Yang Zhaozhao met a man selling honeycomb coal at the entrance of Hutong and bought several carts of coal.
A lot of coal was burned at home. Yang Zhaozhao saw that this winter was still so cold that her nose was about to freeze off, and she was afraid of the cold.
In addition to ordering several trucks for his own family, he also ordered two hundred yuan worth of coal for Mr. Gu.
Coal is not cheap now. A piece of coal costs two hundred yuan. The old man's knees are afraid of cold, so he can use coal freely in winter without shivering.
There was an old lady named Cui who often came to the house and needed a lot of coal. The coal ordered by Yang Zhaozhao arrived, and Li Yiling took the time to put the honeycomb coal and coal balls in the corner and covered them with a tarpaulin.
Yang Zhaozhao went to the supermarket and saw the employees whose faces were red from the cold. He gave each of them coal coupons worth 20 yuan as a winter subsidy.
They were very happy to get the coal tickets.
After all, their salary is not low, 40 yuan a month, and there are various benefits, which is no worse than those units.
Previously, there was a clerk who planned to not come to work after the Chinese New Year. Now he is getting 40 yuan a month as a salary. It is said that after he is converted to a regular employee in three months, his salary will be increased by 5 yuan.
At this time, the salary of 45 yuan a month is really not low, and it can support a whole family.
Most of them are laid-off women, and they are lucky to earn half of their salary by sweeping the streets.
Seeing that the supermarket salary is good and coal subsidies are issued, they don't want to resign at all.
There was no heating where Su Heng lived, and he had to rely on his righteousness to survive the winter. Although there was no supermarket, it was still cold when he returned home at night, so Yang Zhaozhao ordered a truckload of coal for him.
Su Heng bought a coal stove and took out the pipe, so he didn't have to worry about gas poisoning. He had food and drink this winter and lived a good life.
It was getting colder and colder when riding a bike, and the bus was hard to wait for and crowded, so Yang Zhaozhao got a three-wheeled motorcycle from the supply space, which was a fully enclosed type.
Li Yiling looked at the three-wheeled vehicle and asked in surprise: "Did you buy it?"
Yang Zhaozhao smiled and nodded: "Do you know how to drive? If not, I'll teach you in a few days. I'll drive tomorrow too!"
"Let me try it." Li Yiling had never driven this kind of three-wheeled vehicle. It was actually a motorcycle with an additional compartment on the back. There were quite a few of these vehicles on the streets.
The price is not cheap, but you won’t be afraid of the cold or wind when driving it in winter. People who can’t afford a car drive this car when traveling, and some people buy it specifically to pick up passengers.
Yang Zhaozhao would have driven the car if it hadn't been too conspicuous.
Such cars are all in number. If she suddenly drives a car, many people will be watching her. If they check and find no purchase record of her car, it will be exposed.
It’s different with three-wheeled motorcycles. If you buy too many of them, you can confuse them.
Yang Zhaozhao decided that he should pay for the car with his own money and deposit a license to buy it, so that it would be more formal and he would feel more at ease driving it.
After all, someone had reported her misconduct in the supermarket twice. If they knew she had bought a car, they would definitely report the problems with her car. Yang Zhaozhao didn't want to get herself into trouble.
"Do you want to take a ride today?" Xiao Cui came out with her schoolbag on her back. She looked at the windproof three-wheeled motorcycle and happily circled around it, wishing she could get on it for a ride.
Yang Zhaozhao briefly explained to Li Yiling how to operate the three-wheeled motorcycle, and drove it around for a while, taking them for a stroll in the alley.
Li Yiling watched for a while, then he got in the car, started the engine.
The three-wheeled motorcycle started slowly, and suddenly the accelerator was increased, and the three-wheeled motorcycle almost jumped out.
Yang Zhaozhao was so scared that he hugged Xiao Cui tightly, but Xiao Cui found it amusing and started giggling.
Li Yiling glanced at Yang Zhaozhao apologetically and said, "Hold on tight. I'll drive you to school."
"Okay!" Xiao Cui agreed.
Yang Zhaozhao nodded.
Soon, Li Yiling, who had learned how to drive, drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to take Xiao Cui to school. Many parents who sent their children to school looked at the three-wheeled motorcycle in the cold wind with envy.
It would be nice if they also had a three-wheeled motorcycle.
At the school gate, Yang Zhaozhao met Xiaoxiao, who was sent by her grandfather. Yang Zhaozhao touched Xiaoxiao's head and took two candies from his pocket and gave them to her: "Hurry up and go to school!"
Then he asked Xiao Xiao's grandfather to get in the car and drive him a distance. Xiao Xiao's grandfather didn't hesitate to get in the car and asked, "How much is this car?"
It was winter and the cold was unbearable. My nose, ears and feet were all numb.
Grandpa Xiao thought that he still had 4,000 yuan in his hand, and if he had a few hundred yuan, he would also like to buy a three-wheeled motorcycle to drive, although his legs were not in good condition and he didn't use his legs much when driving.
Yang Zhaozhao said a price: "6,900."
Xiaoxiao's grandfather took a deep breath. He thought he could buy one for one or two thousand yuan, but he didn't plan to buy one. He thought there was nothing else he could do with one or two thousand yuan. He could just buy a three-wheeled motorcycle to send Xiaoxiao to school.
If it's a few hundred, I'd consider it.
Now the road is completely blocked.
Xiao Xiao’s grandfather knew that Yang Zhaozhao and his family were rich, but he didn’t expect them to be so rich.
It seems that running a supermarket really makes money, otherwise one wouldn't spend 6,900 to buy a three-wheeled motorcycle for no reason. Wouldn't it be nice to squeeze into the bus and save a few bucks for the fare?
Yang Zhaozhao didn't say much about Xiaoxiao's grandfather's silence. He asked about his recent situation and told him to burn more coal to keep warm when it was cold. If he found any old items, he should remember to show them to him.
The little grandfather nodded, knowing that those old items were probably antiques that could be sold for money.
If you pick up a good one, you can sell it for one or two hundred yuan, which is enough for a year's coal.
Li Yiling drove a three-wheeled motorcycle to school. Many people saw them getting out of the car. Some people curled their lips and said, "Tsk, they have opened a supermarket, but they can't even afford a car. It doesn't look like they make much money."
"Didn't they say supermarket business is booming?"
"I guess he still doesn't have money, otherwise he wouldn't be driving a three-wheeled vehicle!"
"Bullshit!"
Yang Zhaozhao saw many people looking at him, either looking at them or their three-wheeled motorcycles.
Probably guessing their little thoughts, Yang Zhaozhao ignored them, made an appointment with Li Yiling to eat in the cafeteria at noon, and then went to the classroom to read.
When Wang Bailing heard that the three-wheeled motorcycle parked on the roadside belonged to Yang Zhaozhao, he gave it a disdainful look: "It's worth a few thousand dollars, and you think it's embarrassing to drive it out."
Orange nodded and agreed: "I'd rather ride a bike."
Wang Bailing rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you know how cold it is to ride a bicycle in winter? I would rather ride a bus." Thinking of something, Wang Bailing said, "Chengzi, can you pay me back before the New Year?"
Orange hesitated: "Can I pay you back three dollars first? I will try to pay it back before the New Year."
Wang Bailing nodded unhappily: "Don't try to deny your debt. My money didn't come from the wind."
Chengzi nodded and glanced at Yang Zhaozhao's three-wheeled motorcycle. She suddenly felt sad. She heard that the three-wheeled motorcycle cost several thousand yuan, but she couldn't even take out a dozen yuan.
It's shameful to laugh at others. Orange feels that he is shameful enough.
At noon, they had lunch in the cafeteria. Li Yiling was getting food, Yang Zhaozhao got two servings of soup, and they happened to see Chengzi getting food. Chengzi got a steamed bun, took a cup of water and left.
She happened to meet Yang Zhaozhao, who was hiding a steamed bun the size of her fist behind her.
Yang Zhaozhao saw the panic and embarrassment in Chengzi's eyes, so he looked away indifferently, walked away, and ignored Chengzi completely.
But I heard someone talking about Chengzi: "I heard that she only has one steamed bread per day. I don't know how she manages. After all, she has a subsidy of more than ten yuan. She can't have big fish and meat, but at least one steamed bread per meal is enough."
“I heard that you owe Wang Bailing money and you need to pay it back!”
"I can't stand eating only one steamed bun a day."
It was up to Chengzi to save money, but Yang Zhaozhao would never starve herself.
Besides, Orange asked for it. Who asked her to steal?
When Chengzi was leaving, he happened to see Li Yiling passing by with two plates, braised pork, braised chicken with potatoes, and braised hairtail, with a little boiled cabbage.
There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, which make people drool.
Then she looked at the steamed bread in her hand, which was her daily ration.
Orange suddenly wanted to cry.
