Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 63

"Gifts, what shall we give to others?"

When it comes to gift giving, Lanhua is a little apprehensive and doesn't know what to give.

"What else is there, he is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and there should be no shortage of ordinary things at home. I'll see if I can get a sewing ticket or a watch ticket." Wang Manyin replied casually.

In fact, he was thinking about it when he was eating just now.

Giving gifts is also a science, pay attention to one step in place, it is best to let the other party have a deep memory.

There is a buzzword in this era called "three turns and one sound, four big pieces", which refers to watches, bicycles, sewing machines and radios.

Wang Manyin has been to Director Guo's house several times and has a basic understanding of the situation.I already have a bicycle, but I haven't seen a sewing machine or a watch, so this is the most suitable gift.

There is a jingle about gift giving in different ages on the Internet of Later Times, and the description is very vivid.

70s: "Grenade (wine), dynamite pack (snack box), 20 rings (cigarettes)—all three."

80s: "Smoking a cigarette isn't a big deal, drinking a bit of wine for a while, and if you want to do something, you have to send a combination cabinet."

90s: "Don't care about giving cigarettes, and drink for a while. The color TV in the refrigerator is just enough, and it's difficult to do things without counting tickets. The big unity lends a little strength, and the 'four old men' can only be energetic when they are in battle. '20 rings',' Grenades' power is poor, 'chicken feather letters' (envelopes containing money) are extremely effective, and positive and negative collisions (dancing) have the best effect."

Logically speaking, gift-giving is not so voluptuous now, and "three rings at once" is already quite good.

However, in Wang Manyin's view, it may be possible to find Director Guo for general affairs, "three rings at once", but it is a bit weak to find a job in a supply and marketing cooperative.

Now that it's done, let's do it in one step.

After hearing this, Shaoan said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, those tickets are rare. They are not cheap, one ticket is estimated to cost dozens or even hundreds of yuan. Or... why don't you forget it?"

He originally thought that the so-called gift from his brother-in-law was just a few boxes of snacks, but he didn't know that the gift was a sewing ticket, a watch ticket.

If the ticket is exchanged for money, it is equivalent to sending a pig out of one's own family.

"So much?" Lan Hua was also stunned.

"Shaoan, Lanhua, money is a bastard, you can earn it without us. Our family can't fight for relationships, so we can only spend money." Wang Manyin replied nonchalantly.

In later generations, there are even more exaggerated ways of giving gifts.Sometimes sending money doesn't work at all, so you just give it away.

"I still think it's too much."

Shaoan was still very hesitant, subconsciously wanting to give up this opportunity.

"Sometimes there is only one opportunity, of course we must seize it as much as possible. Shaoan, think about it, if you can really work in a supply and marketing cooperative, you can earn more than 30 yuan a month. A sewing ticket is equivalent to two months' salary. .”

Wang Manyin explained, and then said, "I'm afraid that if I really send a sewing ticket, it may not be possible."

Lan Hua moved her mouth, but didn't say much in the end.

It's about my younger brother's future, and I can't get in the way at all, so I can only hand it over to a man.

After listening to his brother-in-law finish the financial calculations, Shaoan was persuaded.

In the end, he agreed: "Then... I'll go back and ask my dad to prepare, and send the money over in the next two days."

"Shao'an, I don't need the money, I'll get the ticket. You just need to run the village well..."

"Brother-in-law, do something for me, how can I make you spend money."

Hearing this, Sun Shaoan shook his head again and again.

"One family doesn't speak two different languages. If you can really go to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, your sister and I will have a good face when the time comes."

"That's not okay, there is no reason for you to contribute and pay. If you don't charge money, I don't want this job opportunity." Shaoan insisted.

Of course he could see that his brother-in-law was sincere.

But I'm not a person who doesn't know how to be grateful... Brother-in-law can give up such a precious opportunity, which is already considered a great friendship.He was very grateful in his heart, how could he let his brother-in-law pay again.

If this is the case, I will have no face to visit the door in the future.

"Okay, if that's the case, don't give me the money yet. I'll tell you how much it costs when I buy the sewing ticket back. This is the head office." Wang Manyin took a step back.

This time, Shaoan did not object.

He was dragged out of the house by his sister in a hurry earlier, and his family members were probably worried.

After the matter was agreed upon, Shaoan did not stay any longer.

"Until this matter is settled, don't tell anyone except our dad!" Before leaving, Wang Manyin urged again.

"Understood, brother-in-law." Sun Shaoan nodded.

Of course he understands the seriousness, the less people who know about this kind of thing, the better, otherwise there may be something wrong.

Sending Shaoan away, Wang Manyin turned to see Lanhua staring at him.

He asked puzzledly, "What's the matter, look at me, is there something on my face?"

"It's nothing, Man Yin, it's great that I can marry you." Lan Hua took the man's hand and leaned on his shoulder.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she took the initiative to express her love to Wang Manyin.

Before the two got married, it was more of a man's flirtatious affair, and Lan Hua just pushed it halfway.

Seeing the emotional state of the mother-in-law and aunt next to her, Wang Manyin couldn't help but smirk: "Know me well, work harder at night..."

In other words, my mother-in-law and aunt can't see enough.

Especially within a month of marriage, the food at home has kept up with nutrition, Lanhua's face has become fairer, and there is a bit of the unique charm of young women in her eyebrows.

At night, Wang Manyin couldn't see enough for nothing.

"You're going to die, and you're not serious in broad daylight," Lan Hua blushed, couldn't help but twist the man's waist, and continued to lean on his shoulders to bask in the sun.

The red sun is setting in the west, and the mountains in the distance are ups and downs, covering it with a golden red color.The snow on the nearby cliff has not completely melted, adding a touch of white to the color.

On the acacia tree next to the dung pile, a few sparrows were chirping.On the side of the dirt road, a few dirt dogs are running around...

Everything seemed peaceful and at ease.

The two of them just stood there without speaking.

It's a pity that their tenderness was quickly broken... Another child came to buy things.

These guys have lucky money in their hands, and they can't save it at all.

Wang Manyin did not expect that the incident of Shao'an caused quite a commotion.

As soon as the two of them put down their bowls at night, they heard a familiar voice coming from the edge of the cliff.

"Man Yin, Lan Huaer!"

Hearing the sound, they hurried out.

I saw Sun Yuhou standing on the side of the road beside the field, almost blending into the night.

"Dad, why are you here?"

The two asked each other, and hurriedly welcomed each other into the cave.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for the old father-in-law to visit the house since they got married.

"Dad, you haven't eaten yet, let Lan Huaer cook for you." After pouring a glass of water for the old man, Wang Manyin asked again.

"Don't worry, I've eaten, just say a few words and leave." Sun Yuhou hurriedly stopped.

"Lan Huaer, make some poached eggs for our dad, it will be quick." Wang Manyin didn't listen to the other party, and turned his head directly to order.

Whether you eat or not, you have to show the attitude that your son-in-law should have.

Before Sun Yuhou got up to stop him, Lan Hua quickly took out a few eggs and broke them.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything more.

"Dad, did you come here for Shao'an's affairs?" Wang Manyin asked without waiting for the other party to speak.

"Man Yin, is this going to happen? I heard Shao'an say once in the afternoon that you are going to give me a sewing ticket... If it doesn't work, what will you do then?" Mr. Sun said cautiously.

Hearing his son talk about it in private in the afternoon, he was of course very excited.

As a father, of course he is willing to find a future for his son.

But calm down, and a little scared.

After all, it costs tens or hundreds of dollars to buy a sewing ticket, which is not a small sum.He is not afraid of giving gifts, but he is afraid that the money will be spent and things will not be done.

After dinner in the evening, he was really worried, so he hurried to his son-in-law's house to inquire.

"Dad, who dares to guarantee this matter. I have already told Shao'an this afternoon that the opportunity is rare... After this village, there will be no such shop. If we don't catch it, it will be too bad, so let's fight for it."

"It's fine. You need to worry about it then." As he spoke, Mr. Sun unbuttoned his cotton-padded jacket, and took out a bunch of warm notes from inside, which cost almost a hundred yuan.

"Dad, what are you doing? Hurry up and take it back. I've already told Shao'an, and we'll talk about it when we get the ticket." Wang Manyin waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's full of silver, one yard is worth one yard, you must keep this money. It's for Shao'an, saying that Potian has no reason to ask you to pay."

With callused hands, Sun Yuhou pushed the money over abruptly, with no doubt in his words.
