Chapter 825 New Year

Guan Lao's words made the two people start bickering again, but this time they stopped quickly.

At lunch, there were four people at the table, Han Li, Liu Lao, and Guan Lao and his wife.

The atmosphere at the table was very good, and that grandmother Guan was also quite kind when she spoke, and she kept picking up food from Han Li.

Han Li also took the opportunity of eating to feed each of them one-tenth of the powerful pill through the air.

After eating and drinking a cup of tea, Han Li said that he had to have dinner with the teacher in the evening, and wanted to arrive early to prepare, when Liu Lao said beside him.

"It's a good thing to eat with the teacher. I just got a few cigarettes here. You can take them to make up for the occasion."

Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard this. The cigarettes he got? Could it be the legendary specially made cigarettes? Then this thing can really make up for himself.

When Gong Jianglong went to get the cigarettes, Liu Lao answered Han Li's curious questions about the cigarettes.

It also means that this matter was not originally something he should know, but now there is no need to keep it secret, so he will tell him. However, even so, Han Li can only listen here and cannot tell anyone.

This cigarette was manufactured in November 1971, at No. **, Nanchang Street, with a special code name "132" team.

There is a semi-military management there, and people outside have no idea what is done inside.

The masters were specially transferred from Shifang Tobacco Factory in four provinces, and the tobacco leaves have been screened and processed layer by layer.

Initially, there were No. 1, No. 2, No. 13, and No. 33 cigarettes and cigars.

After the final selection, the most produced models of cigarettes there are No. 2 and No. 13 cigarettes.

The specifications are uniform, with 10 cigarettes per pack and 10 packs per carton, with a layer of moisture-proof paper inside and a layer of ordinary white paper outside.

The small package is covered with a rolling number, and the carton package is covered with the cigarette number and production date.

At that time, No. 2 cigarettes were only smoked by one person, and No. 13 cigarettes were smoked by others.

But these cigarettes are not free, they have to pay for them (6 yuan a pack)

Now no one smokes No. 2 cigarettes, and fewer and fewer people smoke No. 13 cigarettes, so the "132" group is already in a semi-stopped state, which is why Liu Laoken told Han Li.

(During the National Day in 1984, the 132 group officially announced its dissolution, and the process of special cigarettes was handed over to the Sijiucheng Cigarette Factory, which continued to undertake the task of producing special cigarettes. That place later became the first exhibition and sales department of the Tobacco Trade Center.

After the reform and opening up, the Sijiucheng Cigarette Factory used part of the process and registered the "Z Nanhai" brand cigarettes with the approval of the superiors.)

Han Li listened to Liu Lao's story about the origin of this cigarette, and finally heard that this group was going to be disbanded, so he hurriedly said.

"Mr. Liu, you must buy me more of these cigarettes."

"Why do you need so many cigarettes? There are more than ten cartons of cigarettes here. Not to mention that you can't use them up when you accompany the teacher to dinner today, you can't use them up when you entertain relatives and friends after the New Year, right?"

"This. Mr. Liu, I have mentioned this to you before. When I return to Sijiu City and officially get the marriage certificate with my partner and have a good wedding, my family are all ordinary employees, and my father-in-law is a leader, so I plan to use these cigarettes to show off."

When Mr. Liu heard that Han Li was going to use them for his wedding, he was about to agree when Mr. Guan next to him directly expressed his opinion.

"Han Li, I will pay for the No. 13 cigarettes for your wedding. When the time comes, I will help you to take charge and see what it looks like to have a leader like you who is a good son-in-law."

"Old Guan, don't make trouble. If you show up in such an occasion, it will only cause trouble for Han Li. Just wait until he finishes the wedding and brings his wife to us."

"Why am I making trouble?"

When Mr. Guan was about to continue speaking, Grandma Guan next to him directly pulled him and said.

"You're right to listen to Brother Liu. It's not convenient for you to show up. I'll just go over and keep an eye on Han Li's wedding."

——

"Xiao Ji, go home and get all my No. 13 cigarettes this month, and take them away for Han Li later."

When Han Li came out of Old Liu's place, there were 29 packs of No. 13 cigarettes in the bag on the back seat of his bicycle. However, when he walked to a deserted area, most of these cigarettes were put into the decomposition space.

Han Li returned home to rest for a while, and called his eldest sister, second sister, third sister, Yun Jingjing, and Qi Xiaomei to ride three bicycles and set off.

The dinner organized by Teacher Zhang in the evening went very smoothly at the beginning. Although they had resumed their positions for nearly a year, they didn't have many opportunities to get together, or they didn't have the funds to get together.

When these people saw the No. 13 cigarettes on the table, they learned that it was sent by an elder of Han Li who heard that they were inviting teachers to dinner today. The scene became more lively, and some people looked at Han Li eagerly.

There were people who didn't know the origin of No. 13 cigarettes. After being told by other friends, their behavior was no different from others. You know, people who smoke this kind of cigarettes.

Before the end of the meeting, Han Li secretly gave a whole pack of No. 13 cigarettes to Teacher Zhang, and after giving two packs to each of the others, many things became easier to talk about.

After Han Li and his sisters sent these teachers away and returned home, it was already 10:30 in the evening.

After this busy day, Han Li briefly talked to his parents, washed up a little, and lay down to sleep.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the family was preparing for the Chinese New Year. Han Li rode his bicycle to the neighborhood and when he came back, there were several more snakeskin bags on the bicycle. No matter who asked, these were the meat and mountain products sent from the Northeast.

After Han Li put the things at home, he was called by Yu Daqiang and a few good neighbors to drink.

A few people found a small restaurant nearby, and copper pot charcoal, mutton, cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, and Erguotou were steaming hot.

They didn't have to work at home for the New Year, and there was nothing to do in the unit, so they drank freely. When the party ended, it had already started snowing in the sky. Three of the six people couldn't walk. Fortunately, they were not far from home, and they all stumbled back home safely.

Since there was no New Year's Eve this year, the second day after Han Li and his friends drank was New Year's Eve.

Everything that needed to be prepared at home was prepared. The family would not let Han Li do these things, such as stewing meat, making dumplings, steaming buns, and flower rolls. He listened to the radio and idled with his family at home in the morning, and went to his master's place in the afternoon with things.

Wuwu year. Jiayin month. Gengzi day, February 7th of the Gregorian calendar, the first day of the first lunar month.

Han Li's family chatted in the room, and when the midnight bell rang, everyone came to the yard to light the New Year's firecrackers.

This year's firecrackers sounded particularly crisp, and everyone in the yard showed a smile that they had never seen before.
