1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Your mother is stupid, but my wife is smart." Nini's temper really followed Lu Hao's, tit for tat.

But I didn't turn my head around for a while, and I was a little confused.

Lu Hao looked at her, "Who is my mother?"

"It's grandma." Nini immediately realized, "Did I just say grandma was stupid?"

"That's right, isn't my mother your grandma? You said grandma is stupid, I will tell grandma when I get back, and let grandma open your ass." Lu Hao nodded.

But I didn't expect that the little girl was not afraid at all, but seemed to have found a backer, "Grandma won't hit me, grandma loves me the most, I am the first, mother is the second, and you are the last."

While speaking, Nini gestured with her little finger to emphasize Lu Hao's status.

Holding the bowl in both hands, trying to stretch out her little finger, she wanted to show it to Lu Hao.

Kind of funny.

Lu Hao was silent.

What Nini said is true, the granddaughter is the one who loves her the most, followed by Su Min, and he is the last one.

Back then, when he brought Su Min home for the first time, his mother even went to the ancestral grave to burn incense to thank her ancestors for allowing her to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law.

He is shameless, every time the family goes back, they are always scolded, if they quarrel with Su Min, his mother will definitely stand by Su Min's side, and even pick up a broom to whip him.

"Father, why are you silent? Are you missing grandma?" Nini looked at him.

Lu Hao nodded, "Yes."

"I miss grandma too, when shall we go back to see grandma? I still miss grandpa." Nini's eyes were red.

She knows who is good to her.

Every time I go back, my grandma will act like a magic trick, and will bring out a lot of delicious food, which are saved on weekdays and are reluctant to eat. I specially keep Nini when I go back, and then give it to my granddaughter like a treasure.

Although Nini is only 5 years old, she still remembers her grandma well.

"When Dad's work is done, let's go back together as a family." Lu Hao said, "I'm going back to my hometown."

Nini ran to play again.

The night was getting darker, and finally it was a bit cooler. When the family of three went upstairs, Nini's rice wine bowl was empty, and her pockets and bowls were full of snacks and toys.

Peanuts, broad beans, soybeans, melon seeds, and glass beads.

"Where did you get these things?" Lu Hao asked.

"I exchanged it with rice wine. They want to drink my rice wine. Humph, Auntie Chen gave me the rice wine. How can I give it to them for free? Of course I have to exchange something." She patted her left pocket , a bag full of melon seeds, "A spoonful of rice wine can exchange so many melon seeds."

Little profiteers.

A bag of melon seeds is much more expensive than a spoonful of rice wine.

And it is still a porcelain spoon, there is not much rice wine in one spoon.

Another three days passed in a flash, and Lin Jiacai called Lu Hao every day for these three days to report the statistics of soda sales.

In fact, no one counts every day. If it is too frequent, it will consume a lot of energy, and even a cow can't stand it.

But Lin Jiacai did this, which is enough to show that Lu Hao has weight in his eyes and is worth doing.

For three days, the sales of soft drinks were very stable, and they rose steadily.

17.8 bottles.

18.3 bottles.

19.1 bottles.

If this trend continues, it will be a matter of time before sales exceed 20 bottles, and the growth rate is also rising steadily.

"Grassroots supply and marketing cooperatives, especially restaurants, sales of soda are good and have been rising. Many people go to restaurants to eat. They used to ask for other sodas, but now they ask for Hongyuan soda because they can win the lottery." Lin Jiacai gave to Lu Hao Call and talk about the situation, "The situation in the city is not bad, but it is not as good as in the township. The main reason is that now the private economy has risen, and there are grocery stores, supermarkets, and restaurants everywhere. The advantages of the previous supply and marketing cooperatives are gone. , and a lot of customers were taken away.”

There are many rich people in the city, and there are many state-owned units. The rich and powerful can make the store bigger and attract more customers. In the township, the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative still occupies a certain position.

"It's pretty good to have such a sales volume." Lu Hao said, "Have you returned to the city yet? Let's have a meal together."

"Okay, no problem, I'll be there in the afternoon." Lin Jiacai readily agreed.

Still in Yujin Restaurant, Lu Hao came earlier, ordered the dishes, and wanted to order a bottle of Moutai, but there were no more.

Can't get in.

After a while, the door opened and Lin Jiacai walked in.

Lu Hao smiled when he saw him, "You seem to have traveled to Africa."

Lin Jiacai was tanned all over, and there were still many places on his face that had peeled off.

Lu Hao really didn't expect him to be so black.

"What is this? I used to work harder in the grassroots supply and marketing cooperatives. Some brothers' supply and marketing cooperatives were short of New Year's goods, and pork was in short supply. They didn't have enough pork, so they called us and asked us to help. Originally, we wanted to find some ordinary people. , pushing a wheelbarrow, with two pigs tied to each cart, and the two of them took turns to push. It was not difficult to push over a distance of more than 20 kilometers, and it could be reached in a few hours. But our director said that we should drive the pigs over, because the common people Pushing the wheelbarrow costs some money, so in order to save money, let us drive the pigs over by ourselves.” Lin Jiacai said, “At that time, I was young, newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and enthusiasm was easily mobilized, full of confidence. Six or seven of us set off with bamboo poles and military water bottles on our backs, but we still underestimated the hardships of the journey.”

"The mountain road is very difficult to walk, and there are more than 30 pigs in this batch, all of which were purchased from ordinary people's homes. If the ordinary people drive them by themselves, there may be no problem. They are all cooked. We drive them, and they are all inexperienced young pigs. Young, with six or seven people driving 30 pigs, I thought it would be easy, but in the end I thought the problem was too simple.”

"If you don't smoke it, it won't go away. If you stomp it here, sniff it there, smoke it, it will run around. It's already dark, hide behind bushes or stones, and lie down. You will be exhausted after looking for it. Sleep there."

"I originally expected to be able to go to the Brothers Supply and Marketing Cooperative when it was dark, but it was pitch black, and the moon did not even come up. In the end, I could only rest in the mountains, exhausted, and when it was dawn the next morning There are still seven or eight miles away from the Brothers Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and people can't walk anymore, tired, thirsty and hungry. After that, I greet a fellow passing by, and ask the fellow to go to the Brothers Supply and Marketing Cooperative to inform, and ask the other party to hire a wheelbarrow to come over Tie the pig over."

He sighed very much, "After this incident, I made up my mind that I must not be reluctant to spend money on things that can be solved with money, otherwise I will still have to use money to solve the problem in the end."

"People are tired, and money has to be spent."

He picked up the chopsticks, and without being polite, picked up a few pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth.

I haven't eaten much meat these days when I go to the township, and I run around.

Relieved a little bit, he looked at Lu Hao, "I heard that Jiangcheng Shopping Mall approached you and asked you to cancel the cooperation with the City Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"
