At the beginning of the year, one jin of roasted sausage could be exchanged for five industrial coupons, one chicken could be exchanged for two industrial coupons, and a box of middle-grade tea leaves could be exchanged for fifteen to twenty industrial coupons.
After May Day, industrial bonds would become valuable. If one wanted to buy a radio, a washbasin, a bicycle, and other daily necessities, they would have to use industrial bonds.
For example, buying a bicycle required 66 industrial coupons, but very few people bought bicycles. After all, 658 yuan for a bicycle was as luxurious as Porsche or Ferrari in the future.
However, he was not short of money. He was a level-eight old fitter, and his monthly salary was ninety-nine yuan.
An old man and an old woman did not have children. They spent very little and saved a lot of money.
Other than Lin Feng, Yi Zhonghai was the second richest man in the courtyard. Even Xu Damao had to avoid him.
It was just that he kept a low profile and wasn't as flamboyant as Xu Damao.
Right, Xu Damao had been beaten up by Lin Feng not long ago, so he had been out for more than ten days. He had only just returned.
"I thought it was something. It's a small matter. Master Yi, I'll send it over to you later.”Lin Feng smiled at Yi Zhonghai.
"Alright, take the money." The first uncle handed a handful of money to Lin Feng.
"No need, First Uncle. How can I accept your money? Usually, when I'm not at home at noon, my old lady will eat at your house a lot. If it weren't for an auntie helping her, my old lady would definitely be hungry. So, Grandpa Yi, keep this money. Talking about money hurts our relationship."
Lin Feng refused to take the money from the first uncle.
First Uncle felt helpless. Since Lin Feng had already said so much, he could only stop while he was ahead.
"Alright, Xiao Feng, don't cook tonight. Come to my room with your grandma for dinner. Let's have a drink.”First Uncle invited Lin Feng warmly.
"Alright, First Uncle, I've made you and I spend money. I'll go back and help my old lady over now.”Lin Feng laughed.
Before he finished his sentence.
The door to Silly Zhu's room opened.
"Um, First Uncle, Big Brother Li, can I have a free meal? He brought his own wine and half a plate of peanuts.”Silly Zhu laughed.
Lin Feng blinked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright, Zhu Zi, come on. You're in. Let's have a good drink.”First Uncle liked Lin Feng and Silly Zhu the most, so he wouldn't mind if Silly Zhu came to freeload, not to mention that he brought wine.
"Alright, Grandpa Yi, you're such a good person. Your kindness will be rewarded. I'll bring my peanuts and half a bottle of wine over now.”Silly Zhu was elated and laughed heartlessly.
In the backyard, the second uncle was giving his two sons some advice.
Why?
Because he saw Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, bring home two thigh bones.
Why was Old Yan's child so hardworking?
What else could the child of the Old Liu family do other than making him angry?
Hearing the conversation between First Uncle, Lin Feng, and Silly Zhu in the front yard, Second Uncle became even angrier.
He felt that his position was in danger. What would happen if the First Master, Lin Feng, and Silly Zhu teamed up? If the three of them joined forces, they would become the strongest force in the entire courtyard.
No, the second uncle also wanted to find help to protect his position as the second uncle. He thought of Xu Damao.
Yes, he would look for Xu Damao tomorrow. He had to form a strong alliance with Xu Damao.
Lin Feng returned to the backyard and helped the old lady to the house of an old man in the middle courtyard. A middle-aged woman had already prepared the food.
Silly Zhu had already come over with half a bottle of wine and his half plate of peanuts.
Silly Zhu was glad that he listened to Lin Feng and locked the door. Otherwise, the half plate of peanuts would have been stolen by the stick.
The five of them sat around the dining table.
"Grandpa Yi, here are ten industrial bonds.”
Lin Feng handed a stack of industrial bonds to the first uncle. The first uncle took it with both hands and put it in his pocket. He picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Lin Feng.
Silly Zhu's cup was already filled to the brim.
"Thank you so much, Little Feng. Come on, Shazhu, Little Feng, let's have a drink.”
The meal was a joyous one.
A few days later, an old man really bought a bicycle. It was forever eleven and brand new. He rode it back and pushed it into the courtyard, attracting everyone's attention.
"Not bad, Grandpa Yi. You're the third person in our quad to buy a bicycle.”
"I originally thought that Xu Damao would be the third one. I didn't expect that First Uncle would beat me to it.”
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Xu Damao was furious. He shook his head and returned to his room.
"I'm so angry! How did Yi Zhonghai become so rich? He actually bought a bicycle before me. No, I can't take this lying down. I have to buy a bicycle tomorrow. I want to let the people in this courtyard see that I, Xu Damao, am still the same Xu Damao from before.”
Xu Damao muttered to himself as he gritted his teeth and became ruthless.
However, he didn't have enough industrial coupons. He had only saved up 20 or so industrial coupons. He was still far from having 66 industrial coupons.
He knew that Lin Feng definitely had industrial coupons with him. Not to mention 40, Lin Feng would have more than 100 industrial coupons.
However, he could not bring himself to do so.
There was no way he could beg Lin Feng!
But after a few days, Xu Damao was provoked again.
Lin Feng sold his bicycle to Silly Zhu and bought another bicycle for himself.
Xu Damao was furious.
