After buying furniture, the next step is to buy daily necessities, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea.
Hong Yanwu believes that among all things, the best thing to do is tobacco, wine, sugar and tea. You can do it slowly without being hasty and without getting angry. And there is no need to worry about things like washbasins and thermos bottles. I just hope that they won’t be collected too much after the wedding.
Many talents are good.
As for the bedding, that was a matter for the couple, and it would not be appropriate to overstep their authority. So Hong Yanwu just found a way to get some cloth and cotton coupons, and the task was completed.
The key is still in the big stuff.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu was determined to give the two teachers the "three turns and one ring" that was popular at the time. He even thought about giving them a TV.
But he also knew that if he really did this, he would not only show off, but also do bad things with good intentions, which would make all members of the Chang family feel uneasy and have the opposite effect.
In fact, the day after Deputy Director Chang and his wife returned to Beijing, they invited Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to their home.
At that time, the two old men simply regarded them as the benefactors of the Chang family, and were so grateful that they were almost in tears. They kept saying no words of thanks, and even claimed that the money they spent on their connections, transfers, weddings, and shopping were considered as money.
The Chang family insisted on returning everything they borrowed in the future.
Hong Yanwu knew in his heart that Chang Xianzhang's tutoring came from his parents, and the family were all people with extremely high moral integrity. So in order to make the two old men feel at ease, he had to temporarily agree.
In this case, you should pay attention to propriety when purchasing things. As the saying goes, "too much is not enough", and you must not let your temper run wild. What's more, as the old saying goes, "If you don't work hard, you will be exhausted and useless."
So he finally thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to give two people an electric fan.
This is because Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye already have watches and radios. In addition, Gu Lingye also owns a Xiaokun car bought by her parents, and the Chang family also has an old-fashioned "Yan" sewing machine.
Although these things are old, they are enough to cope with daily life, and there is really no need to buy new ones.
Secondly, the scorching sun is coming soon, so not only can the electric fan be used immediately, but the price is also right, only selling for fifty or sixty yuan.
Compared with bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios, it is really cheap. Giving gifts not only saves face, but also does not add too much psychological burden to the Chang family. It is really affordable and could not be more affordable.
But the only problem is that this thing is a fashionable product that was just launched last year.
Although in Hong Yanwu's opinion, the product is heavy in material, ugly in appearance, and has many faults. But it is much better than the cattail leaf fan after all. Contemporary people don't care about these and are flocking to this new type of home appliance.
This resulted in stores being generally out of stock. If there was no way out, you wouldn't be able to buy it even if you had industrial coupons.
One last thing, no matter the groom or the bride, it is best to get a pair of decent leather shoes under their feet.
Normally, you can just go to the store with industrial coupons and money to buy. But the only drawback was that there were very few styles to choose from at that time. The color of leather shoes was only black, and the styles were quite monotonous. Men's leather shoes were basically three-jointed, and women's leather shoes were basically three-jointed.
Most are flat bottomed.
The high heels like those worn by Fang Ting were undoubtedly obtained by Daguo Preserved through special channels. This is also the reason why Yang Weifan almost got into a fight with someone in Bincheng over a pair of shoes with a newer color and style.
So according to Hong Yanwu's idea, he could only ask "Big Preserved Fruit" to find a solution.
But unexpectedly, these two matters were resolved much more smoothly than Hong Yanwu imagined. Before he could speak to Song Guofu, on April 20, something good happened, and Yang Weifan unexpectedly contacted him.
This guy has been back to Beijing for a week in order to find out the whereabouts of the Feng family. Of course, he was unable to do it in the end, and there was no trace of the Feng family's whereabouts. But the leave he asked for will not last until May.
"One" after the holiday.
Hong Yanwu knew that this boy was wild and wanted to catch this boy's "strong young man". When he held a banquet with Chen Liquan, he was not polite at all and talked about the matter in front of him directly.
Yang Weifan was still so "situated". At that time, he said that in the capital, he had wider access than Bincheng and could get anything he wanted. Not only did he ask Hong Yanwu to make a list of everything he wanted to buy, but he also offered to
, you can help him exchange jobs with Chen Liquan in the "Navy Yard".
However, Hong Yanwu declined the last thing. He said that he was the most unruly in his life and it was awkward to deal with the strict soldiers every day. In addition, he was angry at the "academy faction". If he really went there, he would definitely not be able to control himself.
And the "Navy Courtyard" is in Liuliqiao, which is too far away from home, and the working hours are long. It would be better for him to be free now and spend more time with his parents.
Regarding Hong Yanwu's "alternative" choice, which "mud can't hold up the wall", Yang Weifan had no choice. After hearing this, he rolled his eyes and left it to him.
Needless to say, since we have Yang Weifan's help, the following things have become easier to handle.
This guy had connections in the Foreign Trade Bureau. After a phone call, within three days, not only Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye were happy to step on the "click-click" half-high heels. Hong Yanwu also bought an extra Taiwanese fan to honor his parents.
Hong Yanwu didn't even worry about tobacco, alcohol, sweets and tea. Yang Weifan drove a "Jeep" and took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to "No. 34" on Dong'anmen Street.
When he took out a small red book and asked the staff inside to scroll through it, he finally bought 20 kilograms of "foreign candies" that are rare on the market, six dozen "Beijing White Label" beer and two boxes of "Wuliangye" at a reasonable price.
.I also bought two pieces of "Zhonghua" cigarettes and two pieces of "San Wu" cigarettes that ordinary people have no chance to touch.
This couldn't help but shock Hong Yanwu completely. He had a high opinion of Yang Weifan's family background.
Because although Yang Weifan can live in a small western-style house in Bincheng, it is still local. Division-level officers are great big shots, and they probably all have that kind of treatment. And in this special place like the capital, he can still be so big.
The energy is extraordinary.
In fact, Hong Yanwu didn't know anything about the place "No. 34". He heard the "big shot" and Gao Ming talk about this place in his previous life.
The official name here should be called "Jingcheng Food Supply Station". Because it is located at No. 34 Dong'anmen Street, it is commonly known as "No. 34" to the outside world. It is never called by its full name.
Its predecessor is actually the Food Security Division, Division 5 of the Eighth Bureau of the former Ministry of Public Security. This was a specially established food supply station as early as the founding of our party in order to protect the personal safety and health of the great leader and his comrades.
.In the mouths of ordinary people, it is word of mouth as a "special needs" or "special supply" department.
In Hong Yanwu's impression, Gao Ming simply regarded this place as a holy place that needed to be worshiped. Because this is a place that only serves high-ranking cadres, families with military division level and cadre administration level 13 or below have no chance to come into contact with it.
Even "big shots" look quite proud when talking about the time when their families bought things at "No. 34".
According to him, since the 1960s, his family has been able to enjoy this kind of treatment, and they have sufficient meat, eggs and milk every month.
Especially in the early 1980s, his father was promoted to the deputy minister level, and his salary was even higher. On the basis of the past, in addition to being able to buy some "Jinhua Ham", "Guangwei BBQ" and the like every month
local specialty products, as well as two rations of "Chinese cigarettes" and two pounds of high-end chocolate candies.
His brothers and sisters all benefited from this, but the old man did not give it to everyone. Only the children with the best achievements in work and study could share some "preferential treatment" from the old man.
As for the characters who could be freely used by "No. 34" back then, they were basically benefits that only national-level or quasi-national-level families could enjoy.
It goes without saying that after such a comparison, although Yang Weifan's family identity has always been kept secret by him, Hong Yanwu can already conclude that this guy's father is definitely better than the father of the "big shot" based on this "big purchase" attitude.
Much tougher.
Moreover, Yang Weifan himself said that he has five older brothers and sisters, so if he can still be so unscrupulous, I am afraid that this kid is really a top-notch Yameni and has not run away!
