Chapter 3 Someone is coming
The grain store is not too far from the courtyard. If you ride a bicycle, you can get there in three to five minutes.
When Chu Heng arrived at the unit, Lian An, the director of the grain store, had already arrived first.
From a distance, I saw a gray-haired old man squatting at the door of the shop and smoking a cigarette. He was wearing a gray Mao suit that had been washed and faded. His knees and elbows were patched. Who could Thinking that this is a leader who is responsible for the food and clothing issues of nearly ten thousand people?
This is also a characteristic of the times.
Because fabric was scarce, each family received very few cloth tickets, and many people could not afford a new set of clothes for several years, so there was a jingle of three years for the new, three years for the old, and three years for mending.
When relatives and friends get married, if you give them a quilt, it is considered a big gift.
Chu Heng pedaled the car and stopped next to the company director. While locking the car, he greeted: "Director, you came early enough."
"I just arrived, too. I just finished smoking.”
Director Lian stood up with a smile, flicked the ashes from his cigarette, and his old and pale face was covered with wrinkles: "But you kid, you go to work every day, why are you here so early today?"
"I got up early today."
Chu Heng habitually took out the big front door from his pocket, took one in his mouth, and handed another one over: "You can save another one."
“Good guys, they’ve all locked up the front door.” Director Lian is I am a long-time smoker, but because there are many children at home and the burden is heavy, I usually smoke eight-cent products. Seeing that it is a good cigarette like Daqianmen, I quickly reached out to take it, put it in front of my nose and smelled it hard before stuffing it into my mouth. , lit it with the butt of the cigarette in his hand, and continued to smoke.
After taking a few puffs of cigarette, the old man smacked his lips, glanced at Chu Heng who was leisurely beside him, and suddenly said: "Yesterday I went to the bureau for a meeting, and a new person was sent to our store. , I heard that he is the son of Deputy Director Luo. You must be mentally prepared."
Chu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned.
Director Lian is already fifty-nine this year and will retire next year. Now he is filling the store with someone who is the son of the bureau leader. His purpose is self-evident.
This is about picking peaches!
The reason why the original owner of Chu Heng's body came here as a registration clerk in the cadre establishment was because he came to the position that the company director was about to vacate.
It's good now. He has been working diligently in the store for more than half a year, and he is about to welcome the fruits of victory. Suddenly, someone from above comes to grab the position. Isn't this disgusting!
Chu Heng fell into silence.
He was hesitating whether he should fight for this position.
Although he has a warehouse of food close to him, whether he is a director or not, he can prosper in this era.
But what man wouldn’t like power?
Any man with some ambition will not be willing to be inferior to others, of course, except at certain times...
So after thinking about it, Chu Heng decided to fight for the first place. fight.
In fact, his identity as the director of the grain store was of great help to him.
Not only will his social status be improved, but his contacts will also be much broader. In the future, whether he wants to do business or something, he will be able to use all of these.
Who told us that this is a human society?
“His!”
Chu Heng took a long puff of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, then stuffed the remaining half of the pack of cigarettes into Director Lian’s hand, sincerely He said gratefully: "Thank you, director, I will go in first."
Even the director was not polite and stuffed it into his pocket. At the same time, he also said: "Go and ask your second uncle when you have time and let him give you some advice. Don't think he is just the deputy director of the Grain Management Institute. He has a good relationship." It’s hard!”
“Okay, I’ll treat you to a drink later.” Chu Heng nodded and walked into the room.
The business area of the grain store is not large, only more than 100 square meters in total. There is a row of huge boxes in the middle for storing various grains. There are several large oil barrels standing against the wall on the east side. One of the barrels has an old-fashioned oil extractor with a rocker inserted. If someone comes to buy oil, they must first use the oil extractor to pump the oil into a small barrel, and then Use a special bucket to load oil for people.
Chu Heng bypassed the cabinets and went straight into the back room. He went to the small kitchen to light the stove and put a pot of water on it to boil. Then he returned The office he shared with Director Lian.
After wiping the tables and chairs with a rag, he began to organize the account books and receipts to prepare for a new day's work.
After being busy for a while, Director Lian came in, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, but it was not the big front door, but the one he usually smoked. He probably had to keep the half pack of cigarettes to pretend to be others. Fork.
Chu Heng is very discerning. As soon as the old man sat down, he quickly stood up and picked up his own and the old man's enamel water cups: "Just as the water is boiling, I will pour you some water."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Director Lian stopped him cheerfully and took something out of his pocket. He took out a small paper bag for him and said with a proud smile: "We guys also enjoyed the tea that went well in the bureau yesterday."
"You are really capable, and you can still get this thing." Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, took the paper bag and opened it. Inside was a small pinch of tea leaves, also called high break.
In later generations, this thing is nothing, but in this era, it is definitely a good thing.
Chu Heng opened the lid of Director Lian's water cup, and with a flick of his wrist, most of the tea leaves in the paper bag were poured in, and the rest was thrown into his own cup.
“Hey, you prodigal!” Director Lian slapped his thigh and stared: “Old man, I finally got some tea, but you, you bastard, will be gone in just one meal!”
"I said, Director, how many meals would you like to drink with this little tea? Look, I dug it for you. I'll go to my second uncle's place to get some for you later." Chu Heng rolled his eyes, turned around and left the office, and after a while He came back with two steamy cups.
“Zi! Ha!”
Chu Heng drank the hot tea happily. He didn't know how many kinds of tea were mixed in the tea leaves. It was quite delicious.
“You wasteful thing!”
Director Lian muttered while drinking, with a distressed look on his face.
Chu Heng didn’t say anything and just drank tea and worked.
After a while, there was a knock on the office door, and a pretty woman walked in.
The woman's name is Ni Yinghong, she is a cashier in the store, and she is also a golden flower in the food system. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has an excellent figure, especially the two petals that look good for fertility. Buttocks are favored by many prospective mothers-in-law.
"Brother Chu, I'm here to collect today's money." Ni Yinghong came in and looked for Chu Heng. Her fair and delicate face shone softly in the sun, and her ear-length black short hair made her look... Very capable.
Chu Heng raised his head, glanced at her buttocks without trace, then looked at her flawless face, and suddenly felt love at first sight.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, took out the money notes he had prepared and put them on the table: "I have been waiting for you, just order them."
Ni Yinghong picked up the money I carefully counted the tickets twice, and after confirming that there were no discrepancies, I signed my name in a beautiful handwriting on the account book.
Chu Heng took the account book, glanced at the name on it, rolled his eyes, and a warm smile appeared on his handsome face with clear water chestnuts. He said without saying anything: "Xiao Ni is so beautiful, I feel ashamed. "
"It's okay." Ni Yinghong, who had been surrounded by boys since she was a child, didn't know what he was thinking, so she took the things and left without giving him a chance.
Please give me some votes, thanks.
