It was cold on the road, but fortunately Chu Tian put on a military coat over his cotton-padded jacket and wrapped Wu Ya in his arms, so it was not very cold. Chu Tian was extremely grateful along the way that he had hired Sun Weiguo. Today he would take him to familiarize himself with the road and people, so that he would not have to run back and forth unless necessary in the future. Otherwise, it would be so painful to run back and forth in the middle of winter.

When they arrived at the regiment, there was still some time before lunch. Chu Tian originally wanted to eat first, but then he remembered that he only had money and no food coupons or meat coupons. After thinking about it, he took Sun Weiguo and Wu Ya to Xu Fei's house first.

Standing at the door of Xu Fei's house, Chu Tian looked at Sun Weiguo and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember what I told you on the way?"

Sun Weiguo's heart was pounding. He was about to get involved in speculation and profiteering. It was so exciting. Suddenly, he heard Chu Tian's question and nodded hurriedly, "Remember, remember, you can't call you Brother Tian in front of them. You have to call you Brother Chu or Chu Fei. I won't call you Sun Weiguo, but Sun Guo. The password to open the door is (Flying waterfall straight down three thousand feet)."

Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction. Seeing his nervous expression, he thought for a moment and patted his shoulder again, "Relax, take a deep breath, calm down..."

Sun Weiguo patted his chest and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous..."

Chu Tian curled his lips into a smile, turned around, walked to the door and knocked.

"Who is it?"

"A waterfall plunges three thousand feet!"

The door creaked open, and Xu Fei poked half his head out. He saw Chu Tian and Sun Weiguo standing outside, as well as a carriage loaded with things behind them. As for Wu Ya? Sorry, she was sitting behind the sack and didn't see it.

"Brother Chu, come in quickly."

Xu Fei opened the door and quickly made way.

Chu Tian glanced at Sun Weiguo and stepped into the yard first. Sun Weiguo followed closely behind, pulling the horse into the yard.

Xu Fei didn't waste any words. When he saw Chu Tian and the other man enter the courtyard, he greeted them, "Brother Chu, I'll ask someone to call Brother Gang."

Chu Tian nodded, "Well, go ahead, we'll carry the things to the main room first."

Xu Fei nodded and ran out of the yard.

Sun Weiguo quickly unloaded the four sacks from the carriage into the main hall, then left the main hall and stood in the yard to look around. Then he leaned close to Chu Tian and whispered, "Brother Tian, ​​this house is really small..."

Chu Tian carried Wu Ya into the main hall and said, "This yard is not small in the regiment. You haven't seen other houses. Those are really small..."

Xu Fei's yard is not big compared to the houses in the production team that often occupy nearly an acre of land, but it is really not small in the production team.

Sun Weiguo was surprised. "Why do you want to enclose such a small yard? We have a vast area and a sparse population in the Northwest. Everyone has enclosed a large piece of land to form a yard..."

Chu Tian wanted to explain something when he suddenly heard the sound of a door being pushed open. He turned around and saw Li Gang and Xu Fei walking up to him.

"Brother Li Gang..."

Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Brother Chu, why are you being so polite? Sit down quickly..."

He paused and glanced at Sun Weiguo, "Is this the person you said would deliver the goods for you in the future?"

Chu Tian nodded slightly, hugged Wu Ya, who had just woken up and was rubbing her eyes, and motioned Sun Weiguo to sit down. "Yes, if I don't have time to come in the future, I will ask my brother to come over and deliver the goods from time to time..."

Li was just about to ask how often the delivery would be made when he saw Wu Ya in Chu Tian's arms and asked in surprise, "Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

Chu Tian glanced at Wu Ya and explained with a smile, "This is my daughter. She complained that I hadn't been with her recently, so she insisted on following me when I went out today, so..."

Then he whispered to Wu Ya, "Wu Ya, quickly call uncle and brother..."

Wu Ya blinked her big, watery eyes, looked at Li Gang and Xu Fei, and called out obediently, "Hello, uncle, hello, brother..."

Li Gang was overwhelmed by Wu Ya's cuteness. He quickly took out a handful of candies that he had intended to take home for his son and stuffed them into Wu Ya's hands. "Oh, Brother Chu, your daughter is so adorable. Come, uncle will treat you to some candy."

Wu Ya glanced at Chu Tian, ​​and only took it when she saw Chu Tian nod slightly at her.

"Thank you, uncle..."

Xu Fei didn't have any candy on him, but he had a rattle he had made out of poplar wood in his room during the summer. "Little sister, this is for you to play with..."

Wu Ya's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the rattle in Xu Fei's hand. She also carefully took it after Chu Tian agreed, and smiled sweetly at Xu Fei, "Thank you, brother. Wu Ya likes it..."

The corners of Xu Fei's lips curled up slightly. He resisted the urge to go forward and rub the fifth girl, and quickly walked aside.

Li Gang pointed at the sack on the ground and asked, "Brother Chu, what did you bring today?"

Chu Tian glanced at the four sacks on the ground and answered honestly, "To be honest, we didn't have time to check what was there today. So, I'm not sure what exactly was there..."

In fact, there were many bags of supplies, and he took out four bags at random. He forgot what was in them, but he thought it was just the same...

Li Gang raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then let's take a look together now?"

As he spoke, Xu Fei opened one of the sacks. He saw that the first sack contained a 50-jin sack of flour, the second sack contained a 50-jin sack of rice, the third sack contained 15 ducks, and the last sack contained two 5-jin barrels of rapeseed oil, 10-jin dried noodles, 10-jin oranges, and 10-jin apples...

Sun Weiguo was almost stunned when he saw the contents of the four sacks. He hurriedly tugged at Chu Tian's sleeve and said, "Brother, this, this..."

Chu Tian whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, it's okay..."

He turned to look at Li Gang, "Brother Li Gang, you settle the account."

The bill was quickly settled. Li Gang even offered a higher price for apples and oranges than for grain. There was no other way. The price of fruit was always high in the winter in the northwest. Not to mention that the oranges and apples Chu Tian brought were fresh at first glance, unlike the fruits that the supply and marketing cooperatives occasionally brought in, which were the kind of wilted fruits that had been stored for who knows how long...

Seeing that Li Gang was already counting the money, Chu Tian said, "Brother Li Gang, can I exchange some tickets this time? For example, food tickets and meat tickets..."

Li Gang paused and glanced at Chu Tian in confusion, "Grain coupons, meat coupons? Brother Chu, are you still short of grain and meat? The grain and meat in our supply and marketing cooperative are not as good as what you give out..."

Chu Tian said calmly, "I'm not buying those things. Besides, I still need food coupons and meat coupons when I take my children and family to a state-owned restaurant to have a bite to eat."

Li Gang slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Ah, yes, you do need a ticket to eat at the state-owned restaurant. Wait a minute, I'll get some tickets for you."

After counting the money and handing it to Chu Tian, ​​he turned and went to another room in Xu Fei's house. That room was where he occasionally used to rest, and he usually kept some money and bills there.

Li Gang quickly brought over some tickets and asked, "How many do you want?"

Chu Tian didn't know how to sell food coupons and meat coupons, so he could only tentatively stretch out his hand and said, "I want one for five yuan."

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, "Five dollars?"
