I was a daigou in the 60s

[Paying off debt is just the first step. I'm sure to make a name for myself in the business world and earn a spot on the rich list!]

Xiao Dongqing expressed his gratitude sincerely and then carefully selected the goods he needed.

I have some savings on hand, and I haven’t spent all the money I earned from selling seafood last time.

This time, he ordered a large amount of food at one go.

Brother Wang was delighted by Xiao Dongqing's praise.

In his joy, he gave an additional 100 kilograms of rice. Xiao Dongqing was so excited that he kept kicking his feet in bed.

Suddenly, the quilt was lifted. Xiao Dongqing opened his eyes and saw Su Zhilan standing by the bed.

"What kind of sweet dream is this guy having? He's so excited that his head is covered in sweat."

Xiao Dongqing only breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to her bed.

I vowed to myself not to get so excited again so as not to wake others.

Xiao Dongqing got up early in the morning. After a simple wash, he prepared to go to Aunt Zhang's house upstairs to borrow a bicycle.

It happened to be seen by Wu Cuihua who was holding a bowl of breakfast.

"Hey, what are you doing on the fifth floor of our house so early in the morning?"

Xiao Dongqing replied.

"Come and borrow Aunt Zhang's bicycle."

"Borrow a bicycle?" Wu Cuihua's eyes turned and her attitude immediately became extremely enthusiastic.

"Oh, so that's what you're talking about. Just come to me. I have a bicycle at home too!"

Xiao Dongqing looked at her in surprise.

"Aunt Wu, are you really willing to lend me your bicycle?"

He couldn't believe his ears, as he was usually the one who obeyed He Yuanfeng's orders.

Today he actually offered to lend him a bicycle?

Xiao Dongqing was puzzled, but Wu Cuihua really seemed like a different person.

Seeing that Xiao Dongqing didn't believe her, she quickly put down the dishes in her hands and ran home to get the car keys.

Then, Wu Cuihua took Xiao Dongqing to the carport.

They launched their own bicycles without hesitation, which was very generous.

"It's just a bicycle. We're neighbors, so how could I not lend it to you?"

"You, young man, may have misunderstood me before."

"I've always been generous. Everyone in our textile factory's residential area knows that I, Wu Cuihua, love to help others!"

Although Xiao Dongqing didn't understand why she had such a change, the bicycle in front of him was real.

He thought about it and decided to accept Wu Cuihua's kindness.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Wu. I'll borrow it right away."

The bicycle in Wu Cuihua's family looked quite new. It was a Phoenix brand, which was considered a high-end product at the time.

Xiao Dongqing happily took the handlebars and got on the bicycle steadily.

"Drive slowly!" Wu Cuihua smiled and watched Xiao Dongqing leave.

The neighbors were stunned for a moment.

"Cuihua, did the sun rise from the west today?"

"You actually lent your bicycle to Xiao Dongqing. Did you have a falling out with He Yuanfeng?"

The man could think of no other reason.

The smile on Wu Cuihua's face froze and she waved her hand.

"Go away, you're such a ruthless person. What's wrong with me lending my car to Xiao Dongqing?"

"I'm happy, can you take care of it?"

The woman was stunned by the scolding and left muttering.

"Humph! You haven't stolen anything for three days, why are you pretending to be a good person today!"

It was already early when Xiao Dongqing arrived at the department store.

But when he walked to the small cafeteria in the back to have breakfast.

I found myself being the last one to arrive among this group of newcomers.

He carried an enamel pot and went to the canteen window to queue up for food. The people around him were already busy.

They rushed to prepare breakfast for their respective masters.

Someone respectfully handed over a big hot meat bun.

Some brought fragrant tea eggs from home, and some even brought meat patties specially bought.

And Xiao Dongqing noticed that even Yan Xue, who usually looked carefree.

He also prepared a bowl of green pepper and shredded pork noodles for his master early in the morning and carefully poured vinegar on it.

Yan Xue looked up and saw Xiao Dongqing, and her face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

Xiao Dongqing frowned slightly and looked around, but could not see his master Zhang Fenglan.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Even if I didn't want to fall behind others, I didn't know where to start at the moment.

"Huh, now you know the job isn't that easy, right?"

"If the master knew that her apprentice didn't show any reaction at all, I'll see how you'll end up!"

A sarcastic voice sounded in my ears.

Xiao Dongqing turned around and saw that it was Huang Yaohui, the pretty boy who always had a stern face and was dressed neatly.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Comrade, who are you?"

Huang Yaohui thought Xiao Dongqing would appreciate it, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cold. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

"He's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know how to appreciate a good person!" He muttered and left angrily.

The food in the cafeteria was quite plentiful, and Xiao Dongqing served himself a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

I took two white flour buns because the food supply had not yet been transferred to the department store.

I explained the situation to the canteen manager and started recording the bill first.

Then I found a place to sit down and enjoy breakfast with satisfaction.

After breakfast, after washing the enamel pot, Yan Xue came over and invited Xiao Dongqing to go back to the counter together.

Her face flushed slightly and she looked a little embarrassed.

"I, I saw you invite Team Leader Zhang to dinner at the state-owned restaurant yesterday."

"I mentioned this to everyone, so today..."

Although Yan Xue didn't finish her words, Xiao Dongqing already understood what she meant.

It seems that everyone's behavior today is influenced by him.

Xiao Dongqing smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say, so he could only respond softly.

"Well, I see."

With a little awkwardness, the two walked towards the counter side by side.

At this time, colleagues from the non-staple food sales team have arrived one after another.

Xiao Dongqing walked to the attendance sheet and hung up his own wooden sign.

Just then, Master Zhang Fenglan walked into the store carrying a bag.

"Attention colleagues from the supplementary food group, please come over for a short meeting."

Zhang Fenglan put down her bag, clapped her hands and said.

Xiao Dongqing stood at the end of the team, watching Zhang Fenglan scan the audience and get straight to the point.

"Today is the 27th, the day for selecting the monthly outstanding employee. Please raise your hand if you are interested in participating."

The department store has a tradition that each sales group can recommend an outstanding colleague as the monthly role model every month.

In addition to receiving a certificate of merit, they will also receive an additional 10 kilograms of grain coupons and 1 kilogram of meat coupons as rewards.

Although the rewards don't seem much, the competition among the groups is very fierce for this honor and supplies.

On this day, Zhang Fenglan, the leader of the non-staple food sales team, just proposed it.

Three colleagues couldn't wait to raise their hands.

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of sparks of competition.

Zhang Fenglan glanced around.

"Are all three willing to participate? Then, as per custom, each of you should write a small note."

"Write down who you think is the model soldier of the month and give it to me before leaving get off work. Does anyone have any objections?"

"no disagreement."

This is the old rule of the supplementary food sales team, and everyone is used to it.
