Chapter 90: Gifts and Gifts

The head of the milk station was very happy after buying the black and white TV, so he took the initiative to give Hong Yanwu an idea and said, "With your family's conditions, it will definitely not be enough, and it will be useless to order more." Vertex is the fastest update, but as long as you have a household registration book, I can give you a bottle of one account. No, you can borrow someone else's account to order milk. ”

In this way, Hong Yanwu traveled in a row, and the four households in the east courtyard, the Chen family in the west courtyard, and the Shui family each had an additional milk ordering index in their household registers. Every morning, the milkman begins to pour milk into the milk crates at the entrance of the two courtyards of Guanyin Yuan to collect the bottles.

This is equivalent to the children of the Shui family, Uncle Bian and the "bells" of the Ding family are all stained with light, and the Su tailor is purely a contribution index.

For this, Hong Yanwu's eldest brother can't compete with Hong Yanwu anymore.

It's not his own business to eat other people's mouths. As long as his parents, sister, wife, and son can drink a bowl of milk every day, he has to endure it when he sees the third child unpleasant. No matter what, you can't ignore this benefit.

And the neighbors are also very grateful, and they all say that Hong Yanwu has done a great thing for everyone.

Especially when I went home to see the child's Shui Qing on the weekend, I was even more moved after learning about it from Aunt Shui'er's mouth.

She couldn't sit still at home at all, so she found the Chen family to thank Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. And two cigarettes were delivered.

Hong Yanwu knew that Shui Qing was no better than those who had a job and went to college with a salary. Like her second brother, she only has a state subsidy of 20 yuan and 35 catties of food stamps every month, and after the school deducts 16 yuan from the food fee, there is only 4 yuan left every month. Naturally, I was embarrassed to accept her gift.

He said that the neighbors in the street don't need to be so polite, and it's not good for the neighbors in the East Courtyard to know. I got it, but he couldn't accept it, so as not to be too careful.

How do you know that Shui Qing said that she was not only for the matter of ordering milk, but also for the things that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan hung at the door before, and for them to believe in her innocence and speak for her. If she didn't accept it, she wouldn't even be embarrassed to order milk.

It can be seen that this eldest sister next door is such a clear person, not to say it or not, she knows everything in her heart.

It is also a virtue to avoid knots in people's hearts. Since Shui Qing's words came to this, Hong Yanwu really accepted it. But he also had a special gift in return.

What is it?

Book!

It turned out that at that time, Wangfujing Dongdan Ertiao had an "internal distribution group" of Xinhua Bookstore.

Inside, there are not only the "gray book" (political book), the "yellow book" (literary monograph), and the "white paper" (specially printed for the former leader's wife Huhai), which cannot be seen outside, but also the interior decoration is also very magnificent.

The lobby is covered with a thick carpet, pale green curtains on the windows, a large sofa for resting, and flowers and plants.

As for the salesperson, there is only one girl, she is very beautiful, but her service attitude is really arrogant.

To put it bluntly, this is actually the so-called in-house bookstore, which is dedicated to high-ranking officials to buy books.

According to the regulations, only cadres at or above the provincial military level are allowed to set foot in this place, and they need to have their book cards and letters of introduction inspected before they can enter. But the regulations are regulations, and from a practical point of view, it is inevitable that many ** will come here to buy books with their parents' library cards.

"Sugar Heart" had already seen Hong Yanwu's greed, and when he had the opportunity, he took out the pocket of a book buyer and got a letter of introduction from the Henan Provincial Propaganda Department.

As a result, on the same day, Hong Yanwu spent 400 yuan on this thing and bought six stacks of them.

Afterwards, half of him was sent to Chang Xianzhang's house, which was regarded as making up for some of the mistakes of the year. The other half, he stayed by his side to pass the time with Chen Liquan. I also plan to show my second brother after the summer vacation.

It just so happened that Shui Qing definitely needed it, so he naturally took out some for her to take back to see.

This is undoubtedly the best gift for the readers of this era. And it was expensive and difficult to buy books at that time, Shui Qing was both surprised and happy about this, and was a little impressed by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

But there's a follow-up here.

After taking the book back, Shui Qing, who was grateful, probably felt that he was lighter. Two days later, I brought them a few teacup covers and keychains in the style of little goldfish.

This is a kind of handmade that was both decorative and recreational in those days. It has just begun to become popular in society, and the material is glass filament for a penny. But let many people old and young get up early and practice their crafts greedily at night.

Teacup sleeves made of glass wire are the most common size of canned bottles. With it, it is not hot to the hands, and it is very practical.

Therefore, after the popularization, almost all workplaces will have glass glasses on their desks, and use different colors to distinguish each other. This is also a scene of the year.

The most difficult to compile is undoubtedly the keychain of the little goldfish. But once it is made up and brought to life, it is both beautiful and eye-catching, which is enough to make the owner feel a little proud.

This feeling is no exception even for young lads, after all, it shows to some extent that there is a clever woman around him.

Although in most cases, it's either a mother or a sister, and it's not a girlfriend at all. But who cares? As long as you don't say anything, there is light on your face.

Hong Yanwu really didn't expect Shui Qing to learn so early. And the craftsmanship is still not picky.

Just by these few things, you can know at a glance.

He couldn't refuse this intention, but after thinking about it, didn't his sister Hong Yanru and Su Xiu want to learn to make little goldfish? I just had a look, so I happily accepted it.

It's just that he didn't expect that this gadget was brought on his body, and it fell in the eyes of "Sugar Heart" that day, but it attracted this girl with many eyes.

"Sugar Heart" asked him what was going on at first glance, and heard that it was a gift from a neighbor's eldest sister, but he didn't say much at the time. Just a few days later, she made up a small goldfish and a green grasshopper and gave them to Hong Yanwu. He had to choose one to tie to the key.

As for these two little things made by "Sugar Heart", Hong Yanwu was shocked when he saw it.

Dare to love is actually mixed with gold thread. The eyes of the two objects are also made of agate stone.

Not to mention that the difficulty of compilation has increased several times, and the materials are not much higher, and the appearance of the gnats is absolutely not available on the market, and it is the only one in the world!

Hong Yanwu quickly understood what was going on, and hurriedly obeyed the order, and asked for the green grasshopper himself, leaving the little goldfish to Chen Liquan. and praised it without hesitation, turning "Sugar Heart" into joy, so that this little turmoil could quietly become invisible.

But afterwards, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but have a fun behind his back.

Because he really didn't expect that "Sugar Heart" would be jealous of this little thing, and he would be so competitive.

Can her hands be comparable to ordinary people? They are really childish.

But I don't know why, playing with the green grasshopper she made, his heart is faintly sweet......

In addition to Hong Yanwu's neighbors, there is also a person who also belongs to the indirect beneficiaries of electrical indicators.

This person is none other than Zhao Qing, who delivers eggs to Hong Yanwu every month.

Why? Actually, it's not because of the eggs.

In the past, Hong Yanwu asked for 200 eggs, because he was afraid that they would be too many and they would be broken.

And after the Feng family lost contact and Director Chang came back, the Feng family's share was transferred to the Chang family. In this way, it is counted to send the longevity family. The Hong family can also have a hundred eggs left every month, and the family of nine eats them, so the number is still far behind.

Fortunately, now that I have a refrigerator, it is very useful. Naturally, you can ask for more.

But the 2nd of this month is Sunday. Zhao Qing didn't come for the first week, he only came to the door for the second week.

For this, the young man apologized as soon as he entered the door. Claiming that there is something at home and being delayed by a moment of negligence is really undeserved. He also said that he had brought 20 more eggs as compensation for his dishonesty.

Hong Yanwu can understand this point, and it is understandable, but this cannot be regarded as a no-show. In addition, on a hot day, he also knew that this young man was not easy, so naturally he would not be greedy for the cheap of these twenty eggs.

So not only did he not blame, but also said that from next month, Zhao Qing would send 400 eggs every month.

This great news really made Zhao Qing very happy. It's just that his character is really good, and he doesn't just want to gain himself.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't agree, but persuaded him with good words, saying that the weather was so hot that the eggs couldn't be stopped. I'm afraid it will be bad to ask for so many at once, and I hope Hong Yanwu will carefully consider the number. He also suggested that the current two hundred, if it was not too bothering, he could send them twice a month.

This kindness fully won Hong Yanwu's favor. He didn't say that he had a refrigerator, but told Zhao Qing that he wanted eggs to be distributed to relatives and friends. In this way, Zhao Qing was also relieved.

But that's not the end of the story.

Zhao Qing then took the initiative to tell Hong Yanwu that since the eggs needed so much, he was very affectionate to take care of his business so much. So in terms of egg prices, he is willing to drop one point each more.

The current price is one dime and two a piece, don't look at a penny is not much, but the number is a lot, and the four hundred eggs can be cheaper for four yuan. Besides, the peasants only have a few dollars in their hands? This is already a very difficult task for Zhao Qing.

This benevolence and righteousness was a big surprise to Hong Yanwu.

Seriously. If you want to put it aside, the housewife will definitely take advantage of this. But who is Hong Yanwu?

In fact, this year is not only "playing the master", many gentlemen in the capital have a characteristic, that is, light money and righteousness, and they are more energetic and righteous.

To explain it in layman's terms, that is, to eat soft and not hard. The more you treat me, the better I treat you. The more you fight, the more I have to fight you.

If you substitute it into real life, the good thing is that you would rather suffer a loss than a friend. On the bad side, because of a little thing, you may be able to hold a grudge with others for a lifetime.

This is the so-called "Ye Jiner" in the old saying in Beijing.

Although he has lived for a lifetime, Hong Yanwu's temperament has long existed in this kind of spontaneous factor. And with his economic conditions, he is by no means a swollen face and a fat man, he really feels that Zhao Qing is not a many.

So as soon as he was happy today, he also told Zhao Qing.

"No, I know that chickens don't like to lay eggs when it's hot. It's not easy for you on such a hot day. If you want me to say, from now on, we will pay the price of wax month, one dime and five a dime. Don't shirk, your eggs are indeed good. If you don't cheat me, I'm happy to let you earn more. So be it. If you don't follow me, I don't want you anymore......"

Zhao Qing saw that Hong Yanwu had no alcohol in his mouth, and when it came to this, it was sincere.

Yes, I met such a good customer. What else can he do? If you can't say a few more words, then you can get it.

That's it, after Zhao Qing thanked him repeatedly, he put down two hundred and twenty eggs, and happily took thirty-three yuan and left.

In fact, if you want to look at it today, a tug-of-war like this for doing business, it is definitely two fools bargaining. Or maybe they all said that the people back then were not smart!

But the words are spoken at both ends. Nowadays, people have become smarter, but how can they be deceived and confused when they buy things, but there are more things?

Therefore, it is really difficult to summarize what is stupid and what is smart.

After all, there is something in this, which is something that all living beings can't figure out.
