Pamper Eighties

After Mrs. Feng packed up her things, she followed her family out of the purchasing station, and said with special anticipation, “Old man, where are you talking about?”

Old Man Feng picked up the burden from the ground and said, “In the alley across from the commune, there is a restaurant run by self-employed individuals. Come on, I’ll take you there.”

“Wait,” the old lady Feng felt that something was wrong when she heard it. She grabbed the old man and said, “The self-employed are all second-rate, and there is a man in Niujia Village next to the commune. He used to steal the sweet potatoes from the production team and was forced to re-educate for two years, so he went to If you are self-employed, don’t think I don’t know, who will be self-employed if you are a serious person?”

Madam Feng said, she became suspicious, looked at her old man and said, “Isn’t that self-employed person from Niujia Village?”

“No, it’s not that person.” Old man Feng knew that it was impossible to explain it clearly, so he put down two burdens and said, “The last time I went out with the boss to buy food, I knew him. He is a real person. Our family sells brown sugar. It’s also dealing with him. Besides, it’s all reformed and opening up now, it’s not shameful to be a self-employed person, you don’t care who he is, as long as he can give more money. “

Madam Feng was finally moved. Now it’s no different than before. Whoever pays more will sell the meat to whomever she can’t get along with. She can’t get along with anyone who can’t get along with the money. Thinking of this, she smiles first and carries the basket on her back. Said, “Okay, then, let’s go to the self-employed and sell the meat to him.”

Old man Feng is familiar with this county town. He used to run several times a month as the village head, and then he led everyone into a small road. It didn’t take long for him to walk into a small alley, and he could still see it from the alley entrance. Opposite the commune.

“Feng’er, don’t say that the self-employed people are not serious. If they are not serious, he would dare to drive across the commune? Wasn’t he arrested by the public? Even if they made mistakes in the past, they have corrected them now, Chairman Mao said. …”

“Come on, don’t do your shit, I’m getting calluses on my ears.” Madam Feng pouted and said it with disgust. Her old man has been the village chief for so many years, and he speaks one by one. She’s an old country lady, she doesn’t like to hear that.

Su Wan walked in front and snickered. Her in-laws and mother-in-law like to fight each other on weekdays, but their feelings are better than anyone else. After walking a few steps, she saw a restaurant next to it, open in a small bungalow, with only two crooked characters written on the wall: “hotel”.

As soon as old man Feng walked to the door, he shouted at the top of his voice: “Tie Zhu, are you in there? My Taoyuan Village is victorious.”

“Our uncle is here?” A sturdy man in his thirties greeted him from the door. His face with Chinese characters was very enthusiastic. When he saw Mrs. Feng and Su Wan, he said hesitantly: “Oh, this is Yes?”

Old Man Feng pointed at the three of them and said, “This is your aunt, Yimin’s daughter-in-law, and Yimin’s daughter-in-law in his arms. Tie Zhu, are you busy in this shop?”

“I’m not busy, just a few regular customers. It’s enough to have my daughter-in-law in the kitchen. Aunt and brother-in-law, you come and sit inside. Uncle, I’ll tell you, you haven’t been here for a long time, and I miss you. You’re a burden. What did you pick? Oh, this is air-dried meat?” Tie Zhu invited the Feng family to sit down in the store, and when the old man unloaded the burden, he opened it curiously, and knew at a glance that the meat was good.

“Yeah Tie Zhu, Uncle is here to sell dried meat this time. Would you like to see if you want it in your shop?” Old Man Feng simply lifted two burdens and a basket, and let Tie Zhu get out of the way. Squat down and take a closer look.

As soon as Mrs. Feng entered the door, she secretly observed, and saw several men in green jackets sitting at the table next door to eat. They were well-dressed, and there was a pen in the pocket of their jackets. At first glance, they were educated people. Tie Zhu came here to do serious business, so she was satisfied first, and said with a particularly proud smile: “Tie Zhu, this is the dried meat made by my aunt’s own house. We went to the mountains to hunt, and we specially picked that one. Pickle it just right, put it on the stove and smoke it slowly for a month or two, it’s not my aunt blowing it, our meat is not only fragrant, but also very beautiful in color, how much do you want?”

Tie Zhu took out a few pieces of meat, weighed it, smelled it, and knew what he knew. He weighed it and said, “Auntie, your air-dried meat is well-marinated, and it’s all good meat without bones. I don’t either. To tell you the truth, my shop here is small, and I can only afford two yuan and 21 jin. If you think it can’t be done, then I will pay you less and give you two yuan and 31 jin. What do you think? I can’t get out.”

When Mrs. Feng listened to him, her mood went up and down like an ocean wave for a while. When she heard the price, she felt like a typhoon and a huge wave was set off in her heart. The price of two yuan, two yuan and three yuan can be easily sold, which is much higher than the acquisition station. Fortunately, they didn’t sell it at the acquisition station just now, otherwise how much would they lose?

Madam Feng glanced at her family and knew that they were also very happy. She laughed hard to herself and said, “Tie Zhu, you are a real person, and my aunt won’t ask you more, just two yuan per pound. Do you think you want it all?”

“Haha, Auntie is refreshing, I want all your meat, wait, I’ll go get the scale.” Tie Zhu was also happy that he could buy this batch of meat. It’s not easy for him to open a restaurant as a self-employed person. The question of whether or not the food is available.

He came back with the weight from the back kitchen, and was busy working on the ground. It took a while to calculate the number: “Auntie, this meat is 93 pounds and 2 taels, and the total is 205 yuan and 4 cents. , don’t you think so?”

“Success! I’ll sell this meat to you!” Madam Feng’s heart was bubbling with beauty like a flower, and she earned more than 200 yuan in a blink of an eye, which is more than the harvest in the field in one year. Well, they have worked hard for a year, and they are not as good as Huzi earning more in a month. Huzi is more capable than them.

After leaving the hotel, Madam Feng saw that the old man was still holding her chest tightly with her hands, she became anxious but lowered her voice and said, “Put your hands down, don’t act like you’re afraid that others won’t know you are rich, just do it naturally. Son.”

The old man Feng had the more than 200 yuan in his pocket, and he couldn’t even walk on the road. After walking with his hands and feet for a while, he slowly got used to it and gradually digested the surprise in his heart. Now he has more than 200 yuan. of people.

The family walked to the opposite commune, where there was a station. They had already discussed it last night. Today, they are going to take a bus to the provincial capital. After finally getting out, they have to take Mengmeng to the provincial capital to take a look.

When she was sitting in the car, Mengmeng looked very energetic. She looked out the window with big bright eyes, and sometimes giggled. Madam Feng hugged her and followed her line of sight to look at the car. After slowly driving away from the county seat, after passing through a suburb, there were several low-rise houses in front of me. Gradually, there were more and more houses, and they became higher and higher. Suddenly, a tall building appeared in front of me.

“One, two, three, four, five, six, oh my god, why is this building so high? It’s six floors!” Madam Feng had never seen such a high building before. After the building passed, I still sighed: “Reform and opening up is good, how can you see such a high building before?”

“Yes, Mom, I read in the newspaper a few days ago that there is a Bacha Village, and there is a million-dollar household in that village.” Su Wan was sitting next to Mrs. Feng, watching the changes in the provincial capital. My heart was surging as high as that building.

“What? Ten thousand yuan?” Madam Feng’s eyes were wide open, and her mouth was so open that she could put an egg in it, and it took a long time before she closed it and said, “For ten thousand yuan, I can’t even give the whole house to me. Stuffed? Too rich, what does he do?”

Su Wan recalled vigorously: “It seems to be growing cotton and earning more than 10,000 yuan.”

“My God, it’s more than 10,000? It’s too rich!” Madam Feng’s eyes were full of envy, thinking of her family, she said with special regret: “It’s a pity that we can’t grow cotton in our village, otherwise we’ll grow cotton too. Go, and earn more than 10,000 yuan. If I want so much money, I will eat a bowl of white rice and turn a bowl of white rice, and then give Mengmeng to eat malted milk every day. “

“What nonsense are you, you don’t have enough food to let you waste it?” Old man Feng turned from the seat in front, pointed out the window and said, “Did you see the rider? If I had ten thousand For a dollar, I’ll buy it a bicycle first, then a sewing machine for the two of you, and a watch for us Mengmeng, I need the Shanghai brand, and I can wear it when Mengmeng is a little older, it must be us The only one in the village.”

“Old man, you’re good, we’ll do this when we have money.” Madam Feng heard that beauty, isn’t this the life of an immortal? If she had such a day, her life would be worth it.

She looked enviously at the people riding bicycles outside the window, especially the women in green clothes, their faces were covered with a red gauze, which was so beautiful.

“To be able to wear such a suit, it must be a big cadre in the province.” Madam Feng watched them disappear at the intersection, and then reluctantly retracted her gaze.

“You’re right, when will we be able to have a bicycle? I heard that it will cost a hundred or tens of dollars, and you need to have a bicycle ticket.” Old man Feng was just talking about it. , Although they made some money selling meat, they were reluctant to use it to buy bicycles. That thing is not suitable for eating or wearing, so why buy it?

Old lady Feng didn’t know what her old man was thinking. She only knew that it was good to have a bicycle. When she saw the green car on the road, her eyes would not turn. Man, how much does it cost to buy this? The person sitting in that car must be a big cadre.

The Feng family came down when they arrived at their destination. Madam Feng wrapped Mengmeng and hung it on her body. Su Wan carried the basket. Old man Feng folded the two burdens together and carried them in his hands, and the family left. Enter the People’s Bank next door.
