Return To 1977 Chapter 421: Be courteous and courteous

Of course, in the end we have to talk about "Tangxiner" separately.

This girl has an interesting attitude towards the Chinese New Year. She seemed careless on the surface, but I don't know when she had already prepared everything for the Hong family.

She bought two bottles of wolfberry wine for Hong Yanwu's father, and gave Hong Yanwu's mother a silver mirror and a silver comb.

Send two "Xianerti" quilt covers to Hong Yanwu's elder brother and sister-in-law. Give Hong Yanwen a cowhide belt and a sheepskin-covered notepad.

Hong Yanru was given two "handfuls" of gauze scarves and a piece of corduroy material, and Chen Liquan was given a silver watch chain.

Given Hong Jun a set of twelve-color watercolor pens and two packs of "White Rabbit Milk Candies".

In addition, "Aunt Bao" personally made "Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate" fancy rice cakes and gave them to the Hong family.

Given Tang Xin'er's financial status, the cost of each gift is not that much for her. But what’s rare is that this is obviously prepared for each person’s specific situation and preferences, and you can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into it.

As for what to give to Hong Yanwu, that would be even more thoughtful. Tang Xin'er actually knitted a long-haired gray wool scarf for Hong Yanwu with her own hands.

So when Hong Yanwu saw these things, his heart was filled with warmth. It feels like happy communism has been achieved.

Unfortunately, there is something wrong with "Tang Xin'er". When it comes to revealing their relationship, they are always too coy and embarrassed.

It was like this again, refusing to comply with Hong Yanwu's request to see his parents and relatives during the Chinese New Year.

She first said that she could not let her godmother spend the holidays alone at home, and then said that Hong Yanwu was not even old enough to get married, so it would be unnecessary and ridiculous to go now.

In short, we will never compromise. Hong Yanwu was so filled with hatred that he was helpless.

In the end, she saw that Hong Yanwu was really a little angry, so she had to compromise and said that if it didn't work, it would be "National Day" this year.

But since Hong Yanwu already knows the temperament of "Tang Xin'er", how can he allow her to use delaying tactics again and again?

He deliberately snorted and said without any doubt, "No, I'll go on May Day. No matter how ugly a daughter-in-law is, she still has to meet her parents-in-law. What are you afraid of when you're so beautiful? It's not because you regret it, right? ...".

Just like that, with coercion and coaxing, the girl finally agreed with a pitiful look, and this matter finally came to a visible end.

It should be said that by now, most people have clearly explained the Hong family's New Year gifts.

If there is anything that has not been mentioned, it is some things sent by the elder sister-in-law Xu Manli's natal family and the three old neighbors of the Hong family.

The main reason is that the economic conditions of these companies are not very good, and what they can provide is very limited. I won’t go into detail here.

In contrast, the Hong family also gave generous gifts to all these relatives and friends who treated each other sincerely.

First of all, four gifts were carefully prepared for the Shou family, Wanyan family, Chang family and in-laws Xu family.

The overseas goods brought back by Hong Yanwu are indispensable. Sea cucumbers, abalones, scallops, and dried shrimps are all prepared at two kilograms each as last year.

Each house still has two bottles of Maotai, two bottles of fruit wine, two cans of fruit, two cans of meat, and two cans of fish.

The difference is that this year the ribs, ribs, and fruits are gone, and they are replaced by one live chicken and one live duck for each family.

There are not many water chestnuts and leeks on the market, so I bought a few and kept them at home to eat by myself.

On the other hand, each family of mixed snacks and high-end candies gave away two kilograms. The sausage category has also been enriched and has become the flagship product of "Chunming Food Store".

Also, every house has two jars of "orange jam" made by Wang Yunlin using oranges that are on the market in autumn.

In addition, on this basis, additional emphasis and adjustments must be made to several relatives and friends based on the specific actual situation.

For example, Xu Manli’s father has been selling wine for half his life, and he both understands and loves wine. Yuntai always fills a few bottles of his "full palace incense" for this relative to taste. You also have to give eight pounds of fresh eggs.

Since Chang Xianzhang's father caught a cold, his cough has not gotten better in the past month. Shou Jingfang's "Qiuli Cream" can just give the right medicine. There are also eight pounds of eggs.

Also, Wang Yunlin had already promised Yuntai "pickled cabbage in sugar water", and Wang Yunlin made two jars of it for her brother.

And she was also afraid that her brother would suffer from frugality, so she took out another thousand yuan and 100 catties of food stamps and 15 catties of oil stamps sent by "Big Preserved Fruit", and asked Zhaoqing to hand them over to Yuntai.

At the same time, thanks to Secretary An, he has been thinking about me and asked his nephew to bring game meat. Then shouldn't you give someone good cigarettes and good wine in return? Two bottles of Maotai and two peonies were also temporarily added.

Even brothers An Yangyang and An Yueliang accompanied Zhaoqing on this trip, and their hard work was not in vain.

Since they looked at the Hong brothers' new pants with envy. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan happened to be rich, so they were transferred to them.

It's the same with the neighbors. No matter what they give, it's too much or too little. The Hong family treats everyone equally and tries to be as generous as possible to the extent that others can accept it with peace of mind.

So the game was mainly shared with these three old neighbor families. In addition, each family was given two kilograms of gas coupons and five kilograms of eggs.

It is worth mentioning that I heard that Bian Jiangong and Su Jin will not be able to come back for the Spring Festival this year. They are busy making connections and pestering their leaders to return to the city.

Hong Yanwu quickly got a few cartons of Class B cigarettes and several kilograms of high-end candies and sent them to the Bian family and the Su family.

He wanted to send it to these two people. It just so happens that during the festival, if you take these things and add more portions, things may be easier to handle. This moved the two families even more.

Also, for Uncle Xue from the "Chadian'er" farm. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn't forget either. They both missed this kind-hearted old man. Knowing that his family was not rich, they really wanted to send more good things.

But they also know that this old man has a bad temper, is strong and decent. I'm afraid that the things I sent will be sent back.

They calculated it with Wang Yunlin, and based on the principle of benefit, they finally decided to send five kilograms of gas stamps, fifty kilograms of food stamps, two bottles of "Tongzhou Laojiao" and two bags of candy.

Wang Yunlin wrote some greetings at the end of the letter, which was regarded as a package mailed in the name of her parents. Unexpectedly, the old man refused to accept it.

As for the other people, Hong Yanwu would have to go alone.

When it comes to relationships, Yang Weifan, Song Guofu and "Xiao Baizi" and "Little Wife" should be ranked high on the list. In addition, there are three policemen.

But the Yang and Song families didn't lack anything at all. Hong Yanwu also means it. Just take some "dried white fish" and "linden tree honey" from Xingkai Lake given by the Chang family and take them back for a taste.

As for "Little Baizi" and "Little Wife", they now have children in their hands and are living well, so they don't need to worry about anything else.

Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan went to "Xiao Baizi"'s house to check on his father and gave him some nutritional supplements to replenish his body.

The three policemen didn't have much to do.

Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin are definitely principled and gentle masters. Hong Yanwu had to make them wary if he wanted to give them something. If you really want to maintain your relationship, it's enough to have a meal together and have a good chat in the third grade of junior high school.

Zhang Baocheng is a little greedy, but he still knows himself. After the National Day, Hong Yanwu had just received so much seafood for nothing and he didn't want to ask for anything anymore. Hong Yanwu mixed some eggs and a live chicken for him, and he was already very grateful.

In addition to talking about feelings, there is also a discussion about utilitarianism. Some people could use it, and Hong Yanwu was not short of money. Burning a stick of incense was better than not burning it at all. To avoid arresting people first when you need them, that would be a fool.

So he planned to go to the homes of He Jiefu, Manager Sha, Master Si and the street director Li in one fell swoop when he was in the third year of junior high school to pay New Year greetings to them. A good cigarette and a good drink, courtesy and respect, that's enough.

After all, Hong Yanwu himself seemed to have a clear mind. Among the last of these people, the one who really deserves his greatest attention and the one who puts the most effort into handling it must be "Tang Xin'er".

He already understood something in his previous life. Both love and marriage require joint efforts and management by both parties.

What's more, comparing one's feelings with one's own, no matter what other people's thoughts are, the converse cannot be too different.

It's easier to say "Aunt Bao", she is from Shanghai. The southern food of "Pu Wufang", an old store that moved from Shanghai to Beijing, must suit her taste.

Hong Yanwu bought some "fresh, sweet, crispy and soft" "braised pork", "barbecued pork", "braised pigeon" and "smoked fish".

As for the "dried white fish", "linden honey", "autumn pear paste", "gold cake", "orange jam" and "sugar cabbage" at home, you must also prepare some.

Because both "Auntie Bao" and "Tang Xin'er" like sweets and like light foods, they both like most of these things.

But the difficulty is that it’s not even fun to just eat. There are very few choices when it comes to buying clothing these days, and both of them are people who live a refined life, so they can't be looked down upon by ordinary people. If you are cramming for the moment, where can you go to scratch it?

Fortunately, inspired by the meal at the "Jingcheng Hotel", Hong Yanwu had an idea and thought of a place where he could go to the "Friendship Store" that specializes in receiving foreigners, diplomats and government officials.

He put on the leather shoes bought by his elder brother, borrowed Chen Liquan's "American Leather Monkey", and dug out a pair of sunglasses his father had worn from the drawer at home, pretending to be a Hong Kong tourist and sneaking in.

When we introduced the "Service Department for Overseas Personnel" earlier, we mentioned that the "Friendship Store" in Beijing was established on the basis of the "Department Department Supply Department" by merging the foreign affairs business of three foreign-related stores.

Originally it was at No. 25 Donghua Gate. Later, in 1971, my country resumed its legal seat in the United Nations. In order to adapt to the new situation, a new building was specially built for it in Jianguomen.

In 1973, the "Friendship Store" officially moved to its new location for business.

The building area here is 15,482 square meters and the business area is 4,710 square meters. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it was the largest foreign-related service store and the largest high-end consumer goods store in the country.

As for the good stuff there, it’s really overwhelming. Such as women's items, fashionable clothing, high-end cosmetics, jewelry, etc., everything is available.

But one thing is that the money spent here is extraordinary.

At this time, foreign exchange coupons have not been issued, so foreign currency transactions must be used. It’s not that we don’t accept RMB, but you have to take out overseas remittance coupons to use them together.

Yes, Hong Yanwu is supposed to be able to find a way to redeem overseas remittance coupons.

But once he goes out, he may not be able to sneak in so smoothly. Second, Beijing is not the hometown of overseas Chinese. There are only a limited number of overseas remittance coupons on the market. They are not as easy to obtain as industrial coupons and cloth coupons, and the prices are not very suitable.

That's why Hong Yanwu felt so uncomfortable. He had money in his pocket, and there were plenty of good things, but he couldn't buy them.

Fortunately, I was really lucky today. Just when he was grinding in front of the jewelry and jade counter. A genuine Hong Kong man in his forties came to the counter and asked for a return.

To be honest, he just spent more than 5,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a pair of Hetian jade bracelets yesterday. After taking them back, his friends said they were not worth it, so he regretted it.

You know, every sales team in the Friendship Store has a "foreign exchange task". Naturally, they hope that customers will not return the goods, so they try their best to persuade them. But the more this happens, the more Hong Kong people believe that things are bad.

Hong Yanwu listened to the pretty salesperson talking about the quality. Of course he believed that the things were real.

Because there is no private economy these days, who would fake jade?

What’s more, the “Friendship Store” is the face of our country. The style of our country is that we have always been obsessed with saving face when dealing with the outside world. Buying from outsiders is all good stuff.

So, seeing it as an opportunity, he took the initiative to talk from the side and said that he could buy it with money. But he can only trade in RMB.

As a salesperson, as long as she keeps her foreign exchange, she has an indifferent attitude towards this transaction. Although it does not comply with the regulations, she can just let it go.

The Hong Kong people are quite thieves. Seeing that they really want it, they want to take advantage of the exchange rate. You can sell it, but you have to give me two thousand yuan in RMB.

Hong Yanwu was not a stickler, so he made some mental calculations and felt that this old boy could earn a hundred and eighty yuan. Not bothering to argue with him at all, the two of them counted the money and picked up the goods on the spot, completing the deal.

What’s interesting is that after the Hong Kong man left, the salesperson expressed a few thanks. Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu took advantage of the situation and actually got involved with him, and then asked if he could sell him some other things.

The salesperson laughed and said it would be okay if you have foreign exchange. It really doesn’t work without it. Because these jewelry need to be exchanged for foreign currency, overseas remittance coupons are not easy to use.

Hong Yanwu was also easy to talk to and asked her if she knew anyone at the counter. As long as she didn't need foreign exchange, she could just sell him some.

The salesperson had never seen someone so embarrassed and able to climb the pole, so he said, "We don't need foreign exchange for the handmade silk embroidered slippers. Do you want it? Twenty-five for a pair. As much as you want." How much."

As for her, it was originally a joke because she thought the things women use are so expensive. Even if a young man had money, it would be impossible for him to buy it. But he didn't expect that this would play into Hong Yanwu's hands.

As soon as he asked, he asked for twenty pairs. But the salesperson was shocked.

However, people in the capital are very face-conscious. Once you have said something, it would not look good if you turn your back and swallow it back. The salesperson had no choice but to take him to ask for help, and finally sold him twelve pairs for twenty-five cents.

This is really helpful. Hong Yanwu left two pairs of slippers, one pair for each of the trustee and the salesperson. This made them both overjoyed and thought he was quite sensible.

Hong Yanwu took the rest of the slippers home. Not much at all, just my mother, sister-in-law, and sister each have two pairs at home. "Bao Yi" and "Tang Xin'er" are also two pairs of one person. How appropriate this is.

Hey, it was really not in vain. For these things, no matter whether they are at home or outside, they have been well received, and all women have a smile on their faces when they see them.

Especially Tang Xin'er, she likes the bracelet and slippers very much. He praised him happily.

All this makes him feel like a "friend of women"
