Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Buy a radio.
After coming out of the scrap collection station, Mu Mian jumped and danced several times.
When there was no one around, he opened the comic book and took a look at it, as if to say, "I have to check it carefully."
It turned out that no matter how many times she checked, the radio ticket was still firmly tucked between the pages of the book.
Mu Mian smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his head, and he continued laughing all the way back to the hospital ward.
No one else entered the ward today, and her third aunt was the only patient.
This is how it is these days. Many people are reluctant to spend money and generally do not go to the city's hospitals when they are sick. They just have to endure minor illnesses. If they can't endure it, they will use some folk remedies or see a barefoot doctor.
Zhao Meihua was used to her little girl's cheerful appearance every day, so she didn't think much about it and just asked casually:
"What are you holding?"
Mu Mian smiled and handed it over, "Hey, I picked up a small mirror and a picture book at the scrapyard."
Zhao Meihua raised her eyes in surprise, "Isn't this your book?"
Mu Mian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yes, yes."
Zhao Meihua didn't know what her granddaughter was laughing at, so she asked with a bit of pity, "How did it become like this?"
Mu Mian had an expression as if he was offering a treasure. "Turning it over for me."
Zhao Meihua was confused, "What are you looking for? It's so dirty."
Having said that, Zhao Meihua still followed her granddaughter's instructions and raised her hand to flip through the pages. Because something was stuck in the book, the page naturally stopped at that page.
Before the old lady could see clearly what it was, Mu Mian couldn't wait to move over. Although there was no one else in the ward, Mu Mian still lowered his voice a little, "Hey, the radio ticket! I found it, it was sandwiched in here, hahahahahaha, I'm so lucky!"
Zhao Meihua and Mu Dongxue both widened their eyes.
Mu Dongxue had no idea that her niece had already picked up a lot of good stuff, so she was quite shocked. "Oh my God, I can find this kind of thing in a scrap yard?!"
Zhao Meihua had been attacked by those big yellow croakers before, so she was a little shocked at this moment. "What a coincidence."
It just happened to be in the picture book drawn by her granddaughter.
Mu Mian agreed with what his grandmother said, "This shows that I have a connection with this ticket. We should have a radio in our house!"
It's simply a God-given fate!
If it was any other book, she might not even look at it, but it happened to be in her picture book, what a coincidence! !
Mu Dongxue held Mu Mian's hand, looking like she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get some good luck.
All I can say is, people from the same family tend to stick together.
Once upon a time, the old lady and Liu Shuangcui and her husband had the same first reaction. After encountering it more often, they are now relatively calm.
The old lady returned the book to Mu Mian and said, "Keep it well and don't lose it."
Mu Mian chuckled, "It won't be lost. I promise to keep it well!"
"When we get home, we'll buy a radio so that you can sit under the eaves and listen to music when you have nothing to do."
Zhao Meihua narrowed her eyes and smiled, "You know what, it's pretty beautiful when you think about it."
Mu Mian raised his chin, "Very beautiful!"
The atmosphere in front of the small bed was very cheerful.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
In the morning, Zhong Zhimiao brought a cart with a thick mattress on it, and Mu Dongxue returned home safely.
After lunch, it was time for Mu Mian and his grandson to go home.
Zhong Yan was reluctant to let him go. He stood in front of the bicycle, patted Mu Mian's shoulder, and said seriously, "Come and play more often, Lao Mian!"
Mu Mian clapped his hands in return, "I know, Old Yan, just send him here."
Zhao Meihua didn't urge them, but just watched the two children playing with a smile.
It was past four in the afternoon when we returned to Red Star Commune.
Mu Mian rode his bicycle and stopped in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. The old lady wanted to buy some thread as the family was running out of thread.
Mu Mian followed in and took a look. His goal was clear. He went straight to where the radio was placed, and then he saw a new one on the counter at a glance.
This thing is not as practical as bicycles, sewing machines and watches, and it is not easy to sell. Sometimes after selling one, it may take a long time before you go back to get another one.
Mu Mian remembered that when she came to buy things half a month ago, there was no radio here.
I'm lucky today.
Unfortunately, we can only watch now because they didn’t bring that much money when they went out.
Even if you have tickets in your pocket, it won’t work if you don’t have money.
Mu Mian gave a polite smile to the idle salesperson. "Hello, comrade. How much is this radio?"
She really hadn't paid attention to the price before.
There were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative at the moment, but the salesperson was quite patient. "One hundred and eighty, just arrived last week, very useful."
Mu Mian thanked him.
There is no such thing as sales pitch when selling things these days. When the salesperson saw that Mu Mian didn't say anything, he stopped talking and lowered his head to continue sewing the shoe uppers.
While Mu Mian was watching, the old lady next to her had already bought the thread.
Zhao Meihua naturally heard the conversation between her granddaughter and the salesperson. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the old lady muttered quietly, "It's really not cheap."
Mu Mian said proudly, "I still have a lot of money, I'll pay!"
Zhao Meihua smiled and said, "Why would I need your money? I have some here too."
Mu Mian looked curious, "How much milk do you have?"
Zhao Meihua: "Enough to buy a radio."
Mu Mian said 'Oh yo', "Then you are not old or young!"
Zhao Meihua: "These are the pensions your uncle and aunt gave you over the years, and you don't really need them on a regular basis."
The grandparents and grandchildren talked as they rode, and soon they arrived home.
When there is no one at home, Mu Zhuo usually goes to work when he has nothing to do.
It was getting late, and soon the young couple and Comrade Liu Shuangcui came back together.
Mu Zhuo shouted, "I thought you guys wouldn't be back until tomorrow. How's Third Aunt?"
The old lady said: "It's nothing serious. I've already gone home. It won't be a problem if I lie down for a while."
Liu Shuangcui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
The young couple sat in the yard washing their faces. Mu Mian moved in between them with a mysterious look on his face. "Guess what happened to grandma and I in Heping Commune? It was really exciting!"
Nie Sihui was very supportive and looked very interested. "What?"
Mu Mian: "On the first night, a thief broke into Third Aunt's house."
Mu Zhuo was shocked, "What?!"
Nie Sihui and Liu Shuangcui next to her had the same expression, and before the other three could react.
Mu Mian delivered another heavy blow, "That thief is the murderer that Sister Taozi mentioned before, and I caught him in one go!"
Mu Zhuo was shocked for the second time, "What the hell?!"
Nie Sihui's pupils widened, "Then, that murderer?!"
Liu Shuangcui pulled her daughter over and looked her up and down. She looked exactly the same as when she found Mu Mian killing a wild boar in the mountains.
Mu Mian said carelessly, "Hey, I caught him right away, and tied him up like my dad tied up a pig. At daybreak, Sister Xiaotian and the other team leaders carried him to the police station."
Liu Shuangcui: "Oh my God!"
Mu Mian didn't even give his parents time to react before he said mysteriously, "There's one more thing."
Mu Zhuo: "And more?!"
Liu Shuangcui: "What else are you doing?!"
The old lady couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and tapped her granddaughter's forehead as she passed by, "Stop scaring me."
Mu Mian chuckled, "Hehe, it's a great thing!!"
As he said this, he leaned over and lowered his head and laughed softly, "Hahahahahaha, I picked up a radio ticket. I saw it when I just got back. The supply and marketing cooperative has it. Mom, let's go buy it tomorrow, okay?"
Liu Shuangcui raised her hand, "Wait for me for a while."
Her heart couldn't take all these ups and downs.
Mu Zhuo was very interested, "Where did you find it?"
Nie Sihui was a little stunned, "How can I pick up this thing?"
Mu Mian stuck close to his sister-in-law, "Hey, it was sandwiched in my comic book, what a fate!"
After saying that, he took it out and showed it to the young couple, and the three of them gathered together and chattered.
---
At dusk, when Comrade Mu Fugui returned home, just like when Mu Mian killed the wild boar before, such a big man immediately performed three shocking actions in a row, and his eyes almost popped out.
As a result, today's dinner took much longer than usual.
Mu Mian talked while eating, recounting everything that had happened in the past two or three days.
Comrade Mu Fugui sighed, "The way you live every day is too scary."
Mu Mian said calmly, "I might be prone to accidents."
Several adults didn't understand.
Mu Mian explained, "It means I always catch up with things."
Liu Shuangcui: "That's true. You are really good at catching up with things."
God knows that when she heard it before, she was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
After the family finished chatting, it was already dark.
After a simple wash, Mu Mian lay back in her familiar bed and had a good night's sleep. However, the adults were too stimulated by her and did not sleep well.

The next day.
After dawn, a new day begins.
Mu Mian was thinking yesterday that she would go buy a radio today, but her elder brother took the initiative to take over the job.
Everyone in the family can earn money, so naturally they couldn't take the old lady's pension money. Liu Shuangcui took out 180 yuan and gave it to her eldest son.
Mu Zhuo went there by bike with Comrade Mu Fugui, and then walked back by himself.
His speed
It’s very fast, there’s still time to buy.
This was the first time Mu Mian had come across a radio of this era, and he was very excited. "Quick, quick, turn it on and see if we can get a radio station right now?"
Mu Zhuo: “Probably.”
He fiddled with it casually and a voice came from inside. It was a man telling a story.
Xiao Mi Miao and a few other kids happened to be there at the moment. They had never heard of the radio before, but they were fascinated by it as soon as they heard it. They didn't even run around, but listened attentively.
There are no secrets in the brigade.
In less than an hour, almost everyone knew that the Mu family had bought a radio.
This was the first radio in the brigade, and it caused a small sensation.
Some familiar people came over and wanted to listen to what was being said on the radio.
Many unfamiliar people were also peeking out from outside the yard, chattering.
"Hey, what are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly."
"Your ears aren't very good, so I heard it clearly. It seemed like he was talking about catching something."
"In the blink of an eye, all three turns and one ring of the Mu family have come together. It's incredible."
"The child is doing well. Mian has been running to the post office from time to time in the past two years. She must have made a lot of money writing articles."
"It's no use just having money, you still need to get tickets."
…………
…
In the yard, some people were also asking this question.
Mu Mian glanced at her brother, and Mu Zhuo said without blushing or beating his heart, "I exchanged it with my comrade-in-arms. He also took great pains to get this one."
"The young man who came to drink before?"
Mu Zhuo: “Yes!”
"Then you two have a good relationship. I can even get you the radio tickets."
Mu Zhuo: "Of course, we are friends for life."
Good brothers, we will move wherever you are needed!
At the same time, Wen Zhan, who had already returned to the capital, sneezed inexplicably.
It was broad daylight and no one knew who was talking about him.
