Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 33 033 Progress
The next day, Tang Zhitong was pushed awake by his mother.

I was so happy after drinking last night, but my head hurts so much this morning.It's true that pure grain wine is used, but it also contains a lot of mixed alcohol...

I was confused all morning and got better in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Tang Zhitong called Wu Haiyang, expressed his gratitude and proposed that he would like to visit.

Wu Haiyang did not agree, saying that he was very busy during this period and might not have time to receive Tang Zhitong. He would make an appointment with Tang Zhitong in a few days to thank him for being half a month old.

The reason why I say half is because when he was at the construction site, Tang Zhitong proposed setting up a temporary clinic and contacted the medical university to bring Dr. Lu, but he did not directly connect the two.

Tang Zhitong readily agreed and sent his sincere blessings.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zhitong went to find Zheng Suo, intending to talk about serious work matters.

In fact, many jobs can be done by just one person. It is easy to just mess around, but it may not be possible to achieve results.

Tang Zhitong wanted to do a good job and come up with results, so he started thinking and thinking of ways. The first thing he thought of was to improve the house number.

As mentioned earlier, many hutongs do not have house numbers. In fact, the house numbers do not have to be made of enamel, metal or wood. They can also be written in ink, which is convenient, fast and saves money.

Tang Zhitong had specifically asked the people in the area before, and they didn't care at all about writing house numbers on their doors. Anyway, they were often graffitied by children.

The benefits of standardizing house numbers are obvious. Branch offices can deliver letters more quickly and accurately, and streets can also improve the efficiency of population management.

As a member of the unit, it is best to follow formal procedures for doing anything, so Tang Zhitong first went to Zheng Suo to explain the situation. Zheng Suo was very supportive and immediately took Tang Zhitong to the street.

After hearing this, the street official expressed his admiration for Tang Zhitong and said that the writing and ink writing could be shouldered by the street committee alone, so Tang Zhitong decided to embark on the journey of writing the Hu's name and house number tomorrow.

I won’t write about it today because cabbage is starting to come on the market one after another. This is also the last opportunity to stock up on non-staple food this year, and Tang Zhitong needs to check it out.

Due to lack of timely management, most of this year's cabbage has no cores, which is much worse than the ones in Tang's yard.

Because there are still vegetable supports from other places to support the [-] cities, most citizens think that cabbage is not good and do not buy it or buy less. In a few months, this kind of cabbage will be difficult to buy...

The cabbage is poor and the price is also low, costing eight cents per catty, which is 0.008 yuan/catty.Cabbage is not a controlled substance at the moment. It will be upgraded to a second-class substance next year and can be purchased with a ticket.

Tang Zhitong has decided on a job, and has no plans to venture to the eastern countryside. Instead, he plans to use the ant moving method, buying from house to house in his own delivery area and from house to house on his way home.

You can buy [-] to [-] kilograms of cabbage from each family, then find a place where there is no one to store it, and then go to the next store. It is not a problem to visit more than ten stores in a day.

For this purpose, Tang Zhitong specially prepared a small notebook, drew a table, and listed the locations, names, and times of the food stores. Which stores he went to on a given day were ticked under the corresponding dates, and he tried to avoid going to the same store consecutively.

There is nothing wrong with being cautious, and only by being careful can you sail a ship that lasts forever.

Occasionally, there will be mobile service vehicles set up by vegetable shops at intersections, which are commonly known as "vegetable beds".When they met, Tang Zhitong also planned to buy some so that the service staff could sell out and go home early.Tang Zhitong initially planned to buy it for about ten days. It wouldn't cost much anyway, so he could buy whatever he could.

When she got home, Tang's mother took the initiative to mention Wang Jingwen and whispered in Tang Zhitong's ear: "Euclidean, did the tall girl yesterday have no partner? What do you think?"

"Oh, Mom, there is no chance, we are not worthy of her." Tang Zhitong said to Tang's mother helplessly.

"Why don't you deserve it? You are tall, good-looking, have a house, and have a respectable job. I don't think there is any girl who is not worthy of you." Mother Tang was a little angry, hating that iron cannot become steel, and tapped Tang Zhitong's forehead, "You too I didn’t look at what they brought you. The girl brought ribs, canned food, and wine. I was afraid that you wouldn’t have enough for your treat, so I thought of you in every aspect. I didn’t have any idea in my mind, how could I buy it like this?”

Tang Zhitong thought about it, and it was true that Liu Yue bought tea and snacks, and Wang Jingwen bought ribs, canned food and liquor. This girl was very thoughtful!

You can dream about the future however you want, but life must be down-to-earth.

In the end, reason defeated emotion. Tang Zhitong said to his mother: "Did you pay attention to the clothes of my three friends yesterday? Their family conditions are better than ours."

"What's wrong? We don't dislike the poor and love the rich. Judging from the girl's face, words and deeds, she doesn't look like someone who dislikes the poor and loves the rich." Since her son became a delivery boy, Mrs. Tang's face has become more smiley. I also feel confident.

"My mom, I guess they are from high-ranking families. Even if she doesn't mind, how can her parents? The family will definitely not agree. How many people have gotten married since ancient times? Do you think she is a good person? Girl, we can't just...fool her when she's young and ignorant without her parents' consent? If someone does this to my sister in the future, I can stab his whole family! The same goes for other parents, if it gets to that point , in the end it is our family that will suffer, and we may not even be able to keep our jobs. Do you think this is true?" Tang Zhitong was also very conflicted, but if eating a meal could make it so "she has to do it", that would be too much. Fake, after all, it’s love at first sight, also called lust.

"Take it slow, maybe their parents are enlightened... Oh, what a pity." Tang's mother was not interested, she muttered a few words, and went to the side to get Tang Zhitong's cotton shoes.

In the dead of night, Tang Zhitong was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrels.How many men don't like a girl like Wang Jingwen?

It's not impossible to be brave enough to pursue her. Nowadays, there are many people who get married after meeting each other, but as the saying goes, small families cannot afford the wrath.

The best opportunity is after the wind blows, but even after the wind blows, class reorganization will mostly only take place between the poor bourgeoisie and the good workers and peasants. As for the situation of Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen, haha...

Tang Zhitong was from a small family and didn't dare to take this risk, so it would be nice to just treat each other as friends.

Leave everything to time. Anyway, Wang Jingwen and I are not old enough, and I am in mourning, so we'll see what happens.

…………

In the next few days, Tang Zhitong was busy delivering goods, buying cabbage, and writing house numbers. Everything went smoothly.

The name of the hutong is written at both ends of the hutong entrance, and the house number is written directly on the gate, from east to west, left single and right double, and written down the line.

For several days, Tang Zhitong explained the arrangement rules to the people watching while writing, and asked his family members to write the receiving address according to the house number so that they could receive the letters faster.

The people all support it, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Who doesn’t want to receive a letter from home or a remittance order early?
　The hoarding of goods has come to an end, and the opportunities for hoarding in the future will be greatly reduced.The material reserves are in place, and the subsequent plot will slowly unfold along the historical context.
