The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 57 Today is an Important Day

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Liu Haizhong rode his bicycle back to the backyard.

Almost every household in the courtyard has bicycles, but the deaf old lady and Jia's family can't help it.Why don't Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu have bicycles?
As soon as Liu Haizhong arrived at the door, he smelled a scent, "What is cooking so delicious?"

The three mothers stepped forward and replied: "Xiao Ming in the front yard said that he would drink two cups with you in the evening. He brought a chicken, as well as small mushrooms, cucumbers, and celery. He came to the door with two big net bags. The chicken and I It's been stewed, and it's all stewed."

Liu Haizhong asked, "Did he say anything?"

"I didn't say it, I just want to build a good relationship with the second uncle in your yard. Didn't I also invite you to drink last time?"

Liu Haizhong asked in a good mood, "Didn't you get some white flour steamed buns?"

"I'm not about to get steamed. I will get the next month's food stamps tomorrow, so don't worry about lack of white noodles this month."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Well, it's okay. What about others?"

"It's at Xu Damao's house at the opposite door. I've already said, call him when you're done."

"Then you steam more, Xu Damao will probably come along."

Liu Haizhong went out to Xu Damao's house.

"Da Mao." Liu Haizhong shouted at the door.

Xu Damao got up and wanted to greet him, "Second uncle, I'm at home."

Liu Haizhong had already walked in.

Li Ming also stood up and said hello, "Second uncle."

"Sit down, I'll come over and take a look."

Xu Damao poured a cup of hot water, "Second uncle, drink some water." Xu Damao and Li Ming had been drinking for a while, and it was newly boiled and steaming hot.

"Xiao Ming, you are too polite. You brought so many things to my house while drinking." Liu Haizhong sat down behind the table and said politely, "Da Mao, come to my house for a drink at night."

Xu Damao responded, "Second uncle, I have a weak spleen and stomach, and I am taking traditional Chinese medicine for recuperation. I will bring a bottle of Erguotou to honor you, and Xiao Ming and I will have some beer."

Li Ming also opened his mouth and said nonsense, "Second uncle, I'll drink with you. I'll go home and get beer for brother Da Mao. The beer has a low alcohol content and has no effect on traditional Chinese medicine."

Liu Haizhong said cheerfully: "How can I say this, there are so many young people in the courtyard, you two are the most promising!"

Xu Damao gave it a thumbs up, "In the courtyard, you are the only one who takes care of us juniors."

Li Ming also praised, "The second uncle always cares about and takes care of us juniors. It is a great loss for the factory that the second uncle did not become the leader of our factory. Logically, it should be mentioned."

Xu Damao answered, "That's right."

These two young people spoke really nicely, Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I was uneducated back then, or I would have gone up in five or eight years."

"Oh? There is such a reason." Li Ming praised him.

Liu Haizhong said regretfully: "At that time, the leaders even came to talk to me. Unfortunately, I was only a high school graduate, and there was a junior high school graduate over there."

Li Ming encouraged: "There is no way for the main factory to be promoted. You didn't want to be transferred to the branch factory first to be the leader, and then turned around and promoted back to the main factory?"

At this time, Liu Guangtian shouted for dinner in the courtyard, "Dad, my mother said the steamed buns are ready."

Liu Haizhong got up and said, "The meal is ready, come to my house to eat and chat." Without further words, Li Ming's words remained in Liu Haizhong's heart.

"Second uncle, brother Da Mao, you go first, I'll come back and get two bottles of beer." Li Ming was also ready to drink beer, and a bottle of Erguotou was probably only enough for both Liu Haizhong and his son.

The dishes cooked by the second aunt are not bad.Satisfied with wine and food, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Under Li Ming's deliberate guidance, Xu Damao and Li Ming kept bragging about their prestige as leaders at the wine table.

Under Xu Damao, Li Ming, and Liu Guangtian's deliberate flattery, Liu Haizhong was so drunk that he couldn't find his way.

Liu Guangtian also had a conversation with Li Ming.Liu Guangfu was not allowed to drink, and his presence was too low.

Before Qin Huairu went back last night, she had already asked for tonight's leave, and Li Ming lay down on the bed and fell asleep when she returned home.

On the 24th.

Today is an important day for many families.

You can get food stamps for next month!

Li Ming got up to freshen up, had breakfast outside, and fed the wild boars, hares, pheasants, and domestic chickens in the small world on the way.

He planned to continue to carry a wild boar to the small cafeteria in the afternoon, every two or three days.After the master fisherman, there is the character design of a master hunter.At that time, I will bring a colleague to watch the trap together, and catch two live ones from the pit, and someone will take the initiative to brag for him.

Li Ming returned to the courtyard and waited for the people from the food store to come and distribute food tickets.

Qin Huairu had already told him that No. 95 Siheyuan usually issued food tickets in the morning.The more times they have been collected, the residents have mastered the rules of the staff of the grain store.

Just like going to the market, without notice, each household slowly gathered in the front yard, and the front yard was very lively for a while.

It was just after 9 o'clock, and it was the elder sister who had distributed the food book to Li Ming yesterday, accompanied by a community officer.

Yan Bugui, who was on summer vacation, helped maintain order and told Yan Jiekuang, "Third brother, you go to the back yard and call them to collect food stamps."

Yan Jiekuang was unwilling to run errands, "Dad, everyone should be here."

"Go as soon as I tell you, and call again." Yan Bugui spoke again.

Yan Jiekuang reluctantly went to the back to call for someone.

Li Ming asked proactively, "Third Master, do you need any help?"

"There's nothing to be busy with, we just need to maintain order."

Li Ming gave a cigarette to the community officer, and asked, "There are more than 20 households in the yard, will it take a long time to distribute food stamps?"

The community officer said: "The distribution will be finished in a while. There are 10 catties and 20 catties of food stamps, and there are not many of them in one family, and the number of oil stamps is even less. The number can be corrected soon."

"Some older people can't read."

The community officer explained: "The higher-ups have thought of it a long time ago. The food stamps are distinguished by various colors, and the characters on the coupons are large and clear, and you can still recognize the weight of the catty. Besides, there are Teacher Yan and you by the side."

"What about those who are at work and no one is home?"

The community officer said casually, "They go to the food store to get it by themselves. For such an important thing, they get it for themselves."

Except for families with children who have changed slightly with age and family members whose jobs have not changed, the amount of receipts has basically become a habit.

It was soon his turn. Li Ming confirmed the number of food stamps and handed over the food book. The lady in the food store stamped the August page.

Li Ming didn't leave directly after receiving the gift, but just stood aside to watch the excitement like most people.

Yan Bugui spoke up, "There are people queuing up at the grain store tonight."

"Usually, I don't see anyone queuing up at the grain store."

"A grain store is in charge of hundreds of thousands of households, and there will always be a lot of households who are in urgent need of food. Tomorrow is the first day of receiving next month's grain, so it's just crowded." Yan Bugui explained, " Besides, there is a big difference between flour and flour, usually only when there is good flour, there will be a queue. During the holidays or when you can buy sweet potatoes, there will be a long queue.”

Watching the shop sister leave with the community officer.

Li Ming asked: "Thousands of households, can the two of them finish the distribution in one day?"

Yan Bugui said casually, "It's not just their group. The grain store will arrange two or three groups of people to distribute food coupons today. A group of people will only distribute food tickets in a small area, and the time spent on the road is not bad. It can be finished."
