Chapter 184 Successfully bought bricks

"Okay! Deal! I'll go and arrange it for you right away! Follow me after get off work later! Let's talk about food when we get home!" Director Bai said hurriedly and went out to make arrangements.

Where can I find such a good thing? Rice at 20 cents a catty is still a little more expensive than the grain station, but people don’t need food stamps, and the grain station can’t just buy it at will, and the supply is limited even if you need food stamps.

His mother is old and needs more supplements, and there is a two-year-old daughter at home who also needs fine grains.

He has been a sales director for so many years, and he still has some savings in his hand.

After a while, he had already arranged everything. The brick kiln first fired the 50,000 bricks Lin Xue wanted.

After finishing everything, Director Bai brought Lin Xue and Zhang Yuan home when he got off work at noon.

Chaoyang Commune also belongs to Pingyang Town, but the Chaoyang Brigade has a supply and marketing cooperative, a grain station, and Xiaoxue. In later generations, it is equivalent to a small town. Director Bai’s home is in a residential area not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.

The house is not new, but it is not dilapidated either. There is a small yard surrounded by brick walls.

The sales director of the brick factory is really not for nothing. He lives in a brick house with brick walls and even a hut made of bricks.

Compared with Lin Xue’s house, it’s just the East and West Wings.

As soon as Director Bai entered the yard, his wife ran out, and there were noisy children arguing in the house.

"Old Bai, you are back! Huh, who are these two?" Aunt Bai looked at Lin Xue and Lin Xue suspiciously after she finished speaking.

"Aunt Bai, just call me Xiaoxue, this is my partner Zhang Yuan!" Lin Xue took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Oh! Comrade Xiaoxue, Comrade Zhang Yuan! Come in!"

Although she is a housewife, she has long been used to having guests at home.

Quickly greeted them to enter the door.

Director Bai also politely let the two of them in.

"Old Bai! Who is this? He is so well dressed!" Aunt Bai walked behind the two and asked Director Bai in a low voice.

"Guests! Treat yourself well! Are you cooking?" Director Bai also whispered.

"It's done, it's done! But I have to add more, I only made what our family eats!" Aunt Bai said distressedly.

"Go and make some more! Don't feel bad about the food!" Director Bai instructed.

Joke, he will have food soon, what are you afraid of.

Both Lin Xue and Zhang Yuan heard what the two of them said, but they remained calm.

At first, they didn't want to eat at other people's homes. First, food was scarce at this time, and they knew they were reluctant to part with them. Second, neither of them wanted to eat at strangers' homes.

So they're going to finish talking and leave.

So Lin Xue turned around, "Director Bai, Aunt Bai, don't bother, we still have something to do, and we will go back after we finish talking in a while!"

"Why are you in a hurry? Let's go after dinner!" Director Bai said humanely.

"No Director Bai, something really happened! You should hurry up and talk about it!" Zhang Yuan refused.

Along the way, this little girl talked a lot, and the young man basically didn't say anything, but now he didn't say no to her, and Director Bai also stopped thinking about staying.

"I'll get you a glass of water for that line!" Aunt Bai was very happy, and immediately turned around and ran to pour water.

Several people ignored her, Director Bai led her into the house.

As soon as I entered, there were five or six uneven children making noise, some of them were still crying.

As soon as she saw Director Bai, one of the youngest little girls immediately ran forward, crying, pointing at her brothers and sisters with her little finger to complain.

But Lin Xue didn't understand what he said.

She took out half a catty of paper wrapped candy from her satchel and handed it to the little girl.

"Little sister, my sister gave you candy, don't cry, okay?"

The little girl looked at her father, and when she saw her father nodding, she burst into laughter immediately, and ran to her brothers and sisters to share the food with the candy in her arms.

Lin Xue shook her head and smiled, the world of children is like this, there is no hatred, and once you cry, you will forget it when you turn your head.

"Let's go, let's sit over there! There are so many children, it's just like this, it's noisy!" Director Bai led them to sit on the sofa, and said helplessly.

"Our family also has a lot of younger brothers and sisters, children are like this!" Lin Xue smiled and sat down together, and Zhang Yuan immediately sat next to her.

It’s not that Zhang Yuan doesn’t want to talk, it’s just that he really doesn’t know how to greet others, and when he doesn’t speak, he gives people a feeling that strangers are not close.

"Comrade Xiaoxue, what you said before, you can sell me rice, how much can you sell me?" Director Bai cut to the chase, he has been thinking about things all morning.

It was so uncomfortable to scratch his heart and liver. He guessed and guessed, but he couldn't guess how much the other party could sell him.

In his satchel there were still cigarettes and alcohol given by two people, but he forgot about it when he came back, and was only thinking about food.

As soon as he finished asking, Aunt Bai also came in, put down the quilt for the two of them, and sat next to Director Bai.

Just now she heard something about food, and she was looking at the two of them curiously.

"To be honest, the food in our hands is at a high price, but Director Bai can help us jump in the queue, and it is not easy for us to charge you at the black market price, but in this way, the food that can be sold to you It can't be too much, so let's do it! Five hundred catties! What do you think?" Lin Xue stretched out five fingers.

In her opinion, it is not a problem to take out a thousand catties for doing her such a big favor, but she is afraid that it will be too conspicuous, so she can only pinch half of it and say five hundred catties.

"Five...five hundred catties? Rice?" Aunt Bai couldn't calm down. She couldn't sleep if she could buy five catties of rice. What kind of concept is that?

Director Bai's eyes widened too, and he simply forgot to respond.

He originally thought that it would be good to have a child who was twenty or thirty catties more than fifty or sixty catties, but he didn't expect these two children to be so powerful, and they actually weighed five hundred catties when they opened their mouths.

Looking at the reactions of the two of them, Lin Xue knew that she had said too much, and it was too much.

She also calculated that there are so many people in her family, and she would have to eat 500 catties a year before she sold them 500 catties.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, this little girl still doesn't understand the importance of food now, it is something more precious than gold.

She weighed 500 catties when she opened her mouth. Can people not be surprised?

"Director Bai, is there any embarrassment? I mean, within five hundred catties, you can buy as much as you want! It doesn't have to be five hundred catties!" Lin Xue said.

"No... no, I'll buy it, I'll buy five hundred catties!" Director Bai immediately interjected after hearing Lin Xue's words, speaking quickly.

It's like being afraid that the other party will return.

"Old Bai! How can there be so much money at home?" Aunt Bai heard that it would be cheaper, but she knew that it would cost one yuan and five catties on the black market. How much cheaper can they be? If it is 50 cents cheaper, it will cost 500 yuan! The sum of all the savings in the family is only so much, and I took it out to buy rice all at once, and the children will have a headache when they go to school, but what should I do? They built such a house and lived separately, and they almost used up their savings.

"Don't interrupt! Listen quietly!" Director Bai said to his daughter-in-law, then turned around and repeated to Lin Xue, "I'll buy five hundred catties!"
