Chapter 299: An old acquaintance of the supply and marketing cooperative
"Mrs. Zhang, look at what you are saying.
It’s not like Dongxu is infertile. He is only in his twenties. What problems could there be with his health?
There's no need to drink tiger bone wine.
I tell you to stop messing around. Dongxu and his wife will get pregnant naturally when the time comes.
You see, Old Yan is already over 40 years old, but he is still strong and healthy. It has only been 6 years since the liberation of Peking, and they have only three children.
Banggeng is not even two years old yet, why should Dongxu be so anxious? "
When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai bringing him up as an example again, his old face suddenly darkened.
Although he is proud of his abilities,
But he didn't want to be talked about by the neighbors all the time, as he might end up being portrayed as a pervert.
But when Yan Bugui was about to speak,
When the neighbors in the courtyard saw Yi Zhonghai using Yan Bugui as an example, they all laughed and agreed with Yi Zhonghai and started to criticize Jia Zhang.
"That's right, Mrs. Zhang.
Look at Old Yan. His physique is far inferior to your Dongxu's. But he can still have two babies in three years and three in five years.
Look at your Qin Huairu, she has everything she wants and is a good fertile girl.
I will definitely be able to give birth to more children for your Jia family in the future.
Dongxu really doesn't need tiger bone wine. If this gets out, who knows how the neighbors in Nanluoguxiang will frame your Jia Dongxu!"
Seeing that not only Yi Zhonghai dragged him out as an example, but even the neighbors in the courtyard were talking nonsense,
Comparing myself, a half-old man in my teens, with Jia Dongxu, a young man,
Yan Bugui was immediately furious.
When he heard the neighbors say that the residents of Nanluoguxiang would make up a story about Jia Dongxu, he immediately had a bad idea.
But he didn't expect,
Jia Zhangshi at this time is different from the previous years.
Ever since Jia Dongxu became a full-time worker at the steel rolling mill and got married and had children, Jia Zhang straightened her back.
Li Hongying has lived in the courtyard for the past few years, but she feels suffocated.
Now that Li Hongying has moved out and heard what the neighbors said, Jia Zhang directly understood that these neighbors wanted to spread what had just happened outside the courtyard and let the neighbors in Nanluoguxiang make up stories about her son.
How could she tolerate such a thing? She immediately shouted loudly,
"I don't know who dares to do this. Only the people in our courtyard know about this. If anyone dares to spread it, I will block your door every day and make trouble."
Hearing what Jia Zhang said,
Yan Bugui knew that his wishful thinking would not work.
Although the news spread quickly in the alley, no one was obliged to keep it a secret. If he really did this, Jia Zhang would come to his house sooner or later.
Yan Bugui just wanted to shoot quietly and didn't want Jia Zhang to come and make trouble.
He Daqing saw that Jia Zhang was taking advantage of the situation and was about to cause trouble, so he immediately winked at He Yuzhu next to him.
The father and son slowly backed away, then groped their way to the front door and walked straight out of the courtyard.
"The pillars are set,
Don't worry about the neighbors in the courtyard. Let them make trouble if they want. Let's go and do our own thing."
He Yuzhu didn't really get involved in matters related to the Siheyuan, so when he heard He Daqing's arrangements, he naturally said nothing and turned around and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative in the alley.
As soon as he walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, He Yuzhu discovered that the manager of the cooperative was his old acquaintance Ma Guangsheng.
So I smiled and said hello,
"Hey, Brother Ma, have you been transferred from the state-owned store to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Ma Guangsheng, who was working on an abacus at the counter, looked up in confusion when he heard He Yuzhu's voice.
Then he laughed in surprise. "Wow! Zhuzi, when I heard the neighbors say you were back this afternoon, I didn't believe it.
I didn't expect you to come back!
What? You went to the street government to transfer your household registration, received your grain book and grain coupons and cloth coupons, and now you come to me to buy grain and cloth?"
"That's for sure.
Life is nothing but eating and drinking. Now that I have just returned, I have to make arrangements to bring back all these food, drinks, clothes and daily necessities!
Otherwise, the monthly ration my father and his family get wouldn’t be enough to eat.
Brother Ma, please buy me some cloth. I need to find a tailor to make two clothes.
Otherwise, if I keep wearing these two sets of uniforms, they will be worn out in a year or two at most. I plan to keep them as souvenirs!"
When I heard He Yuzhu say that he wanted to find a tailor to make clothes for me,
Ma Guangsheng immediately started to promote the product.
"Don't worry, why would we need to go out and look for a tailor? We have our own tailor in the supply and marketing cooperative.
I will ask Master Li to measure your size in a moment, and then see how many sets of clothes you want to make and what styles they are, and then buy the fabrics according to your requirements.
It is much more time-saving, trouble-free and labor-saving than taking the cloth to the tailor.
Then I will ask Master Li to speed up the process for you, and your clothes will be ready in one or two weeks at most."
Hearing that Ma Guangsheng took such good care of him, He Yuzhu naturally expressed his gratitude.
"Oh~, that's a good feeling!
I originally thought I would have to queue for a few days and wait for several weeks, but thank you very much, Brother Ma."
“What’s this!
When I was making fried noodles and bedding for the front line in 51, you never failed to deliver to me and delivered the goods to me on time every day.
Otherwise, when the cooperative expanded in the second half of 51, I would not have been able to transfer from the state-owned store to the supply and marketing cooperative.
If we wait until July this year to establish a unified supply and marketing system before transferring it,
I might as well be a little boy.”
Although Ma Guangsheng said so, He Yuzhu would not really take all the credit for himself. If that happened, it would not be a business flattery, but offending people.
Therefore, He Yuzhu was naturally very modest at this time.
"Look at what you said, Brother Ma. Since the higher-ups have transferred you from the state-owned store to the cooperative, it can only mean that you have the ability to do so.
Otherwise, why would they transfer you instead of others?
Right! "
Seeing He Yuzhu was so good at talking, Ma Guangsheng also laughed, and then began to urge him,
"Master Li, Master Li, come and measure the size of the pillar and calculate how much cloth is needed. Don't let the pillar suffer any loss."
"Thank you, Brother Ma."
"What's the big deal? We are all family. It's a small matter.
Master Li is here. Zhuzi, tell him what kind of clothes you want to make. Mao suits or work clothes, or a little of both?"
He Yuzhu had thought about it before he came, so he said without hesitation,
"Make me a decent woolen Zhongshan suit for formal occasions, and two work suits for work.
As for hats, gloves, scarves and the like, forget it.
I brought back several of these things from the army, enough for me to use for four or five years!"
