Chapter 19 Educated youth sent to the countryside, literacy class teacher
The purchasing point is located in the yard of the production team office.
A wrinkled grandmother came over with two baskets on a pole to ask for prices. There were eggs in the left basket with hay underneath, and half a basket of red pears and several common wild vegetables on the right.
"Xiao Xin, show me how much these things are worth, and I will sell them if they are suitable."
"Okay, let me inspect the goods first."
Xiaoxin is a tall and thick-set man. He holds an egg in his hand and gestures with it while talking. His grandma is worried and keeps shouting to be careful.
You must know that eggs are precious. Usually, members are reluctant to eat them themselves and use them to exchange for money to subsidize their families.
Xiaoxin smiled and said: "Third Aunt, I understand. Please wait nearby while we invite comrades from the steel rolling mill to come and take a look."
"Hey, hey, you coward, put down the old woman's eggs first."
"...."
Cao Weidong arrived.
He took a few glances, pulled Xiaoxin aside, and started to give instructions carefully.
"The eggs are small, so you can just follow the standard valuation announced by Captain Wei. I charge them here 2/5. The red zodiac pears are wild and not that valuable, so you can just give them the market price."
"There are also wild vegetables that I don't accept here, so they are difficult to store."
At this time, the folk customs are simple and there will never be sky-high purchase fees, so Cao Weidong is relieved.
After a pause, he added: "Some fellow villagers want tickets but not money, so you can also register."
At this time, food stamps are hard currency and can be used as money.
Of course, exchanging food stamps for money is a "speculative" behavior. The state strictly prohibits and cracks down on it, but it cannot stop private transactions among the people.
Because there is a need.
People in the village don't have tickets. If they want to buy something, they can only find someone to add money to exchange for tickets.
Cao Weidong is also a convenience to the fellow villagers.
In addition, he cooperates directly with the production team, so he dares to do this.
"Okay."
Xiaoxin knows it well.
He pulled the third aunt aside and muttered a few words. The third aunt nodded happily, cooperated in taking inventory of the goods, and then carried the pole into the house to pay the bill.
With the first one, there will naturally be a second one and a third one...
Many people who were still hesitating couldn't sit still when they saw that they could actually exchange money. They also pulled out a bunch of agricultural and sideline foods from their homes and ran over to sell them.
The scene was so heated that it even alarmed several production team cadres including Wei Hongxing and Liang Guanghe.
They consciously came over to maintain order.
With their participation, the order at the scene became much smoother.
They were busy until the evening, when the purchase was over, the villagers dispersed, and Cao Weidong and Liang Guanghe began to take stock.
Today we collected more than a hundred eggs, five baskets of red pears, and half a basket of sweet potatoes.
"In other words, there will be more in the first batch, but there will be less stuff tomorrow."
Cao Weidong was thinking in his heart.
He estimated that by the time he left, he would have completed about two-thirds of his purchasing target.
There is no way. It’s not that I don’t have money. Even if I have money, I can’t buy it. This is the current situation.
This also reflects the preciousness of Wanjie Mall.
After sorting out all the accounts, Cao Weidong took out the money slip and handed it to Wei Hongxing.
"Xiao Cao, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Wei Hongxing's eyes narrowed into slits, with a smile on his face.
[Ding, Wei Hongxing’s favorability is 5, shopping point 10.]
Liang Guanghe snorted, "Why are you happy? If it weren't for me, would you have achieved what you have today?"
Cao Weidong also smiled and said: "Captain Wei, can you help me find a place? These things cannot be placed in the yard."
"Xiao Cao, you can just call me Uncle Wei from now on. Also, move these things to my cellar first, and I will look after them myself."
Wei Hongxing directed several young and strong members to move these things into his cellar. The cellar lid was also covered with an iron lock to prevent anyone from stealing it.
Cao Weidong put forward his own idea again, "Uncle Wei, the purchase volume is a bit large, exceeding my expectations. Can you find someone to help me transport it to Kyoto? There is a purchasing warehouse next to our factory, just put it there."
"If it's inconvenient, I have to leave today to transport some supplies back first, and our procurement will have to be suspended for a while."
The steel rolling mill gave ten days because of transportation issues.
When Wei Hongxing heard that the purchase was suspended, he immediately became anxious.
I have just tasted the sweetness, and you are about to withdraw. How can that be done?
He waved his hands repeatedly.
"There are bullock carts in the team, and I'll have them transported to the city for you."
Wei Hongxing wished that Cao Weidong could stay a few more days so that he could buy more supplies.
At this moment, a patrol member came over, followed by a young man, "Captain, this is Teacher An, an educated youth sent by the Daying Production Brigade."
The young man took out the letter of introduction and introduced himself, "Captain of the guard, my name is An Wenyao. I am an educated youth. The old captain of the production team of the camp asked me to conduct literacy classes for you."
Cao Weidong couldn't help but look at An Wenyao a few more times.
Since 1955, educated youths have been going to the mountains and countryside to build beautiful villages.
Of course, the information at this time is free to come and go, unlike in the next few years, where the management will be strict and even the card holders will be required.
Wei Hongxing raised his head, "I almost forgot, the old captain said to help me find an educated youth to open a literacy class and complete the literacy task."
"Comrade, our team has a brick factory with a large warehouse inside. I will show you tomorrow if it can be used as a classroom..."
Cao Weidong knew that Wei Hongxing was busy, so he said hello and left the room.
After pulling over a patrol member to ask Xiaosi's location, he walked towards the sentry box at the entrance of the village.
On the way, Cao Weidong summoned Wanjie Mall and looked at the shopping spot worth over 200 people with some hesitation.
"What should I buy for self-defense?"
"How about buying a pistol? You have room to carry it with you and you don't have to worry about others checking it."
Thinking this way, Cao Weidong started searching with great interest.
.......
Qinjiagou.
Zhang Haiming looked at the mottled adobe house and said angrily: "How dare Qin Youliang, who lives in a good house himself, give me a house in Pofeng?"
"This bed is made entirely of hardwood. Is it a place for people to live?"
"And this house... it smells bad. Is this a pigsty?"
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Yang Lian: "......"
Yang Lian was extremely wronged.
Be content, you finally have a bed to sleep on, but I can only make a bed on the floor if you don't care.
Ever since he learned that Cao Weidong had been transferred, Qin Youliang had completely ignored them, with a very perfunctory attitude.
The arranged accommodation was also shabby, with holes in the windows, and the draft was blowing in at night.
Zhang Haiming has been doing well since he was promoted to deputy director of the logistics department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. How can he be so angry?
But after all, there is a city.
After calming down, he looked sideways at Yang Lian, feeling a little disgusted in his heart.
I'm so blind, why did I choose this thing?
It’s true that there is more than enough success and more than failure.
But his father was also the deputy director and spent money. Zhang Haiming could only suppress his anger and asked: "Xiao Yang, I heard that you went to talk to the breeder. How was the talk?"
Yang Lian looked bitter.
"I was splashed with pig manure, and now my clothes are still hanging outside."
