Chapter 206 Collecting Antiques
After get off work, everyone gathered around Li Wen and arrived at the department's small warehouse.
"Xiaowen, why is there still rice?" Tao Hong looked at half a bag of white rice and swallowed and asked.
"Sister Tao, Xiao Wen and I bought this together. Do you want some?" Sun Lianying hurriedly came out to help Li Wen.
"What price?"
Everyone looked at Sun Lianying with eager eyes.
"Because we are acquaintances, the food stamps were discounted and I bought them for 50 cents a pound." Sun Lianying said the price.
“It’s really not cheap!”
However, everyone is just talking about it. It is difficult to buy food without tickets these days. They also know the price of food on the black market and the pigeon market.
The last few regular workers asked for three kilograms each. Tao Hong and Xie Fangfang, who were from well-off families, each bought five kilograms. As for the other temporary workers, they could only afford it because they couldn't afford it.
As a leader, he does not worry about scarcity but inequality. Seeing this situation, Sun Lianying promised to produce a batch of fine grain by the end of the year as departmental welfare.
Li Wen and Sun Lianying carried the remaining grain and fruit back to Sun Lianying's house.
"Uncle Sun, did you forget that bastard in the office?" Li Wen asked doubtfully on the way.
"The office is so eye-catching, I put it in Lao Zhang's car, and he will take it to my house in the evening." Sun Lianying explained with a smile.
Li Wen smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
"Dad, you're back!"
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the alley, Sun Xiaofang, who was playing with the children, spotted Sun Lianying at a glance and ran over screaming.
Because he was carrying something on his back, Sun Lianying did not go directly to hug his daughter, but touched the little one's little head.
"Fangfang, do you miss dad?"
"think!"
"Let's go home." Sun Lianying took the little girl's hand and walked back home happily.
After returning home, Sun Lianying took out two tangerines from the bag behind his back and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl carried the tangerine in her clothes and ran excitedly to her room to share it with her two brothers who were doing homework.
"The little girl is still too young!" Li Wen said with emotion as he looked at Sun Fangfang running into the room.
As Li Wen expected, within a minute, Sun Fangfang's crying could be heard in the room.
How could two oranges be enough for three people? The two brothers must have been greedy and ate the little girl's portion.
"Are you two itchy? I bullied my sister as soon as I came back." Sun Lianying yelled in the yard.
"Dad, second brother has finished eating my oranges." The little girl ran out of the room wiping her tears.
"Ai Dang, don't eat today's dinner. You've bullied your sister all day long. How did you become a brother?" Zhang Xiufang, who was cooking in the kitchen, also shouted into the room.
"It seems that this patriot is a naughty boy!"
Li Wen instantly thought of his funny cousin Li Yong.
The two boys hid in the room and did not dare to come out. It was not until they smelled the smell of meat in the yard that they snuck out angrily, clutching their stomachs.
Sun Lianying and his wife scolded each other, but they still did not let their two sons go hungry.
Especially Sun Lianying, who had been on a business trip for several days and hadn't seen many of his children. He couldn't bear to fight if he couldn't think of anything.
"Xiaowen, you got this rice. Why do you only need 10 kilograms? This is too little."
After dinner, Li Wen proposed that he only wanted ten kilograms of rice and left the remaining 40 kilograms to Sun Lianying, which moved the couple very much.
In the end, the couple gave up after forcing Li Wen to pay fifteen yuan.
Li Wen didn't stay long. Even though the Sun family and his wife repeatedly asked him to stay, he got up and left.
After sending Li Wen away, Sun Lianying and his wife returned to the room happily carrying the food.
"Dong dong dong!"
Sun Lianying was telling Zhang Xiufang what happened in the past few days, when there was a knock on the door.
"I'm going to open the door. It should be Lao Zhang, the driver of the unit." Sun Lianying stood up hurriedly and walked out.
What Sun Lianying didn't see through the crack in the door was the driver Zhang Junqiang.
"Brother Zhang, you came early enough!" Sun Lianying opened the door with a smile.
"Old Sun, I'll give you a quickie. I'll go home early when I'm done." Zhang Junqiang and Sun Lianying have a very good relationship, but many people in the work unit don't know about it.
The reason why I took Zhang Junqiang’s car this time was not because Zhang Junqiang’s skills were much better than others.
The main reason is that Zhang Junqiang and Sun Lianying are comrades in arms, and they have a very good relationship, so they are naturally trustworthy.
"Old Zhang, you're here, come in and have a glass of water." At this time, Zhang Xiufang also came out and invited her politely.
"My brothers and sisters are here too, so I won't stay any longer. I haven't been home for several days." Zhang Junqiang said hello to the couple and left.
This time besides Li Wen, Zhang Junqiang is the biggest winner.
In addition to the twenty kilograms of rice that Li Wen sold to Zhang Junqiang at a low price, Zhang Junqiang also earned ten kilograms of white flour and twenty kilograms of cornmeal from Li Wen, not to mention mountain products and citrus.
"Yo ho!"
“These wild beasts are all good stuff!”
After returning to the room, Sun Lianying and his wife poured out the mountain goods from the small bag.
There are not many of these mountain products, only about five kilograms, but they are all real treasures, including Hericium heads, white fungus and matsutake mushrooms.
"These things are divided into two parts. You will send one to your father-in-law tomorrow, and I will give the other to my father." Sun Lianying looked at these rare mountain products and made a decision immediately.
"Well! These things are much more useful in the hands of their elders than us." Zhang Xiufang nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Wen is a guy with great energy and excellent abilities. He is a natural buyer."
Sun Lianying was impressed and told Zhang Xiufang what happened to Li Wen in the past few days.
"It seems that my father taught me well! You really can't look down on anyone when you are away from home. Who would have thought that a rural boy could have such connections and energy." Zhang Xiufang said with emotion.
It was already evening, and there were still many pedestrians on the road, but they were all in a hurry.
Li Wen walked leisurely on the street carrying more than ten kilograms of rice and tangerines, looking here and there from time to time.
After returning home, as soon as Li Wen opened the door, a man ran out from Li Hongbin's house next door.
"Brother Li, you are back. I finally hope to have you back." Li Wen turned around and saw that it was Li Hongbin's younger brother Li Hongjun.
"Brother Jun, what's the matter with you?" Li Wen looked at Li Hongjun doubtfully.
"Go in and talk, go in and talk!" Li Hongjun hurriedly pulled Li Wen back to the yard.
"Xiao Wen, it's about the antiques we were talking about a few days ago!" Li Hongjun said anxiously.
"So that's what happened! Brother Jun, please go over and call Brother Li and bring your things over. I'll pack them up first." Li Wen saw Li Hongjun's anxious look and didn't continue to worry about it.
"Brother, please wait for a moment. I'll go back and get my things."
When Li Hongjun saw Li Wen say this, he immediately became excited and ran out of Li Wen's house.
Li Wen closed the door and returned to his room. He didn't come back for a few days. A layer of tung tree leaves had fallen in the yard, making it look a little desolate.
"This house still needs to be popular!" Li Wen turned on the light in the yard, picked up the broom and began to sweep up the fallen leaves.
After stuffing all the fallen leaves into the kang hole, Li Wen took some sawdust and straw and lit them.
As soon as the kang was lit, two brothers, Li Hongbin, walked in carrying a basket.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my spirits have improved a lot." Li Hongbin said with a smile when he walked in.
"Brother, let's go, let's sit in the room. It's getting a bit cold at night." Li Wen waved his hand and led the two of them into the room.
"Brother, how's it going? In terms of price, does your friend have any questions?" After sitting down, Li Hongbin asked with a smile.
"Just calculate it according to the price I offered. Brother, please take out the things and I'll take a look at them. It's no problem. Let's trade directly today." Li Wen nodded and said.
"Brother, my family really has no money. We have collected four things in the past few days. Can you take a look at it?" Li Hongjun asked with a smile.
Li Hongbin on the side did not speak, but carefully took things from the basket.
