When Wang Quan rushed to Su Mingzhe's house, Su Mingzhe was alone in the Su family.
Su Mingxue was sent out by Su Mingzhe to deliver a letter again.
And Su’s mother, Jiang Cuiping, went to work.
When Su Mingzhe saw Wang Quan coming, he patted the re-tied leather goods:
"Let's go, put the leather goods on your back."
He had already collected the tiger skins and bear skins inside, and divided the remaining more than 100 skins into two parts.
More than fifty pieces of leather goods weigh more than one hundred kilograms even after being processed, such as tanning and dehydration.
It was a bit difficult to carry Wang Quan on his shoulders, but he gritted his teeth and did not hesitate at all.
Su Mingzhe himself also carried a thick bundle of leather goods, which was larger than Wang Quan's.
The two men went out carrying fur goods and came to the edge of Songji Avenue. They called a cart and went to the unified sales and purchasing store to sell goods.
When they arrived at the door of the store, the tall man they met last time when Su Mingzhe finished selling the goods was still there. After looking at the leather goods on the cart, his eyes glowed green.
However, the big man could keep his composure, and after looking at each other, he smiled slightly, and then watched helplessly as Su Mingzhe and Wang Quan moved the leather goods into the store.
More than a hundred leather goods were Su Mingzhe's harvest in the past month and a half.
There are good and bad furs here, and the prices vary greatly. I bought them for more than a thousand yuan.
Su Mingzhe changed hands and gave 20% to Wang Quan, without waiting for Wang Quan to refuse:
"There are also some bear skins and tiger skins. I have other sales channels, and they are more than what the store gives me, so you can just keep the money."
When Wang Quan heard this, he didn't refuse. He knew that Su Mingzhe valued justice over money, but he had a desire and need for money.
"Thank you, Brother Su."
After the two of them went out, Su Mingzhe took Wang Quan to purchase supplies.
This time, Su Mingzhe went to a machinery factory to purchase crushers, vacuum compressors and other machines.
There was a letter of certification from the village, the official seal of the Educated Youth Office, and Director Bai, the leader of the machinery factory, received the two of them.
However, when Su Mingzhe said what he wanted to buy, Director Bai said helplessly that although Jichun Machinery Factory was also a large factory, they were considered a branch factory and only had crushers and nothing else that Su Mingzhe wanted.
"A crusher will do. I also want to buy a diesel generator."
There is no electricity yet in Bai Ya Mountain Village.
Su Mingzhe couldn't sell the generator, so the crusher could only be used as a decoration when shipped back.
"The generator has it."
Director Bai quickly took Su Mingzhe and Wang Quan to the warehouse to see the actual items.
Su Mingzhe took a look and saw that they were all small and second-hand.
Fortunately, the price is not very expensive, only more than 2,000 yuan in total.
Su Mingzhe experimented on the spot and found that the machine was usable. He asked Director Bai for two barrels of oil. Then he paid the money on the spot and asked the machine factory to help maintain it. It will be sent to the Educated Youth Office in Jichun City next Thursday.
When Director Bai heard that it was just sent to the Educated Youth Office not far away, he immediately nodded and agreed.
After Su Mingzhe got the purchase contract, he said goodbye to Wang Quan and left.
After leaving the door of the machinery factory, Su Mingzhe smiled at Wang Quan and said:
"Would you like to come home with me and let us have a drink or go find your partner?"
"Brother Su, she and I have broken up."
Wang Quan blushed when Su Mingzhe said it, but he did not deny it:
"That was my previous girlfriend. When I went to jump in line, I thought it would take several years before I could come back, so I didn't want to delay her, so I broke up with her. Now I just want to see her."
"Then go, but let me tell you here, if the other party has a new partner, you have to turn around and leave. After all, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? We have such good conditions, there is no need
Hanged from a tree."
Su Mingzhe comforted Wang Quan and left him separately.
When I got home, Su Mingxue had already sent the letter back.
Just like last time, Wang Yafang and Yu Hong's families are preparing to send the written replies in a few days.
Xu Kai's parents both went to work.
Su Mingxue could only bring Xu Kai's home letter back.
"Give me the letter and I'll deliver it in the evening."
Su Mingzhe didn't take this matter seriously and started asking his brothers to make lunch.
Jiang Cuiping returned home before lunch was ready.
Seeing that the house was empty and there was nothing, Jiang Cuiping was a little curious:
"Boss, you didn't go shopping for supplies this morning?"
"I've gone and bought it. It's just machinery and equipment. I just need to wait until next Thursday to send it directly to the Educated Youth Office."
Su Mingzhe explained the situation once, and Jiang Cuiping said nothing more.
After lunch, Jiang Cuiping went to work, and Su Mingzhe went to a classmate's house, leaving Su Mingxue to look after the house.
It's almost the end of the year, and most of Su Mingzhe's classmates have jumped in line, while the remaining few either go to work or have other jobs to do.
Finally, Su Mingzhe searched around and found that only Zhou Bingyi was still at home.
"Mingzhe is here."
Zhou's mother, Li Suhua, was able to open the door. After seeing Su Mingzhe, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called her eldest son out.
Recently, their three children have been acting like guerrillas all day in order to avoid people from the street office.
Whenever guests came to the house, Zhou's mother would go out to receive them, while the three children stayed in the house. If there was the slightest movement, they would immediately run out of the back door.
Zhou Bingyi looked surprised when he saw his old classmate:
"Mingzhe, why did you come out to purchase supplies again?"
"The village is relatively poor and doesn't have anything. I have to be more diligent when I go out."
Su Mingzhe chuckled and entered the house carrying the gift.
Zhou Bingyi, his sister Zhou Rong, and his brother Zhou Bingyi were all at home, looking at Su Mingzhe with envy.
Like Su Mingzhe, the life of the educated youth who jumped in the queue was very good. He went home only half a year ago and went home twice.
"Isn't Dongmei here?"
After Su Mingzhe entered the door, he put down the gift, but was a little surprised when he didn't see Hao Dongmei, who was inseparable from Zhou Bingyi.
The two have been almost inseparable since they started dating.
Zhou Bingyi looked a little helpless when he heard Su Mingzhe's question:
"She has already left. The queue-jumping location is Wudaojiang Commune in Tonghua."
"So far? Did she ask for it, or was it assigned?"
Su Mingzhe knows this place.
In the TV series, this is where Hao Dongmei jumped in line.
And this also means that when Zhou Bingyi joins the Construction Corps, his marriage to Hao Dongmei will continue.
Zhou Bingyi said with a wry smile: "Because of her parents, she can only obey the assignment."
Su Mingzhe knew that the two would be reunited soon, so he didn't want to comfort the boy, so he changed the subject and asked:
"So how's your joining the army going?"
"It has been decided. I will leave during the Chinese New Year. My dad will also come back by then, and our family can be reunited again."
Zhou Bingyi may have thought that the separation was imminent, and the conversation was not very good.
Su Mingzhe had no choice but to look at Zhou Bingkun and asked him:
"Bingkun, I told you last time, have you made up your mind about whether you want to go to Baiya Mountain in Mulan County to join the queue to become an educated youth? If you are sure, tell me and I will go to the Educated Youth Office and I will definitely let you come.
In White Ya Mountain, I am confident that I will transfer you back within three years."
"Brother Mingzhe, can you really bring me back?"
Zhou Bingkun was very moved last time, but he was timid, and both Zhou Rong and her mother were afraid that Zhou Bingkun would be bullied by people who were unfamiliar with him.
After all, Su Mingzhe's character was not very strong in the eyes of the Zhou family.
"If what I said is not true, when I come to your house from now on, I will stand on my head and hold a big top!"
Su Mingzhe now wants to lure Zhou Bingkun to White Ya Mountain. In this case, he will have a reason to continue to come to Zhou's house and take care of Zhou Rong after Zhou Bingyi goes to build the corps.
Zhou Bingkun looked at his mother, and he was really moved.
However, Li Suhua still did not nod. She believed that she should at least discuss this matter with her man.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon and it was already dark.
Zhou's mother originally wanted to stay with Su Mingzhe for dinner, but Su Mingzhe took out a letter from his pocket and said that he had to deliver letters to others in the evening, so he would not stay for dinner.
After leaving Zhou's house, Su Mingzhe went straight to Xu Kai's house.
Xu Kai's family lives on the north side of Songji Avenue.
To get to that area from Zhou's house, you need to walk out of the Guangzi District, and then walk along Songji Avenue for a while before you can enter the Xu's small Western-style building.
According to the regular working hours for factory leaders, workers don’t get off work until 5:30.
Therefore, when Su Mingzhe arrived at Xu Kai's house, the Xu family was still in darkness.
In desperation, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to turn to a nearby cinema and plan to go in and watch a movie to kill some time.
Currently showing is an old movie "Heroes and Sons", which Su Mingzhe has watched many times.
After the movie was over, Su Mingzhe looked at his watch. It was almost six o'clock.
"Xu Kai's parents should be back by this time."
Su Mingzhe came to Xu's house again, and Xu Kai's house was indeed brightly lit.
Xu Kai's parents were originally high-ranking officials in the city, but were later sent to work in factories, and the waiters assigned by the government were transferred.
Currently, only Xu Kai's parents live in the Xu family.
Su Mingzhe came to the door and knocked.
After a while, Xu Kai's mother came over and opened the door. She obviously still remembered Su Mingzhe, and her eyes lit up:
"Are you Xiao Su?"
"Hello, aunt, I'm here to deliver a letter from Xu Kai's family."
Su Mingzhe said, took the letter out of his pocket and handed it over, then smiled:
"I will go back to Mulan County next Friday. If aunt wants to write a reply, she can send it to my home first, and I will take it back then."
"Thank you, Xiao Su."
Xu Kai's mother said thank you and wanted to invite Su Mingzhe in for a glass of water, but Su Mingzhe declined.
"Goodbye, aunt."
"Xiao Su, walk slowly."
Xu Kai's mother watched Su Mingzhe go away, then closed the door and returned to the house.
"Old Ding, who is it?"
Xu Kai's father was cooking and was a little surprised when his wife came back after going out for a while.
"It's the educated youth who is with Xiao Kai and has sent us a letter."
When Xu Kai's mother was alone with her husband, she also dropped her cold demeanor, checked one side of the envelope, and then tore it open and read.
Xu Kai's home letter mainly reports on safety, and by the way, the news that he will not be able to come back for the New Year.
Xu Kai had already discussed this matter with his parents when he came back last time.
Later, in the letter, Xu Kai talked about what happened to him at the Educated Youth Point.
Xu Kai's mother looked at it again and frowned.
Xu Kai's father thought that his daughter was in trouble outside, so he quickly came over to write a letter. He took the letter and read it from beginning to end:
"Old Ding, isn't this wonderful, my daughter? Why are you looking so sad?"
"You piece of wood."
Xu Kai's mother scooped up the food and put it on the dining table. She was too lazy to talk to her man about women's thoughts.
"What's wrong with me?"
Xu Kai's father read the letter back and forth twice.
After all, he had gone through a special period, and Xu Kai's father quickly noticed the problem.
In this letter home, Xu Kai reports on safety and talks about himself, which is less than the length of a piece of letter paper.
However, the later description of life in the educated youth camp, especially about a guy named "Su Mingzhe", turned out to be very long and filled with three pieces of letter paper.
"Old Ding, do you think our daughter has fallen in love with this guy named Su?"
