"Uncle Liu, how is the situation in the south? I heard it's quite chaotic there."
“It’s true that in the beginning, you also know the virtues of those people.
They were unwilling to fail and wanted to counterattack but did not dare to go ashore.
It can only confuse some people who don't know the truth, which has a great impact on our work. "
Director Wang went into the kitchen to cook, and Li Aiguo and Liu Qingshan chatted in the main room.
The house has not been so lively for a long time.
Liu Qingshan also opened up the conversation and talked about his experience of working in the south.
"When I come back next time, I will bring you a piece of tiger skin and send it to the tanner Zhang's house in Mao'er Hutong. He will tan it and let your aunt make it into a leather mat. It will be spread on the fire pit in winter. It will be very comfortable!"
"Are there many tigers over there?"
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Qingshan, lighting it for him with a lighter.
"This stuff is pretty good."
Liu Qingshan looked at the lighter, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and continued while smoking: "I am responsible for the unified procurement of materials in the south. Last year alone, I received a thousand tiger skins."
"Before I came back, the villagers in Gaoping Village over there captured the Tiger King's son. That was the Tiger King's son, just like the prince in the feudal era."
"The prince has been arrested, so why not fight to the death?"
"The Tiger King got angry at that time and led hundreds of tigers to surround Gaoping Village. Fortunately, most of the villagers were old hunters, so they were able to hold on until the work team arrived."
"In that battle alone, we killed more than a dozen tigers."
Good guy.
Tigers in this era are really pitiful.
If in future generations, I could lie down in a zoo, I would be able to make a living and not have to worry about food and drink.
Li Aiguo said: "Then you didn't think about getting some whips or something?"
Liu Qingshan: "."
He really didn't think about it that way.
But it's conceivable.
From now on, I will drink one pill every month.
It's hard to say that old clams can grow pearls.
This is nothing to be ashamed of.
Kong Rong also praised it in "A Book with Wei Duan": "Unexpectedly, the old clam came out of the twin pearls, which is very precious."
Um.
It can be fixed.
Li Aiguo talked about driving trains.
The room was filled with laughter.
It seemed that there was hope. Director Wang got some kind of encouragement and worked very hard to fry a mushroom, fried bacon, and a green onion and an egg.
It looks simple, but it can be regarded as a high-end dish of this era.
That's not all, she took out the southern unique cloud cake as a snack.
Liu Qingshan was also very happy. He took out two bottles of wine and said that he wanted to drink Li Aiguo down.
Since becoming a train driver, Li Aiguo's drinking capacity has increased, while Liu Qingshan's drinking has made him unable to sit still.
"It's true that this old man can't drink, but he still insists on drinking with a young man like you."
Director Wang said a few words and helped Liu Qingshan back to the bedroom.
After coming out again, he poured a cup of tea for Li Aiguo, put some crackers in it, and sat down in front of Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo knew that the real drama was coming.
Take a sip of tea, holding the enamel jar in your hands.
really.
Director Wang smiled and said: "Patriot, I really don't know how to talk about this."
"They are all relatives. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Seeing that Li Aiguo was so happy, Director Wang told Li Aiguo about his idea of asking Li Aiguo to buy a batch of cement.
"We have to do our best to serve the people. If we use lime, the wall may collapse in a few years. It's better to do it once and for all."
"It's just that our subdistrict office doesn't have the channel to get cement, and I'd like to ask for your help."
Li Aiguo said: "We are all members of our own family. They can help or not, or how much cement is needed."
When Director Wang saw Youpu, he immediately became energetic.
"A twenty-meter wall with painted walls requires two tons of cement. Of course, if it is not painted, only one ton will be enough."
"This is something that is beneficial to the residents and affects the face of our street. If we want to do it, we should do it well. The cement on the pond is smooth and beautiful. We can't save materials."
Li Aiguo responded with a smile: "I can indeed make cement, and it can be delivered to the courtyard tomorrow. I just encountered a troublesome thing recently, and I just want to ask for your help."
"You kid, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't do this in front of my aunt." Director Wang straightened his body.
Li Aiguo smiled and asked, "How is the collective scrap collection store run by our street now?"
A few years ago.
The capital city embarked on a vigorous industrial and commercial transformation.
Mom-and-pop grocery stores and bicycle repair stalls on the streets have been transformed into state-owned commercial and supply and marketing cooperative stores or agency stores.
Originally in the large courtyard at the northwest corner of the street, the waste collectors became regular soldiers and became a collective waste shop in the courtyard neighborhood.
The name has been changed, the ownership has changed, and the level of service has also changed.
In the past, the purchase of goods from the front street has turned into waiting for the goods to be delivered to the residents' doorsteps.
Moreover, they were picky and dissatisfied among the residents.
What's more important is that the price of scraps purchased by collective scrap collection stores is much lower than that of illegal scrap shops.
After a few months, the collective waste collection store was deserted.
The sub-district office cannot compare with large units. It only has so much funds every year. It also has to subsidize poor households, so it can't take care of the collective waste collection shop.
Without financial subsidies, the wages of employees in collective waste collection stores cannot be paid.
The original scrap shop owner, after being hungry for several months, obediently changed his career and became a worker in a factory.
Those comrades sent by the sub-district office returned to the sub-district office and served as sub-district office officers.
Even the large yard, the only asset of the collective scrap collection store, was assigned to the briquette factory, which was used to sell coal to the people in the neighborhood.
The collective scrap collection store is almost gone, with only a sign left.
but.
Don't underestimate this sign.
With the status of the sub-district office, there is official background endorsement.
It belongs to a small collective and is allowed by national policy.
What Li Aiguo wants is to be a purchasing agent for a collective scrap shop.
Becoming a purchasing agent for the subordinates of the junk shop is also a small collective identity.
First, you can use your status as a scrap purchasing point to purchase "scrap".
Secondly, the scrap collection point also has the power to sell scraps and can directly connect with major factories in the capital. Some valuable items can also be sent to trust stores.
With the status of purchasing agent, you can play "edge ball".
"Are you interested in a collective scrap shop?"
Director Wang has been worrying about the collective scrap collection store.
Collective scrap collection stores are out of date.
But it cannot be abolished yet.
After all, this was established in response to the call of the superior department.
If they were laid off, it would be a slap in the face of the superior leaders.
"Come, let's talk to Auntie."
Director Wang became interested and stood up to pour a cup of tea for Li Aiguo.
"A friend of mine is interested. His family background is not good and he cannot enter the factory."
Li Aiguo drank tea and said: "I just want to find a bowl of food to eat. Although the work of collecting waste has been eliminated, I still make money by working with my hands."
"This is a good thing. Our street office is also worried about this matter,"
Director Wang nodded and said, "It's just that this matter involves the development of a small group and requires a meeting to discuss and decide. I will inform you after the meeting tomorrow."
"okay."
Li Aiguo responded cheerfully.
…
After Li Aiguo left, the door outside slowly closed, and the door to the inner room opened with a creak.
Liu Qingshan, who was drunk just now, now walked out wearing a Chinese tunic suit and swaying.
"Aren't you drunk?"
He was scolding, but without wasting any time on his hands, Director Wang poured him an enamel jar of high-breakfast tea.
After thinking for a moment, he took another half spoonful of brown sugar and put it into the tea, swung it twice and handed it over.
"If you're fighting for wine with a kid, you really deserve it, Lao Liu!"
Liu Qingshan took the enamel jar and took a sip of tea, the drunkenness on his face gradually fading away.
"I was drunk at first, but I woke up again when I heard what you were discussing outside."
He drank tea and looked at Director Wang: "Old Wang, you are also an old comrade. The idea of purchasing on behalf of the country that Aiguo proposed may cause problems. Logically speaking, you have to."
"Qingshan, I can understand your worries."
When it came to business, Director Wang's face became serious, "It is indeed suspected of being irregular, but there is no clear statement from above at all. It neither encourages nor prohibits it, especially in small groups, and there is no red line drawn. Streets You can play freely.
“You are not doing mass work, so you don’t understand the importance of scrap collection stores.
"Also, patriotism is about one's own children. Now that the children want to do something, can I, as an aunt, not support them?"
After listening, Liu Qingshan nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense. It seems that I have developed a habit of caution in the south.
Now that you have decided, I fully support you. With me standing behind you, no one dares to make trouble. "
Liu Qingshan is only in his early forties, his temples are already gray, and his forehead is covered with wrinkles.
Director Wang saw this and felt pain in his heart. He stood up and hugged his arm, whispering: "How about you find a way to transfer him back? There are so many units in the capital, but they can't accommodate a big leader like you?"
"It's not that easy. Our group of people are all on the list. It is a bright red flag that must not fall down, let alone retreat.
Besides, now that my job has finally improved, I can’t bear to leave. "
Liu Qingshan sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Old Liu from the office called me this afternoon and wanted me to go back quickly. We can't stay together for a few days."
He suddenly looked down at Director Wang, sparks flashing in his eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something, but it seemed inappropriate.
The old face turned red from suppressing it.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about we follow what the patriotic boy said. If you have a child to accompany you the whole time, I can rest assured."
"You are an old person who doesn't practice cultivation! You don't want to learn anything from Li Aiguo. You just want to learn these bad things."
Director Wang blushed with embarrassment.
Despite her age, she was a little shy, stood up, opened the cotton curtain and ran into the house.
Although her figure is no longer the same as before, even a little bloated, she is still full of shyness as before, which deeply touched Liu Qingshan.
He remembered what happened when he and Director Wang just got married.
The war was still going on at that time and conditions were difficult, so the two of them lived in a fellow villager's shack.
I really miss that unkempt straw bed.
Liu Qingshan stood up firmly and walked to the back room.
After the collective scrap collection shop went bankrupt.
Residents often send their waste to illegal waste dumps on the outskirts of the city.
It has had a negative impact on the people.
It violates the above-mentioned policy.
Director Wang of the sub-district office has been worried about this matter.
Li Aiguo's proposal for acquisition points is similar to providing help in times of need.
Go to work the next day.
Director Wang couldn't wait to hold an executive meeting of the subdistrict office.
at the meeting.
The leaders of the sub-district office unanimously approved the proposal to establish a collection point under the collective scrap shop.
And also recommended.
In order to serve the masses as quickly as possible and correct bad habits, the collection point must be established as soon as possible.
Li Aiguo received a notice from the sub-district office and rode his bicycle to Wang Dakui's house.
…
"A collection point under the collective scrap collection store?"
In the dilapidated shack of the Wang family.
When Wang Dakui heard the news, his eyes widened with excitement and he clenched his fists.
As a ticket seller running around in the pigeon market, no one knows better than him the importance of having a formal identity.
Compared with those who have formal work units, they are just motherless children who can be kicked by anyone. Even the dogs on the roadside will bark loudly when they see them.
"Bring your household registration page and Zhang Erpao's. Now follow me to the street office to go through the formalities."
Wang Dakui heard that Li Aiguo had established a relationship and called Zhang Erpao.
He got on his bicycle in a hurry and followed Li Aiguo to the street office.
Li Aiguo came to Director Wang's office with ease.
He knocked lightly on the door and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, I brought my friend."
"Patriot, come in quickly."
Director Wang put down his pen, stood up and poured tea for the two of them.
"At the conference just now, your acquisition point proposal has been approved, and the procedures can be completed immediately."
"Hey, Aunt Wang, you are really my aunt."
"You kid, you just know how to talk."
After chatting for a while, Director Wang looked up at Wang Dakui: "Is this your friend?"
Li Aiguo said: "His name is Wang Dakui, but today we are not going through the formalities in his own name."
As soon as these words came out, Director Wang frowned: "Patriot, is it possible that you want to do it yourself?"
Li Aiguo is an employee of the locomotive maintenance section and is considered an on-the-job employee.
Although there is no explicit rule that current employees cannot work part-time, if the employer finds out, they will definitely be criticized.
Li Aiguo waved his hand: "Aunt Wang, you misunderstood. I want the two of them to set up a cooperation group, and then sign the purchasing contract in the name of the cooperation group."
Cooperation groups, small collectives, how can this be done like a matryoshka doll?
Director Wang knew the policy relatively well. He thought for a moment and nodded slowly:
“Now we do have a policy of establishing cooperative groups. The few people riding on donkeys on the street next door have become the cooperative group on donkeys riding backwards.
Although business is still going on as usual, and you still have to pay for transporting goods by car, it is a reward for your labor and does not violate the regulations. "
Seeing Li Aiguo nodding, she continued: "In addition, the cooperation group is a small labor collective, a small collective unit under the leadership of the sub-district office. There is no exploitation, no oppression, and no suspicion of speculation."
Li Aiguo saw Director Wang and saw the secret.
He said with a smile: "In this way, the person in charge of the scrap collection point becomes a cooperative group instead of an individual, which makes it easier to communicate with the factory."
No matter what happens in this era, as long as you rely on the collective, there is absolutely nothing wrong.
Haven’t you seen that rural cooperative groups have begun to be upgraded to communes?
There are a lot of reports in newspapers these days!
Director Wang has been the director of the sub-district office for so many years and is very sensitive, so he nodded in agreement.
"This is a good idea. Our street office has indicators for establishing a cooperation group. I will help you write a supporting document later and send it to the district for filing later."
Wang Dakui and Zhang Erpao were stunned when they heard this.
This method can also be thought of, it is really amazing.
In fact, Li Aiguo was just preparing for a rainy day.
It's not that bad when it's windy or rainy.
No matter how strong the wind blows or how heavy the rain falls, people still have to wear clothes and eat.
There are still individual vendors selling candied haws on the streets, and old men sharpening scissors and cutting kitchen knives can still walk around the streets with their burdens.
Throughout thousands of years of history, no one would care about those who could not afford to eat.
in particular.
The job of collecting scrap is still very difficult.
Riding a donkey backwards through the streets, shouting loudly, and being dirty, how shameful!
The people in the capital are very nice, but ordinary people really can't do it.
I haven’t heard of anyone having trouble with the junk collectors.
Under the supervision of Director Wang.
The procedures for the cooperation group and the entrustment purchase agreement for the collective scrap shop were completed quickly.
Looking at the bright red seal on it, Wang Dakui and Zhang Erpao straightened their backs unconsciously.
This is the license, it is what you need to live and work in the future, it is what you need to eat.
"Brother Patriot, if you want to go eastward in the future, we will never go westward. Let us chase dogs and never chase roosters."
Although Li Aiguo did not join the cooperation group due to his identity, both Wang Dakui and Zhang Erpao knew who was really in charge.
The two procedures just mentioned seemed reasonable and legal, but if it had been anyone else, even if they came to the door with a small yellow croaker, they wouldn't have been able to go through it.
Sometimes, the power of favor is far greater than money.
Out of the street office.
The three-person cooperation group gathered under the old camphor tree and held its first meeting of all members.
at the conference.
Li Aiguo suggested: "Working in a business is like a business. Since we have built a sign, we must open a scrap shop."
Wang Dakui nodded and said: "It's best to find a slightly larger yard, one that doesn't leak. My mother and I will move in there. When it rains, her legs will get sick. I think It has something to do with the humidity in the house.”
Even though Wang Dakui has countless shortcomings, he really has nothing to say to my mother.
I made some money a while ago and quickly went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a new floral quilt.
It’s just that it’s been raining in Beijing these past few days.
The shack was in tatters. It was raining heavily outside and light rain inside. Within a few days, the quilt was soaked.
"I remember there was a shabby courtyard not far from the courtyard."
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette and handed one to Wang Dakui. He also lit one and smoked happily.
"The courtyard is the old Sanjin courtyard that was left over from earlier. The owner of the courtyard used to open a pawnshop at the corner of the street. After liberation, he ran to the other side. Now the property rights are owned by the street, so we can rent it."
"There shouldn't be seven or eight houses in Sanjin's courtyard? Isn't it too big?" Wang Dakui felt a little worried about money.
Li Aiguo chuckled: "The waste can only be collected when the venue is large. Besides, you will get married in the future, so you can't live in one room as a family."
Wang Dakui's throat was choked, and he tried to say words of thanks, but he couldn't.
No matter how gorgeous the language is, it is difficult to describe his mood at this moment.
Several people are discussing how to become bigger and stronger.
In the distance, a half-year-old child staggered over on a bicycle.
The kid from Li Laoyuan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother Dakui, the brake is broken, please help me."
Wang Dakui strode up and grabbed the back seat of the bicycle, so that the child could jump off the bicycle.
As soon as he stood firm, he saluted Wang Dakui: "Chief, Scout Little Black Dan has an urgent military intelligence report."
Wang Dakui had a black line on his face and patted him on the head: "You don't know how to speak well?"
Little Heitan scratched his head and smiled: "Brother Dakui, didn't you ask me to follow Liu Changyi these two days?"
Li Aiguo also understood clearly from the side.
He handed over the tracking task to Wang Dakui, who in turn handed it over to the half-grown child.
He would be lazy.
Wang Dakui looked at Li Aiguo and smiled awkwardly: "Aiguo, don't look at this kid. He's not very young, but he learned investigation from his neighbor, Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang is from the investigation company. Whoever you want to follow is up to you. You can’t even detect it with your eyes.”
Come to think of it, who would doubt a half-year-old child?
Li Aiguo took out 1 yuan from his pocket and asked Zhang Erpao to buy four bottles of Arctic Ocean and share them with everyone.
When Little Black Egg saw the Arctic Ocean, his eyes lit up instantly.
"I knew I could get military pay by being a scout."
"Snapped"
Wang Dakui jumped on his forehead.
"That's called salary, and it's military pay! Are you a scout for the warlord? Don't talk so much, and tell Brother Patriot what you found out."
Little Black Dan also saw that Li Aiguo was in charge.
Holding the glass bottle in hand, she walked up to him, with an angry look on her face.
"Brother Patriot, that guy Liu Changyi is really nothing."
"what happened?"
"Yesterday he stopped that good-looking sister again, robbed her of five dollars, ran to the west of Chaoyang Park, and lost everything in the blink of an eye."
The good-looking sister should be Zhao Yazhi.
The grove to the west of Chaoyang Park has dense trees, roads extending in all directions, and the cover of big trees. The gangsters in the capital like to play cards there.
The new society cannot tolerate such filthy places, and the streets have been cleaned up several times.
As a result, those gangsters took off their shirts, held them in their hands, jumped into the lake, held their breath and dived to the other side, put on their clothes again, and ran away.
Comrades from the sub-district office can only act anxiously.
"After losing the money, Liu Changyi went to half-close the door again and didn't come out until midnight." The little black egg looked disgusted: "How can such a person be worthy of a good-looking sister?"
"You said he likes to leave the door ajar?" Li Aiguo asked.
"Yes, as long as this kid has money, he will do anything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling." Little Black Dan nodded.
This is not surprising, Liu Changyi's ancestors were smokers.
Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and mice are born to dig holes.
Maybe we can start from this aspect.
"Comrade little black egg, you"
Li Aiguo waved, and when Little Heitan's ear came closer, he whispered a few words.
"Gao, patriotic brother, your method is still clever!"
Little Black Egg gave a thumbs up.
"I'll do it right away."
"Remember to be careful not to be discovered by Liu Changyi."
"Brother Patriot, don't worry, I am an excellent scout."
After Little Black Egg left.
The cooperative group meeting gathered under the old camphor tree and continued the meeting.
at the conference.
The group members spoke enthusiastically.
The atmosphere was very warm to provide suggestions and suggestions for the establishment of collective waste collection points and purchasing points.
Although the purchasing agency is the smallest group, it requires a lot of expenses.
For example, rent a house, buy a riding donkey, a lifting scale, a broken gong, some sacks, and a pastoral dog.
After discussing for a while.
All members of the cooperation group feel that the current funds cannot support the huge plan.
We should adopt the strategy of building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and slowly becoming king.
After transporting goods a few more times and saving enough funds, you can open a scrap collection point.
One penny stumps three heroic men.
The three of them scattered.
Wang Dakui returned to the sub-district office and asked the clerk from the sub-district office to ride on the donkey in the canteen and go with him to the cement factory to transport cement.
They wanted to use jeeps for transportation like Li Aiguo, but the street office was not equipped with jeeps!
A full dozen miles and two tons of cement.
It is still summer, the weather is hot, but the two young men working in the street office are very tired.
I have to drive tomorrow.
As Li Aiguo walked back, he felt as if he had forgotten something.
When he saw the dried fish hanging at the door of Yan's house, he suddenly patted his forehead.
Yan Bugui was still waiting for him to arrange work for Yan Jiecheng.
Riding a tandem bicycle back to the locomotive depot, I came to the deputy chief of the personnel department, Mr. Zhang, to inquire about the temporary worker, who was Zhang Yazhi's uncle.
Before liberation, employers could fire workers at will, so there was no such thing as regular workers, and there was no such thing as temporary workers.
After liberation, the people became the masters of the country and workers became the masters of the factories.
Leaders are the servants of workers. How can there be any reason in this world for a servant to dismiss his master?
So these workers became regular workers.
As long as they don't make mistakes, factories and units have no power to fire them, and they are given a real 'iron rice bowl'.
The Ministry of Labor's "Measures for Construction Engineering Units to Recruit Construction Workers in Other Places to Enter into Labor Contracts" introduced the concept of temporary workers in the document for the first time.
Temporary workers have lower wages than regular workers.
They do not enjoy the benefits of their own unit, and the employer can fire temporary workers at any time.
The year has arrived, 1957.
In order to achieve the various goals of "working hard, surpassing the United Kingdom in three years, and catching up with the United States in five years".
The city is in desperate need of workers.
In order to save costs and use labor more flexibly, a large number of temporary workers have been added to the construction team.
Old man Zhang was heard muttering about a lot of 'temporary workers'.
Li Aiguo felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Isn’t this the “labor dispatch” of later generations?
The intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese people have already begun to show signs in this era.
"The temporary workers in our locomotive depot are different. Because they can change their registration, they are in short supply and require recruitment quotas. According to the regulations of the locomotive depot, masters can be allocated a recruitment quota every year."
"Master?"
"That's the train driver, the deputy director of the workshop, the director, and the leaders of various departments."
Good guy, workers can enjoy the same benefits as leading cadres, which is simply unimaginable in future generations.
Li Aiguo nodded and said, "Section Chief Zhang, I would like to recommend someone."
With the help of Old Man Zhang, Li Aiguo quickly obtained the recruitment quota and could immediately bring people to work in the locomotive depot.
After leaving the office of the Human Resources Department, Li Aiguo was about to ride his bicycle back to the courtyard, but old man Zhang didn't forget to run up to remind him.
"Patriot, our quota is nothing in the ranks, but it would be very valuable outside."
"Thank you Uncle Zhang for reminding me, I understand!"
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette and gave it to Old Man Zhang, then got on his bicycle and ran away.
"Hey little bastard, don't suffer any loss. If that girl Yazhi hadn't been begging me every now and then, I wouldn't have cared about your business!"
Old Man Zhang took the cigarette, smelled it in his nose, and clamped it carefully to his ears.
"It's a good cigarette, but I've already smoked two today. If I smoke again, I'll get nagging from my old lady. What a pity!"
Of course we, Li Aiguo, cannot suffer a loss.
After returning to the courtyard.
Just pretend that everything about the Yan family has been completely forgotten.
First, we 'inspected' the decoration site.
Then he squatted under the shade of the old camphor tree, chatting with Captain Liu, Aunt Liu, and He Yuyu.
The shade of the trees is cool, the fragrance of tea is strong, and life is very comfortable.
Wait until evening.
After helping the workers of the construction team pack up their belongings, Li Aiguo prepared to return to the locomotive depot.
Xu Yanjia heard something.
As soon as Li Aiguo pushed his bicycle to the door of Yan's house, the third uncle rushed out of the house, joined Yan and pulled him in.
"Third uncle, please slow down, the button is about to be ripped off."
"What a big deal. If it falls off, let your third aunt help you sew it up."
As soon as you enter the house.
Then I saw the third aunt walking out with a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
When he saw Li Aiguo entering the house, he said hello to him and went to work in the kitchen again.
On the square table next to it, three dishes have been placed, one with peanuts, one with scrambled eggs with green onions, and one with stir-fried three corianders.
This is the level of a treat for normal people, but for the third uncle, this time it was really a big hemorrhage.
"Patriot, sit down."
Li Aiguo said politely: "Third uncle, what are you doing? There is food in the maintenance section."
"The food in the locomotive depot is not as delicious as the food at home." The third uncle reluctantly pulled Li Aiguo to sit down.
"Speaking of which, you started working a while ago. Our two families have been neighbors for many years. Your father is no longer here, so he is your elder. I originally wanted to give you a meal, but I didn't have enough money at that time. I’ve made up for it today.”
Li Aiguo secretly complained: It's not about Yan Jiecheng's work.
But there was a smile on his face, and he joked: "The third uncle is still open-minded!"
"Your father and I were old friends back then. I wrote all the couplets in your family, and I never received a retouching fee. The relationship between our two families is called a kiss!"
As the third uncle spoke, he opened a bottle of wine and filled it for Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo quickly took it with both hands.
Yes, yes.
The wine glass was not brought to his mouth.
joke.
The third uncle was the host at the wedding banquet, carrying empty wine bottles and collecting wine from table to table.
Who knows how many bottles of wine are in this glass of wine?
