59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

After buying the picture book, he went to the candy counter.

There was still a long line at the candy counter.

As the largest commercial center in the country, it has a huge daily passenger flow.

At the counter, a face familiar to Chen Feng was quickly weighing and settling accounts.

'He's transferred here now?'

Zhang Binggui, a candy salesman in a department store, developed a method for quick checkout to reduce the amount of waiting in line, and thus became the protagonist of Bing Xin's novel.

He later became a nationally renowned model worker. After his death, a bronze statue of him was erected in the square in front of the department store.

Leader Chen wrote a personal inscription for it: "A Ball of Fire" spirit shines across China.

Chen Feng recognized Zhang Binggui by the bronze statue.

He muttered to himself and took out the comic book he had just bought and started to look through it.

A little child behind him stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to peek.

Chen Feng smiled and put the small book down.

"Thank you uncle."

The little boy was very polite, but he mistook his height for his age, which hurt Chen Feng's kindness a little.

After reading half of the comic book, Chen Feng came to the counter.

"Uncle Zhang, give me a pound of each."

Chen Feng took the ticket and money and handed them to Zhang Binggui at the counter.

"Little comrade, do you know me?"

Zhang Binggui said happily as he weighed the candies quickly and enthusiastically.

He was recently transferred from the pastry counter to the candy counter due to work needs.

Being remembered by customers is a great honor for an idealist like him who is dedicated to serving the people.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You are a model worker in our city. My father told me to learn from you, uncle."

Zhang Binggui was a model worker in Sijiucheng in 57. In 1978, he was awarded the title of special salesperson by Sijiucheng. In 1979, he was awarded the title of national model worker.

It was from this candy counter that he started as a hard-working salesman and gradually mastered the amazing skills of weighing with one grasp and mental arithmetic with one mouthful.

The number of people served exceeds millions!

"Haha, I wouldn't dare to do that. I'm just a salesperson, just like everyone else."

"A pound of sugar. Please keep it."

"Thank you, uncle."

Chen Feng picked up the bag and quickly left the counter.

Leave the department store, walk to an empty corner, and take out the fish bucket and fishing rod from the space.

Walk home carrying your things.

"Oh my goodness, another full bucket of fish, amazing!"

An old lady sitting at the entrance of the alley stretched her neck to take a look, and suddenly she could no longer sit still and started shouting loudly.

Chen Feng did this on purpose, not wanting them to know that he could fish. Maybe in the future, when he had something delicious to eat at home, someone would report him.

Although as they are military dependents, there won't be too much trouble.

But the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office talk to you every day, which is also very annoying.

"Xiao Feng, let me see."

"Oh my god, there are so many loaches. I'm going to get rich."

"I heard from Shazhu that you guys had roasted loaches and paired them with Xifeng wine yesterday. You guys were having a great time."

A group of unemployed aunties who were guarding the alley were talking to each other.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's because we have no food."

“If I had food at home, I would be going to school now.”

"Going to school is important. If you can get into a technical secondary school or high school, it will be much better than going fishing."

"Yes, Xiaofeng, studying is important, don't delay your homework."

Chen Feng nodded and broke away from their encirclement.

"Oops, I forgot to ask him where he caught the loaches."

As soon as Chen Feng entered the door, his keen sense of smell immediately smelled the aroma of seasonings wafting from the kitchen.

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that Shazhu had indeed left work early and was making seasoning.

"Zhu Zi, you came back early. Did you say hello to the higher-ups?"

Sha Zhu said with a smile: "I told you I would cook for your grandfather today, and they dared not give me face?"

Take a look at the fish bucket and the bag of crabs in Chen Feng's hand.

"What's in the bag?"

Chen Feng put down the fish bucket and took out the crabs inside.

"Here."

Sha Zhu said with emotion: "I really don't know where you got so many crabs. Your father is lucky. He will not go hungry in the future thanks to you."

Chen Feng asked: "Zhu Zi, do you want two kilograms of loach, or one yuan?"

Sha Zhu said as a matter of course: "You are talking nonsense, I definitely want loach, this thing is delicious when eaten with wine!"

"What's the use of money?"

Money is still of some use, although not much.

The steamed crabs were not yet cooked, but Chen Hao and He Yushui could no longer concentrate on their studies. Like Chen Li, they lined up, leaning against the kitchen wall, looking at the steam from the steamer.

After Chen Feng and Sha Zhu finished talking, the little girl couldn't wait to look at his chest.

There is something in it.

"Cauldron!"

"What are you doing?" Chen Feng looked at the three of them and asked curiously.

"We are competing to see who can stand longer. The loser has to give two crab claws to the winner." Chen Hao replied.

"You guys are so boring."

Chen Feng took out three candies from his chest and gave one to each person.

"Thank you, brother."

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

"Big Pot, you are so nice!"

The little girl had a candy in her mouth and wanted to hug him, but when she saw the two older ones, she stopped moving.

Chen Feng took out the comic book with a smile and deliberately placed it next to the stove.

"I bought the book and put it here. Whoever likes it can take it first."

"Forget it, I give up."

He Yushui immediately stepped forward and picked up a book to pass the time.

Chen Hao looked at the little girl, and the little girl also looked up at her second brother.

"Little sister, admit defeat."

"No, I want to eat."

Chen Hao took a look at the color cover, hesitated, and took a step back.

"How about we make peace?"

"No!" the little girl said firmly.

After standing for a few minutes, Chen Hao admitted defeat.

"you win."

He rushed forward and wanted to take both picture books away, but was slapped on the back of his hand by He Yushui.

"As a brother, you should give in to your sister."

"You're right, Haozi, we shouldn't be greedy." Sha Zhu said from the side.

Chen Hao took one and gave the remaining one to the smug little girl.

"Cauldron, I win!"

Chen Feng held the little girl in his arms, sat in the kitchen, and told her stories using comic books.

"Second son, put the candy away for grandma."

"Oh well."

Chen Hao carried the bag of candy and obediently delivered it to the old man's room.

Although this guy is greedy, he has one good thing: he is obedient and doesn't dare to do anything wrong.

The old man was lying on the bed, waving to Chen Hao who came in.

"Did your eldest brother buy it?"

"Yes, Grandpa, my brother also caught a lot of loaches and crabs." Chen Hao answered respectfully. "We can eat loaches again tonight."

"Silly grandson, are you celebrating Chinese New Year every day?"

The old man shook his head.

Pick up a candy and put it in your mouth.

"Give it to your grandmother, and tell your brother Zhuzi that it is enough to just cook crabs. The loaches should be exchanged for food."

The old man murmured, "As long as there is food at home, there is no need to worry. Food is better than loaches."
