Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 149 Encountering a Roadblock in the Military District Compound

Qin Dabao was so angry that he yelled, "You two are just idiots!"

Wei Yuan chuckled, took out a lighter from his desk and threw it to Dabao.

"This American Zippo lighter, it's said to be a favorite of Ridgway's, how about it? Is it worth two packs of cigarettes?"

Qin Dabao immediately smiled and took out another box from his pocket and handed it to Wei Yuan. This gift was quite valuable and he liked it. Wei Yuan curled his lips. Qin Dabao was born in the Year of the Dog and changed his expression very quickly.

"Old Wei, with your ability, you shouldn't be short of meat. Why do you want to risk your life just because you see meat?"

Wei Yuan sighed: "I tell you, there is no meat in the entire meat processing plant now. We have to wait until the end of the year, when the villagers hand in the quota pigs, to have meat to eat, and we may not even get it.

Now, let alone meat, we can’t even get enough food.”

Qin Dabao was silent. He had just chatted with his uncle last week and realized that the situation this year was extremely serious.

Normally speaking, considering Wei Yuan's young age and the fact that he is the director of a large store, he should have no worries about food and clothing with his ability and background. However, even he said that there was not enough food. One can imagine how the common people lived.

After finishing his meal, Wei Ping hurried home with the sack. The ten pounds of pork would last until the New Year. The lard and the lard residue would also be delicious when used to cook dishes.

Qin Dabao remembered the purpose of his visit and asked Wei Yuan if he had a small bicycle for girls. It was New Year's Day and he wanted to give a gift to his two cousins.

Wei Yuan took out the account book and flipped through it. All the good stuff was in the library, but he had no idea what was in it.

"Are you looking for a second-hand bicycle? We don't have the domestically produced Forever or Tianma ones, but we have a few imported ones in the warehouse. The quality is definitely top-notch. Let me take a look. We have two Boardmans and a Dolan. Hmm, this Dolan is pretty good, about 95% new, with a 26mm slant beam, perfect for a little girl."

Qin Dabao pulled Wei Yuan and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Wei Yuan staggered when he was pulled by him: "Oh, I'll get the key, I'll get the key..." When they arrived at the warehouse, there were quite a lot of good things inside. Wei Yuan pushed out a bicycle.

This bicycle is really nice. It is sky blue, has swallow-shaped handlebars, and a light on the front. Put the battery in and press the switch, and the light will be bright. It is very light when you pick up the bike, and it is perfect for Lu Tong and Lu Li to ride.

The key is that you don’t have to worry about theft. There are only a few bicycles like this in the whole capital.

"You like it? I asked someone to issue the ticket. 120."

Qin Dabao knew that Wei Yuan must have given him the purchase price. After all, the store was state-owned, so it was none of his business whether it sold more or less. As long as Wei Yuan didn't put the money into his own pocket, it didn't matter how much he sold it for.

After paying, Wei Yuan made him a cup of tea. The two chatted for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Dabao had to go to his grandmother's house. He said goodbye to Wei Yuan and came out of the consignment store. Dabao pushed two bicycles and found a deserted place to put the bicycles he bought for his cousin into the space.

I quickly got to the military compound, found a deserted place, and put a yellow-haired deer into a sack, all packed up, and then put two mountain jumpers and a bag of big apples. It was only a little after 1:00 p.m., so I still had time to make five-spice hand-shredded rabbit for my two younger sisters. They would definitely love it.

When entering the gate of the military district compound, he threw a box of ordinary Zhonghua cigarettes to the squad leader, who waved happily. During this period of time, the soldiers on guard became familiar with Qin Dabao.

Qin Dabao rode the bike with one hand and carried a child with the other as he walked towards the small courtyard at the back. Six or seven boys came towards him. They were all dressed in officer uniforms, wearing cotton military caps and army green school bags hanging around their necks. They walked unsteadily and looked very dissatisfied.

Qin Dabao glanced at them and wanted to go around them, but he didn't expect a tall boy on the right to suddenly block the road.

This boy looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was over 1.9 meters tall, almost two meters, and the officer's coat on his body made him look a little short.

The remaining boys stopped and looked at Qin Dabao with a smile. Qin Dabao turned up the collar of his military coat because the wind was a bit strong.

"Hey kid, you look unfamiliar. Where are you from? What's your name? Why are you here in our yard? Are you here to steal bicycles?"

The boys burst into laughter. How could they have the courage to steal bicycles in the military compound?

Qin Dabao didn't want to bother with these furry kids and wanted to push the cart around.

The boy who blocked his way was tall, had long arms and legs, and he stopped him with just one hand.

"What's wrong? Is he a mute?"

Qin Dabao looked up at him and said, "Wow! This guy is really tall."

"Get lost! A good dog doesn't block the road!"

When the boy heard this, he laughed instead of getting angry: "Oh, it's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like that. You're really brave."

He turned his head and glanced at the shortest boy among the boys. The boy was wearing a big hat. He was the only one wearing a military cotton coat. His face was buried in the fur collar of his coat, so his face could not be seen. He only nodded his head, and it seemed that he was the leader of the group of boys.

The big man took two steps forward and grabbed Qin Dabao's coat collar with his big hand like a palm leaf fan. Qin Dabao was still riding on his bicycle, one foot on the ground. He reached out and grabbed the big man's wrist, and couldn't help but curse: "Fuck! Your wrist is so thick!"

The big guy was stunned for a moment. Since he was thirteen years old and had grown up, no one had dared to grab his wrist or neck. He was about to grab Qin Dabao's arm with his other hand, but then half of his body felt numb and he couldn't exert any strength.

The big man roared, retracted his other hand, and punched out with his fist.

The leading boy suddenly shouted, "Erkui, stop it!" The voice was clear and pleasant, and it turned out to be a girl's.

She knew how hard the big guy's fist was. If this punch hit the person in front of her, he would be seriously injured, so she quickly stopped him.

Qin Dabao smiled coldly, retracted his hand, clenched his fist and punched out. The two fists collided with each other. With a "bang", the big man screamed and fell backwards. His hands were shaking.

Qin Dabao's left hand was still holding his other wrist, and he pulled it back, pulling the big man back.

The big guy was horrified and turned around and called out, "Big Sister."

Qin Dabao curled his lips and loosened his hand. He disdained to pay attention to these immature brats. He shook his hands. The big man's fist was really hard. Even his strengthened body felt a little pain.

He got on his bike, walked around the group of kids, and sped away.

The boys all turned to look at the girl who was leading the group. The girl pushed up her hat, revealing a small face with picturesque features and eyebrows. If you look closely, you can see that her eyes are a little blue and her nose is straight. She looks a bit mixed-race and looks very much like Nazha when she was a teenager.

She looked back at Qin Dabao's back and said, "This guy is quite a donkey, Ergou, go find out who he is."

A boy responded and turned around to run after Qin Dabao.

The girl took a look at the big guy's fist, which was already red and swollen, and couldn't help being shocked. You know, Fan Zhikui's physical fitness was so good that even the soldier king of the military sub-district's reconnaissance company praised him highly, claiming that no one in the entire military sub-district would be Fan Zhikui's opponent in five years. But today he was beaten like this by a teenager head-on. Doesn't that mean that this teenager is stronger?

Qin Dabao didn't take it seriously. They were just a group of hormone-filled kids from the compound who felt they were bored and were just looking for some fun.

Dabao has seen many people like this. From a psychological point of view, is it shameful for him to argue with a bunch of little grandchildren?

Arriving at my grandmother's courtyard, I walked in carrying a large sack.

Qin Dabao caught his sister who rushed over, and carried two sacks into the kitchen. When he came back, he saw Lu Tong and Lu Li kneeling on the sofa.

"elder brother."

Qin Yi rubbed their pigtails.

"I'll buy you two a bicycle as a New Year's gift."

Lu Tong and Lu Li cried out in surprise, quickly put on their shoes and ran out the door.

Qin Dabao hurriedly shouted: "Come back! Put on your cotton jacket, don't catch a cold."

Lu Tong and Lu Li rushed back, hanging one on each side like a koala, and Qin Dabao was hung with sisters.

"Thank you, brother. You are so nice!" Qin Dabao smiled happily after hearing the flattery.

"I'm going to cook for you now. I'll make you five-spice hand-shredded rabbit and braised pork."

"Wow!" The three sisters cheered. They loved having their brother at home. His cooking skills were as good as those of a five-story building.
