The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 40, Buddies

Jiaodaokou Street has 7 neighborhood committees under its jurisdiction, including Jiaodong, Daxing, Fuxue, Ju'er, Nanluoguxiang, Gulouyuan, and Fuxiang, with more than 2 residents in the jurisdiction.

In this era, there are so many things that the street office manages, ranging from the implementation of national policies to the small things like weddings and funerals, house allocation, and jobs, all of which are basically related to the street office.

Soon, Li Weiguo went to the sub-district office in Yu'er Hutong, Fuxiang Community.

Put the car in the parking shed at the entrance, go to the gate guard, and pass a cigarette to the gate guard inside: "Master, I am from the security department of the Red Star Rolling Mill. There is a document for handling illegal employees in the factory that needs to be sent to the street office. Who should I go to?"

The doorman took the cigarette and pointed out: "You can go directly to Section Chief Wang of the Social Affairs Management Section, it's on the first floor."

Thank you, the guard, and go straight in.

He has been to the sub-district office once, and he is familiar with it even when assigning work.

Go into the office lobby and turn right.

As soon as he turned the corner, he bumped into someone head-on.

"Ouch."

The person came with a pile of documents. The collision was all right, but all the documents fell to the ground.

Seeing that something was knocked off, Li Weiguo quickly leaned over to help: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention to you, forgive me."

After gathering all the documents, he handed them to the person who came. After a closer look, he didn't expect that he was still an acquaintance in his memory.

Li Weiguo said in surprise: "It's you, kid, why are you here?"

Zhao Guobing looked up and saw that it was Li Weiguo, and kindly gave him a punch in the chest: "Hey, it's a kid. I graduated from high school, and I'm assigned here. Your kid went to join the army after graduating from junior high school. Is this a return from demobilization? Good guy, Is the food in the army so good, eat such a big one. Which unit are you in now?"

As he spoke, he looked Li Weiguo up and down a few times. He was tall and burly, wearing a police uniform with a gun on his waist, obviously at the cadre level.

Li Weiguo touched his chest and said with a smile: "Haha. Yes, I changed my job last month and am in the security department of the Red Star Rolling Mill."

Zhao Guobing glanced at Li Weiguo's waist, and said with a smile, "Okay, I've become a cadre here, why did I come here?"

"What kind of cadre is not a cadre? Today I came to deliver documents. An employee in the factory was processed. These are his processing documents and returned personnel files. Who should they give them to?"

"Just give it to me and I'll handle it for you." Zhao Guobing glanced at the document and stretched out his hand.

Li Weiguo nodded, and handed the document directly to him.

Zhao Guobing took the document, turned around and entered an office, and came out after a while.

When he came out, he hugged Li Weiguo's shoulders: "You kid didn't know to meet with us when you came back, and you blinded our friendship."

The 1.7-meter tall Li Weiguo is just hugging the 1.8-meter-three Li Weiguo, and the picture is somewhat funny.

"No way, didn't I just arrange work when I got back? By the way, where is Zhou Canfen?"

"Zhou Can, that kid is so chic. Last week, I went to Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Co., Ltd. to work as a salesperson, and I've been working all day long. Unlike me, working as a clerk in the street office is a lot of work."

"Screw you. I worked as a clerk right after graduation, and the lowest level is 24-level cadre. Why are you dissatisfied?" Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey. Just say that. By the way, you are back, do we have to get together?" Zhao Guobing suggested with a smile.

The best friends from elementary school to junior high school haven't seen each other for three years, it's time to get together.

After all, if he has accepted everything from his original body, then his interpersonal relationship must also be accepted, otherwise how can he integrate into this era.

Li Weiguo nodded and said: "Okay, after get off work in the afternoon, you can go directly to my house, the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane. When I go back later, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative and call Zhou Can. I will treat you to delicious food today."

"Okay, that's it."

Coming out of the street office, Li Weiguo rode directly to the Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Along the way, memories of the two best friends slowly emerged in my mind.

Originally, Li Weiguo, Zhao Guobing, and Zhou Can went to school together when they were young. They were in the same class from elementary school to junior high school.

After graduating from junior high school, they continued to go to high school, but Li Weiguo's grades were not good, so he chose to join the army.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were assigned after graduation, and the three met again.

After riding for four or five minutes, Li Weiguo arrived at Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Parked the car at the door, walked in, glanced around the hall, and saw a familiar figure at the sales counter on the left.

Zhou Can, the fat man, was tinkering with iron scales, weighing candy for others.

Li Weiguo walked over slowly and stood aside.

When Zhou Can weighed and wrapped the candies, Li Weiguo yelled at the fat man, "Hey, that fat man, weigh me five catties of red apricot jelly candies and five boxes of golden chicken biscuits."

The fat salesperson at the counter became furious when he heard this.

"Who? Who are you calling fat? Five catties of fudge and five boxes of biscuits. Why don't you go to heaven?"

But when he looked up, it was actually Li Weiguo.

"Oh"

The fat man Zhou Can screamed strangely and cursed with a smile: "I'll go. I said some turtle kid was teasing me, but it turned out to be you."

Li Weiguo laughed: "Hahaha, I heard Zhao Guobing said that you were assigned here. Come and see you."

"Hehe. It's okay. It's been a week since we were separated. When did you come back? Which unit do you work in and are you wearing such a sexy bag?" Fatty Zhou Can looked up and down at Li Weiguo with a smile.

"The security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant. What is a show bag? We call it heroic." Li Weiguo said and put on a muscular pose.

Li Weiguo's height of 1.8 meters three, coupled with the muscles grown after nutritional supplementation, looks very strong. If he hadn't grown up with him since he was a child, Zhou Can would hardly dare to recognize him.

Zhou Can walked out from the counter and circled around Li Weiguo twice: "Damn it, is the food in this... team so good? How could it make you so big?"

As soon as the two chatted, they chatted endlessly, and the customer who bought the candy next to him was not happy: "Hey, I said, comrade salesman, I have weighed and wrapped the candy, can you pay me first, you two wait Can we talk again later?"

Zhou Can was a little annoyed when he was suddenly interrupted. With his brother nearby, he felt a little embarrassed.

Immediately, his eyes widened and his face was stern: "Ask your grandma to remind you, don't you see that this place is busy? Get out of here, I won't sell your goods today!"

Well, that is, the current salesperson dares to be so arrogant.

If you want to put it aside for future generations, you will have to be complained [-] times, and the leader will have to spray you to doubt your life.

"What's your attitude?"

The guest was also very angry, but there was nothing he could do to him, so he could only point angrily at Zhou Can.

"Eh, not at all."

Seeing this, Li Weiguo quickly stopped him, and glared at Zhou Can: "Okay, it's important to get down to business, hurry up and pay the bill first, and then help me get something after I'm done."

Zhou Can glanced at the guest contemptuously, and said disdainfully, "If my brother wasn't here today, you wouldn't be able to buy a single chicken feather from you."

The customers also knew how powerful the salesmen were, and they did not dare to pick up on him. If they really tried to contradict him, they would be in big trouble if they were resented by the salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Can quickly billed him: "One catty of candy, two yuan seven, and one catty of sugar tickets."

The guest quickly put the prepared money notes on the counter, picked up the candy and notes and left in a hurry.

After dismissing those who were in the way, Zhou Can pulled Li Weiguo and asked: "What do you want to buy, I'll get it for you right now, as long as there is something in it, I can get it for you."

"No, that's it." As he said that, Li Weiguo took out a pile of tickets from his pocket.

They were all in-demand goods such as cigarettes, wine, sugar, milk powder, biscuits, canned fruits, canned meat, peanuts, melon seeds, etc. He stuffed them all into Zhou Can's hands: "Help me calculate how much they cost."

"I'm going. Did you rob the landlord? How did you get so many good things?"

Such old tickets really made Zhou Can look sideways. It seems that the old brother is doing well. It is difficult for ordinary people to come up with so many tickets.

Going back to the counter, I took the abacus and calculated it, and quoted the price: "If you buy all of them, it will be 73 yuan and eighty-two cents."

"Okay, I bought them all."

Li Weiguohao took out a wad of cash, counted out the corresponding amount, and slapped it directly on the counter, looking calm and calm.

This is only part of the bills in Li Weiguo's hands. Lao Fu and Hamster keep collecting them from him every week, so he basically doesn't lack these things.

"Come on, you are really a rich man." Zhou Can shrugged and turned to help him get the goods.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Can came out with a bunch of things, packed them in four or five net bags, and placed them in front of Li Weiguo, causing other employees in the supply and marketing cooperative to look at him.

That is to say, when meeting Zhou Can, if other people come and buy so many things, they may not be able to buy all of them.

"Thank you, Fatty is right. I have an appointment with Zhao Guobing. After get off work, I will come to my house for dinner. Let's get together. You will come over after get off work later. It's in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang."

"Okay, be there on time."

After explaining to Zhou Can, Li Weiguo hung four or five net bags on the handlebars and waved away.

Before he had walked a few steps, Zhou Can shouted from behind: "Hey, Wei Guo. There is still a pack of candies that I haven't taken."

It turned out that Li Weiguo left a bag of candies on the counter while the fat man was not paying attention.

"You keep it for yourself."
