The car was driving on the road, looking at Liu Changhe, whose face was not very good-looking, Zheng Zhendong didn't say much, so he could only drive silently.

After a few more minutes, when the car turned into Dongsi North Street, Liu Changhe came back to his senses and looked at Zheng Zhendong with a wry smile:

"Xiao Zheng, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, don't take it to heart!"

"It's alright, leader!" Zheng Zhendong smiled a little, and then asked Liu Changhe tentatively: "Leader, what are you doing?" Did something happen? ”

"Hey, a batch of materials sent from Zhonghai, because of the carelessness of the staff, ended up being transported to the construction site of the newly built department store, we have to hurry over and find it out, otherwise I'm afraid I won't find it!"

Liu Changhe shook his head with a wry smile, and then said the reason why he was angry.

Hearing the reason for the matter, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but sigh, this staff member is too unreliable, he can still do this kind of thing.

However, he was curious, so he asked, "What material?" Why do you need to send it from Zhonghai? Don't we have it in Sijiu City? ”

"It is a formulation of a high-temperature resistant material and several accessories." Liu Changhe was a little upset, so he dealt with it casually, and then lowered his head and pondered.

Watching Liu Changhe's conversation was not very interested, Zheng Zhendong closed his mouth very interestingly and drove intently.

After about seven or eight minutes, I drove through Goldfish Hutong to Wangfujing East Street, and drove forward for about 100 meters to the door of Wangfujing Department Store.

At this time, the Wangfujing Department Store was not called this name, it is still called a department store.

As for when it will be converted into Wangfujing Department Store, it will have to wait until July 1998.

After parking the car on the road in front of the department store, the two got out of the car, tidied up their clothes, looked at each other, and then walked to the department store.

Seeing the long queue at the door of the store, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but be a little curious, looking at Liu Changhe, who also didn't understand.

He hurriedly walked a few steps forward, came to the edge of the line, stopped a young man in line, and hurriedly inquired: "Hello comrade, what are you doing here?" Isn't the store still open? How did you get in line here? ”

Before the young man who was stopped could speak, the person standing behind him grinned:

"I don't know, what about the department store salesperson, we all came to interview, buddy, if you don't have a job, you can also come and sign up, other sensei, just by virtue of your appearance, it's not an interview or an accurate!"

When the man finished speaking, the people who followed him also started to coax the seedlings.

"Yes, the young man hurry up and line up, maybe you really have a show!"

"That's right, buddy, come on, just get ahead of me, this can't be prepared, we'll be colleagues in the future!"

“……”

Looking at the ridiculous smiles on the faces of these people, Zheng Zhendong knew that they were bored and joking with themselves!

If you really go to line up, it is estimated that these guys will definitely not give themselves a good face.

After all, such a good job as a department store salesperson is really an opportunity that you can't find with a lantern.

After understanding the reason, Zheng Zhendong waved his hand, and after saying thank you to everyone, he quickly retreated to Liu Changhe's side.

Bypassing the crowd in line, I came to the door of the department store, and under everyone's strange eyes, I pushed open the revolving door and walked inside.

At this time, the main work of the store had just been completed, and in order to open it as soon as possible, the workers were putting the finishing touches on it.

Looking at everyone's busy figures, for a while, the two of them didn't know who to find.

"Hey, hey, what about you, what are you two doing? Which unit, who let you in, I don't know if you are not allowed to enter here? ”

Just then, the voice of a rough voice came.

Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged man wearing gray overalls and a rattan helmet on his head, pointing at them with an angry face.

Zheng Zhendong walked towards the middle-aged man, took out his work card from his pocket, handed it to him with a smile, and said, "Hello comrade, we are from the Industrial Bureau, and this is Comrade Liu Changhe, deputy director of our Planning Department. ”

The middle-aged man took Zheng Zhendong's work card, looked at it carefully, shook hands with Liu Changhe, said hello, and then asked, "Do you have something to do here?" ”

"That's the case, we have a box of goods sent from Zhonghai, which was loaded by the careless train station staff on the wrong car, and was pulled to you, let's come and find it!"

Seeing that Liu Changhe, as a leader, refused to speak, Zheng Zhendong had no choice but to tell the reason for the incident.

The middle-aged man heard the reason, and after pondering for a while, he raised his hand and pointed to the back door of the department store, and said, "That's the case, you go to the material supply department in the backyard and ask, they should know it!" ”

"Excuse me, comrade, let's go over first, you get busy first!"

The two thanked the middle-aged man, and then walked quickly along the aisle of the hall to the back.

…………

In the courtyard.

At about half past nine in the morning, Mrs. Lin, who had breakfast, thought that Yi Zhonghai didn't come to find her last night, so she couldn't sit still anymore.

He walked out of the house angrily, greeted the neighbors in the courtyard all the way, and soon came to the door of the Yi family in the middle courtyard.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who? Wait a minute, I'll open the door! ”

An aunt who was picking beans at home, after hearing the knock on the door, put the dustpan in her hand on the table, then stood up, patted the dust on her body, and then walked to the door in a hurry.

"Old lady, why are you here, you have something to do with me? Hurry up and sit in the house! ”

After opening the door, Aunt Yi was slightly stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses, with a smile on her face, stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Lin's arm, and then walked towards the house.

After the two sat down and exchanged a few polite words, and after talking about some scenes, Mrs. Lin held the teacup and asked with a smile:

"His aunt, why didn't Zhonghai come to me last night? Is he angry with my old woman? ”

"How can it, Zhonghai drank too much last night, don't think about it!"

I had heard Yi Zhonghai say that Mrs. Lin was not easy to deal with, so the first aunt also kept an eye on it, and only spoke after careful consideration, trying to make herself leak.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, I thought he was angry with me!"

Old Mrs. Lin looked relieved.

Because she also knows that what she can do in the future depends entirely on the attitude of Yi Zhonghai and his family.

After all, as you get older, your physical condition is definitely getting worse day by day.

Although I can still cook and clean up the housework now, it is difficult to say in the future.

As a lonely old man, I know very well that my future life will be more and more difficult.

In order to end well, Yi Zhonghai must not be offended, because only in this way can his plan be carried out.

"Old lady, the weather is nice outside, I will help you to cool off under the tree?" Aunt Yi asked tentatively.

The most important thing has not been said yet, how could Mrs. Lin agree to go out, and saw her hurriedly waving her hand: "No, no, let's just talk in the house, you don't have to bother, his aunt!" ”

Aunt Yi was originally tempted, and seeing that Mrs. Lin refused to go out, she couldn't say anything else, so she had to say: "Okay, since you don't want to, then let's stay in the house!" ”

Mrs. Lin took a sip of water from the teacup, smiled and waved her hand: "Aunt He, you should be busy with you, don't delay your affairs for me!" ”

An aunt pointed to the dustpan on the table and explained with a smile: "Hey, I don't have anything to do, this is not to take advantage of the effort, pick some mung beans out, and prepare to boil some mung bean soup to relieve the heat!" ”

"Pick mung beans, bring them, bring them quickly, I'll pick them for you!" Old Lady Lin squinted and smiled.

An aunt couldn't help but excuse herself, but at the strong insistence of Mrs. Lin, she had to put the dustpan between the two of them.

In this way, the two pulled the dustpan, picked out the good mung beans and put them in the bowl, and chatted about the gossip in the courtyard.

Suddenly, Mrs. Lin changed her words and said with a mysterious face: "Auntie, let me tell you something from the heart, don't be angry with my wife!" ”

"Just say it, old lady, with the relationship between our mother and mother for so many years, how can I be angry with you!"

Having said that, Aunt Yi secretly raised her vigilance and made up her mind in her heart, no matter what Mrs. Lin said, she just shirked it.

If she really can't shirk it, let her talk to Yi Zhonghai, anyway, everyone knows that Yi Zhonghai is the one who makes the decision about the family affairs.

"Hey! You two don't have any children yet, what should you do in the future? Mrs. Lin was not polite, her language was like a knife, and the knife stabbed an aunt in the heart.

"Hehe..."Aunt Yi couldn't help but be a little angry, but she didn't want to say anything, after all, what people said was the truth, so she could only smile awkwardly.

But in my heart, I thought, "You dead old woman, can you speak?" If you don't know how to speak, shut up, no one will treat you as a dumb person! ”

Seeing that Aunt Yi's expression was ugly, Mrs. Lin didn't care.

Because she knows the temper of an aunt, and she is very successful in her heart about the next words, she doesn't care even more.

From a normal point of view, the Yi family has no children, and the problem of providing for the elderly in the future is not easy to solve, and these two people must be anxious about this matter.

And now Silly Zhu has ignored them, so the only suitable person in this courtyard is only Jia Dongxu.

coincided with the Jia family's disaster, Jia Dongxu didn't even have a job, even eating and drinking were problems, and now things are all developing for the better.

As long as this matter is settled, whether it is the Yi family or the Jia family, I will not be fully grateful to myself when the time comes!

It's a two-win-win thing, no, plus your own business, it's a three-win-win.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and Mrs. Lin couldn't help but get excited.

He took a deep breath, and when he calmed down his excitement, he spoke again:

"Don't blame me for speaking badly, it's because we're not outsiders that I'm telling you this, otherwise I wouldn't have said that!"

Aunt Yi still didn't speak, because she knew that Mrs. Lin was definitely a person who couldn't afford to be early.

So she silently picked up the beans and waited for the next to see what kind of medicine Mrs. Lin was selling in her gourd.

Seeing that Aunt Yi didn't speak, Mrs. Lin grabbed her hand and patted it lightly: "You say, how about letting Dongxu provide for the two of you?" ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Aunt Yi didn't think about it, and quickly shook her head and refused: "No, old lady, this matter can't be determined, you should stop thinking about it!" ”

"Why not?"

Old Lady Lin frowned.

She thought that an aunt would refuse.

But Aunt Yi's reaction was so strong, which she didn't expect, because it was completely unexpected.

"What kind of character is Jia Dongxu, you don't know if you are old, my family doesn't dare to provoke this kind of person, you should ask another master!"

Aunt Yi spoke in a blunt tone, obviously having her own plans for this matter.

"It's not that you listen to me, I know what you're worried about, but I've thought about it for you!" Mrs. Lin continued to work hard to do the work of an aunt, trying to get this thing done.

"If you don't succeed, you can't do it, old lady, even if you say it today, it's useless!"

"It's not okay to think you're a godfather and godmother?"

"Huh?"

Looking at the aunt who lived in Lengzhu, Mrs. Lin struck the iron while it was hot, and hurriedly continued to bewitch:

"I told Dongxu that this kid would recognize you two as godfathers and godmothers, and then we would do it with great fanfare in the courtyard, so that this kid would regret it in the future!"

knew that if she didn't agree, Mrs. Lin would definitely not leave, but this fact was not easy to handle, and she couldn't be coaxed out.

Aunt Yi had no choice but to pretend to be excited, and said in a soothing tone: "You let me think about it, my brain is a little messy, and it doesn't matter if I say this, when Zhonghai comes back from work in the evening, I will ask him what he means!" ”

Seeing that the aunt hesitated, Mrs. Lin was really fooled.

"Yes, yes, how to say that this is also a big deal, you must ask Zhonghai's opinion, then let's do it first, you are busy with yours, I will go back first!"

felt that the matter was done, her goal had been achieved, and Mrs. Lin didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood up and said goodbye to her aunt.

Because she has other things to do, after all, Jia Dongxu hasn't agreed yet.

She also has to go to Jia's house to do Jia Dongxu's work.

Seeing that Mrs. Lin was leaving, an aunt hurriedly got up to send her off: "Old lady, are you going to leave now, and you won't sit for a while?" ”

"No, no, I have something else to do, don't send me his aunt, hurry up and go back to pick your beans!"

After walking out of the door, Mrs. Lin turned around, smiled at her aunt and said politely, and then walked forward slowly.

…………

Around half past ten in the morning.

In the backyard warehouse of a department store.

"Director Liu, come and take a look, isn't this box?"

Zheng Zhendong, who was sweating profusely, pointed to a box fifty centimeters square, and shouted excitedly to Liu Changhe, who was also already soaked.

"Where, where?"

Liu Changhe, who was anxious, heard Zheng Zhendong's words, hurriedly dropped the wooden box in his hand and ran over with an anxious face.

Checking the words on the box, Liu Changhe's face, which had been gloomy all morning, finally showed a smile.

I saw him pat Zheng Zhendong on the shoulder and said, "Yes, that's it, it's not easy, I thought I couldn't find it anymore, Xiao Zheng, did a good job!" ”

Looking at Liu Changhe, who was inexplicably excited, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

can be regarded as finding something, otherwise depending on how much Liu Changhe cares, if he doesn't find it, it is estimated that this guy will definitely let himself continue to look for it.

Thinking of the scene he saw when he first entered the warehouse, Zheng Zhendong felt that his scalp was numb.

This is no ordinary warehouse.

Think about it, tens of thousands of square meters of department stores, tens of thousands of kinds of goods, can the warehouse be small?

At that time, as soon as he opened the door of the warehouse, Zheng Zhendong was directly dumbfounded.

Good guys, the mountain of goods, industrial products, electronics, chemicals, groceries, toys, snacks, bicycles, radios, cloth、...... Wait, what do you want.

Although it can't be compared with the supermarkets of later generations, in this era, this is also the place where Zheng Zhendong has seen the most types of items, and as for the supply and marketing cooperatives, it is really a small thing compared to this.

"Leader, since the thing has been found, let's hurry up, shall we?" Looking at Liu Changhe, who was full of excitement, Zheng Zhendong wiped his sweat with his sleeve and urged at the same time.

Liu Changhe came back to his senses and nodded: "Well, let's go, let's go quickly!" ”

After that, I was about to move the box, but it turned out that the box was quite heavy, and it didn't move.

"I'll do it, leader!"

After all, Zheng Zhendong is young and strong, and he has practiced martial arts, so it is easy to move the box.

Liu Changhe also wanted to say something like "The box is sinking, let's move it", but seeing that Zheng Zhendong moved the box very easily, he had to swallow it back.

When I came to the door of the warehouse, I negotiated with the warehouse manager, filled out the delivery form, and called the personnel of the material supply department to make a certificate.

The two of them were busy for thirteen times, and it took a long time to talk before they came out of the warehouse.

Following Liu Changhe, Zheng Zhendong carried the box, walked through the hall of the department store, carefully walked through the revolving door, and came to the outside of the store.

Seeing that there were still so many people queuing at the door, Zheng Zhendong didn't think much about it, and walked forward directly with the box.

When I came to the jeep, I saw that Liu Changhe had opened the door behind him, so I stuffed it in.

I thought that Liu Changhe was still sitting in the passenger seat, but after Zheng Zhendong shook the fire, he sat in the cab, and only then did he find that he went directly to the back this time.

Sensei said that it was definitely the contents of the box that mattered, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nervous.

Zheng Zhendong originally planned to drive faster on the road, so that he could go to Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant early for lunch.

But after seeing Liu Changhe like this, he made up his mind again and decided to slow down, for fear that if he was not careful on the road, he would damage the leader's heart and soul.
