Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 185 Xueting: You should have what others have

Unexpectedly, Wang Jun actually managed to get a ticket for sewing this time, but Chen Weidong immediately thought about it.
It is normal for Wang Jun to get sewing tickets and even TV tickets now.

It's not that Wang Jun has become more capable, and it's already 1985, and some places have relaxed their policies.
Even some things have been de-ticketed, and the “big stuff” isn’t as hard to get as before.

"I want a sewing plane ticket and an industrial coupon!" Chen Weidong said.

"Let me make it clear first, these things are not cheap to get, so let's be frank!"

Wang Jun took out a stack of coupons from his cotton coat pocket.

At the top is a green sewing machine coupon with neatly printed fonts.

In the middle is a sewing machine pattern, and in the lower left corner it says - "One machine per coupon, invalid after expiration." The official seal of Heisong County Department Store is stamped on the right, and the stack behind it is industrial coupons.

Wang Jun said: "It's easy to get these industrial coupons, but it's really hard to get these sewing machine coupons."

He sighed twice and handed a stack of coupons to Chen Weidong.

Chen Weidong smiled and didn't take it seriously!
"Look, there are a total of one sewing machine coupon and thirty industrial coupons! You can buy a sewing machine with these."

Wang Jun reminded.

Chen Weidong took it without hesitation, counted it, and found that the quantity was correct.

He asked: "How much?"

Wang Jun said, "Thirty industrial coupons only cost seven yuan, but this sewing ticket costs twenty yuan, which makes a total of twenty-seven yuan. I'll give you twenty-five yuan, which is a good price!"

Chen Weidong raised his eyebrows: "Twenty-five dollars? Affordable!"

You have to know that a sewing machine only costs about one or two hundred yuan, but the ticket alone costs twenty or thirty yuan, which is not affordable at all.

"Yes! Don't worry, brother. I didn't make much money from you. This is a sewing ticket and a Butterfly sewing machine. They are genuine good stuff and a big brand in Shanghai!"

"I know you don't like those Bee and Pumpkin brand sewing machines. If you want them, I will definitely get you the best tickets."

Wang Jun said with a smile.

There are several brands of sewing machines these days. One of the best is definitely the Butterfly brand, which is well-known throughout the country. Other brands of sewing machines cost around 150 yuan in Hesong County.

The price of a Butterfly sewing machine is 10 to 20 yuan higher, selling for about 160 to 170 yuan.

It has to be said that Wang Jun is a man of business potential, as he is flattering in his words. However, Chen Weidong is not a young man, and he will not bargain for the price if he is flattered!

"The price is too high! I'd better look for someone else!" Chen Weidong shook his head.

"Don't be impatient, brother! We can slowly negotiate the price! Twenty-three! Twenty-three! If it's any lower, I'll lose money!"

"One price, twenty dollars! If it works, we'll leave. If not, we'll leave! You'll definitely make some money at this price!"

Chen Weidong spoke.

"Twenty yuan! Brother, you are too..." Wang Jun pretended to be embarrassed, and then said: "Okay! Twenty yuan, twenty yuan, I'll just consider it as making friends with you!"

"Brother Chen, if you need tickets for anything else in the future, be sure to come find me!"

Before leaving, Wang Jun said hello.

"it is good!"

Chen Weidong nodded, and left the alley with Shitou and Bingzi.

Afterwards, the three of them found an old man driving a donkey cart in the county town, paid their money to get off the donkey cart, and Chen Weidong sat on the sled. The old man drove the donkey cart and took them to Jiuqutun.

On the way, Shitou and Bingzi were very excited. This time when they returned from Hajiang City, they had seen the world, especially the prosperity of big cities. They would definitely tell their wives and families about it when they returned.

After two or three hours, the three of them arrived at Jiuqutun.

"Brother Weidong! Let's go back first!" said Shitou and Bingzi.

"Well, you two go back first!"

Chen Weidong said.

The two of them were carrying large and small bags of poop and rushing home. Chen Weidong was also rushing home. As soon as Chen Weidong arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw Liu Xueting clearing the weeds and trees on the small hillside on the right side of the yard.

The half-meter-deep snow had disappeared. This place was originally a wasteland and not very large in area.

Chen Weidong put down the nylon bag in his hand and walked towards Liu Xueting.

Chen Weidong's footsteps startled Liu Xueting. She looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Weidong, you're back!"

Liu Xueting put down the shovel in her hand and came to Chen Weidong.

"Xueting, what are you doing outside on such a cold day? Your hands are so cold!"

Chen Weidong took Liu Xueting's hand and said with concern.

"My hand has always been like this. Aren't you planning to build a new house in front of the door? The vegetable garden at home will definitely be occupied. I plan to use this piece of land as a vegetable garden. What do you think?"

Liu Xueting said.

Chen Weidong took a look and thought that although this was wasteland, it could be used as a vegetable garden if it was cleaned up, fertilized and filled with donkey manure.

"That's good! But what are you busy doing now? It's not cold! And the ground hasn't thawed yet, why are you planting a vegetable garden?"

"I'm not stupid, and it's not very cold these two days. I just plan to clear the snow, weeds and trees first." Liu Xueting explained.

"You! You just can't sit still. "Okay, come into the house first, little girls?" Chen Weidong couldn't do anything about Liu Xueting, so he turned to ask.

"Big Ni and Second Ni haven't finished school yet. Third Ni and the others are playing with the little fox in the house!"

When Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting entered the room, the four little girls were squatting on the ground, sticking their butts out.
A pair of big watery eyes were staring at the little foxes in the den, and occasionally they asked each other questions in a baby voice.

The footsteps of Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting entering the house startled the four little girls. They thought someone was coming and hurriedly looked outside.

As soon as he saw it was Chen Weidong, he shouted happily in a baby voice: "Dad, you're back! Dad!"

Then, Sanni, Sini, Wuni, Liuni
They all ran towards Chen Weidong with their short legs, shouting and running to Chen Weidong to hug him.

Chen Weidong held the youngest two Ni, Wu Ni and Liu Ni, while San Ni and Si Ni followed him skipping and jumping.

Chen Weidong said: "When I was away, did you listen to your mother?"

"Wuni is very obedient!" "Listen! Listen!"

Xiaoliu also spoke in a baby voice.

Sanni also nodded, but Sini, who was originally excited, suddenly lost her enthusiasm when she heard this question.

"Si Ni, what's wrong?" Chen Weidong asked doubtfully. You know, Si Ni usually has a conspicuous bag.

"Fourth sister was not well behaved and got beaten by mom yesterday!" Wu Ni said in a baby voice.

"Uh-huh!"

"What happened? Did you hit the child?" Chen Weidong looked at Liu Xueting and asked.

"Hit me! You have to hit me!"

Liu Xueting sighed, and then told Chen Weidong how Si Ni bullied the children in the village.

Chen Weidong was speechless after hearing this!
A little girl wants to flick someone's balls again.

Chen Weidong still remembers the poor Si Ni who was bullied by others in the past. He wondered when she became so tough?

I am indeed too indulgent in my daily life. It may be that Chen Weidong owed too much to the children in his previous life, or it may be that the eldest, the second and the third are too sensible. I didn't expect Si Ni to become like this. I spoiled her too much.

If I continue like this, I might really become a female devil.
When you go to school in the future, you might become a troublemaker or a big sister in school!

However, you can't be too strict when educating your children, otherwise, they will become very cowardly and be bullied everywhere in the future.

Chen Weidong has also seen some children who were bullies in the village when they were three or four years old. Later, they were beaten by their families. When they grew up, they hid behind their family members when they saw strangers.

This is not the kind of Si Ni that Chen Weidong wants. Of course, he cannot just ignore her, otherwise, the child will become lawless and eventually go down a path of no return.

"Be more patient!" Chen Weidong thought.

"Si Ni! Why are you not happy that daddy is back?" Chen Weidong put Wu Ni and Liu Ni down and picked up Si Ni again.

"happy!"

Si Ni said in a baby voice.

"Dad, will he hate Si Ni?" Si Ni said worriedly. She also heard what Liu Xueting said just now and was afraid that her father didn't like her anymore.

"Silly girl, how could daddy not like Si Ni?" Chen Weidong kissed her pink face.

"But you must not bully others in the future. Of course, Dad and Sini have made a promise that no one else can bully our Sini! And you must listen to Mom!"

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"Okay! I will be obedient in the future!" Si Ni said happily.

"Hook!"

"Okay! Let's make a promise and never change for a hundred years! Whoever changes will be a puppy. Si Ni doesn't want to be a puppy, right?"

"No, Dad, have you bought anything delicious?" Si Ni became happy again and asked about food.

"I bought it! You can find it yourselves! It's all in the bag."

"Hehe, Dad, you're so nice!"

As soon as Chen Weidong finished speaking, the little girls went to find food.

"Xue Ting, don't work on the vegetable garden in this weather. It's so tiring!"

"I'm not tired!" Liu Xueting said.

"You're not tired, but your man is distressed. Don't be busy yet. I'll take you to the county town to buy things tomorrow."

Chen Weidong smiled.

"What are you buying? Why don't you just go and buy it yourself? Why are you taking me with you?"

Liu Xueting asked doubtfully.

Chen Weidong picked up Si Ni who was leaning on him. He stood up, stretched out his hand, took out the stack of industrial coupons and sewing machine tickets from his pocket, and put them in Liu Xueting's hands.

Liu Xueting was stunned. The stack of coupons in her hand were neatly stacked together. It fell into her palm, burning hot. She couldn't believe it.

He lowered his head and took a closer look. After confirming that the top coupon was a sewing machine coupon, she finally realized it belatedly.

"Weidong, this is..."

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Let's go to the county town tomorrow and buy the sewing machine home. It will be more convenient for you to make clothes in the future."

"Are you going to buy a sewing machine?!"

"You, where did you get these coupons?"

Liu Xueting stared at Chen Weidong as he carefully counted the coupons one by one.

One sewing machine supply coupon and the remaining thirty industrial coupons were just enough to buy a sewing machine from the county.

“I bought it from a ticket scalper!”

Chen Weidong said.

He was not vague and explained the matter roughly.

"These days, private trading of industrial bonds is very common, so you don't have to worry."

He thought Liu Xueting was worried about the source of these industrial coupons and sewing machine coupons.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xueting frowned and said with a little heartache: "It's too expensive. You said these coupons cost twenty yuan, not to mention that the sewing machine is so expensive. No one in our village has bought it! Only people in the city can afford it."

Chen Weidong stood up and gently held her hand holding the sewing machine coupon.

“You can make more money after spending it.”

"We can't be without a sewing machine. Xueting, if others have it, you should have one too. We can't be without one either."
