With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

In the following days, people celebrated the New Year happily, but Xue Ming hid in the space to squeeze juice and boil sugar. There were less and less sugar cane in the granary, and more and more sugar cubes in the warehouse.

Zhao Erlian organized a group of people to go to the four major black markets to buy diesel tickets, and then sent a dedicated person to the fuel factory to buy diesel and help Xue Ming sell candy bars.

Brown sugar in department stores costs sixty cents per catty with sugar stamps, white sugar costs seventy cents per catty with sugar stamps, and Xue Ming's brown sugar cubes cost one yuan and twenty cents without sugar stamps.

Sugar is one of the few nutritional products, so it is a luxury product. If guests come to the house, it would be a huge favor if you can make a cup of sugar water.

The policy of the provincial capital is to allocate two taels of sugar stamps to each citizen every month, but Xue Ming has never received any sugar stamps from the neighborhood committee.

During the Chinese New Year, each family may be given coupons for a pound of brown sugar. When a daughter-in-law gives birth to a baby, she can go to the neighborhood committee to get a certificate and get a coupon for a pound of brown sugar. Hospitalized patients can also buy a pound of brown sugar by getting a certificate at the hospital.

Therefore, the supply of candy bars that Xue Ming made was in short supply. He stayed up late last night and made 300 kilograms of candy bars. Today, they were sold out in the black market in the southern suburbs in less than a morning.

At noon, Zhao Erlian pulled the frame truck to the transportation office, took out the key and opened the door, and arranged for Chen Dongfeng to stay outside the yard to watch the truck.

Zhao Erlian saw Xue Ming in the director's office. He opened his pocket and poured out banknotes of various denominations. "Three hundred kilograms of sugar were sold for 360 yuan. Does my brother-in-law still have sugar in his hand?"

"I have no more diesel." Xue Ming shook his head and gave his second uncle 20 yuan as hard money.

Squeezing sugar cane juice requires diesel, and boiling sugar requires coal and charcoal. The coal bought on Laba day cannot be used. It is for the family to keep out the cold in the winter.

There is no shortage of charcoal in the space. When I was with the Zhao Village Brigade, I often cut down trees in the forest and burned a lot of charcoal and stored it in the space.

There is a shortage of diesel, and the output of the Daqing Oilfield, established in 1959, is limited. Most of the oil resources are used for military purposes, and a small part is used for industry. The civilian quota is inherently small.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that there is still a lot of diesel in your oil depot. We can use it for emergency purposes first." Zhao Erlian said cautiously.

"Don't bother with the oil depot. How much diesel did you buy today?" Xue Ming asked.

"Two large barrels, almost 350 kilograms, were bought on the black market at a special price without gas coupons." Zhao Erlian really couldn't understand his brother-in-law's thoughts.

The so-called special oil is oil stolen from the factory by factory workers. They either sell the oil to people at the fuel factory or sell it directly on the black market.

In his opinion, his brother-in-law was just guarding Jinshan and begging for food. As the head of the transportation department, he held the key to the oil depot and misappropriated one or two thousand kilograms of diesel oil and no one else knew about it.

"Second brother, go home and have a rest. Come and get some candies at noon tomorrow." Xue Ming took out a cigarette from the drawer and gave it to him.

"There is no time to rest. Lao Chen and I will continue to go to the black market to find diesel tickets for you." Zhao Erlian patted his butt with a cigarette and left.

Xue Ming sent him away from the transportation office, locked the door and took the rack truck into the space. He placed two barrels of diesel in the warehouse and looked at his watch, which was exactly 12 noon.

I started the tractor to squeeze sugar cane juice. I was busy until 5pm and squeezed three tons of sugar cane. The efficiency of the juicer was not slow. The only drawback was that it consumed too much diesel.

Boiling fresh sugar cane juice in a large pot, Xue Ming did not feel tired while working in the space. He worked until nine o'clock in the evening and boiled 1,200 kilograms of sugar cubes.

A barrel of diesel burned out, and a lot of wood and charcoal were consumed at the same time. The pile of firewood at the foot of the mine was significantly reduced, and depending on the situation, it would not last long.

Xue Ming suddenly missed the Zhaocun Brigade Forest. There were not many woods near the provincial capital, and the forestry department was very strict in managing it, so it was impossible to obtain large quantities of wood.

After eating some rabbit meat and drinking some wine, I rode my bicycle home. The moon was very full today. When I walked into the alley, I saw two figures standing outside the Mijia courtyard in the distance.

Xue Ming hesitated for a moment and entered the space to change clothes, turned on the lantern and put on the Yanzu brand disguise mask.

After leaving the space and slowly passing by the door of his house, he suddenly discovered that the two people were Gao Yunfei and his wife Chen Xiaoyun.

"Damn bastard."

Xue Ming turned a corner and entered the space, opened the God's perspective and came to the top of the Gao family and his wife. After a while, he decided to sneak into the yard and wake up his wife to open the door.

The bedroom door suddenly opened, and Zhao Xue came outside the two younger brothers' room with a lantern in hand, "Xiaoqing, Xiaomin, are you asleep?"

The lights in the room quickly turned on. Xue Qing opened the window and whispered, "Why aren't you sleeping, sister-in-law? Do you have anything to do with me and Xiaomin?"

"Your eldest brother hasn't come back yet. I want you to follow him to find him." Zhao Xue was worried that Xue Ming wouldn't be able to sleep.

"It's cold outside, sister-in-law, go back to the house first." Xue Qing closed the window and woke up Xue Min. The two brothers put on their clothes and came to the yard.

Zhao Xue had already prepared two bicycles and opened the Mi family courtyard with a lantern to go to the transportation office to find her husband. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the Gao family and his wife.

"Why don't you leave? My man is not at home!" Zhao Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Recently, the people in the transportation department had been making trouble in the courtyard.

After the Chinese New Year, the Transportation Department allocated courtyards to family members, and forty people grabbed thirty courtyards.

Xue Ming decides who to give it to or not to give it to, so people come over every day to give gifts and leave.

Xue Ming didn't want to make any promises to them, and he wouldn't accept gifts from them if he didn't have enough money, but they were like a dog's skin plaster.

Xue Ming in the space couldn't help but curse, "In order to avoid you bastards, I don't dare to stay at home. The Chinese New Year forced me to go on duty in the unit. It's too much for you to block the door in the middle of the night."

"Sister Xiaoxue, don't be angry. The two of us just want to wish Director Xue a happy birthday. Where did Director Xue go?" Chen Xiaoyun showed the brightest smile.

Zhao Xue couldn't see her face clearly in the moonlight, "I also want to know where he went. I'm also very annoyed, sister. It's you who forced him to have a home and not be able to return."

"Sister-in-law Xue, don't be angry, we are also forced to have no choice." Gao Yunfei said as he quietly touched Chen Xiaoyun's butt.

Chen Xiaoyun took out a red envelope from his pocket as quickly as possible, stuffed it into Zhao Xue's pocket as quickly as possible, then took her husband's hand and ran away.

The red envelope contained banknotes. Zhao Xue couldn't accept it, so he chased after them. He must return the red envelope to them.

However, she was not as fast as the other party. Xue Qing ran to her sister-in-law in one breath, "Give it to me, I will chase her."

Zhao Xue knew that she had no athletic talent, so she gave the red envelope to her brother-in-law, "You must return it to them. Even if you chase him to his house, you must return it to them. We can't harm your brother."

Xue Qing chased him without saying a word, his facial features were a bit ferocious, and he did not allow anyone to hurt his elder brother.

"Sister-in-law, let's go home. It's not safe outside." There was no one around in the dead of night, and Xue Min didn't dare to let his sister-in-law stay outside.

Xue Ming shook his head and came to the back of the Mijia courtyard, left the space and rode his bicycle to catch up with Xue Qing.

None of the three of them were riding bicycles, so it probably wouldn't take long to catch up with them.
