That night, Cheng Zheng went home with a lot of harvest, folded the page full of things that needed to be purchased before marriage, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

He also had a stack of bills in his drawer, more than a dozen industrial coupons, which should be able to buy a bicycle, and the industrial coupons for the radio had to be borrowed.

In the army, it is like this, if a soldier is going to get married, the others will help him make it up, and he will return it next time.

I usually participate in the banquet of my comrades-in-arms, but I don't think that there are many things to prepare for marriage.

Back in the bachelor dormitory, Cheng Zheng had just taken out the key and was about to open the door when he heard a sound of footsteps next door, from far and near.

"Lao Cheng, are you back?" Political Commissar Wei walked out of the next room with a happy face.

"Yes, just returned."

"I'm going on family leave soon, and I'm packing my things." No one asked, Commissar Wei was up again, tomorrow he will take half a month off to go to the subject's hometown, "When I meet Cuicui's parents, the day is so certain, I will make a marriage report when I come back!" ”

Life is full of beautiful hopes, and when he thinks of the days to come, Political Commissar Wei's face is full of longing and yearning.

"You don't have a partner, you don't understand."

Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows, and was caught by Lao Wei telling his love story every three or five days, and his ears were almost grinding out calluses, and now, he finally took the lead.

"Lao Wei, I'm sorry, I've already made a marriage report, you hurry up and try to catch up with me." With that, head up and go back to the house.

When Cheng Zheng's door was closed, Political Commissar Wei figured out that something was wrong, what? What did Cheng Zheng say?

He's already made a marriage report?

Political Commissar Wei muttered and retreated to his room, feeling that this person was going crazy because he was going to be stimulated by himself, and he had already begun to talk nonsense.

A person who doesn't have a partner, what kind of marriage report can he make!

While Cheng Zheng was saving industrial vouchers, Jian Lu was busy with her work.

On Monday, the small Jane salesman, the only supply and marketing agency on the island, was finally about to take up his post.

Jian Lu, who hadn't experienced the taste of going to work for too long, was still a little curious, and Feng Xiuhui even boiled her a boiled egg.

There are few eggs at home, there are not many egg tickets per month, you can buy 20 eggs a month, a total of one dollar, most of these eggs are the belly of the pier, children, it is the critical time to grow the body.

Other times, the occasional scrambled egg or egg soup is enjoyed by adults.

"Sister Xiuhui, you can keep this egg for Dunzi to eat." Jian Lu knew that egg tickets were rare, and Feng Xiuhui thought that she was younger, and she had stuffed eggs several times. But it's just a little bit every month, especially now that it's almost the end of the month, how embarrassed is she to grab food from Dunzi.

Feng Xiuhui peeled off the shell of the egg and handed it over, revealing a smooth body of the egg, "You can eat it with confidence, and besides, Captain Cheng stuffed me with all his egg tickets." ”

Taking a bite of the fragrant egg, Jian Lu was a little surprised, "When did he give it?" ”

"The day before yesterday, you didn't know, did you?" The more Feng Xiuhui looked at it, the more she felt that Head Cheng was a daughter-in-law, "To be honest, I was worried before, this man is rough and not careful, and we are easy to be wronged as daughters-in-law." I didn't think about it, but Captain Cheng was careful enough to worry about you eating eggs. ”

Jian Lu listened to the sweetness in her heart, and only swallowed the protein in small sips.

Political Commissar Liang sat at the dinner table and followed the invitation, "Hui'er, I'm not bad for you, Cheng Zheng, this kid must have been by my side for a long time, and he has learned a trick or two, how do you say that sentence, close to Zhu Zhechi!" ”

Feng Xiuhui had never studied, but she felt that her man was crazy, "There are still people who call themselves pigs?" ”

At the dinner table, he giggled and explained to his mother, "Mom, it's not that pig, it's that Zhu." ”

Where can Feng Xiuhui tell the difference between this pig and that pig, there are too few pigs on the island, and the pork is so fragrant, I really want to eat it every day.

After breakfast, Jian Lu walked to the supply and marketing cooperative, looked at the bungalow from a distance, and her heart was surging.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, two salesmen were already cleaning the house, and Li Jihong, who was petite and slightly square-faced, was wiping the glass cabinet with a rag, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the female comrades who walked in.

"Hello, comrade, you are sister-in-law Li, right? My name is Jian Lu and I'm the new salesperson. ”

A few days ago, the man asked her to take more care of the new salesman who was about to come to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, saying that he was the target of Cheng Zheng, the head of the Third Regiment.

Just this sentence, Li Jihong almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Last time Jian Lu came to take the exam, she happened to have something to ask for leave, and after all, today is the first time she has seen the legendary head of Cheng.

"Yes!" Putting the rag on the glass cabinet, Li Jihong beckoned Jian Lu into the room, "You are Comrade Jian Lu?" Welcome, let's work together in the future. ”

Cheng Zheng is a well-known sullen stone in the army, and he is called a woman who is not close to women, but he did not expect that he would find such a beautiful daughter-in-law now.

Jian Lu is wearing a blue shirt, black trousers, and two braids in a regular manner, according to what she said when she looked in the mirror in the morning, this dress can go to the interview seamlessly, highlighting a capable and generous.

But even so, people are also dazzling and beautiful, and people can't take their eyes off them.

"Sifeng, Sifeng, someone is coming, a new salesman is here." Li Jihong shouted at the top of his voice, Qiu Sifeng, another salesman who had just gone to the backyard to fetch water.

Qiu Sifeng ran out in small steps, saw Jian Lu, who he had seen in the last exam, and nodded, "You wait for a while, we'll clean it up immediately." ”

"Okay."

Jian Lu looked around, the area of the supply and marketing cooperatives is about four bungalows, which are mainly divided into four areas. The first is the daily necessities area, which mainly sells enamel basins, enamel cups, soaps, toothbrushes, tooth powder, etc.; The second is the fabric area, which sells fabrics of various colors; The third is the kitchen area, which mainly sells pots and pans, seasonings, etc.; The fourth area is the confectionery area, which naturally sells all kinds of sweets;

There are also more small commodity categories in the four areas, which are guarded by four salespeople.

Just when Jian Lu looked at the gap between the entire supply and marketing cooperative, Li Jihong and Qiu Sifeng were finally busy, picked up the small blackboard at the door, and prepared to write the fabric that arrived today.

"Sister Jihong, let this new salesperson try it." Qiu Sifeng was holding the chalk in his hand, and he was just about to raise his hand to put down the pen when he thought of this.

Li Jihong also felt that it was feasible, and said to Jian Lu, "Comrade Jian Lu, on the first day you came, I will leave the work of writing fabrics to you today." ”

Jian Lu naturally has no opinion, isn't it just a blackboard newspaper, her strength.

Every day, the supply and marketing cooperatives will put a blackboard at the door, on which will write down what kind of cloth has arrived that day, what color and fabric they are, how much money is a foot, and what time it will be supplied.

For example, today, in addition to the ordinary cloth sold on weekdays, the supply and marketing cooperatives have also arrived with a batch of red plain cotton cloth and twill, which will be sold at half past eight in the morning, and the price is one dime a foot more expensive than ordinary coarse cloth.

Jian Lu paid a little attention, but the beautiful chalk words in one hand were already showing their edge.

When Qiu Sifeng saw that this character was much better than his dog's, he immediately said, "Yo, the writing is very good, then you can write it every morning from now on." ”

Jian Lu put away the chalk, didn't expect that this person was also a pusher, so she didn't say anything at the moment, and followed Li Jihong to visit the counters.

Throughout the morning, Jian Lu followed the two salesmen to sell things, remembering the location and price of each product, and familiarizing herself with all the processes.

In fact, in this era, it was really good to be a salesperson, and the customers were very polite to the salesperson, and they were very pleasant, eager to offer people and be a good comrade.

It wasn't until noon that the crowd gradually dispersed, and Qiu Sifeng went to the cafeteria to serve food and came back, and the three of them ushered in their lunch break.

Three people and three dishes, one meat and two vegetables are quite hearty.

"It's all Sun Qiuyue's fault, if you don't come back, where are the three of us busy."

Sun Qiuyue, another salesperson among the old employees of the supply and marketing cooperative, has not come back from leave.

Jian Lu remembered that when she first went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to see the job posting, she should have asked the salesman named Sun Qiuyue.

"Didn't her child say she was sick? I should be here in two days. Li Jihong immersed himself in eating and enthusiastically introduced the situation of the supply and marketing cooperatives to Jian Lu, "Actually, the three of us are usually busy, and we are not as exaggerated as Sifeng said." ”

The three of them chatted while eating, mainly because the two old men were curious about Jian Lu, and they were even more surprised when they knew that she was going to marry Head Cheng in three months.

"I didn't expect that, Head Cheng is also getting married."

"Captain Cheng's vision is high, and he is really going to get married?" Qiu Sifeng glanced at Jian Lu again, as if he could say it again, who doesn't want to marry a lesbian like this.

In the afternoon, Li Jihong asked Jian Lu to take charge of the glass cabinet for daily necessities, and she was relieved to see that she was doing a good job.

"This Saturday is the day when the internal employees of our supply and marketing cooperatives buy things this month, aren't you about to get married, there must be a lot to buy, and you should pick first."

Not to mention that when the welfare of the employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives is good, they can also be purchased internally! There are even certain discounts on the price, which is really profitable.

That night, when Cheng Zheng came to pick up Jian Lu from work, he heard her excitedly chatter, "Sister-in-law Jihong said, let me choose more, there are quite a lot of things on Saturday, all pillows, silk scarves, hair ropes, enamel basins with Xi characters for our marriage, and towels with Xi characters..."

Jian Lu thought of what to say, and before she thought that she was getting married too quickly, but now she was very interested when she thought of buying things for her small family.

She was an orphan in her previous life, and after working hard for several years, she finally bought a small two-room apartment, and not long after she moved in, she came to the 70s, when the conditions were difficult, and she was full of heart congestion.

Xu is due to her background, she has always longed to have a home of her own, and it is best to decorate it with her own hands.

Cheng Zheng listened silently, this was the side of Jian Lu that he had never seen.

I was seriously thinking about what to add to my home, from furniture cabinets to sofas and coffee tables, from clothes and towels to the magpie pattern or peony flower pattern for the thermos and enamel basins......

Cheng Zheng has always lived in a single dormitory in the army, and he does not like to buy things, and he thinks that the fewer things in the house, the better, and the more concise and clean the better.

Thinking about it, it seems pretty good.

"I'll come over that Saturday to help you get your things, and I've bought everything I can, so let's go to my dormitory first." If the supply and marketing cooperatives do not have it, you can go to the department store in the city to buy it. ”

"Good!" Jian Lu is a person of action, thinking that there are many things to buy, and the shopping desire in her chest is already burning, so she can't wait to start immediately, "By the way, have you applied for a house?" ”

"I have applied, and as soon as the marriage report and your political review are passed, I will apply for a house with a report. It just so happened that Lao Liang and his deputy head Zhang were going to be transferred and they would move out in two months, so it was just right for us to move in at that time. ”

"Really?" Jian Lu thought that she could be neighbors with Feng Xiuhui's family again, and she was very happy with Cui Yuhe's family upstairs and downstairs.

"Hmm!" Seeing that the object was happy, Cheng Zheng was also happy, only to feel that his heart was stuffed full. "You can be neighbors again, and you know them well, so you can live a comfortable life."

——

The planning of the new home was carried out in an orderly manner, and Jian Lu devoted herself to her work during the day.

She has a strong learning ability, and in a day or two, she basically memorized the general situation of the goods at each counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, and she was also comfortable in the face of passengers coming to buy things.

On this day, Sun Qiuyue finally returned to work, and suddenly saw an unfamiliar face at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she almost didn't think that a new person was coming.

"Qiuyue, this is Comrade Jian Lu, the new salesman, the head of the third regiment." Li Jihong enthusiastically introduced the two, "Lulu, this is Sun Qiuyue, the daughter-in-law of the logistics department, a few years older than you, just call your sister-in-law." ”

"Sister-in-law Qiuyue, hello."

Sun Qiuyue obviously didn't have any interest in meeting her new colleagues, so she just nodded and hurriedly put down her bag, "Our family Lan Lan is in poor health, and I came out after feeding the medicine." ”

Sun Qiuyue has a four-year-old girl in her family, who has never been in good health, and she loves to be sick for three days, everyone knows that Li Jihong is a person who has given birth to three babies in total, and she has shared her parenting experience again.

Jian Lu naturally couldn't interject on this kind of topic, she didn't even get married, at most she looked at the cute children and rubbed it.

"Comrade, show me the yellow silk scarf, thank you." Suddenly, two comrades, a man and a woman, came to the counter. Name to buy the most fashionable silk scarves now.

Yesterday, the supply and marketing cooperatives newly arrived a batch of silk scarves, the fabric is soft, the color is bright, very skin color, and several pieces are sold in a day, which can be popular.

The gay man who came to buy the silk scarf was wearing a blue overalls uniform with the words "garment factory" printed on his chest, and the woman was wearing a floral shirt and was asking Jian Lu to take the silk scarf.

Jian Lu took out a silk scarf from the cabinet and handed it over, and couldn't help but sell it, "This is a silk scarf from H City, it's fashionable." ”

She didn't lie, this silk scarf is indeed the hottest now, according to the words of later generations, it is a hit, leading the fashion trend.

The lesbian was obviously also satisfied, and she kept stroking it, and put it on her neck to try it, and looked in the mirror.

"How much is that?" The man spoke.
