Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 113 Something happened to his sister
  Take the money.

Wu Ming couldn't help but feel happy, now his urgent need was solved.

He carefully counted the money in his hand, and after counting the correct ones, he stuffed the money into his pocket, and then said to Lu Jiansheng with a smile: "Brother, if you want to buy a gun in the future, come to me at any time."

"As long as the price is fair, it's easy to talk about."

Lu Jiansheng said politely.

"That's no problem. The price here is the most reasonable."

Lu Jiansheng: "..."

The two exchanged a few words, and then Wu Ming personally sent Lu Jiansheng and Lu Erniu out.

Coming out of the warehouse, Lu Jiansheng couldn't put it down and played with the flower gun in his hand. No man could refuse this exquisite and beautiful pistol.

"Brother Jiansheng, I bought the gun, shall we go back now?"

"Don't worry, let's go to the black market first."

In these days, sewing machines, bicycles, radios and so on.

Forget it, considering that the season will change again in a while, Bai Ruoxi also considered new clothes for Xiaonuitan.

Generally, each adult seems to only have a few industrial coupons per year. To buy one thing, you need at least 20 or 30 coupons, which takes many years to save. If you need it urgently, you will have to "borrow" it from friends and relatives.

You must know that Bai Ruoxi not only has to take care of the housework and take care of two little breast dumplings on weekdays, but also sits on a chair and sews clothes one by one whenever she has free time. Now, even if it is dark, she still has to wait for a while while waiting for kerosene. .

For important industrial products such as sewing machines, it is not enough to have industrial coupons. Generally, people have to line up in the unit to draw lots to see who is lucky enough to get the quota allocated to the unit, and then get a sewing ticket.

These large item tickets are often issued by public agencies. For example, if you want to buy a bicycle, this is definitely a big-ticket item for an ordinary family. In addition to a hundred or tens of yuan in RMB, you also need to pay more than 40 industrial coupons.

I had just made my own clothes a while ago, and I quickly asked Lu Jiansheng to pull out more cloth and make clothes for him.

Also because there is not much entertainment in rural areas these days, making clothes is something that women prefer to do, especially women with children. They like to make up for themselves when they have nothing to do, and at the same time they can make a contribution to the family.

Bicycles, watches, sewing machines, etc. all also require industrial coupons.

Lu Jiansheng saw this and felt pain in his heart. He told Bai Ruoxi but she didn't listen. He told her to go to the county tailor shop, but Bai Ruoxi was reluctant.

Lu Erniu asked at this time.

He planned to buy Bai Ruoxi a sewing machine. When getting married in the city these days, any girl wouldn't want a sewing machine as a gift. Having a sewing machine is a very prestigious thing, and girls in the countryside can only envy her.

Most women of this era are like this, regardless of whether they are intellectuals or illiterate, except of course because women of this era are hard-working.

However, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy sewing machines.

If you don't have quotas and industrial coupons for growing items, you won't be able to buy them at all. Not even if you have money.

Otherwise, how could a sewing machine become one of the three most important wedding items these days? After thirty or forty years, whoever gives a woman a sewing machine when she gets married is looking for scolding.

Moreover, when he married Bai Ruoxi, he didn't get any gift. Lu Jiansheng also wanted to give Bai Ruoxi a surprise.

There are few girls who don’t like sewing machines.
  Bai Ruoxi must also like it, and it can also make Bai Ruoxi's sewing of clothes easier.

Now that he had cash in hand, he also bought a pistol. Naturally, he couldn't forget his wife. He also had a "big item" that he wanted to buy for Bai Ruoxi for a long time.

Lu Jiansheng remembered that he once knew a person in his previous life. In order to buy a watch, he had to save up industrial coupons for one or two years before he could buy it.

Workers in the city these days have seized tickets for sewing machines. It is no exaggeration to say that when they return home, the whole family feels like celebrating the New Year.

It is not difficult to get industrial certificates, but what is difficult is sewing airline tickets. If you find a purchasing station manager like Huang Hailong, who has a wide network of contacts, there is no way. However, the two of them do not have a deep friendship.
  Another way is to try the black market ticket dealers.

Of course, Lu Jiansheng was not very sure whether it was possible or not. After all, this thing was really difficult to handle.

He found a ticket seller on the black market and exchanged tickets so many times, but he had never seen a ticket seller take out a ticket for a large object like a sewing machine.

But that didn't stop him from asking. These ticket sellers had a wide range of channels. As long as they spent a little money, they might be able to get them from somewhere.

Walk into the alleys of the black market.

After a while, he saw a sneaky young man in front of him, Lu Jiansheng, and immediately walked up.

This young man's name is Qi Haijun, and he is a ticket seller. Because he often buys tickets here, the two of them often interact with each other, and they are now familiar with each other.

Before Lu Jiansheng could pass by, Qi Haijun recognized Lu Jiansheng from a distance.
  Knowing that business is coming again, I couldn't help but feel happy.

This person has already bought tickets for several dollars from him privately, and he is a big customer.

He quickly came over. "Brother is here again. Whatever tickets you want today, I'll give you some of them."

Lu Jiansheng nodded and said, "Give me ten more food stamps for one kilogram, and two kerosene stamps."

"By the way, I also want to ask something. Do you have any industrial papers and sewing tickets in your hand?"

"Industrial rolls? Sewing tickets? I don't have any here. Although industrial rolls are easier to get, it's hard for me to get them even if I get them."

Qi Haijun shook his head. Industrial papers are generally difficult to get, let alone sewing tickets. It is very difficult to get, and not many people are willing to spend money to buy them on the small black market in this county.

Lu Jiansheng smiled and lit a cigarette for himself, then handed another one to Qi Haijun, and then said calmly: "I want to buy a sewing machine, let me see if I can think of a way?"

Qi Haijun took the cigarette and hung it on his ear. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Jiansheng.

He thought for a moment, scratched his head again, and said: "Although I don't have industrial rolls, I can definitely get them if I want to, but the price is not low. If you sincerely want it, I can get it for you." .”

Qi Haijun hesitated for a moment and said.

Some tickets, even if they are obtained, are difficult to sell, such as industrial tickets. Although he can get them, he is afraid of losing them in his hands. If someone else comes, he definitely does not want to take the risk.

But Lu Jiansheng does business readily, to his liking, and he doesn't show off when he's rich.

As for this cigarette, it was very rare for anyone to offer cigarettes to a ticket seller like him, not to mention someone like Lu Jiansheng who spent a lot of money, so he wouldn't be deceived. “As for sewing tickets, in our county, sewing machines are the hardest to buy, and there are only a small number of sewing machines. Even if you save up your industrial coupons, you still need to grab a quota and get a sewing machine coupon before you can finally buy one.”

Qi Haijun continued to add.

"Well, can I get a sewing ticket? If I don't have a sewing ticket, it's useless for me to ask for these industrial rolls."

Lu Jiansheng asked immediately.

"I'll go ask, it should be fine!"

Qi Haijun didn't dare to talk too much. Although he was a ticket seller, he couldn't get everything, especially such rare things as sewing tickets.

When Lu Jiansheng heard this, he immediately smiled and took out another cigarette and handed it over. "That would be troublesome."

"Brother, don't worry! I can definitely get this cigarette for you!"

"By the way, brother, I want to get the tickets. How can I find you?"

"Don't worry about this. I will go into the city every few days and I will definitely look for you then."

"Good Le!"

~

Come out of the alley,

Lu Jiansheng immediately took Lu Erniu home.

When the donkey cart arrived at the village next to Liuligouzi, he suddenly saw a fork in the road ahead.

A familiar figure was hunched over, carrying a sack with unknown contents inside.

Lu Jiansheng stared at him for a few times to confirm that he had read it correctly.

Then he stopped the donkey and shouted: "The cow tree."

Chen Genniu.

The third uncle of brother-in-law Chen Youde.

Lu Jiansheng had met him several times at his brother-in-law's house, so he had some impressions.

Chen Genniu heard someone calling him and subconsciously looked up.

As a result, when I looked around, I saw Lu Jiansheng on the donkey cart.

He was stunned for a moment before he recognized it.

"Brother Lu Mei, where are you?"

"I just came back from the county town, Genniushu, why are you here?"

Lu Jiansheng took out the Yingchun brand cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Chen Genniu.

Good guy!
  cigarette!

Chen Genniu has always smoked dry cigarettes.

He also saw city people smoking cigarettes.

I heard that cigarettes have a light smell, but they are comfortable to smoke. It is called a fragrance!
  Otherwise, why are they called cigarettes? !

Chen Gen Newton was a little excited.

He stretched out his rough, calloused hands, took the cigarette, and hung it carefully on his ear.

"My daughter got married here and happened to come over for a visit."

Lu Jiansheng then remembered that Chen Genniu's eldest daughter seemed to be married to the village next to him.

He hasn't been to his brother-in-law's house for a while.

He was about to ask about the situation of the eldest sister's family.

I heard Chen Genniu sigh,

He said, "Your sister is really unlucky. She suffered a lot this time. She came out from the kitchen carrying a thermos, but she accidentally slipped it, and a pot of freshly boiled water poured all over her."

"That leg is so deadly!"

Chen Genniu sighed and told how Lu Mei was injured.

Lu Jiansheng's head buzzed.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? My sister was scalded by boiling water."

Lu Jiansheng's head was buzzing.

He didn't respond.

Chen Genniu took a look and realized that Lu Mei and her brother didn't know the feelings!
  "You don't know? It's been two days since your sister was burned."

Lu Jiansheng has always been grateful to his eldest sister. They say that the eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister is the mother. This sentence is not an exaggeration when applied to Lu Mei. Lu Mei has been good to Lu Jiansheng since she was a child.

When he was young, his parents were busy away from home, and it was his eldest sister who took care of him. He remembered that when he was a child, his eldest sister was reluctant to eat the delicious food at home, so she left all the food for him, not to mention other things.

At this time, Lu Jiansheng felt worried when he heard that his eldest sister had been scalded by boiling water.
