The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 104, Visiting the Department Store

The next day, the imperial capital that had snowed was completely white.

Although the temperature is relatively low, the weather is not bad, the sun is bright and the sky is blue, which is quite suitable for travel.

After getting up in the morning and washing up, Li Weiguo went straight to the small courtyard in Dongzhimen.

Yesterday when the pay was closed, he greeted Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun and asked them to come to the small courtyard to pick up their things, so he came early to prepare.

Not long after, Zheng Shan and the others also arrived.

"Everything is there, one bag per person, take it back to improve life at home." Li Weiguo said, pointing to the two sacks on the table.

Zheng Shan and the two of them glanced at the sack on the table, it was bulging, and it looked like it contained a lot of things.

Immediately gratefully said: "Commander, thank you, always trouble you to take care of us."

Yang Xiaojun next to him also looked grateful, but he was rather stupid and not good at speaking emotional words, so he could only keep them in his heart.

"Okay, don't be pretentious, just take your things and go back early." Li Weiguo waved his hand.

"Yes, Chief."

Zheng Shan obediently stepped forward and picked up one of the sacks.

It feels wrong to mention this.

It was too heavy, forty or fifty catties.

So Zheng Shan quickly opened it and took a look inside.

"hiss"

This look almost made Zheng Shan's eyeballs pop out.

On the top of the bag, there was a large net bag of eggs, and I reached in and lifted it, which weighed ten catties.

Under the eggs is a bag of white flour, which weighs about twenty catties, and is the best rich and strong powder.

Scrolling down, there were twenty catties of pork at the bottom, all of which were high-quality fat meat, with only a little bit of lean meat.

That white fat meat almost made Zheng Shan dizzy.

"Chief, this."

Now Zheng Shan was a little embarrassed to take it. There were too many things. These things cost more than 20 yuan and required corresponding tickets. Four or five ordinary families may not be able to buy so much at one time.

Seeing Zheng Shan's strange behavior, Yang Xiaojun also quickly opened the bag.

Come on, it’s okay if you don’t read it, but after reading it, I’m too embarrassed to take it, and I’m at a loss for what to do.

"Look at the two of you who have never seen the world, just this little thing can calm you down?"

"Don't worry, I have friends in the supply and marketing cooperative. It's not difficult for me to get things that others can't easily." Li Weiguo waved his hand to reassure them.

Zheng Shan saw Li Weiguo's unconcerned look. He also knew that his unit chief was a wealthy man and was usually very generous.

I thought that since I couldn't refuse, I would do something good to repay the favor in the future, so I said sheepishly: "Then we will take it?"

"Okay, get your stuff and get out, let's see how promising you are."

"Hey hey hey, let's get out of here. On the second day of the new year, Xiaojun and I will come to your house to give you New Year's greetings."

After delivering the things to Zheng Shan and the other two, Li Weiguo didn't stay here long, got on his bicycle and headed towards the department store.

It's the end of the year and it's almost time to buy yourself some New Year's goods. Otherwise, how can you use up the stacks of tickets that Hamster helped collect? Most of them are valid until the end of this year, and new tickets will be issued next year. So I still have to use it quickly.

Along the way, there were quite a few pedestrians, and everyone on the street came out early to shop for new year's goods.

The shops on both sides of the street are also busy at this time. Those who come out to buy cloth, preserved fruits, non-staple food, and repair leather shoes. The whole street is very lively.

Riding to Jiaodaokou East Street, Li Weiguo saw an acquaintance at the bus stop, and out of curiosity, he rode there.

Ride closer and take a look.

It was the little girl He Yushui, who seemed to be accompanied by a female classmate, and the two were waiting for the bus at the bus station.

The temperature in the morning was relatively low, about four or five degrees below zero, and the two little girls blushed from the cold. They rubbed their hands, stomped their feet, and looked around frequently to see if the bus had arrived.

Li Weiguo rode over and shouted, "Rain, why did it come out so early?"

"Ah Brother Wei, why are you here, what a coincidence."

Seeing that it was Li Weiguo, Yushui ran over excitedly.

"My classmate Yu Haitang and I are going to go out for a stroll." As he said that, Yushui introduced Yu Haitang to Li Weiguo. The two are classmates, and they met to go shopping today.

After listening to Yu Yu's introduction, Li Weiguo took a closer look at Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang is about the same age as Yushui, fifteen or sixteen years old, with two twisted braids and a floral padded jacket wrapped like rice dumplings. His figure is invisible, but his facial features are quite correct, but he is a little dark. .

She is about the same height as Yushui, 1.6 meters five, and has average looks. I don't know how the title of "Flower of a Rolling Mill" was mixed up in the original play.

Li Weiguo smiled and nodded to Yu Haitang, as a greeting.

Yu Haitang shyly imitated Yu Yu and called him "Brother Wei Guo".

Yushui was also quite happy to meet an acquaintance on the street, ran to him, put his arms around Li Weiguo's arm, and asked with a smile, "Brother Weiguo, hehehe, where are you going so early?"

The little girl asked, her eyes still looking at the bicycle under Li Weiguo.

When Li Weiguo saw her like this, he immediately burst into laughter. How could he not know what she wanted to do? He said, "I'm going to go to the department store and buy some New Year's goods. What do you think? Do you want to go?"

"Ah, let's go shopping in the department store, okay. I'm going, I'm going. Brother Wei Guo, please take us with you."

Yuyu nodded quickly and winked at Yu Haitang to indicate her agreement.

Yu Haitang didn't know what she wanted to do, but since she was going shopping, it didn't matter where she went, so she simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's get in the car." Li Weiguo shrugged.

"Okay. Hee hee."

Saying that, Yu Shui skillfully drilled into Li Weiguo's arms, sat directly on the crossbeam of the bicycle, and at the same time beckoned Yu Haitang to sit on the back seat.

After the two little girls sat down, Li Weiguo drove them straight to Wangfujing Department Store.

Braving the freezing cold wind all the way and shivering from the cold rain, she shrank directly into Li Weiguo's arms and hid in his arms to keep warm.

Feeling the body temperature of the little girl in his arms and the fragrance coming from his nose, Li Weiguo couldn't help but feel distracted.
Wangfujing is not far away, only about ten minutes away, and the three of them soon arrived at the No. 1 cargo building in the Imperial Capital.

The department store at the end of the year was so crowded that you could see it from a long way away. There were long queues at all nine entrances and exits of the department store. There were thousands of people queuing at the door alone, and people kept coming after them. Row.

The nine long crowds of people moved in little by little, but for a long time, few people came out of it, which shows the degree of congestion inside.

After parking the bicycle in the parking shed and locking it, Li Weiguo took the two little girls to line up. After queuing for about [-] minutes, the three of them squeezed into the business hall on the first floor from the door.
