Cheng Liguo received the approval slip, went to get daily necessities and some rations, and then went to the coal supply point to get coal. He borrowed a trolley and pushed it five times before he finished pulling the briquettes.
"Brother Yuan, here are these coals for you, and these sausages, which were sent by my daughter. Give them a try."
Cheng Liguo brought the last two carts of coal to Yuan Guangming, ate his food rations for half a month, and slept on his fire bed for half a month. He had to pay back everything he deserved. It was not easy for everyone.
Yuan Guangming saw that Cheng Liguo was so extravagant that he received two large packages today, presumably from his daughter or from his friends.
"Xiao Cheng, my daughter has sent a package."
"Yes, Brother Yuan, here, my daughter put these in her cotton-padded jacket and sent them together. There are only two packages, one for each of us."
Cheng Liguo handed the "Pegasus" cigarette in his hand to Yuan Guangming. Yuan Guangming's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette, he quickly took it, opened his mouth carefully, and smoked one out.
He was not willing to smoke immediately, but put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it for a long time before lighting it. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke, turning into circles and floating upwards.
He reluctantly threw away the cigarette after it had burned his fingers, and then returned the remaining pack of cigarettes to Cheng Liguo. Everything was in short supply in this place, and cigarettes were in short supply.
"Take it, I have another pack here. I'm not a big smoker. I only smoke one when I'm bored."
Cheng Liguo shook his head. He was actually very addicted to smoking, but his daughter wrote in the letter that smoking is the most harmful to the lungs, so she must slowly reduce the frequency of smoking. In addition, she will send a package every month.
.
Yuan Guangming nodded, put the cigarette into his pocket, and patted it with his hands. His cautious look made Cheng Liguo feel a little sad.
Yuan Guangming's family is also a capitalist. He has lived in luxury for most of his life, but when he is old, he is sent here to endure hardships and hardships. It is a big blow both mentally and physically.
Moreover, during his most difficult time, his wife and children took the money and ran away, reportedly to the other side of the sea, which made his already difficult life even worse.
"Xiao Cheng, don't worry about me, I believe the light will come eventually, just like my name."
Cheng Liguo nodded, and the two brothers began to cook. Cheng Liguo took out white rice, and Yuan Guangming quickly took out a large spoonful of sorghum rice and mixed it with it. You must know that they have a lot of work every day, so they eat a lot.
"What matters to us now is to be full, not to eat well."
Cheng Liguo nodded. After serving as deputy factory director for so many years, he almost forgot the hard life back then and had to reflect on himself.
"Tell me about your daughter. She is very capable of preparing so many things for you in such a short time."
Yuan Guangming asked curiously when he saw Cheng Liguo put a sausage in the pot and steamed it with rice.
"My daughter is a spoiled child who is a little ignorant of the dangers of the world. She was tricked by the fake daughter-in-law I found. Now it's my turn."
Yuan Guangming grew up in a big family, and he knew the fishy things inside when he heard it. He couldn't help but shake his head. For a creature like a woman, you either treat her well or don't get close to her, otherwise you won't be able to eat her.
"My daughter went to the countryside and married a local man. This man should have gotten these things. Of course, my daughter must have provided the money."
"Oh, you can still get such a good thing at this time. Your son-in-law seems to be a very capable person."
"Humph, as long as he is good to my daughter, I will recognize him. Otherwise, when I am free, I will naturally go to him to settle the score."
Li Huan's ears suddenly started to itch. He could only take off his gloves and pick out his ears, but they were clean and there was nothing there.
"Li Huan, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Qiao, who was taking out things from his house in the county town, couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Li Huan suddenly stopped moving.
"What a coincidence, my ears are itchy, but there is nothing in them."
"Then someone must be thinking about you."
Li Huan shook his head. Apart from his mother and sister, he only had Cheng Qiao in his life. Who else could care about him? He shook his head and continued to pick up a pen to record.
"What a coincidence, this batch of things can probably be sold at a good price. Now the market is short of meat, rice, fruit, and fish. You can even get fish out of it. It's amazing."
Cheng Qiao took out a few skewers of oden and handed them to Li Huan. He also took out a few skewers and ate them. After being pregnant, Cheng Qiao gets hungry easily, so Cheng Qiao needs to eat something from time to time.
"Li Huan, what else do you need?"
"Is there any cotton? Uncle Niu told me to make a cotton coat last time, but I forgot."
Cheng Qiao took out two eight-pound quilts from the space. There was no cotton, but she could get it from the quilt. She also didn't have any fabric, so she had to remove the quilt cover.
"Daughter-in-law, these quilts can be sold for more than a hundred yuan each in the market. Do you still have them? Take some more and sell them for the money to send to your father. He will definitely need money and tickets."
Cheng Qiao nodded and took out two more quilts. There was nothing she could do. She only had two quilts in her space. After taking them, she had to wait for the empty positions to be automatically replenished before she could take them again.
In the blink of an eye, the two rooms at the second entrance were filled with supplies, and at this time, there was a fierce knock on the door at the second entrance.
Li Huan's heart trembled. This was not the signal for Slender Monkey to knock on the door, and he could tell from the knock on the door that there were many people outside.
"Li Huan, is Shouhou here? Why is it so early today?"
"What a coincidence, no, we were exposed."
Cheng Qiao's expression also changed. With a thought, all the things in one room were put into the space. Then he ran to another room and put away the things as well.
Li Huan glanced at the empty room, and ran to the door in a calm mood. When he opened the door, a man with a sinister face was about to kick the door. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened. The stress point was gone, and one of his legs naturally crossed.
on the ground.
"ah……"
The fat man's ligaments were not that loose. A split made him scream in pain. Li Huan tried his best to hold back his laughter, ran forward, and helped the man up with all his strength.
"Comrade, why are you kicking at my door? I don't seem to know you, so I can't possibly owe you money."
The man took Li Huan's hand and stood up vigorously. He kept rubbing his legs. It hurt so much. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Huan. He looked like a ruffian. He didn't look like he was working in the black market.
of.
"I received a report that you are speculating here, so I came to search."
"Comrade, are you mistaken? I, a farmer, stole someone's chicken and dumped someone's broom."
"Search……"
How could a man like this be willing to follow Li Huan? With a wave of his hand, he asked people to go in and search immediately.
