Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Fantastic Thoughts
Han Lin's action was so sudden that Yang Dai was shocked. She was about to scream out subconsciously, but Han Lin covered her mouth in time.
Yang Dai blinked and waved her hand slightly to indicate that she had reacted and asked Han Lin to let go.
Han Lin turned sideways and pointed in another direction.
Yang Dai stuck her head out to look and found that it was a familiar face, who was the current accountant of Huangzhuang Brigade.
As for the person walking next to her, Yang Dai had never seen him before.
But seeing that the accountant was smiling and speaking cautiously, I thought he was someone I needed to curry favor with.
The accountant's face was full of smiles, and the other party's face, although not completely cold, did not show much expression either.
"What are these two people talking about?" Yang Dai couldn't help but wonder as she watched the two people leave in another direction.
The two were not familiar with the accountant of Huangzhuang Brigade. If they had just met by chance, there would have been no need for Han Lin to hide with her.
"It seems to have something to do with the brigade's account books." The distance was a bit far, and Han Lin couldn't hear it clearly. He could only vaguely hear the content from the accountant's lips.
"When my eldest brother was settling the accounts before, he seemed to have said that some of the accounts for the past six months didn't match." This was the reason why Han Lin took Yang Dai to hide.
The accountant didn't see the two of them, but Han Lin recognized them from the beginning.
Yang Dai glanced in the direction the two people left, but they had already walked far away and she could not see anything.
"Let's go too." After sending the manuscript, Yang Dai was still worried about another thing. She had also prepared golden melon seeds to exchange for rice and flour on the black market.
The rice and flour that Yang Dai had taken out of the warehouse earlier had been almost eaten. If they couldn't exchange anything on the black market this time, the two would have to continue eating sweet potatoes and sorghum flour, which Yang Dai didn't like at all.
"You go to the supply and marketing cooperative, I'll go over there first. I heard that the commune has recently changed its top leader, and I guess things are not peaceful." Han Lin took out two industrial coupons from his pocket and stuffed them into Yang Dai's hands.
He didn't want Yang Dai to go to the black market. When it was peaceful, it was really peaceful. The things there were more complete than those in the supply and marketing cooperative. As long as you could afford it, you could buy anything.
But there were also times of unrest, especially the current commune black market. After the change of leadership, the original black market was split into two. Although Han Lin had memories of it, this was the first time Han Lin came to the split black market, and he was not willing to let Yang Dai come along.
"Where did you get these?" Yang Dai took the two industrial coupons and looked at them over and over again.
"It's what's left over from before." Han Lin explained hastily and took Yang Dai to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Han Lin was too embarrassed to talk about the origin of these two industrial coupons.
This was what he found in the original body's quilt.
When Han Lin and Yang Dai got married, Yang Dai brought new bedding as a dowry. After they separated, they only moved the new bedding in, and Han Lin's original quilt was left in the previous room.
These days, the two sisters-in-law and Han's mother have been discussing the replanning of the room.
After all, Han Lin has moved out and has his own house, so there is no need to keep Han Lin's room at home.
Han's mother helped Han Lin pack his old luggage and sent it to Han Lin's home.
Han Lin looked down upon these things and wanted to throw them away, but his mother was watching him, waiting to scold him as a spendthrift.
Han Lin thought about his current situation again. Although these messy things could not be called property, they belonged to his original body after all. He would not touch them again and would just keep them as a souvenir.
Han Lin put his things away and when he was moving the bedding, he always felt that there was something in the quilt.
I simply opened it and took a look, only to find that there were a lot of tickets scattered around in the quilt.
But perhaps because it had been there for a long time, most of the tickets inside had expired, leaving only two industrial tickets with no expiration date.
Now, he just happened to borrow two industrial coupons and let Yang Dai go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, while he would go to the black market first to have a look.
This was not the first time that Han Lin expressed his unwillingness to let Yang Dai go to the black market. Yang Dai looked at the two industrial coupons in her hand and did not refuse.
She did want to buy something.
"Okay, then you leave the bicycle to me." Yang Dai agreed reluctantly and set her sights on the bicycle.
She had never seen this thing before and was very curious.
When they came to the commune, Han Lin took her on a bike, and now she wanted to ride it herself to experience it.
Han Lin didn't refuse this time, but his expression was full of distrust, which made Yang Dai angry.
"I can ride it." Yang Dai snatched the bicycle from her hands unhappily and demonstrated her riding skills to Han Lin on the spot.
But when I first got on, I didn't control myself well and rode the bike crookedly.
But he quickly adjusted himself and left Han Lin far behind.
Han Lin looked at Yang Dai's back as she rode her bike, and there was one more thing he wanted to buy.
Yang Dai and Han Lin had the same idea.
The Yang family has a bicycle, which was bought by Yang's father and is mainly used for commuting to and from the brick kiln factory every day.
The Han family has two cars. One was bought by Han’s father and is used to travel frequently between the county town and Huangzhuang Brigade.
The other one belongs to Han’s wife, Sun Qiaoyun, and is also used for work.
Han Lin and Yang Dai were penniless and had nothing.
Yang Dai rode on the bicycle, feeling the breeze blowing across her face, and couldn't help closing her eyes.
Although you need to pedal the bicycle yourself, the speed is not slow, and it feels much better than sitting in a sedan chair before.
Yang Dai stopped her bicycle and waited for Han Lin to catch up with her.
"Do you think these few golden melon seeds can be exchanged for a bicycle?" Yang Dai felt the benefits of riding a bicycle and wanted to own one immediately.
But before Han Lin could say anything, Yang Dai refused first.
"Forget it, you go and exchange food first. We'll talk about the bicycle later." Yang Dai said a few words and urged Han Lin to move faster.
Things like bicycle flashlights are something you should consider only after you have filled your stomach.
Yang Dai is not stupid.
Neither she nor Han Lin worked hard. Everyone in the Huangzhuang Brigade knew that the couple were idle and did nothing.
In this case, the couple suddenly brought home a new bicycle.
Maybe someone suspected that the two were stealing and reported them to the public security bureau.
Yang Dai took two industrial coupons and looked around in the supply and marketing cooperative.
In fact, Yang Dai had everything in her dowry except food, but she didn't dare to take it out.
According to Yang Dai and Han Lin's idea, after the separation, the two of them would live their lives behind closed doors.
Although the appearance is still the same as before, everything is in tatters.
But the things at home must be replaced with things in your own warehouse.
But after two days of moving in, Yang Dai realized that it was unrealistic.
She and Han Lin did not achieve their dream of living alone behind closed doors.
Both Yang's mother and Han's mother would come to see the two of them every now and then.
Now that her mother-in-law and biological mother are here, Yang Dai can't refuse to let them in.
But as long as there were people coming to her house, Yang Dai would never take out her things and use them openly.
What can appear in the house are only things that exist in this era.
Yang Dai knew the value of the things in her warehouse, but these values were not applicable in this era.
The Four Olds are being destroyed everywhere now, and many of the dowries in Yang Dai's warehouse are part of the Four Olds, and it is impossible to take them out.
Yang Dai picked and chose in the supply and marketing cooperative, and finally used two industrial coupons to buy a washbasin and a bar of soap.
Yang Dai actually has quite a bit of money on her.
Yang Dai's parents have regarded her as a lucky star since she was young and never let her suffer any grievances.
When they got married, Yang Dai's parents gave all the betrothal gifts sent by the Han family to her. In addition, they also gave Yang Dai 30 yuan as a dowry.
All in all, Yang Dai had about a hundred yuan on her.
When the family split up and renovated the house, Yang Dai knew that Han Lin had no money, so she thought about paying part of the bill herself, at least to renovate the entire house, but no one agreed.
Han Lin's excuse was that they had just married and separated, so it was not appropriate to renovate the house too conspicuously, otherwise the rumors would not be extinguished.
The Yang family had even more reason. Yang's father said that the bricks Han Lin used to repair the house were originally ordered by someone who jumped the queue, and the bricks were limited, so they were not enough to rebuild the house.
Yang's mother doesn't want Yang Dai to take out the money. This is the guarantee of Yang Dai's future life. If all the money is invested in the house, it will be detrimental to Yang Dai's future life.
Although Yang Dai knew that she had the supplies in the warehouse as a backup, she also admitted that what Yang's mother said made sense.
After building the house, Han Lin was so poor that he didn't have a penny left in his pocket, but Yang Dai still had a lot of money.
It’s a pity that money alone is not enough in this era.
Although she had money but no tickets, Yang Dai could only look at the things in the supply and marketing cooperative but could not own them.
After buying things, Yang Dai rode her bike away, but the time she and Han Lin agreed on had not yet arrived, so she simply went to the factory on the commune side to take a look.
The more Yang Dai understood the world, the more she realized the importance of tickets.
The most direct way to get tickets is to go to work in a factory and become a worker, where a fixed number of tickets will be issued every month.
Yang Dai was familiar with the commune, and soon arrived at the factory gathering place.
There are not many factories in the commune and they are not large in scale.
One of them was a meat processing plant. Before she got too close, Yang Dai heard the wailing of pigs inside and subconsciously moved away.
The other one was a textile factory. There were quite a few people gathered at the door. Yang Dai put her bicycle aside and followed over.
I found out that they were recruiting.
Since she was already there, Yang Dai simply waited in the queue. After all, she had a high school diploma, so she might be able to get a chance.
But it was obviously a fantasy. After knowing that she had a rural household registration, she was no longer qualified to fill out the registration form.
"This time we are recruiting only those with urban household registration." The other party looked at Yang Dai and emphasized it again.
She had originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but this time she failed. Yang Dai didn't say she was disappointed, but when she rode away, she couldn't help but look back at the factory behind her.
Is household registration so important these days?
No one could answer Yang Dai's doubts. Yang Dai looked at the time and returned to the original place to wait for meeting Han Lin.
Han Lin had already arrived. After seeing Yang Dai, he stuffed the things in his hand into Yang Dai's hand.
Yang Dai thought that she didn't get much food in exchange for the golden melon seeds, but the bag in her hand was too light and didn't look like food at all.
When I opened it, I saw the bag was full of colorful things.
Yang Dai held her breath.
