Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 555 Buying a Truck

The weather begins in late June, and the weather is scorching hot. People who are hot all day long can only wear short sleeves.

Xu Qing returned the money to his second and third brothers, but in the end neither Aiguo nor Fengming wanted them.

Even my younger sister Xiaoya refused to accept it.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing saw that his younger siblings were determined to do this, so he finally gave up.

But he still opened three separate accounts at a savings bank in the city and deposited the money his younger siblings borrowed from him last year.

When younger siblings need money in the future, give them the bankbook directly.

He is the eldest brother, and his younger siblings are grateful to him, and he can appreciate it.

But one thing is another, the younger brother and sister have only been married for a few years, and their lives are going well, but not very good.

Aiguo and Fengming already have their own children, and there will only be more and more places to spend money in the future.

The two of them are factory directors, and their monthly salary is fixed at more than 100 yuan, which is not a small amount.

This saved him from having to ask Er Mazi to practice driving.

But buying is a certainty, and moving out is a certainty.

However, before the Chinese New Year last year, he planned to buy a courtyard house and move out.

However, on second thought, I felt it was inappropriate.

However, until now, I haven't found out which alley near my compound has a compound for sale.

"Qingzi, did you really buy this? Is it really our meat factory's own car?"

"Qingzi, key, buddy, let's go for a spin."

Xiaoya and Jianjun got married not long ago, and they don't have children yet.

As the boss, he does not need to be bound by anyone, nor does he need to report to anyone.

It's just that living in the city requires money everywhere, so it's not much.

Er Mazi held the car door tightly with his right hand, caught the key with his left hand, got into the cab, inserted the key, and started the car skillfully.

The days can be described as leisurely and leisurely.

The trucks at the state-owned meat factory are driven by people in the automobile class. It is impossible for anyone who doesn't care to join the automobile class.

In addition, he is also considering buying a car.

During the day, he was busy working in the meat processing factory and grain station warehouse in the suburbs. At night, he went home to rest after dark.

And this was what he had planned before.

It's like working in Factory No. 3, but in reality it's completely different.

The three industries, the grain station warehouse, the meat factory and the grain station opened in Dongdan, are all his.

The money earned is more than working in a state-owned factory.

Er Mazi's short sleeves were full of dust and there was a layer of dust on his hair. He had just come back from the countryside and was dusty. But he was in good spirits. He excitedly circled the Jiefang truck several times, holding the He took two puffs of the cigarette between his fingers, held it in the corner of his mouth, opened the door of the cab, sat inside, and said excitedly:

Now he rides his bicycle back and forth between the city and outside the city every day.

Therefore, this matter can only be postponed in the future.

Xu Qing smiled and nodded: "Of course, it is specially provided for you. It will save you the trouble of riding a bicycle when you go to the countryside in the future."

When Er Mazi came back from collecting pigs in the countryside, he was shocked when he saw that Xu Qing had bought a brand new Jiefang truck. He rubbed his eyes for a long time and couldn't believe it.

Even if you work in a state-owned meat factory, you still can't figure it out.

In July, Xu Qing went to several branches of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill alone to collect payment, plus what he had saved before, he immediately bought a Jiefang brand truck and distributed it to his own meat factory to haul pigs. In the future, when the grain harvest begins, we can also pull grain from the countryside.

Xu Qing's original plan was that since his younger siblings still refused to take it, he would use the money they borrowed to invest in his own meat factory in their names.

Now that he has bought a truck, Ermazi can drive it to the countryside at any time, which is very convenient.

But it has to be there anyway.

Xu Qing frowned slightly and said, "Brother Mazi, do you know how to drive? Why don't you stop going to the countryside for the next few days and learn to drive first."

Hui Dehai and several of his apprentices stood at the door of the slaughtering workshop, watching Er Mazi drive the tall and big iron thing, slowly turning around in the factory yard and driving towards the outside of the factory.

Xu Qing gave up the idea.

Hearing this, Xu Qing took out the key from his trouser pocket and threw it to Er Mazi.

I couldn't help but clasp my hands behind my back and face the sunset with emotion.

And Liu Jianjun also has a public official position.

Aiguo and Fengming are the leaders of the state-owned factory. If they really use their names to invest in the meat factory, it may be detrimental to their careers in the future.

Er Mazi stood at the door of the cab, leaning half of his body outside, grinning and saying:

"Qingzi, I've known it for a long time. Every time I go to the countryside to collect pigs, when the truck driver I hire is halfway through, I ask him to stop and let me practice my skills. I'm not bragging to you. These few times I have brought pigs back, I have to drive. It’s all me.”

Xu Qing stood in the distance and saw Er Mazi turning the steering wheel skillfully and looking at the rearview mirrors on the left and right from time to time. He secretly felt that Er Mazi had been secretly practicing on the road.

When he was young, he didn't have the opportunity to touch a car.

With the roar, the 3.5-meter-long Jiefang truck started to move like a bull.

In the past two years, he hired a car every time. If there was an emergency, it would be really inconvenient for him to not be able to hire one at once.

Nowadays, Xu Qing's generation has caught up with the good times. Not only can they easily find a job as a driver, but private purchases of cars are also allowed.

When Er Mazi pressed Lama and drove the truck past, Hui Dehai walked to Xu Qing and said:

"Director Xu, times have really changed. Once the regulations were changed, the state allowed the sale of everything. I, an old man, really feel like I can't keep up with the times."

Xu Qing took out his Chinese cigarette and handed it to Hui Dehai and said:

"Master Hui, what do you mean by this? Reform of the country will benefit the country and the people. I am a member of the people, and so are you. No matter how the times change, we are still not part of it."

Hui Dehai took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Director Xu, you are right. If I want to be twenty years younger, I have to get on the truck you bought."

Xu Qing smiled and took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Hui Dehai, the indispensable 'big brother' of the meat factory.

Hui Dehai hurriedly stood up and raised his hand to block the wind.

Xu Qing was very respectful to him, how could he pretend to be sophisticated?

A retired pig butcher in a meat factory has little education and only has the skills to kill pigs and sheep.

If Xu Qing hadn't looked up to him, how could he be where he is today.

With the cigarette lit, Hui Dehai took a few puffs, faced Xu Qing and said with a serious look on his face:

"Director Xu, I have always had a question. I wonder whether I should answer it or not?"

"Master Hui, just tell me."

"Director Xu, our meat factory kills pigs. We don't kill many pigs a day. It's been almost a year. You have to solve the problem of pig collection as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid if this continues, you will be killed."

Hui Dehai didn't finish the last sentence and stopped talking.

Xu Qing heard what Hui Dehai meant and smiled calmly:

"Master Hui, I have been solving the problem of collecting pigs. San Huzi, who often comes to the factory, will not raise pigs this year. I specially arranged it. Several farms in the western suburbs also supply pigs. Second We go to the countryside to collect pockmarks every week, so in the second half of this year, you and your apprentice will have to work hard."

When Hui Dehai heard Xu Qing say this, he smiled on his wrinkled face and said:

"Director Xu, I'm just waiting for your words."

Xu Qing nodded and looked up at the sky. The setting sun dyes the sky golden, and the white clouds are also dyed and discolored.

Xu Qing is confident about the future development of the meat factory, and the meat factory will inevitably rise.

The foundation that needs to be laid has been laid.

Sanhuzi's pig raising has aroused curiosity among many nearby villagers.

Just wait and wait for the pigs raised by Sanhuzi to be released around October. By then, there will definitely be people who will raise them with Sanhuzi next year.

The problem of collecting pigs is easily solved.

In the evening, Xu Qing rode his bicycle back to the city.

Entering summer, it gets dark late, it's already past seven o'clock in the evening, but the sky is still bright, and the crescent moon hangs in the sky, showing a silvery white color.

Xu Qing turned into the alley from the street, stopped at the main entrance of the compound, and then pushed back to the courtyard.

Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the front yard, was bored in the yard wiping the bicycle that had been with him for more than 20 years.

With the rag in hand, I kept wiping it dry and wiping it over and over again.

The bicycle seats were so worn that it was difficult to look at them directly, but Yan Bugui was still reluctant to change them. He asked the third aunt to knit a cover with wool and put it on.

Hongxing Elementary School is on summer vacation, and Yan Bugui has been idle at home these days. He has no intention of fishing. He just wants to find a job in the warehouse of Xu Qing's grain station to earn some money like last year.

Unfortunately, Xu Qing ignored Yan Bugui, the front yard man, after his son Hongzhi went on summer vacation.

We meet and say hello every day.

As for why, Yan Bugui knew it in his heart.

I still didn't have the nerve to open my mouth and talk to Xu Qing.

Waiting for Xu Qing to ask him.

As for Xu Qing, it was naturally impossible to ask.

There is no need to say more about things that are obvious.

What if Yan Bugui is hired and the three Yan Jiecheng brothers are thinking about the money their father earned during the summer vacation, and they cause trouble in the courtyard?

Xu Qing is not afraid, but what happened last year made him very unhappy.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li resigned from Factory No. 3 in April this year and opened a restaurant on the street, which the couple ran.

There was nothing they could do. The two of them carried the punishment on them last year and went to Xu Qing and Aiguo several times. Mingli expected to help them settle the punishment.

But Xu Qing was too lazy to listen to their nonsense, while Aiguo refused directly.

Why didn't you think about the consequences when you made trouble last year? Now you still have the nerve to beg, and there is no way!

If you don’t want it when you give it face, who’s to blame?

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li saw that they had to continue working in the No. 3 Factory, but they had no chance to succeed, so they had to resign and go into business.

After all, after the reform, there were many people doing business, and many cadres from units and agencies joined in.

How could Yu Li, a very thoughtful person, be willing to just be an honest worker for the rest of her life?

Then he persuaded Yan Jiecheng, and the couple borrowed money from here and there, bought a small restaurant, and started doing business like Xu Qing.

Yan Bugui was somewhat impressed by the fact that his eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law opened a restaurant.

But I have never had a meal there.

As for finding a job in the boss's restaurant, Yan Bugui is not willing.

He hasn't retired yet, and he still has the title of teacher. How can he work in a restaurant? It's so miserable.

It would be embarrassing if an acquaintance knew about it.

The warehouse of Xu Qing Grain Station is in the suburbs, and few people know him, so it doesn't matter.

But he waited for Xu Qing to ask him, but Xu Qing never mentioned it.

At this time, Yanbu Gui saw Xu Qing coming back from the courtyard. He quickly put the rag on the handlebar of the bicycle, faced Xu Qing and said with a continuous smile:

"Hey, Xiaoqing, you're back from get off work. You're earlier today than you were yesterday."

Xu Qing pushed the bicycle and responded:

"Third uncle, I'm wiping your bicycle again."

After saying that, Xu Qing walked straight towards the middle courtyard without giving Yan Bugui a chance to talk.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when Jinghong came back from the grain station, it started to rain.

It came quickly and violently without any warning, and fell with crackling drops as big as beans.

But it goes quickly.

Within an hour, it came to an abrupt end, washing away the sultry summer heat.

When Xu Damao returned to the courtyard at around ten o'clock in the evening, he saw Xu Qing and Jinghong sitting in the courtyard, chatting with Aiguo, Fengming, Silly Zhu who came from the middle courtyard, and Banggan who lived in the backyard.

Xu Damao parked his bicycle next to Qin Jingru and glared at her.

Qin Jingru reluctantly stood up and took it. Xu Damao walked to Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, I heard that Sanhuzi raised pigs this year. Is this true?"

Xu Qing hugged his daughter and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Brother Damao has ideas about raising pigs?"

Xu Damao raised his hand and touched his forehead, shook his head and said, "No, just ask."

Xu Qing said "oh" and continued to listen to Banggan and Feng Ming talking about their experiences of going to the countryside to jump in the queue.

Xu Damao was not interested in that at all. He raised his hand and asked Xu Hongzhi to get him a bench. After sitting next to Xu Qing, he smoked:

"Qingzi, let me use the truck you just bought in a few days."

Everyone in the compound knew that Xu Qing bought a truck.

In any case, they all live in a compound, so how can it be unclear.

The envy and jealousy of everyone in the courtyard was on their faces every day these days.

When Liu Haizhong heard Xu Damao asking Xu Qing to borrow a truck, he suddenly became curious and said:

"Xu Damao, you're just a projectionist, if you don't show movies well, why do you need Xiaoqing's truck?"

Xu Damao raised his eyelids, looked at Liu Haizhong with disdain and said:

"Second uncle, I stopped working in the cinema a few days ago. Didn't you hear? I am now engaged in business just like Qingzi and Yan Jiecheng."

Qin Jingru lowered her head, knocked the melon seeds in her hands, and said nothing.

She knew what Xu Damao did as his wife earlier than anyone else.

And she also knows best whether Xu Damao resigns or is fired.

With Xu Damao's flirtatious temper, there was no way he was resigning. He could only be fired for flirting with girls.

Therefore, Qin Jingru was embarrassed to tell the people in the courtyard.

Bang Gang, who also knew the inside story, felt it was embarrassing and refused to tell anyone in the hospital.

Silly Zhu sat between Aiguo and Fengming, crossed his legs, looked at Xu Damao, and said happily:

"Xu Damao, you still have to use a truck for the small business you are doing? Don't you have a tricycle? Isn't that enough?"

"Silly Zhu, why don't you cool down? I'll discuss business with Qingzi, so don't interrupt."

Silly Zhu snorted and turned around, not looking at Xu Damao.

But Aiguo and Fengming were full of doubts about Xu Damao's intention to use his elder brother's truck, and asked in unison:

"Brother Damao, what are you pulling with my big brother's truck?"
