Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 177 Fang Jinglin’s new mission

"Are you getting married?"

Yan Bugui was a little surprised.

He had been thinking about introducing Xiang Yunduan to his wife, but when he heard the news, he felt a little disappointed.

This was the job he wanted to do, but he didn't expect Xiang Yunduan to solve it by himself?

At the beginning, he saw that Xiang Yunduan was too arrogant and deliberately made him angry. So out of revenge, he began to look for candidates everywhere and wanted to introduce them to Xiang Yunduan.

But now, he has actually given up the idea of ​​revenge on Xiang Yunduan. After all, with Xiang Yunduan's current situation, he can definitely raise ten children at one go, let alone three or five children.

The reason why I still want to introduce someone to Xiang Yunduan is mainly because I want to earn a matchmaker's money from Xiang Yunduan.

After all, Xiang Yunduan is very generous with his actions. If he really wants to be this matchmaker, the benefits will definitely be huge.

Recently, Yan Bugui feels more and more stressed. The situation outside is not very good. In the past, at the pigeon market, one cent could buy two and a half kilograms of mixed noodles, but now he can only buy two The weight has increased, and the prices of many food items have increased.

"How could it be possible? Third uncle must be happy when you get married. However, the teacher Wen Liwen whom third uncle introduced to you last time didn't succeed, so the third uncle always felt that he owed you something, so he kept thinking about it. Let me introduce another one to you, but it seems there is no chance now!" Yan Bugui sighed.

In order to find a job for Yan Jiecheng, I had to spend all my savings. Now I really don't have much money and I can't withstand the storm.

A girl suddenly appeared in Yan Bugui's mind. She had just been asked by the matchmaker to introduce her to his family.

So if you can earn a little bit, it’s a little bit.

Even if Xiang Yunlong is now an apprentice driver, he still has a lot of money. Besides, Xiang Yunlong is alone and doesn't have many places to spend money. He has been working for a year, so he probably has a lot of money in his hands.

Yan Bugui, who was always cautious and more able to settle accounts, decided almost instantly to introduce the person named Yu Li to Xiang Yunlong.

Moreover, once you get married, there will be one more person in the family, and you may even have to have children, which will cost you even more.

"Yes, it's my brother. Don't you know my brother? He's also in the slaughterhouse. He's an apprentice driver. Come to think of it, he's a serious colleague of yours!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Why, I'm getting married. Third uncle, you don't seem happy?" Xiang Yunduan asked when he saw Yan Bugui's disappointed expression.

"Third uncle, you'd better call me terminal. It's not time to work. Don't call me the director. If people hear me, they'll think I'm addicted to officialdom!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

Yan Bugui is somewhat knowledgeable. This situation makes him a little worried. The family's expenses have been reduced a lot recently.

"Introduce first, let's talk first. If you succeed in this matter, my brother will definitely benefit from you!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Your brother, he is only nineteen years old this year, and he is getting married?" Yan Bugui was a little surprised.

However, in the current situation, it is better to postpone the matter of marriage. Marriage is also a big expense, and I really don't dare to spend this money now.

During this period, because he could not write good things, newspapers and magazines looked down upon him. He gradually gave up on being a writer and returned to his previous state, going fishing every weekend when he had time.

"That's right, considering you are such a generous person, Director Xiang, your brother is definitely not far behind!" Yan Bugui nodded seriously.

Of course Yan Bugui knew Xiang Yunlong, but he said that Xie Cheng was a colleague, but Xie Cheng was a loader, and Xiang Yunlong would be a driver in the future. He was one of the serious "eight members". Among workers, the driver's job was But it's very enviable.

"Ah? Your brother?" Yan Bugui didn't react for a moment.

Not to mention, there were more people fishing than before recently, so he had to go fishing outside the city.

"Haha, I thought you didn't want me to get married. What's the regret? If you feel you owe me, don't worry. It will be the same if you introduce someone to my brother!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

It's just that it's a little unethical to do this. After all, what he's doing is equivalent to stealing business from the matchmaker.

Ever since his younger brother Yunlong moved to Beiluoguxiang, he has matured a lot in the past year.

Because of work, the two brothers don't actually meet often, but every time they meet, he can feel his brother's growth.

What makes him feel more guilty as an elder brother is that perhaps because of the previous incident between his younger brother and Qin Huairu, he handled it a bit roughly, which may have left a shadow in his younger brother's heart. This boy is now focused on work. Usually, I don’t even know how to fall in love.

In this era, people get married relatively early. Although the Marriage Law promulgated in the 1950s stipulates that men must be over 20 and women must be over 18, in practice, many people do not comply with the regulations. It is nothing more than having a banquet first. , just wait until they reach the age to get the certificate, and many people even don’t even get the certificate at all.

Xiang Yunduan was about to get married soon, so he naturally thought of his younger brother. Yan Bugui happened to talk about it at this moment, so he mentioned it more.

The past is over, what unresolved issues can the two brothers have? Is it possible that we will never have any contact with each other for the rest of our lives?

"Okay, I will definitely take this matter to heart and will definitely choose a good wife for your brother!" Yan Bugui nodded and said.

"Hey, Teacher Yan, and Director Xiang, you are all here. That's just in time. There is a new person in your yard. Now that everyone is off work and everyone is relatively crowded, let's hold a hospital-wide meeting. I will be the new neighbor. Let me introduce it to you!”

After Xiang Yunduan and Yan Bugui finished talking, they were about to go into the house to rest. Unexpectedly, two more people came in through the door. One was about thirty years old, and it was Director Liu from the street office. When Xiang Yunduan entered the courtyard for the first time, it was Liu. The director leads the way.

As for the other person, he is much older, his hair is a bit gray, and he has a long horse face, which is impressive.

"Director Xiang, come and smoke!"

As Officer Liu said this, he quickly took two steps forward, first took out a pack of qianmen from his right pocket, then quickly realized and put it back again, and then took out a pack of crab apples from his left pocket. He took out one and handed it to Xiang Yunduan.

Next to him, Yan Bugui watched eagerly. He originally thought that Director Liu would give him one, but he didn't expect that Director Liu would put the cigarette back after giving it to Xiang Yunduan.

Xiang Yunduan took the cigarette and took a look at it. It was a coincidence that when he first entered the courtyard, the cigarettes he gave to Mr. Liu were Haitang, which cost 86 cents a pack.

Rejecting Officer Liu's diligent ignition, he basically didn't smoke, and casually gave the cigarette to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle, please inform other neighbors to welcome new comrades to move in!"

Yan Bugui happily took the cigarette, clamped it to his ear, and then stood in the middle of the yard and shouted loudly: "Jie Cheng, Jiefang, Jie Kuang, and Jie Di, all come out and go to the middle courtyard and backyard to inform the others. Come and hold a hospital-wide meeting!”

I don’t know when it started, but the location where the whole hospital meeting was held changed from the middle courtyard to the front yard.

Xiang Yunduan guessed that it might have something to do with him becoming the director, but he had never had any thoughts in this regard, and he didn't know if it was Yan Bugui's idea. "Is this Master Wen? We must have met before!" Xiang Yunduan said looking at the horse face next to Director Liu.

This man looked to be about forty-five years old, maybe a little younger than Yi Zhonghai. He was pushing a three-wheeled cart with some daily necessities on it.

When the horse-faced man saw what Xiang Yunduan said, he thought for a moment and then said: "I have seen it before. Last winter, I pulled briquettes for you once!"

"Director Xiang, do you still know Master Wen San?" Director Liu was a little surprised.

"We know each other, but doesn't Master Wen work in the freight cooperative in the street? Why did he move to our hospital? Where did he live before?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Master Wen used to live in Beixinqiao, but this time he came to our hospital because of a job change. The house assigned to Master Wen is the same hall room that you lived in before, Director Xiang!" Officer Liu said.

"Isn't this right? Isn't that hall room from the slaughterhouse? Why was it given to Master Wen?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"The freight cooperative in the street has been disbanded, and the people in it have now been transferred to other units. Master Wen went to the transportation team of the slaughterhouse. No, he came here!" Officer Liu explained again.

"I see!"

Xiang Yunduan nodded.

He still has some impression of Wen San. He does the same job as Xiangzi in Luotuo Xiangzi, but his fate is completely different.

This Wen San has a completely laid-back mentality, the kind of attitude where you can drink now and get drunk the next. You can live one day at a time, and you should be cool if you can, and don't care about other things at all. It is completely different from Xiangzi's hard-working and positive attitude. Different, but the end result is much better.

Although he was all alone and died in the house several days before being discovered by his neighbors, it was still a good thing.

Another reason why Xiang Yun Duan was deeply impressed by Wen San was the existence of Fang Jinglin.

Fang Jinglin and Wen San were also old acquaintances. They had known each other before liberation, and there was still a dispute.

……

A few days later, the District Bureau.

"Fang Ju, is there another mission?"

Xiang Yunduan entered Fang Jinglin's office with steady steps.

"Look at this!" Fang Jinglin motioned for him to sit down and then handed him a document.

"Huh?" Xiang Yunduan opened the file. He thought it was some kind of task. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be about his entry into D.

"Fang Bureau, it's only been so long since I submitted the application, but you already agreed to my application? Isn't there an inspection period?" Xiang Yunduan asked strangely.

"Of course there is an inspection period, but the time of the inspection period varies from person to person. You are so good, so it is normal for you to be admitted to D earlier!"

After Fang Jinglin finished speaking, he came close to his ear and whispered: "Liu Bureau took special care of it a few days ago, so the branch naturally has no objections!"

Xiang Yunduan nodded, and he probably knew the reason. It must be U2's business. Director Liu said that day that the reward would have to wait until things calm down completely. This should be a side reward.

Since he entered the management center, all organizational relations have been transferred to the district bureau, and the same is naturally true for joining D.

"Thank you Fang Ju!" Xiang Yunduan said.

Fang Jinglin must have mentioned this matter in front of Director Liu, otherwise, how could Director Liu know that he was still applying to join D.

Handing the brand new ID booklet to Xiang Yunduan, Fang Jinglin said: "Don't thank me in a hurry. I came to you today. I do have a mission, but I have to discuss this matter with you first and listen to your opinion. !”

"Oh? What mission?" Xiang Yunduan put away the red notebook and asked.

"Do you know about the black market?" Fang Jinglin asked casually.

Xiang Yunduan was startled by these words. He almost thought that he had exposed himself somewhere, but looking at Fang Jinglin's expression, it seemed that was not the case. Then he calmed down and replied: "I've heard of it. , but I don’t know much about it. How is this mission related to the black market? "

"Not bad!"

Fang Jinglin nodded and said: "This black market has similar functions to the pigeon market, but its nature is much worse..."

Soon, Fang Jinglin introduced the black market to Xiang Yunduan. The specific situation was similar to what Xiang Yunduan knew.

But there are things he doesn't know.

Since the last time he went to the black market to cause trouble, the place had become deserted, once discontinued and abandoned.

But in recent times, maybe the police have loosened their gaze. Unexpectedly, Panjiayao has become prosperous again.

And it’s even more difficult than before!
Because, compared to before, there are actually some transactions like the pigeon market in the black market now, which has led to many ordinary people starting to appear there frequently.

Xiang Yunduan guessed that this change should be related to the tightness of food. After all, it was already 1959, and the summer harvest was about to begin, but the things in the fields were not satisfactory.

Not only Yan Bugui felt it, but many people also felt it.

"Does Fang Ju want to raid the Panjiayao?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Yes, but the terrain of Panjiayao is very complicated, and there are many underground tunnels connecting it. We have thought of ways before, but we have allowed those behind the scenes who control the black market to escape several times, and we have been unable to catch the culprit.

This time, I want to use the power of police dogs to completely eliminate this black market. I just don’t know if there is any problem on your side? Fang Jinglin asked.

Because he knew about U2, he realized that the police dogs trained by Xiang Yunduan were so powerful. Since the special operations teams of the Soviet Union were no match, he thought that there should be no problem in dealing with those guys on the black market. right!
"Fang Bureau, there is nothing wrong with your idea. Police dogs are used to perform such work. They are professional counterparts. But the problem now is that the number of police dogs in the management center is seriously insufficient, so if you want to carry out the task of raiding the black market, it is estimated that there will be It will take a while!" Xiang Yunduan said with a wry smile.

He really didn't mean to shirk his words, that was the actual situation.
