Chapter 631 What's yours is ours, and what's mine is still mine
Not long after, Li Kailang ran back to the yard.

"I took off my sweat-soaked cloak and gasped: Phew~ I should be fine now."

"I was so scared that the police came so early. Luckily, they had their guys on duty outside, otherwise it would have been terrible."

It's not that scary, but it's a little thrilling. It's okay to have this experience once in a while, but no one can stand it if it happens every day.

"I hope you can get away. If you get caught, you can only wish for the best."

"Fortunately, I don't know them, otherwise if they had betrayed me, I would have been in trouble."

"After such an incident, I can rest assured until the New Year. I can finally have a good New Year."

After taking a break, Li Kailang went straight to the bathtub to take a good soak.

Li Kailang didn't care about the loss tonight.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and thousands of kilograms of meat were nothing to Li Kailang. The loss was only about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, which was nothing.

I was already prepared to give it away for free.

The next day.

"What? The black market was shut down?! Those grain merchants were arrested!"

"Oh, what a pity! I haven't bought enough meat yet. How come they were caught so quickly?"

"No, if we arrest the grain merchants, where can I buy meat? The supply and marketing cooperative only has so much meat, how can it be enough for us to eat!"

Early in the morning, when everyone heard the news that the grain merchant had been arrested, they beat their chests and sighed.

"What a pity! I hope those grain merchants can escape unscathed and nothing will happen to them. I'm still thinking of buying more."

"Don't even think about it. They've been arrested. They must be hiding now. I knew before the New Year that they would not come out."

"I don't know how many grain merchants have been arrested. It would be better to arrest fewer. Without them, where can we buy meat and grain?"

Everyone spoke up for the grain merchants.

Zhang San and others would never have imagined that one day they would be expected to be safe.

It’s a pity that some people are already in prison and this wish cannot be realized.

"Alright, alright, it's too late to say anything now. You've been gone for so many days, so you must have stored a lot of meat at home, right?"

"No way, one pound is not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

No family can tell the truth about how much meat they have saved, and no family has enough to eat. If everyone knew that they bought too much meat, they would have to come and borrow meat from others.

At that time, should I lend it or not?

"Alas, there is no meat."

After hearing the sad news early in the morning, many people lost their energy and worked in a daze.

Fortunately, it is near the end of the year and there is not much to do, so it does not affect my work.

Scrap yard.

"Squeak~"

"If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the explanation first."

"Phew, it's finally done."

In the repair room, Bai Xiuwen looked at the radio in front of him. After almost a month of repair work, he finally fixed this most broken radio.

pat.

Bai Xiuwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned it off.

"Uncle San wants it, but I wonder how much is the appropriate price?"

It was different from selling it to Cui Yuan, who knew how to repair it, so Bai Xiuwen only offered the cost price. But it was different for Yan Bugui.

I have to find it for him and repair it. The most important thing is that there is not a single broken radio this month.

Although he is a third uncle, we should keep things separate.

I glanced at the sky outside and realized that it was already evening.

"Get off work."

After packing up, Bai Xiuwen rode his bicycle with a radio in the front basket.

He was looked at with envy by everyone along the way. Some even acted as matchmakers, asking him if he was married or had a partner. But he could not introduce anyone.

In response to everyone's questions, Bai Xiuwen smiled and said nothing, then rode his bike back to the yard.

"Oh, what a pity. Such a good young man."

"Yes, if it doesn't work, I'll go ask the matchmaker to see if I can find him. He's a rich son-in-law."

The market is not good, but it is much easier to get married now.

After returning to the yard, Bai Xiuwen pushed the cart straight to Yan Bugui's house.

"Uncle, are you home?"

"Ah, I'm here."

Yan Bugui shouted and walked out of the house, and saw the radio on the basket at a glance.

Suddenly, his face was full of disbelief, and he wiped his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken.

"Xiao Bai, this... is this a radio for me?"

Bai Xiuwen nodded and joked, "That's right, Third Uncle, didn't you keep asking for it? Why don't you believe it after seeing it? Don't you want it?"

"If you don't want it, I can take it away. It's not cheap."

After saying this, Bai Xiuwen pretended to push the cart and left.

"Hey hey hey~" Yan Bugui rushed forward in an instant and stopped him.

Then, with lightning speed, he took the radio away.

"Oh my~ Oh my~" Looking at the radio, Yan Bugui liked it more and more. He touched it here and there, finding everything new to him.

When you sniff it gently, it smells quite nice, with a peculiar fragrance.

The fragrant aroma intoxicated him.

Bai Xiuwen couldn't help but show some disgust, muttering in his heart: "Is this smell really that good? Why don't I think it smells that good? Third uncle has a unique habit."

Yan Bugui had no idea that Bai Xiuwen was whispering to him in his heart. Was he smelling something? He was feeling the fresh air brought by beautiful things.

After sniffing for a long time, Yan Bugui finally stopped and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Xiaobai, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Bai Xiuwen smiled and replied, "No, no, it's all agreed upon. I'm actually a little embarrassed that it took so long."

"Well, it's not your fault. This radio is hard to get. It's good to be able to get it. Time is not a problem."

After some pleasantries, Yan Bugui finally got to the point.

"Xiao Bai, how much is this radio? I'll give it to you now."

Bai Xiuwen had already thought about the price of the radio and simply held up five fingers.

"5 dollars? It's so cheap, I'll take the money right away."

Listening to Yan Bugui's wishful words, Bai Xiuwen couldn't help but praise his plan.

"Uncle, it's not 5 yuan, it's 50 yuan."

"50? So expensive!" Yan Bugui was shocked. He never expected it to be this price. He thought it could be just a dozen yuan.

Bai Xiuwen was angry instead.

"Expensive? Uncle, this is a radio. It's a big item. You can't buy a radio without a ticket."

"Go to the black market and ask how much a ticket costs. You can't get one without several dozen. Buying a radio will cost another 100 or 200."

"This is almost 200 yuan. Uncle, this is not the way to bargain."

"This is because we are neighbors and we're getting a discount. Otherwise, I might not even sell it for a hundred."

Bai Xiuwen was speechless. It was fine if he didn't pay the deposit, but he still wanted to get it for free? Who would he give away for just 5 yuan?

This is true, but Yan Bugui still wanted to bargain: "But wasn't this broken originally? How can a new one be compared with an old and broken one?"

When saying this, Yan Bugui was obviously feeling guilty, but he still said it.

For the money not to be shabby.

"Uncle, you can't say that. This radio was old and broken, but I fixed it. It's different now."

"Besides, if you had money and tickets, why would you ask me to get a radio and fix it? You are disrespecting the fruits of my labor."

"Well, I don't think the Third Master really wants it, so I'll just sell the radio to someone else. It's in short supply right now."

After saying that, Bai Xiuwen reached out to take the radio from Yan Bugui.

But Yan Bugui dodged it by turning sideways.

"Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

Yan Bugui looked at the radio reluctantly: "Xiao Bai, let's talk it over."

Bai Xiuwen said patiently, "Okay, Third Uncle, how do you want to discuss this?"

Seeing that there was still room for negotiation, Yan Bugui naturally fought for every penny: "Xiaobai, I know you work hard, and you also know that Uncle San has a family to support, so he really doesn't have that much money." "Well, for the sake of our being neighbors, why don't you charge less and give Uncle San a little face, just 25 yuan?"

Wow, at first it was 1% off, now it’s 5% off, who does business like this?

Suddenly, Xu Damao's voice of watching the fun came out.

"Hey, Uncle, this is too little money, isn't it? Xiaobai, 50 yuan, right? I'll buy it!"

After saying that, Xu Damao took out the money immediately.

"Xu Damao, why are you joining in the fun? Xiaobai sold me this radio, it's none of your business."

Yan Bugui hugged the radio tightly and cursed a few words.

"Ah, Third Master, I don't like what you said. As the saying goes, the one who offers the highest price wins. You can't afford this price, but I can afford it. This is a fair deal."

"Xiaobai, don't you think so?"

Yan Bugui looked at Bai Xiuwen nervously, but he smiled and said nothing.

But in my heart I was cheering Xu Damao on and continued.

"Xu Damao, take it aside. This is what Xiaobai sold to me."

Xu Damao said sincerely: "Xiao Bai, I really want this radio. I wonder if you can sell it to me. The price is negotiable. 100 yuan is fine."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui felt a strong sense of crisis: "50 yuan is 50 yuan, I will give you the money now."

After saying that, Yan Bugui turned around and went home to get the money.

"50 yuan! It's the same price as a bicycle." Every time Yan Bugui took a piece of money, his heart felt like it was bleeding.

"Boss, why don't you just forget about it? It's quite expensive," advised the third aunt.

"What do you mean by counting? This is a big deal. Don't worry about it. I have plenty of ways to make it back."

After saying that, Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He counted the money three times to make sure that he had not counted a penny more before he went out.

"Xiaobai, it's exactly 50, please click."

"No need, I trust Third Uncle's character." Bai Xiuwen put it in his pocket without even clicking.

What a joke! It's all small change. How long will it take to count it?

Bai Xiuwen also experienced Yan Bugui's calculations firsthand. He used to watch other people have fun, but now he is the one having fun.

"Okay, this radio is yours. Oh, and here are the two batteries as a gift. If you have any problems with the radio in the future, come to me and I'll fix it for free."

As he spoke, Bai Xiuwen handed over the battery.

Yan Bugui took it with a smile: "Hey, I got two batteries for free."

"Oh, what a pity. Next time Xiaobai has a radio, please keep an eye on it for me. The price is negotiable." Xu Damao said.

"Okay." Bai Xiuwen agreed happily.

Yan Bugui looked at the radio with great joy, then looked at the third aunt: "I bought it, I bought it. Now my family is the fourth one in the yard to have a radio."

I couldn't help but put in the batteries and try the radio but it didn't work.

"Squeak~"

"Speaking of last time."

Hearing the noise coming from the radio, Yan Bugui couldn't help but punch and shout.

"Where does the sound come from?" Yan Jiecheng had just come back from get off work and saw the shining radio.

"Radio? Where did it come from?"

The third aunt listened to the sound of the radio and said happily: "I bought it from Bai Xiuwen, it cost 50 yuan."

"50 yuan? That's so much?"

"Not much, not much. We don't even need a ticket. It's much cheaper than going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy one for 200 yuan."

"50 yuan." Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but mutter to himself. He still hadn't saved 50 yuan since he started working.

Looking at this radio, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Snapped!
Yan Bugui slapped it away and said, "Don't move. It's very valuable."

"Why, I can't move. I paid for the radio."

"Your share? Where did you contribute?" Yan Bugui asked back.

Yan Jiecheng was stunned: "This is the salary I hand in every month. Isn't this the money I pay?"

Yan Bugui's face fell, and he retorted: "Is that your money? That's what you should pay. Don't forget that you bought your job with your family's money."

"The money you handed over belongs to our family. I bought this with my own money. Don't touch it, or you will have to pay for it. Even father and son should settle accounts clearly."

“Well, then.” Yan Jiecheng’s face turned pale. He stammered, not knowing how to refute, and finally could only shut up.

When the two little ones heard Yan Bugui say this, their curiosity was immediately retracted and they left without worrying about it.

They are still studying and have not made any money, so they cannot damage Yan Bugui's things.

"Boss, how does this radio make such amazing sounds?" The third aunt was still marveling at the structure of the radio.

"How would I know? Bai Xiuwen is really amazing. He made 50 yuan from a radio, which is almost equivalent to my two-month salary."

The third aunt suddenly remembered what he had just said: "By the way, old boss, how are you going to make the money back?"

Yan Bugui stretched out his fingers and explained one by one.

"This is not easy. Of course, we have to let everyone listen. You see, there is a radio in our yard, Li Kailang across the street, Cui Yuan next door, and Bai Xiuwen."

"These three people have radios at home, but they just don't play them. So I might as well take them out and play them for everyone to listen to. I can also collect some money for listening."

"It's not much more. There are more than 50 households in our yard. We can earn more than one yuan a day, and we can get our money back in days."

The third aunt listened to Yan Bugui's calculations and couldn't help but admire: "Boss, you are really amazing."

"That's right, don't you see who I am?" Yan Bugui couldn't help but feel proud.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Yan Bugui immediately went out and called everyone to come and listen to the radio.

When everyone heard about this good thing, they went out to join in the fun despite the cold weather.

The three aunts even helped move the radio to the door so that everyone could listen.

Soon, a lot of people came to the front yard. Everyone listened to the sound coming from the radio and couldn't help feeling anxious, and didn't feel that it was a bit cold outside.

"Hehe." Seeing so many people coming to show their support, Yan Bugui couldn't help but feel a little proud, and in his heart he looked down on Li Kailang and the other two who had radios.

"Such a good way to make money, but you don't use it. Young people are young people. They don't know how to make money when they are young. When they grow up, they will know how important money is."

"Uncle San is awesome. When did you buy a radio?"

"Uncle San is really great. He bought a radio without making any noise."

Many people didn't know that Yan Bugui had bought a radio, so naturally they had to say a few words when they saw this situation.

"Uncle San, your radio is amazing. We don't have anything else to play right now, why don't you play it later? It will give us some entertainment."

"Yes, as the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. Third Master, do you agree?"

Everyone said good things about it, saying that one has to find something fun to do at the end of the year, and this radio is pretty good.

"Okay, okay, I really mean it."

Yan Bugui immediately revealed his purpose: "It's just that this radio is a valuable item and it's easy to break, but since everyone wants to listen to it, I will naturally agree."

"But, I helped everyone, so I hope you can help me too. Is that okay?"

"Uncle, you said that as long as we can help, we will definitely help."

"Yes, add me in."

"Okay, I'd like to thank you all here." Yan Bugui clasped his fists in thanks: "After all, this radio is a consumable item. Every time you listen to it, it's gone."

"I bought this for everyone to listen to, so I can't lose money. I won't charge too much. I'll just charge two or three cents for each listen."

"Uncle, you still want to charge money for this."

“Yes, we are all neighbors.”

"Although we are neighbors, I didn't buy this radio with real money."

Seeing that the matter was not negotiable, everyone understood why Yan Bugui asked them to do so.

"Come on, it's very cold. I'll go to the house and warm up first."

"Ah, me too. I'm afraid I'm sick to be out in the cold wind on such a cold day."

The person in front of him was about to leave, and Yan Bugui hurriedly tried to stop him: "Hey, hey, hey, don't go, don't go, we have something to discuss."

It’s a pity that no one is a fool.

Suddenly, the front yard was empty.

It's so cold today, but I still come out in the evening to feel the cold wind. If it wasn't for the fact that you can listen to it for free, who would be sick enough to come out to feel the cold wind?

"Boss." The third aunt said softly.

"Okay, take it away." Yan Bugui was in a bad mood, but Yan Jiecheng was in a good mood.

"You always have those petty calculations that are not worthy of being mentioned. You deserve it!"
