Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

In fact, the supplies allocated by the logistics department in the past few years have always been insufficient, and even if we can eat our fill, there is not much fat.

Basically, I can only eat meat once every half a month.

In the past two years, natural disasters have caused a sharp decline in supplies. Not only has there been no oil or water for two months, even vegetables are almost unaffordable.

If this is the case in Beijing, there is no need to think about other places.

Cao Xing said, "Of course I understand, Chief, I've made up my mind, I'll go to Sangu."

Lu Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and began to advise: "Don't think that Sangu is an idle government office. They have to run outside every day, and sometimes they have to go out with guns. They can only rest after completing the monthly quota tasks."

Then he said, "You should go to a stock company. Although you have to go on business trips sometimes, it's generally not difficult to buy things."

Cao Xing said seriously: "Section Chief, I can tell you responsibly that I know very well that Sangu needs to run around in the suburbs, but you can look down on me, but you can't stop me from contributing my own strength to the workers of our factory!"

"Think about the workers who sweat profusely every day, working so hard and still not having enough to eat! I won't allow this to happen!"

"Okay! Comrade Xiao Cao, you have a very high level of awareness. In this case, I will personally take you to Sangu."

He then took Cao Xing to the Sangu office.

But there is only one middle-aged man here at the moment.

The man saw Lu Mingyuan pulling a young man over and immediately stood up and said, "Section Chief!"

Lu Mingyuan waved his hand and introduced Cao Xing, "Little Cao, there are four people in total including the three branches and the branch chief. This is the branch chief's bank, and the remaining three are Li Mei, Zhao Wen, and Sun Cheng."

Cao Xing stretched out his hand, shook hands with Qian Zhuang and said, "Chief Qian, my name is Cao Xing. I just came to report to the third section today. Please take care of me in the future."

When the bank saw the people brought by the section chief himself, how could they dare to put on airs? They immediately said, "Okay, okay. The other three have gone to the suburban village. I'll introduce them to you later."

Lu Mingyuan said, "Okay, Lao Qian, Xiao Cao is a college student assigned to the factory, and will be paid the salary of a 13th-level clerk when he enters the factory. You can tell Xiao Cao about the things that the three stocks need to pay attention to. You two will be colleagues from now on."

Lu Mingyuan's words were a double entendre, meaning that Xiao Cao had a backer, so he skipped the internship period and was graded as level 13. You have to take good care of him.

Those who can make it in the three stocks are all smart people, let alone the head of the bank, how could he not hear it?

"Okay, Chief!" Qianzhuang promised.

Then, seeing Lu Mingyuan walking away, he immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to Cao Xing.

"Xiao Cao, do you know how to smoke?"

Cao Xing took it and said, "Thank you, Chief."

Qian Zhuang smiled and said, "From now on, just call me Brother Qian. It doesn't matter if I'm a section chief or not."

Seeing that Qian Zhuang was indeed the kind of person who didn't put on airs, Cao Xing immediately called out, "Brother Qian."

"Xiao Cao, can I first tell you about the rules of our three groups?"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Qian."

Qianzhuang said very seriously: "The rules of our three branches are more important than anything else, that is..."

Then he chuckled: "That means there are no rules."

Cao Xing was stunned, wondering if he had heard wrongly: "No rules?"

Qianzhuang sighed and said, "Now the village has even sent all the piglets raised by the commune to the logistics department. Where can we get them from?"

Cao Xing was surprised and asked, "Where did they get it?"

"Them? We, the Sangutou, have traveled a hundred miles in the past month and only brought back some wild mushrooms. Now they are all desperate and no one knows where they are wandering."

Cao Xing smiled bitterly and said, "I see. It seems that it will be extremely difficult to complete the quota set by the factory."

"Don't be discouraged. We go to the Pigeon Market every night to buy some things. Maybe one day someone will be able to get a pig. In this way, we can complete our share and we don't have to hide out all day."

Cao Xing knew about the Pigeon Market. It used to be a market for selling pigeons, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people used pigeons to transmit information, so the country banned it.

Over time, it became a place for underground trading of goods.

Private transactions are not allowed nowadays, as that is speculation. Most of these places are for ordinary people to trade for their urgent needs, so the police station turns a blind eye.

Simply put, if the people do not report, the officials will not investigate.

This kind of place is called differently in different parts of the country. For example, the market in Xishi is called Mule and Horse Market, and some are called flea market.

There are many different names, all given by local people.

In the past few years, there was everything for sale, especially grain and meat. But now during the natural disasters, grain and meat have decreased dramatically, and any time they appear they will be sold out.

Cao Xing didn't expect that food was so tight now. Even the fixed food supply of the Logistics Department had problems.

Qianzhuang told him a lot.

For example, the shares of these people in the three groups are counted together, without any distinction between them, and they are extremely united with each other.

The money shop knew everything about him, including all the leaders in the factory, and he could tell them everything.

He was very talkative and Cao Xing listened with great interest.

The money shop gave him the impression of being easy-going and not very utilitarian, and he liked people like that.

Time soon came to the afternoon when get off work was over. Cao Xing said goodbye to the money shop, rode his bike to a restaurant, and returned to the courtyard with eight or nine dishes.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Bugui came to greet him.

"Xiao Cao, this car is really great!"

Yan Bugui hasn't bought a car yet. Of course, even if he does, it will be second-hand or third-hand.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle."

As he was about to push the bike in, Yan Bugui stopped him and said with a smile, "Xiao Cao, we will be neighbors in the same courtyard from now on. If your uncle needs help, you must lend him the bike."

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, saying, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't lend it to you, but since you've asked, I can't not give you face. So, let me lend you 50 cents each time from now on, and I won't charge you a cent more."

After saying this, he ignored Yan Bugui's ugly expression and immediately went into the backyard.

When he passed by the central courtyard, he felt that there was a pair of eyes in the Jia family staring at him, and he felt full of malice.

Needless to say, it must be the old hag Jia Zhang.

It's a pity that I wasn't in the yard these days, so she couldn't find me even if she wanted to cause trouble.

Stepping into the backyard, I saw Zhao He leading five people working enthusiastically.

A doorway had been smashed open between the two houses, so they didn't have to carry the garbage and construction waste back the same way. There was a back door at the back of the backyard, but it was usually locked.

Zhao He opened the back door. The garbage dump was not far away, which saved a lot of time and effort.

Seeing how hard they were working, Cao Xing handed them some dishes he had packed from the restaurant.

Zhao He didn't want to accept it, after all, he had agreed not to provide food.

But he couldn't resist Cao Xing, so he accepted it with many thanks.

This time, Cao Xinglai came to check on the progress and to give some benefits to the three families in the backyard.

After all, I'm chiseling the wall here, making big openings and closings, and everyone would have opinions.
