1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 592 Su Guilan, Director of the Luo Family Logistics Department
……

"No, when did our family buy so many pots?"

He picked one up casually, looked at it and put it down again.

Zhu Lin blinked his eyes and pursed his lips.Luo Tao understood what she meant.

He leaned close to her and asked in a low voice: "Why did the old lady buy so many iron pots?"

"Ask me, where do I know where to go? Come on, if you want to know, ask the old lady yourself."

She left the words behind and went back into the house to pack other things.

"What kind of attitude!" He muttered softly.

He followed her into the storage room.

As soon as you walk in, what a guy!The things in the room really blinded his eyes.

what's the situation!
Which shopping mall was robbed?Large and small boxes were piled up in half a room.

Laundry powder, soap, pots and pans, almost all the daily necessities needed for daily life are here.

There are also cribs and strollers, what?Isn't this the right rhythm to give birth to a third child?

I have really good intentions!But no matter how much we want, we can't violate the prohibition.

He walked in with his mouth wide open and looked around. The things in this room were arranged in a fairly orderly manner, but they looked a bit over the top.

Touching the boxes of washing powder, he asked, "How many years and months will this be used?"

Touching dozens of bags of table salt, "Is this refined iodized salt? Or low-sodium salt? Can it protect against radiation?"

……

Looking at the dazzling array of daily necessities in the storage room, every time I touch something with my hands, I keep asking questions in my heart.

Zhu Lin and Er Mei were squatting half-crouching to organize the small necessities. They didn't know when and where they got a wooden shelf, and they were loading it one by one.

Are you planning to open a consignment store?

The preparations were so meticulous.

When Zhu Lin saw Luo Tao also coming in, he held the towel on his head, stood up, and walked over with a smile.

"How about it?"

He looked left and right and shook his head, "Not very good."

"By the way, when we were in Xiangjiang, didn't you say that the old lady bought some small things?" He pointed at the so-called small things in her mouth. To be honest, pots and pans are compared with refrigerators and TVs. They are really small things.

But yes.

"This amount seems a bit big!"

A face of unrequited love.

Zhu Lin couldn't help but feel happy.

"Be content with what you're content with... haha..." He suppressed it again and said, "Be content with what you're content with. Fortunately, there are no shops that sell cars in the capital, otherwise our family would have one for everyone."

Luo Tao frowned and looked her up and down, looking gloating.

"Be serious."

These words did not scare Zhu Lin, but Ermei, who was smiling brightly at the newspaper above his head.

She immediately pursed her lips that were very open just now, turned around silently, squatted down, and continued working as if nothing had happened.

Luo Tao still needs to be dignified at home, otherwise it would be impossible to control this mansion worth billions.

"Ahem! These things, especially the edible ones, you need to deal with them quickly, otherwise they will be thrown away after the expiration date."

This edible salt also has a shelf life. Not only this edible salt, but also the liquor sold in the market also has a shelf life.

Don't ask me how I know the shelf life of liquor. If you really want to know, I can only say: I have never drunk real liquor.

Zhu Lin is now in charge of all the family affairs at home, so she naturally has to deal with these matters. Luo Tao will not move his mouth or legs at the same time.

"Isn't this a count..."

After hearing her words, Luo Tao was about to turn around and leave with small steps.

"It's all here, don't you plan to do some work before leaving?"

Luo Tao was very reluctant in his heart, but when he saw Zhu Lin's hand holding his clothes...

There is no way to escape this run.

……

"Thirty boxes of matches!"

"Forty pairs of bamboo chopsticks!"

"Bamboo brush..."

Looking at these items that could be regarded as family heirlooms, Luo Tao sighed while sorting them out, lamenting the woman's desire to shop.

I never expected that my mother Su Guilan, who has always been diligent and thrifty, would be so unambiguous when buying things.

Is this a distortion of human nature?Or is it the collapse of the market economy?

Or can you do whatever you want if you have money?

Luo Tao didn't know and couldn't explain clearly.

This may be the minefield we are going to walk on, and it is a test for us.

……

On August 8, the People's Broadcasting Station broadcast the "Preliminary Plan on Price and Wage Reform."

It was also after this that a shocking rush of buying occurred across the country.

Before this, a few cities that were just pilot projects took the lead in setting an example.

The rush to buy became more and more intense after that, until the higher-ups felt that things would go haywire if they didn't take action.

On August 8, the above-mentioned organization held a meeting and passed the decision on doing a good job in current price work and stabilizing the market.

At this time, all news channels across the country have become commentators, telling the public not to blindly follow the trend, explaining that the "price breakthrough" will not be completed immediately, but will be completed steadily over five years or more.

The panic buying trend was stopped by the strong intervention from above, which was about to take off.

For some excessive behavior, there will be heavy blows.

Hearing this news, some people were really happy and some were sad.

Ever since this news came to her mother, Su Guilan, she had been frowning all day long, secretly regretting it, and asking Zhu Lin when she saw her, "Are those things easy to deal with?"

The batch of things she bought back from the rush was sorted out yesterday, and early this morning all the things that could be used by the hotel were delivered to Xichang Building in Houhai.

As for the soaps and washing powder, they are also planned to be distributed to employees as Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. Since my mother, Su Guilan, purchased too few of these items, Xichang's logistics department has to make up the remaining 90.00% difference.

"Mom, didn't I tell you everything? Those things were sent to the Xichang Tower in Houhai, and they were all used. Don't even think about it. Salt and other ingredients that can be used in the back kitchen may be all available at noon today." It's used up."

The old lady is a cheerful person. If she does something wrong, she will fall into deep self-blame.

People of their generation have a greater sense of responsibility and cannot allow themselves to make mistakes.

Zhu Lin comforted her and took her to the storage room to take a look.

After passing through the Moon Gate, I arrived at the west wing of the east courtyard and opened the door... "Have you seen everything?"

The old lady entered the room and touched the empty shelves, a smile that had disappeared all day gradually appeared on her face.

"No, no, Lin'er, you still have the ability, much better than Tao'er."

The old lady pulled Zhu Lin, "Tell me, I follow the trend day by day, even if I don't help you, it will only hinder you.

Don't say anything. From now on, you will be in charge of everything in the house. I will take care of your children and clean the house. "

After this incident, my mother, Su Guilan, felt that she was really not suitable to continue to interfere with housework, and she was not capable of handling the current housework.

After all, the Luo family now is no different than the family of several people they once were. They were one family at the beginning, but the situation now is much more complicated.

Zhu Lin is not that pretentious person. Moreover, since she married into the Luo family, she has gradually taken charge of all the affairs of the family.

She has long been accustomed to her role as the mistress of the Luo family.

However, as a daughter-in-law, she still has to be humble in front of her mother-in-law.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can you push us back? Without you, how could we do things outside so smoothly?"

This is not a compliment, nor is it flattery.

This is a matter of fact. When she went out to act in the early years, if Su Guilan hadn't taken care of the family, she would have been worried about leaving home while working outside.

She would never forget these things.

Although the two have different opinions on life, this does not greatly affect the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the alleyway of Baihua Depeng, and even further in the Huguo Temple area, who would not say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good, and they are a good model for everyone to learn from.

No one in the alley would see them without saying "good mother-in-law" or "good wife".

Mother-in-law should be respected as a biological mother, and a daughter-in-law should be raised as a daughter.

If there were no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in an ordinary family, the happiness index would be greatly improved.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the west wing of the east courtyard, talking to each other and complimenting each other.

This kind of relationship happened before Zhu Lin married into the Luo family.

The picture is very good, but not too many. If there are too many, it will make people feel that the distance between them is being stretched.

……

The first Saturday in September 1988.

Luo Tao went to Beidaihe to attend an economic meeting. This meeting was held mainly to discuss how to solve the economic problems that have been exposed after the panic buying wave.

Everyone expressed their opinions and everyone was very active in making suggestions.

In the conference hall where such intense discussions were taking place, Luo Tao was as quiet as a river of spring water, like a piece of transparent glass. He sat at the end of the table and listened carefully with both ears raised and studied hard.

In this state, it wasn't until the leader personally named him that Luo Tao trembled and expressed his views cautiously.

In summary, let’s talk about the following four points:
[-]. Adhere to reform and opening up and stabilize the general environment.

Without this major premise and keynote, everything else is empty talk.

[-]. Improve supporting measures for economic reform.

We must understand that economic reform is also a major issue that affects the whole body. We cannot take it for granted and fight alone. We must improve supporting measures in the future.

[-]. We must improve the market supply and demand industry chain.

From 1978 to 1988, although my country's national economy achieved sustained and rapid growth, the problem of unbalanced industrial structure in our country was relatively prominent. The internal technological structure of the national economy was still very backward, and the commodity supply capacity of the whole society was limited.

Before social productivity is relatively low and the seller pattern has not fundamentally changed, trying to create a market pricing mechanism by "breaking through" will be difficult to succeed.

Fourth, strengthen local theory, wait for favorable opportunities, and break the situation again.

Before 1988, prices had already risen significantly. This situation had given people high inflation expectations.

In the following months, panic buying occurred in many cities, and there was widespread panic among the public about rising prices.

The liberalization of commodity prices in August, against the background of relatively insufficient supply of commodities, has largely driven up commodity prices and intensified inflationary pressure.

Coupled with the lack of domestic theoretical research and cognitive deviations, imported products are chosen to lead this economic reform...

Luo Tao personally believes that the next step is to deal with these issues.

Such a speech makes people feel somewhat uncomfortable, but no one can object to these four points. After all, a few months ago, Luo Tao did not advocate cutting the knot with a quick knife, and he did not agree with Friedman’s method. Come.

There is no doubt that Friedman is a great expert on economics. However, his expert is a Western expert, not ours.

We can only learn from his theory and cannot copy it.

Since the person presiding over this meeting was..., he was always a real expert in economics, so Luo Tao poured out everything he knew about inflation.

I hope I can give them a little help, and besides, I can be considered right for my current identity.

After Luo Tao finished his speech, everyone discussed it, and after a while, they finally decided that his speech was valuable.

This economic meeting was held in Beidaihe for three full days. During the meeting, Luo Tao naturally wanted to work for public benefit and managed to sneak in.

No matter what, you have to enjoy it, it's a treatment that money can't buy.

This is not only physical, but also psychological.

If you tell me, it will save your face.

Ordinary people may not have any feelings about economic meetings, but when it comes to taking a vacation in Beidaihe, they want to let their daughters pay for it.

This is the unique charm of Beidaihe.

As soon as the meeting was over, it was naturally impossible for Luo Tao to stay here shamelessly.

You are not your own person, you have to have the consciousness of your own person, and don’t have to be reminded by others about everything. This is not good. In your 30s, you are already past the age of being a fool.

The red car drove, playing victory songs all the way back to Beijing triumphantly.

As soon as I got home, needless to say, I was pestered by my mother, Su Guilan, asking questions here and there non-stop.

"So, my son can be considered a big shot now?" He was lying on the bed, looking at the dark beams, and mumbling to his wife Luo Shaoyi.

"Hey! Look at what you said, your son? What's wrong? He is no longer my son." He also made his wife jealous at this word.

"I gave birth to Tao'er, so of course I'll kiss you, and you'll be in the back." Su Guilan said goodbye to him, and then she let out a laugh for some reason, and turned sideways, facing her old man.

"Stop interrupting, do you think our Tao'er is considered a big shot now? Is he as big as that guy Su Ping?"

This question stumped Luo Shaoyi, who didn't pay much attention to it. The expression on his face turned bitter, "It's really hard to say this."

"Why is it hard to say? If it's big, it's big. If it's small, it's small. There's nothing hard to say."

Luo Tao had participated in many high-level meetings before, but none of them had as big an impact as this meeting on the two elders.

In their subconscious mind, being able to go to Beidaihe for a meeting is more important than attending the annual Two Sessions.

"Ahem, I told you this, but you don't understand."

"Who are you looking down on? If you don't understand, you won't understand more clearly."

The old couple stayed up most of the night and bickered.
