Chapter 446. Wang Meilan who goes on a shopping spree
This is the same halal restaurant where Du Chunjiang treated guests last time.
But time is very tight today, so I have to keep things simple, stir-fry and stir-fry.
The five of them, Zhao Jun, first ordered twenty beef pies and five bowls of mutton soup. Later, when they were not enough, they ordered six more pies.
After eating and drinking, the five of them took a bus and arrived in front of Lingnan Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Wang Meilan raised her head and looked at the plaque of the supply and marketing cooperative, and then said to Zhao Jun beside her: "Son, you three brothers go and sell mallets. Your aunt and I will hang out here for a stroll."
Zhao Jun tilted his head slightly and whispered in Wang Meilan's ear: "Mom, look at the money and so on. We'll be out in a minute."
"It's okay." Wang Meilan raised her chin calmly and said, "You don't have to worry about Mom."
Today is Sunday. There are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Maybe most of them come to buy things during the break.
Seeing the crowds of people here, Zhao Jun stopped and said to Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, Jie Chen and I are going to find Brother Sun. You stay with them, don't worry about anything."
When Li Baoyu heard this, he instantly remembered the time when he and Zhao Jun went to sell leather and encountered robbers on the way home.
Thinking of this, Li Baoyu nodded and said: "Okay, brother, I'm going." After saying that, Li Baoyu turned around and left.
Zhao Jun and Xie Chen walked to Sun Haizhu's office with ease, while Li Baoyu came behind Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei.
At this time, the two mothers were looking around on tiptoe. Looking around, Wang Meilan patted Jin Xiaomei's arm twice and said excitedly: "We have a big New Year's fair there, and it's not so lively!"<
/p>
"It's not bad!" Jin Xiaomei also said excitedly: "I don't have enough eyesight. Sister-in-law, what should we buy first?"
At this time, there was a middle-aged woman about fifty years old with a knotted comb, holding a little boy about six or seven years old. She passed by them and heard the conversation between Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei. The middle-aged woman turned around slightly.
, looked them up and down, and thought to himself: "Where are these villagers from? How can they look like mountain cannons?"
Thinking of this, she bent down and said to the little boy: "Let's go, I will take you to buy a little naughty thing!"
Her words were also heard by Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei, so Jin Xiaomei said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, why don't we buy some candy first? The candy Zhao Jun bought last time was quite delicious."
"Yeah." When Wang Meilan heard this, she agreed with Jin Xiaomei's words. She and Jin Xiaomei are both mothers. No matter how good the conditions are, they are reluctant to drink Jianlibao, but they are still willing to eat two pieces of candy.
Moreover, they all felt that this little naughty thing was much more delicious than the 151-pound candy balls sold in their rural store.
Wang Meilan raised her hand and pointed at the woman who was taking the child, and motioned to Jin Xiaomei to follow her so that she could lead her to the place where she bought candy.
While the two were walking, Wang Meilan said to Jin Xiaomei: "I bought some candy, so I have to eat one first. I just drank the mutton soup, and now I'm still feeling sour in my mouth."
"No." Jin Xiaomei agreed: "The three children have to eat that. We have the money to eat pies. We can buy meat and bake it at home. We can bake several pots."
Hearing his mother's words, Li Baoyu, who was following behind, curled his lips. He thought to himself: "Why didn't you two say this when we were eating? One person ate five pies and asked the boss to add soup three times."
/p>
The woman who brought the grandson had an out-of-shape figure, with broad shoulders and a round waist. With her leading the way and squeezing through the crowd, Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei followed the two grandsons and came to the counter easily.
I saw the woman take out fifty cents from her pocket and shouted: "Weigh (yāo) half a pound of naughty little naughty boy for me!"
"Half a pound of naughty little naughty boy!" the salesperson shouted as he collected the money, and a staff member stood behind him to weigh the sugar on a scale.
The salesperson took out a five-cent steel coin from the money box and gave it to the woman. Then he looked up and saw Wang Meilan, and asked casually: "What do you want?"
"I..." Seeing this scene for the first time, Wang Meilan was quite nervous and stuttered slightly: "I... I also want to be naughty."
"How much do you want?" The salesperson's tone was very stiff and impatient, but this is normal and reasonable.
Because the supply and marketing cooperative has a huge flow of people, she has to receive countless customers a day. If she talks slowly to every customer, she won't be able to sell much goods that day.
When someone urged her, Wang Meilan calmed down. She raised her hand and slapped the salesperson, saying, "Fifty pounds!"
"How much?" This time it was the saleswoman's turn to be nervous. She looked at Wang Meilan and confirmed again: "The little naughty one costs nine cents a pound."
"Yeah." Wang Meilan leaned on the counter with one hand, reached into her pocket with the other hand and took out the money. She looked at the salesperson and said, "I know, just let them weigh me."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan counted out forty-five yuan and handed it to the salesperson.
At this time, everyone around looked at Wang Meilan in shock. The woman closest to Wang Meilan was the woman with her grandson. At this time, she was only looking at Wang Meilan and didn't even bother to take the butter paper package handed by the salesperson.<
/p>
"Hey, son, why are you here?" Suddenly, Jin Xiaomei saw Li Baoyu standing behind her, and said with a smile: "Just in time, you can get in the car and look at things later, and your aunt and I will buy them here."
The fifty kilograms of naughty things that Wang Meilan wants belong to their family.
After the new year, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu will get married. Before the new year, the two families had to meet their in-laws and treat guests, including tobacco, wine, sugar and tea.
Moreover, Wang Meilan said that it should be done in a big way. Jin Xiaomei also fully agreed with this.
At this time, I heard a few packing salesmen yelling at the counter. I heard someone say: "Just bring her a sack and peel it off as soon as it's done."
Outside the crowd, a woman carrying a half-pound naughty naughty thing in one hand and holding her grandson in the other stopped and looked at Wang Meilan from a distance.
Her little grandson held the little naughty thing in his mouth, grabbed his grandma, and said, "Milk, I want to drink from the can."
When the woman heard this, she looked away, touched her pocket, thought about it in her mind, and said, "Your dad and your mom will be back the day after tomorrow... OK!"

Grandfather and grandson held hands and walked to the place where drinks were sold. At this time, the crowd separated in front of the candy counter. Li Baoyu, hunched over and carrying a large sack, walked quickly outside the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei walked out of the crowd holding arms. Jin Xiaomei asked Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, what else should we buy?"
Wang Meilan looked around and saw the woman with her grandson. She tugged her arm and dragged Jin Xiaomei over. As she walked, she pointed forward and whispered: "Follow her, she can squeeze in."
"Ah?" Jin Xiaomei was startled and said hurriedly: "What are they buying? Let's follow."
"Who cares?" Wang Meilan said proudly: "Whatever she buys, we will buy it!"
The woman protected her grandson with both hands and squeezed to the counter. It was different from the last time Zhao Jun came. Last time, the counter only sold Jianlibao. But today, the counter also sold orange-flavored soda in glass bottles.
As the woman took out the money, she said to the salesperson: "Let me get a can."
When the money was not received, the salesperson did not call her colleagues for the goods, but said to the woman: "One dollar and thirty-five cents!"
"How much?" The woman's voice was loud and she exclaimed: "Last month, it was only one dollar and three dollars."
The salesperson tilted his head, put one hand on the counter, and knocked on the money box with the other, saying: "You said it yourself, that was last month, and now the price has increased."
"Oh my god, this is too dark." The woman muttered, pointing to the soda behind the counter and asking, "How much does that cost?"
"Two cents!" At this time, the salesperson was paid a dead salary and would not be upset because he sold more and sold less. He only said: "The bottle costs five cents. When you return the bottle, I will give you the money back." p>
"Here!" The woman paid another fifty cents and said loudly: "Two bottles!"
Her grandson quit, grabbed his breast-feeding hand, and said, "Miscellaneous, I want to drink from a can!"
"Grandson, let's drink this." The woman touched the child's little head and said, "Buy two and go back and drink with your sister-in-law."
The salesperson collected the money, changed the money, and shouted: "Soft drinks, two bottles."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Meilan and asked: "What do you want?"
"Cans!" This time Wang Meilan had experience. After saying what she wanted, she directly reported the number: "Two boxes."
Then, Wang Meilan pointed to the stacked soda boxes over there and said, "Bring me ten boxes of that one."
"How much?" The salesperson couldn't believe her ears for a moment, but the woman with her grandson looked at Wang Meilan and asked, "Where did you open the store? Are you here to purchase goods?"
……
While Wang Meilan was on a purchasing spree in Lingnan, six people, Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Zhou Chengguo, Liu Jinyong, and Hong Yuntao, were sitting in a shack in the Xinlang market in the west of Lingxi, talking about the murderous cannon egg.
When he heard from Zhao Youcai that he led a dog attack and failed to keep the wild boar, Zhou Chengguo subconsciously asked: "Why didn't my brother Zhao Jun come?"
Zhao Youcai heard this and replied: "I'm going to Lingnan to do some business."
"Ah." Zhou Chengguo nodded and said, "How about...let me, Brother Zhao Jun, try it tomorrow?"
Zhao Youcai's face darkened and he didn't speak. At this time, Liu Jinyong spoke, and he said: "Master Zhao, you have to go to work tomorrow Monday. I just heard Secretary Zhou say that your son is on holiday, why don't you let him
Come and take your place."
As soon as Liu Jinyong said these words, Zhao Youcai lowered his head slightly and his eyelids sank. Seeing this scene, Zhou Chengguo, Liu Jinyong and Hong Yuntao didn't think anything was wrong, but Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun, who were familiar with Zhao Youcai, knew that Zhao Youcai was angry, and Liu Jinyong had to be careful from now on.
Clicked.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the shack. Liu Jinyong said come in, and the door opened.
"Team Leader Liu!" The person who came in turned out to be Dou Baoguo. After this guy was fired from the forestry farm, he replaced Zhao Qingqing, who went home to arrange Niu Guoliang's funeral, and managed Zhao Qingqing's accounts.
"Dou..." Liu Jinyong didn't know what to call Dou Baoguo for a while, but he suddenly saw someone else behind Dou Baoguo.
This person is about thirty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, and carries a 16-gauge shotgun on his back.
"Team Leader Liu!" The former director of the production site had a very upright attitude at this time. Dou Baoguo called Team Leader Liu Liu Jinyong one by one, introduced the man next to him, and said: "This is Xue Liwei, from Lingnan.
, are here to help us hunt wild boars."
Liu Jinyong was worrying about the wild boar. When he heard Dou Baoguo's words, he got up hurriedly, walked to Xue Liwei, extended his hand to him and said: "Welcome!"
But at this time, the eyes of Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang fell on the gun Xue Liwei was carrying.
This gun is different from most 16-gauge barrel-mounted guns, but like the one Wang Qiang has at home now, it has a machine gun barrel.
Xue Liwei's gun seems to be better modified. It has a long sight, the gun is more than one and a half meters long, and the gun body is polished. It looks like it is very well maintained.
Zhao Youcai knew that when held in his hand, this kind of gun was light and felt very good. Every time the gun went off, there was almost no misfire.
Suddenly, Zhao Youcai glanced aside at Zhou Chengguo, and Zhou Chengguo happened to be looking at him too.
After the two looked at each other, Zhao Youcai turned to Xue Liwei. At this time, Xue Liwei was shaking hands with Hong Yuntao, but Zhao Youcai asked: "Who are you, Xue Baojun?"
As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Xue Liwei looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise and asked, "That's my third uncle."
Zhao Youcai nodded and said nothing.
Zhao Youcai was very calm, but Xue Liwei was no longer calm. He and Zhao Youcai had never met before, and he didn't want to just tell his name and have someone contact his third uncle.
But seeing Zhao Youcai and Zhou Chengguo sitting on the kang, and even the two leaders of the security team could only sit on the edge of the kang, Xue Liwei did not dare to neglect, took two steps forward, and cautiously asked Zhao Youcai: "This eldest brother,
Do you know my third uncle?"
Zhao Youcai glanced sideways at Xue Liwei and said calmly: "My name is Zhao Youcai, has your uncle told you?"
"Oops!" When Xue Liwei heard that Zhao Youcai signed up, he hurriedly bowed forward and nodded: "It's Uncle Zhao. This is the whole thing. I always hear my old uncle talking about you."
Zhao Youcai nodded, pointed to Zhou Chengguo next to him, and introduced to Xue Liwei: "This is Zhou Chengguo, your uncle must have said that too."
"Ah!" Xue Liwei heard this and rushed to Zhou Chengguo: "Uncle Zhou, you are my role model!"
"Ah?" Zhou Chengguo didn't expect that Xue Liwei would suddenly say such a sentence, and smiled: "What are you talking about?"
Xue Liwei took two more steps forward and said respectfully to Zhou Chengguo: "I heard my third uncle said that it was Uncle Zhou who killed that tiger twenty years ago with two shots!" p>
"Haha." Zhou Chengguo smiled slightly and said, "It's been so many years, why did Brother Xue say this?"
Zhou Chengguo, Zhao Youcai, Xue Baojun, and Han Shengli were the tiger fighting heroes of Yongan Forest Farm twenty years ago.
But after the tiger hunt, Xue Baojun and Han Shengli stole the tiger bones at night and were fired from the forest farm. Their whereabouts are unknown.
And this Xue Liwei is Xue Baojun’s nephew.
In front of Zhao Youcai and Zhou Chengguo, Xue Liwei did not hide it and said directly: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhou, I was asked to come by Zhao Qingqing. He said that his brother-in-law let a wild boar kill him and asked me to bring him a dog.
Brother-in-law takes revenge."
Speaking of this, Xue Liwei turned to Zhao Youcai and said: "Uncle Zhao, when I entered Lengchang just now, I saw those dogs outside. Are they all your dogs? Then since you and I, Uncle Zhou, are here, then I will leave.
