the next day.
After Li Duoyu woke up, he ate pig blood with intestines and pig lungs at the entrance of a familiar alley.
Still the familiar smell.
The fragrant soup entered the throat, and the whole body instantly became energetic.
It's a pity that the boss only put chopped green onions and no coriander, otherwise the taste would have been perfect.
After breakfast.
Li Duoyu went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. He came to the county town several times, but every time he forgot to buy a big bed.
This time, his wife Zhou Xiaoying had a special instruction, but Li Duoyu remembered it.
The County Supply and Marketing Cooperative is located in the center of the county, covering a large area of more than 800 square meters and more than 40 counters.
The items sold are all kinds of, just like the big supermarkets in the previous life, it feels like they have everything.
The supply and marketing cooperative is mainly divided into three areas. The first area you enter is fruits and vegetables, rice and dry goods.
This area has the largest number of people.
Going a little further inside, the left side mainly sells various daily necessities and electrical appliances, such as soap, toilet soap, enamel basin watches, radios, and electric fans.
There are even TVs. There are several people in front of the TV counter, all holding TV tickets in their hands, asking the teller about the functions of the TV.
Li Duoyu, who also planned to buy a TV this year, stood aside and watched it for a while.
I found out that the TV sets sold here are all Furi TV sets.
This is a Sino-Japanese joint venture star enterprise, and it can also be said to be the most successful investment case in Rongcheng in recent years.
The production lines and technology of the TV set are all provided by the Japanese company Hitachi, while Rongcheng mainly provides space and manpower.
I heard that this brand of TVs occupied a large domestic market at its peak.
Even when Li Duoyu returned to China, there were many elderly people in the village still using this brand of TV.
After looking at the price.
A 14-inch black and white TV costs one thousand, and a 16-inch one costs one thousand and fifty. And you can't buy it directly with money, you need a TV ticket.
The price of a 16-inch color TV is as high as 2,500. Because it is imported, not only do you need a TV ticket, but you also have to use overseas remittance coupons to buy it.
Li Duoyu is also familiar with overseas remittance coupons. They are remittances sent by overseas Chinese to their family members in China and then exchanged for various coupons.
It is a general coupon that can be used to buy a lot of things, whether they are domestic or imported, and you can even go to friendship stores.
Although the price of the color TV is 2,500, if you don't have a remittance coupon, you will have to spend a lot of money to exchange it with others on the black market.
To buy it, it will cost at least 3,000 yuan.
At the time they took the goods, a 20-inch Toshiba color TV sold for less than 2,000 yuan in Shangfeng Town, and as long as you paid the money, you could take it away immediately without using any TV tickets or overseas remittance coupons.
Although smuggling goods is bad, it is definitely a great benefit for ordinary people who do not understand the law.
The right side mainly sells various clothes, blankets, cloth, shoes, etc.
Li Duoyu found a store selling beds and bedding in the far corner on the right.
The beds sold are all high and low beds, most of which are 1.5 meters in size. Only one is 1.8 meters in size, and the bed board is the one that comes with it.
One is a wooden board and the other is a brown shed mattress.
Brown shed mattresses are soft and can be regarded as the traditional "Simmons" mattresses in China. They are made of brown ropes and are considered quite luxurious nowadays.
Everything in the supply and marketing cooperative is clearly priced. A 1.8-meter bunk bed costs 180, while a 1.8-meter brown shed mattress costs 70.
A set of beds costs two hundred and fifty, which is indeed quite expensive. However, most of the beds sold here are for young people to get married, so they are more expensive.
Seeing Li Duoyu's hesitation, the teller hurriedly said: "If there are two people, I suggest you buy one with a meter and a half."
“Have children, three.”
The teller was stunned for a moment: "If there are three, then I suggest you buy a 1.8-meter one, so it will be more comfortable to sleep on."
Li Duoyu didn't think about it for long, and finally took out 25 large unity sheets from the hidden bag that Zhou Xiaoying sewed for him, and bought a set of 1.8-meter high and low beds with a brown shed.
Since winter is coming soon, Li Duoyu spent three more yuan to buy a woolen blanket.
After purchasing, the employee at the counter will pack it for you, but after that, she will not care about you, let alone deliver it to your door.
Li Duoyu had to pay his own money to hire a tractor to pull the unassembled bunk beds and brown shed to the Qingkou Pier, and he had to deduct another ten yuan for freight.
After the tractor arrived at Qingkou Pier.
Li Duoyu met many acquaintances from the village, including Zhang Erhu and Shitou, and even this guy Li Qingguang was also there.
They are all waiting for the passenger ship to depart.
I don’t know who it was, but after the news spread that he helped arrest the two Hong Kong Islanders, the villagers are now very kind to him.
Seeing Li Duoyu moving the bed, they ran directly from the passenger ship to help unload the cargo, and enthusiastically moved the planks to the ship.
After the move was completed, everyone sat together and chatted, while some young women gathered around to look at the new bed Li Duoyu bought.
A girl named Xiaoyan said with envy: "This bed is so beautiful and bright. It's not like our house, which is just made of a few pieces of wood."
“Village director, what kind of mattress is this? Why is it still soft? It should be very comfortable to sleep on.”
Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "This is a brown shed mattress."
“How much did it cost?”
"It seems to be seventy." After hearing the price, Xiaoyan took a breath of air. For them, seventy for a mattress was really too expensive.
Some villagers also complained to Li Duoyu: "Village director, when will our village be able to have a carpenter? My bed is rotten and I don't even have money to buy a new one."
Another villager said with emotion: "The same is true for mine. It has been fixed many times with nails and wooden strips. The naughty kid in my house jumped on it a few days ago and it was damaged again."
Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "I really can't help it. We have to rely on the women in our village. If they can get a carpenter to open the door upside down, then there will be a carpenter in our village."
One villager said to Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan hurry up and find one."
The girl blushed and said, "Huh, if you want to find someone, you should look for someone like Brother Yu."
Li Qingguang on the side glanced at Xiaoyan a few times. Although she was three years younger than her, at this young age, she wanted to stab girls from time to time.
"Xiaoyan, if you want to find someone like my brother, don't even think about it. At least you have to be as beautiful as my sister-in-law Xiaoying."
Xiaoyan said angrily:
“Little brat, I need you to take care of it.”
“How am I younger? He is obviously only two years older than me, and his tone is just like my mother’s.”
“I’m too lazy to pay attention to you.”
“I’m even more lazy to pay attention to you.”
While everyone was chatting, they arrived on the island. The person who helped move the bed moved the bed directly to Li Duoyu's house again.
It is indeed very tiring to move alone, and you may have to make several trips, but with five or six people, the move can be completed in one trip.
The second sister-in-law, who was making lunch, also looked envious after seeing Li Duoyu buying a new bed.
“Duoyu, how much did you buy your new bed? Is it expensive?”
“It’s not expensive, about two hundred yuan.”
After hearing the price, Zhu Xiuhua smiled awkwardly. Isn’t two hundred yuan expensive?
But it’s right to think about it, two hundred is really not that much for a brother-in-law like him.
The second sister-in-law then said: "I heard that you are engaged in fishing now. I think your second brother is too idle all day long and can't make much money. How about you take him fishing and make some money to support the family."
Li Duoyu frowned slightly and refused on the spot: "The waves outside are very big and the boat is rocking very hard. My second brother can't do anything about it."
The second sister-in-law said anxiously:
“If you don’t even let him try, how do you know if he can do it?”
Li Duoyu said seriously: "If you two really want to make money, you can do the same as dad and help me take care of the oyster fields. I will pay you a salary every month."
The second sister-in-law then asked: "Is it the same as Wenchao, with wages and shares?"
Li Duoyu replied directly: "No, if you come to help, it will be purely salary."
“Approximately how much?”
“You have to try it out for a month first, let me see how you perform, and then decide how much to charge.”
The second sister-in-law thought about it for a while. After withdrawing the money for abalone breeding this time, everyone’s bottom line was lifted. Only then did Zhu Xiuhua realize that her family was really poor.
“Then I’ll discuss it with your second brother tonight.”
“Okay, think about it carefully, but I’m telling you, it won’t be easy to work for me.”
"knew."
What makes Li Duoyu curious is that he has already gone home, why haven't Zhou Xiaoying and Xiao Tutu gone out to greet him.
I'm not still sleeping.
At this moment, little Tutu cried loudly, and Li Duoyu nervously opened the door.
It turned out that Xiaoying was not in the bedroom, and her mother-in-law Chen Huiying was helping to take care of Xiao Tutu.
The room was filled with a sour smell, and my mother-in-law Chen Huiying didn't seem to know how to change a diaper.
“Aniang, I’ll change it.”
Li Duoyu skillfully changed out of the diaper that was stained with poop, then washed little Tutu's bottom, and finally put on a new diaper.
Then he held him in his arms and coaxed him up.
Chen Huiying said with a slight complaint: "This thing you bought with money is too difficult to use. Our traditional cotton cloth is better."
Li Duoyu smiled: "It takes skill to change this. By the way, why is Xiaoying not at home?"
“Xiaoying went to school.”
Li Duoyu frowned and said, "You're going to teach in school so soon?"
Chen Huiying sighed and said: "Lin Shanshan, the substitute teacher for her, the one who played with you when she was a child, was beaten badly by her husband last night. She can't go to school today. Xiaoying has no choice but to go to school. Now, let me take care of the child first.”
“Was Lin Shanshan beaten seriously?”
Chen Huiying nodded: "My head was broken. I heard that I got seven or eight stitches at Defa's place."
Hearing this, Li Duoyu frowned. He knew that this woman was miserable in her previous life, but she didn't expect her to be so miserable.
Chen Huiying said seriously: "You have become the village director. If you have time, you can take good care of this matter."
Li Duoyu nodded.
“Okay, I’ll go see the women’s director of our village this afternoon to see how this matter is handled.”
Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes!
