Sparkling saliva flowed down from the corner of her mouth.
It had been a long time since he had eaten sausage. He did not know what it tasted like.
"Young man, thank you for sending Haitang home.”
After much consideration, Father Xu and Mother Xu still took the sausage and held it tightly in their hands.
At this moment, they heaved a heavy sigh of relief in their hearts. They looked at Xu Damao again, and of course, the more they looked, the more satisfied they were.
This young man was really not bad. He had brought such an expensive gift on his first visit.
Slurp ~
"Young man, come in and have a seat."
Mother Xu quickly called Xu Damao in and looked at him like a mother-in-law.
Father Xu was the same. At this moment, all his thoughts were gone. He only knew that there would be sausages to eat tonight.
"Auntie, I still have something to do tonight. I'll definitely do it next time. Haitang, I'm leaving.”
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Xu."
After Xu Damao and Yu Haitang waved goodbye, they turned around and pushed the cart away.
What's the hurry? There's still a long way to go.
Xu Damao rode his Phoenix bicycle as he left the courtyard.
It wasn't far from their courtyard house to begin with, so they rode back to the courtyard in five minutes.
As soon as he entered the door, he happened to pass by Third Master Yan Bugui's house. Yan Jiecheng slipped out of the house.
"Brother Xu, what's the situation?”
Yan Jiecheng was extremely curious, and his gossipy soul was ready to move.
Yu Li often talked about her younger sister. She was very depressed. No one in the family could influence her thoughts.
Most of the time, her parents couldn't do anything to her.
"Jie Cheng, put more effort into your work. Don't go out and talk about Haitang and me. Do a good job tonight. I'll give you an extra pig trotter when the time comes.”
Xu Damao used a pork trotter to easily divert Yan Jiecheng's attention.
What kind of era was this? It was an era without entertainment activities.
Usually, in the same courtyard, if the neighbor had a girlfriend, this small matter could be discussed for half a year.
Xu Damao would not become the topic of conversation on this street. Good heavens, it was unlucky to be talked about for half a year.
"Thank you, Brother Xu! I'll definitely do my best!"
Yan Jiecheng immediately forgot about Yu Haitang. The pig trotters were more important.
The pork trotters were so fragrant.
Wasn't it fragrant?
……
When she arrived at the middle court, she happened to see Yi Zhonghai strolling around.
"Yo, Grandpa Yi, you're exercising.”
Xu Damao joked casually. He knew that First Uncle must have been waiting for him.
He probably asked him to do something. Otherwise, with First Uncle's personality, he wouldn't take the initiative to find someone.
"Da Mao, I have something to ask of you.”
"Recently, there are a few families in our courtyard that don't have enough food to eat. Although everyone has increased their rations a little, it's still not enough.”
"I can only come to you to think of a way. Da Mao, do you have a way?”
Yi Zhonghai was still the same. He was concise and told Xu Damao the truth.
As for going to the black market, it was impossible. The risk was too high. Nearly 70,000 people were arrested last year.
Fortunately, only a small portion of them were dealt with. Most of them were released. Only those who were still in office had to be picked up by various units.
Yi Zhonghai was a level-eight fitter, and he did not dare to embarrass himself.
"It's okay. I'll think of a way to get you 20 catties of cornmeal in two days.”
Xu Damao didn't say too much. He estimated that it wouldn't be a problem to get 20 catties of cornmeal.
There wasn't much left for each family to share.
With his identity as a projectionist, he could handle it.
If it was flour, he wouldn't dare to give so much away. Last year, a catty of flour ticket in Beijing had risen to a maximum of five yuan in the black market.
"Da Mao, if it really works, you've done a great deed!”
Yi Zhonghai was very excited. He didn't expect Xu Damao to really have a solution.
These days, he had been worried about this matter.
They were all in the same courtyard, so he couldn't just ignore them.
"Alright, don't worry. Just leave it to me.”
This matter was easy to solve. Xu Damao did not take it to heart. He just needed to take out the cornmeal two days later.
On the 25th of every month, they could collect the next month's food stamps in advance. Basically, all families would eat the next month's food in advance.
Once they ran out of food, it would indeed be a huge problem.
At the backyard entrance.
Xu Damao had just opened the door when he saw Liu Haizhong walking out from the opposite door.
"Damao, I heard that you're together with the new intern from our factory, Yu Haitang?”
Liu Haizhong was holding a large teapot. He was here to listen to a story, and there were tea leaves in the teapot.
The low-end ones cost 1.60 yuan per catty.
The price was very high, but fortunately, it didn't require a ticket.
"Second Uncle, do you still have that industrial voucher? Why don't you exchange it for me? I'll give you three taels of pork for one industrial voucher.”
Xu Damao was not interested in telling stories, but he was interested in the industrial coupons in Liu Haizhong's hands.
A grade-7 fitter would receive nine industrial coupons a month.
"Damao, are you serious?"
Liu Haizhong thought about it seriously. The pork in the market was more than 90 cents, but he still couldn't buy it.
He had nine industrial bonds a month. It wasn't worth a single dollar, but it was at least worth fifty cents.
"Then you can add more. Otherwise, I won't be able to agree.”
Liu Haizhong decided to order more. This was pork, and it was so precious now.
Thinking about the bicycle's sky-high price of 650 yuan, he might as well use industrial bonds to exchange for pork.
"Then half a catty. Who asked you to be the second uncle? I can't let you suffer a loss, right?”
Xu Damao did the calculations. Based on the minimum of two yuan per industrial voucher, ten would be twenty yuan.
In exchange for ten industrial coupons, only five catties of pork was enough. The price was not bad.
Who asked him to be the second eldest uncle? He would let it go.
"Alright, Da Mao, it's a deal. I'll exchange with you in two days.”
Liu Haizhong planned to invite his eldest son's girlfriend to his house the day after tomorrow and cook a sumptuous meal for her.
Otherwise, how long would it take for the two of them to get married?
If they really wanted to buy a bicycle before getting married, their family really couldn't afford it.
"Alright, but you have to tell me a day in advance.”
It was enough for Xu Damao to make a hole in his bangs.
In the future, other people would only come to beg him. He did not need to find someone else to exchange for it.
There were too many industrial bonds issued this year. Those who had industrial bonds were anxious.
Xu Damao planned to exchange for more industrial bonds this year. In a few years, when the price of bicycles dropped, everyone would want to buy bicycles.
He would then exchange the industrial bonds for everyone and keep them for a few years. It was not too much to double the price.
By then, Phoenix, Yongjiu, and Flying Pigeon would all have new bicycles on the market. It would be the perfect wedding season.
At that time, there was no need to worry about no one wanting industrial bonds.
