Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 842 The silly guy who loves to show off!

After hearing Zhou Jianmin's introduction, Wu Aiguo pretended to ponder for a moment and said to Zhou Jianmin, "Director Zhou! More than a thousand bicycles may seem like a lot, but the value of these bicycles combined can only buy one or two pieces of equipment at most!"

"Director Wu! We can pay for the shortfall." Wu Aiguo's answer finally gave Zhou Jianmin hope. Without waiting for Wu Aiguo to finish his words, he immediately expressed his willingness to use money to purchase the equipment.

Wu Aiguo heard Zhou Jianmin's answer, thought for a moment again, and said to Zhou Jianmin: "Director Zhou! I can give you the quota of five equipment. We want this batch of bicycles that are not planned by your factory. If you agree, we will ship the bicycles to Jingyang City after the New Year, and we will handle the relevant procurement procedures together at that time."

When Zhou Jianmin heard what Wu Aiguo said and learned that Wu Aiguo was willing to exchange five machines for bicycles, he immediately showed an ecstatic expression on his face and hurriedly thanked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! On behalf of all the employees of our Fei Ge Bicycle Factory, thank you for your support."

When Wu Aiguo heard Zhou Jianmin's thanks, he smiled and said to everyone, "Director Zhou! Dear guests who have come from afar, please don't stand and take your seats!"

"Director Wu! You only have so few people in your Trade Department. Can you consume all those bicycles? How about letting me, your brother, help you share some of the burden?" When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's words and thought of the purpose of his visit today, he hurriedly asked Wu Aiguo with a smile.

The Trade Department has a total of 67 employees. Based on the quota of one bicycle per person, the Trade Department only needs 67 bicycles in total. Facing Li Huaide's request, Wu Aiguo thought for a moment and asked Li Huaide with a smile: "Director Li! How many bicycles does your steel rolling mill want?"

When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's question, he immediately replied with a smile: "Director Wu! I don't need more, just 300 will be enough!"

After learning the number Li Huaide quoted, Wu Aiguo replied very straightforwardly: "Okay! Then I'll give you 300 bicycles to the steel mill. You just need to prepare the money to buy the bicycles."

When Li Huaide heard Wu Aiguo's words, he immediately thanked Wu Aiguo happily: "Director Wu! On behalf of our steel mill, thank you for your support."

"The food is served!" Not long after everyone entered the box, Wang Daya walked in from outside carrying a plate of food.

When Wu Aiguo saw Wang Daya bringing the dishes into the private room, he immediately ordered Lin Xuemei, "Director Lin! Hurry up and take out the wine I brought last time. We must make sure our guests eat and drink well tonight!"

When Lin Xuemei heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, she immediately smiled and said to him, "Director! The wine is ready!"

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening after dinner. After seeing off the guests, Wu Aiguo drove away from the Trade Bureau with Sha Zhu and Wang Daya.

"Director! How much does a bicycle cost?" Wang Daya, who was sitting in the back, thought about the reception tonight and finally couldn't help but ask Wu Aiguo who was driving.

When Wu Aiguo heard Wang Daya's question, he smiled and asked Wang Daya, "Da Ya! Do you want to buy a bicycle too?"

When Wang Daya heard Wu Aiguo's question and thought about her family's situation, she replied unwillingly, "Director! You need a bicycle ticket to buy a bicycle. Now I finally found a bicycle that doesn't require a ticket. I want to go home and discuss with my parents to see if I can buy a bicycle."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Wang Daya said, he thought of Wang Daya's family conditions and smiled as he introduced her to her: "Daya! Fei Ge Bicycle Factory provides two kinds of bicycles, one is a 168-inch bicycle and the other is for women. The price of the -inch bicycle is yuan, and the price of the women's bicycle is ten yuan more expensive. If your family is short of money, I can lend you some."

When Wang Daya heard what Wu Aiguo said, she quickly thanked him, "Director! Thank you. I will ask my mother when I get home. If the money is not enough, I will borrow from you then."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Wang Daya said, he replied while driving, "Okay! If you don't have enough money, remember to come to me. After all, this opportunity to buy a bicycle without a ticket only comes once."

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the courtyard gate. After saying goodbye to Wu Aiguo, Sha Zhu and Wang Daya walked into the courtyard, carrying a net bag containing lunch boxes and a cloth bag containing New Year's goods respectively.

"Zhuzi! Daya! Why did you come back so late today? Look at the bags you have. Could they be the New Year's goods distributed by the company?" Yan Bugui, who had just finished watching TV and was about to go home, saw Sha Zhu and Wang Daya walking into the yard with a lot of things in their hands, and asked them curiously. When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui's question, he thought of the number of New Year's goods ordered by the company, and said to Yan Bugui with a proud face: "Uncle! The company has a reception today, so we came back so late. As for the things in this bag, just as you guessed, they are the New Year's goods distributed by our company."

When Yan Bugui heard Sha Zhu's words and saw the big cloth bag in Sha Zhu's hand, he asked him curiously and enviously, "Zhu Zi! What kind of New Year's goods did your company distribute this year? They filled two bags."

When Sha Zhu heard Yan Bugui's question and saw Yan Bugui's envious expression, he proudly introduced: "Uncle! It's not a big deal, just five catties of pork, a white-striped chicken, one catty of bacon, ten catties of white flour, ten catties of rice, five catties of apples, one catty of peanuts and melon seeds, plus two feet of Dacron cloth."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said and learning about the amount of New Year's goods distributed by the Trade Department this year, Yan Bugui showed envy on his face again and said, "Zhu Zi! Our school distributed one pound of meat, two pounds of flour, and one pound of peanuts and melon seeds this year. Compared with your Trade Department, there is no comparison at all."

"Brother Zhuzi! Your sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home, why don't you go home and have a rest." Wu Aiguo had just walked into the front yard with two cloth bags when he saw Sha Zhu showing off with Yan Bugui. Facing Yan Bugui's sour answer, Wu Aiguo did not forget to shout to Sha Zhu.

Although Sha Zhu's nickname contains the word "silly", he is not stupid at all. Facing Wu Aiguo's reminder, Sha Zhu immediately realized that he had just shown off too much, and smiled awkwardly: "Uncle! My wife and son are still waiting for me to go back, so I won't talk to you any more."

When Yan Bugui saw Sha Zhu carrying a cloth bag and a net bag and walking towards the Moon Gate, he immediately turned his attention to Wu Aiguo and said to him enviously, "Aiguo! Your Trade Department is indeed a department under the State Council. The New Year's goods you distributed are several times more than what our school has."

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words and felt the envy in Yan Bugui's words. He smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle! Our unit is specialized in purchasing work. We know many departments, so we purchase more New Year goods. In addition, our unit has few people, so we get more things than other units."

"Aiguo! You're back!" Liang Jing, who was knitting a sweater in the house, heard the casual chat between Wu Aiguo and Yan Bugui in the yard. She immediately lifted the curtain, walked out of the house, and shouted to Wu Aiguo.

When Wu Aiguo heard Liang Jing's shout, he immediately smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle! My little Jing called me, so I'll go back first. Bye!"

After Liang Jing watched Wu Aiguo put the two cloth bags on the table, she immediately asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! What new year goods did your unit distribute this year?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Liang Jing's question, he took out the New Year's goods from the cloth bag and introduced them to Liang Jing: "Xiao Jing! This year's New Year's goods are similar to last year's, but there are five kilograms of apples and two feet of Dacron fabric."

After hearing what Wu Aiguo had said, Liang Jing thought of the task her father had given her when he left the surgery office, and quickly asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! Have you guys discussed everything about the bicycles? How many bicycles did Fei Ge Bicycle Factory give to your Trade Department this time?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Liang Jing asking about bicycles, he immediately guessed why Liang Jing asked about this matter, and then smiled and introduced Liang Jing: "Xiao Jing! Fei Ge Bicycle Factory, in order to communicate with the production equipment, deliberately worked overtime to produce more than 1,300 bicycles that were not planned. After deducting the 300 bicycles for the steel rolling mill, there are still 1,000 bicycles left."

Liang Jing heard Wu Aiguo's introduction and learned that the Trade Department would have 1,000 unplanned bicycles. She immediately asked Wu Aiguo, "Aiguo! My father wants to purchase a batch of unplanned bicycles for the hospital staff. I wonder if you can give our hospital a batch of bicycles?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Liang Jing's request, he pretended to be embarrassed to tease her, "Xiao Jing! Although these bicycles are not part of the plan, I believe that once the news spreads, many people will come to me to ask for bicycles."

"But who asked our Dean Liang to marry his daughter who he raised with great difficulty to me? Just for your sake, my father-in-law, I will definitely try my best to satisfy his request."

When Liang Jing heard Wu Aiguo's answer, she was still embarrassed by her father's request. Until she heard what Wu Aiguo said next, she immediately realized that she was fooled by Wu Aiguo. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Wu Aiguo's waist, and said coquettishly: "I asked you to tease me on purpose!"

Because it was winter, Wu Aiguo was wearing thicker clothes, so Liang Jing's actions could not cause any pain to Wu Aiguo, but he was very cooperative and said, "Wife! I was wrong! Please forgive me this time!"
