Chapter 109 Crowded Supply and Marketing Cooperative
Chapter 109 Crowded Supply and Marketing Cooperative
After changing back into his clothes, Shen Nian staggered towards the supply and marketing cooperative. Before he even arrived at the cooperative, he saw from a distance that the entrance of the cooperative was crowded with people.
Shen Nian couldn't help but be amazed. It turned out that no matter what era, people's purchasing power during the Chinese New Year was always strong.
The level of congestion in the supply and marketing cooperatives nowadays is comparable to the old men and women in later generations who rush to supermarkets early in the morning to grab promotional items.
Shen Nian didn't really want to be a member of this crowded crowd, but when he thought about the fact that he still had some tickets that were about to expire, Shen Nian hesitated for a few seconds and decided to join in.
Shen Nian rushed into the crowd. Although it was winter, she felt a heat wave coming over her. People pushed her from here and there, and there were all kinds of sounds and smells in between, making her feel a little dizzy.
When Shen Nian finally squeezed out of the supply and marketing cooperative, her hair had become a little messy and sweat was oozing from her forehead. She looked down at her shoes and saw several large footprints on them, which were quite symmetrical.
Shen Nian stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and took a deep breath of cold air. Only then did he feel his mind become a little clearer.
She gently tidied her hair to straighten out the messy strands, then walked towards the state-owned restaurant carrying the things she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister! Here!" As soon as Shen Nian walked into the state-owned restaurant, Ye Jiaojiao saw her and quickly stood up and waved to her.
Shen Nian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Jiaojiao standing by a table, waving at her, while Zhao Gaoxuan was sitting beside her.
Shen Nian walked over quickly, put the things in his hand on the table, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, is the supply and marketing cooperative still very crowded? Let me tell you, when Zhao Gaoxuan and I went there just now, we were almost squeezed out." Ye Jiaojiao said as she poured a bowl of soy milk for Shen Nian.
"Yes, it's too tight. People have stepped on my shoes several times. Jiaojiao, did you get the package so quickly? Did you buy the things?" Shen Nian took a sip of soy milk and then looked at Ye Jiaojiao and Zhao Gaoxuan and asked.
"Yes, sister. But we just got here." Ye Jiaojiao nodded with a happy smile on her face.
"Sister, let me tell you, I don't know if it's because Zhao Gaoxuan and I come to pick up our packages every month, but when we got to the post office, the staff member was looking for a package for Shi Zhiqing. When he saw Zhao Gaoxuan and me picking up our packages, he gave ours to us first!"
"Then Zhang Fengfeng saw that we arrived later than them but received the package before them. She was very unhappy and started making a fuss, saying that the post office staff must have taken advantage of us. They didn't give them the change when they arrived first, but we who arrived later got the change first."
"What happened next? What did the people at the post office say?" Shen Nian asked curiously.
"The staff member was also quite temperamental. He lashed out at her with some blunt remarks, and she finally shut up. Guess what happened? The staff member searched everywhere but couldn't find Shi Zhiqing's package. Shi Zhiqing was in dire straits. Along with Zhang Fengfeng, she was also severely scolded by the staff member."
Ye Jiaojiao described the scene vividly, as if she was still happy about Zhang Fengfeng's failure.
"But when the educated youth left, they said they were going to complain about that staff member."
"Sister, do you think that staff member will really be complained by Shi Zhiqing? Will he lose his job because of the complaint?" Ye Jiaojiao asked worriedly.
As the three were talking, they saw Shi Shengxia, Zhou Jinge and Zhang Fengfeng enter the state-owned restaurant. Zhang Fengfeng saw them at a glance and glared in their direction fiercely.
Shi Shengxia obviously saw Shen Nian and the others, but she just glanced at them lightly and did not stay for too long. She followed Zhou Jindong to the seats on the other side.
"It shouldn't happen. Nowadays, jobs in the city are all assigned to specific positions, and it's an organization like the post office. It's impossible for him to lose his job just because of one or two complaints. There should be a way to deal with it. You'll know the next time you pick up a package." Shen Nian whispered to comfort Ye Jiaojiao.
"Really? Then I feel relieved!" Ye Jiaojiao patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
And in the alley on the other side.
"Hu Tingting! Why do you always follow me? I'm going to see my uncle, and you want to go with me?" Lin Yu stopped and said impatiently, looking at Hu Tingting who was following him.
"Who followed you! I was also going to find my uncle!" Hu Tingting shouted unconvinced.
Lin Yu was so angry that he laughed: "Is your uncle's surname also Li?"
"Well~ why not." Hu Tingting raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a proud smile.
"My uncle's surname is also Li, and he works at the police station in front! Why, you are allowed to go to your uncle, but I am not allowed to go to my uncle?" Hu Tingting put her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Yu provocatively.
Lin Yu widened his eyes and looked at Hu Tingting's smug look, feeling speechless.
He had always known that Hu Tingting was thick-skinned. After all, he had been pestered by her for more than ten years, but he didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned.
He called his uncle her uncle without blushing at all.
Lin Yu decided not to bother with Hu Tingting anymore. He set his eyes on Wang Hongying who was beside Hu Tingting.
Wang Hongying noticed Lin Yu's gaze and lowered her head shyly, but Lin Yu's words immediately made her freeze in place.
"Hu Tingting! It's fine if you go to find my uncle by yourself! Why do you bring her with you? Can anyone go to the place where my uncle works?" Lin Yu looked at Hu Tingting with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Wang Hongying's face froze: "Tingting, I still don't..."
"Hongying, don't be afraid of him!"
Hu Tingting curled her lips at Lin Yu and said with disdain, "Hongying is my friend, so what if I take her with me? Your uncle is just a police officer at the police station, not the director! Don't act like the entire police station is your family. Let's go and see what's going on."
Lin Yu was so angry at Hu Tingting's unreasonable arguments that he almost laughed out loud. He shook his head, ignored Hu Tingting, turned around and continued walking towards the police station.
Seeing this, Hu Tingting unwillingly pulled Wang Hongying and ran up quickly.
The three of them walked one after the other, ignoring each other, and soon arrived at the police station.
"Comrade! What can I do for you?" A police officer asked when he saw three people coming in.
"Hello, Public Security Comrade, I'm here to look for my uncle, Li Shunli." Lin Yu replied politely.
"Are you looking for Captain Li? Are you Captain Li's nephew? A relative?" When the policeman heard that it was Li Shunli, his expression instantly stopped being serious and became warm instead.
Lin Yu nodded.
"Let's go. Captain Li happens to be here today. I'll take you to his office to see him."
"Thank you, Public Security Comrade."
The public security comrades enthusiastically led Lin Yu and others to Li Shunli's office, and Hu Tingting and Wang Hongying followed behind Lin Yu.
The three of them followed the public security comrade to the door of Li Shunli's office, and the public security comrade knocked on the door.
"Captain Li, your nephew is here to see you." The public security comrade shouted into the office and then pushed the door open.
Lin Yu walked into the office and immediately saw his uncle Li Shunli, who was busy at his desk. He walked over and called softly, "Uncle."
Li Shunli raised his head and saw Lin Yu, a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Xiaoyu, why are you here? I was planning to visit you after I finished these two days of work, but you came first. Come and sit down."
"Captain Li, you guys chat, I'll be leaving first." The leading police officer said to Li Shunli.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Xiao Zhang." Li Shunli nodded and covered the document in his hand with another document.
When Xiao Zhang closed the door, he glanced at the pile of documents that Li Shunli had just sorted out, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
