Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 122 121 Purchasing goods and settling accounts, squatting on the fence

Qian Shude has worked in the street supply and marketing cooperative for nearly three years, during which time he often interacted with people from all walks of life.

In addition to being a good talker and talking to everyone, he also has a very easy-going personality.

He is a person who can chat with anyone and will not have any conflicts with anyone, unless someone is looking for trouble.

He and Xu Ning met in the autumn of 81. Qian Shude had just started working when he met Xu Ning and a group of people entering the supply and marketing cooperative. At that time, he did not buy anything, so he dragged the salesperson to chat, which annoyed everyone who was buying things. gone.

Qian Shude then walked out to deal with them, and finally Xiaozhi used his emotions to reason, and persuaded Xu Ning and the others to his lounge, and gave them Maoke peanut brittle candies to eat.

Xu Ning, a group of social people, saw that Qian Shude was so particular and felt embarrassed to stay here and take advantage.

Later, Xu Ning also helped Qian Shude solve several small things.

Just like that, as time went by, the two of us became familiar with each other.

Qian Shude gave Chai Bing a cigarette and asked him to sit down. Then he saw that Xu Ning was already sitting leisurely on his stool.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then chatted about the past. After hearing that Xu Ning had stepped back from the cliff, Qian Shude was not as surprised and incredulous as others, but spoke in a calm tone and with a firm gaze.

"When we first met, I knew you had a good nature, but your heart was too unrestrained. It's good to be stable now. Whatever you want to do, you can definitely do it!"

Qian Shude's speech makes people feel comfortable. He does not just pick out nice things to say, but says the right words at the right time.

When they talked about Xu Ning running around the mountains to hunt for sieges, slaughtering pigs, hunting bears and wolves, even Qian Shude, who was in a stable mood, showed a look of shock.

He asked in detail again and again, the more he listened, the more shocked he became. After Xu Ning finished speaking, Qian Shude lit a cigarette again.

He exhaled the smoke and said, "You can scare me!"

"The fact that I can scare you old money means that I have some tricks up my sleeve?" Xu Ning asked with a smile.

"It's not just two, you have four or five! Haha... That's great. Then you came to the street to buy something?"

"Well, isn't this the end of the New Year? My family and my neighbors want to buy something to celebrate the New Year."

Xu Ning took out the note from his pocket and handed it to Qian Shude, "Old Qian, take a look at it."

Qian Shude took it and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He raised his head suddenly and asked, "Have you made a fortune?"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "There are dozens of them, how can I use them all at home?"

"It's easy to talk about pencils, erasers, etc., but for rice and noodles, you have to give me the exact amount, otherwise I can't explain it."

Xu Ning dug into his pocket again and took out food stamps and face stamps, "I have prepared them for you. Can I make things difficult for you?"

Qian Shude watched him take out a stack of tickets and nodded readily: "Okay! I'll get it for you at the lowest price."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, old man."

"What's the trouble? We're all buddies. You two sit here for a while while I go out."

"OK."

Qian Shude took the note and walked out. When Chai Bing saw the door closed, he put out the cigarette in his hand.

He looked at Xu Ning and said with a smile: "You know a lot of people on Qing'an Street? Can you get along so well with the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Old Qian is a very easy-going person, and he can chat with anyone. I spent this year alone at home thinking that he would leave, but I didn't expect that he would still be working in this supply and marketing cooperative."

Chai Bing said: "This is a good job, can I go anywhere I want?"

They chatted in the room for a long time before Qian Shude opened the door and walked in.

He explained with a smile on his face: "I went to take a look at the goods list. Are you in a hurry?"

Xu Ning said: "Then why are you so anxious? I don't even want to leave now that you're such a good Yan Mao Ke."

"Haha, that's fine! I've sorted out the goods for you, how about we settle the score?"

"Row!"

Qian Shude sat on the right side of Xu Ning, spread out his notebook, and with a pencil in his hand, he opened his mouth to give Xu Ning a quote.

"The rice is 3 cents. I'll give it to you at 5 cents. The total is 3 kilograms, which is a total of 300 yuan."

"The flour is 3 cents, and I'll give it to you at 7 cents. It's a total of 3 kilograms, which is a total of 200 yuan."

"These leather shoes cost 25 yuan a pair, a bundle of pencils cost 2 cents, and a pile of homework books cost 6 cents..."

这次徐宁来街里可谓是进货的，除了以上这些，他还买了10斤糖、20斤盐、四条迎春、六瓶玉春酒、一块手表、10包火柴、10块香皂肥皂、一捆头绳、10个发卡、雪花膏、万紫千红……等等。

The price of salt is 1 cents, sugar is 5 cents, and matches are 9 cents per pack, with a pack of ten boxes.

The most expensive single item is the watch. He bought a Grade 35 Sanfeng brand mechanical watch for yuan.

However, Qian Shude always calculates the lowest price, and each item is cheaper from 5 cents to 5 yuan.

Qian Shude drew the final ledger with a pencil and said with a smile: "The total is 345 yuan, right?"

"Correct!"

Xu Ning nodded readily, took out the money from his pocket, counted out 345 yuan and handed it to him, then counted another 5 yuan and patted Qian Shude's leg.

"Old Qian, thank you for taking care of me in the past two years. This time I came here and thought you were gone, so I didn't buy anything. You can buy two packs of cigarettes for yourself."

Qian Shude raised his hand and threw 5 yuan into his crotch, "Don't do this. If you want to buy me something, you have to be really thoughtful. Next time you come and bring me a bear paw. I'll listen to what you said." I’m also a little greedy about bear hunting.”

Xu Ning didn't argue with him, "Okay! I have to come back before the end of the year, and I'll bring it to you then."

"That's it! How about loading now? How did you two get here?"

"I came by car. Please help me find two people to carry things to the car."

"Okay!" Qian Shude nodded simply.

After the three of them walked out of the house, Qian Shude asked two people to help move things, while Chai Bing quickly walked outside and moved the car. Xu Ning, Chai Bing and the two young men moved the things into the back compartment and filled half a small car.

Qian Shude came over carefully and checked the goods list carefully.

"Nothing bad."

"You did everything exactly as you specified, and you even ordered it specifically."

Qian Shude smiled and said, "I'm a little nervous these days, so I'll feel at ease after clicking twice more."

The two guys moving the goods entered the house, and Chai Bing got into the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands and waiting.

Qian Shude sent Xu Ning to the passenger door and said with a smile: "I see you are living a prosperous life now. Isn't that better than fooling around? Remember the one who stabbed me last time?" Damn it, you are the one who blocked my troubles."

"Remember it."

"He is squatting on a fence now. I heard he was sentenced to eight years."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "That Lao Deng is just pretending to be a criminal, he just squats on the fence."

"Well, you are the only one who has the most savvy among these people on the street. They are just stupid, and they will end up harming themselves. Hey...I heard that your friend Shouhou got a peanut pill?"

"Well, he committed a serious crime. Is it just because of this that I went back to the village to relax?"

Qian Shude raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "It's going well now. I've said before that as long as you work hard, you will become a talented person. Look at it now... you can even catch up with wholesale when buying things."

"Haha, all the neighbors need it. My third brother happens to be leaving it here. What if I don't come to fix it?"

"That's it, when you come back next time, we can chat again."

"Okay, I'll come over and get you two bear paws next time. You can taste them then."

"Okay, get in the car quickly."

Xu Ning opened the car door and got in, then waved to Qian Shude, Chai Bing honked the horn, stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

Qian Shude stood there and stared for a while, then smiled and murmured: "I didn't expect him to change so much, eh... he's pretty pissy."

……

It's about half past two.

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu went to the woods to pull some firewood in the morning. After sawing and splitting the firewood, they had a quick meal and then came to Wang Hu's house to work in the afternoon.

When the roar of cars rang out in the street, they put down their axes and turned towards the courtyard gate.

At this time, Chai Bing drove a Dongfeng truck and happened to pass by Lao Wang's house and parked the car in front of Lao Xu's house.

Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao, who were chatting in the room, heard the sound and hurried out.

"Second brother! You're back very early."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Nothing else, why don't you come back? Hurry up and unload the goods in the trunk."

"Got it!"

Li Fuqiang asked: "Have you bought rice, noodles and everything?"

"My elder brother has asked me to do something, can I handle it?"

"Haha, that's right!"

Li Fuqiang was very happy. When he and Xu Ning came to the trunk car together, Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao happened to walk to the entrance of the hospital.

"Er Ning, did you and your third brother eat on the street?"

Chai Bing was on the other side of the car and said, "Auntie, we will eat first and then go shopping afterward. Don't worry, Er Ning won't make me hungry."

"That's ok, let me take a look at what I bought."

When Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao came to the trunk and looked at the things inside, they were a little confused.

"Hey, mom, why don't you buy these old rice noodles?"

Xu Ning looked at Li Fuqiang and said, "Then you ask my eldest brother, he asked me to buy it."

Liu Lizhen turned her head and looked at Li Fuqiang suspiciously, only to hear him say: "Aunt, what am I thinking about? It's the end of the year, isn't it? I don't have much to buy for you and my uncle, just some rice and noodles. How much is that?" Meaning."

Liu Lizhen frowned and said: "Hey, Qiangzi, why are you like this? Buy these old rice noodles! You can take them home later, your uncle and I don't want them."

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "Hey, old aunt, Shuhua and I have a lot of thoughts. Besides, our family spends all day eating here, just like living at my own home..."

"Pull it down quickly. How can I give you that stuttering thing? I understand. You must take it back."

At this time, Xu Ning said with a smile: "My eldest brother bought 185 kilograms of rice. How long do you want him to eat it?"

"What are you talking about? At 185 pounds... you can't live well? Ah, Shuhua didn't scold you?"

Li Fuqiang grinned and said: "Auntie, this is Shuhua's idea. We have saved a lot of food stamps over the years. If we don't spend it, why don't we keep it in our hands to get maggots?"

Liu Lizhen sighed: "Let me tell you how good you two are..."

At this time, Xu Ning turned around and said, "Oh my god, stop nagging me now and go to the whole house quickly."

Han Fengjiao hugged Liu Lizhen's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, let the four of them move. We can clear out the outhouse. It's full of random branches."

"Well, then you four can move."

After that, the two of them turned around and went back to the house to clean up the outhouse.
