Chapter 23 public funds

The town of Yaxian is really not big. There is only one intersection. The road is wide and narrow. The wide road is Jiefang Road. On both sides of the road are high and low houses, most of which are two or three stories, but there are also a few houses with four stories.

The supply and marketing cooperative is in a three-story house, which looks quite big, but the top floor is used for warehouses and offices, and it is actually only two floors.

Of course, even these two floors look larger than the base family courtyard, and they sell more types of things, such as wardrobes and beds.

These large items such as bicycle sewing machines and fans can be bought at the base supply and marketing cooperatives, but they are out of stock for a long time. If you want, you must register first. If you are lucky, you can wait for two or three months. If you are unlucky, it is possible to wait for half a year and a year. If you buy it, you have to come to the county.

Today is Sunday, there are quite a lot of people in the supply and marketing agency, but the counter is not crowded because everyone lined up in an orderly manner.

When entering, Lin Wei noticed that there were many young people in white navy uniforms in the queues at the counters. They not only queued up by themselves, but also maintained order when others cut in the queue.

Of course, there are also unreasonable ones, obviously jumping in the queue by himself, and thinking that others should not care about him.

Lin Wei and Zong Shao took their two children and looked along the counter one by one. When they got to the counter selling dried fruits and pastries, they saw a row behind the counter next to them.

It turned out that a middle-aged man saw an acquaintance when he was about to line up, so he plugged in, and someone behind him shouted dissatisfaction. When the young soldiers in the queue heard the sound, they went over to let someone line up, but the man was not only unwilling, but also arrogantly asked: “Who are you? I have nothing to do with you in the queue, can you control it? ?”

The young soldier looked serious: “I don’t care where you line up, but you can’t cut the line.”

The man still wanted to talk, but the man who cut him in the queue was a little scared and said in a low voice, “Why don’t you go to the back?”

Hearing this, the man became unhappy, raised his voice and asked, “Why am I going to the back? It’s not like we don’t know each other. What’s wrong with you asking me to line up? Or are you afraid of him?”

Pointing to the young soldier, “Isn’t that just a soldier? What’s so amazing, can you just bully people when you’re a soldier? Which army do you belong to? Believe it or not, I’ll write to the army to sue you for bullying the people?”

“Wait for me here with the child.” Zong Shao lowered his head and said to Lin Wei, pushed aside the crowd and walked over, holding the man’s wrist and pressing down.

During the process, Zong Shao’s expression did not change. It didn’t look like he had used a lot of strength, but the man had blue veins protruding. After being released, he immediately wrapped his left hand around his right wrist and rubbed it. He asked angrily, “Who are you?”

The young soldier also saw Zong Shao and quickly raised his hand to salute: “Deputy Battalion!”

Zong Shao returned a military salute, and then said to the man, “I am his leader, you can tell me anything.”

When he first heard the young soldier calling for the deputy battalion, the man was still a little apprehensive. Despite the fact that the deputy battalion in the family area seemed worthless, a brick that fell from the sky could hit a deputy battalion-level cadre, but looking at the entire base, That is one in a hundred.

Not to mention Zong Shao’s strength, others don’t know, he has a deep understanding.

It’s just that Zong Shao’s tone wasn’t very gentle, but it wasn’t severe, and he didn’t mean to help his subordinates, so the man stood up again: “You came just right, this man is still a soldier. If you dare to bully the people in front of everyone, do you have to take care of it as a leader?”

Hearing this man’s reversal of black and white, not only the young soldiers, but others couldn’t bear it anymore.

“It’s obvious that you jumped the queue first, and you still have the face to blame others!”

“What makes him bully the common people? He is clearly doing justice for those of us who were cut in line by you!”

“Yeah, the little girl doesn’t want you to jump in the queue. You’re still clinging to it, and you’re really thick-skinned!”

“Yes, comrade, don’t listen to his nonsense and punish a good man by mistake.”

After listening to their discussion, Zong Shao said: “Everyone, don’t worry, things will be as they are, and I will definitely not blame the good people.” Then he said to the young soldier, “Good job.”

The person who cut the line was originally said to be blue and white, but he was not happy when he heard Zong Shao’s words, and asked, “Hey, what do you mean? It’s a plan for a group of people to bully me, right?”

The group of people he mentioned did not include ordinary people who couldn’t see it, but those soldiers who also wore sailor uniforms. When there was a dispute here, they also gathered.

However, after Zong Shao came forward, the other soldiers did not speak up, nor did they follow ordinary people to accuse those who jumped in the queue.

Therefore, upon hearing this, there were many young soldiers with angry expressions on their faces, but Zong Shao’s expression remained calm, and he said, “I have already understood what happened. Now I will give you two choices. One, you go to line up normally, and two,” He turned his head and said to a soldier behind him, “Go to the police station to find a policeman and ask the police to mediate. What do you think?” The second half of the sentence was addressed to the middle-aged man who cut the queue.

When Zong Shao said that he was going to call the police, many of the onlookers were stunned, but some people responded quickly, yes, the police must not mediate disputes between the masses!

Although this matter is not at the level of calling the police, this person is so rambunctious, and the police should come and treat him!

Everyone started booing: “Call the police, call the police!”

The soldier behind Zong Shao immediately moved, and he was about to walk out through the crowd.

The man immediately panicked. Although the police and soldiers were both public officials, ordinary people would be even more afraid of the police, because the police had the impression that they were catching bad people.

Soldiers will of course catch bad guys, but if they are dispatched, they are basically gang-level, far from the life of ordinary people.

Although the Sanlin Base is nearby, soldiers often come to play together in the county during holidays, but they are disciplined, they don’t easily quarrel with ordinary people, and they are willing to help others, which makes people feel like they are easy to talk to.

In addition, the soldier who stopped the middle-aged people from jumping in the queue at the beginning looked serious, but his face was tender. At first glance, he looked like a stunned young man in his early twenties, who was easy to bully.

And when the middle-aged man was stopped, all the people on the first floor of the supply and marketing agency looked over, and so many people were staring at him. If he just admits it like this, he won’t have a good face. When he is impulsive, he will fight with others.

When I found out that this sly-headed green mouth was really not very neat, and I didn’t dare to beat him, I had enough confidence in my heart.

The same goes for Zong Shao. Although he doesn’t seem to be easy to mess with, he dares to be rude when he speaks softly.

In the end, who knew that this person would play cards unreasonably and call the police if they disagreed!

Seeing that the soldier who was about to call the police was about to leave the supply and marketing agency, the man finally gave up, and hurriedly walked out of the queue and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright, can I stop queuing?”

Someone spat: “What is the queue? You’re clearly cutting the queue!”

The man hurriedly changed his words: “Yes, cut the queue, cut the queue, can I not cut the queue?” After speaking, he wanted to slip out.

But he didn’t take two steps before Zong Shao grabbed the collar and slipped back: “Wait, did I let you go?”

The man scratched his neck and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to cut the queue?”

“You didn’t cut the line today, but what about tomorrow? What about next time?”

“What do you want?”

Zong Shao said with a blank face: “Of course, I’m asking the police to do ideological work for you. When you realize your mistake, you can leave.”

The man suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, and quickly knelt down: “I was wrong, I will never dare again, can you let me go?” The man said while clasping his hands together and bowing to Zong Shao.

Zong Shao stepped aside and asked the others, “Do you think it’s better to let him go now or wait for the police to come?”

The onlookers hesitated. Although this man was abhorrent when he was arrogant, it was really not a big deal. It seemed like it was a bit too much trouble to the extent of seeing the police.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly said, “Don’t call the police, please don’t call the police. If my unit finds out about this, it will definitely be recorded for me. I have a wife and children to support, so I can’t be recorded.”

After listening to what he said, although some people ridiculed him now that he knew he was afraid, why was he so arrogant before? But some people said, “If it doesn’t matter, after all, they have wives and children, and they are the ones who suffer when things get bigger.”

Zong Shao originally just wanted to teach this person a lesson. Hearing many people agree, he said, “Forget it this time. If you encounter me next time, I will drag you to the police station.”

“Yes.” The man nodded hurriedly. After a while, he didn’t hear Zong Shao speak again. He raised his head and asked with a smile, “Comrade, can I go now?”

Zong Shao hummed lightly, the man turned around and was about to go out, but he remembered the policeman before two steps, stopped and turned around and asked, “The policeman…”

Zong Shao glanced at him: “Want to see the police and don’t want to leave?”

“No, no, then I’m leaving!” As soon as the voice fell, the man left as if his **** was on fire.

Everyone laughed when they saw this, and some people praised Zong Shao for their good performance, and the two brothers also clapped their hands: “Dad is amazing!”

Hearing Mingming’s words, the young soldier who was the first to speak asked, “Deputy Battalion, is that your son?”

“Yeah.” Zong Shao responded, calling for the two children to go over and call someone.

Lin Wei also followed, and after the children finished shouting, he smiled and said, “Hello.”

“Hello, sister-in-law!”

Because of the episode just now, the soldiers in Zong Shao’s camp knew him, and they followed the leading young soldier and called Sister Lin Wei.

I have to say that with so many young soldiers calling their sister-in-law together, the scene was quite shocking.

Other customers in the supply and marketing cooperative cast goodwill glances one after another, as well as the enthusiastic auntie, who was very fond of Zong Shao because of what happened just now, and praised their good-looking family with a smile.

When the family got out of the crowd, the one who said they were going to the police station to find the police also came back, but Lin Wei looked behind him several times, but couldn’t see the police.

When Zong Shao chatted with someone, Lin Wei realized that he didn’t want to call the police at all, just to frighten the person, and the one who said to call the police didn’t go to the police station at all, just waiting at the corner of the supply and marketing agency!

Lin Wei suddenly realized, Zong Shao also finished chatting with the person, patted the other person on the shoulder and said, “You go shopping for yourselves, don’t worry about me.”

The other party glanced at Lin Wei, smiled and said, “Understood.” He left with the young soldier before.

Looking at the backs of the two, Lin Wei asked, “So this person is also your soldier?”

“Um.”

When she got a positive answer, Lin Wei understood it completely, she said why Zong Shao didn’t clearly say that he just wanted to scare people, how did the person who called him know what he was thinking, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

The two were talking, and the person in charge of the supply and marketing agency also came downstairs. First, he expressed his gratitude to Zong Shao, and by the way, praised Kua Linwei and the two children, and then disappeared.

Even if he was the person in charge of the state-run supply and marketing cooperative, he would not dare to say that he would give Lin Wei a discount.

But he was still mean and concerned about what Lin Wei and the others were going to buy.

Knowing that they were going to buy an electric fan, he immediately said, “The fan is upstairs.” He led the person to the second floor, and then asked the salesperson at the counter to show them all the electric fans on display.

Originally, he wanted to tell Lin Wei and the others about the brand function and price of electric fans in person, but before he could speak, Zong Shao said, “We can see for ourselves, and we won’t disturb your work.”

The person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative is a smart person. Hearing the words, he smiled and said, “Then you can take your time and find me on the third floor.”

Zong Shao thanked the person, and after the other person went upstairs, he continued to ask the salesperson about the price of the function.

In fact, the functions of electric fans are similar, nothing more than a few gears of wind, the wind is not big, can you swing your head and so on.

However, Lin Wei doesn’t plan to spend too much money on electric fans. The two selected brands are not well-known brands. They are cheap and have few functions. You can’t swing your head. There are two wind speeds. Give it a try.

This is the kind of treatment that the leaders bring here. These days, salespeople have no performance requirements, and their attitude towards customers depends on their mood. If you encounter someone who is hard to talk about, even if you buy a big item like a fan, you won’t give it a try if you don’t want to try it.

But now that she can try, of course Lin Wei will not be polite, and said with a smile, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

“You’re welcome.” The salesman smiled, walked to the place with the jack holding the electric fan, connected the plug, pressed a windshield and said, “This is the first gear, you can come and feel it.”

Lin Wei walked over, first bent down and put her face in front of the fan blade, and slowly backed away when she felt that the wind was strong.

After retreating to a position of more than one meter, it felt that there was still wind, and the wind was not too small, so the salesperson asked the salesperson to adjust the wind to the second gear. The second gear is more windy, that is, the fan blades are blowing loudly, which is a bit noisy.

So Lin Wei asked someone to try another one.

This machine has less wind and less noise, so Lin Wei had a hard time deciding.

When Zong Shao saw it, he asked the salesperson to take out the Watson brand fan inside and try it. Because the price difference between Watson’s fan and the two I tried just now is quite large, the salesperson asked one more question.

After a try, Watson’s is the best, with the highest wind speed and the lowest noise. The quality is obviously much better. It is too expensive to hold the special weight.

Lin Wei continued to struggle.

Zong Shao was very arrogant and said, “Just buy Watson?”

Lin Wei, who holds the financial power of the family, squinted at him: “Are you sure?”

Zong Shao touched his nose and said, “I’m just making suggestions, the money is in your hands, you can decide whether to buy it or not.”

Standing in front of the electric fan, he was eager to press the gear and heard the conversation between the two. He turned his head and said, “Mom, just buy this, this fan is the best!”

Lin Wei felt novel and asked, “How do you know this is the best? Where is it the best?”

Mingming couldn’t say anything, so he scratched his head and said, “When Auntie said this was good, didn’t you nod your mother too? And Dad also thinks it’s good.”

Rarity, who had been silent for a while, concluded, “Everyone says it’s the best.”

Originally, Lin Wei thought that Watson’s electric fans were the best, but she hesitated because she thought it was too expensive. As a result, the father and son had all said to buy Watson, so she took a step back, nodded and said, “Okay, just buy Watson. of.”

It’s just that even though the promise was happy, Lin Wei still felt a little heartache when she paid, more than one hundred yuan! Thinking about it, the other two are actually quite good. Although they have their own faults, they are cheap! You can buy a lot of things with the money you save.

Looking at Lin Wei’s sore expression, Zong Shao comforted and said, “Money always has to be spent, old ones don’t go, new ones don’t come.”

Lin Wei thought to herself that the more money the better, the difference between the old and the new. Looking at Zong Shao’s light-hearted appearance, she couldn’t help reminding: “There is still your private money in this.”

Zong Shao heard the words and calmly said, “It’s okay, I don’t feel bad.”

What is hidden in the hands is the private money, and what is handed over to the daughter-in-law is called public money.
