After leaving Dongxi Steel Plant, Pan Dazhang paid the fare to Sun Xinsheng.

Before getting on the tractor, he said to Xu Jingjin: "I'm taking Xiao Zhang to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a set of villain books. Brother-in-law, are you going?"

Xu Jingjin: "What's the use of reading a little book? It's better to spend the money on a little book to buy half a catty of pork."

Pan Dazhang thought for a while and said: "That's right. Since I made money today, I will improve the food. When we pass by the farmer's market later, Master Sun will wait on the roadside for a few minutes. I will buy two kilograms of pork and my brother-in-law will take it home.

I asked my sister to prepare some meat dishes tonight, and by the way, I brought bamboo shoots from Wen Xiaoqin’s house last time, and they stir-fry them together to make a delicious dish."

Xu Jingjin thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll go with you."

Taking Sun Xinsheng's tractor to the intersection of Changzheng Avenue, the three of them got off the vehicle.

"Master Sun, didn't you say you would go to Mengshan Ao to pull big rocks to go to Mengkou Ferry tomorrow? I suggest you do it during the day, and never go at night. Because the loess road is narrow and uneven, and pulling it at night will affect

Sight is a very dangerous thing."

Pan Dazhang gave him an extra dollar according to the agreed price.

And he asked him: "I want to pay you an extra dollar, so I hope you won't tell other people in the village about how much money I made from collecting scraps today, okay?"

Sun Xinsheng was stunned after hearing this: Indeed, if Pan Dazhang had not specifically reminded him of this incident, he would definitely have mentioned it when he went back to chat with others.

It won't take many days for this matter to spread throughout the village.

In a small village, no matter whether it is good or bad, everyone will know about it within a few days.

I don't have any other entertainment at ordinary times. I don't want to chat, find something to talk about, have some fun, and don't suffocate people to death.

But now people have paid hush money.

For the sake of money, I won't say anything if I hold it in my heart.

"Don't worry, Dazhang, I will never talk nonsense. Or, don't give me money, just give me two kilograms of pork."

Sun Jiansheng still expressed his inner thoughts.

One pound of pork costs 6 cents, and two pounds costs one dollar and two.

Pan Dazhang: "Okay, no problem. Or you can park the tractor here and follow me to the Xiaoximen market in front to buy a few kilograms of pork."

"Okay, okay." Sun Xinsheng parked the tractor on the side of the road, and then walked with Pan Dazhang and others towards the Xiaoximen vegetable market opposite.

Xu Jingjin took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, ignoring Sun Xinsheng.

This old boy is not an honest man. He agreed to pay the price, and now he comes to charge another two kilograms of pork.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't give it.

Pan Dazhang gave Sun Xinsheng a cigarette.

"Master Sun, I will still come to you when I need goods in the future."

"Okay, okay, Dazhang, as long as you have something to sell, you can come to me and I will sell it to you. The people in this village won't charge you more." Sun Xinsheng agreed wholeheartedly.

Entering the pork stall in the wet market, Pan Dazhang bought two pieces of pork each weighing two kilograms each.

Pass one of the pieces to Sun Xinsheng's hand.

I wanted to buy some other vegetables, but Xu Jingjin stopped me.

"Who in the countryside would buy vegetables from the market? No matter how lazy you are, you still have to grow the vegetables you eat at home."

Pan Xiaozhang pointed to the taro sold by a peasant woman at a vegetable stall and said: "Brother, if you want to buy it, just buy a few kilograms of taro and let my sister fry some taro buns when you go back."

Pan Dazhang bought several kilograms of taro.

Pan Xiaozhang had another idea and said to Pan Dazhang: "We might as well ask Master Sun to help us bring the vegetables back, stand at the door of his house, and shout loudly so that my sister and mother can hear me."

Sun Xinsheng: "It doesn't matter if I help you take her home."

So Pan Dazhang put the two vegetables he bought in a net bag and gave them to him.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Sun."

Pan Xiaozhang took the initiative to put the taro into the net bag.

After Sun Xinsheng left, Xu Jingjin said worriedly: "He cuts you off a little bit of pork and a few taro, but you won't notice."

Pan Xiaozhang: "I counted the taros just now, and I knew as soon as I took one. The piece of pork was obviously fatter than the piece of pork given to him. If he had swapped it, I would also be able to tell."

Pan Dazhang thought they were making a fuss out of a molehill: "It's not serious. Let him take it if he wants. It doesn't matter if he eats less."

In an era of food shortage and poverty, the temptation of food is indeed very destructive.

Sun Huashou, a retired worker at Dexin Copper Mine, had no children, so he asked his nephew Sun Dalong to take his place after retirement.

Back in the countryside, I have a retirement salary of dozens of dollars every month.

Song Yumei, Li Renjie's wife next door, was seduced into bed by him with money and gifts.

Even if Li Renjie knew that they were involved, he turned a blind eye and said nothing.

Because every three days, Sun Huashou, the second-in-command, would buy several kilograms of pork from the market and deliver it to his home.

"Brother, there is a bicycle repair shop here. Why don't you go in and ask if they have used bicycles for sale?"

Pan Xiaozhang called him back from his memories.

He glanced at Pan Xiaozhang and knew what he was thinking.

I saw that he made several hundred yuan today and wanted to help him buy an old bicycle.

"What kind of bicycle should you buy at such a young age? People are not as advanced as bicycles. If you buy one, you won't be able to ride it."

Xu Jingjin scolded him.

"Li Dongsheng in Li House can ride a bicycle at the age of eight. He puts his foot in sideways and steps on it. I am twelve years old this year. I have a bicycle for me to ride. Can I learn? If you don't believe me, lend me your bicycle.

Give me a new bicycle to practice on, and I’ll be riding it on the road in less than two days.”

Pan Xiaozhang is full of confidence.

"Just go in and take a look."

According to my past life, I will go to work as a worker in Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine in March next year, and I will spend more than half a year farming at home.

If he had a bicycle as a means of transportation, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

Pan Xiaozhang rolled his eyes at Xu Jingjin and muttered in his heart: "I didn't ask you to pay for it."

If Pan Dazhang hadn't been here, he would have had a few words with his brother-in-law.

The repair shop owner saw the three of them walking directly into his shop.

He asked alertly: "I am here to repair bicycles. What do you want?"

The three of them were not riding bicycles.

"Boss, we want to see if you have any used bicycles for sale here?"

Pan Dazhang later took a leave of absence from Tieshanlong Mine to work in Guangdong.

There are many bicycle repair shops in the streets and alleys of Guangdong, and those shops sell old bicycles.

Most of its goods are purchased from various channels.

Especially new bicycles, people will steal them if you don't trust them.

Sold to a repair shop and replaced with a few parts, even if the original owner saw it, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The current era is not an era of good social security, everything is on track.

After the store owner confirmed that they were really here to buy second-hand bicycles, he said with certainty: "Yes, if you want to buy one, I'll show it to you. It's 60 yuan a piece, and it's 70% to 80% new."
