He was about to say goodbye, but when he saw the tickets Chu Tian had placed on the table, he said embarrassedly, "Brother Tian, can you sell me some of these tickets?"
Chu Tian picked up the ticket on the table and asked, "What ticket do you want?"
Sun Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any biscuit tickets or candy tickets?"
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow, found three cookie tickets and two candy tickets and handed them to him, then smiled and joked, "Why? You want to eat cookies and candy?"
After thinking about it, I only kept two soap tickets and gave him the remaining dozen tickets.
Sun Weiguo was surprised, "Brother Tian, you gave it all to me?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "I don't need any of these. Besides, I will start issuing these tickets from the beginning of next month."
"If you need it in the future, come to me and I'll give it to you."
Sun Weiguo nodded. "How much is it? I'll give you the money."
Chu Tian pushed him and said, "Alright, it's just a few tickets, why pay for it? Do you think your brother Tian is obsessed with money?"
Sun Weiguo grinned and said, "Well, I won't be polite to Brother Tian..."
"Well, let's go to the fields together?"
As he said that, Chu Tian stood up, threw the money from his pocket directly into the space, picked up Pingping who was pacing around the table, and shouted to Xinxin who was squatting and playing by herself at the door.
"Xinxin, let's go. Dad will take you and your brother to the fields."
Xinxin stood up, patted the dirt off her hands, ran to Chu Tian and said, "Dad, Xinxin wants to bring some orange candy."
Pingping heard the word "Juzitang" and her eyes lit up instantly. She turned to look at Chu Tian and shouted, "Sister, Tang..."
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sun Weiguo and shouted in surprise, "Weiguo, did you hear my son shouting for sugar?"
"Ah? Hmm..."
Sun Weiguo nodded hesitantly, thinking, what's wrong with just calling for candy? Why is Brother Tian so happy?
Xinxin stood beside Chu Tian's legs, hugged his legs and shouted, "Brother, shout again..."
Chu Tian also shook Pingping, "Pingping, do you want some orange candy? If you do, say it again!"
Pingping looked at Chu Tian, then looked down at Xinxin. After a while, her little mouth opened and closed and spit out "candy", which made Chu Tian and Xinxin cheer again.
Xinxin shouted happily, "Daddy, Xinxin has taught my little brother to say 'sugar'!"
Chu Tian freed up a hand and rubbed Xinxin's head, "Our Xinxin is awesome! She taught her little brother how to speak!"
Xinxin raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Daddy, Xinxin can also teach her brother to say other things!"
Chu Tian smiled, "Okay."
"Go get the orange candies, we're going to the fields..."
Sun Weiguo, "..."
When Xinxin went to get the candy, Chu Tian looked at Sun Weiguo's speechless expression, just smiled and didn't explain.
Time at home always passes the fastest, and soon it was time to go back to work. Before dawn, Sun Weiguo and Sun Baoguo drove a horse-drawn carriage to Chu Tian's house, and Yao Xiujuan had already gotten up to cook for Chu Tian.
Yao Xiujuan had just finished cooking and was about to call Chu Tian to eat when she heard someone knocking on the door. She opened the door and saw it was Sun Weiguo and Sun Baoguo, so she shouted towards the main room.
"Brother Tian, Brother Weiguo and Brother Baoguo are here."
Chu Tian walked out of the main hall, nodded to Sun Weiguo and Sun Baoguo, and then said to Yao Xiujuan, "Xiujuan, serve some rice to Weiguo and Baoguo as well."
Yao Xiujuan knew that Chu Tian wanted to send her away, so she didn't say anything. She just nodded and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Chu Tian signaled Sun Weiguo to drive the carriage in and load the rice onto it. He moved out twenty bags of rice, each weighing 100 kilograms, from the space last night and placed them in the warehouse. He planned to go to Li Gang's place in the regiment with Sun Weiguo and Sun Baoguo before going to work this morning.
After dinner, Chu Tian said to Yao Xiujuan, "On the day I came back, Captain Meng only told me to go to the transport team today after three days of rest, but he didn't say anything about sending a vehicle, so I guess I'll be back in the afternoon."
After a pause, he continued, "Even if we were to go out, it wouldn't be today."
Yao Xiujuan smiled and nodded, "Then we'll wait for you to come back for dinner."
Chu Tian nodded, looked outside and saw that it was still dark, then said, "You should rest for a while, we are leaving..."
When Li Gang saw that Chu Tian and his team had really brought in 2,000 kilograms of rice, he was so happy that his eyes were full of smiles. While Sun Weiguo and Sun Baoguo were unloading the rice, he pulled Chu Tian over and thanked him repeatedly.
"Brother Chu, thank you so much. I had no other choice but to ask you. Yesterday, Brother Sun told me that it would be delivered today. I was skeptical, but I didn't expect you to actually deliver it..."
"Since you promised, it will definitely be delivered."
After saying that, Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "However, it hasn't been long since the spring plowing ended. Is there such a shortage of food on the black market?"
Li Gang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Hey, when is there no shortage of food in the black market?"
After a pause, he continued, "However, I don't want this batch of fine grain to sell on the black market..."
Seeing Chu Tian looking at him doubtfully, he smiled, pulled Chu Tian into the main hall, and handed him the money he had counted yesterday. "Brother Chu, you helped me solve a big problem, so I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you this batch of rice at the usual highest price of 1.8 yuan per catty plus 50 cents!"
"Thank you, Brother Li Gang."
Chu Tian looked at the stack of money and raised his eyebrows, thinking that after the price of grain came down last year, the price has been between one yuan and sixty yuan per catty. Today he bought it at one yuan and eighty cents plus fifty cents, which is two yuan and three hundred yuan. These two thousand catties of rice cost four thousand six hundred yuan, which is really a lot of money in this era.
Li Gang waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to thank me for."
After a pause, Li Gang leaned closer to Chu Tian and said, "By the way, you asked me to help you collect jewelry, ornaments, gold and other things. I collected some. Take a look?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "I have to go to work at the transport team soon. I'll come find you when I get off work."
Li Gang nodded. "Okay, when you get off work, come find me at the house near the black market. I'll be there in a bit. I'll be staying there all day!"
Chu Tian nodded, "Okay..."
The two chatted for a while about Chu Tian's work. After seeing Sun Weiguo and others unload the rice, Chu Tian and the other two said goodbye.
"Weiguo, Baoguo brother, you guys go back, I'm going to work."
It was getting late, and there was less than half an hour left before work. Chu Tian rode Zuo Zhuang's bicycle, said a few words to the two brothers Sun Weiguo, and left.
Chu Tian arrived at the transport team, parked his bicycle under the shed and locked it, then walked into the lounge of the first team. He saw that the team members had not arrived yet and were idle. Chu Tian saw that the floor and the table were dirty, so he thought about it and went out to find a rag and a broom to clean them.
When Captain Meng arrived, he saw someone cleaning the lounge of the first team from a distance. He was wondering who was so kind as to clean the lounge. It was definitely not one of his drivers...
