"Of course I'm free," Jiang Aihong said cheerfully: "Just now, your Aunt Li rushed to the district for a meeting. She, the chief director, was running around, and I, the deputy director, was responsible for looking after the house. I usually have a lot of trivial matters, but it's really nothing.
It's an urgent matter... If you need help if you need anything, just say it and don't be polite to Aunt Jiang."
Wang Debao smiled and said: "Eighteen neighbors helped me last night, and I have written down all their names. Could you please Aunt Jiang be my guide? I would like to buy some small gifts for everyone to express my feelings... Of course,
It's definitely not something expensive. It's too expensive and I can't afford to give it away. I plan to give a few eggs to each family and add two taels of fruit candies."
Jiang Aihong refused without thinking.
Recently, the price of non-staple food has increased. Eggs at supply and marketing cooperatives have risen to 12 cents each, and they require egg stamps, which are often out of stock. There are eggs in the vegetable market, and they don’t require egg stamps, but they cost 20 cents each.
As for fruit candies, the supply and marketing cooperatives have been out of stock recently, and they are sold in ghost markets for eight yuan a pound, with no counter-offering.
Wang Debao has no job now. Without a job, he has no income. Even if he doesn’t give fruit candies, he only gives two eggs to each family. Eighteen households, that’s thirty-six eggs... According to the price in the wet market, it’s seven yuan and sixty cents.
.
Don't underestimate the seven yuan and sixty cents. This is already half a month's living expenses for an ordinary family.
Jiang Aihong did the math in her mind and couldn't help but want to teach her... You don't have much money in the first place, so there is no need to spend this wasteful money. After all, the neighbors are not here to help you because of your eggs.
But when the words came to her lips, Jiang Aihong suddenly had other thoughts.
This kid Wang Debao is so smart and evil. How could he not know that this would cost a lot of money? But he still mentioned it... so he felt that it was necessary to spend this money?
Jiang Aihong looked at Wang Debao suspiciously: "What do you think? Just tell me."
Wang Debao immediately laughed: "Aunt Jiang, I don't have any idea. I just feel that I will live here for a long time and want to get closer to these kind and caring neighbors, so I should express my feelings as soon as possible."
Saying this, Jiang Aihong instantly understood Wang Debao's thoughts.
In fact, Wang Debao's idea is very simple. He just wants to gain a reputation, become friends with enthusiastic neighbors, and gain everyone's protection. No matter what emergencies happen in the future, he will not be isolated and helpless.
Like when Chen Feng brought someone to the door, if Wang Debao hadn't come out with a kitchen knife and tried his best, Xue Mei might have been strangled to death by Chen Feng on the spot.
Jiang Aihong felt that if she were Xue Mei and Wang Debao, she would have psychological shadow for the rest of her life.
It's so scary. Just stay at home and suddenly someone breaks in and strangles your loved ones to death in front of you... Anyone else would collapse.
Moreover, Wang Debao's family had trouble not just once, but twice in a row with Chen Feng and Hou Guifen.
Jiang Aihong sighed and did not stop her, because Wang Debao's decision was correct and the money was indeed necessary... Spending money is secondary, the most important thing is reciprocity! The important thing is to let everyone know that Wang Debao is a man who repays kindness.
Sensible child.
When someone comes to help you in a moment of crisis, if you express your feelings, isn't this establishing "correspondence"?
Unilateral payment is not a reciprocal payment. Otherwise, wouldn’t others owe you something? Do they have to help you?
People say that good wealth is hard to give away. There are really very few people like Wang Debao who see things clearly and do things straightforwardly at such a young age. Such children will definitely succeed in the future as long as they don't die young.
After figuring this out, Jiang Aihong immediately glanced at Wang Debao again.
Nowadays, everyone's life is not well-off. Seven yuan is enough for a family's living expenses for half a month. The thought of two eggs is already enough.
Moreover, the more difficult the situation, the more kindness can be expressed and gained. This money is definitely well spent!
"I will help you with the money first, and you will pay me back when you have money... Also, forget about the fruit candies, the supply and marketing cooperative has no stock, and the ghost market is too expensive. Your family will give you two eggs at 90%, and I will take you to get them."
Men'er."
"I have the money. If I run out of money, I will ask Aunt Jiang to borrow it. Don't worry, Aunt Jiang. You are my aunt, and I will definitely not be polite to you. If I am really in trouble, I will be the first to ask you for help."
Wang Debao said with a smile: "Forget it about fruit candies, but I'd better give you four eggs. Two are too few, so I can't give them away. After all, everyone can see my family's living standards. I'm afraid people will say I'm stingy."
"
Jiang Aihong couldn't laugh or cry immediately. She knew that Wang Debao's family had just opened up in the past two days, and every meal had meat and eggs, but that was to supplement nutrition for the brother and sister. Wang Yun's little body like bean sprouts, dark and dry, who could
Do you believe this is a ten-year-old girl? For such a long-term malnourished person, if she wants to replenish her body, it cannot be done in a day or two.
But others may not necessarily understand, and we cannot assume that everyone is an empathetic angel.
After all, the county is such a big place. Wang Debao buys meat and eggs every day. Half of the people in the county know that it is really hard to give two eggs now, because someone will definitely gossip... In this way, giving gifts
The meaning is greatly reduced.
After thinking about it clearly, Jiang Aihong was a little worried, but she soon made a decision - just four eggs, no more.
The first contact should not be too grand, otherwise the tone at the beginning will be too high and it will be difficult to pick up later.
When Wang Debao thought about it, he was right.
"Okay, listen to Aunt Jiang." Wang Debao said with a smile and obeyed.
Jiang Aihong didn't do ink, so she got on the car and took Wang Debao directly to the vegetable market. She found a familiar seller and ordered 72 relatively small eggs.
Wang Debao said hurriedly: "Aunt Jiang, Uncle Wang, the others, you and Aunt Li haven't been counted yet."
Jiang Aihong gave Wang Debao a strange look: "How could he accept it? If someone reports him, he will be in big trouble. Not to mention four eggs, not even one...I definitely can't accept it either.
I am your aunt, if I keep your eggs, what will I become?"
Wang Debao:……
move!
But immediately, Wang Debao thought of a way, but he didn't say it out loud. On the surface, of course, he still listened to Jiang Aihong. He borrowed a basket and followed Jiang Aihong, visiting all the eighteen family members one by one... Except for Mrs. Gu who was not at home, the others
All of them were sent out, and everyone responded very well. They were very enthusiastic about Wang Debao and praised Jiang Aihong.
On the way back, Jiang Aihong was very happy. This time, Wang Debao was able to establish a firm foothold near Yangan'er Hutong. When that bastard Chen Feng came out, she no longer had to worry about him causing trouble.
But right away, Jiang Aihong realized that although everyone was very enthusiastic about her in the past, they didn't want to be so... so enthusiastic today.
Well, that's right. She used to go door-to-door to carry out propaganda and send out tasks, asking everyone to contribute money and effort... That definitely didn't make people like her, it's just that people didn't want to offend her.
This time, it was purely a gift, to introduce Wang Debao to establish contact with them and establish a relationship... It is such a good thing that everyone is sincerely happy and enthusiastic.
Therefore, she fulfilled herself by taking this trip, because she got the greatest benefit.
Even if community residents are now asked to elect a new neighborhood committee director, Jiang Aihong's vote count will definitely be higher than that of Li Xianglan near Yangan'er Hutong.
After figuring this out, Jiang Aihong couldn't help but look at Wang Debao... Could this be part of this evildoer's plan?
However, she didn't see anything strange in Wang Debao's expression.
"Aunt Jiang, come to the police station for lunch at noon," Wang Debao said, "I plan to go to Uncle Wang and the others, collect a dime from each person, and then add some myself, and cook a meal for everyone at the police station."
"You...well, very good."
Jiang Aihong was stunned. She never expected that Wang Debao could come up with this idea. He was prepared to add a lot of money. However, it is estimated that it would be difficult for Wang Jianguo to refuse this request because everyone contributed money.
, not counting accepting bribes, but also eating in the police station, so what can others say? Anyway, Wang Debao will definitely not tell outsiders how much money he added.
Now Jiang Aihong can suddenly understand Wang Jianguo's anxiety... This child is really too smart, I'm really afraid that he will go astray!
If Wang Debao goes astray, the harm...Jiang Aihong shuddered, she couldn't even imagine it!
