Although the streets in Furong Town are small, there are three state-run stores: department stores, miscellaneous stores, and restaurants.The three shops stand on the street, middle and end of Qingshiban Street respectively.In terms of geographical location alone, it has an absolute advantage and is in a position to control the commercial activities of the whole town.Li Guoxiang, the female manager of the restaurant, was recently transferred from the county commercial bureau, and she has a special sensitivity to the free market in the town.Every fair day, she pays special attention to the rise and fall of all kinds of scattered snacks sold by various food stalls, to see how many private vendors are competing with their own state-run restaurants for customers, threatening the state-run food market.Like an old mayor's wife, she straightened her underdeveloped chest, looked around and checked the market, and finally settled on the rice tofu stall of "Sister Furong".To her secret surprise, it turned out that the face and appearance of "Rice Tofu Xishi" was just an advertising picture to attract customers! Not to mention her thoughtful service and smiling business skills. "These damned men! They're all like greedy cats, always hanging around the rice tofu stall..." As the manager of a state-run restaurant, she unknowingly lowered her status and identified the rice of "Sister Furong" The tofu stand is the only potential threat in the town that can compete with her.

One day at the fair, the female manager had a quarrel with "Sister Furong".The cause was minor and had nothing to do with the job of manager of a state-owned restaurant.Hu Yuyin's husband, Li Guigui, is a butcher in the town. Two batches of pig offal were brought from this fair, cut into shreds, and fried until fragrant and spicy. They were used to cover every bowl of rice tofu.The price remains unchanged.As a result, there was a queue in front of the rice tofu stand, and some people ate two bowls and three bowls.Invisibly, more than half of the customers of the state-run restaurant opposite were taken away. "Is this okay? The small vendor came to compete with the state-owned store?" So the female manager walked to the rice tofu stand in two steps.

Before him, he stretched out his hand wearing a "bull's eye" ①, "My fellow, hand over your business license to have a look!" Hu Yuyin didn't know her reason, and stopped the bowl and spoon He smiled and said: "Miss Manager, I am a small business, and all the fairs have paid taxes at the tax office. All adults and children in the town know..." "Business license! I want to verify your business license!" The female manager didn't withdraw her hand, "If you don't have a business license, call our employees to collect your stall!" Hu Yuyin, who is meek and responsible, was dumbfounded: "Sister Manager, please do me a favor, raise your hand, I sell rice tofu, it’s clear, it’s not a black market!" This annoyed those who were waiting to eat rice tofu, and they all stood up to help: "She set up her stall, you open your shop, well The water doesn't interfere with the river, and she didn't step on any graveyard!" "Good day today, a horse's head is sticking out of the cow trough!" "Female manager, you'd better go clean up your own shop, no more three fresh noodles!" It’s good to eat rat feces! Hahaha..." Later, Gu Yanshan, the director of the grain station, came forward to smooth things over for both sides: "Forget it, forget it, I live in a town, I don’t see you when I look down, and I come to the market if I have something to say. Talk to the management committee and the tax office!" Li Guoxiang, I really want to yell at the capitalists! The temple in Furong Town is a little demon, with a lot of bad people and bad things, and bullies her, a foreign cadre.

① The mountain people's joking name for watches. Li Guoxiang was originally a personnel cadre of the County Commercial Bureau, the niece of Yang Mingao, secretary of the county party committee's finance and trade, and a female general who was famous for criticizing capitalism on the county's commercial front.It is said that as early as 1958, she contributed ideas and suggestions, and the county administration for industry and commerce released an "industrial and commercial satellite": a surprise clean-up of small stalls and vendors throughout the county.Her deeds were also published in the provincial newspaper, and she became a celebrity in the county, and soon joined the party and was promoted.Everyone has a scripture that is difficult to recite.In the spring of this year, when she was about to be promoted to the deputy director of the county commercial bureau, the secret of her and the director of the county party committee finance office who had a family was unfortunately leaked.because of her

When I went to the hospital to have an abortion, I had to explain the origin of the evil animal in my belly.In order to protect the classics, the secrets are of course strictly controlled within a very small range.Even the female doctor who performed her abortion was quickly sent to the Dongting Lake area thousands of miles away to carry out "schistosomiasis prevention" due to work needs.Li Guoxiang was also temporarily wronged, and went down to Furong Town to be the manager of a restaurant.The pitiful ones don't even have enough stock-level cadres. The female manager is thirty-two years old.Over thirty-two is a complicated age for a woman who has not yet married.Alas, who can I blame? The history of love is the history of her youth.When Li Guoxiang was twenty-two years old, he took part in revolutionary work. When it came to choosing a partner, he really had a taste of ups and downs.Her first love was a second lieutenant platoon leader with a "bean" on the shoulder patch of the county military service bureau, but the popular chants among fashionable girls in those days were: one "bean" is too small, two "beans" are too few, Three "beans" are just right, but four "beans" are too old.She blows up with "A Bean" in no time.Not long after, I found a "three beans", old but not old, that is, the captain and company commander had just divorced a woman in the country, and there was a lively boy beside him, and when they first met, they called "stepmother" instead of "auntie" ! Touch his mother's ghost, the hanging tube will be pulled down.Then the third love entanglement occurred, which was lightning-like and very particular, so I won't show it here for the time being.In 1956, when the Party called for marching towards science, she found an intellectual—a Mr. Glasses from the County Water Conservancy Bureau.The two already had a "Hundred Days of Grace".But Mr. Glasses was classified as a rightist in the second year. "Oh my god!" She seemed to have encountered a five-step snake while walking at night, and hurriedly retracted her stepped foot, which was so dangerous! Now she vowed to become a personnel officer, and the partner would have to be a bureaucrat, even if It is to be a "stepmother".Her wish was only half achieved.Because all the good things in the world are hard to come by.Unknowingly, ten years of youth have passed, and she has become more and more popular in politics, but her circle in private life has become narrower and narrower, and her taste level has become lower and lower.Sometimes my heart is as anxious as a cat's paw scratching.The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to look in the mirror.When the window manages the clouds and temples, I feel sad when looking at the mirror.The big eyes that were originally distinct in black and white are now full of red streaks, and their color is cloudy yellow.The originally good-looking double eyelids have fainted dark circles, surrounded by crow's tail fine lines.There were two cute shallow dimples on the originally rosy face, but now the skin is slack, dry and yellow... My God, is youth so short for a woman who can't get the normal rain and dew of emotion? Will it wither and shrink after passing by? When a person becomes ugly, his heart becomes cold.Habits have become addictions, and she secretly envies those women who have families.

Li Guoxiang is eager to start a family.With a legal man, the secret of her troubles in the county will be forgotten by people.Who doesn't have one or two ridiculous things before getting married.When she came to Furong Town at the beginning of this year, she took a closer look. Under the minimum standard of "communist party member and state cadre", the candidates were pitiful, and only the "Yankee" Gu Yanshan, the director of the grain station, was selected. The "Yankees" were unshaven, disheveled, drinkers, old bachelors, and the like.However, according to the authority of Shanzhen Bank, Director Gu's personal passbook is a "dry name".Gu Yanshan's political and economic conditions are not bad, but there is a big difference in age... Alas, at this point, I can only take care of one end.As the saying goes: "The old man loves his wife, and the young man is famous." Of course, Li Guoxiang sometimes thinks unrequitedly: once he really sleeps with that unshaven black Lei Gong in his arms, it will be disgusting, and he may wake up all over. Goosebumps... A woman who is overripe can't always live on unrequited love.She began to pay attention to getting close to the director of the grain station, and shouted affectionately, "Old Gu, do you want me to ask the master chef in the store to cook for you?" Director, we have a new box of 'Xinghuacun' in our store, and I specially ordered to leave two bottles for you!" "Oh, the collars of your clothes are so black that they shine brightly, so you can save trouble by making a fake collar..." So like this.Originally, this kind of exposure and temptation between adult men and women are like flammable objects, which can be touched at the first touch.Gu Yanshan, an old bachelor, is like cut wet wood, without fire or smoke.It's disgusting! Li Guoxiang had no choice but to make further sacrifices and take some positive actions with a straight face.

One night, the town's supply and marketing, financial and grain systems jointly held a party meeting to convey the central document.There was no electricity in the town at that time, and a gas lamp hung on and off like an asthmatic in the venue.The manager was waiting on the dark stairway.When the director of the grain station came in, she naturally walked over to her: "Lao Gu, walk slowly, the entrance of this building is as dark as a coffin, do something good and hold my hand!" The director of the grain station didn't mind, stretched out The arm is to be held by the female manager, which is similar to the style of "hanging the arms" of men and women in Dakoukou.Unexpectedly, the female manager made an inch of it, and "hanging her arms" was not enough, so she even stuck her whole body up.The director of the grain station exhaled the smell of alcohol, and the female manager exhaled aroma.Anyway, on the dark wooden stairs in the middle of winter, no one can see clearly. "You, are you drinking again? Hee hee hee, the wine stinks!" The female manager felt pain and resentment like an old friend. "Why are you entwining me like a vine? Someone is coming, why don't you let go quickly?" The director of the grain station is really like a tree, completely unconscious.The female manager was so angry that she pinched him on the arm: "Old stuff! I don't know the taste, I don't know the taste! You don't eat the food delivered to your mouth?" The director of the food station retorted: "The female manager should not listen Wrong market and wrong price estimate, I understand the taste of wine, but I don’t know your taste!" God, what is this? It’s not disgusting! Fortunately, they have already arrived at the entrance of the venue, and both of them stopped talking.Each other is indifferent, each has its own dignity.After entering the venue, everyone sat down in their own place, as if nothing had happened.

Hitting a wall in front of a bachelor in his early forties! Li Guoxiang's teeth were chattering and rattling.Of course, the workers of the restaurant were unaware of the setback of the female manager. They saw that her eyes were swollen like peaches when she woke up the next morning.He also criticized a waitress for no reason: "You are so flirtatious, you wear short skirts to work, and you want to show your white and tender legs? No, it's disgusting! Do you want to be like that female vendor who sells rice and tofu? Or do you want to be a salesperson in a state-run restaurant? You don't want to. Face, our state-run restaurant has to talk about political influence! First write a review to your League branch, and dig out the ideological roots of being so fancy and coquettish!"

A few days later, the female manager herself found the root cause of her rebuff in front of the old bachelor Gu Yanshan: it was the "rice tofu Xishi", or "Sister Furong" as ordinary customers call her.It turned out that the old single man was courting his married woman Hu Yuyin, using his power to generously generous to the country, and provided sixty catties of broken rice grain heads for each polder! What kind of broken rice grain heads? Isn’t it just to deceive people’s eyes and ears! I don’t know what’s inside , Hiding some unsightly activities. "Hu Yuyin! Who are you? Who is Li Guoxiang? In Little Furong Town, you have the upper hand in everything!" For some days, she was so annoyed that she was so annoyed that she even complained about Hu Yuyin's infertility after marriage. , she was a little gloating. "Empty has a good skin! A widow who can't hold a cub!" In comparison, she can't help being a little conceited. After all, she has two records of abortion with Western medicine and herbal medicine... Gu Yanshan, Hu Yuyin! It's still early , the road is still far away.As long as Li Guoxiang lives and takes root in Furong Town, one day, you, an ambiguous couple of men and women, will be ashamed.

She is such a person: she is often stranded in the creeks and rivers of personal life, but she is sailing in the turbulent political rivers. "The gods go down to earth to ask the land", she decided to use her spare time to go to the party branch of the town brigade to investigate and investigate, to get some basic information, and then to make a long-term plan.
