I was a daigou in the 60s

At this time, Xiao Dongqing also raised his hand, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

Zhang Fenglan was a little surprised.

"Xiao Dongqing, what's the matter?"

Xiao Dongqing asked softly.

"Team Leader, do I also have the right to vote?"

Zhang Fenglan smiled.

"Of course you are a member of our grocery sales team, so why don't you have the right to vote?"

Xiao Dongqing smiled slightly. In fact, he didn't want to get involved in this fight.

As a newcomer, the last thing he wanted to do was offend any of his colleagues.

However, it was precisely because of this monthly model selection.

Xiao Dongqing went from being an unknown newcomer to the focus of everyone's attention.

Those colleagues who were running for election began to be particularly enthusiastic about him, wanting to get closer to him and hoping to get his support.

Not only Xiao Dongqing, other new colleagues also face the same dilemma.

At lunch time, Yan Xue, a new colleague in the knitting sales team, was holding her lunch bowl.

He found Xiao Dongqing with a worried look on his face, obviously wanting to seek advice.

"Comrade Xiao Dongqing, have you decided who to vote for?" Yan Xue asked cautiously.

For newcomers like them, it is easy to get into an embarrassing situation if they handle it improperly.

Xiao Dongqing ate his meal calmly.

"I haven't decided yet."

Since you are not a candidate, why rush to make a decision?

Yan Xue seemed even more anxious. She mentioned two colleagues from the knitting sales team and asked Xiao Dongqing for his opinion.

"Who do you think I should vote for?"

Xiao Dongqing waved his hands quickly.

"That's a difficult question to answer. You should make your own decision."

Yan Xue bit her lip.

"Who are you going to vote for then?"

Xiao Dongqing said frankly.

"Everyone is excellent. I really can't choose one. I'll just abstain from voting."

Between pleasing one person and offending two, he chose to give up voting.

give up?

Yan Xue was confused at first, then her eyes lit up.

"Comrade Xiao, you are so smart!"

There is no better way than choosing to give up, which not only avoids embarrassment but also does not offend anyone.

Although Xiao Dongqing felt sorry for her situation, he still reminded her.

"But it might also offend everyone."

Yan Xue's smile froze instantly.

No matter what Yan Xue's final decision was, Xiao Dongqing still did it in front of the three competitors in the supplementary food sales group.

He handed a blank note to his master Zhang Fenglan in a dignified manner.

Seeing the blank note, Zhang Fenglan was stunned.

She turned to look at her new apprentice.

Xiao Dongqing winked at her master with a flattering look.

Zhang Fenglan withdrew her gaze, put the note away, and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Team leader, who does Xiao Dongqing support?" the three competitors asked impatiently.

Zhang Fenglan responded coldly.

"He can vote for whoever he wants. Do you want to force others?"

The person asking the question was speechless.

With Zhang Fenglan standing in front, even if the three of them were eager to know who Xiao Dongqing voted for.

It was also impossible to get a definite answer from Zhang Fenglan.

Xiao Dongqing secretly felt lucky that inviting his master to dinner last night was not in vain.

"Thank you, Master!" he whispered to Zhang Fenglan.

Zhang Fenglan glanced at him.

"You're quite clever."

If it were someone else, they might choose one of these three, but end up offending the other two.

But her new apprentice showed a certain wisdom.

"Tomorrow morning the meat processing plant will deliver a batch of pork, although the quantity will not be large."

"It's only 500 pounds in total, but Master, I haven't forgotten you."

"If you want it, remember to ask your family to line up early!"

Zhang Fenglan lowered her voice and warned.

When Xiao Dongqing heard the word "pork", his eyes lit up.

"Thank you, master!"

In that era, it was so difficult to have a meal of meat, not only were meat tickets scarce.

And you have to rush to buy pork unless you are an employee of a meat processing plant.

Or you can be willing to spend money to eat at state-owned restaurants, otherwise you can only eat meat a few times a year.

After get off work, Xiao Dongqing returned the bicycle to Wu Cuihua.

And quietly told her that fresh pork would arrive at the department store tomorrow.

"I didn't forget about you. There's not much pork this time."

"I heard that your little one needs nutrition for an exam, so I told you this specifically."

"There are too many people and too little meat, you have to keep it a secret for me!"

After hearing this, Wu Cuihua's face was full of joy and her heart was warm.

This was the reward for borrowing the bicycle, if Xiao Dongqing hadn't revealed it in advance.

How could he get this good news so quickly?

"Don't worry, Dongqing. I'm very tight-lipped and will never say anything nonsense."

"I'll remember this favor, but I don't have enough meat coupons at home. I have to go back and find a way!"

After saying that, Wu Cuihua left in a hurry.

Xiao Dongqing looked at his back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He knew that this news would not only allow Wu Cuihua and her family to enjoy delicious food.

It will also win him some praise among his neighbors.

In this era of relative material scarcity, not many families could afford to eat fresh pork.

With just one sentence, I won Wu Cuihua's gratitude and solved the small issue of borrowing a car in the morning.

Xiao Dongqing returned home and told his family the news that there would be fresh pork in the department store tomorrow.

The whole family seemed very excited.

Daughter-in-law Su Zhilan made arrangements solemnly.

"After tomorrow's morning shift, go straight to the department store and line up and get ready."

"Pork is in limited supply, don't miss out."

Su Zhengan and his younger brother Su Wenlan nodded seriously.

Su Zhilan let the children play aside while she took out money and meat tickets from the house.

Count carefully and consider how much money is appropriate to give.

"Money is not the problem; the key is that there are not enough meat coupons."

Seeing his wife frown, Xiao Dongqing said while eating steamed buns.

"Wife, the weather is so hot, if we buy too much pork, it won't keep well. Let's just buy two or three pounds for ourselves."

"We don't have much food at home, but your aunt's family must need some, so I have to pay for it first."

Xiao Dongqing was speechless for a moment. It turned out that his wife was thinking of his aunt.

"Should we tell the other people in the family compound?"

"I've already notified Aunt Xuemei and the others. There's a total of 500 kilograms. We'll take whatever we can grab."

Su Zhengan clicked his tongue and said with some concern.

“So many people are competing with us…”

He was afraid that his family wouldn't be able to buy meat.

"Don't worry, if you don't buy meat tomorrow, just give me the money and I'll definitely bring you some meat tonight!"

Xiao Dongqing said confidently.

Xiao Dongqing had a good idea in his mind. After all, he worked in a department store, so this little thing was just a piece of cake for him.

After hearing this, Su Zhengan felt relieved and said with a smile.

"Fortunately, you, Dongqing, are in the department store. It's much more convenient for our family to buy things."

After finishing her dinner, Su Wenlan put down her bowl and chopsticks and hurried to report the news.

Not long after, she came back with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong, Wenlan? Isn't your aunt at home?"

Su Wenlan shook her head, obviously angry.
