golden years(19)

As soon as this happened, the Meng family didn't even dare to let out a single fart. They quickly agreed to the marriage, and then Bailan's mother Huang Zhuhua came. She had no other requirements for the marriage with the Jin family, and she didn't want a bride price.

But the Meng family doesn't give a dowry. I agree, but they don't allow girls from the Bai family to marry from the Meng family.

That's what happened! She said to Yang Shuhui, "You know, it will be difficult for the person you marry to be the head of the family. Lao Meng has a bad temper..."

Yang Shuhui said, "If she doesn't marry from the Meng family, Bai Lan will not have a natal family."

"In the Bai family, there are her uncles and uncles, who are always in contact with each other."

Yang Shuhui didn't say anything. If she thought this way, she really couldn't say anything.

It can be said that this marriage was arranged more sloppily than Damin's marriage. Of course, marrying a wife is now easy, no matter how you do it, it's all right.

It's just that the man sets up a table, comes to eat and drink, and that's it.

Moreover, after the couple got married, they decided not to live here and wanted to stay at the medical station. The medical station was Bailan, with a facade in front and three large tile-roofed houses in the back, which were built by the commune at that time. Bailan meant, "We

If I don’t take advantage of it, I won’t know who will benefit from it in the future.”

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where you live.

Then it was natural that the families were separated, and Sanling and Bailan lived on their own. The old couple's family was one family, and the fourth family's couple was another family. It was originally agreed that Jin Yin and Yang Shuhui would live with Fourth Master and Tongtong.

, the houses in front have been built. Now this courtyard belongs to Sanling.

Of course, it still belongs to Sanling, but now that Sanling can't live in it, the old couple can't move in with their younger son, and they have to occupy the house. Otherwise, everyone will have objections. Many people can't get a homestead.

There are many brothers in the same family who live in one hospital, but your family still has a free yard to live in. It is too eye-catching.

In this way, the old couple could not move. The three sons were divided into four houses, and in the end, the old couple were the only ones left.

To the east, the eldest daughter-in-law shouted, dissing her eldest son's slow work, "Get out of the way and go cook! You don't have to worry about it here."

To the west, the little daughter-in-law is giggling, and the young couple is picking old loofahs in the yard.

But no, Luffa is already old.

The fourth master stood on the stool and picked the loofahs, while Tongtong picked them up below. The grapes had not grown yet, because they planted a shelf of loofahs in the yard to enjoy the coolness. In addition to being eaten as vegetables when they are young, they are also old.

I got so much. These things can be used for washing pots and bathing after cleaning. The extra ones this year are enough for an alley.

There are several nests of gourds planted on the walls and at the door of the cubicle. There are so many gourds hanging now, and someone has long said not to pick them in a hurry, but to wait a little longer so that they can be cut into pieces and used as gourds.

The two of them were playing with this at home, when someone shouted at the door: "Fourth brother! Fourth brother." Who is it?

Fourth Master stood on the stool and responded, "Here you are, come in!"

The person who came was Xiao Liao, the cashier of the purchasing and marketing agency, a very capable young man. "Fourth brother, it's me!" Then he greeted Tongtong, "Sister-in-law is here too."

Lin Yutong poured tea and said, "Sit down! Sit down quickly."

The fourth master got off the stool and sat at the stone table with Xiao Liao. "You are in such a hurry. Is it because you have something to do? Or is there something at work?"

Xiao Liao whispered, "Fourth brother, I have a loss of two hundred and three dollars this month."

How could a small buying and selling agency lose so much in one month?

The Fourth Master stood up and patted Xiao Liao, "Let's go! Go and have a look."

Tongtong was worried about this small buying station. If the accounts were not correct even for a penny, it wouldn't be possible.

When the fourth master arrived, he entered through the side door of the purchasing and marketing agency. This is usually where employees enter and exit. The external door has been boarded up. The door boards are piece by piece, with grooves up and down. The upper part is deeper and the lower part is shallower. The wooden boards are stuck.

Go into the groove, and then bolt it with the door bolt. To be honest, the average burglar is most afraid of this kind of door, because it is difficult to open. And the same is true for windows. If you have to add a door panel to the window, it is also difficult to open. Very

If a thief went in and stole the contents, he must be very clever.

When I went there, Director Zhou was smoking, with a heavy face. Accountant Fu Lao Niu was calculating over and over again with a shiny abacus. Others were either standing or leaning on the counter, and no one dared to speak.

.

Seeing the Fourth Master coming in, everyone winked.

The fourth master has been seconded for a long time, and it is none of his business if there are losses.

Director Zhou didn't show any shame to the Fourth Master. He just waved the Fourth Master aside and said, "We have old rules. We close the door at five o'clock to take stock and get off work at six o'clock. We have to take inventory every day and replenish the goods at any time, right?"

Yes! That’s how it is in the store.

Director Zhou's voice became even softer, "Like oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, these must be corrupted internally. Oil can be better. If there is less of this stuff, it can't be made up. It's just soy sauce, vinegar and salt. Isn't that what we are secretly corrupting internally?"

This? It must be! But these things are condiments, how much can we eat ourselves? "

Understand, it is actually internal. For example, Sister Zhang went back to scoop out a bowl of vinegar and then added a bowl of water to the vinegar jar. In a commune, one jar of vinegar was basically sold out a day. There were six people in the company, and one person

If you drink a bowl of vinegar a day and scoop out six bowls of vinegar and replace it with six bowls of water, you won't be able to tell whether there is any significant change in the taste of the vinegar. Besides, how can you replace six bowls of vinegar a day?

We didn't buy this kind of thing ourselves, but the total amount didn't change and the money we sold didn't decrease.

Then there is table salt. The salt bags always have a slit. Why do the salts bought by everyone say they are a bit damp? I don’t even think about it, how can it not be damp? Internal employees secretly leave a little salt, but they have to let the salt go.

If the weight remains unchanged, salt must be used to absorb moisture and make up for the loss in weight.

Not to mention salt, but biscuits, the bags are deliberately not sealed. As long as the opening is opened, a box of biscuits can weigh from one to two kilograms when wet. Therefore, many people buy biscuits that are not heavy.

Crispy, a little soft. Even the twists are like this.

But this kind of consumers will definitely suffer, but since this is a one-man business now, consumers have to recognize whether it is good or bad.

Small tricks are common in these places, but they are certainly not money-losing.

The fourth master then asked, "The non-staple food must not be damaged. Is the problem with the department store?"

Yes! "I don't know how it happened. There is a piece of cloth and a box of towels missing." Director Zhou said, "Last month we made a profit of ten yuan, and there is no problem with the accounts. This is where the problem lies.

It's been a month. Ordinarily, there is no possibility of it being stolen! But this batch of goods is wrong! These few people, except you, all live behind the unit. Everyone has the same yard, and they can come in and out.

...I don’t want to doubt anyone, but what should I do if I lose 230?"

This is doing business! If there is an overflow or a loss, you have to report it to the superiors. If you lose this much in one month, you can't explain it to the superiors! You can only leave the accounts aside and find a way to make up for it.

The fourth master said, "I can't tell you exactly what day it was lost?"

"That's right! We take inventory every day, and there are no fixed people doing the inventory... I don't know if it's due to carelessness or something else, but I just didn't notice that a piece of cloth and a box of towels were missing. Isn't that weird?!"

This statement is very dishonest! In the final analysis, it is nothing more than five words - management is not strict.

According to the process, the goods should be checked. But the department store is there, and these items are not sold as fast as non-staple food, so the inventory is just a casual one. No one will seriously count them one by one.

The rules and regulations are in compliance. Every day, there must be a list of the contents, names, prices and quantities of the goods. Non-staple food is sold every day, so how much sugar is left and how much salt is left are all counted.

It’s very detailed. But department stores only occasionally record what items are sold. Especially during busy farming seasons, the sales volume of these items is less. Last month, I sold a few buttons, two feet of elastic bands, and a few rolls of sewing thread. What about you?

Say, does this have any value in counting?

When taking inventory, I must have asked: "What has been sold in the department store?"

If there is no sale, the numbers on the previous day's form will be copied to the next form.

If you sell it, just count the items and that's it.

I finished filling it out early and got off work early!

Then this led to the loss of a piece of cloth and a box of towels, which were not discovered in time.

This is a management issue, and Director Zhou must be responsible. If this thing is reported to the authorities, he, the director, will never be able to do it again.

Director Zhou's embarrassment is: first, he can't call the police. This alarm has alerted his superiors, and he is still responsible; second, he can't ask everyone to share the loss equally. The two hundred and thirty yuan has to be shared equally among the five people on duty.

stall, then each person has to spend 46 yuan to build it! This is more than a month's salary, and with this money, you can give your wife a bride price and marry her. Then who would be willing! If someone really stole it, that person would steal it.

Laugh. Others won’t give up.

The Fourth Master then asked, "What do you mean? How do you want to deal with it?"

"I was wondering if you could investigate this matter privately since you are at the police station and you are familiar with the situation."

The Fourth Master nodded, "We can check privately, but it's probably difficult to get results. We can't say when it was lost, right? Even if we find out, is it definitely there? Does the person who stole this have the money to make up for it? Is this loss still worth it?

It’s up to us.”

That’s the truth!

Director Zhou took out his cigarette and asked, "What do you think we should do about this matter?"

"Unless next month, we can make this money back and even out the account."

But this is not easy said. Director Zhou said, "Unless we sell more things. But when we sell things, where do they come from, and we have to purchase them from above! Our goods are distributed, and there are accounts for the incoming and outgoing. And the prices are fixed.

Damn it, how much goods will be taken next month, how much profit should be recorded in the account, these are all fixed amounts, and they cannot make up for this month's deficit."

The fourth master said, "Then we can bring in other goods from outside and make a profit from selling them to make up for this shortfall. I think other sub-stations do the same thing! It's just that our commune is big and has never suffered any losses.

Time, right?"

Yes! The key is, who can guarantee that you will make money by purchasing goods from elsewhere?

The fourth master said, "In this case, let's first purchase a cart of red dates in the name of the unit..."

They are available in every yard, and it’s just the time for the dates to fall. Instead of dry red dates, today’s red dates still have some crispy texture. This fruit is so rare these days, and the red dates are just as easy to sell as they are.

"You can keep the account and don't pay for it first, and then you can pay everyone."
