Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 40

When Xu Nannan arrived on the black market, there were not many people selling things. Many people came from the countryside. They called in early and sold out, and they could rush back that day.

When Xu Nannan came with two sackcloth bags, several people stared at her bag, wanting to know what it was immediately.

Xu Nannan opened the mouth of the bag to reveal the flour and eggs inside.

The flour was white and white, and the eyes of the stingers were bright.

Almost at the same time, several people walked to Xu Nannan's booth.

"Comrade, why do you sell flour?" The one who was talking was an old aunt with a thin face but staring straight at the flour.

"Eggs, how do you sell them?" a young woman said.

"How much is the flour? If it's appropriate, I'll want it all." The middle-aged man wearing glasses said excitedly.

Flour and eggs are not only grains, but also fine grains with high nutritional value.

It's been a long time since the children in the family had a meal of fine food. They brought a meal back from the cafeteria, and the children could eat it.

The food in the canteen is also quantitative, and they are not like the Nanjiang Iron Mine. As long as the county town comes with grain, it will first be supplied to the iron mine.

Adults can deal with cornmeal dried sweet potatoes, but children can't do that. Since the famine in the past two years, the child is still swollen. It's all caused by malnutrition.

Hearing that the middle-aged man wants it all, others are unhappy, "No, just this order, you want it all, what else will do. How can you be so selfish." The old aunt objected.

Xu Nannan didn't expect fine grains to be so popular. She was worried that people would rather buy more cheap coarse grains to eat.

It seems that the market situation is not understood enough. No matter what, when the business comes, you can't push it out.

"Don't fight, there is still food, I will try first, if you want more, I will come over tomorrow. I have food in my hometown."

The old aunt was not in a hurry, and asked, "Little comrade, how do you sell the flour? Is there anything else? Is there any noodles?" She asked, her eyes already staring at the flour on Xu Nannan's side. Thinking about it, go back and roll out the noodles by yourself. The little grandson has been screaming for a long time.

"Flour is 70 cents a catty. Eggs are 2 cents a cat." Xu Nannan said, "Five-liang food stamps for flour are enough. Eggs don't need food stamps."

Xu Nannan knew about the price. The price of 30 cents per catty in the supply and marketing cooperatives is generally several times more expensive on the black market than in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Xu Nannan didn't want to be too tricky either. The price is just right.

Sure enough, as soon as the price opened, the eyes of several people brightened, and their eyes became more eager when looking at the flour. Even the people who were only going to sell eggs regretted not being able to bring more food stamps and money with them. He simply said, "Bring me ten eggs, plus five kilograms of flour. When will you come tomorrow, I will come to you."

"I want half of this. You call me, and I will give you money and food stamps right away." The middle-aged man said.

The old aunt is not polite, and directly pays, "Give me ten catties of flour first."

After the three talents finished speaking, someone came around again.

After knowing the price, more people wanted to buy immediately.

Xu Nannan said in a hurry.

In a short while, everything was sold out, and even two linen bags were bought.

She got fifty eggs in total, sold them all, and made ten dollars. In addition, the flour was only 60 kilograms and sold for 35 yuan.

This trip made forty-five yuan, which is equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary worker.

Xu Nannan took the money in his arms and hurried back to the mine to go to work. Worried that someone would follow, she deliberately turned aside.

After finishing the evening, Xu Nannan also went to the evening school.

Xu Xiaoman also had Zhu Fang help watching. Zhu Fang heard that Xu Nannan reported to night school to study accounting, and felt that she was very motivated and very supportive.

The accounting at this time was still very different from the later ones, and there was a big difference in the textbooks, but fortunately, the changes were ignored. When she took the accountant exam in her previous life, she was quite solid in her studies, so she would understand it very well after listening to the teacher.

Most of the people who come to school in class are young people. Xu Nannan is the youngest inside. Generally, her age is either studying in a formal secondary school, or she is not in a hurry for further studies.

Although I understood everything, Xu Nannan was still very serious in class. She wrote down everything the teacher said in her notes. After class, I still ask the teacher to ask questions.

The teacher is an elderly aunt who wears reading glasses and is more serious.

Not many people approached her to ask questions in get out of class, and Xu Nannan asked her to ask questions after class. She was still a little surprised. Let's take a look at this student's young age, but his attitude is very good. And the notes are also very neat. This learning attitude immediately made the teacher feel good.

Xu Nannan asked the teacher as many questions as possible. The question is very detailed.

After all, she is a transfer student, and she didn't take any previous courses. At the end of the semester, she wanted to get a one-time exam and get her diploma in advance. So no matter what you understand or don’t understand, ask again. In the future, her transfer student has passed the exam at one time, and others will not find it strange. It will only be because she has a good attitude and is smarter.

The accounting teacher soon, like Teacher He, realized that the child in front of him was a man of work.

A student who transfers to the class, she just talks about the knowledge that she hasn't learned before, and the student will be able to master it. She has taught accounting classes for so many years, and she has met many students. It is really rare to have such a strong learning ability.

No matter when, teachers like smart students. Especially the kind of students who know how to speak.

After answering Xu Nannan's doubts, the accounting teacher encouraged her by the way to go to college.

At her age, if you calm down and study for a year or two, it will definitely be no problem to enter the university.

Although the academic qualifications of technical secondary schools are not low, I can also work as an officer in the mine. But if it is a college student, then it will be national.

At this time, college students are basically arranged to work in government units, and the worst can also find a cadre position in the mine. This student can work in the mine, and the political review will definitely be fine. When the time comes, the mine will recommend it. If you have good grades, you will definitely be able to pass the exam.

The accounting teacher had a good idea, but Xu Nannan never thought about going to college. But she didn't say it directly. University is like a dragon gate to everyone, who is not happy to have the opportunity to jump into the dragon gate. If she tells others that she doesn't want to go to university, they will definitely think that she has a brain problem.

The people in the mine knew about Xu Nannan's evening school.

This matter was still spread by Jiang Lili.

The news first spread in the kitchen. After learning about Xu Nannan's evening school, Jiang Lili ran into the canteen excitedly and talked to the workers in the canteen.

Look, how nice you are to Xu Nannan, but they went to night school. This is to betray the cafeteria.

If Xu Nannan left the kitchen, Jiang Lili would be the happiest. She was just for Xu Nannan's position before, so it was not pleasing to see Xu Nannan everywhere.

But after several confrontations with Xu Nannan later, she didn't lose her advantage, but was ridiculed by others, she looked at Xu Nannan not pleasing to her eyes everywhere. Even if Xu Nannan is going to night school now, she may be leaving the kitchen, she also thinks Xu Nannan is not pleasing to her eyes, and wants to find a way to make her life difficult.

When Master Da Du asked about Xu Nannan, Xu Nannan did not hide it, but admitted directly.

She couldn't deny this kind of thing, and she didn't want to go to school secretly.

"I didn't have much chance to study in the village before, and now I come to mine, I also want to learn more knowledge." Xu Nannan said.

Before Master Da Du spoke, Jiang Lili sneered and said, "Huh, it's so nice, I have come to work in the kitchen, do I still need to learn knowledge? Just learn to cook well. You are obviously leaving our kitchen. You see, She is a traitor!"

"Jiang Lili, you are wrong. Who says that people in our cafeteria can't learn knowledge? You think people in our cafeteria can only take spoons."

Some people are unhappy when they hear this. Even if they work in the canteen, they are very honorable. I cook, I am honorable. Does cooking mean ignorance? Who said that, call it out, I promise not to kill him!

Xu Nannan said, "I don’t keep everyone from you, I do have this idea. I want to learn knowledge, and I want to take a formal job test in the future. It doesn’t matter where I work, but I want to get a regular job. There are so many cafeteria establishments. I want to get a regular job in the future. If I am recruiting workers in the mine, I must sign up. I know I'm sorry for everyone's trust in me. I'm sorry, everyone."

After speaking, she bent over to everyone.

"What are you doing?" Aunt Liao who was close to her hurriedly stopped her.

Master Da Du, with his hands on his back, with a big belly, looked at Xu Nannan expressionlessly, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you work in the cafeteria, and you know how we all treat you. Because of what, because we think you are smart. You can become a talent in the future."

Master Da Du said in a more serious tone. Others also looked at Xu Nannan nervously.

If Master Da Du doesn't like Xu Nannan in the future, and wants to target her, he will leave the dirty work in the cafeteria to Xu Nannan in the future, and no one can say anything.

Jiang Lili smiled at Xu Nannan while gloating.

Traitor, deserve it!

Xu Nannan did not continue to explain. The people in the cafeteria treat her very well, and she knows it herself. But it was impossible for her to change her mind.

She doesn't care at most to work more in the future. She used to mow hogweed in the village and went in the wind and rain, but she still persisted.

"Papa--" Master Da Du slapped the table.

The others were taken aback.

"Hahahaha, that’s great, we didn’t misunderstand the wrong person. Comrade Xu Nannan is really an individual. Even if he works in the cafeteria, he has not forgotten to learn knowledge and become a literati in the future. Who would dare to say that we are a big man in the future? The people in the cafeteria are uneducated and only take spoons. Nan Nan can give us a face."

Master Da Du's belly was shy, and his smiling double chins came out.

This was a shock. The people in the cafeteria didn't react for a long time. After he finished speaking, everyone clapped loudly.

"Nannan, good job, study hard." Someone encouraged him.

"That's right, it's a good thing to learn knowledge. Looking at those clerical officers who are so bullish, don't they have a bit of academic qualifications, Nannan also went to take the test. The people in our cafeteria are not ignorant, as long as they go for the test, they can still be clerks. Those clerks may not be able to do the work of the big canteen." Aunt Liao also laughed.

Xu Nannan looked at everyone's encouraging eyes, and Jiang Lili's face that changed color angrily, and almost didn't cry. moved!

Xu Nannan is still very cautious about this era. This has something to do with her own personality, and she has always felt that this era is very dangerous, so she has never been too convinced by everyone.

Even just now, she didn't think the people in the cafeteria would forgive her.

As a result, everyone supported her so much. She didn't feel that her idea of ​​leaving the cafeteria was a betrayal.

"Master Da Du, she is a traitor!" Jiang Lili said excitedly.

"What a traitor." Master Da Du squinted at her, "Speaking of small things, they all work for our mines, and talking about the big ones, they all work for socialism. Where are the traitors?"

Xu Nannan squinted and smiled happily. "Master Da Du is right. No matter where I am, I work for our big family. No matter what I do, I will work hard like in a cafeteria." Jiang Lili, "Comrade Jiang Lili, your thinking is too narrow, which is not good. Small group thinking is very bad, and it will affect social harmony."
