Tan Erdan said jokingly: "I know you can't smoke good cigarettes, Old Wu, so you'd better smoke this Chinese cigarette for me."
Although Old Wu's face turned red from coughing, he still pulled the Chinese cigarette into the drawer.
After taking a few deep breaths, he said to Erdan Tan: "Old Tan, what's wrong with you, this little brat's grandson?"
Tan Erdan also said with a smile: "He is really his grandson. This boy has a higher seniority in the village and is from the same family."
Old Wu nodded after hearing his explanation. These days, there are many children who are elders, but it is the first time for a child to find a job for his grandson.
Old Wu looked at Li Laifu and said, "How old is your grandson?"
"18 years old."
Old Wu nodded and said: "The age is just right. Just ask him to come to me here with the certificate from the village. The salary is nine yuan a month, but there are two meals, because they all work at night. , I basically sleep during the day, and if I have training during the day, I can eat three meals.”
Li Laifu nodded. These days, the security brigade patrols alone, unlike in later generations where one policeman led two joint defense members or three patrols. Nine yuan is secondary. These two meals can solve a big problem. Well, for these two meals, it’s all a favor to whoever arranges them.
"He doesn't have to come by himself, I can just send him here when the time comes," Li Laifu said.
Lao Wu looked at Li Laifu and said, "You are a very responsible little grandfather. You even send your grandson to work."
Tan Erdan knew that Li Laifu often went to the pigeon market and said to him: "This is your uncle Wu Changyou. You can just call him uncle Wu from now on. If anything happens to the security brigade, just mention his name."
"Old Wu, he lives in Nanluogu Lane. His name is Li Laifu. This guy is very interesting, and he is not annoying."
Some people talk so much that Wu Changyou basically understands it. For Tan Erdan to introduce them like this means that they have a good relationship.
Li Laifu called Uncle Wu, and Old Wu nodded and said, "Since Old Tan has said so, I will recognize you as my nephew."
Li Laifu arrived at the door of the police station, separated from Erdan Tan, walked to the wall between the police station and the purchasing station, took out a pheasant, and walked to the purchasing station. Old man Zhang was sitting in the yard smoking a pipe pot.
"Old man Zhang, do you want to buy pheasants?" He gave the old man some extra help. Without him, his happiness would be half less.
Old man Zhang came over immediately when he saw the pheasant, but said: "This is a street on one side and a police station on the other. You are a coward selling pheasants in front of my door."
Li Laifu pointed to Zitian and said, "There are people above me, I'm not afraid of them."
Lao Zhangtou took the pheasant and looked through it twice, then said: "Blow as hard as you can. If you have the ability, try selling a rooster here. See if the next door can catch it and you're done? Go home quickly and let's Your aunt makes soup for you to drink."
"You old man, I brought them here specially for you. I have two of them at home. I bought them for five yuan each outside Dongzhimen. Do you want it? If not, can I leave? Give it to Director Zhang next door. He must be very happy. ," Li Laifu pretended to leave.
Old Man Zhang grabbed the pheasant and asked, "Do you really keep it at home?"
Old man Zhang looked at Li Laifu and nodded, opened the front of his coat and took out a newspaper bag from the sewn pocket.
Li Laifu said with a mocking look on his face: "Are you this old man so poor? People use a handkerchief to carry money, why did you wrap it in a newspaper?"
Old man Zhang opened the paper bag and said, "You know what the heck, sometimes you don't bring paper with you when you go to the toilet. That's the key. I'll give you a handkerchief, if you're willing to wipe your butt with it."
"You old man is such a loser. I just asked you casually, why did you go to the toilet again?" Li Laifu said with a look of disgust.
Old man Zhang took out a big black card, snatched Li Laifu's pheasant, put the money in his hand and said, "You don't want to listen to me, and I don't want to see you, so get out of here."
"You are so confused. I bought each one for five yuan. Why did you give me ten yuan?" Li Laifu shook the money and said.
"Any more will be considered as errand fees for you," Old Man Zhang walked towards the concierge with a smile on his face while holding the pheasant.
The old man's errand fee was quite generous. Li Laifu followed him to the concierge, and bang, Old Man Zhang locked him out and said, "Get out of here."
Li Laifu smiled and said through the door: "You old man is quite treacherous. It would be nice to buy you one, but you actually want me to buy you a second one."
Li Laifu kept the money in his pocket and would give it to him next time if he had something good. This old man was a lonely old man and he had no place to spend his monthly salary.
Li Laifu came out of the purchasing station and went to Nanluogu Lane. When he reached No. 88, he did not enter the house. Instead, he went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. There was fruit in his bag and he had to pick up his sister first.
When he entered the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw Li Laifu laughing. Old man Qiao was lecturing him. The key was that his sister Li Xiaohong stood straight behind his mother.
Hearing laughter, Old Man Qiao turned around and saw it was Li Laifu, "I'm talking, brat. Why are you laughing? Wait at the door."
In just five minutes, Old Man Qiao arranged for the expansion of the supply and marketing cooperative to be regular. Xiao Zhang was responsible for collecting money and issuing invoices, Aunt Liu was responsible for selling food, Zhao Fang was responsible for selling farm tools, Qian Erbao was responsible for moving goods, Monkey was responsible for purchasing goods, and Li Laifu I really admire Old Man Qiao. This old man is really making use of waste. Monkey and his uncle are in the bureau. He only needs to arrange things and let Monkey purchase the goods. Even if the goods are tight, Monkey can force them to come over from his uncle.
"Okay, let's all get busy," Old Man Qiao finished.
"Uncle Qiao, there is another little one, you haven't arranged it yet?" Li Laifu pointed at Li Xiaohong.
Li Xiaohong glanced around and saw that everyone had left, then she ran towards Li Laifu. She didn't dare to move just now.
The little old man touched Li Xiaohong's head with a smile on his face and said, "She can just be responsible for eating."
"Big brother, big brother, big brother."
Li Laifu quickly picked up the little girl and took out a banana from his schoolbag. The little girl smelled it hard with her nose, wondering what it was?
Li Laifu peeled the banana open in two or three times and put it into the little girl's mouth. Suddenly he felt quiet next to him. He looked up and saw six people in the supply and marketing cooperative looking at him.
"Uncle Qiao, you, the director of a supply and marketing cooperative, are you looking at me like this?"
Old man Qiao said with a smile: "How come I don't get one banana a year? Fruits are not bought casually. They must be supplied to those in need first. Then it is our turn..."
The look in their eyes made him feel uncomfortable. "Forget it, forget it," he said and took out four apples. Anyway, he had planted the apples and the harvest would only last a few days.
He threw an apple to Old Man Qiao, then took another apple and broke it in half. He put half of the apple in the little girl's hand and said, "Auntie, you and Xiaohong share one, and Aunt Liu divides the remaining two between the four of you."
Old man Qiao said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite. I will take the apple and go back to the office."
"Laifu, you can eat it yourself, Auntie doesn't want it," Zhao Fang said, waving her hands.
