I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 21 Gold Price
On the fourth day of time travel to the Big Plum Brigade, Li Xingxing was ready to enter the city after eating the nugget soup that Li Xiuhong made early in the morning.

Li Xiuhong is naturally inseparable from her daughter as she said.

Considering that he might bring back a lot of things, Li Xiuhong hung an empty basket on the left and right of the back seat of the bicycle, and placed a dog leather cushion on the back seat.

Looking at the dark and bright Erba Daqi, Li Xingxing asked, "Mother, can you ride a bike?"

She has never ridden such a bicycle, she has only ridden the elegant and delicate Xiaokun bike.

"Of course, you can rest assured."

Li Xingxing stepped up, one leg on one side, like a child.

Li Xiuhong stepped on the pedals with one foot, passed the front bar with one foot, sat on it gently and skillfully, and rode forward steadily, but within a few minutes, the big plum brigade emerged.

The wind blows cold on the face.

However, Li Xiuhong was wearing the cashmere trousers given by her daughter in the jacket, the leather-faced sheepskin lined cotton shoes given by her daughter on her feet, the wool scarf given by her daughter on her head, and the sheepskin gloves given by her daughter on her hands. She felt warm in her heart. of.

Li Xingxing carefully observed the route.

To go to the commune, they need to climb mountains and mountains, but they don't need to enter the city, they go in the opposite direction.

Along the roads and roads, through three or four villages, and riding for about two hours, we finally arrived at our destination.

Wutong Street.

Compared with Huaihua Commune, Wutong City is a hundred times more prosperous.

The buildings alone are several grades higher. Small buildings along the street on the second and third floors are not uncommon. There is even a five-story building standing on the cross street. The sign reads "Wutong City Department Store".

The asphalt road is not wide, but it is clean.

Bicycles shuttled fast, and buses and trams drove slowly.

Strictly speaking, it is not as good as Huaihua Town where Li Xingxing lived.

However, although the passers-by who came and went were all yellow and thin, and their clothes were patched with patches, their mental state was better than that of the Li family, with a high fighting spirit.

Probably this is what the old man said about having faith!
"Xingxing, let's store the bicycle. I brought the household registration book and asked your uncle to open the letter of introduction for two more days. We can stroll around slowly. If we can't make it back at night, we will stay at the hotel." Li Xiuhong I go into the city with my eldest brother every three or five days, sometimes to withdraw money, sometimes to send letters, sometimes to buy things, so I know everything about Wutong City like the back of my hand.

Li Xingxing raised his eyebrows: "That's great! Let's go to the bank first!"

If you have money, you can go shopping!
At the counter, she took out two gold bracelets and a letter of introduction and handed them over, "Comrade, I want to exchange money, how much can I exchange?"

"Ah! Gold!" The state encourages the common people to take gold and silver to the bank to exchange money, so the bank staff looked at Li Xingxing with a particularly soft expression, "Now the price of one tael of gold is 130 yuan."

"One hundred and thirteen? Too cheap, right? Less than three yuan per gram?" It's so cheap!

The staff immediately knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I mean the old one tael, 31.25 grams, not the current 50 grams per city tael. If the price is gram, it is four yuan and sixty cents."

"It's about the same." Compared with the price of less than three yuan, more than four yuan actually made Li Xingxing strangely satisfied.

"We have to check the purity of the gold first."

"Check it out, mine is pure gold!" It is definitely higher than the purity on the market.

She remembered that the old man said that the highest gold bar during the Republic of China reached 990, not 999 thousand pure gold.

After careful inspection, there is no doubt about it.

The staff weighed the weight, and then issued an invoice, "A total of eight taels, 660 four yuan, should I withdraw cash, or open an account and deposit it in the bank? Comrade, the state encourages everyone to deposit money in the bank, for insurance!"

Li Xingxing just wanted to say to save one thousand, but changed his mind when he saw the banknotes the other party took out.
