Chapter 7 The arrogance of a dollar

"Xiaojuan, be good at home, wait for dad to come back to bring you some delicious food."

The next morning, Li Dong got upset and felt that the air was much fresher without having to go to work. When he thought that he could make some money by relying on his decades of experience in the commune, he would be more proud of buying some candy in front of Xiaojuan.

Thinking about it, maybe I could get some meat back to satisfy my craving today, Li Dong was in a better mood. He told Xiaojuan to stay at home and go out with a sloppy lookout.

Han Weijun was already waiting at the entrance of the village. Li Dong was not confused when he saw that only Han Weijun was nothing else. "Brother Weijun, let's go there like this?" No, it's more than ten miles, no tools, can you walk, just kidding?

"What's wrong?"

Han Weijun looked puzzled, what's wrong, don't make trouble again, "Go out early, come back early to work, leave quickly."

Li Dong is probably only five o'clock at this time, and the weather is still a little chilly. It's just a dozen miles away. Besides, it's not a joke. What kind of work is going to work and it's hard to get out. "Brother Wei Jun, we don't have bicycles or something in our team. Can't we ride a bike faster?"

"We are not a brigade, where did we get the bicycle? Besides, what kind of bicycle do we need when we are so close to the commune?"

Han Weijun felt that Li Dong was just lazy. He arrived in the blink of an eye. What kind of bicycle do you want? He took advantage of the cold weather and quickly finished his work. He would come back without delaying work.

Before coming, Han Fu had already told me that I should keep an eye on Li Dong, so I must not let him run away. I owe some food in the team. I ran away, but what if I do, I will pay back the food.

"Isn't our production team a brigade?"

"Our production team has only a hundred people, so what kind of team is it?"

While walking, Han Weijun said that he did not forget to urge Li Dong to urge him to go so fast. Li Dong is at least half a head taller than Han Weijun and his legs are longer. But if he couldn't keep up, he would be jogging. No wonder, people used to go to the city that had been selling things for a day, but Li Dong believed it now, and his speed was as fast as jogging.

Li Dong accelerated his pace and muttered more than a hundred words in the team. He didn't lie to himself, but he always felt that there were more than these people. "Then why didn't you see other production team members?"

The general brigades work together. According to Li Dong's brief understanding, the general brigades have at least three or four production teams.

"The brigade has been merged into the commune."

Han Weijun said that there is still some story here. Chicheng County is usually a mountainous area. The Han family production team belongs to the mountainous area. The production brigade set up at the beginning manages three or five farms, but these farms are too far away, and the farthest ones are more than ten miles.

You said that when this brigade was in a meeting, he couldn't hear it after shouting for a long time, so he simply merged the brigade into the commune, and a deputy secretary of the commune supervised these production teams.

No wonder, there is no bicycle, and the brigade usually has a bicycle, and it is better to have its own sales store, tractor, and processing factory.

The production team is one level lower than the brigade. Generally, there is a political instructor. The Hanzhuang production team does not pay so much attention to it. There is a captain, a female team leader, and an accountant, and a warehouse manager.

Li Dong had nothing to say to talk all the way, and finally got to know the situation of the Hanzhuang production team. The production team now has ten buffaloes and a small pig farm, but there are only five or six pigs. Dangdangxiang, who is poor, is not considered wealthy. There are ox carts, but Li Dong has not received such treatment. Usually, women in the village use ox carts when having children. As for tractors, the production team does not have it at all.

There are not many production teams in the entire Lishan Commune with tractors, not to mention that the Hanzhuang production team is at the foot of the mountain. The plot is not big, the height is uneven, and the tractors are not used. The most important thing is that there are no tractors.

More than ten miles away, Li Dong was so tired that he was breathing, but Han Weijun didn't feel tired at all. When the sun was just rising in the commune, Li Dong felt that he ran over and sweated. He didn't say that he was hungry. He didn't know what happened. He was very hungry after coming here. He ate a lot, but he was hungry quickly. If he had known earlier, he would have to bake a sweet potato mat.

Han Weijun was going to do business, and Li Dong had to follow and there was no way Han Weiguo said along the way, scaring Li Dong. What a young general would catch him when he saw him, and robbed his family and killed people without blinking!

Li Dong was so scared that he really didn't dare to run around. Seeing Han Weijun in doing business, Li Dong originally wanted to make some food, but when he touched his pocket, he couldn't even get a penny in his pocket. The most important thing is that Lishan Commune has no state-owned hotels, and the bun shop didn't even want to buy food.

"No doorway?"

The commune was a tile house with black socks and gray bricks, with some slogans on both sides, and there were also long live the chairman and the door, and there was nothing at the door, Li Dong muttered. There were many notices posted on the exterior wall of the yard, and Li Dong glanced at the study of Chairman Hua’s report and so on.

Han Weijun went to do business, and Li Dong was waiting outside. Han Weijun even found an old guard to stare at him. Li Dong looked speechless, his pocket was empty and he was worried that he would run away. Why did this person have no trust at all?

Li Dong was a little sad, but it didn't prevent him from getting close to the old man. Only then did he realize that the office space of Lishan Commune was not big and the management space was quite small. The farthest production team was more than 30 miles away from Laoshan, and the entire commune had four or five thousand people.

Li Dong also found out that there was a tractor in Lishan Commune to go to the city on weekends, but it was necessary to pay for the car and letter of introduction. It was really not easy to go to the county town. Li Dong didn’t know who would take the car in the city these days? It would be better to buy two yuan of corn candy to satisfy your children’s cravings, or buy a kilo of soy sauce and vinegar. It was only thirty or forty miles, and it was in the blink of an eye.

Li Dong heard what the old man said, and he could reach it in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye. He rolled his eyes secretly. You are all screech, awesome, and you can't compare to you.

"Master, you're busy."

Seeing that Han Weijun had finished his work, Li Dong quickly came over.

Han Weijun nodded at Li Dong and was about to take Li Dong to buy stamps and write to relatives in the city, and joking about it. How expensive is it, stamps are only a few cents. With the envelope, the letter paper is only one or two cents.

After buying stamps and envelopes, Li Dong glanced at the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

"Brother Wei Jun, it's convenient for you here. I want to borrow a dollar."

"One dollar?"

"Brother Wei Jun, I didn't come to the commune to buy some things and bring them back, but I forgot to bring the money when I came out."

I have no money, Li Dong is hard, and he lives this life, so poor.

Han Weijun hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and took out a dollar and handed it to Li Dong. One dollar is not a small amount. Usually, Han Weijun only has more than one dollar in his pocket.

"Save some flowers."

"Don't worry, I'll pay you back if I turn back."

Li Dong ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative. He had just found out the location of the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune. Han Weijun's face changed when he saw the direction of Li Dong going, and he slapped his thigh and regretted it. Why did he forget what he said, don't spend it all in a mess.

Han Weijun hurriedly followed him, and Li Dong walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and looked at the counter full of things. He had everything, and he had food, use, wear, and tools. He was really rich.

"What should I buy for comrades?"

"I'll take a look, I'll take a look."

Li Dong is about 1.8 meters tall, Zhou Zheng and is wearing a 40-year-old T-shirt and shorts. The clothes look quite high-end, and the salesperson is a bit polite.

A salesperson for a supply and marketing cooperative is a good job and a strong job. When you see a senior high school senior, who has a relative in a supply and marketing cooperative is definitely awesome in the countryside. Whoever doesn’t look up to you usually? After all, getting married and doing big things requires things, it needs to be used by others.

At that time, the supplies were not abundant, so many things had to be booked in advance. The basins and kettles used by newcomers had to be made in advance. If there was no goods at the time, they would not be used for salesmen. All salesmen in the commune were popular professions.

Of course, the salesperson in the department store is even more awesome, and even the commune secretary and county leaders do not give him any face.

"It's so cheap."

Li Dong looked around and asked around. At this time, rice was one pound, one cent, five cents, six cents, and rich flour was one cent, eight cents, two cents, soy sauce was one cent, two cents, and seven cents per pound of eggs...

One dollar was simply too arrogant. Li Dong was about to buy some when Han Weijun ran in.

"Brother Wei Jun, are you?"

Seeing Li Dong holding a dollar in his hand, Han Weijun forgot what he said for a moment. "Ah, do you want a cloth ticket?"

"What do I want to do with cloth tickets?"

Li Dong muttered, a pair of stockings costs one yuan and five yuan, a shirt costs six or seven yuan, and a shorts can't afford to buy any cloth tickets. However, food fabrics are really not cheap, the cheapest jersey cloth costs two or three cents a foot. According to Li Dong's height, it must be at least six or seven feet to make a piece of clothing, and at least one piece is enough.

Just because Li Dong didn't see these clothes and shoes were too expensive, and labor-protected shoes were too expensive for three to five yuan. He mainly focused on the food. Now the food is not mentioned, it is really healthy and delicious. Hey, I haven't seen a meat seller after a long time. "Brother Wei Jun, I don't need cloth tickets. Is there any meat ticket?"

"No."

Han Weijun said, sure enough, this kid is greedy and wants to buy meat. Besides, there is no state-owned butcher shop in the commune, so he wants to buy it in the county town. Han Weijun said that his family doesn’t have many meat tickets, so you can get it yourself if you have the ability.

Li Dong muttered, there wasn't even meat, forget it, buy some. "Hey, are there any chickens here?"

I bought a bottle of canned food for one dollar, a chicken, and a small bag of rice candy, and I left a 2 cent ticket for the ticket. I was satisfied. Li Dong ate while walking. There was no corner cut in this era, and the rice candy was fragrant and sweet. "Brother Wei Jun, try it, it's so fragrant."

Han Weijun's face turned pale. This is just one dollar. You can buy seven or eight kilograms of salt. The family has enough salt for half a year. It's a waste. Look at what they bought, canned food, rice candy, isn't this a sin?

Why is he so stupid? He told me when he left, why did he borrow money? Han Weijun regretted it all the way, his intestines were green. Eat it, just eat it, but Han Weijun didn't give Li Dong any good face.

Seeing that Han Weijun ignored him and was eating alone, Li Dong returned home and handed the little chicken to Xiaojuan happily, but Xiaojuan was so happy that she waited for Li Dong to take out the canned food and rice candy behind her back.

I thought Xiaojuan would be happier, but who knew that when she saw canned food and rice candy, Xiaojuan cried and came out, it was amazing. Canned food and rice candy, where did the money come from, what to do? What bad things did the new father do?

Han Weijun was really wondering why he told Han Fu that he had borrowed money and shouldn't have lent to Li Dong. Now, what should I say when I go back?

Li Dong is still happy as Xiaojuan. It’s not easy for a child to cry happily without eating rice candy!

"Be good, don't cry. When I look back, my dad has money to buy big white rabbit milk candy for you. Don't mention the taste. It's soft and sweet with the fragrance of fresh milk. It's so delicious." When Li Dong said this, Han Xiaojuan cried louder and how much does it cost to have such a delicious milk candy? At least five cents a day. After that, I have nothing to do. Xiaojuan feels so pitiful that she catches up with such a lazy new father. The children in the team joked that they are not afraid of being hungry without food. When they think of having no food, Xiaojuan is even more sad.
