Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 119 Evening School Exam
Quancheng City, Daqing Button Factory.

It turned out that there were many intact buttons in the garbage dump, and Zheng Meiyun and Rong Xinyi picked up dozens of them in a short while.

The middle-aged guard came back after about 10 minutes.

Zhao Wenmu got a little impatient for waiting. He noticed that the business of the button factory seemed to be doing well. Since they got off the car, two small trucks have driven into the factory area.

"Chief Ma agrees to see you!"

He seemed a little unhappy, probably because he was reprimanded by the so-called Chief Ma.But anyway, the end result is good.

"Brother, who is Chief Ma?"

Zhao Wenmu quietly handed the folded sheet of unity to the middle-aged guard.

"It's the one in charge of sales, just a deputy section chief!"

The guard quickly put away the money, his tone was full of disdain, as if he was dissatisfied with Chief Ma.

Zhao Wenmu said in his heart that today's cooperation may be a bit precarious.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Chief Ma's office, he didn't stand up to greet him.

Just sitting comfortably on the chair, holding a cup of tea, sipping lightly.

Zhao Wenmu moved away the chair loudly, motioning for Zhao Jing to sit down first.

After Zhao Wenmu took his seat, he motioned for Zheng Meiyun to sit down.

There were only three chairs in the room, so Zheng Guangming and Rong Xinyi had to stand.

There are five people on their side, and two of them are standing behind. Compared with the one person opposite, they seem to be more dominant.

But everyone understands that this is the so-called Section Chief Ma trying to show them off!
"Chief Ma, we want to order a batch of buttons. I wonder if your factory is willing to accept the order?"

Zhao Wenmu didn't intend to make false claims with the other party either.

If you succeed, you can't get out.

It was not a big business.

It's just that it involves a general in his future, so he's so concerned, okay?

"Oh, what's the name of the little brother?"

"What kind of buttons do you want to order, and how much do you want?"

When it came to business, Chief Ma's eyes flashed with shrewdness, but more with disdain.

A group of countrymen dared to come to their large state-owned factory to place an order.

He let this group of people in just because he was curious about who was so ignorant and fearless.

"Meiyun, please tell me, just dictate the size and color."

Zhao Wenmu sat on the chair, all he could see was his daughter who was gnawing her fingers.

Don't even look at the person on the other side.

Not to mention his own name.

Zheng Meiyun was a little excited, she was about to reach out for the design draft out of habit, and then she reacted.

"Hello, Chief Ma! My name is Zheng Meiyun, and we want to order a batch of plastic materials and radii."

Zheng Meiyun described the size and corresponding color of each model.

"The small size and the large size need 2 pieces each, and the medium size needs 5 pieces."

A total of 18 models, or 54 buttons.

According to the calculation of 6 cents per coin, it is almost 3 yuan.

It's not a small order.

This is also the result of their careful discussions.

With this order quantity, it is said that the button factory will accept the order.

At the same time, this order volume will not be too difficult to digest depending on wholesale and retail.

"Little girl, do you know the concept of 54 coins?"

"Don't you even look at how many catties and taels you have, and open your mouth and shut your mouth to hundreds of thousands!"

Chief Ma was a little angry, no, very angry!
These peasants don't understand anything at all!The button they want is much more complicated to produce than ordinary buttons, and the cost will be increased by at least 8 to [-]%. The ex-factory price of each button is estimated to be [-] cents.

8 cents!

That's almost 4 yuan!

A group of bumpkins dared to talk to him about a business of 4 yuan without changing their expressions.

He was outraged.

He felt humiliated, and his rank was despised by ants.

So he looked hysterical.

Zhao Wenmu got up.

Zhao Jing picked up her little girl and got up.

Zheng Meiyun froze for a moment, grabbed the cloth bag in her hand, which contained the materials she had stayed up all night to sort out, and stood up.

The moment he was about to walk out of the office, Zhao Wenmu grabbed Rong Xinyi and patted the horse brand bag she was carrying.

"Director Ma, this Hermes bag costs 4400 yuan, Hong Kong dollars."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

"Fake! Fake! Do you know what a Hong Kong dollar is!"

There were several impotent barks from the office behind him.

Zheng Meiyun walked behind with her head down.

Zhao Wenmu touched her head.

"It doesn't matter, there is always a way!"

In order not to let this episode affect everyone's emotions, Zhao Wenmu once again swept through the ticket dealers in Quancheng City, and finally exchanged it to 850 US dollars.

Several beauties started shopping frantically at the Friendship Mall.

Sure enough, shopping can make people happy.

Even Zheng Meiyun quickly immersed herself in the fun of shopping.

Taking advantage of the sufficient manpower this time, Zhao Wenmu finally bought a 14-inch Panda TV.

After all, it was early 1981, and 14-inch TVs were fine.

The nightlife is too monotonous now, so it's better to buy a TV and listen to the sound.

As for Durex, it is naturally indispensable.

With a glance of his eyes, Zhao Jing understood his thoughts, and immediately dragged Rong Xinyi and Zheng Meiyun to another place.

This stuff comes from the bloody capitalism, and it can't be allowed to poison other people.

As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell.

A large group of people came empty-handed and returned with a full load, which can be regarded as a full harvest.

"Meiyun, don't be discouraged, I will find a way to find another factory, or wait for the policy to relax a bit, and just build a factory myself!"

Back in Pingyang County, the little girl seemed to recall the sad events of today.

It is the first time to start a business, and it is really unwilling to die like this.

Zhao Wenmu saw that she was not in a high mood, and spoke to comfort her.

"Well, third brother, I will not give up! I will continue to improve the design draft!"

Having received Zhao Wenmu's promise, Zheng Meiyun was immediately full of energy.

For some reason, she always had a special trust in Zhao Wenmu.

Maybe it's because the other party helped their brothers and sisters when they were in the most difficult time.

This matter was temporarily shelved.

However, Zhao Wenmu still asked Li Guofu to help him pay attention to the button factories in other counties and cities.

After all, there are button factories in several surrounding counties and cities, and Daqing factory is not the only one.

After all, Li Guofu belongs to the state-owned hotel system, and his interpersonal relationship is quite extensive.

Zhao Wenmu put this matter aside for the time being, and devoted himself to escorting Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi's exams.

March 1981, 3, the vernal equinox.

It is also the day of the entrance examination for Pingyang Night School of Qilu Normal University.

Zhao Wenmu got up early and prepared breakfast for Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi.

These days, he restrained his inner desire with strong willpower, and never tossed Zhao Jing at night.

It can be said that in order for Zhao Jing to be admitted to the night school, he made a great sacrifice.

He can't bother his wife, so he plays games and tells stories with his daughter every day.

In the little girl's heart, her father's favorability continued to increase.

The two beautiful candidates continued to read for a while after breakfast, while Zhao Wenmu was busy taking care of the little girl for breakfast.

The little one is now trying to wean.

But she was very uncooperative.

It takes about four to 10 minutes to eat a meal, and Zhao Wenmu feels more tiring than frying crayfish for a long time every time he waits for her to finish her meal.

Not only that, every time this little guy eats food everywhere, on the table, on the ground, on the clothes, the only thing is that he doesn't stuff it into his mouth.

Make yourself into a little cat every time.

"Baby, when you grow up, if you are still so disobedient, mother will beat you up!"

Zhao Wenmu used this sentence every time to scare her.

The little guy will definitely be able to go to Xiamen University to study in the future.

After serving the little ancestor for breakfast, Zhao Wenmu picked her up and sent Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi to the examination room.

The school is just opposite the county party committee compound, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk, which can be said to be very convenient.

There are still many candidates walking inside. Zhao Wenmu took a look. Many of them are elderly. It is estimated that they have repeatedly failed in the formal enrollment and have to settle for the next best thing.

There are also some young people.

Zhao Wenmu felt face-blind. Anyway, he had two eyes and one mouth, so there was no monster.

It's boring, don't watch it.

They are not as good-looking as their own daughter-in-law.

He waved his hand vigorously, and then grabbed the little chubby right hand of the little girl and waved it a few times.

"Baby, call mom to cheer up! Auntie, cheer up!"

"Oil!"

"Oil!"

The baby-like appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"What a cute little baby!"

"Yes, you are so cute!"

"It's a pity that such a handsome man is already married!"

For some reason, the painting style suddenly turned crooked, and Zhao Wenmu hurried to get out of the way.

I went to the crayfish restaurant with my little girl on my back to inspect it, and then went home to prepare a caring lunch.

Although there was an hour and a half break at noon, both Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi felt that going home would interfere with their performance in the afternoon.

So it was agreed early in the morning that Zhao Wenmu would deliver meals to the two at noon.

Zhao Wenmu counted the time, and made lunch at about 11:20, packed it in an aluminum lunch box, wrapped it in a thick bag, carried a pot of hot water, and went to school.

I arrived at school almost just after the exam.

The students are going to the cafeteria.

The school cafeteria is usually only open to students, but today it is open to all candidates and accompanying personnel, and can be purchased with cash and food stamps.

Zhao Wenmu made stir-fried shepherd's purse, crispy pork, boiled fish and chicken soup with yam, and served with a little pickle pickled by Zhao Jing herself.

The staple food is rice mixed with walnuts and peanuts.

Zhao Jing also has a poached egg in the shape of a heart.

Rong Xinyi also has one, but the exact shape cannot be seen.

Zhao Jing also had more than a dozen peeled crayfish.

Rong Xinyi looked at all the food in Zhao Jing's lunch box, and began to twist her body with her mouth pursed.

"Third brother, has my poached egg been eaten by a dog? Why is it in this shape?"

"And I won't even give me a single crayfish!"

Zhao Jing smiled and gave her half of her crayfish.

The sumptuous lunch here attracted a lot of envious eyes.

"Wow! The food over there is delicious, I want to eat too!"

"That girl is so happy!"

Others ate stir-fried radishes and cabbage in a clear soup with little water, and steamed buns or corn tortillas, so it was naturally incomparable with this place.

The two girls have small bird stomachs, and the meals brought by Zhao Wenmu are almost the same.

After lunch, Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi went back to the classroom to rest and continue their review.

Zhao Wenmu didn't dislike it either, picked up the chopsticks used by his wife, and cleaned up the rest of the food.
