Chapter 144: When Do You Have Milk (Added for the reward of the perverted seed sauce)
Seeing that the godmother was really angry, he hurriedly begged for mercy and told the story and thoughts.
After listening, Director Wang sighed in the chair and said: "You, there is no quiet time. It's also a recycling station. You know to come here and ask in advance. Now this child has brought it home without even telling the family. I'm really afraid that you will be a cat one day and a dog one day. How do you live yourself?"
Li Li Xuewu also sighed and said: "What can I do? At that time, someone had to stand up and take responsibility, otherwise the three of us would be the scapegoats for this matter."
"Why is it you who stand up? The godmother is not blaming you for being kind, but you are too reckless. What if there is any involvement here? What should you do?"
Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "That old man in the foreign affairs department was yin and yang, and his questions were hooked. I was also scared after returning home, and I only figured it out after returning home."
Seeing that Li Li Xuewu could listen, Director Wang said: "It's good to figure it out. Learn from your mistakes. Think about your family when you do anything in the future."
As she spoke, she took out an introduction letter from the drawer and handed it to Li Li Xuewu.
"Your father and mother took the child to my house the night before yesterday. You really scared your father and mother. I have never seen you so insensible. I have checked for you, the child is fine. If the people from the foreign affairs department come, let them see them. Don't be fierce. If they don't tell you what's going on, don't ask. Live your life peacefully, no one can move you."
Seeing Li Li Xuewu take the introduction letter, she added: "You came to ask me for milk tickets, right? Your father and mother asked for you. I originally planned to go to your house tonight to block you and beat you up to solve the hatred. Seeing that you are still sensible, I will remember this beating first. Take the introduction letter to Old Zhang at the door to buy milk tickets. He manages them for the milk station."
It seemed his godmother also knew about some of the child's affairs. Li Li Xuewu had heard a word about it from Father Gu when he was at the Gu residence but didn't ask for details. Now that his godmother said it was fine, he wouldn't ask any further; asking would be a mistake, and his godmother wouldn't tell him anyway.
Li Li Xuewu said sheepishly: "Mom, I've made you worry."
"You'd better make me worry less in the future! Don't go causing any more trouble for me!" As she walked Li Li Xuewu out, she pinched his arm and gave it a hard twist while saying fiercely.
Li Li Xuewu bared his teeth and pretended to be in great pain, pleading for mercy: "I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Get lost, don't be an eyesore here. Remember to maintain good relations with the neighbors in the future. The trash talk has already reached my ears. I've already had your parents go back and explain it to the people in the courtyard. Our Foreign Affairs Department has given you a commendation for righteous action, and it's already been posted on the bulletin board."
Red Star Primary School is a primary school for children of the rolling mill, and it is also a school built by the local government, so the school building is produced by the street, and the funds are produced by the rolling mill.
Knowing that his parents had joined forces with his godmother to clean up his mess, he was moved beyond words. He gave his godmother a salute and headed toward the duty room.
Entering the duty room, he saw the old gatekeeper fiddling with walnuts; Li Li Xuewu didn't bother him as he entered.
Li Li Xuewu was the type to get familiar quickly; he would adopt whatever attitude was appropriate. By now, he was already teasing the cat the old man kept on the desk.
Li Li Xuewu was agile; after teasing it twice, he pinched the cat by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, and took a careful look.
"Old man, this 'Snow-Covered Spear' of yours is not bad, especially this spear..."
Seeing that this brat wasn't just teasing him but also tormenting his cat, the gatekeeper couldn't keep up his stoic act anymore. Furthermore, this brat had a wicked tongue—talking about 'spears' and such, he dared to say anything.
"Put it down, put it down quickly! What exactly do you want to do? You want to order milk, right? Come, come, come, give me Director Wang's introduction letter. I'll process it for you now; once it's done, get lost immediately."
Li Li Xuewu chuckled and continued to eye the cat, saying: "No rush. This cat is quite good, very suitable for me to raise. You..."
"No way, don't even think about it, go stay over there."
The old gatekeeper waved his hand, stood up, glared, and cut off Li Li Xuewu's words with a triple refusal.
He snatched the introduction letter from Li Li Xuewu's hand, pulled a milk card out of the desk drawer, wrote Li Li Xuewu's name on it, stamped it with a red seal with a 'thud', and shoved it at Li Li Xuewu.
He then snatched the 'Snow-Covered Spear', whose soul had been gripped, from Li Li Xuewu's hand and held it in his arms to soothe it.
"The milk coupons are all for half a jin, two cents five each. How many do you want?"
Li Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said: "Give me 10 yuan's worth; that should be enough for a while."
Milk at this time was truly cheap if you could call it cheap, but it was really hard to get; ordinary families really couldn't get their hands on it.
Old Man Zhang took out a large box, picked out 4 bundles of milk coupons, made a registration in his notebook, handed the coupons to Li Li Xuewu, and said: "See that milk crate at the door? Take one yourself and get out of here quickly. Stop coming here to torment me."
Taking the coupons, he looked at them. The coupons were printed with "Eastern City Milk Supply Office," below which was a diamond-shaped official seal of the supply office. On the left, it said "Half Jin," and on the right, it said "Milk."
Li Li Xuewu stuck out his rear, picked a sturdy milk crate, held it in his hand, and asked: "Old man, when do you have milk?"
"I don't have milk at any time, damn it. Do you want some urine instead?" Old Man Zhang was driven to distraction by Li Li Xuewu. He had been practicing his 'cultivation of temperament' for over ten years, but every time he encountered this troublemaker, his defenses were broken.
Old Man Zhang turned his head away without looking at Li Li Xuewu and said: "After 6:30 in the morning and before 9:00. First come, first served. If you're late, there's none."
Li Li Xuewu placed a box of Zhonghua cigarettes on the desk and chuckled: "Our family will definitely come to pick up milk every day. Remember to save some for me. If I don't get any, I'll squeeze some milk out of that 'Snow-Covered Spear'."
Li Li Xuewu ran off as soon as he finished speaking, truly afraid the old man would lose his temper and hit him with the cat.
Old Man Zhang had originally forgiven the kid for the time being after seeing the unopened box of Zhonghua cigarettes, but he hadn't expected the kid to dare threaten him. He had a mind to hit him with the cat, but he couldn't bear to part with the cat, so he thought better of it.
Li Li Xuewu happily kicked his motorcycle to life and rode out the gate under Old Man Zhang's glaring gaze.
The box of cigarettes Li Li Xuewu gave wasn't a loss; not everyone could buy so many milk coupons at once.
Moreover, this Old Man Zhang was quite stubborn; he was a man with no descendants and was usually indifferent to everyone. When he was a child and got disciplined or had to stand on the street, it was always this man watching him from the doorway without saying a word. If he didn't tease him like this, the man wouldn't say a word to him all day.
*Sword of Coming*
He was just like the saying, "three strikes can't knock a fart out of him," but Li Li Xuewu was his nemesis. In the past, he had engaged in many battles of wits and courage just to escape.
After leaving the gate, Li Li Xuewu rode directly to the police station where the neighborhood office was located; the few tasks for this afternoon were all "on the way."
Even if they weren't on the way, they had to be. He couldn't be the one to say official vehicles couldn't be used for private business and then be the first to break the rules himself.
Entering the alley, he parked the vehicle directly in the courtyard. Shen Fang, who saw Li Li Xuewu ride his motorcycle into the courtyard from the window, waved at him.
"Li Suoer is here."
"Hello, Li Suoer."
