"Alright, alright, just tell us what's on your mind. There's no need to be polite with us. Over the years, you and Xiaoyu have been the closest people to each other, and you've taken such good care of her. In your uncle's and my hearts, you're no different from our own child."
Zhu Qinghao refused, insisting that Zhou Huilan first agree to buy her job for a thousand yuan before she would talk.
Zhou Huilan and her husband exchanged a smile and finally reluctantly agreed.
Zhu Qinghao wasn't just saying that to appease them; she genuinely needed Xiang Zhendong's help, and it was a favor only Xiang Zhendong could offer.
"Uncle Xiang, it's like this, my family and I are going to the countryside. The environment there is definitely not comparable to that of Kyoto, and winter is coming soon. The place we are going to will probably be very cold."
I was thinking, could Uncle Xiang help me purchase a batch of supplies from the supply and marketing cooperative? The more the better. Money isn't a problem, but I might not have a lot of receipts on hand. I'll have to go back and check later.
As the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, this question was simple for Xiang Zhendong, and he agreed after a little thought.
"That's no problem. As for the ticket issue, my suggestion is that for some conspicuous items, such as clothing and fabrics, you can look at the defective products. I have the right to sell these to you without a ticket."
As for the other items that require tickets, we'll see how many we're short and then figure out a way to exchange them.
Zhu Qinghao originally wanted to buy the defective product, not because she was unwilling to spend the money, but because she had other considerations. It's better for someone who has been demoted to a lower level to keep a low profile.
"Okay, Uncle. It's better to keep a low profile in the countryside, so use defective products if possible, as long as they don't affect the use of the product."
"Yes, that's what I meant too. You can make a list later, and I'll see how much I can give you. Some things might not be available, and if they're not, you might have to go to the department store to check."
After frowning and thinking for a while, he asked Zhendong a question:
"Alright, alright, with so much stuff, it's probably not easy to store it all, nor is it easy to take it all with us."
Zhu Qinghao, having anticipated this, replied without hesitation:
"Put it in Grandpa Chen's yard first, and then I'll arrange a car to transport it directly to him."
Hearing her say that, Xiang Zhendong nodded, only asking for the address and key to the small courtyard, and didn't ask any more questions.
...
After discussing the issue of supplies, Zhu Qinghao turned her attention to Zhou Huilan.
"Auntie, there's another thing I'd like to ask you for help with."
Zhou Huilan was extremely straightforward:
"Hey, just tell me, whatever you want. I won't refuse to help if it's within my power."
Zhu Qing smiled gratefully and then stated her needs.
"Auntie, I would like to ask you to help me exchange more national receipts, the more the better. As I said before, money is not a problem."
After listening, Zhou Huilan smiled and said:
"Sure, I just thought of that. Don't worry about it, I've got this covered!"
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!"
"You child, you're being so polite to us..."
