When my daughter is admitted to university, the teacher must be invited.

The family has not been lively for many years, and her mother's family is here, Wu Xiulan decided to invite her relatives and friends, unit leaders and neighbors who have helped the Zhang family over the years.

In these years, the hospitality is nothing more than chicken, duck and fish, and I don't go to a restaurant, and I don't have the economic conditions, so I basically do it myself.

Zhang Bing went to the river to buy fish, and Wu Xiaozhu took his aunt's haode list to the black market to buy it. Zhang Lin, the protagonist, is not idle, so many guests need her and her mother to come to the door one by one, and after coming back, she has to help work with her grandmother, aunt, aunt and aunt.

The east family borrows a stool, the west family borrows a table, and even the dishes and chopsticks need to be borrowed......

On a hot day, it's much cooler in the yard than in the house. After two days of busy work, with the enthusiastic help of Aunt Zhang and other neighbors, seven tables were set up in the courtyard.

Salted shrimp, braised pig's head meat, Songhua egg, cucumber, fried peanuts, tomatoes with sugar, stir-fried meat with green pepper, scrambled eggs with leeks, braised chicken nuggets, braised lion's head...... Six cold and six hot four bowls, the table is full, and it looks like that.

Nanbin Daqu, Ocean Flower Beer, and orange water wholesaled directly from the cold drink factory are available in unlimited quantities, and even Hong Kong-made Liangyou brought four bars.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the guests arrived one after another.

Ding Aiguo and Chen Shikang, who came from Shazhou at noon, were like half masters, standing at the door with Zhang Lin to receive guests.

The charter took her grandmother out and asked her to sit at a table with her grandparents in a borrowed rattan chair. The school teachers were accompanied by Ding Aiguo, the leaders of the district power supply bureau of the mother's unit were accompanied by Chen Shikang, and even Zhang Shuren had to help greet the aunts and aunts of the neighborhood committee.

"Linlin has today, it is inseparable from the care and help of all teachers, here I represent her sacrificial father, a glass to all teachers, I did it, you are free!"

Ding Aiguo drank it all, and everyone realized that the teachers at the middle table were today's guest of honor, and they also went over to toast with cups one after another, and even the eldest and second uncles came over to thank them.

There are many guests, and every table is full, not to mention that Wu Xiulan wants to stir-fry, even if she doesn't stir-fry, there is no place to sit.

But it doesn't matter, she is happier than anyone else when the guests eat and drink well.

After Zuihou finished a soup, as soon as the charter and Zhang Bing were served on the table, Ding Aiguo and Chen Shikang invited her to everyone left and right: "Teachers and teachers, relatives and friends, and neighbors, all say that the clouds are open and the moon is bright, now Xiaohui is working in the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone, Xiaolin is admitted to university, and the three children can also support themselves, and it is not easy to pull the three children up with hard work!" Today, no matter what, I want to represent our sacrificial comrade-in-arms Comrade Zhang Yuanchao, a cup of salute to Xiulan's sister-in-law, do you say it should be? ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes! ”

was caught off guard, Wu Xiulan was a little at a loss, and shook her head again and again: "I...... I...... I don't drink. ”

Aunt Zhang followed and coaxed: "Xiulan, today is a big day, you have to drink if you don't know how to drink." ”

Talk and laugh, you respect me, I respect you, and it has been making trouble until late at night.

The ferry was suspended at night, and Chen Shikang's family could only go back tomorrow. Ding Aiguo of course wanted to do his best to be a landlord, and he would send them to a traffic hotel with the charter to live in everything.

Life experiences are different, and Chen Shikang was still a big soldier when he and his father Zhang Yuanchao were in the same company. Now he is the general manager of the Shazhou County Tobacco Company and the director of the tobacco monopoly bureau.

Looking at the starry sky in the night sky, Ding Aiguo sighed: "Shikang, I remember that when I went to the Second Company to see the aid to Korea, your kid only enlisted in the army, and now he is already in the right department, and he is still in the real job, and it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves." ”

In front of him, Chen Shikang was not qualified to put on a leader's shelf, so he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Old leader, can the tobacco company be compared with the Public Security Bureau?" What's more, I'm in the county, and you're in the city, so don't make fun of me anymore. ”

"Don't be modest in front of me, no matter how powerful the Public Security Bureau is, it can't help San'er, it's shameful to think about it!"

There is no doubt that he was referring to his own approval of cigarettes in the charter.

Chen Shikang glanced at each other with the charter and said with a smile: "Old leader, it's not so much that I help San'er, it's better to say that San'er is helping me." What do tobacco companies rely on...... Rely on economic benefits, now the tobacco market in Shazhou is in a mess, so many state-run stores have their own doors, tobacco monopoly has become a joke, if it weren't for San'er to help me bring hundreds of boxes every month, whether the task can be completed or not. ”

Ding Aiguo nodded slightly, and said casually: "Since this is the case, then I won't say anything." I'll keep an eye on the city tobacco company, and there should be no problem until the tobacco inspection is formed. ”

One opens the back door to approve cigarettes, and the other acts as a protective umbrella, isn't this the most hated collusion between officials and businessmen in the previous life? Thinking about this, the charter feels so ironic.

"That's right, San'er," Chen Shikang seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice: "When I went to the city company for a meeting the day before yesterday, I heard some rumors that Huang Guihua was going to adjust the price at the end of this month. This factor must be taken into account when the manager collects the deposit, and don't lose all your money at that time. ”

Prices have been rising in the past few months, and in order to prevent Zhang Bing and Wu Xiaozhu from being idle, the charter also deliberately drew a price chart of rice, brown sugar, pork, edible oil, and other non-staple foods on the wall of the warehouse on a three-day basis, so that they could mark the prices they heard outside every day, so as to more intuitively grasp the extent of inflation.

At this time, the price adjustment could only go up and not down, and the charter realized that this was an opportunity, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Chen, if I only enter the yellow osmanthus now, how many boxes can you give me?" ”

Chen Shikang didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately reminded: "San'er, whether it will be up or down, and I don't even know whether it is adjusted or not, don't be confused." ”

"Uncle Chen, I'm very sober and won't be confused, in fact, even if you don't say it, I'm going to start stocking up on cigarettes this month. After all, the price of goods has risen too outrageously to allow the hard-earned money to depreciate. ”

It's not easy to get up early and make some money, Ding Aiguo didn't want him to lose all his money, so he blurted out: "San'er, prices are rising, but it's not as exaggerated as you say, right?" ”

If they don't convince them, this cigarette will definitely not come back, and in desperation, the charter simply invited the two to the warehouse, pointed to the wall and said: "Uncle Ding, Uncle Chen, this is the price chart of rice, brown sugar, pork, edible oil and salt, the red one is the state price, and the black one is the bargaining price, although the amplitude is different, but they are all rising." ”

Ding Aiguo first paid attention to the national pricing and the black market price, and when he saw the difference between the red line and the black line, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "It is said that one billion people are 900 million, and there are still 100 million to look for, which seems to be not bad at all. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

The charter explained while the iron was hot: "You see, this is the number that my second sister helped to count a week ago. In the past three months, the price of these non-staple foods has risen by as much as 6.3 percent, and what is the interest rate on five-year bank deposits? In other words, the 800 yuan pension that my mother deposited in the bank is only equivalent to 749 yuan and 6 cents three months ago. Of course, banks also have interest, but even if interest is included, it is still shrinking, not to mention that prices are still rising. ”

A group of children actually made such a thing, Chen Shikang was stunned, and after a long while, he turned around and asked, "San'er, why are you interested in these?" ”

"It's not that I'm interested, but I can't help it," he pointed to the next room and said with a wry smile: "Chen Bing and Xiaozhu are not highly educated, and they can't find formal jobs, and being able to sell cigarettes now doesn't mean that they can sell cigarettes in the future, so I have to teach them how to do business in this way, even if they don't work with me in the future, they can support themselves."

The half-grown child also taught others, Ding Aiguo was happy, and quipped: "What about yourself?" ”

The charter raised his head and boasted unashamedly: "I am smarter than them, and I am more studious than them." ”

"You can, but these pictures are kind of interesting."

"Uncle Ding, does this mean that you agree with my judgment on the future price trend and agree with me to hoard a batch of cigarettes?"

Ding Aiguo gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "The money is in your pocket, and you earn it, do I agree that it works?" ”

After passing one level and another level, the charter turned around and pleaded with anticipation: "Uncle Chen......"

"Is 300 boxes enough?"

"Can you give me some more?"

"Five hundred boxes, no more," Chen Shikang paused, and added: "It's not that Uncle doesn't help, but the risk is too great, Uncle doesn't want to see you lose all your money." ”

The charter counted the funds at hand, and said eagerly: "Uncle Chen, five hundred boxes is too little, and it is not enough to get it back, I want at least one thousand two hundred boxes." As for the risks...... You don't have to worry about me at all, even if I lose all my money, I still have a way to make a comeback. ”

Thinking that he also had a wealthy Hong Kong brother-in-law, Ding Aiguo said casually: "Shikang, 1,200 boxes is 1,200 boxes, give it to him!" ”

Crazy, all crazy, Chen Shikang blurted out: "Old leader, do you know how much 1,200 boxes cost?" ”

In the past, smoking was all about buying cigarettes, but later he never bought cigarettes again, Ding Aiguo had this concept in his heart, and asked with a puzzled face: "How much is 1,200 boxes worth?" ”

"The wholesale price is 66,000 yuan, and you can't get out of the warehouse if you don't have a penny."

My wife followed behind and made four or five thousand dollars by pounding foreign exchange, selling cigarettes and pounding foreign exchange coupons, and the charter had at least 100,000 yuan in hand. Thinking that he only took out half of the bet on the price of yellow osmanthus to rise, even if the price dropped, he would not lose much, Ding Aiguo suddenly hahadaxiao: "Isn't it just 60,000 six, San'er can take it." ”
