There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

For several days, Zhang Guoqing was busy handling the backyard vegetable garden and slaughtering wild animals during the day, and took his children out at night to stroll to several nearby production teams to buy some items.

At this time, even Little Ping'an knew that food stamps, sugar stamps, and cloth stamps were more valuable than cash. Some people are not willing to buy a century-old ginseng no matter how much you pay. But as soon as you say you have a receipt, they will definitely happily pull you into the back room.

In the village, the team must approve the building timber, etc., and the personnel also go to the slack, relatives and friends in the neighbors help, and the main family provides food. No matter how much cash there is, it really doesn't have much use, but bills are different. For such great events as a daughter getting married and a daughter-in-law coming in, everyone who cares about face needs it.

For example, make two wedding clothes, another example is a bicycle ticket, a watch ticket. In addition, people who can store valuables such as ginseng and furs have not starved to death in the past few years, so they naturally have no shortage of wealth.

In this way, as soon as Zhang Guoqing came to the door, many people first mentioned which grandson or granddaughter in the family would have a happy event at the end of the year. What is missing now?

Wen Xian knew the elegance, the father and son looked at each other and smiled, these things are the most indispensable thing in their family now. Immediately afterwards, the two parties made a deal.

Three days later, the cloth tickets, sugar tickets, bicycle tickets collected from the black market were all squandered, and after adding the four watches provided by Zhou Jiao friendly, there was no harvest within a hundred miles.

At night, the family of three looked at each other around the pile of booty on the kang.

why?

It's so cheap!

A ginseng that is more than a century old is priced according to the local friendly price. Zhang Guoqing spent 350 yuan a few years ago. Now, it has been six or two years. Wild ginseng from the 1970s and 1980s is even cheaper, less than one hundred and fifty yuan.

In this way, apart from the 5,000 yuan that was previously booked, there are a total of 12 century-old ginseng left. In addition to the receipts and the watch that has doubled in price, the cash subsidy is less than 1,000 yuan.

There are 10 bundles of 100 bills of 10 yuan, and now there are four bundles that are conspicuously placed on a tiger skin, and there is a pile of precious furs such as sable fur next to it.

Flowers! You have to spend them!

Without waiting for Zhang Guoqing to respond, Pingan shook his head again and again, No more. Ginseng is not a big carrot. They all said that it was sold almost as much as it could be sold a few years ago.

Zhou Jiao nodded silently, frowning in thought.

Do you really have to go to Linxing? If there is no acquaintance over there, the money will not be spent. If she really wanted to find Mr. Wang's nephew, she was still worried that her man would be kidnapped into the mountains.

Zhang Guoqing knew that she was worrying about how to distribute the planned 90,000 yuan. However, the mountain has its own tricks, so he won't give the answer so quickly.

Who made her mother and daughter always have an overwhelming IQ? As the head of the family, he is also very stressed, okay? This time he had to let his wife and son take a good look at his abilities.

Zhang Guoqing lowered his eyelids, thinking about what kind of Mr. Wang's nephew was ready when he received the telegram? When will you leave? What else to bring besides the three treasures and wood frog oil?

Zhou Jiao clapped her hands, Brother, it seems that I have to trouble Grandpa Wang to send a telegram to his nephew, telling the other party to bring things here, and let him ask for the price.

Hearing this, Ping An rolled his eyes, Mom, I have money.

Zhou Jiao glanced at him speechlessly. I want to mix everything!

Dad, my grandpa must be home. Please help me send him a telegram and ask him to wire the money. It will be done! Ping An blinked his big eyes, and smiled and shook Zhang Guoqing's arm.

Zhang Guoqing laughed dumbfounded. The child!

Zhou Jiao shook her hand, The goal of sending money is too big.

Is there enough money here? Ping An looked at the remaining cash hesitantly.

Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing smiled at each other.

A loud voice came from outside the door: Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu...

Zhang Guoqing stood up immediately, This is Uncle Wang, I'll open the door, you guys pack up quickly.

Seeing that he left after finishing speaking, Ping An immediately jumped off the kang and followed closely behind. If he guessed correctly, this Grandpa Wang should come and tell them to go up the mountain.

Zhou Jiao put the things into the space, looked at her watch, it was almost eight o'clock, and she didn't know why the other party came to the door in such a hurry. She straightened and smoothed her clothes, stood up and walked out.

Uncle Wang was holding a telegram outside the door. Seeing Zhang Guoqing after the door opened, he said with a smile: The telegram that comes during the day, the old man at home let you decide.

Zhang Guoqing took it without looking at it carefully, and invited him to come in for a meeting.

No. You read first, the old man is still waiting for your reply.

Zhang Guoqing was not polite when he heard the words, and read the content with the light of the kerosene lamp: he is already preparing, and he is waiting for someone to come. After thinking for a while, he realized that the other party probably didn't have much cash, and was waiting for him to pick up the goods.

How? Go or not?

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, Let's go. Uncle, what do you plan to do? If we leave, we will start tomorrow.

Uncle Wang turned around and looked behind, and said in a low voice: My father said that you will definitely go. Before coming to you at night, I have already asked for a week's vacation with the team.

Zhang Guoqing nodded knowingly, and whispered, Then see you in the county at seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

Uncle Wang nodded, said goodbye to him and went back. On this trip, the father and son brought all their family savings with them. Even if Zhang Guoqing was with him, he had to go back and prepare well.

Zhang Guoqing watched him leave, closed the courtyard door again, picked up the child beside him, and walked into the back room. Seeing Zhou Jiao in the living room, he handed the telegram to her.

I have made an appointment at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. We will set off with Uncle Wang in the county seat. Do you think there is anything else to add?

Zhou Jiao shook her head, Father and mother, you can find an excuse. The Wang family seems to have a lot of money.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, That's for sure! When he was young, he would come back from other places and have a family background. Otherwise, Wang Wanwan offered him a high salary, and he would not be able to refuse. After so many decades, and all his descendants They all have good hunting skills, and their accumulated wealth is stronger than that of any landowner.

Fortunately, he is shrewd and does not reveal his wealth. I heard from my grandfather that as soon as he has money, he changes it into gold and silver dollars. I guess Mr. Wang has been very worried these past few years. He can't change it into gold, and the bank dare not deposit it. If you have too much cash, you don't have to worry about it getting moldy. Maybe I was bitten by a mouse, what should I do?

Zhou Jiao smiled knowingly when she thought of the half brick and half adobe yard of the Wang family. Can a person who has fought in the rivers and lakes be such a simple character?

Now that the itinerary has been confirmed, Zhang Guoqing went out to find his parents in the nursing home, while Zhou Jiao began to prepare dry food and luggage for the trip. She glanced at her happy son and teased him, Your grandma will definitely let you stay in your hometown.

Ping An was taken aback. It's really possible! He observed her expression and saw her smiling, Mom, how many days are you going this time?

Zhou Jiao pinched his cheeks amusedly, the flesh was so smooth and tender, it was fun, Almost five days. Seeing the child's relaxed expression after speaking, she smiled. As expected of her son, he was able to ask the key points so quickly and understand the meaning of the words.
