Wang Shengli also reacted when he saw this, knowing that he was disturbing the purity of others, and hurriedly apologized to everyone as well.

The people who read the books in the bookstore saw that Li Ping'an and the others realized their mistakes, and after apologizing, they no longer pursued it, and each looked at the book in his hand again.

Just when the two of them wanted to go out and find a place to sit and chat, Ding Qiunan put down the book in his hand and walked over, looking at Li Ping'an curiously, wanting to know what was going on.

Li Ping'an saw Ding Qiunan and patted his head, then he remembered that he came with his daughter-in-law, and he was so happy to see his old classmate that he forgot about his daughter-in-law all of a sudden.

However, it was inconvenient to chat in the bookstore, and after the three of them went out, Li Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, and pulled Ding Qiunan to introduce Wang Shengli: "Shengli, I am so happy to see you, I forgot my daughter-in-law, I will introduce you to you, this is my daughter-in-law, Ding Qiunan, working in the infirmary of Hongxing Rolling Mill."

After listening to Li Ping'an's introduction, Wang Shengli immediately squeezed his eyebrows at Li Ping'an and teased: "Ping'an, you kid is okay, you married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, you were silent in the class back then, I thought you were destined to be a bachelor in this life, it seems that I really underestimated you."

", don't tease me in front of my daughter-in-law, believe it or not, when I wait for me to see your daughter-in-law, I will shake out all the things you did back then" After listening to Wang Shengli's ridicule, Li Ping'an smiled and replied.

Li Ping'an's words frightened Wang Shengli all of a sudden, the boys in junior high school are immature in thinking, and they have basically done a lot of bullshit things, if they are known by their daughter-in-law, they will definitely laugh at them for a lifetime, so Wang Shengli hurriedly made a surrender and hurriedly begged for mercy at Li Ping'an.

Ding Qiunan watched the funny between the two with great interest and didn't bother.

After grinding with Wang Shengli for a while, Li Ping'an said to Ding Qiunan again: "Qiu Nan, this is my old classmate, Wang Shengli, when I was in junior high school, the relationship between the two of us was good, and I went to the army after graduating from junior high school."

After Ding Qiunan and Wang Shengli introduced each other, Ding Qiunan knew that the two old friends had reunited after a long absence, and they must have a lot to say, so they didn't bother here, and after a brief chat with the two of them, they said to the two of them, returned to the bookstore, and left the space for the two to reminisce.

Watching Ding Qiunan walk into the bookstore, Wang Shengli bumped Li Ping'an on the shoulder with an exaggerated expression, and said with a smile: "You kid, it's good to marry this wife, smart and sensible, she is beautiful, and marrying you is really a flower stuck in cow dung."

"You kid has eyes but no beads, this is obviously a talented woman, what kind of eyes are you, you have time to go to the hospital to see the ophthalmology" Li Ping'an replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's stop standing in front of someone's bookstore, find a place to sit down and chat, I haven't seen each other for so many years, can't old classmates know about the recent situation?"

Old friends finally met, normally they must be looking for a restaurant to drink, but because Ding Qiunan is still in the bookstore, so the two of them can't leave here casually, it just so happens that there is a shop selling bulk beer nearby, the two of them briefly discussed, one to buy beer, the other to buy some snacks around, and then gather at the door of the bookstore after buying.

Wang Shengli grabbed to buy some snacks, and Li Ping'an had no choice but to line up honestly at the door of the bulk beer store.

Although the beer industry has been in China for many years, the first brewery in Sijiucheng has been established in 1915, but it has not been popular in China.

That is, in the early 60s, there was beer sold in various supply and marketing stores on the market, but it was also a rare thing, and there were not many people who were willing to buy, since last year, the beer manufacturing process has been broken through, the cost has been reduced on a large scale, and there have been large-scale bulk beer resale stores on the market, and beer has entered the field of vision of thousands of households.

In the summer, the loose beer is chilled in a large tin barrel, although the price is not cheap and not expensive, you can buy a liter for four cents, and you can drink a bottle of cold beer in the summer, which feels not enough for outsiders, so there is a long queue of people holding thermoses, buckets, and washbasins in front of this store that sells loose beer.

Looking at the long queue, Li Ping'an was in trouble for a while, when would so many people line up.

After thinking about it, Li Ping'an walked out from the back, first bought some water containers in a nearby store, and then came directly to the front, observed the people in line, and found his target, a middle-aged man with a thermos in his hand, patches on his clothes, and glasses.

Li Ping'an took a step forward, came to his target, and said in a low voice: "Hello, comrade, can I pay for your position?" ”

The middle-aged man who was queuing, after hearing Li Ping'an's words, was obviously stunned on his face, and after reacting, he glanced at Li Ping'an up and down, turned his head expressionlessly, and neither agreed nor disagreed.

Seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, Li Ping'an had a number in his heart, and hurriedly made a price: "Comrade, that's the case, I happened to meet an old classmate in the market and wanted to drink a little, but people have to leave Sijiu City after buying things in the market, the situation is special, I have made this decision, comrade, I am willing to pay five cents to buy your position, please help."

Now Li Ping'an is really not short of money, the money he picked up last time he picked up the rags at Lou's house, and now it is still in the warehouse, and he hasn't spent a dime, to put it mildly, even if there are five cents lying on the ground now, Li Ping'an is too lazy to pick it up, so he can spend some money to save himself the effort of queuing, Li Ping'an is very willing to do it.

Sure enough, after the middle-aged man heard Li Ping'an's bid, there was a smile on his expressionless face just now, after all, this is a dollar, just let a position can get it, a fool doesn't make money, just didn't agree just because he was embarrassed to ask the price directly, and he just wanted Li Ping'an to take the initiative to make a price.

So, the middle-aged man turned his head and said hypocritically: "Ah, so that's the case, that's okay, for the sake of your old classmates who finally met each other, I will give you this position, but forget the money, I don't give up the position for the five cents"

Hearing the middle-aged man say that he didn't want money, Li Ping'an just pretended not to hear it, and hurriedly took out five cents from his trouser pocket, and forcibly stuffed it into the middle-aged man's clothes pocket regardless of the middle-aged man's excuse.

Chinese, that's what they pay attention to.

The middle-aged man who got the money couldn't hide the smile on his face, and hypocritically said a few polite words to Li Ping'an, and after explaining that he really didn't give up his position for money, he left the team satisfied, and re-lined up at the end.

The people who were queuing up before and after, seeing that Li Ping'an really took out five cents to the middle-aged man, everyone's eyes were red with jealousy, if it weren't for the bad looks on their faces, this group of people really wanted to open their mouths and shout at Li Ping'an, "Find me, I'll give you the position for a dime"

After successfully making two liters of cold beer, Li Ping'an returned to the outside of the bookstore, quietly waiting for Wang Shengli to come back.

After a while, Wang Shengli ran from behind with two lunch boxes and sweating profusely.

"Where did you kid go to buy some food, why did you come back sweating profusely," Li Ping'an said with a smile.

Wang Shengli slipped the lunch box with one hand, and wiped the sweat on his face with the other: "Lao Tzu ran to a tavern outside the market to get two cold dishes, and I was really tired of running all the way."

"Yo, Comrade Wang Shengli is really bankrupt this time, come on, drink some loose beer to cool off" Li Ping'an put down the container, poured out a glass of cold beer and handed it over.

Wang Shengli was not polite, took all the beer and poured it into his stomach, shouted coolly, and said with a smile: "What is this, I received a lot of discharge pay when I was discharged from the army this month, and my discharge fee is more, just two dishes are not a broken fee."

Hearing Wang Shengli say that he had been discharged from the army, Li Ping'an was a little surprised, now was not the time to retire from the army, his retirement was obviously abnormal, and he hurriedly pulled Wang Shengli to sit down on the steps at the entrance of a store that was not open next to him, and asked Wang Shengli the reason for his retirement while drinking.

After Li Ping'an learned about the experience of his old classmate, he only felt that this guy was a fool, to say that his old classmate was definitely a strange person, in the second year of enlistment, he was pulled to the border and fought fiercely with the white elephant, and he was promoted to the line of fire on the battlefield, and later in the name of the engineering department, he participated in two wars against Eagle Sauce in neighboring countries, and was injured several times and made a lot of contributions.

In the 60s, there were a total of four foreign wars, and this kid participated in three times, a proper protagonist template!

This kid has already mixed up with the main company, and the superior leaders of the army are also ready to let him go to the military academy for further study, who knows that at this juncture, this kid is stupid and chooses to transfer to work in a local area.

Li Ping'an looked at Wang Shengli speechlessly, and said with hatred: "Did your kid's head blow up stupidly, the army leader has already asked you to go to the military academy for further study, you don't know what this means?" After coming back from the military academy, you kid is going to be promoted, why are you discharged from the army at this time? ”

Regarding Li Ping'an's words, Wang Shengli just smiled helplessly, and did not speak, but just opened his pants, revealing a shocking scar on his calf, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I want to retire from the army, this wound is a penetrating injury, I was beaten when I was in Laos, from this year onwards, my calf will not work, I can't do strenuous exercise, and my heart hurts after a long time of training, and I am no longer suitable to continue to stay in the wrong place."

Looking at the shocking scar, Li Ping'an didn't know how to speak for a while, fell silent, patted Wang Shengli's shoulder, raised the rice bowl full of wine, and touched Wang Shengli, both of them drank it all in one gulp.

The two drank silently for a while, and finally Li Ping'an opened his mouth first: "Where did you change jobs?" ”

"The DC District Bureau of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, a small unit leader in criminal investigation, is still learning"

"That's not bad, at least the head of the unit, although the treatment of the public security bureau is not as good as that of the factory security department, but it is also better than ordinary workers"

After the veterans of this year come back, the state will assign jobs, usually to the public security unit and the factory security office.

The factory security office is the first choice for veterans who have a relationship in the family, but anyone who has a little relationship will find acquaintances to transfer to the factory, and basically no one wants to go to these units, and it all depends on the organization and distribution.

The main reason is the salary and the rise of the problem, this year and later generations are different, these are all national units, there is no difference between high and low, but the wages and benefits, the factory is much better than the other three units, the employees of the security department, in addition to the basic salary, there are additional worker benefits prepared by the factory for the workers, but the other three units have no benefits, basically only one salary, and the factory security department is easier to promote if it is related.

Just like the chief of the security section of the rolling mill is attached to the deputy director on the street, and the rank of the security director is not low, in case of emergency, the police stations on several streets around the rolling mill must obey the command of the security chief.

Not to mention the two systems of the procuratorate and the law, they are completely small and transparent, worse than the public security, and no one wants to go.

The two of them sat on the steps, reminiscing about the past, talking about the future, chatting happily, until Ding Qiunan came out of the bookstore, the two of them quickly cleaned up the things they bought, patted their butts and stood up from the steps.

"Comrade Shengli, come with us to our house and sit down, our family has a lot of air-dried meat from the grassland, you haven't seen him for so long, you can have a good chat together in the evening" Ding Qiunan took two books and invited Wang Shengli to go to his house for dinner.

After listening to Ding Qiunan's words, Li Ping'an secretly gave Ding Qiunan a thumbs up, this girl will definitely take a shot outside, and she will not lose face to her masters.

Wang Shengli looked at Li Ping'an, then at Ding Qiunan, and said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that I am still alone now, since my younger brothers and sisters have said so, I will go to your house at night to recognize the door, but now I want to go home first, just now Ping'an told me the address of your home, I will go over by myself at night."

"Hey, don't take advantage of your kid, this is your sister-in-law, don't scream" Li Ping'an scolded with a smile.

Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes and pushed Li Ping'an, then smiled and said to Wang Shengli: "Okay, since Brother Shengli knows the address of our house, then you can come over by yourself at night, and when your sister-in-law goes back, you will stew the meat, and our staple food tonight is beef."
