In early January 1969, Yu Guangcheng's application for family housing was finally approved. It was located in a row of houses behind Xiang Nuan's home.
Now that the house was settled, it was time to get married. The couple couldn't wait any longer and spent ten days getting the house ready. On the 20th, they officially held their wedding in the army cafeteria.
After the banquet, Xiang Nuan bumped into Zhao Dahai. Today was the day when her younger sister was getting married and Zhao Dahai, her older brother, was here to see her off.
"Sister, what good stuff do you have this time?"
Since asking Zhao Dahai to help sell a watch last time, Xiang Nuan asked him to help sell a radio and a pocket watch during this period, and earned another two hundred and eighty yuan.
Zhao Dahai was so happy that he easily earned more than a month's salary from her after three transactions. Now in his heart, Xiang Nuan was no different from the God of Wealth.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and a friend of mine has a way to get some unplanned sugar. Do you want some?"
Zhao Dahai's eyes lit up, "Yes! How many can you have?"
White sugar is a good thing that money cannot buy, mainly because it is difficult to get a ticket. For example, he, a regular worker in the meat processing factory, can only get two taels of white sugar tickets a month. During festivals or as a gift, it can be considered very respectable to bring a bag of white sugar to someone's house. If you add ten eggs, it is considered a heavy gift.
Xiang Nuan held up two fingers, "Twenty kilograms."
"How many?"
Zhao Dahai’s eyes widened. Wow, twenty kilograms, my sister is so awesome!
Xiang Nuan had expected this expression from him, so she smiled and said, "This time is different from before. This time I'll give it to you at 75 cents, no tickets required, all the money is yours."
The current market price of sugar is 80 cents per pound, and you need a ticket. If he sells it without a ticket, it won't be a problem to make 20 or 30 cents per pound.
"You really are my sister. I don't know what to say."
This is equivalent to purchasing the goods from her. The profit from reselling these twenty kilograms will definitely be much more than the 10% labor fee she got before.
Xiang Nuan smiled and said, "We are friends now, so we should share the happiness. When you leave, you can bring it back with you."
Zhao Dahai nodded and said, "I'll just say hello to Manman and her husband and leave, but I don't have enough money with me."
Xiang Nuan said nonchalantly: "Just give it all together next time. I'll go home first. When you leave, please go around my door. My house is in the first row in front of Manman's new house, the third one from the east. When you get there, ring the bell and I'll come out. Everyone will be at work by then, so there won't be anyone around."
Zhao Dahai nodded gratefully, "Okay, then go back and get ready."
Xiang Nuan went over to say hello to Zhao Manman and her husband and went home first.
She had previously sold the white sugar during a live broadcast. She removed the packaging bags and collected 20 kilograms of it. She then packaged them in yellow paper, put them in a snakeskin bag and tied it up.
A few minutes after she got home, she heard the sound of a car bell outside. She hurried out with the bag in her arms. When she opened the door a crack, she saw Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai whispered: "No one, give it to me quickly."
It's really exciting to do this in the military compound.
