Several people returned to the department store.
There are only two commuter trains a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. It's not time to go home yet.
With nothing to do and nothing to worry about, the other three people casually strolled around the department store.
Because of Cheng Hui's relationship, everyone was very polite to them, and they didn't even roll their eyes at them even if they didn't buy it.
The three of them wondered, could this be Cheng Hui's purpose to please them?
Cheng Hui went to find Li Fang again.
"Sister Fang, who has egg stamps in their hands? How many kilograms of eggs do I want to buy?" Cheng Hui asked politely.
She was so invisible, Sister Li became Sister Fang again, and Li Fang was even happier.
"Do you want to buy eggs? How many? Give them as gifts or eat them yourself?" Li Fang asked in a low voice.
When Cheng Hui heard this, she realized that this was not just a matter of egg stamps. She said, "Is it inconvenient to buy too many at once? I want to buy seven or eight kilograms to eat by myself first. The child is growing fat, so I will give her some supplements." .”
Of course, you can’t say that you bought it for production. A food factory doesn’t even have seven or eight pounds of eggs? What a joke!
It's worthless for her, the deputy director, to follow her.
Li Fang is also a mother. She knows how she feels when she is pregnant, and of course what is good for the child.
"You can eat it yourself. Is it okay if the egg skin is slightly broken?" Li Fang asked, fearing that she was a young lady and wouldn't be able to accept broken eggs.
"It's just that the skin is broken, isn't it stale? I'm afraid it will ruin my stomach." Cheng Hui said.
Li Fang smiled: "If you don't know the sufferings of the world, where can you find overnight eggs? The eggs would just fall from the chicken's butt into the people's rice pot!"
This is an exaggeration, but it's almost the same.
Nowadays, a household can supply 1 catty of eggs a month, sometimes more and sometimes less. It is the owner of the household registration book, not one person.
For households with more than 10 people, the share of eggs is 2 pounds per month.
Anyway, there are few eggs and many people, so demand exceeds supply.
Every time eggs arrive at grocery stores, they are sold out immediately.
The chicken farm does not store eggs and supplies eggs to various departments every day.
Some units that are short of eggs even stay at the chicken farm to pick up the next one! I'm afraid of being snatched away by others.
Just like a pastry factory like theirs that lives on eggs, it would really die without eggs.
Guo Dajun also went to beg for help, but he had no money and no formalities. He was ignored and even gave him no egg shells. How about asking him for chicken manure?
Cheng Hui smiled: "As long as the eggs are not bad, even if they don't have shells! I won't pick them now."
This means that you used to be very picky?
Li Fang glanced at her belly and was curious to death. What happened to her? Is your family in ruins?
Cheng Hui felt that it was time to reveal some news, otherwise these people would be left to guess what kind of rumors would spread.
This careless eldest sister is also suitable as a sounding board.
She suddenly approached Li Fang and whispered: "Sister Fang and I hit it off right away. It doesn't matter to tell you the truth. I'm just a little embarrassed...
"I was actually an educated youth who came here last year. Not long after I arrived, I fell into a pond in our production team. I happened to be rescued by a soldier brother who was returning home on vacation."
She blushed and said: "If it weren't for him, I would be dead. In order to repay him, I will marry him and stay here.
"Otherwise I should go home now. My dad got really angry with me because of this."
Not every educated youth will be unable to return to the city after being released. They will have to stay until 1976 or after the college entrance examination is resumed before they can return to the city.
Some people with connections returned to the city within a few months.
In 1973, policies were loosened and educated youth returned to the city in large numbers.
"You, you, you..." Li Fang looked at Cheng Hui and didn't know what to say to her!
In what age is it still popular to repay a life-saving favor with your body?
Cheng Hui raised his head, blinked his sparkling eyes, squirmed, and blushed with embarrassment.
Li Fang understood immediately. It seemed that it was more than just a life-saving grace...
"Is that boy good-looking?" she blurted out.
"Yeah!" Cheng Hui nodded shyly.
Li Fang understood now.
She is also a woman, she has also been young, and she blushes and her heart skips a beat when she sees the good-looking little brother.
She looked at Cheng Hui with sympathy and pity in her eyes.
Although this "eldest lady" from the capital is eloquent and shrewd, she is still a girl who foolishly abandons her family for love and marries a poor boy...
Hard times are yet to come!
But now that you are married and you have children, it is too late.
Moreover, people have told her this kind of inner truth, and they really don’t treat her as an outsider!
Li Fang immediately said: "There is a Xiao Wang in the logistics department. His uncle is the manager of a non-staple food store. You only need six or seven kilograms of eggs, absolutely no problem!"
She blinked and said, "They're just broken eggs, don't worry, they're not too broken!"
Good eggs must be sold normally, broken eggs can be left to operate, whether to sell them to employees as benefits, or to sell favors...
Cheng Hui had only heard of these twists and turns in her previous life, but had never experienced them, because by the time she came to her senses and used any means to strengthen herself, she had already bought eggs casually.
"Thank you so much, Sister Fang, for your advice! But I'm not familiar with this little king..." Cheng Hui said.
Li Fang had already come out of the counter, holding her hand and walking upstairs: "Let's go, I will take you to find him. This Xiao Wang is the cousin of my aunt's cousin, and he is also my cousin. I'll talk Good job!"
Cheng Hui looked at her and smiled sweetly.
Li Fang suddenly became even more curious about who her husband was, that he could attract such a beautiful person and even praise him for his good looks!
When the two arrived at the purchasing department's office, Li Fang shouted: "Wang Bin, come out."
Wang Bin looked back and saw that it was his cousin who was turning around. Standing next to him was Axian Xiaocheng, today's man of the hour. He immediately burst into laughter.
"Cousin, is something wrong?"
It’s not a shameful thing. Of all the employees in the department store, who hasn’t bought a “broken egg” through Wang Bin?
"I want to buy 10 pounds of broken eggs! Choose the right ones." Li Fang stood in the corridor and whispered.
"Oh." Wang Bin glanced at Cheng Hui and said: "Ten pounds of broken eggs is a small thing, that's it. I don't know if there are still so many."
He could tell at a glance that it was Cheng Hui who wanted the eggs. His cousin said this so that he could not refuse.
He didn't want to refuse, this Xiao Cheng looked so pleasing to the eye!
It's a pity that he is already married, and others are also married, so there is no chance.
"I don't care, even if you dig into the chicken's butt, you still have to dig out 10 kilograms of eggs for me today! I want it now!" Li Fang said.
If it was before Cheng Hui told her the "secret", she could only make a bridge, but there was no guarantee when she would buy it.
It's different now, people are really hurting her, and she can't do errands!
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, so I'm going to dig it out of the chicken's butt for you now."
Wang Bin said that he went back to the office, picked up his clothes, and walked out without asking for money or tickets.
Before leaving, he glanced at Cheng Hui with admiration.
What kind of ecstasy soup was given to his cousin? We just met, right? Not his long-lost cousin, right? !
