Sun Dahai originally wanted to try his luck and see if he could buy some ginseng, tiger bones and the like to keep at home. But he gave up after learning that there was no takeout here.
When Sun Dahai walked to the door, he didn't think about what caused the familiar feeling in him, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He was just about to go out when he suddenly thought that since he was at the supply and marketing cooperative, he should buy something to take with him.
The base had just been established and was mainly composed of young people, with no elderly people or children. Sun Dahai glanced at the counter and immediately found a suitable gift.
There are six kinds of liquor in the supply and marketing cooperative, all of which are local brands such as "Red Sorghum" and "Laobaigan". Sun Dahai has never heard of any of them.
But it doesn't matter. In this era, there will be no fake wine in the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives. Sun Dahai didn't choose any more, and just bought two boxes. It's not expensive anyway, the average bottle is less than one yuan.
Smoking and drinking are not separate things. If you have wine, you must also have cigarettes.
Sun Dahai knew a few types of cigarettes on the counter, but when he asked, he found that the best Hongtashan only had three boxes, and there was only one peony and a few boxes.
Sun Dahai had no choice but to buy them all, and bought three more large front doors and two more red plums, almost emptying the supply and marketing cooperative's inventory.
After paying the money, issuing the invoice, and waiting for the salesperson to move the goods to the warehouse behind, Sun Dahai handed three boxes of Hongtashan to Hu Cheng and asked him to give them to Master Li and the two people driving the truck. He also asked Master Li to drive the truck over, so
Loading is easier.
It's cold outside, so you can't put wine in the truck, otherwise it will freeze and explode the bottles. Now this Coaster has 17 seats, and there is enough space to hold it.
The goods were all prepared, and after Hu Cheng and Gao Yi ordered the correct number of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, everyone started moving them into the car. The truck's assistant also came over to help, and everything was completed quickly.
Everyone was getting ready to set off when suddenly Sun Yuanyuan pointed forward and said to Sun Dahai: "Brother, look. Is that the grandfather who just sold wolf skins?"
Sun Dahai took a look and saw that it was indeed Boss Li. However, it seemed that he was in trouble.
He squatted next to the wheel of a tractor, and behind him stood a young girl and four or five primary school students.
When Master Li heard what Sun Yuanyuan said, he also looked over, then shook his head and said: "The rear wheel has a leak and I can't walk. We can't help. I don't know if there is a repair shop in the town. But today is New Year's Eve.
, I guess there’s no one around now.”
Sun Yuanyuan and others were in the supply and marketing cooperative just now. They heard the conversation between Lao Hu and Boss Li and knew that the people in front of them were a teacher and several students.
Sun Yuanyuan was kind-hearted. She held Sun Dahai's arm and said, "Brother, their car broke down and they can't go home for the New Year. It's so cold outside. What should they do?"
The driver's assistant of the truck said: "It depends on whether their life is good or not. It's best if they can take a ride. Otherwise, they have to walk, and they don't know how far they are."
Sun Yuanyuan didn't speak, but she shook Sun Dahai's arm with a pleading look on her face. Sun Dahe and Gao Yi were also looking at Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai quickly surrendered.
"I didn't say I wouldn't help them. Yuanyuan, stop shaking, my arm will fall off if you shake it again."
Sun Dahai pondered for a moment and said, "I'll ask them first, and if they're on my way, I'll give them a ride. If they're not, I'll think of another way."
Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe both cheered. They surrounded Sun Dahai and walked towards the tractor.
Seeing this, everyone else followed, except for leaving the driver's assistant to look at the things in the car.
Sun Dahai and the others took a closer look and found that the tire was indeed flat. It was a Dongfanghong four-wheel tractor with a steering wheel, commonly known as a small four-wheel tractor.
The flat tire is the rear wheel of the vehicle body, which is a very large tire. Now that the vehicle body is tilted, I can barely move the vehicle, but if it goes on the road, it won't go very far, so I don't want this tractor.
"Uncle, this tire can't run unless it is repaired. Is there a repair shop in the town?" Master Li struck up a conversation with Boss Li.
"Oh, there is a small repair shop, but the master there went back to the village to celebrate the New Year the day before yesterday."
Master Li also squatted down. He tore open the packaging of Hongtashan, took out one and handed it to Boss Li, saying: "Uncle, don't worry. Come and have a cigarette."
Boss Li quickly took it with both hands and said, "Brother, thank you. In fact, if it's just me, it's fine. I'll just leave the tractor in the town and walk back by myself."
But it’s not the New Year’s Eve today, we can’t let teachers and children suffer like this.”
Master Li turned back to look at Sun Dahai.
When Sun Dahai saw those children, their little faces turned red from the cold, he couldn't bear it.
He said to Boss Li: "Grandpa, we are going to Shiweitian Base, which is the former military horse farm. Do you think we are on the way? If it is, I will take you back."
"Very good."
"I can go home to celebrate the New Year."
…
As soon as Sun Dahai spoke, several children screamed with joy. The teacher who was originally frowning also showed a smile.
Boss Li suddenly stood up, the cigarette in his hand hanging in the snow.
He held Sun Dahai's hand tightly and said repeatedly: "By the way, by the way. Thank you so much, eldest nephew, oh no, little brother. The military horse farm is right below our village."
In his excitement, Boss Li didn't even know what to call Sun Dahai.
Sun Yuanyuan said to the teacher: "Excuse me, are you a teacher?"
"Yes, little classmate, what's the matter with you?"
Sun Yuanyuan said: "Teacher, I will take you to sit in the car. It is too cold outside."
With that said, Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe took the teacher and several students to Coaster.
"Teacher, we were at the supply and marketing cooperative just now, and we heard that grandpa say that you were participating in a performance in the city. Is it true? Is there any good show?"
…
There were also some daily necessities in the bed of the tractor, which were not afraid of freezing. Hu Cheng and the others helped move them to the truck. Boss Li drove the tractor into the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative for temporary storage, and then also got on the Coaster.
After everyone got on the bus, the two cars started off again.
Sun Yuanyuan soon became familiar with the teacher and the children of similar age. They sat in the back, singing songs quietly and reciting poems.
Boss Li sat in the deputy seat and led Master Li the way. Sun Dahai and Gao Yi sat in the back row, chatting casually with him.
Boss Li looked at Costley's luxurious interior and wanted to touch it but was afraid of getting it dirty. He asked Sun Dahai: "Brother, is such a high-end car used to pick up and drop off leaders?"
Sun Dahai was right when he thought about it. Isn't this the welcome car of the General Administration of Agricultural Reclamation?
He nodded and said: "Yes, but we have borrowed it now. Grandpa, I call you 'Grandpa', please don't call me 'Little Brother', it sounds a bit confusing. My name is Sun Dahai.
Just call me Dahai."
"Cheng, Dahai, I have to thank you again. If it weren't for your help, I would be so sorry for Teacher Xiao Liu and the children."
"Grandpa, you're welcome. Not only the people in the Northeast are living bastards, but so are we."
