Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 53

"Secretary Wu, what a coincidence, I ran into you again."

Xu Meizi didn't sit immediately, but stood aside with a rice bowl, which seemed to be a coincidence.

Wu Jian was praised this time, and he was so beautiful in his heart. When he saw Xu Meizi, he smiled and said, "Comrade Xu Meizi, it's a coincidence, why don't you sit here for dinner together?"

Xu Meizi naturally sat down with joy.

Seeing Xu Meizi's shy smile, Wu Jian pursed his lips and smiled, and then looked at Xu Meizi's food exactly the same as his own. He naturally knew what the other person was thinking.

But it's still early, there is no need to settle down too early. If he develops well, there will be many good female workers in the mines, and there is no need to find a female apprentice with a rural household registration.

Seeing him smiling at herself, Xu Meizi was delighted. He remembered the publicity he saw on the bulletin board, with a little admiration on his face.

"Now the entire mine knows that there is a person like you in the trade union. But compared to those who have been here for a long time, few people in the mine know much better. That is to say, my uncle usually has a lot of dealings with workers. There are too many people."

When mentioning this, Wu Jian himself felt very proud.

Although Xu Nannan's house has not been taken down yet, he has made himself a face in front of the mining committee and the head of the mine, and even the workers in the entire mining area, which is almost the same as his previous expectations.

But on the face of it, he still pretended to be a little unhappy, "I am ashamed. I didn't want to get these honors and reputations. I just wanted to seek justice for the workers in the mines and work for them. It's a pity. People are light-spoken, and some are too stubborn and selfish. I say that it’s useless to talk about it. If the thing is not done, no matter how much praise is required, I can’t accept it.”

Xu Meizi said, "Who are you talking about, is someone making trouble?"

"It's hard to talk about making trouble. It's just one person occupying the small two. You told me that Comrade Xu Nannan was particularly stubborn and stubborn. I still don't believe it. This time, I learned it."

Xu Meizi heard something in the cloud, and seemed to hear something, "You mean, this matter is related to Xu Nannan? What is the relationship between her and Xiao Liangjian?"

"She occupies the small two rooms alone. What is the relationship? This is the first time I have met such a selfish person. There are so many people in the mine without a house. She lives in such a spacious house alone. Knowing how to let it out to those who need it in the mine, what do you mean by that."

Speaking of this, Wu Jian was somewhat indignant. I feel that there are people like Xu Nannan in the mine, and it's just a pot of rat **** that broke a pot of porridge.

No wonder even her parents can't tolerate her. If several sisters in his family were like her, they would have been driven out of the house a long time ago.

Xu Meizi couldn't see anything in her eyes now, even Wu Jian's gentle face, there was only one thing left in her head. Xu Nannan actually has a house, and it is still a small one!

Her uncle Xu Jiansheng had been working in the mine for so many years, and she was still a director, and she was in charge of so many workers, so she was divided into two small rooms. Now that she is a girl so old, she has to sleep with her brother in a room.

But she also knows that many female apprentices who work with her have to sleep in the same room with her married brother-in-law. At night, when her brother-in-law is doing errands, she pulls a curtain. The female apprentice has to pretend to be ignorant. It's not too embarrassing to live this day.

Therefore, Xu Meizi always felt that she was lucky, that she could sleep in the same bed with Xu Hong anyway, instead of having to sleep in the same bed with the old man.

But Xu Nannan slept in two small rooms by himself. She took Siya and a child, and the two sisters lived in such a house, so they could sleep in one room by themselves.

Xu Meizi finished the meal in a daze, and didn't hear what Wu Jian said clearly, so her head was filled with these things.

At work in the afternoon, because of her trance, she was scolded by the master a few times, which made her faceless.

Here, Xu Nannan didn't worry about it anymore. Anyway, the Mining Committee didn’t say anything, what else could others say?

Wu Jian seemed to want to talk to the head of the mine, and kept his eyes on the head of the mine. It is a pity that Mr. Gao did not come to work this afternoon. The other deputy mine managers were also absent.

He could only look at Xu Nannan angrily. I feel that sooner or later I can get rid of this socialist cancer. Drive her out of the great working class.

Xu Nannan also expressed that seeing Wu Jian is clear.

After getting off work, Xu Nannan was going to pick up Xu Xiaoman and go to the cafeteria for dinner. Although she has a house now, her food relationship is still in the mine, and she is still eating in the mine for the time being.

On the way, Wu Qing took the rice bowl and prepared to go to the cafeteria to have a meal. Seeing Xu Nannan, she immediately walked over, "Nannan, Jiang Lili, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know she would go and make trouble."

She was also timid like a valuable, with a sincere guilt on her face. Xu Nannan looked a little disgusted.

Not to blame for her blindness, but to blame the other party for being too deep in the play and acting as an honest person.

Xu Nannan said expressionlessly, "I'll just ask you one thing. When I took the exam last time, did you break the pen?"

She also recalled this time. She suspected Jiang Lili before, but now that she sees Wu Qing like this, she is more likely to find Wu Qing.

Jiang Lili's mind really couldn't do such a wise thing.

Wu Qing was stunned for a while, "I don't know what pen."

"If you don't know it, I won't live in the dormitory anymore, and we won't see each other anymore." Xu Nannan didn't bother to talk to her, anyway, it was boring. People won't admit it, what can you do?

Seeing Xu Nannan like this, Wu Qing red eyes, "Xu Nannan, why are you like this. I don’t remember the previous dormitory after moving out. I know you hate me, but this house is indeed a problem. You live alone." Such a big house..."

"What's in your way?" Xu Nannan said.

Wu Qing was taken aback, "What?"

"I said I live in a big house. Is it an obstacle to your eyes? It's an obstacle to your eyes. Wu Qing, I used to think you were very pitiful, and I also think that you and my sister Xiaoman have a temperament similar. Think about it, it really insulted my sister. At least my sister is kind in her heart and won't put a condom behind her back."

When Wu Qing listened, her face turned blue and her lips trembled with excitement.

Xu Nannan doesn't care about her, such a person is a rat in the ditch, and it's not visible. Dealing with such a person makes her feel nauseous. It's not like Jiang Lili's brainless bluffing.

Walking out of the mining area, Xiaoman was already doing his homework in the guard room, and the Guardsmen were also watching.

Seeing Xu Nannan, Wei Guobing asked, "I heard that you have set up a house outside?"

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "It was also someone else who temporarily lived for us."

"That's really good people. These years, how expensive the house is. You and Xiao Man are both blessed people." Look at a country girl who was married to a fool, and then she changed. They have become regular workers in the factory, but they still sit in the office, and now it’s even more impressive. The house has been settled. Wei Guobing secretly sighed Xu Nannan's good luck, and whispered to Xu Nannan, "Don't let your family know about this." He worried that Xu Nannan's parents, especially her mother, went to grab Nannan's for his nephew and niece. The house, Nan Nan will suffer by that time.

After all, he thinks that the child can't rob his parents.

Xu Nannan smiled, she probably couldn't hide this matter. With regard to the ambiguous relationship between Wu Jian and Xu Meizi, I am afraid that it will be sooner or later.

In fact, Xu Meizi had already ran home to look for Li Jing this time.

Xu Hong was at the door, Li Jing was staring at her homework, and when she saw Xu Meizi coming back, she said bitterly, "Oh, our big worker is back."

Li Jing was pinching vegetables on the side, with a straight face. Obviously there are some opinions on Xu Meizi.

Originally Xu Meizi was admitted to the apprenticeship, and the mine had 15 catties of grain and 20 yuan a month. I thought that with the money and food, my family would be less burdened.

As a result, Xu Meizi only started working, and the grain was put in the canteen of the mine.

Anyway, since the salary has not been paid, Li Jing didn't get the money, so she didn't worry about it. Xu Meizi didn't take the food stamps issued at this mine home at all. Seeing Tian'er went to eat in the cafeteria, he was unwilling to save a few food stamps and return it to her.

I didn't even think, if it weren't for Lao Xu in the mine, she could still go to the mine to take an exam?

Xu Meizi also knew that Li Jing had opinions on her these days. But now she has a job and can support herself, but she doesn't think how important her aunt's face is.

If it wasn't for something, she wouldn't look at Li Jing's face here.

"Auntie, I have something to tell you."

Li Jing lowered her head and pinched vegetables, without even looking at her.

Xu Meizi took a breath and said every word, "Auntie, Erya has a house outside, but it's still a small room. She and Xiaoman live."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing thought she was hearing a hallucination.

Xu Hong also covered her mouth and laughed, "You are dreaming, she is suffering, haha, where did the house come from." Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman squeezed into the small bed in the single dormitory, and she was not overjoyed.

Xu Meizi swallowed, "It's true, everyone in the mine knows, and because of this, she is opposed to her and asked her to teach the house. It's a serious little room."

Seeing Xu Meizi's seriousness, Li Jing also believed a little, "Is it true?"

"Auntie, if you don't believe me, go to the mining committee and ask. Everyone in the mining committee knows it."

Li Jing's eyes straightened suddenly.

The small two-bedroom, not the house issued by the mine, but his own small two-bedroom.

What does this mean? It means...that you can move your household registration to this house, that is, you will be a serious urbanite.

At this time, you can transfer your household registration as long as there is a place willing to accept it. Xu Jiansheng is a collective account in the mine, and this house is also a public property in the mine and cannot be used to transfer the account to his family.

But if it’s your own two-bedroom house, no, even if it’s a room, your household registration will have a place to stay. In the future, they will be able to receive food in an upright manner. Not only grains, but also rock sugar, sesame oil, these rare things with a small supply, we will have our own share in the future.

Xu Hong didn't expect this hukou, but after knowing that Xu Nannan turned over and had her own house, she felt very upset in her heart. Ye Erya, this dead girl, so lucky.

I was admitted as a worker, and I still have a house.

This is too evil.

Early the next morning, Li Jing thought about going to the mine to inquire about it. She directly approached the secretary of the mining committee. This matter is not a secret, and they didn't hide it, so she said directly if she knew anything.

Li Jing's whole heart has been hanging.

Two small rooms.

This is her daughter's house.

As for whether this house really belongs to Xu Nannan, Li Jing thinks this is not a problem. I feel as long as people live in, who owns this house. Is it possible that people can still be driven out?

She thought, and she started to wonder.

With Xu Ling's whistleblower, Xu Nannan naturally knew that the Xu family knew about his house.

"I think Sister Sanya is suffocating bad things, she must be uneasy. Mom is also holding back what's the idea." At the guard room, Xu Ling was eating lollipops while analyzing what she saw and heard. .

Xu Nannan touched her head, "Xiaoling did the right thing, but don't worry about this. Sister is not afraid of them. By the way, Xiaoling, I heard Xiaoman say they want to send you back to the countryside to study?"

When mentioning this matter, Xu Ling's little face wrinkled.

"I'm not going. I would rather not study than go to the country."

"They don't study for me, and I won't support them in the future."

When Xu Nannan saw her straightforward and confident, she felt that this was not like what a child said, and asked, "Where did you learn this?"

"That's what Sister Sanya said. When Dad asked her to work in the mine, she secretly told Brother Longlong that her dad wouldn't let her study, and she would not give her money and food to them in the future. Keep it so that Brother Longlong is usually smarter, don't always learn from Brother Leizi."

Does this count as a kind of learning?

Although Xiaoling's thoughts were not entirely wrong, Xu Nannan didn't want her to become a scheming girl under the influence of Xu Meizi in the future. After thinking about it, she felt that she was too naive and unintended, could it be as simple as Xiaoman?

This question is really inaccurate.

"It's okay, Xiaoling still has to go to school, and then let your parents and mothers provide for you, sister can do it." No matter what, I can help myself. Although this little sister is not a real sister, somehow she is regarded as a real sister. It's not as good as the feelings that I share with Xiaoman, there is always some feeling.

Xu Ling didn't believe Xu Nannan's guarantee. If my sister really had a way, Ye had been sent to the countryside. But she made up her mind and would never go back to the country. Otherwise the old lady would definitely eat her.

When she grows up, she will follow the example of Sister Sanya and earn money to support herself.

Xu Nannan thought that this time Li Jing would definitely be like the old lady, making a lot of noise, but after waiting for two days, no one came to make a fuss.

Transformed?

Xu Nannan didn't believe that Li Jing had changed his temperament, and remembered Xu Ling's words in his heart. This was holding back bad.

Before Li Jing came to make trouble, there was a problem in the mine.

Lack of food.

This thing has already begun, and since the New Year, the food coming to the mines has been getting less and less. After the beginning of the new year, several mine managers began to work **** this matter, entrusting relations everywhere to get food. After all, Nanjiang Iron Mine is the largest unit in the entire county. There are thousands of people. If there is a shortage of food, the workers in the entire iron mine will have to drink Northwest Wind. Even the family members of the workers have to go hungry.

I am worried that this matter will cause tension among the workers, so this matter is imperceptible. Food in the cafeteria is getting less and less day by day. From eating open as long as there are food stamps, to now there are food stamps and rations. The workers slowly began to feel a little sign.

Seeing that the food was not enough, the food was going to be distributed again at the end of the month, and Gao Mine grew anxiously white hair. Several mine managers discussed it and decided to use the power of the workers to raise grain.

Naturally, this kind of major event must be entrusted to the leadership of the Mining Committee. People like Xu Nannan who have just studied in the Mining Committee do not have this task. It is a pity that Comrade Xu Nannan is a member of the glorious purchasing department. This time, the Procurement Department has a heavy responsibility, and it still feels that it is not enough to use all the people who can use it. Thinking of Comrade Xu Nannan who was still studying in the Mining Committee, he immediately asked the Mining Committee to be transferred back.

Now that something like this has happened in the factory, no one cares about bringing newcomers. Seeing the important person in the procurement department, the mining committee directly sent a letter of transfer, where to go back, go to each house, and find each mother.

So Xu Nannan and his group had not been studying for a full month before they were transferred back to their respective departments.

Wu Jian was the happiest of all. After knowing that he was going to be transferred back, he felt that he could finally show off on his stage, and his joy was beyond words.

The comrades of the mining committee looked at this comrade's innocent appearance, and were not embarrassed to tell him that due to the lack of food these days, the union is busy.

The source of this was due to Wu Jian's generosity and selfless example before. Everyone has now turned to the union to solve it. What if there is not enough food at home? Seek a comrade from the trade union. People have said that we must be impartial and serve the workers.

It is thankful that it really shared a lot of pressure on the mining committee.

Xu Nannan didn't have this leisurely joke to watch Wu Jian, she just entered the purchasing department, and no one recognized it. Section Chief Xiao arranged a task for her, a thousand catties of grain.

Section Chief Xiao is an old man who is about to retire. Regardless of how old people are, they went to many places and roads when they were young. After becoming the head of the procurement department, it was like a fish in the water, and any procurement task could be successfully completed. Whoever can't buy something, find him, and you can always find it.

But this time Section Chief Xiao was also worried.

More than three thousand people have to feed. The Procurement Division bought some mechanical parts used in mines, some protective equipment used by workers, and at most bought some fish and meat for the cafeteria. When do you buy a lot of food like this?

To survive here for a while, at least one hundred thousand catties of grain will be needed.

Fortunately, the mining committee still had a bit of conscience and didn't give them the task of death. The entire Procurement Section divided 30,000 catties of grain equally. There were six people in the Procurement Section, each of whom had several thousand catties of grain. Only one thousand catties were allocated to Xu Nannan, and she was still taken care of by the newcomer.

"What can I exchange for food?"

Xu Nannan looked at his task list and asked in confusion. Can't empty the glove White Wolf.

"Cash, industrial tickets, food stamps, only those with requirements can be mentioned, but only the same, the task has to be completed." Section Chief Xiao glanced at everyone, "Now if there are requirements, please hurry up, don't look back and fail to complete the task, what excuses Can find out."

As soon as this was said, everyone began to make demands.

Xu Nannan sat on the side, lowered his head in a contemplative manner, and then entered his Taobao store.

After searching, there are real foods selling shelled grains, such as barley, beans, millet...anyway, coarse grains and fine grains can be found.

From the lowest price point of view, the slightly inferior ones are quite cheap, with a few cents per catty.

This task is not difficult.

Xu Nannan walked out of his Taobao shop with confidence and wondered how to operate it.

There is definitely no problem in purchasing food. But she can't use the money from her Taobao store to post it back.

Seeing a pile of industrial tickets on the table, Xu Nannan's eyes lit up and raised his hand, "Can I change all the food stamps into industrial tickets?"

Hearing her words, everyone looked at her and felt that her request was a bit unreliable. You are going to collect grain. It's useful not to take the grain ticket to get the industrial ticket?

Xu Nannan didn’t hide his personal secrets either. I didn’t make it clear at this time. When I turned back, I really completed the task. People have to blame her for not reminding everyone, “I lived in the countryside before, and the farmers have grain in their hands, and they are reluctant to eat. It must still be there now. Let’s go to collect grain and get anything else, it’s useless, we have to get some things they need. I’m thinking about replacing them with some rare industrial products, the effect should be better."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Section Chief Xiao.

They really can't tell about this. In fact, they want to see the situation in the black market, but the food in the black market seems to be quite expensive.

To be like this Comrade Xu Nannan said, it would be nice to find comrades farmers to harvest grain.

After all, Section Chief Xiao is a person who travels north and south, and he also thinks that this is also a good way. It is estimated that it is still somewhat difficult to collect grain. After all, comrade peasants don’t have enough food.

But in the end, he supported Xu Nannan's request, "you can get an industrial ticket."

Several other people also thought a little.

"I think Comrade Xu Nannan's approach is quite good. I also get more industrial votes." A young male officer raised his hand. This man is of medium stature, very honest, and seems to be well-known. As soon as he spoke, several other officers also said, "Then let's bring more industrial tickets."

"I'm afraid that the industrial ticket is not enough, so we have to change it to the mining committee." Section Chief Xiao touched his chin and stood up and said, "I'll change it quickly, and you guys will go home and clean up. This business trip is with a mission, everyone. Be cautious. Once you have found the grain, a telegram will come to the mine as soon as possible, and then the mine will arrange a cart to pull it."

He looked at Xu Nannan again, "Comrade Xu Nannan, you are a new person, I will arrange someone to take you." The new employee is still too young. Section Chief Xiao was a little worried.

Xu Nannan immediately said, "Report to the section chief, I am going to go to my hometown for a walk. It shouldn't be a problem. I don't need to delay the precious time of other comrades." I really want people to follow, how will she act then? Thank you for your kindness.

Section Chief Xiao nodded.

Women can hold up half the sky, so we don't need to drag oil bottles in the purchasing department.

As soon as Section Chief Xiao left, everyone was really busy.

Just now, the honest man also came over and said to Xu Nannan, "Comrade Xu Nannan, welcome you to join our procurement department. This time I was too busy, and everyone did not have time to give you a welcome party. When the work is over, we all will work together. a bit."

He said again, "Oh yes, my name is Xia Weimin."

Xu Nannan is still very cautious in dealing with new colleagues who are still unclear about the situation, with a polite smile on his face, "Thank you, and I will ask all comrades for more advice in the future."

Fortunately, Xia Weiming didn't say much. His home is near the mine, and he has to go back and pack his things quickly.

Xu Nannan lived far away, so he didn't go back to pack his things at all, but went to find Zhu Fang, and asked her to take care of Xiaoman during this period of time.
