Chapter 34: Looking for Trouble
Everything that seems reasonable is just appearances.
What Song Yiran is best at is to see the essence of things through appearances.
For example, the relationship between Li Xingsheng and Li Xigui, and the wrestling between Gao Dashan and Li Xingsheng.
"I said this all to Chai Xiaofen! I didn't expect her to come, so I wanted to attack Shen Xiuying, but I didn't expect God to help, with Chai Xiaofen, things can go more smoothly. ”
Zhao Xiaodong still didn't quite understand, "What are you going to do!?"
"Auntie, didn't I talk about dividing the meat, and I also talked about saving the cows!"
Zhao Xiaodong nodded, "Yes, but does this have anything to do with what you have to do?"
"Of course there is!" Song Yiran said: "Chai Xiaofen's mind is no worse than Gao Dashan, you can see how she usually behaves, although this woman has not been to school for a few days, she is smooth and thoughtful." Half of Gao Dashan's prestige in the village was established by Chai Xiaofen for him! So, when I talk about saving cattle and collective property today, I am beating Chai Xiaofen, and after she goes back, she will definitely tell Gao Dashan about it, maybe, not only can I get more meat, but I can also get some prizes or something, after all, I have protected the collective property!"
In fact, these days, people pay more attention to honor, and the so-called prizes are nothing more than enamel jars and white towels, and Song Yiran doesn't care about that thing at all.
She is going to pull Gao Dashan to fight Li Xingsheng in the ring.
Gao Dashan will be persuaded by Chai Xiaofen, and he will definitely be afraid. Li Xingsheng hated me to the bone, and when he saw Gao Dashan acting like this, he would definitely be angry, and even clearly oppose Gao Dashan. The two of them have long had a grudge, and as long as Li Xingsheng works against Gao Dashan, he will definitely take care of one and lose the other. When people are busy, they will make mistakes in their busyness, and when the time comes, we will find out about him and Wang Lianhua......"
Song Yiran didn't say the latter words. But Zhao Xiaodong is not stupid, she understands.
After the matter of Li Xingsheng and Wang Lianhua is found out, Gao Dashan will inevitably take advantage of the situation to beat the dog and squeeze out Li Xingsheng, an old rival for many years.
In this way, she and Gao Dashan are temporarily in a cooperative relationship.
Zhao Xiaodong couldn't help but say: "You, you have a great move!"
Song Yiran laughed twice, "Come on, I'm also here to protect myself, I can't help it." "Besides, Gao Dashan is a person who thinks he is too high, except for Li Xingsheng, he can do that in the Daqingshan production team.
Hmph, let's cooperate for the time being!
Song Yiran knows the direction of time, and naturally knows that the future days can only get better and better.
"Auntie, we also bought a lot of things before, what are you buying today?" There is white flour, meat, oil, and new clothes at home, and there is no shortage of daily necessities, so there is really nothing to buy.
Zhao Xiaodong was very interested, "Let's go shopping! You haven't been here before, so you just happened to see the excitement." ”
Song Xiaoran chuckled, to be honest, she had seen all kinds of prosperous people in the later generations, and although this town was new to her at the moment, she didn't think there was anything lively to see! There were only a few things in the consignment point, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads, books, stationery, clothing, shoes and hats, all kinds of daily necessities and small groceries.
Although she has never eaten pork, Song Yiran prides herself on being a person who has seen pigs run, and she can probably guess a few points of what the director of the supply and marketing company was like in the seventies.
I have to say that the most lively place in the town has to be the supply and marketing cooperative.
The current supply and marketing cooperatives are small brick and tile bungalows. In Song Yiran's eyes, such a house really can't be on the table, compared with the high-rise buildings and pavilions of later generations, this small house is simply a "dwarf", the frame is not high enough, the appearance is reluctant, the window and door cracks are not tight, it must be leaking everywhere.
But in the eyes of many people, this house is very magnificent, and the brick house is so good!
The words 'Serve the People' are written on the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives, which is the standard configuration of the national supply and marketing cooperatives. In this era of planned economy, you can't buy whatever you want, in addition to money, you also need tickets.
Thinking about it like this, Song Yiran was really a little interested, and followed Zhao Xiaodong into the supply and marketing cooperative.
The ground of the supply and marketing cooperatives is paved with old-fashioned handmade bricks, and the roof is a reed mat ceiling. The shop is full of wooden lattice goods, wooden glass counters, and old items such as ticket books, ballpoint pens, and abacus are placed on them.
Abacus is a thing that is difficult to see in later generations.
Song Yiran looked at the sign on the wall with great interest~ slogans, such as 'pick a lot and don't get tired of asking more questions', 'civilized business and polite hospitality' and the like.
It's funny!
The people have a smooth mouth, stethoscope steering wheel, personnel cadre salesman!
Salesperson is a popular profession, a regular job, but not everyone can do it. This is a good job that everyone envies, not only can the wind blow can't blow and the rain can't get wet, but it also gets a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, which is really jealous.
It is precisely because of this that individual salesmen feel very good about themselves, have no sense of serving the people at all, and are bullish all day long.
The textile counter is facing the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, and after Zhao Xiaodong and Song Yiran entered the supply and marketing cooperative, they naturally walked around in front of the counter.
At the end of the year, there were many people buying things, and both salespeople were too busy. Those who pulled cloths, tried on blouses, and bought shoes were all crowded in front of the counter, making a fuss.
Song Yiran asked Zhao Xiaodong, "Auntie, what do you want to buy, there are so many people, why don't we go and take a look elsewhere!"
"You see there's no yarn, I think it's fine. The ticket in my hand should be able to, I want to make a sweater, but I can't also wear a vest. ”
Song Yiran didn't care, and when he heard that Zhao Xiaodong really wanted to buy something, he stood honestly on the side, "Then I'll wait for you." ”
Zhao Xiaodong handed the basket to Song Yiran, squeezed into the crowd by herself, and finally squeezed to the counter, and she didn't know who pushed her, she lost her center of gravity, and lay on the counter in embarrassment.
Zhao Xiaodong startled Jiang Meili behind the counter.
"What are you doing? After you are full, you still live on the counter, and you can afford to pay for the toppling of this counter?" Jiang Meili has a very bad attitude, and she is a salesman who is bullish.
Zhao Xiaodong hurriedly apologized: "Comrade, I didn't mean to, I didn't stand firm." ”
"You can't lie down on the counter if you don't stand firm! We're busy, you're good, you're making trouble, aren't you?"
Zhao Xiaodong hurriedly smiled, "I'm here to buy something." "Zhao Xiaodong's personality is very pungent, but that is also because she is a widow~ woman, in order not to be bullied. In the face of a public family like Jiang Meili, she still lacks confidence, and at the same time she doesn't want to make trouble.
Song Yiran pushed away the crowd and walked in.
