Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

The seventh day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar is auspicious.

Early in the morning, the second state-owned canteen became busy, but a sign saying it was closed for one day was hung at the door.

Today is Wang Weidong's wedding day. As the head chef of the No. 2 state-owned canteen, he has this reputation.

Director Yao was entrusted with the important task of collecting gifts.

A table was set up at the door of the cafeteria. When guests came, they would write their names in calligraphy.

Although the original owner is a bitch, he is still a very good person and likes to help others, so there are many guests.

In this era, the gift money in Ningzhou City was basically six yuan, and the few who gave ten yuan were all relatives of the Liu family.

However, there are exceptions, such as He Wenhui who is standing in front of the table.

She took out twenty yuan from her pocket, put it on the table, and whispered: "Director Yao, please remember it."

The appearance of He Wenhui put Director Yao in trouble.

He knew that the girl's name was He Wenhui, and he also knew that the twenty yuan she handed over was a gift.

but.

He Wenhui is Liu Hongchang's ex-wife. There is only one possibility for his ex-wife to attend her ex-husband's wedding.

That's just here to cause trouble!

Director Yao's face suddenly changed when he thought of this, and he couldn't help but cough slightly.

Liuzi, who was receiving guests behind him, heard the sound and turned his head to look over, and saw He Wenhui at a glance.

I cried out in my heart: Damn it, something bad is going on!

If He Wenhui makes a scene at the wedding banquet, the Second Canteen will become famous and the chef will lose his face.

Today, in addition to the relatives and friends of the Liu family and Liu Hongchang's friends, there are also some leaders, especially the manager of the aquatic products company, who cannot be offended.

Thinking of this, Liuzi couldn't stand any longer. He walked over quickly and decided to sacrifice his life to stand out.

"Oh, isn't this Wen Hui? I haven't seen you for a few days, but things are getting better than before. Today is the master's wedding day. If the master knows that you are coming, he will definitely be very happy. But there are many people in the venue right now.

He has to entertain guests and cannot come out to greet you in person."

He Wenhui knew Liuzi's thoughts and smiled bitterly: "Liuzi, you are still so good at talking. Sister knows what you are thinking, but don't worry, I am not here to cause trouble today, and I will not enter the venue. I just want to be the first."

Gift, wish, wish him happiness..."

As he spoke, He Wenhui's nose felt a little sore and tears burst out. She couldn't speak any more, so she covered her mouth and ran away.

Seeing her disappearing at the end of the road, Director Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People just don't know how to cherish. When they lose, it's too late to regret!"

He Wenhui's appearance was just a minor incident. After Wang Weidong found out, he didn't care.

The wedding banquet was held in a lively manner. This time, the second dining hall also spent a lot of money, and the tables were filled with hard dishes.

Braised fish, Dongpo elbow spicy shrimp, braised pork with pickled vegetables, saliva chicken....

To buy so much meat, money is second, and the main reason is that tickets are hard to come by.

Nowadays, when young people get married, their work units will also approve some vouchers, but it is far from enough.

That is to say, Wang Weidong can rely on the mountain to live on. The Second Canteen has meat tickets allocated by the superiors every month, otherwise it would be really hard to get enough.

The wine at the wedding banquet was Laofen wine. Wang Weidong originally planned to use Maotai, but gave up after careful consideration.

First of all, the taste of Moutai is actually not as good as Laofen liquor.

Secondly, Maotai is too famous. Although he is qualified as a head chef, his level is still not high enough. Using Maotai to entertain guests is really too eye-catching.

If you are stabbed by someone with bad intentions, you will not be able to escape the punishment.

Although Wang Weidong does not drink on weekdays, he has a large capacity for drinking. Anyway, he can pour the wine into the space warehouse while the wine glass is brought to his mouth.

Therefore, we have been able to achieve a thousand cups without pouring.

The comrades in the aquatic products company were also old drunkards. Seeing Wang Weidong drinking one cup after another, they also had the idea of ​​​​competing.

"Hong Chang, today is your special day, let's drink a double happiness first."

"Come on, come on, make a fortune all year round!"

....

Wang Weidong naturally didn't hold back on them, and poured cup after cup into his stomach, leaving Manager Liu Hong stunned.

"Okay, you are a hero in wine!"

As he spoke, he took out a coupon from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Weidong's pocket:

"Next time, when those Northeastern guests come, I will definitely invite you to accompany them.

You don't know, they are so good at drinking.

This TV ticket should be regarded as a reward given to you in advance."

TV tickets?

Wang Weidong was overjoyed. He was so sleepy that he gave him a pillow.

If you are suffering from boring nightlife these days, someone will give you TV tickets.

Television sets are a rarity these days, and most working-class families don’t even have one.

Wang Weidong was not polite, patted Liu Hong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Manager Liu, that's quite interesting. Don't worry, next time those comrades from the Northeast come, I will definitely let them come one by one, one by one!

"

Of course, Wang Weidong would not think that Liu Hong gave away such precious TV tickets just because he asked him to accompany him for a drink.

In the final analysis, it is still about wanting to have a relationship with Du Shengyuan and getting cucumbers from his own hands.

"That's what we said! By the way, do you still have cucumbers there?"

"Yes, does anyone else want it? If your brother wants it, then you must have it!"

The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled, both seeing what the other had in mind.

A grand wedding banquet ended in great excitement. As Xi's mother-in-law, Da Lanzi saw Wang Weidong and Yang Maixiang standing at the door to see off the guests, and the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist.

Yang Maixiang is still sensible. She said yesterday that all the wedding gifts will go to Da Lanzi.

But can Dalanzi get this money? No!

He said on the spot that he would use the money as starting capital for the young couple.

Although he didn't ask for money, Da Lanzi's heart was warm.

The fact that Yang Maixiang can do this shows that she respects her mother-in-law and that she regards the Liu family as her own.

It's not like that bunch of white-eyed wolves in the He family who took away all the gift money last time.

The only wish now is that Yang Maixiang gets pregnant as soon as possible so that the Liu family can continue the family lineage.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After seeing off the guests, I helped clean up the banquet site. It was already dusk.

Yang Maixiang was chatting with Yang's mother. Liu Hongchang was just about to slip out to sprinkle water when he was pulled by Director Yao.

"Hong Chang, come here for a moment."

"What's wrong? You're sneaky."

"Oh, keep your voice down, don't let Mai Xiang hear it."

Director Yao looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered: "He Wenhui is also here today to hand over the gift, which is still twenty yuan."

"Who? He Wenhui?" Wang Weidong rubbed his ears to make sure he heard correctly, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

"Why didn't I see her?"

"She handed over the gift and left." Director Yao looked at Wang Weidong meaningfully and said, "Yang Maixiang is a good girl. You are not allowed to do something like that."

"What are you thinking! Am I, Liu Hongchang, that kind of person?" Of course Wang Weidong can't do that. No matter how beautiful He Wenhui is, who can stand the white-eyed wolves in her family?

Wang Weidong frowned and thought of another thing. He wanted to show Yang Maixiang the gift list so that he could repay the favor in the future.

He stared at Director Yao and said, "Brother Yao, did you write He Wenhui's name on the gift list?"

"No, no, how could I be that stupid?" Director Yao smiled and said, "I'm just giving you a heads up."

"clear!"

Wang Weidong turned around and left. Since He Wenhui's name was not on the gift list, let's just pretend it didn't happen!

As for the gift money, the He family owed Liu Hongchang more than two thousand yuan, and a mere twenty yuan was nothing.

Wang Weidong didn't want to speculate on He Wenhui's thoughts. He didn't have that free time now.

...

After the wedding banquet, Wang Weidong took Yang Maixiang to the largest department store in Ningzhou City.

The original name of the department store was Ningzhou First Department Store, but after so many years, there was no second department store, so Ningzhou City called it department store.

Unlike supply and marketing cooperatives that sell groceries, the goods sold here are relatively high-end items.

For example, Doliang fabrics, TV sets, Northeastern furs, ginseng, etc.

The items are of high quality and the prices are naturally not low. More importantly, special tickets are required to buy these items.

Therefore, ordinary employees cannot come at all.

Entering the department store, the ladies who were eating melon seeds just looked up, then lowered their heads and started chattering.

Although Wang Weidong and Yang Maixiang are wearing brand new clothes today, they are not Mao Zedong suits with four pockets, so there is no need to treat them warmly.

It was also the first time for Yang Maixiang to come to a department store. She seemed very curious and wandered around.

It soon aroused the dissatisfaction of a saleswoman.

"Girl, this is fabric from Yangcheng, don't touch it!"

"Ah~ I'm sorry, I'm just curious." Yang Maixiang was scolded and lowered her head in grievance.

Wang Weidong next to him was unhappy and said with a smile: "Comrade, what you said is that you can't choose when buying things?"

"I just can't choose! What do you do?" The saleswoman was also arrogant, her eyes widened and she was about to quarrel with Wang Weidong.

"Okay, you're so cool, let's go buy a TV."

When Wang Weidong came to this era, he had seen many such people, relying on the little power they had in their hands to brag and glare at the masses.

There is no need to argue with such people.

But the saleswoman wasn't happy anymore. She ran out of the counter and grabbed Wang Weidong's clothes: "Hey, eh, comrade, why are you talking so much, why am I so arrogant?

You just looked over this cloth. If you don’t want to buy it, come out with the money and the cloth ticket!

Wang Weidong was stunned, good guy, there is such a blackmailer, it's really a knife in the butt - it opened his eyes.

Yang Maixiang was not that weak-tempered, so she immediately pulled away the saleswoman's hand and said, "Are you still being unreasonable? We just took a look at it twice and then bought it? I've looked at you over and over again, am I right?

Can I take you home to be my mother?"

When the saleswoman heard this, she was so angry that she almost twitched away: "What are you talking about, girl! To tell you the truth, if you don't buy these two pieces of cloth today, you won't even think about leaving!"

Only then did Wang Weidong notice that the two batches of cloth pointed to by the salesperson were earthy green and the texture seemed to be a little messed up. A lot of dust had fallen on them, which showed that they had been stored here for a long time and they should be defective products that could not be sold.

It seems that I am not being targeted for no reason, the other party wants me to help them get rid of the unfinished goods.

Isn’t this clearly bullying!

Of course Wang Weidong quit, and Yang Maixiang got even more angry and started arguing loudly with the saleswoman.

Soon these people attracted the attention of customers and other sales staff, and they gathered around them.

Seeing more and more people, the saleswoman regretted a little.

Just as Wang Weidong thought, these two pieces of cloth were the last items of the department store. If they could be sold at the original price, the salesperson would get additional rewards.

When the saleswoman saw that Wang Weidong and Yang Maixiang were honest people who were unassuming, she thought that honest people were easy to bully, so she took this step.

Who would have thought that both of them would accept the soft rather than the tough, and they would not accept the soft at all.

Wang Weidong felt happy when he saw that there were more people.

No matter what age you are in, you have to be reasonable, right?

He turned to face the crowd, pointed at the two pieces of cloth and said: "Everyone is here to comment. My partner and I came to buy something. We just took a look at these two pieces of cloth, and this aunt asked us to buy the cloth. This is not

Forced buying and selling! Also, you guys can take a look. These cloths have been hanging here for who knows how long. They must be defective products. Is it a bad conscience to sell such things to customers? "

The masses were already dissatisfied with department store salespeople, but upon hearing Wang Weidong's words, they all agreed.

"That's right, how can you just look at it and let someone else buy it?"

"I see, this aunt is blackmailing people!"

"Well, what can we do? We only have a department store like this in Ningzhou. If we were in the capital, how dare she be so arrogant?"

....

Inside the store, there was a lot of noise and excitement, and two cars drove up quietly outside.

The car stopped on the street in front of the department store. A middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit got out of the car, quickly ran to the car behind and helped open the door.

"Director Li, slow down, don't hit your head."

The middle-aged man, who was called Director Li, got off the car and stood below, looking up at the majestic department store.

He smiled and said, "Guangshan, you have kept the department store in good order over the years. After this inspection, you should also make progress."

"Hey, Director Li, I accept your auspicious words. As you know, I, Liu Guangshan, am a dedicated person no matter where I work." Liu Guangshan, the director of the department store, narrowed his eyes with joy.

He stretched out his hand to hold Director Li's arm and said with a smile: "Director, please, let's go on inspection now."

Director Li patted him on the shoulder: "I can rest assured that you are doing things. Your department store is a flag of our Ningzhou City. Inspections like this can be avoided, but you also know that this is a necessary procedure.

"

After speaking, he turned back to look at his fellow inspectors and said, "Comrades, you must conduct inspections with a serious and responsible attitude later. We must be responsible to the department store and the people of Ningzhou."

"Understood!" The three inspectors took out notebooks and pens from their pockets.

Seeing this emotion, Liu Guangshan sighed in his heart. Director Li was really an old fox. He spoke grandly but showed no mercy at all.

However, he is not worried. The department store is fully prepared for this inspection.
