He Wan shook the gold bar and felt that the things in her space were not enough to give: "Uncle, you gave a lot, I don't have that much."
Uncle He waved his hand at her and said, "The things are good, but they are not as valuable as food nowadays. Just give them as you see fit."
He Wan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle He, today I will give you two bags of milk powder, a few pounds of pork, a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and I also have some fruit. The things you give me can provide you with food for a year. In the future, I will come to bring you some food every once in a while."
"That's not good, young man. Don't let this happen to you. We got a lot last time."
He Wan smiled and didn't answer, and gave her everything in the basket.
Then he went outside and brought in two bags of food for her when no one was around.
Seeing that Uncle He had no job and Aunt He was seriously ill, she gave him some of the living allowance coupons she received every month and also gave him twenty yuan.
After Grandpa He and Grandma He sent her out, the two elderly people hugged each other in the yard and silently shed tears: "We have met a good person."
"Yes, we have met a good person. Let's get the things in quickly to avoid being discovered."
He Wan didn't get the wine ticket from Uncle He, so she went to Director Jin at the vegetable station.
Director Jin was not at home this time, but his wife was. He Wan said, "Sister-in-law, this time it's all food, not much meat. There is milk powder and brown sugar. If there are any wine and cigarette tickets at home, I will take them all." Then she whispered, "If there are any old items, I will take them too."
When Old Jin heard this, he blinked and said, "We don't accept coins."
"Yes."
As a result, the old Jin family actually took out two coins from the house for her. On them were the names of coins from the most recent dynasty. He Wan frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, these coins are too rare and worthless."
Old Jin's family said: "It should be worth at least one or two dollars. My old Jin has collected this thing for many years. He lost it all, and now there are only two left."
He Wan secretly thought it was a pity, but she still said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll give you two kilograms of rice for each of the two kinds."
"Okay, cut me another three pounds of meat."
When He Wan came out of Director Jin's house, there was a wine ticket, two cigarette tickets, and a soap ticket in her pocket.
As for the two copper coins, I have to go back and check how much they are worth to Lao Yun.
In addition to this place, she also went to Sister Chen's place. She remembered that Sister Chen gave her several wine tickets last time.
Alas, she ran around a lot for Lao Yun to meet his parents-in-law.
As it turned out, she guessed right. Sister Chen worked in a winery. Last year, when her daughter-in-law gave birth, she bought her pig's trotters.
"Sister Chen, I have some baby formula here, do you want some?"
Sister Chen's eyes lit up: "Yes, how much is a bag?" "Five yuan a bag."
"It's so expensive, can you make it cheaper, sister?"
He Wan laughed: "Sister Chen, let me tell you the truth, my father likes to drink, and I want to get some wine tickets."
"Wine ticket? Wine is OK."
"What kind of wine does Sister Chen's factory sell?"
"Wuliangye, I have it in stock at home."
"Okay, but I still want a few drink tickets."
Sister Chen didn't say anything, and took her to her cellar: "Sister, my man likes to stock up on alcohol, not just Wuliangye, but all kinds of alcohol on the market. How about you just take a few bottles and exchange them for two bags of milk powder?"
He Wan's eyes lit up. If it could be done this way, of course it would work.
I took a look at the pile of wine with a flashlight and suddenly felt very ignorant.
What did she see? Wines of various brands, all piled up in the cellar.
Seeing He Wan's puzzled look, Sister Chen smiled and explained, "My husband and I both work in the winery. He is a winemaker and has been doing this for his whole life. It doesn't cost much to store these wines."
"Oh, I'll pick it then."
"Pick it."
He Wan finally picked out two bottles of aged Moutai, Wuliangye, and a kind of wine called Laijiu from the wine cellar. Anyway, she knew that Moutai was expensive, so she only took the aged ones among the others.
Finally, Sister Chen was given two packets of milk powder, two kilograms of brown sugar, a chicken, three kilograms of pork, and ten kilograms of millet.
After finishing this business, He Wan went to the post office. She hadn't been there for the whole winter, three or four months, and had no time to collect her pension, which was twenty yuan a month. This time she received a total of eighty yuan, as well as four industrial coupons, dozens of kilograms of grain coupons, a few kilograms of meat coupons, coal coupons, cloth coupons, and oil coupons, which she could give to others when exchanging items later.
In addition to these, she also received a package mailed to her by Uncle Gu.
He Wan found a deserted place and entered the space. She opened it and took a look. It should have been mailed by Uncle Gu during the Chinese New Year. There was a pound of brown sugar, canned food, a few meat coupons, a small military coat for women, and a letter.
He Wan looked at it for a while and then smiled. Uncle Gu helped her rent out the house to a local magazine for ten yuan a month. He only rented the front yard and kept the back yard for her so that she would have a place to live when she visited her relatives or went home in the future.
I would like to ask you all to leave more comments and speeches. The more paragraphs, chapters, and book reviews the better.
Please give me another ticket, haha.
