The thief had already been tied up, and the old man also went to the thief and took a handkerchief from him. Li Laifu was still eating and rolling around in his mouth, and did not step forward to help. He cursed in his heart, even if the mother's space is not enough, He didn't even have any adventures. This old man didn't even wear a Chinese tunic suit. He didn't look like a leader at first glance.
The old man opened the handkerchief and found only two or three dollars in it. Li Laifu lost interest at all and disappeared into the crowd regardless of the group's orders.
After wandering around for a while, I saw an interesting place. Li Laifu was squatting at a candy man's stall. There was a small box at the feet of a man in his 40s. There was a sign behind him that actually said "state-owned". The man put down his cigarette pot and thought Li Laifu If you want to buy it, just take out a piece of candy with a wooden stick, rub it on the board, and ask: "What animal do you want?".
Li Laifu answered simply: "I won't buy it."
The man was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Laifu, who didn't look like he had any money. He didn't expect that he was also looking at him to satisfy his craving.
The man put the candy into the box with a bang and said, "Why don't you buy it and squat so close? Go to the front and squat with those kids."
There were seven or eight children squatting in front of them. Of course, there was no shortage of adults watching the fun, but everyone was standing. Only Li Laifu came to the front, and Li Laifu also got angry. The key is that this guy had a bad tone, "This place is your home." of?"
"What are you talking about, kid? I'm setting up a stall here. This place is mine. Why did I tell you to stay away?" The sugar man was also angry. It was the first time he saw a kid talking like this.
"Then why don't you set up a stall in front of Tiananmen Square? That place belongs to you too," Li Laifu said, blaming the man for his life.
Hahaha……,
The people watching the fun all laughed, this kid spoke so energetically.
Hearing this, the adults and the group of children who were watching the fun also came closer. Yes, this place does not belong to his family, so why can't they get closer?
"You're making trouble, aren't you?"
Li Laifu rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with you? I'm bothering you by squatting here? What does it have to do with me if you want to talk to me?"
This person was also unpopular, and a group of spectators also interjected: "They haven't messed with you, so why should you say they are causing trouble?"
The chatter was confusing, and the candy seller was confused. He was just a street vendor, not a state-owned hotel. He was a group of people. He didn't dare to cause public anger. In this era, if he was beaten by a group, then You can only accept your fate.
The man's tone became less serious and asked: "Boy, what do you want? I'll give you one. You can take it and leave quickly."
Li Laifu shook his head and replied: "I don't want it."
He was not short of money to take advantage of this. If this man hadn't been mean-mouthed, he wouldn't have said anything. He just wanted to watch the fun, and this thing would not be seen in future generations.
It makes sense not to be able to see it. Which parent allows his or her child to eat other people's breath? Not many people in this era brush their teeth. People in factories have tickets, and most ordinary people rub their mouths with salt. Not to mention that toothpaste and toothbrushes cost money. Many people are reluctant to buy it, so this person wants to give him candy? He won't eat it even if he pays for it.
"You're awesome," the man said simply. He stood up, slung the wooden box over his shoulder, picked up the horse from the ground, tied it up, and left.
The streetwalker had nothing to do anymore, so he continued to stroll around Qianmen Street. Many things here would be gone from now on, except that there was no camera, which was a pity. It was already noon when I got home.
"Director Zhang of Laifu wants you to go to the street," Grandma Liu said at the door.
"I got it, Grandma Liu," Li Laifu walked to the door and walked towards the street again. He didn't need to think about it to know that he had received his junior high school diploma.
"Aunt Zhang, call me," Li Laifu entered Director Zhang's office.
"You little boy is quite strict with your mouth," Director Zhang said in a confused manner.
Li Laifu was stunned for a moment, looking at Director Zhang and waiting for him to continue.
Director Zhang pointed to the stool and said, "Sit down. If Director Tan hadn't asked me to issue a certificate, I wouldn't have known about your work."
Only then did Li Laifu understand what was going on? She smiled and said: "Aunt Zhang, this matter hasn't been completed yet, how dare I go anywhere and say it!"
Director Zhang didn't blame him. It was the same thing for anyone. She took out a small book from the drawer and handed it to her and said, "I brought you the graduation certificate."
Li Laifu looked at the graduation certificate, and Director Zhang said: "I have written down your certification materials and your family situation clearly for you. I even wrote down for you the last time you caught a spy. Director Tan also wrote down After saying this, it’s basically settled.”
Li Laifu was not surprised by this, after all, the 1,000 yuan was actually handed over.
Director Zhang looked at Li Laifu and said, "You have to thank Director Tan. He personally went to the branch to handle your political review."
In this era, as long as you are a cadre, no matter how big or small, your family situation must be reported to the organization. This is Tan Erdan’s help. If you don’t have any acquaintances, they will come to understand your thoughts. It seems simple, but there is a cross in the political review. The whole life It will be a big problem in the future.
Li Laifu took out his last pound of pork head meat and put it on the table and said, "I not only want to thank Uncle Tan, but I also want to thank you, Aunt Zhang."
"Why do you have this thing? Grocery stores no longer sell it now," Director Zhang asked in surprise.
Li Laifu didn't hide anything and said: "Aunt Zhang, I asked the chef of the steel rolling mill to help make this."
"You're a very capable kid. You know a lot of people. You're the fool from Courtyard No. 95, right?" Director Zhang said with a smile.
"It's him!"
Director Zhang said with emotion: "His father used to be famous for his craftsmanship in our area, but there is nothing happening here. He Daqing also ran away on his own, ruining his son's reputation and making it difficult to find a partner in our city. .”
Li Laifu thought about it and it was true. These days, reputation is still very important.
After chatting for a while, Director Zhang enthusiastically sent him to the door. These days, giving someone food and drink is more effective than any gift.
Li Laifu went out of the city without even returning home. He wandered outside Dongzhimen for more than an hour before finding a secluded place. If someone came 500 meters away, he would see it immediately.
There is only one Dashu pig left in the space. The pig's head, pig's tail, and pig's trotters are all braised. I had a steamed bun for lunch. The pig's head was braised at about two o'clock in the afternoon and was placed in the planting space for soaking.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Nanluogu Lane. Old man Qiao was smoking a cigarette at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the monkey was lying on the tricycle as usual.
As soon as Li Laifu walked past, he yelled: "Where is Uncle Qiao playing monkey?"
Old man Qiao was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Laifu and arched his mouth. He glanced at the monkey on the tricycle.
Ahem….
Old man Qiao patted his chest and pointed at Li Laifu,
"Don't look at me. I won't give you a reward if you do. This is the first time I've seen a sleeping monkey. In the past, you would have starved to death for your skills," Li Laifu said and ran away.
"Director, is your family out of food? Why did Laifu say you are going to starve to death?" Monkey fell asleep in a daze just in time to catch up with Li Laifu's last words.
Old man Qiao finally finished breathing. He couldn't smoke this cigarette, and his mouth was burning. He stamped out the cigarette butt, took half of the cigarette, and teased the monkey and said, "He said that if I am not good at monkey tricks, I will starve to death."
Monkey said seriously: "Director, you are too greedy. Your salary as director is much higher than ours. Why are you still making money by playing monkey tricks? Why do you need so much money? You are already so old. "
