Chapter 17 Dad, I will help you save money to marry a wife

"Let's go, go to the restaurant, I'll treat you."

Li Dong is not familiar with this state-owned hotel, but Huang Yingnan led the way to a state-owned hotel. This year, the state-owned hotels were almost the same, and the signboard was quite large.

There are not many people going to go to restaurants today, after all, no family has so much spare money to come to restaurants these days. When they come to relatives or friends, the little girl likes it, and the young man loves face to go to restaurants.

Ordinary people can brag about the restaurant for half a year next time. Li Dong looked at it and there was no warning sign that was not allowed to beat and scold customers. I think it would be that there shouldn't be a frequent call here, so why would you be sure to set up a sign?

The two of them came to the hotel. There were no recipes in this era. They looked at what they wanted to eat. There were foods served today on the small blackboard. If you want to order food, you would like to read the blackboard or the dishes hanging on it.

"Comrade, do you have meat buns today?"

"It's gone."

The girl sitting behind the ticket counter raised her eyes impatiently and looked at Huang Yingnan. She couldn't read, these people were so annoying.

"What's there today?"

"I don't know how to watch it myself."

OK, this attitude, Li Dongxin said, is indeed arrogant enough, but it’s not a big deal. These days, these days, they are all the same, the salary is so high, there is no gold medal. As for complaints, there is no place to complain at this time.

Or you will suffer, or you will get out, as long as you don’t cause any death, you will be afraid of you, Huang Yingnan didn’t realize that there was any problem with this service attitude. She looked at the small blackboard and turned around and told Li Dong.

"There are no big meat buns, only dumplings."

"Let's have something else."

Li Dong glanced at it and there were still many things. "Come a piece of pork slicing, then a slice of tofu, then a braised eggplant, and then a meatball soup."

"Get another half a pound of dumplings."

“Invoice.”

The master, who was a little unhappy just now, also showed a hint of surprise. Good guy, you need two dollars to make money. The pork slices are 60 cents, the tofu slices are 30 cents, the eggplant is 20 cents, the meatball soup is 50 cents, and the half pound of dumplings is 60 cents.

Two yuan and four cents, three kilograms of food coupons, Li Dong’s meal coupons were not that much of this thing himself. “That comrade has food coupons, so I’ll exchange cloth coupons for some.”

These days, cloth tickets are more expensive than food coupons. Many people only have three feet of cloth tickets a year. Li Dong exchanged cloth tickets for food coupons, so he handed them to the waiter who sat to issue the invoice, two yuan, four cents and three pounds of food coupons.

Now the customers in the entire restaurant were shocked. They would probably eat at least two taels of dumplings, and two or three cents were considered a luxury. Or ordering one rice or more than two cents of vegetables would be envious to outsiders.

There was nowhere where Li Dong came up and he had just started meat and vegetables. He ordered several more. Huang Ying and his eyes were glowing, and his saliva was almost flowing down. The meat was better than big meat buns.

“Isn’t it too much?”

With a slap, Huang Yingnan couldn't help but saliva, and Li Donghao waved his hand. "No more, not more, eat more later."

Not to mention Li Dong's arrogant attitude, the waiter actually brought the dishes for the first time, and Li Dong and Huang Yingnan did not go to serve the dishes.

With three dishes, one soup and two large plates of dumplings, Huang Yingnan's eyes were shining. He was so polite. Li Dong seemed to have rebelled since he came to 1978.

Although most of the service in state-owned hotels is not very good, the dish is really real. I haven’t had enough of it in this era. The meatballs taste pretty good, and the meatballs are even more delicious. Li Dong and Huang Yingnan are busy eating and drinking.

There was a sound of saliva from time to time around, and the two of them were eating vigorously. Good guy, in a while, three dishes, one soup and half a pound of dumplings. This half a pound of dumplings is different from the half a pound of dumplings in later generations. In this year, it was calculated based on the weight of flour. That was the dumpling made from half a pound of flour. Generally, one or six large dumplings are included.

Half a pound, more than 30 large meat dumplings, all of them were wiped out, and three dishes and one soup was left without any left. Li Dong glanced at Huang Yingnan. What a good guy ate more than himself. I really don’t know why a cute girl could eat so much.

This belly is a bottomless pit, who can raise it? Li Dongxin said, "Are you full?"

"It's full, it tastes so good."

"Thank you, I haven't had such delicious food in a long time."

"I should thank you. I don't know what to do without your help." Li Dong took out a dollar and handed it to Huang Yingnan. "Not much, a little hard work."

"Ah, how can you be so embarrassed?" He said that Huang Yingnan took the money and stuffed it into her pocket, which made Li Dong a little stunned. You won't refuse. Isn't it too real?

That’s great. Huang Yingnan liked her for taking the risk today. She made a lot of money. She had a big meal and had money to get. She really had a great fortune.

The two of them are not very close friends, Huang Yingnan will not pretend to be polite. Li Dong nodded and stood up when he saw Huang Yingnan taking the money.

"Well, I'm leaving a little bit ahead of time." Li Dong quickly left the state-owned hotel with a turtle and a package in his arms. Just now he found a few young people staring at his package. It's not peaceful these days. When he left, he gave Huang Yingnan a wink, and Huang Yingnan nodded and knew it.

Huang Yingnan watched Li Dong walk away, turned to the cinema and changed into a flower shirt, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the textile factory. After a while, he took eight dollars and a pound of grain and hummed a song and walked towards Jiangkou Commune.

"I haven't been to see Xiaojuan for a long time. I just happened to have money. I will bring two bottles of canned food to see Xiaojuan in a few days."

Li Dong walked around and avoided the young people, went to the alley to change into a dress and put on Korean rich patched clothes.

"Huang Yingnan doesn't know if it's a real name. Forget it, I'm not sorry for her anyway, so I even gave her a shirt." Li Dong grabbed the package and walked towards the department store. I wonder if there was any good wine to buy two bottles. By the way, there were also cloth tickets to buy some cloth. After a few days, Xiaojuan would have to make a thick dress when she went to school and it was still quite cold sooner or later.

There are also stationery and schoolbags, and Li Dong plans to prepare them for her.

"Running?"

At the state-owned hotel, several young people who were staring at Li Dong gathered at the door of the state-owned hotel. Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I wanted to have a good meal, but I didn't expect that I ran very quickly."

"Where is that woman?"

"The woman went to the textile factory. There was a guy in the security department over there. I didn't dare to get too close, but I knew that there would be no shadow in the blink of an eye." A young man, who looked like a thin monkey, looked depressed.

Li Dong looked depressed at the department store. There was no Moutai. Thinking about the three revolutions, he hadn't drunk it yet, and he planned to get two bottles to drink. Who knew that Chi County did not have it.

But this is not difficult to understand. Moutai is rare, and there are eight bottles, so few people in Chixian can afford to drink it.

The 80 cents per pound of loose wine is not fragrant, and the Gujinggong wine is also good and the price is much cheaper than Moutai.

"Let's go back to the regional administration. If you can get a few bottles back and place them in the farm, it's quite embarrassing."

Li Dong packed out of the department store with a canvas serving the people, carrying a package of cloth in one hand and half a pound of cake in the other.

"Go and buy half a pound of meat and go back to the village." Li Dong hummed a small song and went to the meat stall to buy half a pound of meat. There was no so-called good meat and only some scraps left. This is considered Li Dong's luck. The scraps are usually sold out.

"There are many lean meats, and the pork ribs are good. Just half of the meat tickets are worth two cents." Li Dong happily got more than pounds of meat, mostly lean meat and pork ribs. He was so lucky. Fat meat is the most popular now. No one likes to buy thin meat or pork ribs. He finally got a meat ticket. If you don't buy more fat meat to satisfy your cravings, you won't be stupid if you don't buy these.

After waiting for a while, the uncle drove the carriage finally arrived, and there were still many people. Li Dong saw that there was an old lady next to the old man in the morning and thought it was his wife. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the commune in the carriage.

Li Dong didn't delay it. The daytime was not necessarily peaceful. Who knows what it was dark? Not to mention anything else, there might be wild boars in the mountains. I don't want to catch wild boars, although I love to eat pork.

Li Dong walked for more than an hour and was very tired. This was because he was in good health recently.

"Xiaojuan, Xiaojuan, your dad is back."

"I brought too many things." The little kids were full of envy Xiaojuan.

"Dad is back." Xiaojuan ran away as soon as she threw the bamboo basket in her hand.

A group of children saw Li Dong from a distance from Zhuangzikou. They said that Li Dong is now the most popular person in Hanzhuang. No matter what adults say, this person is lazy and can't live, but the children like it.

As long as you do something for Li Dong, you either give a piece of milk candy or a piece of meat. If the child has something to eat, then he will care about the others.

Li Dong had big bags, especially when he saw meat and cakes. The children were all straight and saliva was drooling.

"Uncle, what good things did you buy when you went to the city?"

"I didn't have anything to buy some meat and cakes for Xiaojuan."

For a moment, the whole village knew that Li Dong had returned from buying meat and cakes from the city.

Some old people didn’t hear about cakes and things, but the children didn’t understand them, just asked Li Dong, what Li Dong said.

The rich Korean family had just finished work and heard their grandson shouting that Li Dong had returned from the city and bought a lot of meat and some cakes.

Many people are going to watch the fun now, and some are curious about what good things to eat in Li Dong’s relatives’ house in the city, and what good things this relative gives Li Dong.

"Uncle Guofu, you are here."

Li Dong put all the things on the bed, pork, and half a pound of cake, which made the Korean rich man's eyelids twitch. Who is this? He is still alive. But the Korean rich man doesn't believe it anymore, and Li Dong's relatives bring these to Li Dong.

Sure enough, when Li Dong bought it himself, his relatives gave him some cloth and thirty dollars, and surrounded the villagers to watch the fun. When he heard that, he said, "How much cloth is it?"

"Not too much, not too much, only seven or eight feet of fabric, only enough to make Xiaojuan a half set of clothes."

Li Dong looked a little disgusted, and the others were sucking the air conditioner when they heard it. This cloth ticket was very rare. I never thought that Li Dong had so many. When he opened the twill cloth, he saw it. It was a very cloth. "This cloth is thick, not cheap."

"It's done."

Li Dong said with an indifferent look on his face. "The department store can't sell more than 400 cents."

"What a guy, one foot and four cents, it's twice as expensive as jerseys."

"That's, such a thick cloth, wear-resistant."

The adults looked at the good fabric, especially the women who were jealous, and they felt a little sorry. Xiaojuan was older and what clothes did the child make?

The children were envious. Xiaojuan just bought new clothes and now she has to make clothes again.

Xiaojuan folded all the fabrics at once, and said something that made a group of old and young nodded, but made Li Dong squirt. "I have new clothes, so I can keep this cloth for my father to get new clothes."

"What?"

"Dad, give me the money, I will save it for you to get married, and you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately."

As he said that, he wanted to take out Li Dong's money. Li Dong sprayed a mouthful of water. What's the point? Getting a wife, who to marry a wife? Li Dong was stunned and joked. His daughter said she would save money to marry a wife for me. She heard that she had heard it right.

"Xiaojuan is really sensible."

"It's not so good. There should be a wife in charge of this kid." Several old men looked at the meat and cake on the chopping board and shook their heads. Old expensive things can be exchanged for food for several days. They really don't live.

"That's the case, Li Dong, after the autumn harvest, everyone is free to repair your house. I'll help you see a lot of famine escapes this year. I'll let everyone pay attention to you and find a good girl who can live a good life."
