The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 174, the test of the father-in-law
noon.

Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Taking advantage of the lack of people at noon, Zhou Can, the fat man, was lying on the counter, propping his head with one hand, half-closed his eyes, and took a nap there.

"Fatty, fatty! Wake up!"

This boy Zhou Can was sleeping in a daze, when he was shaken awake suddenly: "Who is it?"

"It's me." It was Zhao Guobing who came.

"Yawn~ It's you, the national soldier. You don't work on the street during working hours, so why did you come here?" Zhou Can rubbed his face and tried to cheer himself up.

"Hey, I have something to ask you, come out with me quickly." After that, Zhao Guobing didn't care whether Zhou Can was asleep or not, and dragged him outside.

"Hey. Slow down."

The two walked to a secluded place outside the supply and marketing cooperative and stopped. Zhou Can asked suspiciously: "I said, Guobing, what's the matter, you dragged me out specially, I was dreaming of a beautiful girl , just about to make some substantial progress, I woke you up."

Zhao Guobing gave him a blank look: "Come on, you're still a girl, you can only think about it in your dreams."

Without talking to him, Zhao Guobing asked instead: "By the way, I have something to ask you, Fatty, is there any way you can get supplies like pork and eggs?"

"Pork, eggs? How much do you want?" Zhou Can asked suspiciously.

"Pork should weigh twenty catties, and eggs should weigh ten catties," Zhao Guobing said.

"I'll go, no, why do you want so many things?"

Zhou Can was shocked and said that there are so many things, and it is not easy for the director of the supply and marketing cooperative to get so many supplies at once.

Zhao Guobing smiled and explained: "Yuan Manxia and I are going to get married in a few days. Isn't there some food for the banquet? I'll ask you."

"Sure, you boy, it's settled so soon." Zhou Can laughed.

Zhao Guobing smiled and said: "Hey, it's not too soon. We've been talking for almost a year, and now it's settled. I plan to set up a few tables in a few days. It will be lively. You and Wei Guo will have to help me by then."

Zhou Can nodded and said: "It's okay to help, but the amount of meat and eggs you want is a bit scary. Now the market has stopped supplying eggs to ordinary people, and there are not many in the supply and marketing cooperatives. They are all reserved for the "special needs people" , the director won't let us touch it, and it's not easy to use tickets.

As for the pork, I will give up my old face to help you ask for two catties.Twenty catties, our director is determined to turn his face. You know the current market situation. It is no different from last year. Many things are in short supply, and there is no sale in the pigeon market. All the supply pressure lies in our supply and marketing cooperative. "

"Then what should I do? There are quite a lot of people at Manxia's natal family. If the hospitality is not good, they will definitely look down on them in the future." Zhao Guobing scratched his head and lost his mind for a while.

His object, Yuan Manxia, ​​and Dad Zhao belong to the same unit, they are both food workers, and their family conditions are good. Many of them are cadres in various high-quality units. Considering that there are many relatives and friends on both sides, the two finally decided to set up six tables. feast.

Seeing that they are going to get married, but they can't find anything for the wedding banquet. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to wait until there is no food on the table?

"Guo Bing, isn't Uncle Zhao the deputy director of the Grain Institute? With his ability, although there are many of these things, Uncle Zhao can't be troubled, right?" Zhou Can asked suspiciously.

It's okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, Zhao Guobing can't help but frown.

"Hey, don't mention it, the matter of food supply is even more troublesome. Now that there is such a shortage of food in the market, my dad doesn't dare to open his mouth to owe favors to others, for fear that others will ask him for food.

In addition, this time, my father-in-law specially ordered me to handle it by myself, which is a test for me. "

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Zhou Can didn't recruit anymore, and he had to accept the old man's test if he didn't accept it.

Although green vegetables and radishes are also vegetables, but since the old man has spoken, of course the wedding banquet should be held as richly as possible, so that he can show his ability and not be looked down upon by the old man in the future.

In this season, delicacies from mountains and seas are no longer expected, so Zhao Guobing wondered if he could get some pork and eggs, at least every table could have some meat.

Just when the two were scratching their heads and scratching their heads, Zhou Can suddenly thought of something.

"Hey, we didn't recruit, Weiguo might have one, this kid has a special connection, he can often get good food, why don't we ask him how about it?"

"Yes!"

After being reminded by Zhou Can, Zhao Guobing's eyes lit up immediately. Others don't know Li Weiguo's living standard, so they don't know?It is not an exaggeration to say that the landlord is rich, and there may be a way to find Li Weiguo.

Do as soon as you think of it, Zhao Guobing waved his hand and called Zhou Can to go: "Let's go, fat man, come with me, let's go to Weiguo."

"No. I'm still at work."

"You put a hammer on, and you're just stealing chickens to hide from your laziness. Hurry up and ask for leave. If you delay the business, I will rely on you."

"Oh. I'm really afraid of you."

Rolling Mill Security Section.

A worker in blue overalls walked into the office building of the security department and looked around, as if he was looking for someone, but he didn't know where to go.

While he was looking around, Shao Gang from the duty room came out, glanced at him, and asked loudly, "Hey, what are you doing?"

The worker seemed to be in his twenties, and he was a little cautious when he first came to the security department. When he saw the security guard questioning him, he quickly said, "Hello, comrade. I'm looking for someone. How can I get to Deputy Section Chief Li's office?"

Looking for your own section chief?

Shao Gang looked at him curiously. He didn't know the relationship between him and his leader, but he didn't ask too much. He pointed to the upstairs and said, "Deputy Li's office is on the second floor. Come with me." , Shao Gang led the way ahead and led him up.

After going up to the second floor, Shao Gang came to the office door and knocked on the door in a familiar manner.

"dong dong dong"

"Come in." Li Weiguo said in the room.

"Section Chief, here is a worker looking for you." Shao Gang opened the door and did not go in. Instead, he motioned to the person behind him to let him go in by himself, then turned and left after seeing off the person.

"Looking for me?" Li Weiguo looked up and found that the person who came was not familiar, as if he had never seen him before, so he asked, "Who are you?"

"Hi Section Chief Li, I'm Hong Feng from the second workshop, and my father is Hong An, who renovated your house before." Hong Feng smiled cautiously and explained.

When Li Weiguo heard the words, he suddenly realized that when Hong An helped him decorate the house, he said before that he had a son who worked as a fitter in the second workshop, but he had almost forgotten about it since he hadn't seen each other for so long. He didn't expect his son to come to the door today Come, think there is something.

Li Weiguo's eyes flashed, and he greeted with a smile: "Oh Hong Feng, hello, come in and sit down."

Hong Feng smiled politely, then walked in, and sat on the opposite chair cautiously.

"Is there something you want from me?" Li Weiguo asked directly.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, it's like this. My dad wants to invite you to have dinner at home. Is it convenient for you?" After Hong Feng finished speaking, he looked at Li Weiguo nervously, for fear of being rejected.

Have a meal?

This is not a year or a festival, and I come here to invite you to dinner. I guess I want to ask him for help with something, and use the excuse of having a meal at home to talk about things.

In the past, Hong An worked hard to help decorate the house. Later, he introduced Tong Dahai to him, and he got a lot of antique furniture. Since he asked for it, he should go there , As for whether I can help, I will say another word.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo didn't refuse, and nodded in response: "Okay, when?"

Seeing Li Weiguo's answer, Hong Feng was overjoyed immediately, and quickly said, "It's just seven o'clock tonight, is it convenient for you?"

"Okay, then at seven o'clock in the evening, I will go directly to your house then."
