Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Therefore, Li Aiguo led He Yushui to the grocery counter on the first floor and bought him three bottles of "Arctic Snow" mineral water from the north.

He was surprised to learn that this store actually provided free ice service - just open the refrigerator door showing the freezer, and the waiter will take large ice cubes from the refrigerator and add them to the bottle.

Curious He Yushui asked, "Comrade, do I have to pay extra for ice?"

The waiter smiled and responded, "This is our obligation." After learning that there was no extra charge, He Yushui pursed her lips and nodded repeatedly. "Then, please put a large piece of ice on it... No, no, I need two pieces." Wang Dagui laughed after observing He Yushui's money-grubbing attitude, "Sister, your Aiguo brother won't care about money for this." He answered firmly and forcefully, "But mom said that Aiguo brother's money must be saved for marriage." After this, even Wang Dagui, who was listening, couldn't help but smile, "Haha," he thought secretly in his heart, "This girl is so considerate and understanding. If I were a boy, I would really want such a good sister."

(laughter)

"Gurgle...", with a sound, the cool water flows through the throat and spreads.

Sweat glands all over the body open up, and the stuffiness in the body disappears.

Just this one word - "comfortable" - can describe the feeling at this moment.

The bottles can also be exchanged for money.

After putting the bottle back, Wang Da Kui found his friend who was a melon seeds salesman working here.

The man's surname is Bai. He is tall and thin, speaks politely and has an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

After knowing that Li Aiguo and his friends wanted to buy a radio and a bicycle, Bai promised on the spot that he could pick the goods for them.

Li Aiguo then recalled that in those days, not only could you not return items you bought from the cooperative, but once the goods were taken out by the counter clerk, they could no longer be changed.

There are no options other than return and refund.

Even the Beijing Department Store is the most famous "cooperative" in China with the best service attitude.

When someone familiar helps you, you will naturally nod to express your gratitude.

The tall and thin Bai asked one of his colleagues to take over his position.

He brought Li Aiguo and the other two to the radio sales counter on the third floor.

There were seven or eight different brands of radios on the counter, including Red Star, **, and Modu.

The tall and thin Bai walked into the counter and talked with the older lady in charge of selling things. He introduced them with a smile: "Auntie, these are all my friends. Please choose them carefully."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help my friend choose a good machine, but remember to leave me some old products." The saleswoman said happily while biting melon seeds.

"Don't worry, Sister Zhang. I'll prepare two kilograms for you today."

While the two friends were chatting, Wang Dagui leaned over to Li Aiguo's ear and whispered the inside story, "Lao Bai, the melon seeds seller, all the melon seeds in these counters are collected by **. Customers take away the good melon seeds, and the ones left are the old ones. The lower-priced ones are divided into parts by the counter employees."

That’s amazing, it’s such a blessing.

At the same time, Li Aiguo had a new understanding of the child in front of him. Although this child left school early, he had been tempered in society for many years and had become proficient in interpersonal relationships.

The saleswoman, Sister Zhang, who had gained benefits, became even more enthusiastic and took out a brown paper box from under the counter.

The goods were roughly packaged, but judging from their appearance, they were obviously of extraordinary value.

As soon as I opened the box, I saw a red radio inside.

The surface gleamed brightly under the light, the antenna was coated with a shiny chrome layer, and there were four speakers installed at the front and back.

The cowhide surface is engraved with three gold-plated characters "Dongfanghong".

What shocked Li Aiguo the most was that the bottom of the panel was made entirely of plastic.

In later times, high-end audio equipment is usually made of wood.

But in this era of lagging chemical industry, plastic is a symbol of luxury.

This is a new frequency band radio recently produced by the state-owned Hankou Radio Equipment Factory.

It has a built-in tuning magnet, which makes the received signal more accurate and sensitive.

"Zhang Xiaohui is not talking nonsense. You won't see another watch like this in any of the department stores in Beijing."

The saleswoman explained with pride on her face.

"That's it!"

Li Aiguo chose this little cutie at first sight.

The reason he chose it was because he saw the words "Dongfanghong" in capital letters on the surface.

Because the manufacturing cost of this watch brand was too high, only a few batches were produced and the production activities were temporarily suspended.

If you can buy this watch and take it home, it may even become a family heirloom.

Unexpectedly, the saleswoman didn't expect that Li Aiguo's decision would be so resolute and clear.

After all, this watch is positioned as a high-end product, and its price usually costs hundreds of yuan, which is equivalent to the total of 4 or 5 average salaries of a person, so people will consider it again and again.

It was not until Li Aiguo took out the watch receipt and prepared to pay that she realized that the other party really wanted to buy this watch.

"Comrade, we have clearly marked prices here. This watch is worth 160 yuan, but I really can't help you make a discount. But it happens that we have some matching watch bracelets now, so I'll give you one."

This type of electronic tube watch rarely has quality problems in normal use, but the dial is made of plastic and is easy to wear. If the paint on the surface is scratched, it will look very ugly.

Therefore, having a spare dial can make it more durable and easier to maintain.

After checking the watch to make sure everything is in good condition,

Li Aiguo took out 160 yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

"Xiao Baigao" became interested when he saw Li Aiguo pay so quickly and efficiently, and secretly pulled "Da Kui" aside.

"Da Kui, what does that senior do for a living?"

Hearing this question, Da Kui laughed and said, "He is a train driver."

"No wonder, I heard from others that the monthly income of a train driver in this country is more than a hundred yuan." Xiao Baigao said with some envy.

"Don't mention it. Although our sales staff's salary is a little lower, it is still 8** yuan a month. How can it be compared to me who now has to stay here selling second-hand sundries and earn a meager amount of money?" "Da Kui" comforted him and patted Xiao Bai's tall shoulder with his finger in response.

"Okay, okay, you are now the head of the company's department, how can you be inferior to us?"

"Keep your voice down, Li Aiguo has already chosen the watch and is ready to take it away. Da Kui quickly went up to help him take it." At this time, the two were still discussing some internal comparisons.

"So what now? Let's go buy a bicycle as a gift for my girlfriend."

There was nothing much to choose from when it came to bicycles. At that time, well-known bicycle brands such as the 28-inch-frame Classic Forever, Phoenix, and Eagle were more popular in the market.

But at that time, not all large-size bicycles were available; for 28-inch bicycles, the only models available on the market were the Fei Ge brand models, which were neatly displayed on the store shelves.

A small wooden sign is hung next to it with "No Touching" written in big red letters. The font looks a bit sloppy and distorted, trying to warn all passing consumers not to touch the exhibits.

The watch is wrapped in red silk cloth, so it is impossible to tell from the outside whether it is worn or has paint peeling.

At this time, "Xiao Baigao" came into play again. He stepped forward to say hello, and the enthusiastic assistant cooperated with the sales lady to help He Xiaoshui carefully select a brand new and perfectly packaged Fei Ge brand bicycle.

Xu Damao is really our frequent visitor.

Know our rules well.

It was only then that He Yushui discovered that Xiao Fengxian came from the Bada Hutong.

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of a lot of new knowledge.

"That's a 26-inch bicycle."

We just chatted for a few words and passed it off.

He Yushui tied up the car, dragged Yan Jiedi to the side, and whispered quietly into her ear.

Yan Jiedi lowered her head to look at the position of her pants, then her face turned a fiery red and she hurriedly hid in the room.

After a while, confused voices were heard in the room.

"Mom, my pants fell down, it's so embarrassing..."

The fact that He Yushui bought a bicycle caused a stir in the courtyard, and everyone was envious. Seeing this shiny bicycle, everyone thought it was a great thing that Li Aiguo had done, which made He Yushui and Aunt Liu have this godmother-daughter relationship. If the relationship between him and Sha Zhu was different, the current situation might be completely different.

He Yushui and Yan Jiedi, who were riding in the yard, laughed from time to time. Aunt Liu was sitting at the door, smiling, and the wrinkles on her forehead were smoothed out by her smile.

"Patriotism, why don't we think about adding a rack to the front of his bicycle. That way, he will have a place to put his schoolbag on the way to school."

"There are ready-made small baskets in department stores. We can buy them later and install them directly."

Li Aiguo agreed to Aunt Liu's request with a smile. Just as they were feeling happy, the door of Xu's house slowly opened, and a low-profile man rushed out, walked towards Li Aiguo, and said with a smile, "Brother Aiguo, I heard that you bought a radio?"

Hearing this question, he nodded: "Well, I bought it. Now, you should go and try it out and hear how its sound quality is?" Then, Xu Damao rubbed his palms, waiting with anticipation for what he would feel.

Observing Xu Damao's eagerness and excitement, Li Aiguo asked doubtfully: "Damo, do you also know what good sound quality is?"

"Don't say that. I started out as a projectionist in a cinema. I'm considered half a cultured person and an artistic worker. This is a profession. A few days ago, I went to a leader's house to show a movie. Do you know what the leader said about it?" Li Aiguo was a little confused by this - Xu Damao's way of asking and answering himself seemed to remind people of other people's usual behavior.

When he continued to remain silent, Xu Damao felt bored and continued, "The leader said that the sound quality of their movie player is not as good as that of the phonograph. This is enough to prove the importance of sound quality."
