Chapter 248 The World is Wonderful

Who was the one who grew up naked with me?

How come I didn't know about this person? His voice sounded familiar.

As Wang Deming stepped over the threshold of the courtyard carrying the phoenix-headed cart, he saw Yin Jiayou with one hand on his waist, pointing at the mountains and rivers, spitting everywhere, and boasting to the He brothers and sisters: "When your uncle Deming first came to the city, he was so shabby. The clothes he wore were like a beggar's, with patches on top of patches."

"But I could tell at a glance that this man was a man of great stature and potential, and he would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future! I immediately took off my clothes and put them on him. What is this called undressing?"

"Undress and clothe him; push food and feed him."

"Ah, yes! That's exactly what happened! At the beginning, I had a piece of venison in my bowl, and I gave it to him directly. It was the meat of a young venison that was less than half a year old! As expected, he learns everything quickly. As long as he takes a look at something, he can do it immediately. For example, he sews clothes, and he makes them very beautifully. Many young girls and wives in the surrounding area have asked him to do it."

"Really? Are those beautiful sisters in the inner courtyard that way?" "You're talking about Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right?" The siblings He Kangzhan and He Jiefang were fooled and half-believing and half-doubting. They asked different questions with different focuses.

"That's it."

"cough!"

"Deming, you're back? Come with me, my dad is waiting for you to drink at home."

Yin Jiayou is one year older than Wang Deming. He is 22 years old this year. He has shaved the hair above his lips and his chin cleanly, but he still has a round face and is fat. Today he even wore a Zhongshan suit and oiled his hair, looking a little more energetic than usual.

"Wait a moment." Wang Deming slowly parked his bicycle, circled around him twice, and said with a tut-tut sound, "Take off your clothes and put them on, and push the food and eat it?"

"Okay, give me your outfit today!" As she said this, she pretended to unbutton his collar.

"No! No! Hehe." Yin Jiayou immediately smiled and begged for mercy, "This one doesn't look good today, I'll make you a brighter one another day. My dad was commissioned by the government to go to Shanghai and bring back a few old tailors, who are staying at our house now. Hey, the dresses they make are very authentic."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me, something is wrong with you today!"

"No, I said it, isn't it? Well, what?" Yin Jiayou's chubby round face suddenly turned red, and he said shyly, "Didn't my family arrange a marriage for me? I just went to meet the other party today."

"Oh," Wang Deming suddenly became curious, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Who is the other party from? Are you attracted to each other?"

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of the Jinyu Zhou family in Chaoyangmen. Although her family conditions are not good and she has suffered a lot since she was a child, in addition to helping with housework, she also has to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, but she is a very straightforward person."

Hmm? The Zhou family that sold goldfish outside Chaoyangmen? Wang Deming suddenly remembered something and asked again to confirm: "The boss of the Zhou family that sold goldfish before liberation?"

Yin Jiayou's fat face suddenly froze, and he asked in astonishment: "Yes, you know?"

"Haha, how could I not know? When I was digging the pond in the east wing of No. 18 Qinlao Hutong, I specially asked someone to buy goldfish from the Zhou family." Wang Deming laughed and made up an excuse.

"Oh, no wonder." A smile appeared on Yin Jiayou's fat face again, and he was eager to tell his impression of the girl from the Zhou family. "Let me tell you, she..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Wang Deming interrupted him. This guy looked so horny that he probably forgot about his father Yin Changrong inviting him to dinner. He quickly told He Kangzhan and He Jiefang, who were still listening to the gossip, "Either you two have dinner at home and then go to Yongkang Hutong to find Alexei, or go home early after dinner?"

Pointing at Yin Jiayou, "I have something to do today." "Uncle Wang, your business is more important, you don't have to worry about us, we will go home directly later."

"That's fine." He Kangzhan and his sister were impressed by Wang Deming before, and after listening to Yin Jiayou's bragging today, they admired him even more. A poor boy from a rural area, who could not even get enough food, now has his own courtyard and can chat and laugh with the big-nosed Soviet man.

"Let's go. Don't keep Uncle Chang Rong waiting too long." After saying that, he took the bicycle out of the yard again and rode all the way to Ganyu Hutong.

This world is so wonderful. Wang Deming thought of something that happened a long time ago.

When he and his sister Yan Baozhen moved into the east wing of the front yard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, his sister was trying to introduce a partner to Sha Zhu, and the candidate seemed to be the eldest son of the Goldfish Zhou family outside Chaoyangmen.

It was said at the beginning that although the eldest daughter of the Goldfish Zhou family was a girl, she was efficient and capable in doing things and could definitely control Sha Zhu. Unfortunately, Sha Zhu did not have this blessing.

There has been no change in the new clothing store in Ganyu Hutong. The sign of public-private partnership has not yet been hung. When I entered the innermost three courtyards, I saw a few middle-aged men who were about 40 years old and not tall. When I met them, they greeted me and said: Hello.

After a brief exchange of politeness, Wang Deming entered the north room and met Yin Changrong. He then asked, "Uncle Changrong, are those tailors in the yard the ones you hired from Shanghai?"

Yin Changrong stood up from the table and gestured with his hand, saying, "Yes, haha, they are all honest craftsmen. I went to Shanghai to invite them on behalf of the government. Isn't the Wangfujing Department Store about to open? They are very good at making Western clothes. Come and sit down."

"Uncle Chang Rong, please take a seat too." After Wang Deming sat down, he asked in confusion, "Since it was the government's invitation, why didn't they arrange accommodation for them?"

"I have arranged it, but you know where there is a suitable place now? I can only arrange it in the store. I have a lot of houses at home, so I just let them move in."

"Oh" Wang Deming didn't know if Yin Changrong would regret his decision today in the future. Maybe not, but Yin Jiayou would definitely regret it. Others who moved into this house would not leave.

"Deming, let's drink and chat." Yin Changrong raised his glass first, took a sip, and then took a bite of food. He said, "I originally wanted to go to Yongkang Hutong to find you directly, but I was worried about being seen, so I asked Jiayou to go to your house to invite you."

"Uncle Chang Rong, look at what you said. Why don't you just call the steel mill? I can come directly after get off work."

"Hey, I know you have a lot of things to do. You work during the day, and you might have something to do at night. It would be better if Jiayou came to see you in person. If you have something to do, we can change the time." Yin Changrong said very politely, and then he told the purpose of inviting Wang Deming to his home this time: "Deming, this is it."

Yin Changrong had long wanted to apply for public-private partnership for his clothing store, but the government hoped to integrate all the businesses in Wangfujing, such as the department store that was about to open. The government had always disagreed with his application, saying that the scale was too small.

In fact, he had known about the regulations on public-private partnerships in the Masses Daily very early on. After all, he was the chairman of the Wangfujing Garment Association in Beijing, and he had held discussions in the CPPCC.

But the problem is that there are still many businesses in Wangfujing that are unwilling to engage in public-private partnerships, and he was unable to convince these people even after holding private meetings with them.

Seeing that the regulations and policies on public-private partnership had been published in the newspapers, but his own clothing store had not yet been able to carry out the public-private partnership, he was a little anxious, so he specially asked Wang Deming to come and ask for advice.

"This is difficult! The regulations clearly state that one of the clauses is that the capitalists are willing to participate. Why are they still unwilling to take the initiative to cooperate?"

Wang Deming was also very puzzled. The government had already monopolized the purchase and sale of cotton and cloth, so why couldn't these people understand this?
