Siheyuan, a primordial wonderland

Looking at Liang Ladi's expectant eyes looking at him, and his wife constantly winking at him from the side.

Chen Ping naturally knew what to do, but he did not agree immediately.

After all, some things come too easily and we won’t cherish them.

Although Chen Ping has the skill and ability, he will not do anything that is thankless.

He is not a saint, he is just an ordinary person, he also has seven emotions and six desires...

“Haha, Uncle Liang, I still don’t know what to do about this matter of the village chief.

Now the merger of the machine repair plant and the steel rolling mill will be arranged after we return after the Chinese New Year.

I am not afraid to tell you here that during the holiday before the New Year, the factory leaders had already asked us to hold a meeting.

We said that after we return home after the Chinese New Year, we will immediately discuss the various issues related to the merger with the leaders of the machine repair factory.

After all, these are two factories with a total of more than 10,000 people. The various materials and facilities that need to be consumed and prepared are all indispensable.

But don't worry, since you have found this place today, I will make special arrangements when we start work after the New Year.

But I can't guarantee whether it can be arranged successfully.

After all, I am just an insignificant worker in the factory."

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Liang Ladi, Secretary Liang, and the village chief who were present all looked at Chen Ping with gratitude.

They don't know Chen Ping's current position in the factory.

Except for the factory director, even some directors had to be polite when speaking to him!

After all, Chen Ping not only captured the guys who were eating in the factory, but also a group of them who had a good relationship with the deputy factory director.

How could ordinary people dare to provoke him?

When Liang Ladi heard Chen Ping say this, her eyes darkened...

However, where no one could see, there was a flash of determination in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

Of course, no one present noticed the change in his eyes. Even Chen Ping, whose physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, did not notice this scene.

However, Liu Yue'e, who had been talking to Liang Ladi on the side, seemed to have noticed something, but with her simple mind, she naturally didn't think too much about it.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became somewhat awkward, Chen Ping, as the host, naturally would not let the atmosphere become so awkward.

So I just spoke directly...

"Uncle Liang, Ladi, village chief, come...

You're welcome. It's Chinese New Year, and we bought these things when we came back. Let's try them all."

As Chen Ping spoke, he pushed the peanuts, melon seeds, and candies that Zhang Dahua and Liu Yue'e had brought out from the table toward the village chief and the others...

If Chen Ping hadn't said it, Secretary Liang and the others really wouldn't have noticed it. Now after Chen Ping's reminder, everyone looked at the two plates on the table with shocked eyes...

There was only a plate filled with melon seeds, peanuts and some dried fruits.

The other plate only contained some fruits such as oranges, apples, pears, etc.

There are also some candies in it. Of course, these candies are common candies on the market, such as White Rabbit Milk Candy.

Chen Ping also bought some candies at the Friendship Store.

With Chen Ping's current connections, it would be easy for him to buy some candies from the Friendship Store.

Don't think that the things sold in the Friendship Store are all for foreigners.

If this is really the case, then it proves that your relationship is not strong enough.

Don’t think that the Friendship Store only sells recycled items. There are still many things that foreigners like…

For example, chocolate, and various foreign candies...

It is now the beginning of 1959. Even if Russia wants to break off diplomatic relations with our country and withdraw its talents, it will not happen until next year.

So you can imagine how much shock these things that Chen Ping placed on the table caused to Secretary Liang and others!

"Xiaoping, this..."

Secretary Liang, as a guest, naturally couldn't say much, but as the village chief of Wangjia Village, he also had some face in front of Chen Ping, so he spoke directly and hesitantly...

"Xiaoping, what are these?

How come I have never seen it before?"

As the village chief spoke, he pointed to some dried fruits and the wrapped chocolate candies.

Even Liang Ladi looked at the things on the table with a puzzled look, and then looked at Chen Ping.

Everyone looked confused, and only Zhang Dahua and Liu Yue'e looked calm.

After all, they have never been short of these things since they moved to the city.

As long as Liu Yue'e or Zhang Dahua wanted to eat, they would tell Chen Ping and he would show up at home the next day...

And it wasn't just one or two. Every time Chen Ping brought these things home, he brought them in bags.

Also because Chen Ping brought too much candy home, Zhang Dahua and Liu Yue'e were afraid that it would go bad, so when they were in the house in the city, they often took out some candy to share with the children in the courtyard!

It is also because of this that the Chen Ping family has an extremely good reputation in the Siheyuan.

"Haha, village chief, this is foreign candy chocolate, try it..."

After hearing what Chen Ping said, the village chief, who had seen the world after all and was a retired soldier, naturally would not be afraid of taking poison.

Just take a candy and tear it open...

The moment the chocolate entered his mouth, the village chief couldn't help but frown.

After all, chocolate tastes a bit bitter, but Chen Ping bought all of them after he had tasted them himself...

They are all combined with cream, so they are bitter at first but sweet later.

Sure enough, Liang Ladi, who was staring at the village chief's expression, and Secretary Liang frowned when they saw the village chief...

They were both stunned for a moment, thinking that the candy was not tasty.

However, when the village chief smiled, the two of them finally felt relieved...

"Haha, Xiaoping, your candy is really delicious, I wonder where you bought it.

I will buy some tomorrow for my eldest grandson."

After hearing what the village chief said, Chen Ping didn't know what to say for a moment...

"Haha, the village chief bought this at the Friendship Store in the city."

Secretary Liang, Liang Ladi and the village chief were all stunned when they heard Chen Ping's words!

...Friendship Store...

It’s not that they didn’t know, but because they knew, they realized the weight of what Chen Ping said.

Secretary Liang then said...

"Xiaoping, is the Friendship Store you are talking about the one that is open exclusively to foreigners?"

Hearing this, Chen Ping nodded...

!!!

"Xiaoping, isn't it said that the Friendship Store is only for foreign friends to buy things there?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he immediately knew what Secretary Liang was going to say next, and he just said...
