Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 386 385 Peaceful years
Some people say that getting promoted, getting rich, and losing his wife are the three greatest blessings for a man.

Tang Zhitong disagreed. It could only be regarded as a blessing for some men. For him, getting promoted and making a fortune did not require the death of his wife.

No longer in love, no longer willing to make do, or no longer in love, don't wait, don't delay, get divorced easily, get together and break up, the world will go on the same without anyone.

As long as you divorce happily and give your first wife some financial support, no matter whether you are an 80-year-old man with a 18-year-old wife, or a 60-year-old woman with a 30-year-old man, no matter what the law thinks, at least everyone will recognize you as benevolent and righteous.

Why should he carelessly remarry his first wife before her bones are cold? Who is disgusting? Pooh!
Early in the morning on October 10, the train departed from Anton and swayed towards its destination.

Zhang Jinbo and Kong Yiqin were unable to catch up with the tenth anniversary celebration due to escort reasons, and their mouths and faces were filled with regret.

In the car, Tang Zhitong learned that Fangyuan had gotten another fish, and he went to Shichahai to buy crucian carp. Didn't the opportunity to show off come now?
The three of them were busy, chatting, and at the same time vigilant. Fortunately, no accidents occurred and they arrived at Sijiu City safely.

After the new station was opened, even though the new station was closer to Huashi Street, Tang Zhitong did not get off the train here, but followed him back to the Escort Department.

It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the Escort Department. Although he was still on vacation, Tang Zhitong did not leave, but took his things back to his office.

With unkempt hair and red eyes, Tang Zhitong had just washed his face and drank some water when Fangyuan came in carrying a shoulder bag.

Generally speaking, two bottles are definitely enough for babies under one year old. However, due to weak intestines and stomach, diarrhea after eating cannot be ruled out. For the sake of the child, we can only use different methods to promote lactation.

"Well, I can't buy pig's trotters, so I can only buy some crucian carp stew to drink. The price of crucian carp is almost endless. It was only 30 to 40 cents per catty a year ago, but now it's not even 1.5 cents to buy." Speaking of the price of fish. , Fangyuan looked like he had a toothache.

"Hey, I have a little hobby of fishing. Tomorrow happens to be Sunday. I will squat for a long time and catch something for you." Tang Zhitong added.

But this year, milk replacer powder has become a best-seller, and it is not easy to buy. It has become a restricted product. In the near future, it will only be available with a ticket.

As we all know, the raw material of milk powder is milk. Milk has a wide range of uses. It is used in snack factories and some hospitality establishments. Milk powder is suitable for all ages, and the market has long been in short supply.

The milk is sorted and packaged by the milk station, and delivered to various streets by dedicated personnel. The bottles are recycled for a deposit. After drinking the milk for the day, you can pick up the bottle to receive new milk the next day.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I just want to thank you. Don't wait for the full moon to drink. Let's do it tomorrow. Regardless of whether you can catch it or not, come and sit." Fang Yuan pointed to the fact that his lover was hospitalized and said cheerfully. .

Babies over 1 year old have larger appetites, and one bottle of milk is definitely not enough. At this time, either more milk powder or milk replacer powder is added. After all, families with enough breast milk will not order milk.

Currently, you can buy milk with a milk certificate. Relevant departments stipulate that babies under one year old are limited to buying two bottles a day, and those between 1 and 2 years old can buy one bottle. Each bottle is half a pound and costs five cents. No tickets are required for the time being.

"Didn't the hospital issue a certificate?" Tang Zhitong also lit a cigarette, flicked out the match, and put it in the ashtray. He couldn't participate in the discussion about the milk issue.

"The country won't ignore it, so relax. I heard that Brother Yuan is looking for crucian carp?" Tang Zhitong had no other choice but to provide assistance from the side.

"Fang Ke, Tang Gu, are you going to pay your wages now?" The two brothers had just made an appointment when someone knocked on the door and urged for payment of wages.

It is unrealistic to increase milk production in a short period of time, so milk replacer powder was developed.

This is the situation, so Fangyuan's worries are not unreasonable.

"Sure, no problem." Tang Zhitong agreed immediately.

Milk replacer powder is made from a mixture of soybean flour, rice flour and a small amount of milk powder. Its initial target customers were children over two years old. Due to price and palatability issues, it has been slow to sell.

"Well, children are debts. I'm almost worried to death. Your sister-in-law doesn't know what's going on this time. She doesn't have enough milk for the third child." Fang Yuan stepped forward, lit a cigarette, and confided to Tang Zhitong.

Wu Haiyang once mentioned milk substitute powder to Tang Zhitong at the beginning of this year, saying that people in Shanghai County had snapped up milk substitute powder and lotus root powder that were not usually popular.

"Congratulations to Brother Yuan, you are so happy to have Linzi!" Tang Zhitong nodded, sent his blessings, and took out a cigarette with him.

"Good guy, you're willing to come back. You've come back just in time. You've got your salary back. You can pay it." Fangyuan put her satchel on Tang Zhitong's desk as she entered.

"It's open. After getting the milk certificate, the child's stool is not good after eating milk. I can only make do with it for now. Who knows how the supply will be in the future. I always feel uneasy." Fangyuan understood what Tang Zhitong meant, but when he said This, the voice is still much lower.

Anyone who wants to make progress or has a wink would not disturb the two of them at this time, but ordinary workers and employees are so stubborn these days. Not to mention just urging, there are also people who point their noses and scold.

"Fat! Come on." Fangyuan put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and did not walk away.

Fangyuan had counted the money, but Tang Zhitong had not. The handover was hasty and something went wrong. Both of them looked ugly, so they simply pulled up a chair and sat next to them to help Tang Zhitong distribute it together.

The two worked together, Tang Zhitong counted once, and Fangyuan counted again. The speed was much faster than when one person counted twice, and all wages were paid near noon.

When paying wages, there are two small details.

First of all, it was Xie Qu who gave Tang Zhitong a look. Tang Zhitong understood and the matter of transporting sweet potatoes to Gu Mancang's hometown had been settled.

There were so many people talking, Tang Zhitong could only nod and smile in thanks.

Next was Shu Qing, who had a short haircut and collected Wan Xiangyang's salary on her behalf.

Maybe Wan Xiangyang told her something, but she was a little shy when she saw Tang Zhitong.

After the salary was paid, Fangyuan still had no intention of returning to the office. The two lit up cigarettes again, not talking about personal matters, but business matters.

"The assessment plan has been approved by the ministry. Let's try it out this month to prepare for the formal assessment." Fangyuan blew out a smoke ring and said.

"Isn't that great? There's no need to rework and change the plan." Tang Zhitong nodded and continued.

"The escort department already doesn't have enough manpower. If we add such an assessment task, there will be too much to do." Fang Yuan frowned, feeling a little worried.

"This...can we increase manpower? During the training, the local bureau made similar requests, and the ministry agreed in principle to increase temporary workers first." Tang Zhitong recalled Hao Ren's speech during the national promotion training.

"I mentioned it a long time ago. The Municipal Bureau has always said that we should study and study it. The Municipal Bureau is also under great pressure. The superiors asked us to reduce the quota and streamline the personnel. Instead of reducing it, we have to increase it. It is quite difficult." Fangyuan shook his head.

"Well, can we start with dual management? I went out these two times recently..." Tang Zhitong organized his thoughts, organized his language, and told Fangyuan what he had seen during his last two trips with the car.

"Letter security is greater than the sky. In order to ensure 100% communication security, can we try to apply for more manpower and enhance safety during escort?" Tang Zhitong finally gave his own curved plan to save the country.

"That's a good idea, that's a good idea! I'm going to find other escorts to find out the situation now, and we'll do it again tomorrow. As long as we persuade Lao He, the problem with the city bureau won't be big." Fang Yuan's brows widened. Come. "Sure." Tang Zhitong guessed that Fangyuan wanted to "touch it up", but he didn't remind it because he also supported it and had no objection.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon at work. When the upper management adds some new functions to a department, the department head usually distributes the increased workload to employees and does not participate in the specific work himself.

Smarter department heads should take the opportunity to seek benefits from their superiors at this time, either by giving employees a salary increase or by adding more people to the department.

But there are always some people who think they are very smart. They neither raise salaries nor add people. Instead, they only add burdens to employees and draw a pie. Some people even don't even bother to draw a pie.

Fangyuan is different from those people. Although his educational level is not high, his butt has always been on the side of the employees.

It is unrealistic to generally raise the salary of escorts, so the only way is to add more people.

Just do it, Fangyuan Fengfenghuohuo went to find other escorts to understand the situation. Tang Zhitong simply packed up and prepared to go home to rest. He was a little tired these days.

Before leaving, Tang Zhitong went to the vegetable field to take a look at the cabbage.

Although it has not rained for a few days, the cabbage field is wet, and it has obviously been watered by someone. It is growing very well, and this year's harvest will be good.

After riding his bicycle home, Tang Zhitong first grabbed what he couldn't bear to put away and stuffed his bags and baggage from the space, like wild grapes and soft dates, when he got to the gate.

After thinking about it, Tang Zhitong picked up two more live pheasants from the space, tied them with ropes, and then called people: "Mom, Mom!"

"Hey, Eucalyptus is back? Have you eaten?" After Zhang Guifang heard the pheasant, she came out of the main room. When she saw her son, the pheasant disappeared from her eyes. She looked at her son up and down. Except for his messy hair, everything else Looks pretty good.

"Not yet. What do we have ready at home?" Tang Zhitong smiled at his mother, took the basket, stuffed the two restless pheasants inside and covered it up, then went into the house, unloaded the things from his body, and placed them on the eight-immortals table.

"What can we have ready-made at home, steamed buns and pickles?" Zhang Guifang said as she put food on the table for her son. It was too late to heat the rice, so she could only pour a glass of boiling water.

"That's not bad. Let's make do with two bites first and then have chicken in the evening." Tang Zhitong washed his hands, grabbed the steamed bun and started to gnaw.

"Did you bring these two pheasants back from your uncle?" Zhang Guifang knew pheasants. Nowadays, pheasants can be found everywhere. They are not a specialty of the Northeast Forest Farm, but they dodge very quickly and few people can catch them.

"Well, I specially exchanged it with others so that I could bring it back alive." Tang Zhitong casually spun lies to fool my mother.

"That's right, if you replace it with meat, you may not be able to keep it. Uncle and sister-in-law are fine, right?" Zhang Guifang nodded and asked about what Tang Zhitong had seen during his trip.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Tang Zhitong just put a mouthful of pickles into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed before answering.

"That's good. Did you cause any trouble to your uncle and sister-in-law this time?" Zhang Guifang pushed the water glass in front of her son and continued to ask.

"No, don't worry, everything is fine. Nian Bin has been admitted to high school, and my uncle will be a grandfather next year." Tang Zhitong took a drink of water from the water cup, rushed down, took the wotou, and quickly took the rice from the forest farm. I briefly introduced the situation to my mother.

"Well, I'm relieved then. You can eat first." After hearing this, Zhang Guifang didn't say anything more and stood up to do some housework.

"Mom, boil a pot of water. I'll kill these two pheasants after dinner." Tang Zhitong pointed to the two chickens under the basket and said.

"Okay." Zhang Guifang agreed without hesitation.

Anton was short of meat, and Sijiucheng was also short of meat. Zhang Guifang had heard of people hunting pheasants, but had never seen anyone raising them, so she naturally thought it was difficult to feed them.

Tang Zhitong knew that pheasants could be raised, and the difficulty of raising them was at least much lower than that of hares. However, pheasants only eat food and do not lay eggs, so it is not cost-effective to raise them.

After eating, it’s time to kill the chicken.

"These chicken feathers are so beautiful. Save them to make a shuttlecock for your sister." Zhang Guifang helped, carefully picking out the long and colorful feathers on the pheasant's buttocks and putting them aside.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong nodded and agreed, carefully peeling off the chicken gizzard and putting it aside.

Feather shuttlecock is a toy that many little girls dream of. Most of the current feather shuttlecocks are made from the feathers of domestic chickens, and their colors are not as colorful as those of pheasants.

If I help my sisters make two shuttlecocks made of pheasant feathers, let alone whether they are good or not, at least this one will be very embarrassing.

After cleaning up the two chickens, Tang Zhitong washed his hands, said hello to Zhang Guifang, and asked his mother to soak some hazelnut mushrooms. He planned to go back to his room to take a nap first. He had not had much rest in the past few days and was already very sleepy.

When Tang Zhitong woke up, the sun was setting. Xiao Wang was sitting at the desk reading quietly. There was a fruit plate on the table, filled with washed fruits. The sound of his sister hammering sandbags could be heard outside. .

Tang Zhitong felt at ease at the moment. If time stopped here, he would not have any regrets.

Maybe this is called quiet time.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Wang heard Tang Zhitong stretching, put a bookmark in the book, stood up, walked to the bed and sat down, with a smile as bright as a flower, and his eyes seemed to be filled with clear springs, which were so moist that they almost dripped with water. .

"Well, I'm awake." Tang Zhitong's body turned into a whip, and he put his head in front of classmate Xiao Wang, sniffed gently, and then the thoughts he had suppressed for more than ten days suddenly burst out.

"Okay, okay, it's broad daylight, wait, wait." Xiao Wang maintained restraint, pushed his lover away, raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and promised softly.

"Then I'll go stew the chicken and send a portion to our mother later." Having said that, Tang Zhitong didn't get up immediately, and had to allow time to calm down the eldest brother's dissatisfaction.

Tang Zhitong was familiar with making chicken, but this was his first time making pheasant at home.

The method is the same as for domestic chicken, just throw it into the pressure cooker and simmer it.

After it was done, Tang Zhitong filled half of it, then directly carried the pot and rode to Chunshu Hutong.

This means that the two families live not far apart, with a round trip of eight kilometers. If they are further away, the chicken will get cold.

Wang Jingmin was the happiest when he saw the chicken. Every bite was like a brother-in-law, and he called it a kiss. He also filed a complaint against his own sister, saying that she bullied him and asked his brother-in-law to avenge him.

Tang Zhitong responded with a haha, "This revenge must be avenged, and it will be avenged tonight."

Tang Zhitong didn't stay in Chunshu Hutong for long. He put down the stewed chicken, briefly talked about the situation with his mother-in-law, and hurried home.
