Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 298 Wang Shengli

Seeing this, Wang Shengli also reacted, knowing that he was disturbing the cleanliness of others, and quickly apologized to everyone.

The people reading in the bookstore saw that Li Ping'an and Li Pingan realized their mistake, and after apologizing, they stopped pursuing it and re-read the book in their hands.

Just when the two wanted to go out and find a place to sit down and chat, Ding Qiunan put down the book in his hand and walked over, looking at Li Pingan curiously, wanting to know what was going on.

When Li Pingan saw Ding Qiunan, he slapped his forehead, and then remembered that he came with his wife. He was so happy to see his old classmate, that he forgot about his wife.

However, it was inconvenient to chat in the bookstore. After the three of them went out, Li Pingan quickly took a step forward with a smile, grabbed Ding Qiunan and introduced Wang Shengli: "Shengli, I am so happy to see you, I forgot about my wife." Now, let me introduce you, this is my daughter-in-law, Ding Qiunan, who works in the infirmary of the Red Star Rolling Mill."

After listening to Li Pingan's introduction, Wang Shengli immediately winked at Li Pingan and teased: "Ping An, you are fine, you married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and you were taciturn in class back then. I thought you were doomed in this life. You are a bachelor, it seems that I have really underestimated you."

"Go away, you boy, don't tease me in front of my wife. Believe it or not, when you wait for me to see your wife, I will reveal all the things you did back then." After listening to Wang Shengli's ridicule, Li Pingan smiled Speak back.

Li Ping'an's words frightened Wang Shengli all of a sudden. Boys in junior high school are immature and have basically done a lot of shit. Li Pingan hurriedly begged for mercy.

Ding Qiunan looked at the strangeness between the two with great interest, and didn't bother him.

After chatting with Wang Shengli for a while, Li Pingan said to Ding Qiunan again: "Qiu Nan, this is my old classmate, Wang Shengli. When we were in junior high school, we had a good relationship, and we joined the army after graduation. "

After Ding Qiunan and Wang Shengli came to introduce each other, Ding Qiunan knew that the two old friends must have a lot to say when they reunited after a long absence, so he didn't bother here. After chatting briefly with them for a while, he said to them With a cry, he returned to the bookstore, leaving space for the two of them to catch up on the old days.

Seeing Ding Qiunan walk into the bookstore, Wang Shengli bumped Li Ping'an with his shoulder with an exaggerated expression, and said with a smile: "You are fine, it's good to marry this wife, she is smart and sensible, and she is beautiful. It is really a flower to marry you." Flowers stuck in cow dung"

"You kid has eyes but no pearls. This is obviously a talented woman. What kind of eyes do you have? Go to the hospital to see the ophthalmology department when you have time." Li Pingan replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's stop standing in front of other people's bookstores, find a place to sit down and chat, haven't seen each other for so many years, can't old classmates get to know the latest situation?"

It’s not easy to meet an old friend. Normally, I would find a restaurant to have a drink, but because Ding Qiunan is still in the bookstore, the two of them can’t leave here casually. It just so happens that there is a shop selling beer on tap nearby, and the two simply discussed it. All at once, one went to buy beer, the other went to buy some snacks around, and gathered at the door of the bookstore after shopping.

Wang Shengli rushed to buy some appetizers, while Li Pingan had no choice but to line up obediently at the door of the bulk beer store.

As far as beer is concerned, it just became popular among the people last year. Although the beer industry has been in China for many years, the first brewery in Forty-Nine City was established in 1915, but it has not become popular in China. Without him, the main reason is that the people in the country are too poor, and there are only a handful of people who can afford this foreign stuff.

That is, at the beginning of the 60s, beer was sold in various supply and marketing stores on the market, but it was a rare thing, and not many were willing to buy it. Since last year, the beer manufacturing process has made breakthroughs, and the cost has been reduced on a large scale. Large-scale bulk beer resale stores appeared, and beer entered the field of vision of thousands of households.

Loose beer in summer is chilled in a large tin bucket. Although the price is not cheap, it is not expensive. You can buy a liter for [-] cents. In summer, you can drink a bottle of cold beer. That feeling is not enough Human nature is also, therefore, there is a long line of people holding thermos bottles, buckets, and washbasins in front of this store that sells draft beer.

Seeing the long queue, Li Pingan was in a difficult situation for a while. How long will there be so many people queuing up?

After thinking for a while, Li Pingan came out from the back, first bought some water containers in a nearby store, then went straight to the front, observed the people in line, and found his target, which was a hand A middle-aged man with a thermos bottle, patched clothes, and glasses.

Li Pingan took a step forward, came in front of his target, and said in a low voice: "Hello, comrade, can I buy your position with money?"

The middle-aged man who was queuing up was obviously stunned when he heard Li Pingan's words. After he realized it, he looked Li Pingan up and down, turned his head expressionlessly, and neither agreed nor disagreed.

Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, Li Pingan had a clue in his mind, and quickly offered a price: "Comrade, what happened, I met an old classmate in the market by chance, and I wanted to have a drink together, but he was in the market. I have to leave Forty-Nine City after shopping. The situation is special, so I made this decision. Comrade, I am willing to pay fifty cents to buy your place, please help me."

Now Li Pingan is really not short of money. The money I picked up at the Lou’s house last time is still in the warehouse, and I didn’t spend a dime. To put it bluntly, it’s even fifty cents lying on the ground now. Li Pingan didn't even bother to pick up money, so Li Pingan was very willing to spend some money to save himself the trouble of queuing.

Sure enough, when the middle-aged man heard Li Pingan's bid, there was a smile on his expressionless face just now. After all, it was only one yuan, and he could get it just for one position. I am ashamed to ask the price directly, but I just want Li Pingan to ask for the price.

So, the middle-aged man turned his head and said hypocritically: "Ah, so that's the case, that's okay, for the sake of your old classmates finally meeting each other, I will give you my position, but for the money Forget it, I didn't give up my position just for the fifty cents."

Hearing that the middle-aged man said that he didn't want money, Li Pingan just pretended not to hear it, and quickly took out fifty cents from his trouser pocket, ignoring the middle-aged man's refusal, and forcibly stuffed it into the middle-aged man's pocket.

The Chinese people pay attention to this.

The middle-aged man who got the money couldn't hide the smile on his face, and hypocritically said a few polite words to Li Pingan, and after explaining that he really didn't give up his position for the money, he left the team satisfied. Finally, the long line was formed again.

The people who were queuing before and after saw that Li Pingan really handed out [-] cents to the middle-aged man, and everyone's jealous eyes turned red. If it weren't for their ugly faces, this group of people really wanted to open their mouths and shout at Li Pingan. "Look for me, I'll give you the seat for a dime"

After drinking two liters of cold beer smoothly, Li Pingan went back outside the bookstore, quietly waiting for Wang Shengli to come back.

After a while, Wang Shengli ran over from behind, sweating profusely, carrying two lunch boxes.

"Where did you go to buy some food, boy, why did you come back sweating profusely?" Li Pingan said with a smile.

Wang Shengli carried the lunch box in one hand, and wiped the sweat off his face with the other hand: "I ran to a small tavern outside the market to get two cold dishes. I am exhausted from running all the way here."

"Hey, Comrade Wang Shengli has really spent money this time, come here, drink some loose beer to cool off the heat." Li Pingan put down the container, poured out a glass of cold beer and handed it over.

Wang Shengli was not too polite, took the beer and poured it all into his stomach, shouted, and said with a smile: "What is this, when I retired this month, I received a lot of retirement fees. It’s a lot of money, just two dishes are not worth the money.”

Hearing Wang Shengli said that he had already retired from the army, Li Pingan was a little surprised. Now is not the time to retire from the army. It is obviously abnormal for him to be retired from the army. Ask Wang Shengli why he retired from the army.

After Li Pingan learned about the experience of his old classmate, he just felt that this guy was a fool. If he had to say that his old classmate was definitely a strange person, he was pulled to the border and fought hard with the white elephant in the second year of enlisting in the army. He fought hard, and was promoted on the battlefield. Later, in the name of the engineering department, he participated in two neighboring countries' wars against Eagle Sauce. He was injured several times and made a lot of contributions.

In the 60s, there were a total of four foreign wars, and this kid participated in three times, a proper template for the protagonist!
This kid has already joined the company, and the superior leaders of the army are already preparing to let him go to the military academy for further study. Who knew that at this juncture, this kid foolishly chose to transfer to a local job.

Li Pingan looked at Wang Shengli speechlessly, and said bitterly, "Is your head blown up by a shell? The army leader has already sent you to the military academy for advanced studies. You don't know what this means? Transfer from the military academy?" Come back, you kid is definitely going to be promoted, why are you retiring from the army at this time?"

Regarding Li Ping'an's words, Wang Shengli just smiled helplessly and didn't say anything. He just opened his pants, revealing a shocking scar on his calf, and said with a wry smile, "You think I want to retire. This wound is a penetrating wound. I was beaten when I was in Laos. From this year on, my calf is no longer able to do strenuous exercise. After training for a long time, it hurts. I am no longer fit to stay here any longer.”

Seeing the shocking scar, Li Pingan didn't know how to speak for a while, fell silent, patted Wang Shengli on the shoulder, raised his rice bowl full of wine, and touched Wang Shengli, both of them drank in one gulp.

The two drank silently for a while, and finally Li Pingan spoke first: "Where did you change jobs and settle?"

"The DC District Bureau of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is working as a small section leader in the criminal investigation, and is still studying"

"That's not bad, at least it's a section chief. Although the treatment at the Public Security Bureau is not as good as that at the factory security department, it's better than ordinary workers."

After the veterans come back these days, the state will assign jobs, usually to the public security and law enforcement units and the factory security office.

The factory security office is the first choice for veterans with connections at home, but anyone with connections will be transferred to the factory by acquaintances. Basically, no one is willing to go to units such as public security, inspection and law, and it all depends on organization and distribution.

The main reason is the issue of wages and benefits. This year is different from later generations. These are all state units, and there is no distinction between high and low levels. However, in terms of wages and benefits, the factory is much better than the other three units. In addition to the basic salary, the employees in the factory also have worker benefits prepared by the factory for employees, but the other three units have no benefits, basically only one salary, and the factory security department can be promoted more easily if they have connections.

It's like the section chief of the security department of a rolling mill works as a deputy director on the street, and the security chief's rank is not low. In case of an emergency, the police stations on several streets around the rolling mill must obey the security guards. Command of the Commissioner.

Not to mention the two systems of the prosecution and the law, they are completely transparent, worse than the police, and no one wants to go there.

The two sat on the steps, recalling the past while talking about the future, chatting happily until Ding Qiunan came out of the bookstore, the two quickly cleaned up the things they bought, patted their buttocks and stood up from the steps.

"Comrade Shengli, come with us to our house. Our house has a lot of air-dried meat from the grassland. You and Ping An haven't seen each other for so long. Let's have a good chat together at night." Ding Qiunan held two books , Invited Wang Shengli to eat at home together.

After listening to Ding Qiunan's words, Li Pingan secretly gave Ding Qiunan a thumbs up. This girl is absolutely capable outside, and she will not lose face to her old men.

Wang Shengli looked at Li Ping'an, then at Ding Qiunan, and said with a smile: "Okay, I happen to be alone now, since my younger siblings have said so, I will go to your house to identify the family at night, but now I have to first Go home, just told me the address of your home safely, I can go there by myself at night."

"Hey, hey, don't take advantage of your kid, this is your sister-in-law, don't bark," Li Pingan scolded with a smile.

Ding Qiunan rolled his eyes and pushed Li Pingan, then smiled and said to Wang Shengli: "Well, since brother Shengli knows the address of our home, you can come here by yourself at night, and stew the meat when sister-in-law returns. Our staple food in the evening is beef”
