Chapter 25
Coming out of school, Xie Wencheng said in a low voice: “Look at what you mean, is it to take the college entrance examination? You should know that there is no college entrance examination now, right? If you want to go to college, I can find a some relation and see if I can recommend you to go to Gongnong Bing University.”
Xie Wencheng is from this era after all, he didn’t know that in 1977 the college entrance examination would resume and be normal.
In other words, he thought that sooner or later the college entrance examination would resume, but he didn’t know which year it would be. He was afraid that Yu Tong would be too stubborn and only focus on studying, which would delay her.
After all, at this time, it is very popular to go to a technical secondary school and get a job assignment.
“No, no, no,” Yu Tong was taken aback when she heard that Xie Wencheng could still recommend Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University to herself. Firstly, she didn’t expect Xie Wencheng’s hand to reach so far, and secondly, she really didn’t want to owe Xie Wencheng any more.
If she is capable, that’s fine, she can try her best to help him, but unfortunately, seeing Xie Wencheng’s conditions, she doesn’t seem to be able to help him much.
“I can just learn by myself. Now the situation is getting better and better. I’m not afraid. How can I rely on you all the time? Like this I won’t be able to survive without you in the future?” Xie Wencheng thought for a while, and felt that what Yu Tong said was reasonable.
He nodded: “Okay, then you should study hard.”
While feeling that Yu Tong’s words were reasonable, Xie Wencheng also found that he seemed to be too enthusiastic. It is extremely difficult to recommend to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. How many people fight for a place? It’s not just a casual talk.
Xie Wencheng also didn’t understand himself, why did he want to help Yu Tong so much? Maybe it’s because she is a good seedling to study, and he can’t bear her to go home to farm again?
Xie Wencheng shook his head, reminding himself not to be too careless.
The two of them took Yu Tong for a stroll around the city, and then went to have dinner. Xie Wencheng took Yu Tong to his uncle’s house on Nanyuan Road. It was also at this time that Yu Tong realized that the address Xie Wencheng left last time was his uncle’s house, not his residence.
Xie Wencheng cleaned up for Yu Tong briefly, “Let’s make do with it today, there’s nothing to eat here, if you’re hungry, eat the biscuits and candy you bought today. I’ll boil some water for you first, so you won’t be thirsty later.”
Lin Feng also smiled at the side: “Tongtong, don’t be restrained when you come here, treat it as your own home, I have known you Chengge for many years, I am not afraid of you staying for one night. Are you afraid that to live alone tonight?”
” I am not afraid!” Yu Tong said, “It’s much better than the firewood house.”
Yu Tong was telling the truth, when she first arrived here, the firewood house was pitch black every night, and she could still hear the animals on the nearby mountains It was a strange cry, and she was a little scared when she didn’t get used to it for a while. Of course, once you get used to it, you won’t be afraid anymore.
Lin Feng felt a little distressed when he heard this, these good people have been driven to the firewood room, how can the old Yu’s family do this ?
“That’s all right, you rest first, we won’t stay any longer.” Xie Wencheng poured some into a cup to dry, and before leaving, he still told Yu Tong: “Drink it when it’s cold, don’t burn yourself”
Yu Tong was a little surprised, she never expected that Xie Wencheng, whose family background is so unpredictable, would be so considerate in taking care of others.
Yu Tong’s inherent impression of the rich second generation was changed because of Xie Wencheng.
Yu Tong smiled and waved to Xie Wencheng: “Thank you, Brother Cheng, I will remember.”
After sending the two away she locked the door, Yu Tong carefully looked at the small house again. In fact, this house is not big, one of the bedrooms seems to be only three or four square meters, and there is a small kang inside. Yu Tong guessed that if she lived in it, she would have to sleep curled up. Fortunately, the other bedroom is slightly larger, with a bed inside, and Yu Tong will sleep in this room tonight.
After finally having a space to be alone, without having to be careful, Yu Tong simply washed herself, then climbed into bed and went to the supermarket.
A series of things she uses for skin care are still thrown in the supermarket! When she arrived at the supermarket, Yu Tong put on a mask first, and then began to count the goods in the supermarket. It doesn’t matter, Yu Tong found that the white noodles in the supermarket were less than half. Because of the activities she held a few days ago, the turnover of the supermarket has increased a lot in the past two days, and she can basically earn a small four hundred a day. Yu Tong has paid special attention to not organize activities for the food, but now the food is also decreasing rapidly. See It turned out that other products were discounted to attract customers, so more food was sold. Yu Tong was annoyed for a while, and hurriedly called to replenish the stock.
“I want ten bags of 10-jin white flour and ten bags of rice. Yes, they are all 10-jin bags.” Yu Tong ordered while calculating the inventory. After ordering for a long time, she suddenly remembered an important thing, “That’s right, do you slaughter pigs there?!”
The man didn’t understand for a while: “Slaughter pigs?”
Yu Tong said, “That’s right, they just slaughter pigs and sell pork and trotters.”
The man was speechless, disgusted: “I’m not a slaughterhouse, how could I do such a thing.”
After two seconds of silence, he added, “But I have Jin Gonggong’s meat, tenderloin, ribs, everything. If you want, you can also order it. ”
Yu Tong patted het head, and cursed in her heart that she was really stupid in the 70s, why would she kill a pig with just one mouthful.
Yu Tong said: “That’s right, that’s it. I was wrong just now.”
“I can give you the goods, but I remember that you don’t seem to have a freezer at your place. I didn’t see it when I delivered the goods.”
That’s right, save pork If so, you need a freezer. Yu Tong glanced at the supermarket and saw that there was still room in the supermarket. She gritted her teeth: “Do you have a freezer?”
The man said, “I have everything here. How many liters of the freezer do you want? 200 liters, 700, 300 liters.” 900, a good brand, durable. The original price is at least 1200, and I will give you according to the purchase price.”
This freezer is quite expensive. Yu Tong counted the turnover, feeling very heartbroken. After finally earning such a small amount of money, yes, it was spent all at once.
“I want a 300-liter one, a little bit of pork, chicken, and mutton. Hey, forget it, mutton is too expensive, I’ll order it next time.”
After ordering the goods, Yu Tong took a few cans of milk powder and plain melon seeds and peanuts from the supermarket. I heard that only half a catty of peanuts and three taels of melon seeds are limited to supply here during the Chinese New Year, and maybe they can be sold. As for other products such as protein powder, Yu Tong did not dare to take them out for sale, she was afraid that there would be problems if the products that were not available here were sold.
After putting the milk powder into the iron cans that were picked up from the small warehouse, Yu Tong was relieved and fell asleep contentedly. The next morning, Yu Tong got up before four o’clock. She was not sure about the exact time of the black market, so the sooner the better.
I went to the black market in the dark, and there were much more people here than she had imagined. Yu Tong thought that everyone would be afraid to come, or they would all be careful to hide in places where no one was around. Seeing people made Yu Tong feel more at ease. She walked in the alley with her bag in her arms, observing everyone as she walked.
Until she came to a young woman who had nothing in her hands and looked sad. Like Yu Tong, she was also looking at other people.
Yu Tong’s eyes lit up, she walked over, and said in a low voice: “Hi, is this your first time?”
The woman hesitated for two seconds, seeing that Yu Tong was a little girl, she didn’t seem to be a bad person, so she nodded.
Yu Tong looked around, and pulled the woman to a corner where no one was around, “I have milk powder here, do you need it?”
The woman’s eyes lit up when she heard the word “milk powder”. She came here today to look for milk powder. Not long after she gave birth, she didn’t have much breast milk. She always fed porridge and felt sorry for the child’s lack of food, so she wanted to buy some milk powder. However, even if you have money and tickets, you can’t buy things like milk powder in this place. Hence she was forced to come to the black market.
She had been here for quite a while, and asked two or three people tremblingly, but none of them had any answers. Just when she was about to give up, Yu Tong took the initiative to find her.
The woman’s hanging heart finally let go.
