"Don't worry about the cigarette tickets, I can just ask someone to borrow two." Wang Manyin replied.

Years ago, the supply and marketing cooperative distributed a lot of cigarette coupons to various production teams. If you want to get them easily, just ask Liu Qingli for help.

It was indeed as Wang Manyin thought. After hearing what he said, Liu Qingli agreed immediately. He even said that he didn't need to buy cigarettes, he could just go over and say the words.

"How can I be a favor to you if I ask you to help me?" Wang Manyin shook his head quickly.

This was also the reason why he went to Liu Qingli alone. There were some things he couldn't say in front of outsiders. In fact, Wang Manyin originally planned to go to the person in charge of the last meat purchase, but Liu Qingli came forward, which made things easier.

But after all, it doesn't matter if you help others. The key is not to let Liu Qingli use the favor in vain.

"Okay," the other party hesitated and nodded.

It's that simple!

The matter that had troubled Wang Xiugang and his wife for a long time came to Liu Qingli to solve it in one sentence.

"Old Zhao, this is my relative, why bother!"

Liu Qingli tore open the cigarette case, smoked one and handed it to the buyer.

Then, he stuffed the rest into the other person's pocket without leaving any trace.

"Look, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family doesn't recognize the other. If I had told you that you and Xiao Liu were relatives, things wouldn't have been so troublesome. Go ahead and weigh yourself, and I'll press 5 for 'Guess'."

Jin." With a smile on his face, the buyer directly called Wang Xiugang to go to the pig pen to catch the pigs.

It was only estimated to be five kilograms, and the situation was better than expected.

Wang Xiugang and his wife were naturally very satisfied and rushed to weigh their pigs.

This behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other people queuing up to sell pigs. They did not dare to complain loudly, but just whispered.

"What a fuss, what a fuss, who doesn't want to sell the pigs and drive them back on their own... If there is a first-come, first-served rule, people will come here in the morning, so they must be in the front." The buyer turned around and shouted.

There was a sudden silence in the venue, no one dared to say more.

These days, the collectors at food stations are cows. If you are really offended, I will definitely give you eye drops when the pigs are collected.

"One hundred and thirty-eight pounds, a second-class pig!"

After the buyer looked at the scale, he directly reported the weight and grade.

It really made Wang Fugui say it.

If the couple foolishly waited until the afternoon, the spotted pig would lose at least ten kilograms and be rated as a C-grade pig.

After tossing it inside and out, it cost more than ten yuan.

In fact, the weight of Wang Xiugang’s pig is already quite good.

These days, most people don't have enough to eat, let alone the livestock they raise. Many people feed their pigs in addition to some bran for washing pot water, but also rotten vegetable leaves, sweet potato seedlings, and go to the wild to hunt hogweed.

Pigs will naturally not gain weight just by eating these things.

I worked hard for a year, but in the end I couldn't even get a grade.

The pig in Wang Xiugang's family was rated as second-grade, which shows that the couple usually puts a lot of effort into it.

After the buyer weighs the pigs, he issues an invoice and fills out the completion certificate. This is also a set of procedures... When Wang Xiugang and his wife return home, they only need to hand over the completion certificate to the production team, and this year's pig pre-purchase task will be completed.

After receiving the money, Wang Xiugang dragged several people to a restaurant for a meal.

"Okay, brother Xiugang, we are all from the same village. Eat whatever you want, go back early..." Wang Manyin naturally did not agree.

It's just a small favor, eating is a bit much.

***

During dinner in the evening, Wang Manyin kept listening to the village loudspeaker.

As the sky turned completely dark and the loudspeaker never sounded, he knew there would be no more meetings tonight.

Leaving Orchid to look after the house, Wang Manyin packed two boxes of snacks and two packets of sugar in cloth bags. Taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly walked towards Wang Manyun's house.

Seeing that there were still more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, Wang Manyin was afraid that people would be busy by then, so he decided to visit the house in advance to give gifts.

"Man Yin, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing him holding something, Wang Mandun's first reaction was that something was wrong.

"Brother Mantun, it's okay. We won't be celebrating the Chinese New Year soon, so I just wanted to come over and have a chat. I was running a consignment store before, so please worry about it."

"To be honest, since you opened this agency, there are quite a few people in our village who say weird things behind the scenes, and I have to push them back."

Wang Manyin didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false, but he just took it as true.

He couldn't help but nod in approval: "Brother Mantun has troubled himself..."

"Actually, it's nothing. Director Guo of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is backing you, and most people can't afford to make such a big deal... But Bank of Man, I asked you to pay 5 yuan a month for the sales agency. Do you think about this?

You can't complain. The main thing is that you are a coward and you didn't join a production team at that time. You got such a good thing. I was afraid that other members would have objections, so I did it as a last resort."

"Brother Mantun, I understand and know that you are good for me." Wang Manyin still nodded respectfully without any dissatisfaction.

Is it reasonable to say that I pay five yuan to the village every month for my own sales?

It’s definitely unreasonable! It can even be said to be completely unreasonable.

But in this day and age, many things in rural areas cannot be simply used to make sense. For example, you can’t raise more than five chickens. What kind of truth is this? Let’s not forget that 80% of the money earned by members of a cooperative goes out to do side jobs during their spare time.

Is it reasonable to hand it over to the production team?

Wang Manyin also heard that something happened in the commune next door, and someone asked him to find a substitute teacher's job in Yuanxi County through connections.

Because he failed to pass the brigade's approval, a punitive ultimatum was issued to his family.

Let the other party follow the standards of a craftsman and return the hooked payment of 6 yuan every day starting from the day he leaves the production team.

That's right, every day.

As a substitute teacher, I can only earn 18 yuan a month. How can I get 6 yuan of linked payment every day?

Again, if you take it seriously, you will lose.

Therefore, Wang Manyin didn't really care about paying five yuan a month, and just spent money to buy peace and quiet.

It's best to take some losses and be safe. You have space and don't have to worry about food and drink. You are already ahead of most people in this era.

At the end of the sentence, Wang Mandun changed the subject.

"But you're getting married now, so you'll definitely have a heavy burden in the future. Otherwise, after the Chinese New Year, you won't have to pay any more to the brigade."

"Thank you so much, Brother Mantun." Wang Manyin didn't know that the wine and sugar he brought over had an effect.

"By the way, can you still get Xifeng wine?"

"Brother Mantun, if others ask, I will definitely say that I can't get it. If you want it, you must have it! But one or two bottles are fine, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to get more. When do you want it?" Wang Manyin nodded and assured.

When I went to the supply and marketing cooperative before, I heard Liu Qingli say that they had internal alcohol coupon benefits.

It shouldn't be difficult to ask the other person to help you mix the two bottles.

"That's great. It's best to get it in the next few days. I'll get you some money..." As he said that, Wang Mandun took out two banknotes from his pocket.

"Brother Mantun, you're out of town now. What kind of money will you get?" Wang Manyin declined repeatedly, saying that he didn't want anything.

"Man Yin, you must keep the money. I know Xifeng wine is difficult to get... If you don't accept it, I'll have the wine." Wang Mandun insisted on giving the money.

Seeing the serious look on the other party's face, Wang Manyin had no choice but to take it: "Okay, then I'll accept it."

While talking, he quietly put the money on the Kang table.

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm really worried about your useless nephew."

Wang Mandun scratched his hair and sighed.

"What's wrong with the navy? Aren't they taught well in our village's primary school?" Wang Manyin asked following the conversation.

Wang Mandun's eldest son, Wang Haijun, did not finish junior high school and is now working as a teacher at Gugan Village Primary School.

"This coward has been fooling around all day long. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he doesn't want to teach in our village primary school? I wanted to find connections a few years ago to see if I could find him a job in the commune..."

Hearing this, Wang Manyin didn't know what to say.

Being able to teach in a village primary school, out of the wind and rain, is definitely a rare and easy job. In addition, the village will record 2,600 work points per year and provide an additional 6 yuan monthly subsidy.

This kind of job is a dream for many people in the village.
