them directly to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye took it in his hand without counting it.

Zhao Qing would definitely not lie to him about the quantity.

"You also spent money to collect it, how can I take it for free? Tell me how much is it?"

Zhao Qing grinned and laughed.

"I charge 30 cents a ticket. If you insist on paying me, then just give me the cost price. That's 15 in total."

50 industrial coupons can replace one bicycle ticket.

The price of a bicycle ticket is basically around 15 to 20 yuan, so Zhao Qing didn't ask him for more money.

However, Lu Ye knew in his heart that Zhao Qing definitely didn't come here for 3 cents.

This is how business works. Everyone should leave some room for each other. Only when there is profit can the business be stable and long-lasting.

"Row."

Lu Ye put away the industrial coupons, took out some money, counted out 15 yuan and handed it to Zhao Qing.

"That's perfect, brother."

Zhao Qing said this and then put the money away.

After buying some peach cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Ye returned to Dongsheng Village carrying the paper bag.

The college entrance examination is coming soon.

Su Mengyao, with the idea that sharpening a knife before battle is better than nothing, now studies very late every day. Sometimes when she is hungry at night, she just eats cold steamed buns.

Lu Ye was planning to buy these two pounds of peach cakes to feed Su Mengyao at night.

Old Du’s family.

Du Dawei, who was rejected by Lu Ye, sat at the dining table.

Bliss...

He took a sip of hot liquor and slammed the cup heavily on the table.

There was a clang sound.

When Du Dawei got angry, the other people gathered around the table didn't even dare to breathe.

Wang Xiulan even put away the chopsticks she was using to pick up the food and silently ate the white rice in the bowl.

Lu Tianci sat in a corner and remained silent.

After living in Lao Du's house for so long, he has already adapted to life here.

"Tianci, your relationship with Lu Ye is not very good, right?" Du Dawei suddenly said.

"Ah? Well, Lu Ye is a narrow-minded person. He always complains that my mother doesn't take care of him. My relationship with him is not very good." Lu Tianci didn't understand and responded in a low voice.

"He is your stepbrother, can't you say anything to him?" Du Dawei stared at Lu Tianci.

Although he suffered a setback at the hands of Lu Ye, the opportunity was rare and Du Dawei still didn't want to give up.

After all, Lu Tianci is also a member of the old Lu family. Although many people in the village know that Lu Tianci's mother treats Lu Ye harshly, Du Dawei still wants to try from Lu Tianci's side.

"That...that's not entirely true."

Being stared at by Du Dawei like that, Lu Tianci felt a little flustered.

He just came back from get off work and doesn't know anything.

At this moment, no one could figure out what Du Dawei meant, so when answering, he tried to be as ambiguous as possible, leaving room for what he said next.
