How to Thrive in the ’60s

"Little comrade, don't you need to count it?" Zhang Sufen pointed to Gu Shinian's pocket.

"No need to count, I trust Comrade Zhang."

Gu Shinian's words made Zhang Sufen feel even more anxious.

She has bought black market food so many times, and this is the first time she has encountered such a generous and lucid seller that makes people feel comfortable with their money.

Seeing that Gu Shinian packed his backpack and was about to take Yunshang to leave, Zhang Sufen quickly asked, "Little comrade, do you still have refined grains? If so, I would like to buy some more."

"Comrade, no more."

Gu Shinian gave Yun Chang a look from an angle that Zhang Sufen couldn't see. Yun Chang received the signal and immediately raised his head, and asked Gu Shinian innocently, "Brother, why are you lying, Bai Mi is not paying back. Isn't it finished?"

With the dismantling of Yunshang, Zhang Sufen reacted immediately, stepped over a few steps, carried Yunshang to the living room chair, and poured a bowl of sugar water for her and Gu Shinian, and then said with a smile:

"Little comrade, it's cold outside. Your sister is still young. The cold wind has been blowing for so long before. If you go out now, your bones will freeze. Come, sit down and drink some hot water to warm up your body."

Gu Shinian wanted to refuse, but Yun Chang had already drank from the cup, but in desperation, he had to walk over and sit down beside Yun Chang.

As the saying goes, eating people's mouth is soft, and taking people's hands is short. Yunshang drank Zhang Sufen's sugar water, and his mouth softened, and in front of Gu Shinian, he exposed his old bottom.

"Auntie Zhang, you are so kind, and you gave me sweet sugar water. My brother is not good, he lied, we still have rice..."

"Boer! Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Shinian's face turned dark, but Yun Chang's face was even darker, his brows wrinkled, his fingers almost poked into Gu Shinian's nostrils:

"I'm not talking nonsense! You're lying! You promised to exchange white rice for the ticket, buy me fancy clothes to wear, and buy braised pork to eat. I haven't seen the fancy clothes and braised pork, so you say that there is no white rice. !"

Zhang Sufen: "..."

Whose prodigal child is this!

Selling refined white rice and white noodles is just to wear fancy clothes and eat braised pork. Isn't this a waste of food!

He must have done this without telling the adults!

Gu Shinian had a rare look of embarrassment on his face, glared at Yun Chang, turned back and smiled apologetically at Zhang Sufen, "Comrade, it's not that I don't sell you, I have already told people about the rest of the polished rice. , to exchange for cloth and various bills..."

"I also have the cloth and bills! I can change it for you right now as much as you want!"

Zhang Sufen breathed a sigh of relief. It is not easy to get fabrics. There are 11 people in her mother-in-law's family who work in a textile factory. There is no shortage of fabrics at home. As for bills, she usually uses fabrics to exchange for various bills. There is no shortage at home either. The only thing missing is fine grains that are rarely seen on the market.

Seeing that Gu Shinian still has polished rice in his hand, how could Zhang Sufen let him go.

After soaking for half an hour, Gu Shinian finally reluctantly agreed to give Zhang Sufen 10 pounds of polished rice.

While Zhang Sufen was collecting fabrics and bills at home, Gu Shinian took Yunshang and went out for a spin, and when she came back, she already had ten catties of white rice in her hand, and Zhang Sufen's face was full of joy. .

In this transaction, Gu Shinian chose seven pieces of fabric suitable for him and Yunshang, and more than ten industrial tickets, a few meat tickets and food tickets, and then quickly left the textile factory staff compound with Yunshang in his arms. Son.

"Second brother Gu, why did you tell Zhang Sufen that there is no more refined grains?"

Yun Chang was very puzzled. After the first transaction was completed, since Gu Shinian still wanted to make a second transaction with Zhang Sufen, why did he tell the other party that there was no refined grain, and specially arranged for her to play a play.

"To stall for time."

Yun Chang turned her head to the side with an expression on her face asking for explanation.

"A-Shang, you have been blowing the cold wind for a long time outside, and you have eaten half an apple. You need to drink some hot water to warm your stomach and warm your body in the house. If we stay at Zhang Sufen's house for a while, you will be able to slow down more. for a while.

Let's talk about acting as a full set. I refused to do business with that old lady before, saying that I was taking you to a relative’s house for dinner. At that time, not only the old lady heard it, but also the workers passing by. Just in case, the longer we stay at Zhang Sufen's house, the less suspicious it will be. "

Only then did Yun Chang understand that Gu Shinian's purpose of delaying time, in addition to worrying about her body, there are also safety factors.

Generally speaking, it takes about half an hour to eat a meal. It took at most ten minutes from when they met Zhang Sufen to when the first transaction was completed. If the second transaction is to be carried out immediately, Gu Shinian will need to take her out for a spin, and in the eyes of a caring person, wouldn't it be inconsistent.

Gu Shinian acted in a play and stayed at Zhang Sufen's house for a full forty minutes. After they went out, no one could doubt that they were not visiting relatives.

Yun Chang was full of admiration, and opened her mouth to praise Gu Shinian:

"Second brother Gu, you are really amazing, you thought about it so thoroughly."

Gu Shinian replied without saying a word. Of course he meant to do a full set of dramas, but he was more concerned about Yunshang's body.

As Zhang Sufen said, with Yunshang's small body, the cold wind was blowing for a long time, and half an apple was eaten. If you don't drink some hot water and warm your body in the house, you will freeze your body.

Yun Chang didn't know what Gu Shinian was thinking. Looking at the still neat adobe house, she asked curiously, "Second brother Gu, where are we going now?"

"Go find someone, it's the red sleeve that stopped you last time."

Without waiting for Yunshang to continue to ask questions, Gu Shinian turned around, turned into a narrow alley, and stopped in front of a dark thin wooden door.

After a few knocks on the door, neither light nor heavy, footsteps quickly sounded in the yard, and then the wooden door opened, and the fierce red sleeves appeared at the door last time.

"Where did you go, kid? After looking for you several times, I didn't see anyone. I thought you were killed by Gu Guangzong... Hey? You, you, where did you kidnap the little girl?"

As soon as Hong Sleeve saw Gu Shinian, he chatted endlessly. It was not until Yun Chang raised his head that he seemed to have seen a ghost. His eyes were round and round, he pointed at Yun Chang, and stammered and asked. .

"My sister, go ahead and talk about it."

Gu Shinian bypassed the red sleeves and walked directly into the house with Yunshang in his arms. The red sleeves let out a "hey", followed Gu Shinian a few steps, turned around and closed the door, and then ran into the house in a hurry.

"Gu Shinian, what are you talking about? You are the youngest of your family, where did you come from?"

As soon as the red sleeves entered the room, they hurriedly asked, and looked at Yunshang again, and immediately froze again:

"Wait! This isn't it, isn't this the little girl who punched me!"
