Chapter 924

Courtyard House

Cao Weiguo returned home smelling of alcohol, and a strong cold wind blew outside the house.

The cold wind in the north is like a beast, and people with thin figures can be blown over.

The wind in the winter night is even fiercer and colder, making a chilling whistling sound as it passes through the streets and alleys.

"This weather is getting colder and colder!"

Song Yulan prepared foot-washing water for Cao Weiguo: "Should we pull more coal to store at home? Otherwise, the colder it gets, the harder it will be to buy coal."

Cao Weiguo took off his shoes and socks and stepped his smelly feet into the foot basin: "I will find time to go to the coal store and take a look."

In this era, what is stored in winter is not only Chinese cabbage and radishes, but also another major event that cannot be separated from, which is buying coal.

The family cannot live without stoves and stoves every day, and firewood and coal are indispensable necessities in life.

People cannot live without coal for their diet and daily life all year round, so coal stores occupy a pivotal position in people's lives.

Especially in winter, buying and storing coal has become an important part of every household.

At this time, the supply of coal and firewood for residents' daily life is also fixed, and the coal purchase certificate is collected with the household registration book.

Because the coal certificate is issued according to the fixed population, residents must hold the certificate and ticket to the designated coal store to queue up to pull coal.

Every winter, it is a lively scene of big cars and small cars pulling coal with certificates, just like going to a big market.

Song Yulan is pregnant, so Cao Weiguo dare not let her go to the coal store.

It's crowded there, and if something happens, there's no regret medicine to take.

Cao Weiguo washed his feet comfortably in the room, and the neighbors in the courtyard were panicked by the whistling cold wind.

Xu Family in the Backyard

He Wenjie and Xu Rui were happily eating the roast duck they had packed back.

Although it was a bit cold, the taste was really fragrant.

He Wenjie swallowed the duck meat and said: "Damao, the temperature has dropped, I want to buy more coal back."

Xu Damao took out a handful of money from his pocket generously: "Here! Pull as much as you want! Our family is not short of money!"

He Wenjie opened her eyes in shock: "So much money! Where did you get it!"

Xu Damao was carried away by success: "Your man has great ability! What is this little money? Just wait to enjoy the blessings with me! In the future, our family will be the richest in this courtyard, this street, and this city!"

He Wenjie grabbed Xu Damao's arm with shining eyes: "Damao! You are too amazing! Hurry up and tell me how this money came from!"

Xu Damao said with a dance: "Yesterday I went to Dongfeng Commune to show a movie, and in the middle of the night I ran into..."

He Wenjie heard from beginning to end and said with regret: "Damao, you might have suffered a loss. That gold bowl might be a good treasure, and its value is definitely more than six hundred and fifty yuan."

Xu Damao frowned: "I know that gold bowl is worth more than six hundred and fifty yuan, but this thing is hard to sell, and buyers are hard to find. If it stays in my hands, I don't know when it will be sold."

He Wenjie said: "That's the matter, but I just feel like I suffered a loss. Do you think Cao Weiguo got benefits from it, or is he in the same group as that person?"

Xu Damao's face looked ugly: "Just say this to me, rot it in your stomach, don't talk nonsense outside. That guy Cao Weiguo is not a good person, be careful of trouble coming from the mouth."

He Wenjie curled her lips: "I won't say it outside, I'm not a fool, I'm just a bit unhappy in my heart. This Cao Weiguo must have got benefits from it!"

Xu Damao also suspected that Cao Weiguo was profiting from it.

No profit, no early rising!

Why would Cao Weiguo help him introduce a buyer without benefits?

It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Xu Damao had no way out and could only be passively controlled. If he suffered a loss, he suffered a loss. Let's sell the thing first.

As for this breath, let's endure it first. When he becomes rich, he will make Cao Weiguo pay it back double!

Liu Family in the Backyard

Second Uncle Liu Haizhong was lecturing his second son: "This weather is getting colder and colder, and the expenses at home are getting bigger and bigger. From this month on, you have to pay five more yuan to the family."

Liu Guangtian said indignantly: "Why! The money I pay to the family is already not little!"

Second Uncle tiger-faced: "The money you pay is only enough for food, but in winter, you not only need to eat but also need to burn coal for heating. If you don't pay for the coal, you can go live outside."

As soon as Liu Guangtian heard this, he was instantly flushed with anger, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.
