Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 224 Minister of the People’s Armed Forces Department
"Okay, just do as you say."

"alright."

"can."

After Hong De's persuasion, everyone felt that what Hong De said made sense, and if it was true as Hong De said, Yang Shuning got angry and took back the quota, which would not be fun.

"Now I will assign everyone's tasks. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. Even if my sister-in-law and others don't replenish you, I, Mr. Hongde, will replenish it for you. Even if I borrow it, I will replenish it."

Then Hong Delao used his ability as the village party secretary to assign the task of moving graves to each household tomorrow.

Because the graves of their ancestors were not in the same place, when Yang Shuning and the four returned to Hong De Lao's house, everyone in the family had been driven back by Hong De Lao.

"Sister-in-law, I have arranged everything for tomorrow. Everyone will gather at my house at 8 o'clock, so don't worry."

As soon as he saw Mother Yang and the others coming back, Mr. Hong De started to ask for credit.

"Hunde, you have arranged everything well today, thank you very much. Then we will go to the guest house in the town to have a rest. We will come here tomorrow morning."

"By the way, these are 50 kilograms of national food stamps and [-] yuan. I don't have any meat stamps here. You go and help exchange for some food and vegetables. Please arrange for someone to cook for everyone tomorrow. We can't let everyone Work hungry.”

Yang's mother then asked Yang Shuning to take out the money and give it to Mr. Hong De.

"One hundred catties of grain and 50 yuan are too much, sister-in-law."

Except for the public funds and food provided by the village, when has Mr. Hongde ever been so wealthy?

"We have to let everyone eat and drink well. Only when everyone has strength can they help with the work."

Yang's mother seemed a little indifferent to this small amount of money. She alone can earn 127 yuan in salary every month, and she also has 6.3 industrial coupons every month. She has never been rich in income. stingy.

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law. I'll make arrangements later."

Hong De originally planned to let people bring their own dry food, but now that they have these money tickets, everyone has no choice but to contribute.

"Uncle Hong De, let's go back to town first. See you tomorrow."

After Yang Shuning finished speaking, he handed Mr. Hong De a packet of food for the front door.Then the four of them got into the jeep and drove to the guest house in the town under the guidance of Yang Shuming and Yang's mother.

"Xiao Ming, you should be more familiar with this place. After everyone has settled in the guest house, you can come to me to get cigarette tickets and money, and buy Shitiao Daqianmen or peonies. If there are cigarettes that don't require cigarette tickets, that would be the best. Of course, don’t be too bad at first, at least wear a filter.”

Men in this era, as long as they reach adulthood, will basically smoke. If they are well-off, they will smoke by the front door. If they are not well-off, they will grow some tobacco in front of and behind the house.Of course, the people of Zhijiang liked West Lake more at that time.

Every household in the city is also issued cigarette coupons every month. The amount issued varies depending on local policies, but basically each household receives 15 to 20 packs a month, which is enough for an adult man to smoke. If he is addicted to cigarettes, For the big ones, you can only figure it out on your own.

"Okay, second brother, I'll go in a minute. But you don't need to give me money or cigarette tickets. I know that Xihu Cigarettes and Liqun Cigarettes here don't require cigarette coupons. I'll just pay to buy a ten piece. Xihu Cigarettes A pack of cigarettes only costs 35 cents, and ten cigarettes cost [-] yuan, which I can afford."

After all, Yang Shuming has lived in Zhuji for many years, and he still knows some things. For example, West Lake cigarettes can be purchased in Zhuji without a ticket.Moreover, he had already gone to work and had money in his hands. Moreover, his father also provided a certain amount of funds for this return to his hometown. Although 35 yuan was a worker's salary, Yang Shuming could still afford it.Yang Shuning also calculated that he would buy ten cartons of cigarettes. There will be at least nearly 40 people coming to help tomorrow. Each person will be given four cartons in one pack, eight cartons in two days, and they also have to hand out one carton when chatting with others. You can't expect them to give. Yang Shuning smoke.

"Hello, comrade, there are four of us checking in. Here are our documents. We want four houses."

When he arrived at the guest house in the town, Yang Shuning came to the service desk and handed the IDs of the four people to the waiter.

"Hello, Chief. Our guest house received instructions from the superior department in the morning, saying that you will come and check in today. The room has been prepared for you, I will take you there."

After the clerk at the front desk finished speaking, he returned the ID to Yang Shuning and led Yang Shuning and the others to the prepared room.

"Chief, this is your room. Our guest house provides meals. If you need it, you can order directly from the restaurant or tell me. I will go back to duty first. If you have anything, you can come to me at the front desk."

The waiter led Yang Shuning and others to the room and helped them pack their luggage before turning and leaving.

Just like at the guest house of the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces, the four of them packed their luggage. After Yang Shuming settled it, they went out to buy cigarettes according to Yang Shuning's instructions.

But after a while, Yang Shuning heard a knock on the door.

"Hello, who are you?"

After Yang Shuning opened the door, he found that the person knocking on the door was not someone from the guest house, but probably someone from the town government.Because this person is not wearing the work clothes of the guest house, but a Chinese tunic suit.

"Hello, Chief. My surname is He, and I am the Minister of the People's Armed Forces Department of the town. I received a call from Political Commissar Wang this morning, saying that you are coming to check in."

Minister He did not salute at the beginning, because although he was the minister of the town's Armed Forces Department, he was not an active soldier, and he probably had never joined the army, otherwise he would not have failed to salute, but his attitude was very respectful.

"Hello, Minister He, thank you for taking the trouble to entertain me. Come in and sit down."

Yang Shuning had already thought that Political Commissar Wang Jianyi had called Minister He when he came over. Otherwise, why would the town guest house deliberately reserve a room? Minister He showed up not long after he checked in.

"Chief, I think it's almost time for dinner. How about we get ready and go to the restaurant in the guest house to have dinner?"

Minister He smiled warmly and invited Yang Shuning.

"Minister He, thank you for your kind invitation, but let's forget about having dinner together. My mother has been in the car for a long time and wants to rest early. I will also help convey your kindness to Political Commissar Wang. Thank you for your hospitality."

Not to mention Mother Yang, even Yang Shuning wanted to lie down in bed and rest for a while. He traveled from the capital to Shanghai and then transferred to Zhuji. Although he had a night's rest yesterday, he was busy moving tombs and worshiping ancestors today. What's more, the road condition from the county seat to Yangjia Village is really bad. It's basically a dirt road. Many sections of the road are still full of potholes, and the jeep is also very bumpy to drive.

"Okay, chief, have a good rest. If you need anything, ask the waiter to contact me."

After Minister He left, Yang Shuning also went back to his room to take a rest.
