60s white-eyed wolf

When Aunt Qian and Mr. Qian returned home, they were also overjoyed to see Fu Gui at home.

Compared with Fugui's last visit, both of them have lost a lot of weight. Whether it is the school or the factory, although the food is rationed, the amount is much smaller than before, and the food is also mixed with a lot of "grain substitutes".Sweet potato stalks, sweet potato leaves, various dried vegetables, and bran are added to rice noodles, and ground into flour to make cakes and steamed buns. Not to mention the shabby appearance, the taste is hard to describe, rough and astringent.

It is this kind of food, the supply is also very tight, even Qingzhu and his students' rations have been reduced.

The newspapers began to publicize and encourage people to take root in the countryside, reduce the number of people in cities and towns, and mobilize and resettle them to the countryside.All units have begun to remove personnel, streamline and reduce non-production personnel, and enrich the production front.

Although the recent mobilization and resettlement are all "new workers" who have recently moved from the countryside to the city in the past two years, no one can say for sure what the future situation will be like.The agricultural machinery factory is a large factory in the county. This month, it has mobilized and "placed" nearly [-] employees. The workers in various workshops and production links are a little panicked, for fear that the downsizing will be reduced to their own heads.

Material difficulties not only brought about fluctuations in thinking, but also affected people's bodies. Most of the workshops were full of strength and tall men. They were strong enough to eat and work. , Walking is always floating, even if you move an iron casting, you will accidentally smash your feet.

Qian Enhai is the workshop director of the foundry workshop, and he manages dozens of people, big and small. He has to do the ideological work of the workers, overcome fluctuations, and ensure safe production. His head was in a state of desperation, and there was a string of blisters around his mouth.

As a small cadre himself, his salary is a few yuan more than that of ordinary workers, and the burden on his family is not too heavy. The rations came to help, of course, his complexion was not much better.

Although he is busy and under pressure at work, he still takes the things entrusted by his wife's natal nephew to heart.

One is that they are real relatives of the family, and the entrustment is not something illegal or criminal, and the other is that they are "eat people with a short mouth and soft hands", and they ate rich and noble nephews. Pork, as an aunt, how can he not worry about the child's affairs.Besides, it is not easy to get meat these days.

Although Fugui's nephew is young, his thoughts and ways are a bit wild!

Helping if you can, is a good thing that benefits both parties.

It's just that he works in a factory, and most of the people he deals with are rough and rough. Even if there are any old things in the house, few can get them out.What grandpa's dog feeding bowl, the dining table from the Qing Dynasty...they can talk about these things, and he doesn't have the face to mention them to Fugui!

On the contrary, my old man has always liked antiques. Although he is not good at it, there are also a bunch of arty old guys, and the family has more or less received a few old things.Now that I can't get enough to eat, instead of leaving these for my children and grandchildren, it's better to exchange them for real food and fill the children's stomachs first.

Old gentlemen also want to save face, they don't want to meet face-to-face with those who exchange things, and they don't want to bargain and lose their share. Things are temporarily stored in Qian's house, so that Mr. Qian can look after them, and they can exchange them for dozens of catties of coarse grains.

The father and son of the Qian family exchanged a few words with Fugui's uncle and nephew, and they didn't go out of their way, and immediately led Fugui to the back room to look at the "goods". Don't allow him to think about anything else, it's better to let him get involved less.Some things are also difficult to explain.

Mr. Qian carefully took out seven or eight things from under the cabinet, and lined them up on the bed, including gold and jade accessories and antique ornaments.

Although Cao Fugui doesn't understand these things, he still recognizes jade, and he is happy to see it. Half of the eight items are jade pieces, yellow, white, white with green, and several jade ornaments. Although they have different shapes, new and old, they all look jade-colored and smooth, full of antiquity.

He can't say whether it's true or not, he only knows that these jades are comfortable to look at, especially the string of chicken oil yellow bracelets inside, each of which is the size of a thumb belly, golden yellow like honey, oily, and seems to be embedded with silk. Gold thread, very beautiful.

"This topaz is good, it's so beautiful! Can I get it?" Cao Fugui couldn't help but want to touch it, this string is so cute.

Mr. Qian's smiling face was a little stiff, he gave a dry cough, and said in a low voice, "Fugui, this is beeswax."

The old man is a little worried, he can't even tell the difference between jade and beeswax, this kid still wants to do antique business, don't even lose his pants!

"Hehe, just kidding, haha—"

Fugui laughed a few times, and quickly praised Grandpa Qian's good eyesight. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, isn't there an expert to check it out? It's never wrong to leave professional things to professional people.

What's more, isn't it just a few catties of grain and a piece of jade!With a piece of jade, at least a few thousand catties of wheat can be grown. The cost of this business is almost zero, and the profit is so high that capitalists would dare to kill and set fire if they found out. How could he be afraid of losing money?Besides, even if Mr. Qian was not sure, he picked up the jade and threw it on the energy tank, he should have a clear idea of ​​how much energy it has. Which liar is so clever that he can deceive people, and he can still deceive the fairy treasure to Lianlu?

As for the other pieces of beeswax and antiques, if you like them, you can collect them all. Maybe they also have aura?Even if there is no aura, hehehe, in the world of Qiao Yingnian in Mengli, antiques and treasures are so expensive.

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

Now I have saved some antiques, and I have passed it for more than ten or twenty years, and I will take them out in the golden age, tsk tsk!Brother Fugui thinks it's hard not to be rich!Where is the little food on hand?

Just how to change it... He still has to weigh it up. For other things, Mr. Qian can help him set the price. For jade, he must ask Lianlu.

"Grandpa Qian, I want all the things. Please help me check the other things and see the price. I still have to take a closer look at this jade. They have special requirements for what they accept. If they meet the standards, the price will be favorable. .”

Mr. Qian didn't ask about the special request, and he took his son away from him thoughtfully, leaving Fugui to fiddle with it alone, and the two of them talked with their second uncle in the outside room.After waiting for ten minutes, Cao Fugui came out beaming, shouting good things.

"... for this piece of white jade, I will give you sixty catties of grain bricks; for this piece of white jade, I will give you eighty catties; for this piece of light yellow jade, you will give me one hundred and twenty catties; for the one with gray spots, I will give you two. Ten catties. What do you think?"

Cao Fugui held a handful of jade in his hand, like a peddler selling gadgets. He took out each piece and set a price.He didn't miss the last piece of yellow beeswax, and quietly put it in the energy tank for a test, haha!Sure enough, it is also a good thing, with 55 grids of aura energy, no wonder he was so happy when he saw it, no matter if it is jade or not!

For this piece of yellow beeswax, he gave a super high price of 150 catties of grain plus five catties of meat.

Mr. Qian was also a little shocked. Fugui seemed to know nothing about antiques, but he didn't know how to identify them, especially the few pieces of jade that were picked out. Not to mention the origin of those things, if the inheritance is orderly, the quality of the jade alone In terms of its own quality, the price he gave couldn't be more reasonable.

If it was a peaceful year, these jades would not be able to buy tens of hundreds of catties of grain, but now there is a shortage of grain everywhere, and even if you have money, you can't buy extra grain.The society is not happy to "play" these things, and keep the gold and jade to play, so that the children and grandchildren will starve to death?Which one can't bear to go.

Originally, a few of the old buddies had said that they could be exchanged for a dozen or twenty catties, but now that they are rich and the price is generous, he can be regarded as giving people peace of mind.

However, the food brought by Fugui is not enough, is it?

"Okay, the price you gave Fugui is kind, and I can help you find more of these things... Ah, you still want to charge it?"

"Receive it! The food I brought today is not enough. I will go to a friend in the county town to get some food tomorrow. Aunt Qian will help me collect it. It is best to collect more. There is still some food in the house. , it’s really not enough, if I go up the mountain to get a few big guys, it’s enough.”

Fu Gui's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and he made a deal with Grandpa Qian again and again, the more you charge, the more the better!He will bring more food next time, but there are too many people in the yard here, so it is best to find a secluded place to trade and store food.

Aunt Qian thought about it, and immediately mentioned a suitable place.

Their factory has an agricultural machinery service station on the outskirts of the city, which is in charge of maintenance services for rural farmers. Later, there were not enough professionals, so it became a waste warehouse, and no one took care of it. The grass in the yard grew taller than his legs. .Old Chen, the warehouse manager, goes around at the end of each month to count the big numbers, and the rest of the time is locked and no one is there.If you need to use it temporarily, you can ask the old head Chen to borrow the key, pay some rent to the factory and register it, and no one will take care of it.

This is good.

Cao Fugui doesn't like the excitement anymore, he just likes this kind of remote place, which is convenient to do things.Immediately, I made an appointment with my aunt to bring the rest of the grain tomorrow and put it in the warehouse, and then ask Grandpa Qian to share it with others according to the agreed price.He took the jade away first.

After deciding on a good thing, Fugui let go of one worry, and played happily with his two cousins ​​without worrying about it.

Listening to the two of them murmuring, while having fun, they ran to the side of the back room to smell the smell of meat from time to time, looking forward to it, as if they had been hungry for eight lifetimes.

Fugui frowned, rubbed their heads, and asked Qingzhu: "Aren't you full at school?"

Qingzhu nodded vigorously, saying that the ration in the school was not enough to eat, and half a catty of coarse grains without oil and water would not fill him up, and he would growl when he walked around, and everyone was weak.Not to mention eating meat, I haven't even smelled the smell of meat for a long time. The last time I ate meat was the wild boar brought by Fu Gui's cousin. It was delicious!

Qingshi was still young and didn't go to school, so he opened his eyes wide and listened to his brother's sad face, and when he heard Rourou, he nodded desperately in response.

The smell of stewed meat in the back room gradually wafted out. The aunt was boiling the bear meat brought by Fugui in hot water, and it was stewing with chestnuts.Both are difficult to boil, but they have to be stewed for several hours, which can make the two little ones salivate for a long time, looking forward to the autumn water.

The grandma of the Qian family was talking with her neighbors outside, and Liu Xiang's sister-in-law next door quietly came to the door with a small bamboo basket. Knowing that two relatives from the countryside had come to the Qian family, they were tall and belly, and she was afraid that it would be a temporary embarrassment. A pancake made of mixed sweet potato leaves is here, help me.

"...I really love you."

Grandma Qian was holding the food, her heart was hot and her eyes were hot.

Wang Zhiqing, the man of Mrs. Liuxiang, also works in the agricultural machinery factory. He is a fourth-level technician in the metalworking workshop. His salary of 4 yuan a month is slightly lower than that of Qian Enhai, the workshop director. , After a full month of work, it is a few yuan more than the old money.

The money is a bit more, but the burden on the Wang family is also heavy. Although the parents in the country are not around, the younger brothers and sisters will take care of them. The boss must have to pay for it!There are four children with four mouths in the family, and the half-child eats the poor old man, and life is also very tight on weekdays.

Wang Zhiqing has a good relationship with Lao Qian, and Mrs. Liu Xiang is also a family member from the countryside without a job. She is easy to talk to, and she likes grandma Qian.Don't look at Mrs. Liuxiang who always smiles and doesn't speak when encountering problems on weekdays. I really didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic and willing to help.

With such a good neighbor, Auntie Qian didn't tell her the truth, the truth is that life in the countryside is indeed difficult, but the relatives at home are fine, Brother Fugui came to the house not to play the autumn wind, and brought some local products.She brought a bowl full of chestnuts and stuffed them into Liuxiang's sister-in-law's basket, and said vaguely, if there are any old things in the house, she can think of a way to exchange them for food, but she must be strict and don't leak the news.

Mrs. Liuxiang went back to the house in a trance with a basket of chestnuts, remembering the old things Grandma Qian said, oops!There seems to be a very antique bowl in the old house!

Grandma Qian sent her neighbors out, and when she returned to the house, she saw Brother Fugui abducting her family's two precious grandchildren.

"... There are pheasants and rabbits on the mountain, and you can soak in hot springs in the chestnut forest. My grandma's skill in frying tofu is superb. The tofu made from homemade soybeans is fragrant and tender. Anyway, your primary school is not open yet. , it’s better to come to the country to live for a while, and eat enough meat!”

Brother Fugui held Qingzhu and smiled, and didn't let go of Qingshi who was jumping anxiously beside him: "Little Shitou is also here, and I'll take you two brothers up the mountain to play, okay?"

Qingzhu Qingshi was so fooled by him that his saliva almost turned into a waterfall, Qiqi turned his head and begged to Grandma: "Grandma! I'm going to the countryside."
