Siheyuan: A Beautiful Life

"Patriotic! I went to the Pigeon Market this morning, and I found that the stick noodles in the Pigeon Market were two cents more expensive than usual." Wu Aiguo returned home with Yingying in his arms. Chen Shuying, who was sorting out her things, thought of her going to the Pigeon Market this morning.

After selling grain, he whispered to Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's words and wanted to hit the mountains of grain piled up in his still space. He whispered to Chen Shuying: "Mom! My comrades have changed their jobs and come back to work at the grain station. If others can't buy grain, it doesn't mean that we can't buy it.

If you get food, you'd better not go to this pigeon market from now on."

Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words and asked Wu Aiguo dubiously: "Aiguo! Are you sure you can buy food?"

When Wu Aiguo heard his mother's inquiry, how could he not understand what her mother was worried about? He replied very firmly: "Mom! This is related to the food and clothing of our family. Do I dare to joke with you about this kind of thing?"

"Patriot! You can't speculate just to buy food!" After hearing Wu Aiguo's guarantee, Chen Shuying had a dubious expression on her face and reminded her.

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's reminder and replied with a smile: "Mom! The so-called speculation is buying low, selling high, and then making profits in the middle. That's called speculation."

"And I asked my comrades to adjust the unplanned food. I bought it directly and ate it myself. There was no speculation at all."

When Chen Shuying heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, she looked at Wu Aiguo in disbelief and quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Are you sure this is true?"

When Wu Aiguo heard his mother's inquiry and saw her disbelieving expression, he smiled and said to his mother: "Mom! There have been a lot of arrests in the pigeon market in recent years, right? In addition to those who sell things in the pigeon market, those who buy things

How many people have been arrested?"

Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's reminder and thought of the news related to Pigeon City. She then realized that Wu Aiguo was not deceiving her. Considering that Wu Aiguo was the only cadre in their family, Chen Shuying did not forget to tell Wu Aiguo: "Patriot!

You are a cadre now, you have to know clearly what you can and cannot do."

Aunt Liu and the two aunts from the hospital took the bus to the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. The three of them queued in front of the counter for about ten minutes. When it was finally Aunt Liu's turn, Aunt Liu took the money and tickets.

, politely said to the salesperson at the counter: "Comrade! I want to buy two bars of soap. Here is my money and ticket."

The salesperson heard Aunt Liu's words and replied expressionlessly: "Auntie! The soap has been sold out. If you want to buy soap, please come early tomorrow."

After hearing the salesperson's answer, Aunt Liu asked the salesperson with a puzzled look on her face: "Comrade! I heard that your supply and marketing cooperative just came in with a batch of soap this morning. How come it was sold out so quickly?"

At this point, Aunt Liu suddenly remembered what Wu Aiguo had told her, and she quickly asked the salesperson: "Comrade! Is your Section Chief Zhang here? I have something to see him for."

When the salesperson heard Aunt Liu mention that their supply and marketing cooperative had purchased a batch of special soap that morning, she immediately realized that Aunt Liu was a related household.

Now that I saw Aunt Liu asking for Section Chief Zhang by name, my attitude toward Aunt Liu immediately changed a lot, and she replied: "Auntie! Just wait here for a while, and I'll call us for you."

Section Chief Zhang.”

Soon the salesperson and Section Chief Zhang walked out of the office behind the counter, pointed at Aunt Liu who was standing in front of the counter, and whispered a few words in Section Chief Zhang's ear.

After hearing the salesperson's introduction, Section Chief Zhang walked out of the counter and asked Aunt Liu: "This eldest sister! I heard that you are looking for me?"

Aunt Liu heard Section Chief Zhang's inquiry and quickly introduced herself politely: "Section Chief Zhang! My surname is Liu, and I am a neighbor of Wu Aiguo. It was Aiguo who asked me to come here to find you."

After hearing the situation introduced by Aunt Liu, Section Chief Zhang looked around and whispered to Aunt Liu: "Auntie! Come with me."

Section Chief Zhang led Aunt Liu and others out of the supply and marketing cooperative and asked Aunt Liu in a low voice: "Aunt Liu! I didn't expect that you were introduced by Section Chief Wu. How many pieces of soap do you want to buy? Give me the money.

Give me the ticket and I will help you arrange for someone to pick it up."

When Aunt Liu saw Section Chief Zhang calling Section Chief Wu Aiguo, a surprised expression appeared on her face, and she quickly asked Section Chief Zhang: "Chief Zhang! You just said that Ai Guo is the section chief of your supply and marketing cooperative. Is this true?

?"

Section Chief Zhang heard Aunt Liu's inquiry and saw the surprised expression on Aunt Liu's face. He nodded subconsciously and replied: "Aunt Liu! Didn't Section Chief Wu tell you that he is the Purchasing Department of our Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

The deputy section chief?”

Aunt Liu has always been very strange as to why the street office allocated the three rooms in the front yard to Wu Aiguo. Now after hearing the situation introduced by Section Chief Zhang, Aunt Liu understands the reason.

Faced with Section Chief Zhang's inquiry, Aunt Liu quickly explained: "Chief Zhang! That patriotic boy usually keeps a low profile and never told us what he does in the supply and marketing cooperative."

After hearing Aunt Liu's explanation, Section Chief Zhang did not dwell on the issue and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunts! Give me the money and tickets, and then wait for me at the gate over there. I will go in and arrange the people.

I’ll bring you soap.”

After Aunt Liu handed the money and tickets brought by the three people to Section Chief Zhang, she followed Section Chief Zhang's instructions and went to wait at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The salesperson who received Aunt Liu not long ago walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative compound with a newspaper package, and politely said to Aunt Liu and others: "Aunts three! This is the soap you want.

See for yourself if there is anything wrong."

When Aunt Liu heard what the salesperson said, she immediately took the newspaper from him, opened it and took a look at the fragrant soap, and thanked the salesperson happily: "Little comrade! Thank you!"

Although Wu Aiguo went to work for the second time today, because of this batch of special soap, Wu Aiguo became famous in the workplace.

When the salesperson heard Aunt Liu's thanks, she replied very politely: "Aunts, I have already delivered the soap, so I will go back to work first."

Salespersons in this era are undoubtedly the most popular profession. Aunt Liu and the others usually go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, but the attitude of the salespersons towards them is arrogant and unreasonable. They are so warm and polite as they are now.

Aunt Liu looked at the back of the salesperson and thought of the treatment the three of them received today, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the street kid back then has become a cadre now. The Wu family will be in trouble!"
