Siheyuan: A Beautiful Life

The next morning, Wu Aiguo finished breakfast at home, carried his military green cloth bag, and walked toward the front yard.

When Wu Aiguo walked to the middle courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes in front of the sink. He couldn't help but think of what happened last night. He pretended that nothing had happened and greeted Qin Huairu with a smile: "

Good morning, Sister Qin!"

Qin Huairu, who was doing laundry, saw Wu Aiguo and also remembered the madness last night.

Faced with Wu Aiguo's proactive greetings, Qin Huairu responded with a guilty look: "Patriotic brothers! Good morning!"

Just as Wu Aiguo was greeting Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the house and happened to see Wu Aiguo greeting Qin Huairu.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Wu Aiguo, he thought of the hospital-wide meeting a few days ago, ignored Wu Aiguo's existence, walked to the door of Jia's house, and shouted inside: "Dongxu! Are you okay?"

"Master! Just wait for me, I'll be out right away." As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Jia Dongxu's response came from the Jia family.

When Wu Aiguo saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of his home, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. He also ignored Yi Zhonghai's presence and walked directly towards the front yard.

Wu Aiguo walked to the front yard and came to the east wing allocated to him. He smiled and said to Master Wang who was renovating inside: "Master Wang! I have already bought the ceramic toilet and placed it at the door of the bathroom."

Master Wang, who was installing the suspended ceiling, heard Wu Aiguo's words and replied with a smile: "Comrade Patriot! I have installed the ceramic toilet for you. After the cement in the bathroom dries, the toilet will be ready for use."

Wu Aiguo heard Master Wang's words, glanced at the ceiling being installed, and said with a smile: "Master Wang! Then I'll trouble you here."

"Patriot! Are you planning to go to work?" Wu Aiguo walked out of the room, and Yan Bugui immediately stepped forward and asked Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Yes, Third Master! Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative is quite far away from us. If we don't rush to the bus station at this time and wait for the next bus, we will definitely be late."

Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's words and thought of his purpose of waiting for Wu Aiguo here. He said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! I heard your third aunt said that your Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative bought a batch of special soap yesterday. You

When you go to work, can you bring two yuan back for me?"

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's request and replied very simply: "Okay! No problem, Third Master! You give me the ticket. When I get to the work, I will buy the soap for you immediately and bring it to you after get off work." return."

When Yan Bugui saw Wu Aiguo's promise, a happy smile appeared on his face. He quickly took out the money and tickets he had prepared in advance from his pocket and said, "Aiguo! Here are the money and tickets to buy soap. You can keep them."

Come."

More than half an hour later, Wu Aiguo took a bus to the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Thinking that it was a bit inconvenient to catch the bus to work every day, Wu Aiguo thought in his heart that he would go to the sales department later to have a look at the supply and marketing department.

Is there any bicycle for sale in the club? Then I can buy one for transportation.

"Section Chief Wu! Good morning!" As soon as Wu Aiguo walked into the office, a subordinate in the purchasing department immediately greeted Wu Aiguo warmly.

When Wu Aiguo heard the other party's greetings, he immediately remembered the other party's name and responded with a smile: "Comrade Heping! Good morning!"

Xiao Heping looked at Wu Aiguo sitting down at his desk. Thinking of what happened in the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday afternoon, he quickly and respectfully introduced to Wu Aiguo: "Chief Wu! Because of the batch of soap you purchased, our supply and marketing cooperative yesterday

, but he showed his face once."

"When the family members of the leaders in the district and nearby factories learned that our supply and marketing cooperative had received a batch of special-grade soap, they all came to see our Director Jiang. As a result, Director Jiang did not even dare to stay in the office and hid under Section Chief Li.

In the office."

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Xiao Heping, a surprised expression appeared on his face. He never imagined that a small piece of soap would cause so many people to rush for it.

However, he was surprised that Wu Aiguo did not dwell on this issue.

Thinking of buying a bicycle, Wu Aiguo smiled and asked Xiao Heping: "Heping! Does our supply and marketing cooperative have bicycles in stock?"

This is an era of planned economy, where everything is allocated according to quotas. If Wu Aiguo wants to buy a bicycle, he does not just need to have money and tickets on hand, but also depends on whether there is any stock in supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores.

Xiao Heping heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry and asked curiously: "Chief Wu! Do you want to buy a bicycle?"

Wu Aiguo heard Xiao Heping's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Heping! My home is over at Nanluogu Lane. In order to catch the bus, I have to get up early every day. It is really inconvenient without a bicycle."

When Xiao Heping heard what Wu Aiguo said, he took the initiative and said: "Chief Wu! Please wait here for a while. I will help you go to the counter to ask. If not, you have to go to Section Chief Zhang."

, ask him to help you transfer goods from other places."

A few minutes later, Xiao Heping hurried back to the office and happily reported to Wu Aiguo: "Section Chief Wu! Our supply and marketing cooperative happens to have something in stock. It's a Phoenix brand bicycle. The price is 198 yuan."

"Section Chief Zhang said that this bicycle has been reserved by Director Song of the textile factory. Since you want it, he will give it to you first!"

When Wu Aiguo learned that the supply and marketing cooperative had stocks in stock, he quickly stood up from his desk and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the counter and have a look."

Wu Aiguo and Xiao Heping soon arrived at the counter. When Zhang Beiping saw Wu Aiguo, he immediately stepped forward and asked Wu Aiguo enthusiastically: "Aiguo! I heard from Xiao, do you want to buy something?"

a bicycle?"

Wu Aiguo heard Zhang Beiping's inquiry and introduced with a smile: "Chief Zhang! My family lives over there in Tongluogu Lane, and the bus from our supply and marketing cooperative only leaves every half an hour!"

"In order to ensure that I am not late for work, I now have to get up an hour earlier every day. If it happens once or twice, there is no problem, but if it happens all year round, no one can stand it."

"Just when I came back from my job, the head of the army gave me a bicycle ticket, so I thought about buying a bicycle to travel around."

When Zhang Beiping heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, he smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! I happened to reserve one here for Director Song of the textile factory. Since you want it, I will give it to you first!"

"Give me the money and the ticket, and I will arrange for someone to help you, issue the ticket, and send it back to you after the police station stamp is stamped."

When Wu Aiguo heard Zhang Beiping's words, he quickly took out the money and bicycle tickets from his pocket, smiled and thanked: "Chief Zhang! I'm sorry to trouble you."
