The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 104, Visiting a Department Store

The next day, the imperial capital, which had snowed, was completely white.

Although the temperature is relatively low, the weather is not bad, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, which is quite suitable for travel.

After getting up in the morning and washing up, Li Weiguo went straight to the small courtyard in Dongzhimen.

Yesterday when the pay was closed, he greeted Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun and asked them to come to the small courtyard to pick up their things, so he came early to prepare.

Not long after, Zheng Shan and the other two arrived.

"The things are all there, one bag per person, take them back to your family to improve their lives." Li Weiguo said, pointing to the two sacks on the table.

Hearing this, Zheng Shan and the other two glanced at the sack on the table. It was bulging and looked like it contained a lot of things.

He immediately said gratefully: "Captain, thank you. You are always troublesome to take care of us."

Yang Xiaojun next to him also had a grateful face, but he was a bit clumsy and not good at saying emotional words, so he could only keep them in his heart.

"Okay, don't be pretentious, just take your things and go back early." Li Weiguo waved his hand.

"Yes, Chief."

Zheng Shan obediently stepped forward and picked up one of the sacks.

This mention feels wrong.

It's too heavy, it must weigh forty or fifty kilograms.

So Zheng Shan quickly opened it and took a look inside.

"hiss"

This sight almost made Zheng Shan's eyes pop out.

At the top of the bag, there was a large bag of eggs. I reached in and lifted it, and estimated that it weighed ten kilograms.

Under the eggs is a bag of white flour, which weighs almost twenty kilograms. It is the best Fuqiang flour.

Scroll down further, and there are twenty kilograms of pork at the bottom, all of which are good-quality fat meat, with only a little bit of lean meat.

The white fat and fat almost made Zheng Shan dizzy.

"Commander, this."

Now Zheng Shan was a little embarrassed to take it. There were too many things. These things cost more than 20 yuan, and they also needed corresponding tickets. Four or five ordinary families may not be able to buy so much at one time.

Yang Xiaojun saw Zheng Shan's strange behavior and quickly opened the bag.

Come on, it’s better not to look at it, but after looking at it, I was embarrassed to take it, and I was totally confused.

"See, you two have never seen the world, and this is all you need to hold you down?"

"Don't worry, take it. I have friends in the supply and marketing cooperative. It's not difficult for me to get things that others can't easily get." Li Weiguo waved his hand to reassure them.

Zheng Shan saw Li Weiguo's unconcerned look. He also knew that his unit chief was a wealthy man and was usually very generous.

I thought that since I couldn't refuse, I would do something good to repay the favor in the future, so I said sheepishly: "Then we will take it?"

"Okay, grab your stuff and get out, let's see what you can do."

"Hey, hey, okay, get out of here. Xiaojun and I will go to your house to pay you New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year."

After delivering the things to Zheng Shan and the other two, Li Weiguo didn't stay here long, got on his bicycle and headed towards the department store.

It's the end of the year and it's almost time to buy yourself some New Year's goods. Otherwise, how can you use up the stacks of tickets that Hamster helped collect? Most of them are valid until the end of this year, and new tickets will be issued next year. So I still have to use it quickly.

Along the way, there were quite a few pedestrians on the street, who came out early to go shopping and buy New Year’s goods.

The shops on both sides of the street are also busy at this time. Those who come out to buy cloth, preserved fruits, non-staple food, and repair leather shoes. The whole street is very lively.

When he rode to Jiaodaokou East Street, Li Weiguo saw what seemed to be an acquaintance at the bus stop. Curious, he rode there.

Ride closer and take a look.

It was the little girl He Yuyu, and there seemed to be a female classmate beside her. The two of them were waiting for the bus at the bus stop.

The temperature in the morning was relatively low, almost minus 4 or 5 degrees Celsius. The two little girls were so cold that their faces turned red. They were rubbing their hands to breathe, stamping their feet, and frequently looking up to see if the bus had arrived.

Li Weiguo rode over and shouted, "Yu Yu, why did you run out so early?"

"Ah, brother Wei Guo, why are you here? What a coincidence."

When Yu Yu saw it was Li Weiguo, he immediately ran over excitedly.

"My classmate Yu Haitang and I are going to go shopping." After saying that, Yu Yu introduced Yu Haitang to Li Weiguo. The two are classmates and they met to go shopping today.

After listening to Yu Yu's introduction, Li Weiguo took a closer look at Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang is about the same age as Yuyu, fifteen or sixteen. She wears two braided braids and a floral cotton-padded jacket, wrapped like a rice dumpling. She has an invisible figure, but her facial features are quite regular, but she is a bit darker. .

She is about the same height as Yu Yu, 1.65 meters tall, and has average looks. I don’t know how she got the title of the beauty of the steel rolling mill in the original drama.

Li Weiguo smiled and nodded to Yu Haitang as a greeting.

Yu Haitang shyly imitated Yu Yu and called him "Brother Wei Guo".

Yu Yu was quite happy to meet an acquaintance on the street. He ran up to him, held Li Weiguo's arm with both hands, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wei Guo, hey hey hey, where are you going so early?"

The little girl asked, her eyes still looking at the bicycle under Li Weiguo.

When Li Weiguo saw her like this, he immediately burst into laughter. How could he not know what she wanted to do? He said, "I'm going to go to the department store and buy some New Year's goods. What do you think? Do you want to go?"

"Ah, let's go shopping in the department store, okay. I'm going, I'm going. Brother Wei Guo, please take us with you."

Yuyu nodded quickly and winked at Yu Haitang to indicate her agreement.

Yu Haitang didn't know what she wanted to do, but since she was going shopping, it didn't matter where she went, so she simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's get in the car." Li Weiguo shrugged.

"Okay. Hee hee."

With that said, Yu Yu skillfully got into Li Weiguo's arms and sat directly on the crossbar of the bicycle. At the same time, he also asked Yu Haitang to sit in the back seat.

After the two little girls were seated, Li Weiguo drove them straight to Wangfujing Department Store.

Braving the freezing cold wind all the way and shivering from the cold rain, she shrank directly into Li Weiguo's arms and hid in his arms to keep warm.

Feeling the body temperature of the little girl in his arms and the fragrance coming from his nose, Li Weiguo couldn't help but feel distracted.

Wangfujing is not far away, only about ten minutes away. The three of them soon arrived at the First Department Store of the Imperial Capital.

The department store at the end of the year was so crowded that you could see it from a long way away. There were long queues at all nine entrances and exits of the department store. There were thousands of people queuing at the door alone, and people kept coming after them. Row.

Nine long queues of people moved inside little by little, but not many people came out for a long time, which shows how crowded it is inside.

After parking the bicycle in the parking shed and locking it, Li Weiguo took two little girls to queue. After waiting in line for almost twenty minutes, the three of them squeezed through the door into the business hall on the first floor.
