"What are you two talking about? It's like a joint with an underground organization. It's mysterious."

Ma Jinghong pursed her lips, looking back and forth between Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang, frowning slightly, unable to understand.

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette proudly: "Fifth sister, I want to know. First, make us two cups of our dad's packet of Tieguanyin."

Ma Jinghong Danfeng stared, reached out and pinched Ma Jiefang's ears, and said angrily:

"You want to rebel? If you dare to command me, I will kill you today!"

As the force on Ma Jinghong's hand increased, Ma Jiefang grinned in pain and quickly looked at Xu Qing for help.

Xu Qing smoothed things over and said, "Sister Jinghong, nothing happened. I just borrowed some food stamps from Jiefang two days ago."

"Why did you borrow that thing?"

Ma Jinghong let go of Ma Jiefang's ears, looked at Xu Qing, suddenly stopped talking, turned and walked into the back room to make tea.

Ma Jiefang rubbed his slightly red ears, bared his teeth, and looked sad.

"Did you see that I am not enjoying my happiness? All five ladies are bullying me in every possible way."

Xu Qing didn't answer, secretly enjoying himself.

It is very common for siblings to fight and bicker.

Xu Qing reached out and took out the ticket from the right pocket of his cotton trousers. At the same time, he added a one-dollar bill and placed it on the coffee table together.

Ma Jiefang saw that the ticket was nothing, but when he saw the money, he was a little confused.

"Brother Qingzi, are you slapping me in the face?"

"Our relationship as brothers should not be so vulgar."

Xu Qing took advantage of Ma Jinghong's absence to panic and briefly explained the matter.

After all, it’s impossible to tell the real situation.

Ma Jiefang's eyes sparkled, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile:

"Brother Qingzi, you are still capable and can come up with such a way to make money. I am blind and have never thought about it."

Ma Jiefang naturally never thought about it. His parents both work, and three of his five sisters are married. The family situation is not tight, so he does not have to worry about making a living.

But Xu Qing is different. The three children in the family are all dependent on him, and he can't make it happen if he doesn't want to.

Besides, there are many people in Forty-Nine City who have money but no tickets. They don’t have to worry about food and drink, but they still want to eat something good. If they take the money and go directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives or state-owned stores to buy better things, they can’t.

To.

This gave rise to the speculative trade and the business of second-hand dealers.

The sky outside the house suddenly turned dark.

Xu Qing took a look and felt that he had been delayed for too long on the road today.

If it wasn't cold, he would only have to walk this stretch for ten minutes.

I looked back at the clock hanging on the wall of Ma Jiefang's house and realized that it was only 6:35.

However, it is winter now, it gets dark early, and the weather is cold and freezing.

Xu Qing didn't dare to stay longer. He would buy horseshoe biscuits for the three little ones on his way back later. If he stayed too late, the roadside vendors might have closed their stalls.

Xu Qing stood up, straightened his clothes and said:

"Liberation, let's talk next time, my buddy is going home first."

Xu Qing turned around and shouted again to Ma Jinghong in the back room.

"Sister Jinghong, I'm going home, see you next time!"

"You've just been here for a while and are leaving, are you in such a hurry?"

Ma Jinghong walked out carrying two white enamel tea cups.

Seeing Xu Qing about to leave, his face showed disappointment.

Ma Jiefang knew that Xu Qing missed his younger siblings at home.

Without saying anything, he stood up, wrapped himself in a military coat, and sent Xu Qing out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Ma Jinghong chased them with a white bag in her right hand.

"Take it and take it home to eat!"

Xu Qing was stunned.

Ma Jiefang was also startled. When he saw his fifth sister putting something into Xu Qing's hand, he turned around and ran back.

Ma Jiefang laughed, bumped Xu Qing's shoulder and said:

"Brother, you are not talking nonsense. My fifth sister really likes you. Look, she even gave you our free noodles."

Xu Qing didn't want it. Although life was hard, it was not to the point of needing help from others.

Besides, last night the general's ticket was exchanged with Xu Damao for five yuan and two. Although he gave Ma Jiefang one yuan, he still had four yuan and two left.

Money is no longer as tight as before.

Ma Jiefang said: "Brother Qingzi, don't refuse. Just accept it. This is my fifth sister's kindness to you. If you don't take it, I will take it back later. My fifth sister will have nothing to do with me."

!"

"What about your family?" Xu Qing was a little embarrassed. After all, life is difficult for everyone these days.

"It's okay. My fifth sister is the smartest and shrewdest among my sisters. If she can show it, nothing will happen to her."

Xu Qing was silent for a while and then had to accept it.

Because he has met all of Ma Jiefang’s five sisters.

The eldest sister is the most sensible, the second sister is the quietest, the third sister is more domineering, but the most honest, and the fourth sister is the least seen, she only went to college and is very artistic.

As for this fifth sister, Xu Qing often sees her, so she is known to be very smart. In addition, she works in a cultural troupe, and she has a very graceful figure. Even though it is winter, she is wearing a thick cotton jacket, but her exquisite curves are not covered up.

The sky is getting a little darker, the air is more chilly, and the snow on the ground is frozen solid again.

Xu Qing waved to Ma Jiefang and said:

"Go back and talk next time!"

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette and hummed, but did not turn around and go back.

"Brother Qingzi, if you want big things like radio tickets and bicycle tickets, I can get them."

They were all people who had attended high school and had sharp minds. Xu Qing knew that Ma Jiefang was interested in that matter.

Throwing the cigarette butt on the snow, Xu Qing stepped on it and said:

"If we can get it, it shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Qing has the ability to split in two, so there is no problem. As long as he has a bicycle ticket, one can become two.

When the time comes, the original notes will return to the original owner, and the separated ones will be exchanged for Xu Damao.

However, Xu Qing just couldn't decide whether Damao could swallow it.

After all, bicycle tickets are of high value, unlike food stamps, which weigh 62 kilograms for only 12.4 yuan.

There is only one bicycle ticket, which costs forty or fifty at least. If the market catches up with it, it is not impossible to get it to hundreds.

These days, it is not easy to get a bicycle ticket. How many people are frugal and have saved enough money to buy a bicycle, but they are struggling to get a bicycle ticket.

Hearing Ma Jiefang's words at this time, Xu Qing was also moved in his heart. If he really got a bicycle ticket, he would be comfortable during the New Year this year.

Not only do you not have to worry, but you can also have a good New Year with your three little ones!

General Ma Jiefang wrapped up his coat and stamped his feet:

"My cousin returned from serving in the army last year and is now assigned to work in the subdistrict office in my area.

Last month, I heard from my uncle that the street office seemed to have given him a bicycle ticket quota. I will find time to ask my cousin tomorrow. If he gets the ticket, I will lend it out."

Xu Qing nodded.

However, it was really cold today, so after standing for a while, both of their feet were numb from the cold.
Chapter completed!
