The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 40 Food Relations
Concrete floors, green brick walls, low and cramped houses, and blue and black overalls worn by pedestrians.

Under the golden sunlight, all these exude an old taste, and being in it is like swimming in the long river of history.

Only when a tandem bicycle broke into the picture, the whole painting style changed.

The weird kind.

The aunt who was walking with a basket on the side of the road crashed into a tree in shock.

The cadres riding bicycles and wearing four pockets were originally complacent, but now they lowered their proud heads.

The little girls stared wide-eyed, their faces blushed, and their legs were clamped tightly.

Don't think about it.

They want to sit on the back and ride a bicycle.

That gaze made Li Aiguo feel as if he would drive a Ferrari sports car to blow up the streets in later generations.

Cough, don't pretend, this feels pretty good.

Riding this thing is awesome.

Four wheels, leather seats, panoramic sunroof, open driving position, energy consumption per 4 kilometers is only [-] steamed buns.
Especially there are two smooth and bright bells on the handlebars, which one you want to fiddle with, which one to fiddle with.

Can't put it down.

Li Aiguo rode a tandem bicycle to the gate of the street office.

Looking at the high steps and threshold, I was in trouble.

Other people's bicycles can be passed by grabbing the bar of the bicycle and lifting it up.

These things are two bicycles, which weigh two hundred catties.

Okay, stop at the door.

Parked the car, went into the guard room, found Uncle Qin, and opened a big front door.

"Master, I have something to do with Director Wang, please take a look at the bicycle."

"What kind of bicycle, go to the courtyard."

Uncle Qin took the cigarette, opened the window to take a look, and clicked his lips twice: "Young man, it's okay, it's just your car. I don't think those Buddhist masters in our capital dare to do it."

Li Aiguo thought about it too, this thing is so eye-catching when riding out.

Those Buddha masters all pay attention to quietness when doing things, and don't shoot guns.

After asking where Director Wang's office is, Li Aiguo put on his canvas bag and went into the street office.

knock on the door.

See Director Wang correcting documents.

Li Aiguo said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, Li Aiguo from the rolling mill compound, here to go through the formalities of transferring grain."

Li Aiguo's current food relationship is in the sub-district office, and he receives food stamps and other coupons from the sub-district office on time every month.

Now I am a train driver, and I want to transfer the food relationship to the railway.

Director Wang raised his head and saw that it was Li Aiguo. He put on the cap of the pen and showed a smiling face: "Aiguo, you really passed the exam. Two days ago, Section Chief Zhang from the locomotive depot called me to retrieve your file. I still can't believe it."

Li Aiguo said with a hearty smile: "It's all thanks to your help, Aunt Wang. If you hadn't helped me get the bride price back, I wouldn't even be able to eat enough to eat, so I wouldn't have the energy to take the exam."

Director Wang smiled and shook his head: "As long as you don't hold grudges against me."

Li Aiguo sat up straight: "Don't bear any grudges. Aunt Wang is the director of the street office. She has to take care of the overall situation. It's okay for me to be wronged personally."

Compromise is not the goal, let the other party remember what you paid.

When Director Wang heard this, his expression was a little moved, and he stood up and patted Li Aiguo on the shoulder: "If everyone in our courtyard block is as sensible as you, then the work of our street office will be easy to do."

"You came just in time, the food stamps for this month of our street office have already come down.

I got you food stamps, match tickets, and soap tickets first.
You don't need a menstrual ticket either.
Then I will handle the food relationship for you. "

Hearing this, Li Aiguo was delighted.

Residents in the neighborhood go to the sub-district office to collect food stamps with their food books every month. After receiving the food stamps, they need to cross off the amount of this month on the food books.

The food relationship has been changed, and I have to go to the locomotive depot to exchange for a new food book, which still has this month's supply.

In other words, Li Aiguo could receive two months' worth of food this month.

Sure enough, if there is dedication, there will be rewards.

Li Aiguo didn't have a job before, and his grain ration was 28 catties a month.

Among them, the supply of flour accounts for 20% of the total quota, rice accounts for 10%, and the rest supplies coarse grains: cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, sorghum noodles, fresh sweet potatoes
Director Wang handed the ticket to Li Aiguo, and took out a stack of colorful tickets from his pocket.

"This is an ideological awareness ticket made by learning from foreign experience on our streets."

"Residents with poor ideological awareness are allocated green tickets for ideological awareness."

"I think a comrade like you who has a positive ideological consciousness can receive a red ticket."

Li Aiguo took a red ticket from Director Wang.

Just wondering what is the use of this thing, Director Wang explained with a smile:

"Recently, supplies have become more and more tight. The limited supplies will be given priority to residents with red tickets."

Li Aiguo had also heard about this, and originally thought that the tickets he received this time would be discounted by [-]%, but he did not expect that the sub-district office would issue them in full.

It seems that this is the credit for the ideological awareness vote.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, my little flower needs you to water it frequently." Li Aiguo giggled.

Director Wang smiled: "It's just a joke."

"Come on, now I'm going to help you handle the food relationship."

After getting the food connection, Li Aiguo thanked him and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something.

He turned around and looked at Director Wang: "Director, I heard that Silly Zhu is coming out soon."

"What?" Director Wang stood up with his eyes wide open.

After a while, she realized that she had lost her composure and sat down again.

Frowning, he said, "A while ago, I did receive a plea from a few people. Those people were all prominent figures before liberation. They hoped to let me do your work and release Silly Zhu."

She raised her head and glanced at Li Aiguo: "I know the whole thing best. You have already made concessions, so how can I make you suffer again, so I rejected them all."

Li Aiguo frowned: "Then which unit is Silly Zhu in custody now?"

"Of course it's the police station." Director Wang said.

Li Aiguo at the police station had a guess in his mind.

It seems that the deaf old lady was exhausted in the street office, and she asked someone to ask the leader of the courtyard police station.

In the current unit, there are still many old people before liberation.

Those people are still holding on to old ideas, and maybe they will release water.

It's just that trying to rescue Shazhu like this is too underestimating.

Li Aiguo returned to the courtyard on a tandem bicycle.

Looking at the high threshold, he sighed in annoyance.

Even if the bike is heavy, you can't throw it outside overnight.

Isn't that for the performance of the Buddhas?
Fortunately, Li Aiguo's physical fitness at this time is far beyond ordinary people.

I saw him reach out and grab the crossbar, and even lifted the bicycle up.

Step by step towards the threshold.

As soon as I took two steps, I felt that the bicycle suddenly became much lighter.

Looking back, I saw Xu Damao was holding the back seat of the car, his face full of surprise.

"My dear, Patriotic, why did you get such a big bicycle?"

"Men, they should be bigger."

Li Aiguo saw that Xu Damao was wearing a new Chinese tunic suit today, and he was a little curious: "Da Mao, are you on a date?"

"Hey, you've seen it all."

Xu Damao couldn't close his mouth: "Today, Director Lou's girl and I went to the park to play. Maybe after a while, we can get married."

"Really? Congratulations."

The two talked and carried the bicycle into the compound.

Yan Bugui was cleaning his bicycle, looked at the tandem bicycle, then looked at his own bicycle, turned around quietly, and pushed the bicycle into the house.

Xu Damao was proud: "This old boy has a bicycle, which he shows off at the gate all day long. Now it is fine. Compared with yours, his is like a toy."

"Hey, there are two bells here."

As he said that, Xu Damao reached out to grab the bell, but was pushed away by Li Aiguo.

"Can outsiders touch this thing?"

Xu Damao is also a transparent person. He immediately understood and scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's right. By the way, who did you save this bicycle for? I will also get one. When I go to the countryside to play movies, I don't have to worry about having too many things."

The things needed to play movies, such as projectors, film, power supplies, etc., add up to more than 200 catties.

Xu Damao once went to the countryside with Xu Jixiang, and he was exhausted to death.

"It's at Liu Haizhu's car repair shop at the corner of the street."

While speaking, Li Aiguo walked to the middle courtyard.

Sitting at the door, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Li Aiguo's bicycle, and his expression darkened immediately: "This damned little bastard actually bought a bicycle with our family's money. It's still this big. Is there anyone who bullies people like this?"
