Reborn in 1977

#322 - I'm really out of money.

When Chen Fan got outside, he looked at the things everyone was moving in and immediately said, "Please take a look at what's in the boxes. If they are books, please help move them into the new house and put them in the living room on the first floor."

The floor tiles were laid 12 days ago, so they are already solid and can handle heavy objects without any problems.

Everyone responded immediately, and several people carried the boxes towards the backyard.

At that moment, several more people came in. "Teacher Chen, where should we put the medicinal herbs?"

Chen Fan pointed behind him. "Living room on the first floor of the new house."

After a pause, he simply walked outside and shouted to the people who were continuously bringing things down, "Please help deliver everything to the living room on the first floor of the new house."

He brought back a lot of things this time, including about two thousand old books, as well as various electrical appliances and mechanical parts. There was no place to put so many things in the educated youth院, and only the newly built house could accommodate them.

Unexpectedly, the new house that was so hard to build, I haven't had time to enjoy it myself, and it will be used for those "junk" first.

While Chen Fan was lamenting secretly, Secretary Yang and Quan An accompanied the driver over.

He quickly greeted them and smiled at the driver. "You've had a hard journey. Come in and sit for a while, and have a good drink later."

The driver was also very polite and waved his hand with a smile. "It's okay, it's okay, you go ahead and do your work."

Since Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang accompanied the driver into the courtyard, Quan An, Captain Yang, Huang the storekeeper, and Accountant Liu stayed at the entrance.

Captain Yang looked at Chen Fan with envy. "How much did you buy your bicycle and sewing machine for?"

Chen Fan looked at him and chuckled. "Not much, 150 yuan together."

Accountant Liu widened his eyes. "So cheap?"

Chen Fan said, "I bought them at a second-hand store, so wouldn't they be cheap? And they don't even need票!"

"Don't need 票?"

Hearing this, the three people immediately became excited.

Huang the storekeeper quickly asked, "Is there still a second-hand store?"

Chen Fan nodded. "Yes, there is."

Captain Yang clenched his right fist and slammed it into his palm. "Oh dear, why didn't you buy more?"

Accountant Liu grabbed him. "Why don't we go to the prefectural committee tomorrow too?"

Before Captain Yang could speak, Quan An poured cold water on them from the side. "That's the prefectural committee, and it takes two hours to drive there. Have you thought about how you're going to get back after going so far to buy things?"

Accountant Liu immediately said, "I'll tie the sewing machine to my bicycle and ride it back!"

Chen Fan chuckled. "And then you'll get a flat tire halfway, and you'll have no place to cry."

Accountant Liu's face darkened. "I, I, I…"

"Don't 'I'啦'."

Chen Fan said to the person pushing the bicycle down, "Uncle Huang Si, the bicycle is here."

Huang Lao Si happily pushed the bicycle over, and when he handed it over, he was a little reluctant. "This bicycle is really good."

Chen Fan took the bicycle, but handed it to Captain Yang, turned his head and glanced at them, and said with a smile, "I didn't know you all wanted bicycles, because I only heard Captain Yang say it before, so I only bought one for him."

Everyone was stunned, and Yang Chuanfu, who was holding the bicycle handlebars, was full of disbelief. "You bought it for me?"

Chen Fan smiled and made a gesture. "This bicycle is 80% new, and the price is 78 yuan. I have the receipt here, and I can give it to you later."

After a pause, he smiled again, "Of course, if you don't want it, I'll transfer it to someone else, or keep it for myself, it's fine."

As soon as he heard this, Accountant Liu was about to step forward and snatch it. "If he doesn't want it, I want it!"

Captain Yang suddenly pounced on the bicycle, waving his arms like a crab. "Get out, get out, all of you get out, who said I don't want it? I want this car!"

When he raised his head, his face was already full of smiles. "Oh dear, I can buy a bicycle for 78 yuan, and I don't even need 票, what a great deal!"

As he spoke, he pushed the bicycle towards his home. "Xiao Chen, wait for me, I'll go get the money for you."

Chen Fan looked at him strangely and shouted loudly, "Captain, why don't you ride it?"

Captain Yang's voice came from afar, "I'll ride it when I learn how!"

After a brief silence, everyone burst into laughter.

So Yang Chuanfu, who had been thinking about bicycles for more than ten years, still doesn't know how to ride a bicycle?!

After laughing, a bit of melancholy appeared on Accountant Liu's face. "Oh dear, how are we going to go to the prefectural committee to buy bicycles and sewing machines?"

Huang the storekeeper also frowned. "That's right, if I had known that there was a second-hand store in the prefectural committee, I would have gone there long ago. Even if I didn't have a car, I could have brought a bag of dry food and dragged it back with a cart."

Huang Lao Si looked left and right, his face full of curiosity. "This car is second-hand?"

Huang the storekeeper glanced at him. "So what if it's second-hand? It's cheap, only 78 yuan, and you don't need a票!"

Huang Lao Si instantly felt sour.

Chen Fan smiled on the side and continued to tempt them, "In addition to bicycles and sewing machines, there are also watches and radios,…"

Hearing this, the three people's eyes went straight, and they stared at him blankly.

Chen Fan chuckled, "Like sewing machines and bicycles, they don't need 票, and the prices are cheap. Radios are only 30 yuan, and watches are only 80 to 100. Although they are not half as cheap as bicycles and sewing machines, they are also 30% to 40% cheaper, which is super cost-effective."

Accountant Liu was about to cry. "You, why didn't you buy more?! Are you afraid that no one will buy them if you buy them back?!"

Chen Fan clapped his hands and said with a face full of regret, "Why didn't I want to buy them? But even if they are cheap, they still cost money. I don't have any money!"

He spent a lot of money on this trip to the prefectural committee. On the first day, he spent 60 yuan and 3毛 on clothes at the department store, and then spent nearly 10 yuan on 《Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry》 at the Xinhua Bookstore, and then spent 25 yuan on discounted cloth at the cotton mill sales department, and then 150 yuan on bicycles and sewing machines.

Later, he spent 21 yuan, 7毛 and 7 on buying old books and waste products such as electronic and mechanical parts at the waste recycling company.

That night, he invited Jiang Tiantian to dinner and ordered several big dishes at the 工农饭店, which cost 6 yuan and 6, and after dinner, he also called a pedicab to take her back to the cotton mill dormitory area, and then he took the bus back, which was another 4毛, adding up to exactly 7 yuan.

Finally, when he left, he spent 50 yuan to buy tiger bones and ginseng, and today he spent 80 to buy 滚滚.

He had only withdrawn 150 yuan from the brigade department before, and he had spent it all, and he had also smashed in another 254 yuan.

The bankrupt image he had just erected was crumbling.

I wonder how many people will believe him when he cries poor at this time?

However, Huang the storekeeper and Accountant Liu both believed him.

Huang the storekeeper sighed with regret, "Why don't you have any money?"

Accountant Liu shook his head and sighed, "It would be great if we could buy a few more back."

Quan An patted Chen Fan on the shoulder, his face also a little regretful, "There are not many opportunities like today to have a truck specially sent back. If you had built the house a month later, you would have been able to buy more second-hand goods back."

Although his family has a bicycle, it is for his wife's exclusive use. If possible, he would be happy to spend two months' salary to buy a second-hand car.

Chen Fan blinked, a little understanding why they believed it without thinking.

If there is still money in hand, who wouldn't want to bring a few more big items home?

He didn't expect that the status of the "three rounds and one sound" big items in their hearts was so high.

After talking for a while, the sewing machine was also carried down.

Chen Fan quickly led them towards the educated youth院. "There's no need to carry this up, just leave it here to use."

It is completely foreseeable that someone will come to borrow the sewing machine, and the number of borrowers will depend on how many people can use it.

If there were no "three rounds and one sound" tickets from the health department, so be it. Since he has these票证, he will definitely keep the new ones and put them in the new house. This old one is naturally placed in the educated youth院. No matter who comes to borrow it, there is only this one!

The reason why he didn't use these tickets before returning was still because of money.

It's not that he didn't have enough money. After spending 254, he still had 600 yuan in his hand, which was more than enough to buy these four things.

But if he really bought them all back, even if he talked until his mouth was dry, no one would believe that he really didn't have any money!

So he still has to be patient and wait until he earns the next wave of money before going to the prefectural committee to buy these things back.

……

The sewing machine was carried into the educated youth院, immediately causing a burst of screams.

Even Jiang Lili and the other four who had just helped him pack his luggage ran over to watch.

Yang Yuejin and Yang Weiguo glared at Yang Ju. "Where to put it?"

Yang Ju immediately looked at Chen Fan. "Teacher Chen, where should we put this?"

Chen Fan pointed to the杂物间. "Put it in the杂物间 first, and when it's cleaned up, we'll use it as a sewing room."

Yang Ju immediately led people towards the 杂物间.

Other people who had finished their work followed to watch the excitement, while Chen Fan walked through the backyard towards his new house, with only Quan An with him.

When he passed the stable, he turned around and opened the fence, stuffing the little mare and the foal that had been following behind him into it.

After patting the horse's head, he touched it. "Be good, I'm very busy now, I'll take you for a walk tomorrow."

The little mare reluctantly took two steps back and snorted.

Quan An couldn't help shaking his head as he watched. "The livestock here are really getting smarter."

Chen Fan walked through the back door and walked up, while chuckling, "Animals are inherently spiritual. Look at those dogs and cats, which one is not humane? Besides, I have also studied veterinary medicine. As long as I understand the temperaments of these animals, it is easy to communicate with them."

Quan An still shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, I don't have this ability."

After climbing the slope for a while, he walked through the gate into the living room. Dozens of people were in the living room, unpacking the cardboard boxes and taking out the things inside.

All the old books were classified according to the boxes and placed on the ground, while other things were placed on the floor with cardboard boxes as垫子.

In particular, several heavier mechanical parts were垫了几层纸壳.

Quan An looked at the things on the ground and turned to look at Chen Fan. "What are you going to do with these things?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Sort them out first. I'll keep some, and the rest will be handed over to the brigade department."
