The next day.
Liu Xiaojun got up early, put on his newly made cotton-padded jacket, and went out happily.
I walked outside and felt it, and sure enough, the new cotton-padded jacket was warm.
I was wearing an old, leaky cotton-padded jacket before, and I felt cold from head to toe.
But now, wearing this thick new cotton-padded jacket feels like wrapping myself in a quilt, so warm.
Jia Zhang was sitting at the door early in the morning, and it seemed that she had not tried to summon the spirit.
Seeing Liu Xiaojun passing by wearing a new cotton-padded jacket, I was so jealous.
This kid, making such a big new cotton-padded jacket, how much cotton must be wasted!
It's minus ten degrees in the middle of winter, it's almost freezing to death!
If the cotton could be distributed more evenly to her, she would probably sleep much warmer at night.
This black-hearted bastard doesn't know how to feel sorry for the elderly at all.
People like Jia Zhang would take it for granted even if others helped her or treated her well.
If others don't help her, she feels like they owe her money.
Whenever Liu Xiaojun sees this old lady, he wants to avoid her.
It's not because I'm afraid, it's just pure disgust!
Passing by the door, the old man was wiping his bicycle.
"Hey, Xiaojun, this cotton-padded jacket is new!"
"Yes, Uncle San, are you cleaning the car again?"
Although the Third Master was scheming, he was not as disgusting as Jia Zhangshi. Moreover, he was the one who greeted him first, so Liu Xiaojun had no reason to ignore him.
Uncle Three: "Xiaojun, it takes a lot of cotton to make this cotton-padded jacket, right?"
Liu Xiaojun didn't know what the third uncle was up to, so he could only say:
"How would I know? My mom did it."
The third uncle was also moved by Liu Xiaojun's new cotton-padded jacket.
The cotton-padded jacket I'm wearing was made a few years ago. If some new cotton could be melted into it, it would definitely be much warmer.
Uncle Three: "Do you have any cotton left? Sell me some. I'll trade it for the number of times I ride my bicycle! How about three times for a pound of cotton? That's a good deal, right?"
"Come on, I can't afford your bike." Liu Xiaojun rolled his eyes secretly when he heard it.
The third uncle said this as if he had taken advantage of someone.
These days cotton is a military supply, how hard is it to buy!
Especially cotton tickets, the price on the black market is much more expensive than cotton!
On the black market, cotton tickets cost one yuan and fifty cents per pound.
Everyone in the compound knows that if you use Uncle Sanda's bicycle once, you have to pay thirty cents.
The third uncle asked for the use of the car three times, which would only cost ninety cents in total.
Ninety cents, not even enough to buy a cotton ticket, and this old man actually dares to covet his own cotton.
Of course Liu Xiaojun couldn't agree to that!
After walking a long way, the third uncle was still shouting from behind: "Hey, hey, hey, Xiaojun, don't go, let's discuss this."
Liu Xiaojun ignored the old man and immediately took a few steps forward.
This time, the third uncle Yan Fugui really gave up.
Shaking my head, it seems like I can forget about this cotton!
This kid is smarter than me!
To the black market.
The two people guarding the door were still the same ones from before.
The black market always has a boss. This boss commits crimes against the law and opens a black market. He needs people to come and buy things, so it is reasonable for him to charge a fee.
Liu Xiaojun is now a wealthy man with hundreds of dollars in his pocket, and he doesn't feel any pain at all when he spends a dime on the black market.
He covered his face, paid a dime for protection, and was let in.
After all, he had been to the black market several times and paid "two cents" in tuition to Da Jin Ya. Now Liu Xiaojun was familiar with the entire black market!
The first task today is to buy cotton coupons and cloth coupons to make clothes for Liu Huizhen and Tangtang.
It only took a few steps to find the ticket scalper.
"Any tickets available?"
The ticket scalper saw Liu Xiaojun's outfit, new clothes and new cotton-padded jacket.
Cotton is so expensive, but it can be made into such a large cotton jacket. It must be a big business.
The ticket scalper hurriedly took out the tickets from his pocket, shone his flashlight on them, and said with a smile, "I have all kinds of tickets here!"
As he spoke, he took out bundles of tickets from his pocket, flipped them over like dealing poker cards, and showed them to Liu Xiaojun.
Liu Xiaojun took 30 one-foot cloth coupons, 3 Class A cigarette coupons, and 2 Class A liquor coupons.
Then he asked, "Didn't you say you had all the tickets? Where are the candy tickets?"
The ticket seller smiled and said, "I didn't give you any because you didn't look like you liked candy."
You don’t need sugar coupons to buy ordinary sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative, but you still need sugar coupons to buy some more popular sugars.
This ABC Mickey Mouse candy is what you need.
The ticket seller turned around and took out a few candy tickets from a red plastic bag: "ABC Mickey Mouse candy tickets are a bit expensive, five yuan per pound, and candy tickets are fifty cents per pound."
"I have some cake tickets here, they're 50 cents a pound, would you like some?"
Liu Xiaojun: "Pastry tickets? Okay, ask for less. I'll give you two kilograms of both cake and sugar tickets."
Okay.
"See if you want anything else?"
"I also have watch tickets and bicycle tickets."
Bicycle ticket?
When talking about bicycle tickets, Liu Xiaojun thought of the way the third uncle treasured his bicycle.
However, having a bicycle can be a lot more convenient.
"How much is this bicycle ticket?"
"This number?" The ticket seller stretched out a palm.
Liu Xiaojun: Damn, it’s so expensive!
"Five dollars?" Liu Xiaojun asked tentatively.
Ticket scalper: "Don't tease me, young man. For five dollars, sell me some bicycle tickets."
Liu Xiaojun felt a little tempted.
There were no taxis these days, so people had to rely on their two legs to get around. It would be much more convenient if they had a bicycle.
