I was a daigou in the 60s

"Yes, my aunt said that since Dongqing has entered the department store."

"We should know how to respect our elders, she said..."

At this point, Su Wenlan seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

Su Zhilan frowned and asked.

"What exactly did my aunt say?"

Su Wenlan was so angry that her face turned red as she spoke to her mother.

"My aunt said grandpa and grandma wanted to eat meat, but we don't have enough meat coupons."

"She hopes we can give her some meat coupons, saying that grandpa and grandma will remember our kindness in the future."

Not only that, my aunt also said that my grandparents suffered a lot raising the twins.

As the eldest wife, they not only fail to take care of the elderly, but also cause them to worry. This is really wrong.

Although my father is no longer with us, as the mother of my daughter-in-law, I should also have some self-awareness.

My reputation is already not very good now, and if I am accused of being unfilial,

Then people will really point fingers at you behind your back!

Su Wenlan didn't dare say everything, for she was afraid that her family would get even angrier.

Su Zhilan's face turned very ugly.

"Don't worry, I have an idea."

"What can you do?"

"Do you think I have no solution? Have you forgotten where I work now?"

"It's in the department store."

"That's the Nantong No. 1 Department Store of the Municipal Head Office!"

"The municipal corporation has three department stores and nine supply and marketing cooperatives under its umbrella."

"There are fifty or sixty ordinary sales clerks alone."

"Which of these salespeople doesn't have some children at home who need to be taken care of?"

"What does what you said have to do with our family?"

"Of course it matters! Many saleswomen have to work outside the home."

"How can I bear it in the long run when I have to take care of the children at home?"

“The unit should take action on this issue.”

“The most direct way is to establish a nursery under the municipal headquarters.”

“Once the nursery is built, we can send the twins there as well.”

"That way, grandparents won't have to help take care of the children anymore."

"Let's see how my uncle and aunt can still boss us around!"

Xiao Dongqing finished speaking in one breath, and he felt that this plan was very feasible, and nodded with satisfaction.

"..."

"...You're just a small salesperson, and you think your boss will listen to you?"

Of course not.

Xiao Dongqing was blocked by this sentence, but he said it stubbornly.

"Everything depends on human effort, don't underestimate others!"

Su Zhengan originally thought that his brother-in-law had some clever plan, but it turned out to be all bluffing.

Su Zhengan said to Xiao Dongqing patiently.

"Dongqing, you're officially working now, so you should understand some things."

"Leaders don't like empty talkers. You should be more down-to-earth in your future work!"

Xiao Dongqing was silent.

That's right, he doesn't have the ability to convince city leaders to build a nursery right now.

But that doesn't mean it can't be done in the future.

He decided to tell Zheng'an his plan to reassure him.

How did you become a braggart?

Can't people have dreams? Why is Zheng'an trying so hard to discourage people?

Xiao Dongqing felt looked down upon, but this instead aroused his fighting spirit.

He must make this nursery a success!

Putting the nursery aside, a truckload of fresh pork was delivered to the department store early in the morning.

After the news spread, many people came early.

At the sight of pork, the people in line immediately became excited.

Xiao Dongqing had just arrived at the store and had not yet had time to park Wu Cuihua's bicycle.

He saw someone in the crowd waving to him enthusiastically.

That was Wu Cuihua, carrying a bamboo basket, surrounded by her neighbors from the textile factory dormitory area.

Last night Xiao Dongqing told them that there would be pork supply today.

"Holly! Holly!"

Wu Cuihua kept shouting and calling out, as if they were very close.

Yang Xueqin, who was standing in front of her, was not to be outdone and spoke loudly.

"Holly! Holly! You've gone to work. You've lost weight. My aunt is stewing meat tonight. Come over and have some!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Dongqing waved to them enthusiastically.

"Hello, aunties! Thank you, Aunt Xuemei, for your kindness. We will also be stewing meat tonight."

"Stop disturbing me, aunties, please line up first. I have to go to work!"

After saying that, Xiao Dongqing hurried to his post.

Wu Cuihua snorted triumphantly at Yang Xueqin.

"See? The bicycle Dongqing is riding today is my family's bicycle!"

Yang Xueqin was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"It's like there's no bicycle that hasn't been ridden by Xiao Dongqing!"

What are you so proud of!

People in the textile factory’s family compound all echoed this.

"Yes, yes!"

"Cuihua, you make it sound like Xiao Dongqing is only close to you."

"You know, we have a much closer relationship with him than you do!"

We have been looking for Xiao Dongqing to help us buy things!

Wu Cuihua, a person who changes with the wind, will be here for a few days.

Humph, we haven’t decided whether to accept her yet!

Wu Cuihua was obviously excluded by everyone.

"..."

The store has just received a new batch of pork, and it’s not just for outside customers.

Even the employees in the store were eagerly looking forward to it.

I was calculating in my mind how much meat I could buy with the meat coupons I had.

Xiao Dongqing was busy tidying up the counter.

At this time, his master Zhang Fenglan came over with a bamboo basket and a smile on her face.

She was a little surprised to see Xiao Dongqing.

"Why are you still standing here in a daze? Go get in line with Old Cai."

"Once the door opens, all the good parts of the meat will be snatched away."

"I still have a few pieces of lard left when I left. If you want it, you'll have to hurry."

Why is this kid so stupid? Doesn’t he see that everyone is queuing up to buy meat?

As store clerks, this is an invisible benefit: if there are any good products, they can buy them first.

Xiao Dongqing said indifferently.

"It's okay, my brother is already in line outside."

"Master, should we put the meat you bought in the shade in the backyard? It's so hot, we have to be careful that the meat will go bad."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his colleagues queuing up at the meat stall at the door to buy meat, but he had no worries about not having a way to buy meat.

And the line is too long. How long will he have to wait if he goes now?

Besides, the store would be opening soon, and he didn't want to join in the fun.

After he reminded her, Zhang Fenglan slapped her forehead suddenly.

"Look at my memory! Thanks for reminding me! Otherwise, the meat would have gone bad if left here in this weather!"

She hurried to the back door with the basket and finally arrived back before the store opened. She was sweating profusely when she came back.

Despite the hustle and bustle of customers rushing to buy pork in the morning.

The hall was noisy, but Xiao Dongqing still assisted his master in an orderly manner.

Not long after, Deputy Manager Mr. You came over hurriedly.

The salesperson at the candy counter in the grocery section is off this morning.

Xiao Dongqing is needed to cover the candy counter.

Xiao Dongqing agreed without thinking too much and started to go to the candy counter.
