Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 29 Chapter 029: One Dollar
Next, the two chatted without a word, and their relationship made some progress. Wang Zhendong no longer had a cold face.

It seems that people like Liu Changzheng can still be made friends with. There is no problem in being a friend. In recent years, this guy can still help with some things.

As for his father, forget it and stay away from him.

Now he has analyzed that the Lou family's backer should be Liu Changzheng's father, but when the wind rises, he falls.

Therefore, I can only be friends with Liu Changzheng and cannot deal with his father.

He didn't want to be implicated, and at the same time, he also hoped that his old leaders would not return to Beijing in these years, so that they would not be able to implicate him.

"Brother Dong, take your time and stroll around. I have to do something with my friends. If I have time, I'll go and have a drink with you."

Liu Changzheng knew that it was enough to stop. He had already established a foundation with Wang Zhendong today and was looking for opportunities to enhance their relationship in the future.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. By the way, I have something to remind you. In the future, you should not use your power to trample on the dignity of others."

Wang Zhendong didn't explain carefully, just took the bicycle and left.

Liu Changzheng nodded, wrote down this sentence, and turned around to leave.

Wang Zhendong actually thought of those big courtyard boys who were stabbed by the stubborn master in the alley, and said casually.

But this is also his code of conduct, just like how he treats Li Daming, Jia Zhang, and Jia Dongxu.

Now that they know his status as a cadre, he cannot rely on his status as a cadre to make others lose face and dignity.

Because he has experienced the work of later generations, being humiliated and trampled on his dignity by those who were one level above the official level and used chicken feathers as arrows.

If Jia Dongxu is not afraid of his rank and quarrels with him, then he can quarrel with him or even fight.

But we will not use power to make them surrender or kneel down.

When Jia Dongxu has surrendered to his level, he will stop. This is also the fundamental reason why he let Jia Dongxu come to the table for a drink that night.

If Jia Dongxu was kicked out in front of everyone that night, it would be trampling and humiliating Jia Dongxu's dignity.

One-on-one, in private, you might be able to do this, but in front of so many people, it's not necessary.

It's not a mortal enemy, so why make people gnash their teeth in hatred.

It is necessary to benefit oneself when harming others. If harming others is not beneficial to oneself, there is no need to do it.

As the saying goes, unless you have to, you still have to leave room for yourself, and give to others as well as yourself.

Just like don't put water in an ashtray, if you put water in it, you won't be able to pick up a cigarette butt when you don't want to smoke.

If you think about it carefully, isn't the ecology in the courtyard just the normal state of ordinary people?

Who can be nobler and more moral than whom?
Wang Zhendong savored the human fireworks in the market and observed the people quietly conducting transactions.

Yes, here he could already find that some people with wandering eyes were also aware of someone whispering quietly.

Whispering, some transactions followed.

He deliberately passed by some people who had made deals. At a quick glance, he could see that the deals were meat tickets, oil tickets, sugar tickets and the like.

He doesn't need this and continues shopping.

It was also discovered that some people were trading purchase coupons, which were later called industrial coupons, to buy watches, bicycles, sewing machines, etc.

You need this kind of purchase voucher. Don’t think that you can buy a watch, bicycle or something with just one purchase voucher.

According to the price of the item, purchase coupons are allocated. For example, if a bicycle costs [-] yuan, approximately [-] coupons are needed.

However, it was later changed to issue one purchase coupon for each industrial product, so only one was needed.

There are tickets for watches, bicycles, and sewing tickets.

Of course, what is written on these tickets is not a ticket, but a purchase coupon, for example, a bicycle purchase coupon...

But now, they are still purchase coupons, just one kind.

Wang Zhendong wanted to find someone who sold and bought goods, not these tickets. Fortunately, he made a discovery after a while.

This was a small alley entrance that was a bit out of the way. Two people were sneaking around. Wang Zhendong walked by with a cart and saw one person quickly hiding something in his sleeve.

But he still saw the exposed part, and was surprised that it turned out to be yellow croaker.This is buying and selling gold!

I don’t know how much gold is worth per gram at this time, or in other words, how much is gold per piece.

The price of large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker will naturally be different.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this thing, so he continues to look around.

He didn't plan to conclude a deal today. Today he just came to get a feel for the situation.

But not long after, he made another discovery, and this time there were three people, all middle-aged.

What caught Wang Zhendong's attention was the size, appearance, and clothing of these three people. They did not look like ordinary people.

It's more like... Wang Zhendong didn't know how to describe it for a while, it just felt like the kind of person who looked after the home and the hospital in the past.

All three are middle-aged. At this age, there are still three people with similar aura and temperament, which is a bit weird.

Wang Zhendong stopped in front of a candy blower's stall, seemingly watching the fun, but in fact his eyes were observing the three people from time to time.

After a while, I saw several young people who looked like gangsters on the street, passing by the three of them one after another, making eye contact.

Then those young people finally entered an alley.

The three middle-aged men also entered the same alley slowly, as if strolling.

At this time, Wang Zhendong took action and pushed his bicycle over.

He turned around and looked into the alley, but it was empty, with no one in sight. He guessed that he had entered a certain courtyard.

Instead of entering the alley rashly, Wang Zhendong walked directly past the entrance of the alley, took note of the alley, and decided to come over at night to find out more.

Perhaps, there will be very unexpected discoveries.

I originally planned to take a look at it at night, because after all, there are too few such transactions during the day.

Therefore, he wanted to see what it was like here at night, or in the middle of the night, and what kind of things would be traded.

All kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snake spirits will probably appear at night.

After walking around in a circle without continuing, he looked at the time and saw that it was almost four o'clock. He decided to go home first and come back at midnight.

There was no way to go back, and instead of taking Heyan Street this time, Wang Zhendong wanted to take a walk around Xicheng, so that he could be familiar with the roads in Sijiu City.

On Qianmen Street, he rode slowly behind the tram and passed Xuanwumen without turning.

I didn’t want to take the road with the tram, but went directly to the Fuxingmen city wall.

On the way, he saw archways that were being demolished and some city walls that were being demolished. Wang Zhendong couldn't help but feel moved when he saw these.

There are so many city wall bricks, why not come over at night and get some?
In the future, there will definitely be some infrastructure construction in the space. With these large numbers of city wall bricks, it will save a lot of trouble.

With this idea in mind, he was not in a hurry to go home and began to check the demolition status of the city wall sections, including where the city wall bricks were stacked and the sections being demolished.

By the time he returned to Nanluogu Lane, it was already past five o'clock.

At the entrance of the alleyway into the courtyard, by chance, I met Qin Huairu again, who had just come out of the public toilet and was still sorting out her clothes.

Naturally, Wang Zhendong couldn't stop and wait, just pass by and walk in front.

There were not many people coming and going in the alley, and Wang Zhendong had a strange idea in his mind, so he deliberately reached into his pocket, and seemed to accidentally drop a dollar from his pocket.

Qin Huairu arranged her clothes, and when she looked up, she saw Wang Zhendong, who was riding in front of him, with something falling from his pocket.

He opened his mouth to shout and tell Wang Zhendong that he had dropped something.

But after seeing people coming and going in the distance, she didn't shout. She was also afraid of being heard and if the news reached Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang, she would suffer.

So I quickly walked over to pick it up. After a while, I passed by the front yard and returned it to Wang Zhendong.

But when she looked closer, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked back and forth, and quickly stepped on a dollar with one foot.

Pretending to squat down to get his shoes, he picked up a dollar and stuffed it into his pocket, but his heart was beating wildly. When he saw that Wang Zhendong was already riding away, he lowered his head and walked towards the courtyard.
