Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

On the road, riding a red and blue motorcycle, he attracted a lot of attention.

After all, in this era, there are not many motorcycles and cars to be seen on the streets.

In addition, the color of this car is different from other cars. The reason is that most of the current cars are captured on the battlefield or imported.

Most of them are military green, and the sudden appearance of a machine with such a conspicuous color will naturally attract attention.

Originally, Chen Changan didn't want to be so high-profile, but unfortunately the factory had no other colors of paint.

This is the paint used to write slogans on the wall in front of the factory gate.

In addition to red and blue, there is also white. Chen Changan feels that a motorcycle painted white is not as good as red and blue.

He rode a motorcycle around the city and attracted a lot of attention. In the eyes of many people, he went directly to the Nanjiao Farm outside the city.

After all, it's the era of the big pot now. In Chen Changan's current condition, it would be difficult for him to get food in the countryside.

Chen Changan went to the aquatic product supply company first and looked for Director Huang. After all, he had a wide network of contacts, knew many people, and was also the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Oh, Chang'an, you haven't come to my place for a long time. How come you are free today?" When Director Huang saw Chen Chang'an for the first time in the office, he stood up to greet him, poured him water and offered him a cigarette in one go.

Chen Changan said jokingly, "Director Huang, I haven't seen you for a while. Your belly has grown a lot."

As he said this, he patted Director Huang's belly.

"Isn't this all thanks to you, Chang'an? The suggestions you gave me at the beginning have basically been successful now.

I have completed my duties, and even exceeded them. I feel relieved and happy. "Director Huang said with a smile.

Chen Changan was also amused by Director Huang's words. So he said, "Director Huang, I'm not here for no reason today. I want to ask you something."

"If you have any problem, just tell me. I will do whatever I can to help you," Director Huang said generously.

Chen Changan said, "Well, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you where I can buy some food in my own name for emergency if there is not enough food at home in our city."

Director Huang smiled and said, "What's the matter, brother? Is your family short of food? That shouldn't be the case. You are the only one in your family, you and your sisters, and you are a military family. The quota should be enough for you to eat. No matter what, the street office will not let your family starve."

These words made Chen Changan feel helpless, but what could he do? It was true that his family was not short of food and had saved a lot. But even to people who knew him well, it was impossible for Chen Changan to tell them that there would be three years of natural disasters starting next year, right?

Those who don't care may think you are joking, while those who care may say that you are spreading rumors and exaggerating, and they should arrest you and interrogate you to see if you are an enemy spy.

Helpless Chen Changan could only say, "We live in a compound, and there is a neighbor whose mother and daughter-in-law are both registered as rural residents, and their children are all registered as rural residents with their mother. There is only one person, so it is quite difficult.

Their child has a good relationship with my daughter Xiuying, so they came back and asked me if I could help their family. I agreed when I saw that their child was so thin and hungry.

This means that our own food supply is not enough. After all, we are government officials, and it is forbidden to go to the black market, so we have to ask Brother Huang for help to see if there is any other solution. "

This lie came out of Chen Changan's mouth without blushing or beating his heart. Perhaps even a lie detector in the future would not be able to detect it.

Director Huang is also a kind-hearted person. It can be seen from the fact that he is willing to make friends with Chen Changan and help him just because Chen Changan has only sold him fish a few times and given him some advice.

In addition, what Chen Changan said can be seen everywhere in this era and is not something strange.

Even Director Huang has them around him, and there are quite a few of them. In addition, most people are kind-hearted. So Director Huang absolutely believes what Chen Changan says.

Director Huang pondered for a moment and said, "Changan, my aquatic company doesn't have this food. If you need hairtail, I can get you 100 to 180 kilograms of it now.

How about this? I'll call Director Meng of Nanjiao Farm, and you can go to Nanjiao Farm and take a look. We are comrades-in-arms, and you can buy a lot for my sake. Is this okay?"

Chen Changan was overjoyed when he heard this. Is this not possible? It's good enough that Director Huang can help like this. You can't ask Director Huang to buy food for you, right?

So he said, "That's good. At least we have a goal. Brother Huang, you don't know this. I've been worried about this for the past few days. I don't know many people here, and I don't know where to go to do this. Thanks to you, or else the supply and marketing cooperative and the aquatic products company are so powerful. I'm just a coal seller, and I don't have any ability."

Director Huang laughed and said, "This winter, I will beg you. Our ration of honeycomb coal is not enough. We will have to rely on you to give us more."

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and it's enough if it's good for everyone and everyone saves face.

It's funny if you really think others are short of coal. Hairtail is an indispensable part of welfare distribution in every unit every year. Do you think Director Huang will have trouble ordering honeycomb coal for the winter?

With Chen Changan's great gratitude, Director Huang escorted Chen Changan out of the office.

Unfortunately, if I send her downstairs, she might take a fancy to Chen Changan’s motorcycle.

If I ask Chen Changan for it, he would probably die of embarrassment on the spot.

In the name of a test run, we went to Nanjiao Farm to have a look. After all, most of the vegetables in the city came from Nanjiao Farm. I learned this when I was chatting with Director Huang of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Along the way, Chen Changan attracted 100% of the attention, and everyone looked at Chen Changan's motorcycle with curiosity.

There were even people shouting behind Chen Changan.

"Comrade, where did you get this motorcycle?"

Some even go so far as to directly ask for money to let them experience it for themselves.

Chen Changan knew that those who shouted this were not from poor families. What did those who were not poor do at that time?

Chen Changan, who didn't want to cause any trouble, simply stepped on the accelerator, leaving behind a group of young people who were left envious.

Motorcycles are still very attractive to young people of this era.

One of the young men said to himself, "Where did you get this motorcycle from? My uncle works at the customs. I'll ask him when I get back if we have imported motorcycles like this recently. They run so fast. So cool."

Regardless of what others thought, Chen Changan continued all the way to Nanjiao Farm.

There were fields as far as the eye could see, mostly filled with lush green vegetables.

Chen Changan also grew up in the city in his previous life and has never left the city in this life.

To be honest, this was the first time Chen Changan had seen such a scene. He didn't recognize most of the crops when he walked past the fields.

Occasionally, he would see beans, eggplants, and tomatoes, and Chen Changan could even name them, but he didn't recognize the others at all.
