The tailor quickly calculated the bill, took the cloth coupons and money given by Shen Changan, counted them again, and finally returned part of it.
"That's enough, there's still more. This gentleman has just become a father, right? Your child is so lucky to have a father like you!"
The tailor was very good at talking, but Shen Changan was a little embarrassed.
He responded with a bit of embarrassment. He didn't know if he was a father or not, but those two kids were really cute. He felt like he got along really well with them and liked them very much.
Shen Changan gave the cloth coupons and money. It was still early, so he thought about it and went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
Shen Changan had worked in the supply and marketing cooperative before, and many people here knew him.
As soon as Shen Changan entered, he was warmly received.
"It's Shen Changan, what brings you here?"
"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm here to buy milk powder. Is it in stock now?"
Shen Changan was not polite and took the initiative to tell the purpose of his visit as soon as he entered.
"If someone else comes, they definitely won't have it. But since you're here to buy it, you'll have to have it even if it's not available!"
The salesperson took out two cans of milk powder from under the cabinet.
Milk powder is in very short supply, with only a very small amount arriving each time, and is usually sold to acquaintances.
Shen Changan had worked here before and had a good relationship with them. Everyone vaguely knew something about Shen Changan's identity, so they respected him very much.
"Only two cans? Can you give me some more?"
Jiang Li has two children, and the two cans of milk powder will be gone soon.
"These are the last two cans. I originally promised to keep them for old customers, but now that I see you're here, I'm giving them to you in advance."
Milk powder is always sold out and the salesperson is helpless.
Shen Changan nodded in understanding and bought another bottle.
Shen Changan buying milk powder can be understood as drinking it for himself, but what is the purpose of buying a milk bottle?
"Shen Changan, are you married? When did you become a father?"
The salesperson was very surprised. Shen Changan had good conditions and he had never heard that he had a partner when he worked in the supply and marketing cooperative.
It hasn't been long since he returned, and suddenly he's married and has children.
And if she remembered correctly, Shen Changan lived in the provincial capital, right?
Someone of his status and position should have married and had children in the provincial capital, so why would he come to Baiyun Town to buy milk powder?
The more the salesperson thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong and the whole thing didn't make sense.
"No, a friend of mine just gave birth. Knowing that I used to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, she asked me to buy some milk powder and bottles."
In order to make the matter go away, Shen Changan had to lie again.
The saleswoman nodded after listening to this, and this explanation made sense.
Shen Changan quickly paid the bill. He originally wanted to buy something else, but now he had to leave early because of embarrassment.
Before leaving, Shen Changan did not forget to add, "Please save some milk powder for me later. I need about 6 to 8 cans every month."
"The baby can't eat so much milk powder."
The supply and marketing cooperative purchases a maximum of 100 cans of milk powder each month, and Shen Changan has to reserve 6 to 8 cans for herself, and she needs so much every month, which is really too much for her.
"I need so much milk powder. My friend's wife gave birth to twins."
Shen Changan could only explain, but the saleswoman still shook her head.
"Our supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have that much stock, I'm afraid we can't meet your needs."
Shen Changan had worked here before and knew the actual situation of the supply and marketing cooperative. The eldest sister did not embarrass him and what she said was all true.
"Then leave me 4 cans every time they arrive."
The eldest sister was still a little embarrassed. She was not sure if she could do it, and she did not dare to promise what she could not do.
The main reason is that there are too many people asking her to buy milk powder, but the supply is so limited that she really doesn’t know how to distribute it.
"Forget it, it seems you are really in a difficult situation. I will go talk to the president."
Shen Changan turned and went upstairs. The eldest sister looked at his back and wanted to say something, but in the end she did not stop him.
Shen Changan came to the president's office on the 2nd floor. The president knew some of his real situation. When he saw Shen Changan coming, he was much more enthusiastic than the saleswoman downstairs.
"Changan, what brings you here? Come and sit down quickly. Uncle will make you some tea."
"Uncle, no need for tea. I came here this time because I have something to ask of you."
Shen Changan was in a hurry to go back to class in a while, and didn't have much free time to waste outside.
He is an acquaintance of the president, so there is no need for so many formalities.
"What's the matter?"
The president still made tea, and Shen Changan took a sip politely, then started talking about things.
"Here's the thing. My friend's wife recently gave birth and is running low on milk. She asked me to help her buy milk powder. She wants to buy 4 to 6 cans of powdered milk every month. I wonder if you could help me with this?"
"Four to six cans of formula every month? This kid's pretty big, and he's a big drinker. It's definitely not possible for others, but it's certainly possible for you!"
"How about this, I'll find a way to leave you six cans of milk powder every month, and you just come and pick them up on the 30th of every month."
The president was very straightforward. Shen Changan only wanted 4 to 6 cans, so he gave him six cans directly.
Shen Changan knew that the president had done his best to help him, so he naturally had no other opinions.
"Thank you, President. I'm currently a teacher at school and have to go back to teach soon, so I won't be staying here long. I'll come visit you again when I have the chance."
Shen Changan bought the milk powder, and his future milk powder was also settled. He was anxious to go back to class, so he immediately stood up and said goodbye.
The president originally wanted to keep him for lunch, but seeing that he had important things to do, he didn't try to keep him.
"I won't keep you here today. Let's have dinner together next time we have a chance."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Shen Changan saw that the time was almost up, so he left with the milk powder and bottle.
It was too late to go back to the dormitory at this time. Shen Changan brought these things to school. He picked up the lesson plan he had made yesterday and stood up to tidy up his clothes.
Shen Changan came to the classroom and saw Jiang Yi in the crowd at a glance.
Although Jiang Yi is thin, he sits in the most central position in the class. With his straight back and upright attitude towards study, people can't help but look at him a few more times.
It really is a small body with great energy.
In the classroom, Shen Changan still taught various mathematical knowledge in an interesting way.
The children's math scores have steadily improved in a joyful atmosphere. Everyone actively interacts in class and when they encounter difficult problems, they directly ask Jiang Yi to help. This has become a tacit understanding.
Shen Changan always calculated the time for class accurately and left school as soon as the bell rang.
He never stays late, and students always feel unsatisfied after finishing his class.
This time, Shen Changan did not leave directly after class like before. Instead, he took the initiative to walk to Jiang Yi and said to him in a low voice: "Jiang Yi, let's have lunch together. I have something to ask you."
