After Wu Aiguo sent Qin Huairu back to his place of residence, he rode to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then drove the car of the supply and marketing cooperative, heading towards the suburbs of the city.

Wu Aiguo came to the place where the goods were loaded last time, loaded the rod noodles needed by the coal yard into the carriage, and then drove the small truck in the direction of the coal yard.

"Comrade! We didn't work at the coal yard today, who are you looking for? "The car was at the gate of the coal yard and was stopped by the security guards.

Wu Aiguo heard the security guard's inquiry and politely introduced: "Comrade! I am from Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and I have made an appointment with Deputy Director Guo of your coal farm. ”

When the security guard heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, he immediately remembered what Guo Ruiming had told them when he went to the coal yard this morning.

The security guard thought of Guo Ruiming's confession, and politely said to Wu Aiguo: "Comrade! Our director Guo is waiting for you in the office, please wait a while, I will open the door for you. ”

After the gate was opened, Wu Aiguo drove a small truck into the coal yard, and Guo Ruiming, who had received the call in advance, immediately greeted him from the office building.

Guo Ruiming waited for Wu Aiguo to park the car, and immediately walked to the cab, shook hands with Wu Aiguo, and said enthusiastically: "Section Chief Wu!" You've done a great job! ”

Wu Aiguo shook hands with Guo Ruiming, and said to Guo Ruiming with a smile: "Director Guo! Your luck is good, my friend's place, yesterday just put a batch of grain into storage, I helped you ask for 5,000 catties of stick noodles and 1,000 catties of white noodles. ”

For the coal farm, a few thousand catties of grain can only temporarily alleviate their predicament, but for Guo Ruiming and the management of the coal yard, something is better than nothing.

Guo Ruiming learned that Wu Aiguo not only helped them get an extra thousand catties of stick noodles, but also got a thousand catties of white noodles, which made him feel extremely excited, and hurriedly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Section Chief Wu! On behalf of all the workers in our coal yard, I would like to thank you for your help to us. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Guo Ruiming's thanks, and said to Guo Ruiming very modestly: "Director Guo! Today is a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to conjure up so much food for you. ”

Wu Aiguo said this, and hurriedly said to Guo Ruiming: "Director Guo! I have something to do later, you can quickly arrange for someone to unload the truck and weigh it! ”

When Guo Ruiming heard Wu Aiguo's words, he hurriedly beckoned several of his subordinates and arranged for someone to unload the truck and weigh it.

After unloading the grain, Wu Aiguo took the payment handed to him by Guo Ruiming, refused Guo Ruiming's invitation to invite him to dinner, and drove away from the coal yard.

After Wu Aiguo drove the small truck back to the supply and marketing cooperative, he carried the things prepared for Sister You and rode a bicycle to Sister You's house.

According to the address told to him by Sister You, Wu Aiguo soon came to the door of a two-entry courtyard.

"Comrade! Who are you looking for? Two middle-aged people sitting at the gate of the compound playing chess saw Wu Aiguo's arrival, and one of the middle-aged people asked Wu Aiguo curiously.

Wu Aiguo heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, and hurriedly introduced himself: "Comrade! Hello! I am from the Purchasing Department of the Procurement Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and I made an appointment with Sister You of our union to send her some things today. ”

"Section Chief Wu! Hello! I am Lifang's lover Lin Heping, our family Lifang said, you will come over this morning, and I will wait for you here early in the morning. When the middle-aged man heard Wu Aiguo's self-introduction, he immediately stood up from his chair and greeted Wu Aiguo with a warm face.

Wu Aiguo heard Lin Heping's self-introduction, first shook hands with Lin Heping, and then said politely: "Brother Lin! I'm really sorry to have you wait for a long time because of other things in the morning. ”

Lin Heping heard Wu Aiguo's answer, and said with a smile: "Section Chief Wu! Look at what you said, if it weren't for your help, our kid's banquet would probably not even be able to make up four dishes, and it really makes me feel ashamed when you say this. ”

After Lin Heping led Wu Aiguo into the courtyard, he immediately shouted to the house: "Lifang! Section Chief Wu is here! ”

You Lifang, who was doing sanitation in the house, heard her husband's shout, and immediately came out of the house, and greeted Wu Aiguo happily: "Patriotic!" You're here, thank you! Come inside please! ”

Wu Aiguo heard You Lifang's greeting, took off the cloth bag tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and then walked into You Lifang's house with the cloth bag, and while taking out something from the cloth bag, he introduced to You Lifang: "Sister You! This time, I will help you get a total of ten catties of pork belly, five catties of beef meatballs, five catties of shrimp, and five catties of hairtail. ”

You Lifang looked at the things that Wu Aiguo took out of the cloth bag, which made her heart hang, and finally let go, and hurriedly asked Wu Aiguo: "Patriotism!" How much is the total amount of these things, I will give you the money. ”

Wu Aiguo heard You Lifang's inquiry, and introduced with a smile: "Sister You! Pork and beef balls are all seven cents a catty, shrimp is more expensive than five a piece, and a pound of hairtail fish is one dollar. ”

When You Lifang heard the price quoted by Wu Aiguo, she was obviously stunned, and hurriedly said to Wu Aiguo: "Love the country!" We buy pork on weekdays, and a pound is also seven cents, but we need a meat ticket, I beg you to do something, how can I let you put money inside? ”

Wu Aiguo heard You Lifang's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Sister You! I came here today, it is completely a matter of colleagues helping each other, and it is not to speculate, naturally how much others count me, I also count how much you want, I can assure you that there is absolutely no penny pasted into it. ”

When You Lifang heard Wu Aiguo's promise, she put her mind at ease, and hurriedly took out a few pieces of unity from her pocket, handed the money for these things to Wu Aiguo, and thanked Wu Aiguo again: "Patriotic!" Without your help this time, my sister and your brother-in-law would have to venture to the black market to buy food, and my sister is here to thank you on behalf of our whole family! ”

Wu Aiguo heard You Lifang's thanks, reached out and took the money handed to him by You Lifang, then took out a red envelope prepared in advance from his pocket, and said to You Lifang with a smile: "Sister You!" Tomorrow I am going to Baoding on a business trip, it will take about three or four days to come back, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with your son's wedding banquet, this is my little meaning, I hope you do not refuse. ”

You Lifang saw the red envelope in Wu Aiguo's hand, and hurriedly refused: "Patriotic!" This is unacceptable! ”

"Sister You! If you recognize my younger brother, then accept this red envelope, if you don't recognize it, then we will deal with it according to the relationship between colleagues. Wu Aiguo saw that You Lifang refused to accept the red envelope, and pretended to be dissatisfied and said to You Lifang.

You Lifang saw that Wu Aiguo had said this to this point, so she could only reluctantly accept the red envelope handed to her by Wu Aiguo, and thanked Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Patriotic!" Since you have said so, then Sister will accept this red envelope, and when you come back from a business trip, Sister will invite you to dinner alone! ”
