National Beer

"Xia Yu?"

Qin Dong stood up from the sofa. Du Xiaoju pulled up the light cord early and turned on the lights in the courtyard. Xia Yu carried a net bag with a few bottles of canned food in it and a cardboard box on his shoulder. It was a box of instant noodles. Put things on the ground, and in a blink of an eye he took out a few boxes of snacks from behind.

"Well, you have bought too much stuff and can't keep it at home?" Qin Dong smiled, "Or did you give me a gift?"

Gifts given by Chinese people have a long history. In the 1960s and 1970s, peach crisps wrapped in paper wrapped with twine were all excellent. In the 1980s, food became abundant and there were more types of non-staple foods, such as canned food, instant noodles, tobacco and alcohol. All can be obtained.

"I just came to have a look." With the light of the electric light, Xia Yu looked at this neatly cleaned small courtyard, with red tiles, green trees and white walls, and all kinds of flowers and plants under the windowsill. The flower planter was obviously... he looked at Du Xiaoju.

"Sit down, didn't you eat?" Qin Dong put his things outside the door and let Xia Yu's people into the house. "A few bottles of beer with me."

Xia Yu looked at the house, color TV, washing machine, refrigerator, the three big pieces are all available, modular furniture and sofa, everything is new.

People who buy beer and go to Qin Dong's famous factory all know that he is still running a restaurant on Murder Street. Obviously, Qin Dong is the person who gets rich first as often said in newspapers and TV.

"President Qin, I have eaten," Xia Yu smiled and sat on the sofa, "I just came here to show my heart..."

boom--

Du Xiaoju was startled and hurried over from the kitchen. Xia Yu looked at Qin Dong. Qin Dong put the beer bottle heavily on the coffee table, and the white beer foam flowed down the bottle mouth.

"Don't give me some boring fart! Why do you still need you to come and see me?..."

"Ms. Qin, a little heart is not a respect..." Xia Yu looked at Du Xiaoju, who looked sorry, and tried to explain with her neck.

"Fuck off." Qin Dong pointed to the courtyard outside. Xia Yu smiled and stood up and wanted to say something, "Take your things, if you don't take them, I will throw them out for you..."

Xia Yu was very embarrassed, and Qin Dong didn't say a word, "Why, I still want to eat here? Next time you come back empty-handed, let's go..."

The longer he stayed at Rongpi, he seemed to be more and more influenced by Wu Geng. As his position got bigger and bigger, his domineering seemed to be getting more and more full. He was no longer the Qin Dong who played volleyball with Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was holding things in a weird way, and amidst Du Xiaoju's apologetic voice, we went out in a weird way...

Du Xiaoju returned to the house. Qin Dong watched the TV while drinking beer. She complained softly, "People are also very kind, you say vulgar words, it's been a long time since I heard you say vulgar words..."

...

The street lights in the hutong were very dim, Xia Yu looked at the small courtyard behind, and whistled...

"Hey--"

The whistle stopped suddenly, and a person in front of him walked over with a large cardboard box as high as half a person on his back. Next to him was a woman. The two were going from house to house asking where Qin Dong lived.

"Just in the alley in front, there are two toon trees in front of the door." Xia Yu smiled and turned back and pointed to the front.

"Thank you." The visitor raised his head and glanced at him, then glanced at the thing in his hand, "Hey..."

Both were stunned at the same time, "Why do I look familiar to you?" Xia Yu looked at the woman again. He didn't know the woman.

"You're Xia... Section Chief of the main factory?" The visitor panted heavily, showing that the things on his back were too heavy.

"You, Liu Hongbing." Xia Yu finally remembered that he and Luo Ling and Lu Xuguang had been to the second branch more than once, and the factory leaders of the second branch and these workshop directors had also been to the general gang, and he was familiar with them.

Flutter--

Xia Yu suddenly laughed, and Liu Hongbing laughed inexplicably, "Do you want to go to President Qin's house too?" Xia Yu patted the instant noodles on his shoulder, "Take me out. If you don't come out, let the dog bit me."

"Oh." When Liu Hongbing looked at his wife, he was discouraged. He turned and put down the things in his hands. In the cool early autumn, he was soaked with sweat.It was his wife's idea to express gratitude to Qin Dong's house, and he also had to come.

"Then we..."

"Why don't you try and scold me like a bloody spout," Xia Yu could catch someone and tell that he was depressed, "I don't need anything at home. Don't you know that General Qin has contracted to sell beer in the factory? The restaurant? There is a patent fee every year?..."

"That's right," Liu Hongbing was relieved immediately, "People don't like these things. Forget it, let's go back."

Liu Hongbing's wife was also a little discouraged, "What did you buy?" Xia Yu glanced at the big cardboard box.

"Soap, salt, wool, toilet paper..." Liu Hongbing said helplessly, "Aren't they all in short supply now? You can't grab them."

Flutter--

Xia Yu laughed again, and finally let out the anger that Qin Dong had given him. Liu Hongbing's things were too heavy, so how could he carry it back?

...

This year's "price breakthrough" first started in Shanghai, quickly spread across the country, and then evolved into a frenzied buying style.

Starting with the three major items of refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines, salt, soap, wool, and toilet paper, everyone basically buys what they see, and they are afraid that they will not buy today and the price will increase tomorrow.

Eleven is coming soon, and the weather has changed from warm to cold.

When Du Xiaoju woke up in the morning, he felt a little hot on his body. He lost his appetite after drinking a bowl of porridge.

"Juer, ask for leave from the factory today, anyway, there is a phone at home." Mother Xiaoju put her hand on her daughter's forehead with concern, and Du Xiaoju's forehead was hot.

"No, mom, now the prices of non-staple foods are rising, they are all panic buying, and the factory is working overtime. Besides, it's almost eleven, and I can't ask for leave." Du Xiaoju insisted on standing up.

Du Xiaoshu's eyes turned and he had already ran to the old Qin's house. Soon, Qin Dong ran over.

"I'll take a leave from your factory manager. People who are sick can take a good rest at home." He and the factory manager of the biscuit factory are very familiar. He usually picks up Du Xiaoju and even has meetings in the district. The director of Qin Dong also gave Qin Dong a lot of face.

But he couldn't hold back Du Xiaoju. Du Xiaoju had to go. Qin Dong could only send him off and get into the jeep. He once again persuaded, "You don't want your body anymore, people can't compete too much..."

Du Xiaoju leaned weakly on the car seat, biting her lip before saying, "You are a model worker, and I want to follow you..."

In line?Qin Dong was speechless, and this model worker was not like that!

...

Jeep drove slowly on the streets of Qinwan. There were long lines everywhere in front of department stores and shops. There were women, elderly people and even children in line.

In front of a store dealing in hardware and local products, the refrigerator was transported from the manufacturer to the store in a truck. Before putting it on the counter, people flocked to the truck, rushing to move it down by themselves, as if they were given away for nothing.

After unloading the refrigerator from the car, open the outer packaging to test the quality of the refrigerator, if there is no problem, then go to the store to pay the money, and then go directly.

Seeing a few middle-aged and young men carrying unpacked refrigerators on their backs, all smiled and satisfied, Qin Dong shook his head.

Oh, in front of the Friendship Store, a few years ago, it was a place that people dared not pay attention to. Now, people can no longer wait in line to buy gold jewelry with huge renminbi.

After a "fight", a female compatriot finally bought a 24K gold ring. She raised her head and laughed, like crazy...

...

Prices went through the barriers, the people were also through the barriers, Du Xiaoju was also through the barriers, but in the afternoon, I went to the factory's medical room to measure the temperature, 39 degrees and 5 degrees, Qin Dong directly drove her back home in a jeep.

Like most cities across the country, the shops in Qinwan close at half past four, and at six o’clock at the latest. Now the door of the store is closed, but the crowd is still queuing.

"Dadong, fortunately your factory distributed so many toilet paper, soap, and salt last year," Du Xiaoju's face was red, "Well, Xiaoshu, I bought four more video cameras yesterday..."

Ok?

Even the common people are rushing to buy video cameras!Du Xiaoshu and Zhong Xiaoyong took Zhong Jiawa's gang of bastards and grabbed four of them.

"His video room can hold five video cameras? Besides, where does his money come from?"

"My mother gave it to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it in the future," Du Xiaoju said weakly, "Well, my dad is also afraid that I won't be able to buy it in the future..." The two couples are so generous. This is truly unprecedented, and Qin Dong couldn't help laughing.

"Xiaoshu wants to make a new house..." Du Xiaoju turned to look at Qin Dong feebly, "change it into a video room."

The small courtyard they just bought now, the new home that his sister has carefully cleaned up, turned it into a video room?Qin Dong frowned, "What did you say?"

"I'll let him go." Du Xiaoju smiled weakly.

"Are you talking foul language?" Qin Dong also smiled. He held Du Xiaoju's hand smoothly. The hand was also very hot, but Du Xiaoju also held him tightly.

"Didi——Didi——"

The two were silently conveying tenderness and affection, and Qin Dong's paging suddenly rang from his waist.
