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

Chapter 61 Dad, I want one too!

Yang Haiqing was just asking casually. There are many children who don't go to school these days.

"Comrade, you and your child wait in my office for a moment. Master Liu, please call Accountant Wang over as I told you to do."

Yang Haiqing instructed that one hundred and twenty yuan was not a small amount of money. Although he was the manager of a state-owned hotel, he also received a salary every month and had to sign for all the hotel's expenses and revenues.

"Dad, why do you want to send my sister and me to school?" Dani asked curiously. In her memory, her father never talked about going to school. She and her sister could only envy some children of the same age in the village going to school.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go to school?" Chen Weidong asked with a smile.

"Do you want to? But my second sister and I still have to help mom with work and take care of my younger sister!" Dani said worriedly.

"Uh-huh."

Erni also nodded.

"Little fool, where's your dad? Just study hard when the time comes!"

Chen Weidong patted the two girls' heads, then led the two little girls and followed Yang Haiqing to the second floor, where the space was much smaller.
After Chen Weidong arrived at the office, Accountant Wang came in with a stack of money and a bill. He counted the money and handed it to Yang Haiqing.

Yang Haiqing took the money and signed, and then Accountant Wang left.

After Yang Haiqing took the money, he handed it to Chen Weidong. After taking the money from Yang Haiqing, Chen Weidong took a look at it and put it directly into his pocket.

"You don't want to count? One hundred and twenty dollars is not a small amount of money. I won't be responsible if it's less."

Seeing Chen Weidong take the money and put it away, Yang Haiqing couldn't help but feel curious. In the past, when someone came to sell wild goods, even if it was only a few dollars, they would count it over and over again, for fear that a penny was wrong.

"Manager Yang, how could you, a manager of a state-owned restaurant, possibly cheat a commoner like me?"

Chen Weidong smiled and then boasted, but when the accountant gave him the money just now, he had already counted it clearly.
It's not like he can't see it, and there are only a dozen big unity bills, so why should he count them? It's not like he has never seen money, so who is he looking down on?

"Haha~ Comrade, you are so nice to hear." Yang Haiqing said with a smile. He then added: "In the future, if you catch any wild goods, just come here to find Master Liu. I will tell him about it."

"Ok."

……

After Chen Weidong left the Hongqi State-owned Hotel with his daughter, they drove their donkey cart non-stop to the black market.

After spending three dollars to exchange for some tickets, Chen Weidong decided to practice his shooting skills, so he paid for a hundred rounds of bullets.

I spent another 15 yuan to buy two Hanyang-made magazines, which were also called leaky boxes. With these, I could fire five bullets at a time.

In fact, the leak box and the clip are essentially part of the gun parts. When loading bullets, the leak clip is pressed into the magazine together with the bullets.
After the bullet is fired, it will pop out or leak out from the ejection port or the hole at the bottom of the magazine. If there is no leaking clip in the rifle, the bullet cannot be positioned in the magazine.

However, it also has a disadvantage. It is impossible to reload when the bullets are not used up, so this type of leaky clip is basically eliminated in the future.

Then Chen Weidong took Da Ni and Er Ni to the supply and marketing cooperative. Chen Weidong planned to make some purchases. This time with a donkey cart, he had fewer concerns when buying things in the county town.

"Comrade, what would you like to order?"

The employee of the supply and marketing cooperative was sitting on a chair. When he saw Chen Weidong come in, he didn't even stand up. He just raised his chin and asked coldly.

Chen Weidong didn't take it seriously. This was the character of the supply and marketing cooperative employees at that time.

"Give me twelve pairs of these socks for children and four pairs for adults."

The socks Chen Weidong bought were nylon socks, which were very strong and kept him warm. Later, Chen Weidong bought a metal flashlight, which he would use not only when he got home, but also when he went hunting in the mountains!

After a while, Chen Weidong bought rice wine, sugar, and other cooking condiments, as well as pots and pans, tooth powder, toothbrushes, and five pounds of pork, vermicelli, and some vegetables.

Dani frowned and said, "Dad, you bought too much. Mom will definitely tell you when we get home!"

This little girl is becoming more and more like her mother...

"Dad has the final say when it comes to shopping," Chen Weidong smiled and pinched the two little girls' cheeks.

Then a huge pile of things was piled on the counter, which stunned the salespersons at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Even the young female teller next to him couldn't help but look at Chen Weidong a few times.

The customers in the supply and marketing cooperative all looked at him with envy.
"It's not a festival, but he bought so many things at once. He must be the one with a thousand-yuan income in our county! He's really generous."

"No way! Look at the rags he's wearing! Doesn't it look like that?"

"Who knows? I guess people like it."

"..."

"What are you two looking at? Daddy will buy you whatever you want!"

Chen Weidong glanced at the two little girls and saw that they were leaning on the counter and looking inside, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"My sister and I will just take a look~" said Da Ni, and Er Ni also nodded.

These two girls really wanted to save money for him. Chen Weidong followed the gazes of Da Ni and Er Ni.
It turned out to be the row of golden butterfly hairpins decorated with tiny plastic beads on the counter.

"Little girls like this?" Chen Weidong thought for a moment and said to the saleswoman, "Give me five of these hairpins."

Since I plan to buy it for two little girls, I have to buy it for the other little ones as well, otherwise they will definitely feel aggrieved and make trouble for me.

After buying the hairpins, Chen Weidong naturally thought of his wife. She, like the little guy, used a rope to tie her hair.

At this moment, Chen Weidong also noticed the silk headband hanging behind the counter and immediately decided to buy it.

This kind of silk hairband was very popular in the 1980s, and many young girls and wives on the street would wear such a hairband in their hair.

Even a little girl of eleven or twelve years old can have such a hair flower and show it off for several days.

"how much is the total?"

Chen Weidong took the silk hairpin and pointed at the things on the counter and said.

"Well, comrade, I'll do the math for you later."

Salesmen these days all work for the government, and having a golden bowl is something everyone envies. They usually look down on others, but when facing the generous Chen Weidong, they can't help but be polite.

Seeing that Chen Weidong bought a lot, the salesperson took out an abacus from under the counter.
"The total is fifty dollars and seventy cents." The salesperson calculated skillfully.

Chen Weidong nodded, paid the bill, and looking at the two excited little girls, he handed over two hairpins.

Children are children. Although the two girls said they were reluctant to part with the items, when Chen Weidong really bought them, their happy expressions immediately showed on their faces.

"Dad, help me bring it." Da Ni said excitedly, staring at Chen Weidong with her big watery eyes. Er Ni also said happily: "Dad, I want one too."
