Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 124 Send Supplies!
After Wu Aiguo sent Qin Huairu back to his place of residence, he rode to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then drove the supply and marketing cooperative's car towards the suburbs of the city.

Wu Aiguo came to the place where the goods were loaded last time, loaded the stick noodles needed by the coal yard into the carriage, and then drove the small truck towards the coal yard.

"Comrade! Our coal yard is not working today. Who are you looking for?" The car was stopped by the security guard at the entrance of the coal yard.

When Wu Aiguo heard the security guard's question, he politely introduced: "Comrade! I'm from Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and I've made an appointment with Deputy Director Guo of your coal yard."

When the security guard heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, he immediately remembered what Guo Ruiming had explained to them when he arrived at the coal yard this morning.

Thinking of Guo Ruiming's explanation, the security guard said politely to Wu Aiguo: "Comrade! Our director Guo is waiting for you in the office. Please wait a moment, I will open the door for you."

After the gate was opened, Wu Aiguo drove a small truck into the coal yard. Guo Ruiming, who had received the call in advance, immediately greeted him from the office building.

Guo Ruiming waited for Wu Aiguo to park the car, and immediately walked to the driver's cab, shook hands with Wu Aiguo, and said enthusiastically, "Section Chief Wu! You have worked hard!"

Wu Aiguo shook hands with Guo Ruiming, and said to Guo Ruiming with a smile: "Director Guo! You are lucky. My friend just put in a batch of grain yesterday. I bought five thousand catties of stick noodles for you. A thousand catties of white flour."

For the coal farm, a few thousand catties of grain can only temporarily alleviate their plight, but for Guo Ruiming and the management of the coal farm, it is better than nothing.

Guo Ruiming learned that Wu Aiguo not only helped them get a thousand catties of stick noodles, but also a thousand catties of white flour, which made him feel extremely excited, and quickly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Chief Wu! To all our coalfield workers, thank you for helping us."

Hearing Guo Ruiming's thanks, Wu Aiguo said to Guo Ruiming very modestly: "Director Guo! Today is a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't be able to produce so much food for you."

After Wu Aiguo's words came to this point, he quickly said to Guo Ruiming: "Director Guo! I still have something to do later, so hurry up and arrange someone to unload the truck and weigh it!"

When Guo Ruiming heard Wu Aiguo's words, he quickly greeted several of his subordinates and arranged for people to unload the truck and weigh the weight.

After unloading the grain, Wu Aiguo took the payment from Guo Ruiming, refused Guo Ruiming's invitation to treat him to dinner, and drove away from the coal yard.

After Wu Aiguo drove the minivan back to the supply and marketing cooperative, he took the things he had prepared for Sister You and rode his bicycle to Sister You's house.

According to the address Sister You told him, Wu Aiguo soon arrived at the gate of a courtyard with two entrances.

"Comrade! Who are you looking for?" Two middle-aged men sitting at the gate of the compound playing chess saw Wu Aiguo's arrival. One of them asked Wu Aiguo curiously.

Wu Aiguo heard the middle-aged man's inquiry and quickly introduced himself: "Comrade! Hello! I am from the purchasing department of the purchasing supply and marketing cooperative. I made an appointment with Sister You from our labor union to give her something today."

"Section Chief Wu! Hello! I'm Lifang's lover, Lin Heping. Our family Lifang said that you will come over this morning. Tell me to wait for you here early in the morning." The middle-aged man heard Wu Aiguo's words After introducing himself, he immediately stood up from the chair and greeted Wu Aiguo enthusiastically.

Hearing Lin Heping's self-introduction, Wu Aiguo shook hands with Lin Heping first, and then said politely, "Brother Lin! I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long because of other things in the morning."

Hearing Wu Aiguo's answer, Lin Heping said with a smile, "Section Chief Wu! Look at what you said, without your help, our kid's banquet might not even have four dishes. You said that, It really puts me to shame.”

After Lin Heping led Wu Aiguo into the courtyard, he immediately shouted to the room: "Lifang! Section Chief Wu is here!"

You Lifang, who was doing hygiene in the house, heard her husband's shout and immediately came out of the house. She greeted Wu Aiguo happily and said, "Aiguo! You are here. Thank you for your hard work! Please come in soon!"

Hearing You Lifang's greeting, Wu Aiguo took off the cloth bag tied to the back seat of the bicycle, then walked into You Lifang's house with the cloth bag, took out things from the cloth bag, and introduced to You Lifang: "Sister You! A total of ten catties of pork belly, five catties of beef balls, five catties of sea prawns, and five catties of octopus will be obtained for you this time."

You Lifang looked at the things Wu Aiguo took out from the cloth bag, and she finally let go of her high-hanging heart. She quickly asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! How much are these things in total? I'll give you the money."

When Wu Aiguo heard You Lifang's inquiry, he introduced with a smile: "Sister You! Pork and beef balls are [-] cents per pound. Sea shrimps are more expensive at [-] yuan, and hairtail is [-] yuan per pound."

When You Lifang heard the price quoted by Wu Aiguo, she was obviously taken aback, and quickly said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! We usually buy pork, and it is also seventy cents a catty, but we need meat tickets. I beg you to do something, how can you do it?" Let you put money in it?"

Wu Aiguo heard You Lifang's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Sister You! I came here today just to help my colleagues, not to speculate. Naturally, others calculate how much money I have, and I will calculate how much you have. I can assure you that absolutely not a penny has been put into it.”

You Lifang felt relieved when she heard Wu Aiguo's promise, and quickly took out a few cards of Great Unity from her pocket, handed the money for these things to Wu Aiguo, and thanked Wu Aiguo again: "Aiguo! If there is no you this time For your help, my sister and your brother-in-law can only venture to the black market to buy food, and my sister is here to thank you on behalf of our whole family!"

Hearing You Lifang's thanks, Wu Aiguo reached out to take the money You Lifang handed him, then took out a prepared red envelope from his pocket, smiled and said to You Lifang: "Sister You! I'm going on a business trip in Baoding tomorrow, probably It will take three or four days to come back, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with your son's wedding banquet, this is what I mean, I hope you don't refuse."

When You Lifang saw the red envelope in Wu Aiguo's hand, she immediately refused, "Patriotic! You can't do this!"

"Sister You! If you recognize my younger brother, then accept this red envelope. If you don't, then we will deal with you as colleagues." Seeing You Lifang refusing to accept the red envelope, Wu Aiguo pretended to be dissatisfied and said to You Lifang .

Seeing Wu Aiguo, You Lifang talked about this, so she could only reluctantly accept the red envelope that Wu Aiguo handed her, and thanked Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Patriotic! Since you have said so, then the red envelope sister Just accept it, and when you come back from your business trip, I will treat you to dinner alone!"
