Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Several months have passed since Zeng Wangcai made his contribution and went to training, but he has not brought any supplies home.

A few months is neither long nor short, but for those who are struggling to get by, it feels very long.

Therefore, many people in Siheyuan forgot Zeng Wangcai's ability to get supplies. The Zeng family kept a low profile for several months and did not receive a large amount of supplies.

Only Yan Bugui remembered this clearly, and tried to continue to harvest dozens or even a hundred kilograms of fish a day.

The third uncle used his unique vision to wait for the clouds to clear and see the sun and the moon!

"Oh, there are fish..." Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui could not eat anymore. He wanted to follow and help, and take the opportunity to find out something.

But at this time Zeng Youqian didn't care about him. He opened the door and went out with the big foot basin at home.

After a while, Zeng Youqian and his wife came back carrying a basin filled with five or six blue carps weighing more than ten pounds, as well as some boneless fish such as mandarin fish and yellow croaker weighing one or two pounds.

The big fish was prepared as before, pickled, and the boneless fish was cooked for the children.

"Oh, is it Wangcai who is back? So many fish!" Yan Bugui looked at the fish in other people's basins, and then looked at the finger-sized fish on his own table. Instead of being depressed, he was extremely happy. He stopped eating and drinking. "What big fish! It must be your Wangcai who is back. Come on, let me help you!"

After helping Zeng Youqian carry the basin in, Yan Bugui followed Zeng Youqian out happily and saw the Jiefang truck.

He didn't care about anything else, he climbed up on the wheels and took a look, he was shocked: "Wow, so many pumpkins."

More than a thousand pounds of fish is a lot, but the pumpkins are more numerous and more eye-catching.

"Lao Zeng, where did all these pumpkins come from?" Yan Bugui asked subconsciously.

Some people knew that Zeng Wangcai was farming in the army, but no one thought he would have a good harvest.

So Zeng Youqian never mentioned it again after he had said it before, and now he proudly said: "The harvest from the fields, Wangcai and his troops have a good harvest, in addition to pumpkins, there are also sweet potatoes, and tomatoes..."

"Tomatoes?" Yan Bugui was slightly confused, thinking that the army was good, they didn't grow food, he didn't care about anything else, and asked, "Lao Zeng, what are you going to do with these things? Can you..."

The implication is, can I buy some?

Pumpkin and sweet potato can be considered grains, and they are much more delicious than mixed noodles.

Now some families cannot buy food even if they have money, which is a big problem.

Things like pumpkins and sweet potatoes were two cents a pound, and if you could buy them, it would be fine even if you had to spend some food coupons.

"Just like before, the Peking University cafeteria and the purchasing stations are purchasing them." Zeng Youqian is not stupid, it is impossible for him to say that he can sell it directly.

Yan Bugui looked disappointed when he heard this.

At this time, Zhang Xiuzhi poked her head out of the car and said, "Uncle San, Director Qian from the purchasing station will be here soon. Go and ask everyone in the hospital if anyone wants to buy. Just buy some from the purchasing station, but not too much."

"Oh, that's great. I'll go get them right away!" Yan Bugui was happy.

The reason why Zhang Xiuzhi made this offer was because Zeng Wangcai had told her about it in advance.

Zeng Wangcai felt that there were too many things this time, so it was okay to release some of them. The most important thing was that people from the street office also wanted to buy some.

Sell ​​them to purchasing stations, and the purchasing stations still sell them to ordinary people. Pumpkins and sweet potatoes are not meat dishes, so even if someone is eyeing them, they won’t be too harsh on them.

Yan Bugui ran back happily. He did not go to the middle courtyard to call for help, but told his wife: "Hurry up, prepare some money, don't eat, Boss, go to your father-in-law's house and tell them to come over!"

"I'm not going. Yu Li is quarreling with me about the house." Yan Jiecheng said with his neck shrunk.

The last time everyone visited the Zeng family’s house, many people were interested. Xu Damao has already started construction in the backyard.

After Yu Li found out, she also wanted to renovate the house, but Yan Bugui had no money, or was reluctant to do so.

But no matter what, Yu Li had a quarrel with Yan Jiefang over this matter.

"You are stupid!" Yan Bugui said, "Isn't this a good opportunity? Where can you buy such a big fish, pumpkin and sweet potato now?"

"Pumpkin? Where did the pumpkin come from?" The third aunt looked confused.

Yan Bugui was too lazy to explain to her and kept urging Yan Jiecheng to go and see for himself.

Yan Jiecheng went out and took a look, immediately understood, and ran to Yu Li's house happily.

Yan Bugui waited for a while, and when he felt that the time was about right, he went to the Intermediate Court.

Every household in the Central Courtyard was eating, and the food was all bland. Only Sha Zhu's family had a better meal, but there was no meat either, because the meat had all been sent to the table of Widow Qin's family.

"Ahem!" Walking to the middle of the courtyard, where the old men usually stood during meetings, Yan Bugui cleared his throat and said, "Hey, let me tell you something, it's a good thing!

"The daughter-in-law of the old Zeng family in the front yard is back from the army. She brought back a lot of fish, pumpkins and sweet potatoes. Old Zeng said that the purchasing station will come to buy them soon. If any of you want to buy, take this opportunity to buy some, just like last time. If you don't want to buy, don't join in the fun. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have this store again."

"What? Fish and pumpkin?"

"It's the same as last time. Doesn't that mean we don't need food coupons?"

"You are stupid. Pumpkin is a vegetable. Why do you need food coupons? The key is fish..."

In a few seconds, all the food stalls were closed. The woman who was in charge of the food coupons and banknotes in the house immediately went back to the house, got the money, and ran out like crazy.

Shazhu ran away too!

Yan Bugui went to notify the backyard again, and soon all the people in the backyard ran away.

Liu Haizhong came out of the backyard with his hands behind his back and sat down at the square table in Yi Zhonghai's house: "Old Yi, here you are again!"

Yi Zhonghai stared at the dining table of Sha Zhu's family, feeling unhappy: "They are capable and can give us benefits, what can we do?"

He is suffering a lot now. After such a long time, his work problem has not been solved and he is still sweeping toilets.

"It's like this, Lao Yi, listen to me, I have a way." Liu Haizhong said quietly, "I have a way that can get us a job at Xishan Machinery Factory, do you want to go?"

"Shh!" Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu who was standing opposite him, "Keep your voice down, we'll talk later."

Liu Haizhong understood and shut up.

He does have a distant relative who has connections at the Xishan Machinery Factory.

After the Xishan Machinery Factory was destroyed, productivity had just been restored and the task of producing new guns was given, and it was urgent.

The parts of the new gun were not compatible with the previous ones, so fitter support was urgently needed, which gave Liu Haizhong this opportunity.

Liu Haizhong took Yi Zhonghai with him this time, not only out of kindness, but also because he wanted to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's eighth-level locksmith skills.

Qin Huairu, who was sitting opposite her, didn't hear the key point. After thinking about it, she walked over to Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, go out and talk to Shazhu. If there are fish, let's buy two as well."

Qin Jingru was unwilling: "I heard from Shazhu that they are all big fish, one weighs seven or eight kilograms, two will cost more than ten yuan, we can't finish them."

Qin Huairu whispered a few words next to Qin Jingru's ear, which immediately persuaded Qin Jingru to go out and ask Sha Zhu to buy fish.

Outside, Director Qian, who had been promoted, came hurriedly. At the intersection, he once again met Zheng Yishan, who was riding a bicycle and had received the news.

The two groups met and came to the gate of the courtyard together.

At this time, the entrance of the courtyard was extremely lively.

"Selling fish, selling fish again."

"Everyone, please don't rush, line up..."

Director Qian and Zheng Yishan looked at each other, and both saw heartache in each other's eyes.

Who the hell is this? This is our fish!
