Chapter 210 Proportion
After get off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu went out of the factory together.
These days, as soon as Xu Damao gets off work every day, he rides his bicycle in full swing to find his daughter-in-law, Lou Xiao'e, whom she has not yet married.
Therefore, Xu Qing, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu often go back to the compound together.
The second uncle and the first uncle occasionally come together.
But in most cases, they couldn't walk as fast as Xu Qing and the others, so they couldn't keep up. Over time, they would just walk slowly behind.
Yan Jiecheng, who had just entered the factory not long ago, was never in a hurry to go back after get off work. He chatted with the single female workers outside the factory gate every day.
Recently I heard that I am pursuing Yu Li.
Xu Qing has never paid attention to this.
Silly Zhu and Xu Damao are very interested in these gossips.
Now Qin Huairu has also become a full-time worker, from an apprentice to a first-level worker. Sometimes, she, Xu Qing and Shazhu go to work and get off work together in the winter of 1962.
Walking into the afterglow of the setting sun, Shazhu told Qin Huairu what happened last night.
Qin Huairu gave him a blank look.
Silly Zhu grinned, smiled awkwardly, smoked a cigarette, and said no more.
When Qin Huairu married into the compound, Shazhu and Xu Damao lay outside the house together and listened for half the night.
Qin Huairu naturally felt uncomfortable.
In other words, after spending time together in the same compound, I realized that Silly Zhu and Xu Damao were not too bad, so I didn’t care about them.
Qin Huairu turned around and chatted with Xu Qing about other things.
Silly Zhu remained silent. He wanted to interrupt several times, but Qin Huairu turned his back with a white eye.
After returning to the compound, Xu Qing walked directly back to his house in the backyard, ready to see how much white noodles and stick noodles were left in the two noodle pots in the kitchen.
If there's not much, I'll have to go to the state-owned store to buy some while I'm off tomorrow.
Although he and the little girl were the only two people left in the house, the family's monthly food needs did not decrease. In fact, they increased compared with three years ago.
Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming have become two-and-a-half-year-old young men, and their appetites have increased greatly. Although they live on campus and do not come back usually, they still have to hand over food to the school every week.
Schools don’t dare to offer free services, especially high schools. The students are all 16, 78 or 18 years old and have huge appetites. Once free, there is a risk of collapse within three days.
The little girl was sitting in front of the stove to light the fire. When she saw her elder brother bending down and looking into the noodle jar, she stood up and stood next to Xu Qing. She looked at the noodle jar that was almost bottomed out and said with a pale face:
"Brother, our family has to buy food again tomorrow."
Xu Qing hummed and said casually: "It's okay."
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing asked the little girl to go to the next door cabin to sleep with the radio in her arms, and then he closed the door with the latch.
A man sat on the kang alone, took out all the food stamps, meat stamps and other kinds of stamps on his body, and used his ability to divide them one at a time.
Other people may have to worry when they run out of food, but Xu Qing doesn’t.
Pay one point for your ticket tonight, buy food tomorrow, and get another point, so you don’t have to worry about eating at all.
Early in the morning, after Xu Qing finished eating the little girl's hot steamed buns, he left the house, said hello to Xu Damao, who lived in the backyard, borrowed a bicycle, and rode directly to the state-owned store.
Although there is an endless stream of customers in the state-owned stores every day, Xu Qing will not say that he can’t buy whatever he wants.
After several years of running, he became familiar with some salesmen. Whatever he wanted, he could buy it immediately by giving him money and tickets.
It may be a little difficult to buy things that are in short supply, but it’s not a big deal. The salespersons will also help Xu Qing pay special attention to them. Next time Xu Qing comes, he will definitely be able to buy them.
Reaching out to take the noodle bag that the other party placed on the counter, Xu Qing let out a cigarette. After chatting for a while, Xu Qing took the white noodles and stick noodles and walked around somewhere else.
After half an hour of busy work, Xu Qing bought thirty kilograms of white noodles, twenty kilograms of stick noodles, half a kilogram of pork, and two pieces of soap (soap).
When passing by a place dedicated to selling bicycles, Xu Qing put down his things and stopped to take a look at the latest 28-inch bumper. It felt pretty good.
It's just that he hasn't got a bicycle ticket yet.
Xu Damao washed his hands in the golden basin. To get a bicycle ticket, he had to go to Sanhuzi.
But Xu Qing doesn't want to deal directly with Sanhuzi in this regard.
It's okay to be friends, Sanhuzi is quite a righteous man.
But the problem is that Sanhuzi has been in the police station and has already fallen into the sight of law enforcement officials.
If you fail to make it through with insufficient guarantees and say everything, then you will be in trouble.
The number of places given out by the factory each year is limited, so Xu Qing was unable to get one.
We can only explore the market for the time being.
In terms of money, Xu Qing doesn't have to worry too much. His salary is now high and he can save every month. By the end of the year, he will have saved eighty or ninety yuan.
In addition, Xu Qing asked Xu Damao to bring some extra unused tickets to Sanhuzi and ask him to help exchange them for money.
Although after two steps, Xu Qing's risk factor has been reduced.
The matter of Xu Damao’s pack of cigarettes.
Sanhuzi may have to be whipped a little bit, but Xu Damao gave it to him, does he dare to whip it too hard?
Even if Sanhuzi was caught, he couldn't resist and shook Xu Damao out.
But when it comes to Xu Damao, it’s almost over.
Xu Qing and Xu Damao live in the same compound, even though Xu Damao pointed out that he gave the ticket.
But for Xu Qing, as long as he doesn't admit it, who can do anything?
Secondly, if Xu Damao dares to be dishonest and spit out everything, then Xu Qing will have his own way to fix him.
When dealing with Xu Damao, Xu Qing always kept a distance.
No matter what the matter, tell him everything.
There is nothing I can do about it, Xu Damao is very reliable when he is reliable, but when it comes to matters concerning himself, especially his future, he will fall out at any time.
Xu Qing knows this very well.
Therefore, once Xu Damao shows off his power in front of him, Xu Qing will beat him mercilessly.
This is mainly due to Xu Qing’s memory of later generations.
After all, Xu Damao can report the person next to him, so he can’t do it without paying attention.
A good relationship is a good relationship, and there should be some sense of proportion.
If one day Xu Damao wants to use himself as a springboard or stepping stone, then Xu Qing will not agree!
However, Xu Qing knew that Xu Damao was a smart man and could still distinguish clearly between what should be done and what should not be done.
At this time, the female salesperson selling bicycles saw Xu Qing coming, put her hands on her hips, smiled and cursed:
"You brat, are you going to buy it or not? I've been wandering around for several months and you still haven't made up your mind?"
Xu Qing laughed and said: "I haven't collected enough money yet, and I haven't got the bicycle ticket yet."
The female salesperson narrowed her eyes, looked at Xu Qing, and snorted: "Sister, I don't have time to chat with you. I have no money and no tickets. Go and cool down, and don't bother me."
Xu Qing laughed loudly and did not turn around and leave, but continued chatting with the female salesperson with a smile.
Xu Qingchang is sunny and handsome, and he is a cadre. He has an elegant temperament, dresses well, and speaks in an unconventional manner.
Unlike Sha Zhu, who speaks freely and says whatever comes to mind, and unlike Xu Damao, who opens his mouth just to tease.
Xu Qing spoke with great skill and precision, making the female salesperson laugh wildly, but she didn't feel that there was any hooliganism.
But as the morning approached, more and more people poured into the state-owned stores.
The female salesperson didn't dare to chat with Xu Qing anymore, so she waved her hand and said: "You bastard, go go go... don't hinder me from working here."
