It was just the beginning of 1978, and we were still in the planned economy era, so these things were what the common people lacked the most.
Dalong is really courageous. He waited so long for Miss Jiang to come. He had to replenish his ammunition. He needed a batch of goods.
Find a place to store it and sell it slowly.
He also had some savings, so he spent an entire afternoon preparing the gold bars and getting the goods.
In early 1978, there was little change in income and prices in the mainland.
But at that time, the average income of an average person in Hong Kong was about 2,000 yuan, and pork was 12 yuan per pound.
Lian Xiaomin basically did not increase the price she gave Dalong.
The total value of these goods is 206,000 yuan.
But the price of gold has risen a lot at this time. Gold has been pegged to the US dollar. When the international gold price rises, the price here also rises.
According to the current exchange rate, one gram of gold should be around 11 yuan.
The price of one large yellow croaker has risen to about 3,430 yuan, and this payment was just enough to exchange for 60 large yellow croakers.
Lian Xiaomin also saw the two Qing Dynasty porcelain vases that Dalong gave her and she liked them very much.
When I went to the warehouse to stock the goods, I gave him an extra 200 kilograms of wool yarn and five bags of rice as a gift in return.
After the transaction was completed, Lian Xiaomin and Lu Guanjie returned to Sandagou to celebrate the New Year.
Yufang and his wife have transferred their jobs and house to their eldest sister's family.
Li Yufen and Wang Baozhu arrived in Sandaogou on the first day of the Lunar New Year to celebrate the New Year.
Moreover, Sister Yufen did not leave. She stayed with her family for another three days and only returned on the fifth day of the New Year.
She couldn't bear to leave her mother, her younger brother's family and her younger sister's family. These were her last few days at home, staying with her family.
From now on, it won’t be easy to meet each other.
Zhang Dacui is sixty years old this year. Although she is in good health, she is old after all. She doesn't know when she will see her eldest daughter again in the future, and she feels sorry for Yufen.
Li Yufen held Xiaomin's hand and thanked her for her help to her and Wang Baozhu over the years.
She estimated the age and height of Xiaofu and Xiaoya, and made two sets of clothes for them. They were Chinese-style Tang suits with round buttons, which looked particularly beautiful.
Lian Xiaomin thanked the other party. This was a thoughtful gesture. In the past few years, Aunt Yufen had made shoes and clothes for the two children and her craftsmanship was very good.
Xiao Ya still keeps that little tiger-head hat.
During the Chinese New Year, Li Xianghai quietly called Ma Cheng and Ma Jing over one night.
They were so excited when they saw Master Lian.
Ma Cheng can say to Master Lian in person, I followed your orders and finally got admitted to university, a university in Beijing. Are you satisfied?
Lian Xiaomin smiled and patted the twenty-year-old boy hard.
He has grown taller. He must be 1.82 meters tall now, right? He is half a head taller than my 1.68 meters!
Ma Cheng also met Master Lian’s husband, Brother Lu, who had a silly grin on his face.
This big brother looks really energetic, worthy of our beautiful Master Sandaogoulian!
Lian Xiaomin took out 7,000 yuan, plus a thick stack of various Beijing bills, put them all in a shoulder bag, and gave them to Ma Cheng.
At this point, she gave all the embezzled money of the corrupt official Xu Youchang as a reward to poor college students.
He also gave him a watch, some pens, and some new clothes for the brother and sister.
There were winter cotton-padded jackets and trousers, cotton shoes, military coats, and summer shirts and dresses, filling an entire sack.
Ma Cheng was also going to Beijing with her sister. She told the boy that when the time comes, he should use the money to buy a house, even a small one, for Ma Jing to live in. The house would definitely be valuable in the future.
He also wrote him Qian Ye's address in Nanluoguxiang, and told him to go to him for help if he had any problems, and mentioned the name "Xiao Ma", saying that it was Xiao Ma who asked him to come.
After Qian Gui and his four grandfathers arrived in Beijing, they all changed their identities and names.
The old man is now called Yao Chunshan, and the youngest is called Yao Zuoyi. Let’s go to Nanluoguxiang to find their home.
Write the changed name on a piece of paper and ask Ma Cheng to take it with him.
There were no commercial housing in this era, so it was not easy to buy a house if you really wanted to.
There was no one to help, and his brother and sister were from other places and had never been to Beijing, so they couldn't do it on their own.
Ma Cheng's eyes were filled with tears. Even his master had thought of everything for him.
At that time, he already knew Qian Ye and his gang, and he also worked behind Shunxi to earn some money.
At the beginning, Lian Xiaomin showed himself as "Linzi" and got to know Xiaocheng, and asked Shunxi to do work for him.
"Ma Cheng, actually, the brother Lin Zi you knew back then was my subordinate and worked with me."
"...You go contact Master Qian and the others. Shunxi is now called Yao Zuonian. You should get along well with them. The four of them are all good people and are doing well. They will take good care of you."
Ma Cheng was stunned when he heard this. This kid was very cunning and funny when he was a child. He even played pranks with Brother Linzi.
His mind was even quicker and he suddenly reacted.
"Master Lian, Brother Linzi helped me so much and asked Brother Shunxi to take care of me. I didn't do any work, but I was paid... Could it be that you arranged all this?"
Lian Xiaomin raised the corner of his mouth. This kid is quite smart.
Ma Cheng knew that he had guessed correctly. He had not known for so many years that Master Lian had helped him and his sister so much...
"Xiaocheng, if you have any problems in the future, please leave a letter for Master Qian. I will visit you when I go to Beijing again. Study hard in the future. Everything depends on you."
"In the future, if I have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong, I will go to the famous Hai Kuo Hotel."
"That's owned by your brother Lu. You can get in touch with him by asking our names. I also welcome you to go there."
Ma Cheng remembered everything, said goodbye to Master Lian, took his things and went home. From now on, as long as he works hard, everything will be full of hope~
From that moment on, he looked forward to going to Hong Kong one day to find Master Lian!
As he walked, he turned his head and said to his younger sister: "Xiao Jing, you should study hard too. Maybe we can go to Hong Kong in the future!"
Ma Jing nodded and looked at her brother's eyes, which were also sparkling.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lian Xiaomin and Lu Guanjie went to Sun Xuefeng's home in the commune after dark and waited.
Lawrence Lu carried half a sack of things, and personally cooked, lighting the fire and preparing a table full of dishes.
Li Xianghai sent a letter to Doubao and Wang Xintian in Gaojiatun, asking them to meet Xiaomin at the address in the evening so that everyone can get together.
Tomorrow night, the seventh day of the lunar year, their family will leave.
Doubao and Wang Xintian found the place before six o'clock. They were so happy when they met each other!
Three good friends really have endless things to talk about.
This time I also met the legendary Lawrence Lu!
Sanyong and Huzi had come back before and told them that Xiaomin was already married. Even he didn't catch up with what happened in the summer of 1974.
He and Xiaomin met in Paris in early 1975!
“Brother Doubao, Brother Xintian, today’s meals were prepared by Lawrence Lu, not by me. You can eat without worrying about it. You won’t get a stomachache~”
Everyone laughed and talked about how Xiaomin didn't even know how to pluck chicken feathers, and Sanyong even told her to peel the chicken skin with a knife.
