Chapter 70 Buying a Tank



After Niu Niu came back, she saw her uncle and excitedly ran over to hug Sunan's thighs, shouting, "Uncle... I miss you!"

Su Nan looked at his niece happily, spun her around twice in his arms, and then put her down: "Niuniu is getting more and more beautiful."

Niu Niu laughed proudly.

Su Xia returned to the kitchen, cut another plate of bacon, and added a handful of noodles.

Finally, they brought the table and started calling two people to eat.

"Niuniu, take your uncle to take a shower, then it's time to eat."

Niu Niu, who was playing chess with her uncle, heard it and sensibly led Su Nan to wash.

In the end, all three of them finished eating. Actually, Sunan finished it by himself. He burped after eating. He would eat too much every time he came to his sister's house.

Sunan chatted with his sister and Niuniu for a while, and then went home. He had to work with his parents tomorrow. Every time he was on holiday at home, he would earn work points so that his parents would feel more relaxed.

This is the day to take photos.

After Su Xia got up, she prepared breakfast and ate it with Niu Niu.

He gave her a handful of candy and let her go back to the old house by herself.

As usual, Su Xia rode her bicycle quickly to the county town after leaving the village, and first went to the photo studio to pick up the photos.

The mother and daughter in the photo are wearing the same style of parent-child outfit. Looking at themselves with high ponytails, full faces and slightly raised corners of their mouths, they appear intellectual and gentle.

Niu Niu was wearing a small green flowered skirt, had chubby cheeks and big eyes, and looked very quirky.

Su Xia looked at the photo with satisfaction, hum... Chen Jianguo will be fascinated by it.

Since we will be together for a long time, it is better to get to know each other better.

Su Xia took out the written letter and put a photo of the couple and a photo of Niuniu alone in it.

After going to the post office to mail the letter.

This time, Su Xia plans to go find the ticket scalper to reminisce about the past.

Find the entrance to the black market, pay 50 cents, and you can go in.

Along the way, there were vendors selling all kinds of seasonal vegetables, farmers carrying radishes in homemade baskets, cloth, cotton, and cloth shoes. There was nothing like basic grain and meat, but there were vendors selling eggs, but very few.

Su Xia bought two large baskets for Niu Niu and a small one for Niu Niu, as well as baskets of various sizes, all that she thought would be useful.

The grandfather who sells baskets came over early in the morning to sell the baskets he had woven. He stared at them for such a long time but no one even asked about them. He knew that every family could weave a little, and since he was old and earned few work points, he wanted to supplement the family income.

Seeing Su Xia coming, I didn't hold out much hope, but I didn't expect her to buy most of it in one go.

The old man was very happy and gave me two small round bamboo baskets, which could be used to store steamed buns or as fruit baskets.

Su Xia thought they were practical, so she bought the remaining three.

The final bill was only 5 dollars.

The old man carefully took the money with his shriveled hands and hid it in his arms excitedly.

Helped to put all the big baskets into the small ones, put them away one by one, and handed them to Su Xia: "Girl, everything is ready for you."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Su Xia took it and carried it on her back, then covered her face with the rag that she had carried on her back, and began to walk around slowly again. She walked to a deserted place and used her mind to collect all the woven items she had bought into her space, leaving only the one on the outside. , just pretend.

Then he continued walking inside.

When we walked deeper into the cave, we saw the eldest brother making a deal with someone.

Su Xia waited for a while, and finally walked forward after seeing the man leave with a smile.

"Brother, congratulations, your business is getting better and better."

The ticket seller had noticed Su Xia a long time ago, thinking that it was just for the sake of doing business. Now, after hearing what Su Xia said, he also grinned happily.

"Sister, this is all thanks to you. Since I met you, I have indeed become much more powerful than before."

Every time the eldest brother saw Su Xia coming, he knew that he would make a small fortune, and occasionally a big fortune.

Su Xia looked at her brother's expectant eyes and just smiled. She knew that she couldn't take out the three big tickets and the real objects that she had put in her space. Twice was already the limit.

It’s hard to explain any more.

The ticket seller looked at Su Xia and smiled, and he knew that he should not be anxious. It was okay, as long as he managed the relationship well, and there would be no shortage of opportunities.

"Girl, what are you going to change this time?"

Su Xia thought about the outline she had been looking for before, but she didn't find it, so she wanted to come and ask. After the autumn harvest, it would be good to pickle pickles. She had to prepare more jars, no matter the size.

"Brother, I really need you this time. I want to buy some pickle jars, and I can only think of you. I really don't know where others can find them!"

Big brother was complimented. Actually, this thing is sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but there are only a few of them. Generally, there are people in the farming families who can make it, and they all sell it privately.

The supply and marketing cooperatives still need tickets, especially in the countryside, who will issue industrial tickets?

Fortunately, the neighbors two doors away from my house all do this, big and small, and they all know people privately to trade with.

Don’t mention that this girl thinks she is a lucky star. Every time she gets something, she doesn’t think she has it, and she doesn’t think she knows where it is. I can only say it’s fate!

Su Xia looked at her elder brother who was secretly happy. What's the matter? Is it there or not?

"Brother, please help me. I just separated from my family last year and my family really needs it. Otherwise, we will have nothing to eat in the winter."

Su Xia looks pitiful, hoping to arouse her brother's sympathy!

The ticket seller was awakened by the pitiful voice.

I coughed twice embarrassedly and was distracted again.

"Yes, sister, my neighbor is very good at making this. I'll take you there now."

Then he packed up his things.

Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Not to mention the industrial tickets, she couldn't buy many.

"Thank you, big brother. Take this and go back to help your child and sister-in-law improve their condition."

Su Xia took out a piece of meat weighing about one pound with more fat and less lean meat from the backpack and gave it directly to her eldest brother.

The eldest brother looked at the meat excitedly, quickly put it in his arms and hid it, then looked around again, good, no one was there.

Fortunately, every time I set up a stall, I go to a place with few people.

Su Xia looked at it speechlessly, thinking that she took it out only because she saw that there was no one around.

"Come on, girl, let's go now, there's someone at his house at this time."

As he hurriedly led the way, he said that this girl called herself a lucky star. Look, she can even take out meat. This is one dollar and it is very difficult to buy.

I was secretly happy in my heart, hehe...this time my wife and children got to enjoy it.

Su Xia followed suit and walked for about ten minutes before entering an alley and stopping at the gate of a courtyard.

The eldest brother asked Su Xia to wait aside and walked over to knock on the door. After knocking four or five times, a man about the same age as the eldest brother opened the door.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you here when you're not at work?"

Su Xia saw the ticket seller stepped forward and explained in a low voice.

After a while, that person also started laughing.

Then the eldest brother came over and said, "Sister, all right, just go in and pick and buy. Fortunately, there is a batch of new ones."

After Su Xia followed him in, she saw three rooms, two on the east and two on the west. There was a woodshed in the corner of the yard. Although it was small, it was enough.

Then I walked into a room outside the west wing, and saw large and small jars and pots stacked up.

"Big sister, choose whichever one you like. Don't worry, you were introduced by my brother, and I won't cheat you."

Su Xia is already thirty-five years old since she came here, and has seen many clients.

It can be seen that this person is reliable. After observing it for a while, it feels thick and there are no cracks.

Then he praised: "Brother, your craftsmanship is really good. Each of these is solid and has no cracks."

The eldest brother was praised so much that he became the second ticket seller. He smiled foolishly: "Big sister, this is not false. We rely on this to make a living. We can't fool people."

Su Xia smiled. People nowadays are so cute. Everyone is doing what they can seriously.

Finally, Su Xia bought three large jars, three medium-sized ones, three small ones, five 10-jin jars, five 5-jin jars, and ten 2-jin and 3-jin jars.

Su Xia is preparing to make some sauerkraut, kohlrabi, pickled beans, kimchi and other pickles, and also wants to make chili sauce and tomato sauce.

Buy more this time.

When I finally paid the bill, I had less than a hundred yuan left, and the main large jar only cost 10 yuan each.

"Brother, can you deliver the goods? Just deliver it to the alley opposite the post office. I'll ask the village bullock cart to stop there."

The eldest brother was so happy this time that he hurriedly collected the shots. "One hundred yuan! My monthly salary is only 27.5 yuan, which is equivalent to more than three months' salary."

At this time, after hearing what Su Xia said, he hurriedly replied: "Send it away...

Don't worry, sister, I have a cart and will send it to you in a moment. ”

After hearing this, Su Xia went outside to wait.

The ticket seller looked at his silly neighbor and said, "What do you think, brother? Shouldn't you buy me a drink?"

The eldest brother who was loading the car looked at his brother and said, "No problem, come over in the evening and ask your sister-in-law to cook two dishes, and we two brothers will have a good drink!"

"I'm glad you said that. We have been brothers for so many years, so there is no need to be so polite. You can save this meal and eat it another day. I have to go home today."

Touching the meat in your arms, go home and eat it with your wife and children!

I feel happy just thinking about how excited my wife and children will be.
