"We should get along with each other, of course, but we only interact with people who are worth getting along with. Unnecessary socializing will waste time and effort, and will only hurt others and ourselves."

"People who really want to get along with us won't send their nanny to test us first, so why should we save face for them?"

Su Ti smiled at the people. Different places require different personalities. The city of Beijing will not accept the weak attitude.

They are all very cunning. If they show any sign of weakness, they will be eaten till nothing is left.

"Baichuan, once grandpa and the others have made the arrangements, you should be able to start working in the transportation department soon. Remember, when we get along with others, it is better to offend others than to force ourselves."

"The reason we want to return to the Li family is to seek shelter, isn't it? Compared to people like Qi Bowen, we are considered sensible."

"Moreover, truly smart people will not dare to offend you after knowing your identity. You don't need to worry about those who offend you without knowing the severity of the offense."

As they walked, Suti taught her how a man should behave and what to do in his respective position.

She just wants to live a comfortable life and cannot tolerate any grievance.

They are members of the Li family now, and compromising will only make others look down on them.

To put it bluntly, there are many people in Beijing who want to curry favor with them, they just need to keep themselves calm.

Only those of equal status would try every means to test them, so they must not show any weakness.

She couldn't help but think of her grandpa and his family, who had endured all these years, been suppressed, and dared not stand up, and in the end got nothing.

When you are alive, you should go crazy when you need to!

"Wife, don't worry, I understand everything." Wei Baichuan saw his wife teaching him how to get along with others in a serious manner, which touched his heart.

Only those who have you in their hearts and eyes will worry about you.

"Let's go, let's go shopping first." Su Ti pulled Wei Baichuan to the main street.

The current Beijing city is less refined than later generations. When Su Ti was in Shanghai, she traveled either by tram or bicycle, so she was very familiar with this place.

I found the platform and the route and waited for the bus there. I also taught Wei Baichuan how to read the route maps.

And what do the different colors of tram heads mean?

The most crowded time for taking the tram is when factories are going to and from get off work. At this time, all the people who are supposed to go to work are on the way, so they are considered the second shift.

There were not many people on the bus. I got on, bought a ticket, found a seat and sat down.

Su Ti bought a ticket from this station to the terminal, mainly because he wanted to take Wei Baichuan to see the scenery along the way.

Along the way, Su Ti pulled Wei Baichuan and chattered about the scenery of the streets and alleys of Beijing.

They passed by various factories, the Friendship Building, the department store, the state-owned restaurant, the school, and so on.

In some places, you can't see the end at a glance. Wei Baichuan went from being surprised at first to being numb later.

"This is the last stop, let's go down and take a walk." The last stop is the staff quarters of various state-owned factories.

The residential buildings of the largest steel rolling mills, steel mills, textile mills, machinery factories and the like in Beijing are all here.

Those government departments and military departments are still some distance away from here.

There are many people living here, and the surrounding is quite lively. Su Ti pulled Wei Baichuan through the streets.

"Wife, aren't stalls prohibited? Why are those people hawking their wares on the street so blatantly?"

Unlike Su Ti who was just watching the fun, Wei Baichuan immediately noticed several people gathered over there selling things.

"Look at what they are wearing. They are not setting up stalls. They are helping the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to deal with expired food."

"Do you know why everyone yearns for big cities? In the countryside, if you can't get anything to eat, everyone has to fight for it when they get to a department store or a supply and marketing cooperative."

"Besides the rare things here, at least people don't have to worry about food and drink. Pastries and biscuits won't taste good after being left out for half a year."

"Everyone has eaten a lot of good things, so they don't care about these anymore."

"The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative would assign people to go to the gates of these family compounds to sell them at a low price. They said they were cheap because they didn't need tickets."

Su Ti explained to Wei Baichuan that these are also common in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"Is it just food? Why not transport it to other places and sell it?" Wei Baichuan thought it was better than wasting it.

"This is the local protection policy. The supply in each place is different. If Beijing can't consume all of it, the next purchase will not send so much to Beijing."

"This is where the leaders are. We'd rather have more than less. The purchasing department definitely doesn't want to ask for help from other places."

"It's been like this for a long time. I couldn't bear to let it go, but I couldn't eat it. Finally, I came up with this solution."

"And they don't waste anything, do they? They process it internally, but usually only for food."

"Clothes and daily necessities won't go bad, and they won't be taken out for disposal. There are many kinds of things in Beijing, and they have a full range of categories. Everything must be at the forefront."

What Wei Baichuan thought was a waste was normal to Su Ti.

Beijing is the country’s big brother, and a big brother should always act like a big brother.

No matter how poor other places are, foreign friends who have been to Beijing will only think they are prosperous.

But only they themselves know what's going on inside.

"Let's go and take a look." Wei Baichuan was very interested in the street vendors there.

They seemed to have come to another world, a prosperous one where they could come and go freely, business was free, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment, leading a more comfortable life.

"Comrade, would you like to buy some cakes? Look, we have canned food!"

No matter who comes, the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative greets them warmly, unlike the arrogant look on their faces when they buy things in the supply and marketing cooperative.

"How much is this canned fruit?" Wei Baichuan pointed to one he had never seen before.

"Fifty cents." The man showed Wei Baichuan the side with the date on it.

It still has about a month left before it expires, so it’s considered fresh among these processed goods.

"I want it." Wei Baichuan had an idea in his mind, but he had to go back and discuss it with his wife.

Su Ti followed behind and paid the money quickly. Wei Baichuan walked among the crowd and bought a lot of things.

She looked at people lovingly, buying, buying, buying everything!

"Wife, shall we go somewhere else for a walk?" Wei Baichuan became interested. He suddenly discovered that Beijing was full of surprises.

Big cities have greater risks, but also more opportunities.

"How about we go to the movies?" Suti looked forward and saw the People's Cinema in front of him.

I guess they opened the business here after some investigation, after all, there are many factories and people here.

"Okay." Wei Baichuan followed behind with his things in his hand, agreeing with his wife's words.

The movie ticket, which cost one cent, came with a small handful of melon seeds.

Wei Baichuan thought that movie tickets only cost seven cents there, but there were no melon seeds.

Can this be sold together? Big cities are really different. There are small details and business opportunities everywhere.

"Hey, the one in the front, we want this bench, you guys go to the back." Wei Baichuan had just helped his wife sit down when someone patted his shoulder hard.
