Chapter 134: A trivial matter
The third grade was coming to an end in the blink of an eye. On the afternoon of June 26, Huang Han, who had finished his final exam, followed Cheng Wenge to the joint transportation company.
Huang Han found Cheng's father on business. He had written down on paper the things his family wanted to buy in Shanghai, including rice cookers, oxygen pumps, toilets, squat toilets and even sketches.
He was also worried that there might be something that Cheng's father didn't know what it was, and Cheng Wenge couldn't explain it clearly, so he came to see Cheng's father to explain it to him face to face.
Fortunately, Dad Cheng was a soldier near Shanghai, and he was an automobile soldier. He had seen the bathrooms and public toilets in military sanatoriums, and knew what toilets and squat toilets were.
It's just that he has never heard of electric rice cookers and is not sure whether there are any in Shanghai.
Huang Han remembers the first rice cooker his family owned. He probably bought it in 1988 or so.
At that time, Qinhuangzhen Electrical Appliance Factory became a cooperative unit of Guangdong's Triangle brand rice cookers. It accepted their quality supervision and also OEMed the Triangle brand rice cookers.
Qinhuangzhen Electrical Appliance Factory is a cooperative unit of Huang Han's unit, so I bought a rice cooker at the ex-factory price, which cost less than 80 yuan, which is almost a month's salary.
All in all, electrical appliances at that time were really expensive compared to wages! Houses were really cheap.
At that time, the Triangle brand rice cookers were overwhelmingly popular, possibly accounting for more than half of the domestic rice cooker market.
I once heard a buyer from Qinhuangzhen Electrical Appliance Factory brag about the cooperative units in Guangdong.
Therefore, Huang Han knew that Guangdong's Triangle brand rice cookers had been produced as early as 1977. After several technological innovations, product quality was getting better and better.
In 1982, the Triangle brand rice cooker won the provincial and ministerial awards, with an annual output of hundreds of thousands, making it a well-known brand product.
It is the summer of 1981. Logically speaking, Shanghai, the largest city in China, should have a Triangle brand rice cooker!
The reason Huang Han wanted to buy a rice cooker was because cooking with honeycomb briquettes is time-consuming and laborious and can easily burn. Using an electric rice cooker can save time and improve labor efficiency.
He clearly explained the brand and place of production to Dad Cheng, and he also had a sketch. Dad Cheng finally understood that cooking with this thing does not require anyone to watch and it is impossible to burn the rice, and he became interested.
Dad Cheng said that not only would he bring one to Huang Han's family, he would also buy one for his own family.
It doesn't matter if it's not in Shanghai. The intermodal transport company has the opportunity to go south. At worst, it's better to send someone to Guangzhou to buy it. As long as the store has the Triangle brand rice cooker, it can be brought back in a month.
Dad Cheng is a warm-hearted man. Knowing that Huang Han's family was planning to become self-employed and open a store, he not only stated that it would be a trivial matter to bring some things from Shanghai, but also asked Huang Han's family if they had enough capital?
When people ask this, the implication is of course that they can lend some money to their own families.
Huang Han did not refuse the kindness and said
"Uncle, my family spent a thousand yuan to buy a house and furniture. My father also wants to repair the house, which will cost a lot of money. The family's money may not be enough."
Father Cheng said boldly, "If you have any difficulties, ask your father to tell me. You can get three to five hundred at any time. If you need a thousand or eight hundred, I can get it in two or three days!"
"Okay! Thank you uncle! I'll go back and tell my dad so that he can relax and don't have to worry about not having enough money. I have you as my strong backing, uncle!"
"Yes, that's it! To be honest, I'm really optimistic about your store selling thirteen-flavored crayfish. It will definitely make money! You have to let me know when it opens, and I will definitely join in the fun and set off firecrackers."
"Absolutely!"
Chengwenge was overjoyed to see his father take the initiative to borrow money to help Huang Han's family open a store, and suddenly said
"Dad, I will definitely be able to improve by five points in this final exam, and I will definitely become classmates with Huang Han in the fourth grade!"
Uh! Huang Han is convinced! This kid's thinking is really fast.
I was talking to his father about capital and the opening of a delicatessen, and it was really shocking when he suddenly started talking about division of classes.
Cheng's father swore to Chengwen Pavilion, but he felt a little embarrassed when his son mentioned it because he hadn't gone to the Education Bureau or Experimental Primary School to ask for help yet!
Cheng's father said, "Don't worry, I'll find someone tonight, and no matter what I do, I'll get you to be in the same class as Huang Han!"
"That's great!" Chengwenge actually jumped up with joy!
Huang Han didn't understand and asked, "Uncle, what's the big deal if Chengwenge and I are in the same class? Why are you still looking for a relationship?"
"You don't understand this. With your grades, you should definitely be admitted to the fast class. I'm afraid my Chengwenge can only be admitted to the ordinary class. He won't be able to be in the same class with you unless he finds someone."
"Uncle, there is no need to find anyone for this matter. I will definitely be in the same class as Cheng Wenge."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. I will report to whichever class Cheng Wenge is assigned to. I don't believe his class teacher will not want me?"
"Ah? This, this, this sounds like it will work!"
After all, Dad Cheng is an adult and a cadre who often travels outside. How can he be less experienced?
Huang Han's grades have ranked among the best in the whole grade. Of course he can choose his class. After Chengwen Pavilion was assigned to the ordinary class, Huang Han asked to be admitted to this class. The class teacher must have asked for it.
Huang Han emphasized, "Uncle, it should definitely work! Principal Zhu likes me and knows the situation of Chengwen Pavilion.
I also wrote an essay about our story, which will probably be published in the July issue of "Youth Literature and Art".
I think the school will fully consider this actual situation and should not separate us!
If the school does not consider this issue, as long as I insist on being in the same class as Cheng Wenge and express my position, I can continue to help Cheng Wenge achieve common progress.
For such a legitimate reason, the school should praise it, how can it possibly object?"
This is definitely not what Huang Han takes for granted. This year, the country began to promote the Five Stresses and Four Beauties, and the central government held another meeting to emphasize the spirit of learning from examples.
If Huang Han gave up entering the fast class in order to help his classmates, this would be a realistic version of the role model spirit.
It is very possible to not only get support from the school, but also to be set up as a role model for learning.
The school didn’t know that Huang Han was actually not that noble, he was just reciprocating the favor!
Dad Cheng's eyes widened in surprise, and then he burst into laughter and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense, there is really no need to rely on connections, hahaha... Chengwenge, why didn't you mention that Huang Han included you in the composition?"
inside?"
"Dad, I think I told you that! You probably didn't pay attention!"
"I definitely didn't say that. If you said that an essay with your name on it could be published in "Youth Literature", I would definitely keep it in my heart."
"Oh! Maybe I didn't say that Huang Han's essay would be published!"
"Yes! This is the point! Hahaha..., you must remember, you must buy the "Youth Literature" with your name on it, I must read it carefully. Haha..."
He is so happy to be a father. He can't stop laughing. It's a lot of trouble to find a relationship and he rarely asks for help. Now he can fulfill his son's wish without asking for help. Of course he is sincerely happy.
He enthusiastically persuaded Huang Han to eat in the canteen of the joint transportation company and planned to let the chef cook some delicious dishes to entertain Huang Han.
Huang Han refused to eat here because his parents didn't know he came to the joint transportation company.
The joint transportation company was a bit far away from Huang Han's home, so of course Chengwen Pavilion wanted to send Huang Han home. The two of them walked onto the main road with their backs to the setting sun.
