Chapter 103 Using Backdoors
Ju Wen, a girl from the 1970s, is quite different from girls today.
She was a little shy when Lu Yao suddenly grabbed her hand.
He quickly pulled her back, saying, "What are you doing, Lu Yao? There are so many people here."
Lu Yao smiled and didn't let go: "I saw you were scared just now, so I held your hand and walked with you. From now on, when I'm with you, don't be afraid of anything!"
Ju Wen snorted: "Who's afraid? I'm a state cadre. If they dare to touch me, they're asking for trouble."
Ju Wen was just too embarrassed to admit that she was actually a little scared just now.
Even if the perpetrator is caught afterward, it's still shameful for a young woman to be beaten up.
As they talked, their hands naturally came together.
Ju Wen peeked at Lu Yao, who was looking straight ahead and walking towards the parking lot, seemingly without any other intention.
Even without looking at Ju Wen, Lu Yao knew that she was trying to figure him out.
He casually held her hand and chatted with her.
Ju Wen didn't forcefully shake her off.
I just looked around, afraid of running into someone I knew from work.
Her heart was racing, and she didn't even know why she didn't have the courage to shake off Lu Yao's hand.
Unfortunately, the road wasn't long; after walking another twenty meters or so, we reached the parking area.
After picking up the bicycle, Ju Wen said:
"Let's go to the grain store. I'll buy you some fine grains and then you can go back."
"Okay, you carry me or I carry you?"
Lu Yao originally wanted Ju Wen to carry him on her back, and then he would pinch her slender waist from behind and do some ambiguous little things to disturb the beautiful secretary's heart.
Picking up girls now is different from doing it in the future; it requires a gradual, slow and steady approach.
It shouldn't be too frivolous or direct.
First win her heart, then capture her body.
If I can win over Sister Ju Wen, my future path will be much smoother.
But Ju Wen refused to ride: "You carry me instead, I'm afraid I'll make you fall."
Ju Wen is also strong-willed, but she's quite different from Ding Mei.
She wasn't as outspoken as Ding Mei; she was much more composed.
There are so many beautiful women, each with a unique style!
Lu Yao climbed into the car, and Ju Wen sat down beside him.
This time, the hand holding Lu Yao tightened its grip even more.
As he walked out, he turned back and said to Ju Wen:
"Sister Wenwen, after I've finished fighting the wolves, I'll treat you to a movie when you have time."
Ju Wen nodded generously: "Okay, work hard. Once you've achieved some success, I'll introduce you to a nice girl from the county as a boyfriend!"
Lu Yao laughed heartily: "Then she'd better be as pretty as you, sister, otherwise I don't want her!"
"loquacious!"
Ju Wen punched Lu Yao.
At this moment, Ju Wen's heart was pounding.
To be honest, she really liked Lu Yao.
However, family background must also be taken into account.
Even if she wanted to date this godbrother, her father would definitely not agree.
That day, when Lu Yao recognized Ju Zhenghua as his godfather, Ju Zhenghua was actually quite reluctant.
Ju Zhenghua was a little excited because Lu Yao's prophecy came true that day and saved Ju Wen's mother's life.
On the way back, he told Ju Wen that he had been a bit rash.
I shouldn't get too close to this country kid.
We arrived at the No. 5 Grain Store in Nanguan District.
Today is Sunday, and people are lining up to buy grain.
They held food ration books and sacks in their hands, while the oil seller carried an oil bottle.
Each family only received a few catties of soybean oil per month, so meat coupons were used to buy fat and lard.
You have to pull strings to buy fatty meat.
Lu Yao didn't have a food ration book, and he didn't know if Ju Wen's acquaintance had any influence to help him buy some fine grains.
Ju Wen told him to wait at the door, so he waited.
Ju Wen went in through the small back door.
That's the staff entrance; as soon as I said I was looking for Director Lu, they let me in.
After a while, Ju Wen returned with a red grain ration book and a white slip of paper:
"Lu Yao, alright, Director Lu is really giving us face. Let's take this to the team leader at the front and ask him to find us two cloth bags."
Lu Yao still had some doubts.
So many people are queuing up, each buying a little food, holding up their food ration books as if they're waiting for the cashier to give them alms.
Can I just keep this slip of paper?
Before he could speak, Ju Wen had already pulled him into the five-room shop.
Large rice and flour cabinets were laid out before us.
People lined up outside the rice counter, waiting to buy one by one.
When it's your turn, first hand the ration book to the clerk, then put the bag under the tipping scale and wait.
After they've finished weighing it, they lift the scale bucket inside, and with a "whoosh," they pour your grain into your bag, and you can take it away.
Ju Wen did not join the queue.
Instead, they went to find a group leader surnamed Zhang.
Hand him the grain ration book and the director's note.
The group leader glanced at the people in line, then looked at the queue and beckoned Lu Yao over:
"The director gave you twenty catties of wheat flour and twenty catties of rice. You can use this amount of grain, but you have to pay for it yourself."
Lu Yao nodded: "Of course."
Rice costs 18 cents a pound, and standard wheat flour has gone up by 2 cents because it's almost Chinese New Year; it's now 20 cents.
It cost seven dollars and sixty cents in total.
This amount of money was nothing to Lu Yao, but back then, having money but nowhere to buy it meant you were the coolest person around.
The group leader glanced at the people queuing outside and quietly told Lu Yao:
"Give me the money, then wait by the back door. I'll weigh it and bring it out to you."
"it is good."
Lu Yao knew that this was a term that had become popular at the time, called "going through the back door".
It's something done covertly; you can't openly take food in the open.
So they followed Ju Wen to the back.
While waiting, Lu Yao flattered Ju Wen again:
"Sister, you're amazing! It's almost Chinese New Year and everyone wants to buy more refined grains, and you managed to get them for me without any capital! How can I ever thank you enough?"
Ju Wen smiled and rolled her eyes at him:
"Don't give me that. This is a one-time thing; I can't keep begging people like this. Uncle Lu is only doing this because of my dad!"
"It's not always about who your sugar daddy is; you're quite influential yourself. With your looks alone, who would dare refuse you!"
Ju Wen was amused by him.
At this time, it's rare for people to directly compliment a girl's looks to her face.
Ju Wen was secretly delighted to hear this.
Lu Yao wanted to flatter her a few more times, and then take the opportunity to gain some advantage.
At this moment, the group leader surnamed Zhang came out with a bag in each hand.
"Alright, twenty catties each. I'll take the grain ration book back to the director; you can take it."
Lu Yao quickly took them, tied the two bags together in a knot, and placed them on the car beam.
The back seat was left open so that Ju Wen could be carried.
I feel that my relationship with Ju Wen has warmed up now.
If we add a little more fuel to the fire, things might just fall into place naturally.
Having an in-depth conversation with this cultured beauty shouldn't be a problem.
Just then, a series of gongs and drums suddenly sounded.
A group of about a dozen people appeared at the entrance of the alley.
Immediately, the doors of several houses in the alley opened.
Many people excitedly ran out.
They said that some kind of supreme directive was broadcast on the radio.
A group of enthusiastic people nearly pushed Lu Yao into the back door of the grain store.
Ju Wen was being pushed out by the crowd, and this interruption made her more awake.
I feel like I should go back:
"Lu Yao, I don't need you to take me home. I'm going home."
"Huh? You're not coming to the supply and marketing cooperative with me?"
"No, no, I have something to do, so I won't go."
Lu Yao was a little disappointed.
Watching Ju Wen walk back.
Ju Wen was actually very conflicted; she thought about things more than Lu Yao did.
She felt that she was several years older than Lu Yao, and their family backgrounds were very different, so her family couldn't agree to it.
Despite her liking for her, Ju Wen is still very sensible.
Looking back, Lu Yao was still looking at him, and he smiled and said:
"Let's go see a movie another time when you have time!"
"All right."
Lu Yao could only watch her leave before turning back to get into his car.
Little did he know that he had only just begun flirting with a girl, and had only made a move. In fact, although Ju Wen appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil.
Lu Yao massaged his waist, protected her while fighting off the thugs, and held her hand...
These few short hours were more beautiful than anything she had ever experienced in her life.
I'm destined to have insomnia tonight.
Lu Yao rode his bicycle straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
After buying all the fine grains, we still need to buy guns.
Lu Yao had no experience buying guns in his previous life, and didn't know which supply and marketing cooperative had them.
Seeing a sign for the Nanguan District Supply and Marketing Cooperative store not far ahead, I rode my bike over there.
