【60】Go to the temple fair

Xiao Qiang, who was taken by the prime minister on vacation to recuperate at home, woke up from a full night's sleep, got up and went out, and started broadcasting gymnastics in the yard, "One-two-three-four, five-six-seven-eight, two-two-three-four, five-six-seven-eight." Xiao Qiang was panting and muttering the rhythm, and before he knew it, there were already three audience members standing under the corridor, all of whom were looking at him directly.

Dongzi looked at his chief stupidly, and said in his heart that this is not some kind of demon law, and the chief dances the god to drive away evil spirits? Chef Lao He felt that the chief couldn't pull Xiang, and hoped that he could eat more breakfast after the jump, and pressed down. Yu Feng pursed his lips vigorously, and his shoulders trembled with a secret smile.

Yu Feng understands that this must be some kind of fitness exercises, which I have taught in physical education classes in medical schools before, but it is completely different from the one done by Xiaoqiang, and it seems that this set done by Xiaoqiang is quite awkward. But it's normal for her to think so, what is called Xiaoqiang, a fat young man in the 21st century, looks awkward.

Lao He sent the red date porridge to Xiaoqiang's living room, put the pickles on the melon and went out, Xiaoqiang also knew that they couldn't let go of eating with themselves, so they simply ate the small stove alone in the room behind closed doors.

After eating, Xiaoqiang called Yu Feng and took Dongzi to the temple fair, he came to work in the northern capital of 1949 for so long, and he has not yet experienced the customs here, it is a pity, the driver Liu Zhen drove the car and took the three of them to the temple fair market in Huguo.

rushed to park the car near the market, and the drivers Liu Zhen and Dongzi were alert behind Xiaoqiang and Yu Feng. Xiaoqiang took care of himself and Yu Feng to drill into the market.

The Huguo temple fair is different from several other temple fairs in the northern capital, here are mainly small merchants and hawkers set up stalls, noisy and crowded, Xiaoqiang just walked here, he found a person who sells rock sugar gourds, bought a bunch for the big guy, and walked around the temple fair while eating.

At this time, it was nearly ten o'clock, groups of rural peasants rushing to the temple fair were walking back, they sold the few eggs, pigs, pigeons, baskets, rattan chairs and other agricultural and sideline products and handicrafts they brought at the temple fair, and they were ready to go home, they talked to each other in a bunch, the voice was very loud and rough, although New Year's Day passed, but this has nothing to do with the majority of Chinese. What everyone really cares about is that the Lunar New Year is coming, and looking at the green and bright flower cloth in the shops on the street, some big girls and little daughters-in-law can't move. Those simple and simple peasant girls, carrying the baskets that had been sold out on their backs, timidly pinched the meager children in the corners of their pockets, pretended to brush the scattered bangs and sideburns with their hands, stopped, looked at the flower cloth hanging high in the store, and imagined what this fabric would look like if it were made into a cover. About they have never worn such a beautiful foreign cloth in their lives, and then looked down at the white blue coarse cloth jacket washed on their bodies, and the single shoes with patches under their feet, thinking about the bottom of the noodle jar at home, the girls sensibly lowered their heads and bit their lips, and dragged the rattan basket behind them vigorously, and then looked at the flower cloth, and walked home with the legs and feet of the Zhuang family who had worked all their lives. The children are looking forward to the adults buying them a new pair of socks so that they can replace the pair of layers of soles on their feet that have been laughed at. The women in charge of the house think the most, the crockpot that has been used for more than ten years at home is cracked, should they buy a new one or find a tinker hoop to continue to use? The soap is long gone, isn't it gritting your teeth and exchanging the money from selling chickens for half a soap head? That wooden comb sells really cheaply, so I want to buy one for myself......

In this way, in front of the roadside stalls along the way, the grocery stores were full of people, everyone asked for the price, and all kinds of voices mixed with the noise over the market, and the smell mixed with the smell of the food stalls spread in the air in the street.

Xiaoqiang took everyone, ate the rock sugar gourd and ate the persimmons, bought the sesame shortbread and fell in love with the steamed cake, the amount of things this year is really enough, and the stomach of everyone was eaten halfway through, Xiaoqiang looked at the boiled meatballs in sugar water that he had not tasted, tofu and wild vegetable soup and other snacks in the old Beidu, he was really powerless.

After a trip to the temple fair, Xiaoqiang, a foodie, also understood what the situation was in China in this era, and there were no industrial products in the market for ordinary people, and cotton cloth and soap were considered industrial products? Well, even if it is, it's ridiculously expensive!

Not to mention anything else, just to make those simple and kind compatriots have two less patches on their bodies, the big girl has a floral cloth to wear in this life, the dolls have new socks and even new shoes, Xiaoqiang has to work hard.

After watching the monkey's show again, Xiaoqiang and the four turned around and left the temple fair.

When they drove home, everyone ate the snacks Xiaoqiang bought at the temple fair, and they were not hungry, so Xiaoqiang didn't eat lunch anymore and asked Liu Zhen to drive him to work.

In the next few days, Xiaoqiang soaked in work, doing some work within his ability, and was called by the chairman or the prime minister to ask various questions and participate in various government affairs or military meetings almost every day. The leading comrades of the Central Committee now all know that there is such a person as Xiaoqiang, and after all, there are a small number of participants in the 491 Project, and most of them do not know the details of Xiaoqiang, and they all regard him as a powerful young cadre newly trained by the chairman, and they respect Xiaoqiang very much. In their opinion, Xiaoqiang is the son of Minister Li, the secretary of the chairman, the cadres summoned by the two prime ministers of the Government Council almost every day, and the celebrities who are called to meetings by several senior leaders of the army from time to time. There are some leaders in the family who have a single girl to marry, and they are already asking whether Xiaoqiang is married.

has been busy for a week, and there is another organ dance party held in Zhongnanhai tonight, as an unmarried cadre, Xiaoqiang naturally can't run away.

No, Lao Sui of the logistics department came to Xiaoqiang's office, Lao Sui pulled the chair on the wall and sat down in front of Xiaoqiang, took out a Chinese cigarette from the open wooden box in front of Xiaoqiang, first sniffed the aroma smoothly under his nose, and then lit it with the ZIP lighter that Xiaoqiang threw on the table, and said to Xiaoqiang: "I see, your conditions here are much more Haode than the office of Secretary Yang Shangkun of our secretariat." You smoke this cigarette, but it is ten times more comfortable than the front door, what brand is "China"? ”

Xiao Qiang got up and took a newly issued celadon cup, and while making tea for Lao Sui, he said nonsense: "The newly developed cigarettes of the 491 Project, last time I went to the base, I took a few handfuls, you have to smoke some of them." ”

Lao Sui was not polite, took out the crumpled front door cigarette box in his pocket, poked it open with his fingers, and stuffed three Chinese into it, the big front door did not have a filter, the packaging of the soft shell was too short, and the three cigarettes were inserted in it so abruptly. Lao Sui carefully put the paper shell into his jacket pocket, and said: "Tonight, our eight departments of the organs under the Central Committee and the Ministry of Culture jointly held a ball, Secretary Yang said, all the singles of our six departments have to be on duty, even if they are on duty today, they will also be handed over to the old comrades to participate in the work, and strive to solve the practical problems of a group of old and difficult organs of the Central Committee as soon as possible." Secretary Yang especially named him, saying that you Cao Xiaoqiang is unmarried, and you must go over. ”

Lao Sui took the teacup handed to him by Xiaoqiang and continued: "For this ball, Secretary Yang personally greeted Minister Shen of the Ministry of Culture. I heard that the girl is very beautiful tonight, and all the unmarried actresses of Beijing Film Studio will come over as long as they don't talk to someone. Lao Sui conveyed this not-so-serious information in a serious tone, which was very interesting.
