Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 57

We rushed to the public-private joint venture restaurant in Nanluogu Lane. Unfortunately, there were no meat dishes. The only meat dish was a shredded ear. Zhu Xuefeng ordered another piece of soup and ate a steamed bun.

I paid the bill and said goodbye to the boss, then rode to the entrusted store. I saw Qian Chuanzi waiting at the door of the store from a distance. When I saw Zhu Xuefeng coming, I immediately greeted him.

"You're here. You completed the task yesterday. I didn't dare to take the next one, so I asked them to wait."

Zhu Xuefeng was a little surprised. In two days, he spent [-] yuan on strings of money?What a lot!
Looking at Zhu Xuefeng's expression, he knew who Qian Chuanzi was. He dealt with him every day, so he immediately understood that Zhu Xuefeng had doubts.

"Come with me and I'll tell you what's going on."

Zhu Xuefeng followed Qian Chuanzi into the consignment store, went to the second floor, and entered a small room. Zhu Xuefeng saw a small box in the small room. It was very beautiful. This bicycle could not be taken away or tied up. Can't mention it.

Zhu Xuefeng looked at Qian Chuanzi, waiting for an explanation.

"Here, take a look. They are all collected from inside the gate. Someone has asked me for them a long time ago. As soon as I asked for them, several companies sent them directly."

Zhu Xuefeng was thinking, but he didn't hear any rumors. Looking at them like this, they were obviously clearing out their stocks and leaving. Otherwise, it would be a cheap sale for so much money.

"These are only two hundred?"

Zhu Xuefeng still didn't believe it. The price of cabbage was so high that it was a waste of money.

"No way, this is four hundred and fifty in total. I asked my grandfather to pay for it. If we don't charge this price, they will have nothing to lose if they regret it."

"My grandpa said that even if you don't want it, you won't be compensated if you take it, so I'll take it all, and there are some left. The money is not enough." Zhu Xuefeng nodded. Qian Chuanzi's grandpa was right, four hundred and five is still very cheap. , at least [-]% cheaper than the commissioned store.

Why not put it in the entrustment store? Entrustment means that you will be paid after selling it. Moreover, there is a queue to sell it. It is common for it to fail to sell for one or two years.

"Okay, I want it all."

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the quality and style. They were all pretty good, but there were no scraps, which was a bit regretful.

He took out a thick stack of big black tens, clicked them, and handed the money string.

"This is five hundred. How about fifty as your hard-earned money."

I feel like I'm taking too much advantage, so I gave fifty, which should be a lot.

Qian Chuanzi was overjoyed. He had earned fifty in two days. He didn't even dare to think about it and nodded immediately.

"No problem, I'll listen to you. Will you accept it later?"

Indeed, this is quite a lot, Zhu Xuefeng thought about it.

"Just don't show it, hold it back again, and be quieter. Your movements are a bit scary."

After thinking about it, he took out another two hundred and slapped it into Qian Chuanzi's hand.

"I guess what you have is not enough, so I will add these for you. Also, I need to get more receipts for me, as well as liquor and cigarette stamps for high-end liquors such as Wuliangye and Maotai. You can just exchange them for liquor." Give me some cigarettes."

After taking over the task of secretary, it is estimated that the demand for tobacco and alcohol will increase in the future.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of this as soon as possible. I ran out of flowers two days ago, so there's nothing I can do."

The two of them murmured and discussed for a while before Zhu Xuefeng went downstairs and rode home.

There was a lot of movement like this. Did you use too much force? There were almost dozens of items in the box. They had to pull them back tomorrow. Zhu Xuefeng decided to wait until the next batch was collected.

One is to see the effect, and the other is, is there really a trend? Why is it being sold at a fire sale? It’s not much money, and the money will be useless if it goes away.

I asked about the price of yellow croaker on the black market and found that it had increased a lot. It looked more like someone was trying to run away and was hoarding.

I don’t understand, my current level is too low, I don’t have access to many things, and I can’t guess.

Back in the front yard, it was very lively. The third uncle's family was coming and going, and the third aunt was smiling. What kind of happy event was this? Zhu Xuefeng did not join in the fun.

After a while, Yan Jiefang escorted Huang Xiaojuan out. It could be seen that Huang Xiaojuan had dressed up a lot today, which made people's eyes brighter. Her face was rosy and she looked generous. There was an aunt following her. She didn't know if she was a matchmaker or a parent.

Yan Jiefang's little hair was also in a [-]-[-] style, and she was well-groomed, her face was glowing red, and her hereditary little eyes were also exuding joy, and she sent Huang Xiaojuan off in the spring breeze.

It must be that good things are about to happen. Yan Jiefang is four or five years older than Zhu Xuefeng. He also graduated from high school. His grades are average and the small unit looks down on him. He only wants to join the steel rolling mill. It must be the atmosphere of the compound that affects him.After working outside for two years, I don’t know who I hooked up with. It is said that I can find a temporary job in the steel rolling mill and become a regular worker when I have the opportunity. It is said that Mr. Yan is very happy in this matter and seems to have spent a lot of money.

Now my daughter-in-law has also agreed, and she is considered to be ahead among her peers in the yard. This person is in high spirits during happy events and is feeling proud of herself.

As soon as it got dark, Yuan Jun came indeed, bringing a car with him. This time the situation was a bit big.

Zhu Xuefeng followed Yuan Jun to the outside of the hospital. An old-fashioned jeep was parked by the wall of the back-seat room. Zhu Xuefeng looked at Yuan Jun in surprise. Yuan Jun smiled and let Zhu Xuefeng see for himself.

When I opened the carriage, I found several packages, all packed into a square shape, with three big words printed on the outside: defective goods.

Understand, Zhu Xuefeng, Yuan Jun and the driver each carried two items, and they were all done at once. The weight was far more than Zhu Xuefeng expected.

"Chief Yuan, this isn't appropriate. It's too much. I won't cause trouble for you."

"Don't call me section chief, Shengfen. I called you brother at noon yesterday. Don't worry. Take a look at this."

Yuan Jun is more than ten years older than Zhu Xuefeng. Yesterday, he drank and messed up his seniority. Today... forget it, since he doesn't want to suffer any loss, he can just call him brother.

He looked at the note in his hand. It should have been issued by the leader of the textile factory. Then he looked at the note below. It was a formal receipt. There was nothing wrong with it. Zhu Xuefeng paid the money according to the receipt honestly. There was no problem with the process and the account was correct. superior.

Although Yuan Jun kept saying no, Zhu Xuefeng did not let go. These small things cannot leave a stain.

ticket?What kind of tickets do you need for defective products?Keep the tickets to buy genuine ones, don’t spend them randomly.

The two of them smoked a cigarette outside the hospital. The driver didn't get out of the car, so Zhu Xuefeng stuffed a pack into the front door.

Yuan Jun left in a car, and Zhu Xuefeng was annoyed. It was a bit nonsense that such a big favor would not be repaid until the end of September. He had to think about it again.

Many people in the yard saw it, but they didn't know what was inside. It was transported by jeep. It was quite a scene.

As long as no one asked, Zhu Xuefeng pretended not to see it and hurriedly sent Yuan Jun away.

Back in the middle room, the younger brother and sister were in a daze, seeing six boxy defective products, each weighing more than ten kilograms.

Without opening it, Zhu Xuefeng knew that it was probably a quilt, but there were a lot of defective products.

Let's wait until the old one is cleaned. The current kang is not good enough and needs to be replaced. Zhu Xuefeng is thinking a lot. How about designing a few beds? He is really not used to sleeping on this kang.

Why are there so many troubles happening even before I go to work?

………………

Jia Dongxu has already started his labor camp. From the time he was taken into custody, he should be in labor camp until the end of October. It is really a long time. If I could get enough at that time, how could I be like this now?

Jia Dongxu was sent to the workshop by the security department today. The workshop director accepted him, and the security department simply handed him over and left, leaving the workshop to arrange and supervise. The security department would come from time to time to inspect the labor reform situation.

Director Wang of the workshop did not say much, sighed, and asked Jia Dongxu to return to his original position. Everything was the same, except that he had no salary and could not go home.

This time it was really embarrassing for the workshop, and Director Wang was disgraced. This kid usually cheated, but for Lao Yi's sake, he had said several times that there would be no punishment. This time he had to be taught a lesson.

After a while, I asked Lao Yi to remind him that if he was still the same as before, he would be punished for failing to pass the labor reform. The director was very cruel. Whoever made you commit a crime makes me look bad.

The workers in the workshop didn't pay attention. They were busy with their own tasks. They had tasks every day and the intensity was quite high. They didn't have time to chat during working hours.

A few of my usual drinking buddies poked their heads in, but they didn't dare to come over because the team leader was still watching.

.........

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the drawings on the table. This was drawn when he came back from looking for a way to survive last time.
This radio is out of business now, and the tube should be unavailable now. Let’s look at another gadget. This one has higher requirements. Lao America does have a primary product. Let’s check the literature in the future to see the development of domestic technology.

Put away the drawings on the desktop, you can wait now. After the things are made, there is still a lot to do, so let’s review them now.

In the meantime, I secretly went to Di'anmen Department Store and prepared a few sets of summer clothes for each of the three brothers and sisters. Now that I had money and tickets, I bought them quickly, otherwise I would procrastinate.
