Chapter 105: Face Brushing
"Of course I'm free," Jiang Aihong said briskly: "Just now, your Aunt Li rushed to the district for a meeting, she, the director, ran around, and I, the deputy director, were in charge of taking care of the house...... If you have anything to help, just say, don't be polite to Aunt Jiang. ”
Wang Debao said with a smile: "Eighteen neighbors helped me last night, and I wrote down all the names, so please ask Aunt Jiang to be a guide for me, I want to buy some small gifts for everyone to express my feelings...... Of course, it's definitely not a valuable thing, it's too expensive and I can't afford to send it, I plan to send a few eggs at home, plus two taels of fruit candy. ”
Jiang Aihong refused without thinking about it.
Recently, the price of non-staple food has risen, and the eggs of the supply and marketing cooperatives have risen to a dime and a half, and egg tickets are still needed, and they are often out of stock. There are eggs in the vegetable market, and you don't need egg tickets, but they cost two cents each.
As for fruit candy, the supply and marketing cooperatives have been out of stock recently, and they sell for eight yuan a pound in the ghost market, and they are not counter-offered.
Wang Debao has no job now, and if he doesn't have a job, he has no income, even if he doesn't send fruit candy, he only sends two eggs to one family, eighteen families, that is, thirty-six eggs...... According to the price of the vegetable market, it is seven yuan and six cents.
Don't underestimate these seven yuan and six cents, this is already half a month's living expenses for ordinary people.
Jiang Aihong calculated in her heart, and couldn't help but want to preach...... You don't have much money in the first place, so there's no need to spend this unjust money, after all, the neighbors came to help, and they didn't want your eggs.
But when the words came to her lips, Jiang Aihong suddenly had other ideas.
Wang Debao, this kid is so smart and so demonic, can he not know that this will cost a lot of money? But he still mentioned it...... So he felt that it was necessary to spend this money?
Jiang Aihong looked at Wang Debao suspiciously: "What do you think?" Let's put it bluntly. ”
Wang Debao immediately smiled: "Aunt Jiang, I don't have any ideas, I just think that I have to live here for a long time, and I want to be closer to these kind and caring neighbors, so I should express my heart as soon as possible." ”
In this way, Jiang Aihong instantly understood Wang Debao's thoughts.
In fact, Wang Debao's idea is very simple, he just wants to brush his face, become friends with his enthusiastic neighbors, and get everyone's protection. If there is any emergency in the future, he will not be alone.
Like the time when Chen Feng brought someone to the door, if Wang Debao hadn't come out with a kitchen knife and worked hard, Xue Mei would have been really strangled to death by Chen Feng on the spot.
Jiang Aihong felt that if she was Xue Mei and Wang Debao, she would have a psychological shadow for the rest of her life.
It's so scary, stay at home, and suddenly someone breaks in and strangled your relatives to death in front of you...... Whoever is replaced will collapse.
And Wang Debao's family had an accident not once, it was Chen Feng and Hou Guifen, two times in a row.
Jiang Aihong sighed, and she didn't stop it, because Wang Debao's decision was not wrong, and it was really necessary to spend this money...... Spending money is secondary, it's important to reciprocate gifts! The important thing is to let everyone know that Wang Debao is a sensible child who knows how to repay kindness.
When people come to help you in times of crisis, you express your heart, isn't this the establishment of "exchanges"?
What is paid unilaterally is not a dealing. Otherwise, do everyone else owe you? Do I have to help you?
People say that good money is hard to give up, and there are really very few people like Wang Debao who are so young that he can see through and do things simply. Such a child, as long as he does not die halfway, will definitely get ahead in the future.
After figuring out this joint, Jiang Aihong suddenly glanced at Wang Debao again.
Now these days, everyone's life is not easy, seven yuan is enough for half a month's living expenses for the family, meaning two eggs, this intention is enough.
Moreover, the more difficult it is, the more you can express and reap kindness, and the money is definitely worth it!
"I'll help you with the money first, and then you will pay me back when you have the money later...... Also, forget about fruit candy, the supply and marketing cooperatives are out of stock, the ghost market is too expensive, your family will send two eggs ninety percent, and I will take you to recognize the door. ”
"I have the money, I really don't have any money, I'll borrow it from Aunt Jiang again, don't worry Aunt Jiang, you are my aunt, I will definitely not be polite to you, if you are really in trouble, I will be the first to ask you for help."
Wang Debao said with a smile: "Forget about fruit candy, but let's give four eggs, two is too little, I can't take it, after all, my family's living standards, everyone can see it, I'm afraid that people will say that I slam the door." ”
Jiang Aihong suddenly cried and laughed, she knew that Wang Debao's family had only opened a gang in the past two days, and they had meat and eggs all the time, but that was to supplement nutrition for the brothers and sisters, Wang Yun's small body like bean sprouts was black and dry, who could believe that this was a ten-year-old girl? This kind of long-term malnutrition, if you want to make up for the body, it is not possible to do it in a day or two.
But others may not necessarily understand, and we can't assume that everyone is an empathetic angel.
After all, the county is such a big place, Wang Debao buys meat and eggs every day, and half of the county knows that it is indeed a bit difficult to give two eggs now, because some people will definitely gossip...... In this way, the meaning of gift-giving is greatly reduced.
Thinking clearly, Jiang Aihong was also a little worried, but soon she made a decision - just four eggs, no more.
The first contact, it can't be too grand, otherwise the tone at the beginning will be high, and it will be difficult to pick up in the future.
Wang Debao pondered it, and he was right.
"That's okay, listen to Aunt Jiang." Wang Debao smiled and obeyed.
Jiang Aihong didn't ink either, so she rode on the car and took Wang Debao directly to the vegetable market, found a familiar seller, and asked for 72 relatively small eggs.
Wang Debao hurriedly said: "Aunt Jiang, Uncle Wang, and you and Aunt Li haven't been counted." ”
Jiang Aihong glanced at Wang Debao strangely: "How can he accept it, if he is reported, then he will be in big trouble, let alone four eggs, not one...... I'm sure I can't accept it, I'm your aunt, I'll take your eggs again, what will I become? ”
Wang Debao: ......
Move!
But immediately, Wang Debao thought of a way, but he didn't say it, of course he still listened to Jiang Aihong on the surface, borrowed a basket, followed Jiang Aihong, and walked through the eighteen families one by one...... Except for Mrs. Gu, who was not at home, the others were sent out, and everyone's response was very good, they were very enthusiastic about Wang Debao, and they also praised Jiang Aihong.
On the way back, Jiang Aihong was very happy, this time, Wang Debao was near the cigarette pole alley, and he could be regarded as having a firm foothold, and when Chen Feng's bastard came out in the future, there was no need to be afraid of him doing things.
But immediately, Jiang Aihong realized that although everyone was very enthusiastic about her before, they didn't want to ...... this time So welcoming.
Well, yes, in the past, she went door-to-door to carry out propaganda and send tasks, and she asked everyone to contribute money and efforts...... That's definitely not likeable, it's just that everyone doesn't want to offend her.
This time, it was purely a gift, and it was to introduce Wang Debao to establish contacts with them and establish a relationship...... Such a good thing is that everyone is sincerely happy and enthusiastic.
Therefore, she ran this trip, which is equivalent to fulfilling herself, because the benefits she got were the greatest.
Even if the community residents are now asked to elect a new director of the neighborhood committee, then Jiang Aihong's votes near Yanjiaer Hutong will definitely be higher than Li Xianglan's.
Thinking of this, Jiang Aihong couldn't help but go to see Wang Debao...... Isn't this also in the calculations of this demon?
However, she didn't see Wang Debao's expression, and there was anything unusual.
"Aunt Jiang, come to the police station for dinner at noon," Wang Debao said: "I plan to go to Uncle Wang and them, collect a dime each, and then add a little bit of my own and cook a meal for everyone at the police station." ”
"You...... Well, that's good. ”
Jiang Aihong was stunned, she never expected that Wang Debao could come up with this idea, then he was ready to add a lot of money, but it is estimated that it is difficult for Wang Jianguo to refuse this request. Because everyone paid for it, not to accept bribes, and ate in the police station, what else can others say? Anyway, Wang Debao will definitely not tell outsiders how much money he has added.
Now Jiang Aihong can suddenly understand Wang Jianguo's anxiety...... This kid is really too smart, I'm afraid that he will go the wrong way!
In case Wang Debao goes the wrong way, the harm is ...... Jiang Aihong had a cold war, I couldn't imagine it!
