Chapter 1765 Untitled Untitled 4
Every ten-yuan salary would give them an industrial voucher, and their family had no shortage of it, so they would often give away the unused items to others.
The Lu family has no shortage of industrial coupons, but the farmers cannot get even one. They need industrial coupons to buy kettles, iron pots, and farm tools, not to mention big items like three-turn and one-ring. They cannot buy anything with tickets but no industrial coupons, unless they are selling goods.
Therefore, it has become a normal thing for ordinary people in the countryside to go to the black market in towns to look for tickets.
The middle-aged man said impatiently without even calculating the accounts: "Okay, okay, with the industrial voucher, I can bring a tin kettle home, and when my wife is in confinement at the end of the year, she won't have to worry about not having hot water to drink."
The deal was done, and they were about to find a place where no one would notice them to make the exchange, when a young woman about 16 or 17 years old rushed out from the side. She was wearing an old military coat and a red armband. She was very heroic and said in a loud voice, "What are you doing? What are you doing? I smell blood. What do you want to do? You must be speculating!"
The middle-aged man paused and his face suddenly changed color.
Feng Qingxue was not afraid. When they were talking, the other party was not nearby, and no other pedestrians passed by. So she said bluntly: "Comrade, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? My comrade's fellow villager came from dozens of miles away to send us New Year's goods to comfort the army. I came to receive the goods. I just met him and was thinking that I should not take a single needle or thread from the people of the people, and I should prepare something corresponding to the New Year's goods for him to take back. How come you say it is speculation?"
No matter what, the momentum has been shown and it doesn't look guilty.
The middle-aged man was very smart. After hearing what Feng Qingxue said, he showed a simple and honest smile, "PLA comrades defend our country without fear of bloodshed or tears. Last month, a medical team came to the countryside to check our health and spread health knowledge. We, the elders and villagers, all admired them very much. That's why they hunted some game and asked me to send it to the PLA comrades. On behalf of the elders and villagers, I sincerely want to comfort the troops. I don't want the PLA to prepare anything for me to take home."
Feng Qingxue said with a straight face: "How can this be done? As a soldier, you cannot take things from ordinary people casually, otherwise you will be severely punished. I don't want to bring shame to our army. Don't worry, the old leader received special products sent to him by people from his hometown. He has sent money to his fellow villagers. Whether I give you money or things, you can't refuse."
When the young woman heard this, her expression changed.
This is true, and it is almost known to everyone that the old chief and his family handle the specialties sent to them by others in this way.
Seeing that the material of the military coat Qingfeng Qingxue was worn by only high-ranking generals in the army, the young woman's attitude changed so quickly that the middle-aged man was shocked. "So you are a PLA comrade and a fellow villager who is here to comfort the troops. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Feng Qingxue also smiled and said, "It's okay. Comrade, you said that because you are conscientious in your duties. It's our behavior that is easy to be misunderstood. It's not your fault. However, Comrade, you showed up at the right time. This fellow villager is in a hurry to go back. He wants to throw the things to me and leave. I can't really accept it like this. Comrade, you can be a witness for us."
The young woman breathed a sigh of relief and agreed immediately.
Feng Qingxue and the middle-aged man completed the transaction smoothly.
During the transaction, Feng Qingxue smiled at the young woman and said, "I heard that my fellow villager's wife is about to give birth, so I specially prepared a few pounds of brown sugar and some cloth. I used the industrial coupons to buy them a kettle. I wanted to get some cotton, but I sent it to the orphans of the martyrs two months ago. I can only give my fellow villager some money according to the value of the game. I can't let my fellow villager suffer a loss."
