Siheyuan: debt repayment is a matter of course

"Xiangdong, how about my brother and you learning how to play a movie?" Sister Xu from the publicity department asked with a smile.

Lin Xiangdong has become a full-time employee and can accept apprentices. Some people in the factory want to be his apprentices.

This elder sister Xu is an artist and an old employee of the propaganda department. Almost all the porcelain paintings in the factory are made by her.

Although Lin Xiangdong has not been in the Propaganda Department for a long time, and his relationship with his colleagues is good, and he can occasionally joke around. This sister Xu is not bad, but her younger brother is not so good. He has been an apprentice in No. [-] cafeteria for more than a year. It has not been corrected yet.

It's good to have an apprentice who runs errands and does odd jobs, but Lin Xiangdong won't accept apprentices casually.

In addition, it hasn't been long since I became a regular, so it's not good to rush to recruit apprentices.

"Sister Xu, I've just become a full-time employee too, and it's still too early to accept apprentices." Lin Xiangdong said.

When Xu Damao was a projectionist, Xu Zhaodi wanted her younger brother to learn how to show movies with Xu Damao, but Xu Damao didn't agree.

Xu Damao was afraid that he would starve his master to death after teaching his apprentices, so he kept confiscating apprentices.

"Since I have become a full-time student, I can take in an apprentice. My brother is not bad, and he can endure hardships..." Xu Zhaodi did not give up.

After finally dealing with Xu Zhaodi, someone recommended an apprentice to Lin Xiangdong.

In fact, before Lin Xiangdong became a full-time employee, someone in the factory was following him.

However, if Lin Xiangdong did not accept his disciples for a long time, others would lose their minds seeing his intention of confiscating disciples.

There was nothing to do all morning, after dinner, Lin Xiangdong started to get busy.

Director Li had another guest today and asked Lin Xiangdong to help put on a movie.

Although Li Huaide is only the logistics director, he will become the deputy factory director without accident.

In the original play, Li Huaide was not only the deputy director of the factory, but later also overshadowed the sky in the factory. After going into business, he became the big boss, a proper winner in life.

There's no need to offend Li Huaide now, it's just a movie anyway.

In addition, Li Huaide personally went to the No. [-] cafeteria to ask Sha Zhu to open a small stove.

……

There was a movie in the afternoon, and Lin Xiangdong also had a drink.

It's a pity that I was too full to eat in the cafeteria at noon, and I had no appetite for the two meat dishes on the table.

If he had known that Li Huaide had guests, Lin Xiangdong would have kept his stomach full at noon.

"Xiangdong, you are a good comrade." Li Huaide patted Lin Xiangdong on the shoulder after he had eaten and drunk.

Although Lin Xiangdong is just a projectionist, it is worth Li Huaiduo's attention.

At this time, the factory has not yet reached the end of get off work.

Lin Xiangdong had nothing to do, so he left work early.

However, as soon as he left the factory gate, he saw the silly pillar not far away.

Good guy, Sha Zhu actually got off work early, and even one step ahead.

Silly Zhu who was walking by the side of the road also found Lin Xiangdong, and was also taken aback.

They all leave work early, so it's hard for Sha Zhu to say anything.

Speaking of which, Sha Zhu often leaves work early, because of his good cooking skills and Yi Zhonghai's help.

Today I made a small stove for Li Huaide, but there is oil and water in Shazhu's lunch box.

Without paying attention to Silly Zhu, Lin Xiangdong rode his bicycle to buy a watch.

Chapter 42 Shanghai brand all steel watch

The department store stands in Wangfujing, which is the largest shopping mall in Beijing.

As soon as he came outside the department store, Lin Xiangdong saw a bustling crowd. When he walked in, there were even more people, and some counters were even more crowded.

There is everything to eat, play and watch.

People in Beijing say that if you can't buy things in department stores, you can't find them anywhere else.

Unlike the supply and marketing cooperatives, the products of the supply and marketing cooperatives are separated by the counter, and you cannot touch them without buying them, but you can touch them in department stores.

At this time, Lin Xiangdong had a sense of déjà vu that he had come to a big supermarket.

The dazzling array of goods is dazzling.

Not far away, there was a shop selling electric toys, and a group of children looked around, with longing in their eyes.

There are also sweet cakes, and clothes and shoes are sold on the second floor.

In this department store, you can buy three turns and one ring, and you can even buy a TV.

But if you want to buy short-selling goods, you have to queue up before dawn.

Like Lin Xiangdong who just came here, many of the short-selling items are no longer available.

Although it is not the first time to visit this department store, every time I come, I am a little bit amazed.

Feeling the breath of this era, Lin Xiangdong's mood is also more complicated.

First, I wandered around casually, and it took me a while to come to the counter selling watches.

There are not many styles of watches, there are semi-steel and all-steel.

For example, the price of a semi-steel Shanghai brand watch is 90 yuan, while that of an all-steel Shanghai brand watch is 120 yuan.

Of course, the price of watches will not remain unchanged. In fact, not only watches, but also bicycles and radios, etc., it is correct to say that the price is one year.

"I'll buy a Shanghai brand all-steel watch." Lin Xiangdong said to the salesperson.

After all, it is one of the three revolutions, and watches are also big items in this era, which are not affordable by ordinary people. Therefore, the salesperson also gave Lin Xiangdong an extra look.

After checking that the money and tickets were all right, the salesperson took out a Shanghai-brand all-steel watch from the counter and gave it to Lin Xiangdong, and introduced it to Lin Xiangdong by the way.

As soon as he got the watch, Lin Xiangdong looked at it over and over again.

I saw that on the back of the watch there were words produced in [-].

A watch is to a man what a medieval saber is to a knight.

Speaking of the development of watches in Daxia, we have to start from [-], when dozens of master craftsmen made [-] fine horse mechanical watches by hand. In [-], the Shanghai Watch Factory was established and produced the first A batch of watches, thus rewriting the history that Chinese people can only repair watches but not make watches.

Taking a closer look at the watch in his hand, Lin Xiangdong liked it more and more.

I saw that this watch has seventeen diamonds, three needles long, the outer diameter of the movement is 25 mm, and there are fourteen screws on the balance wheel. The quality is close to that of the Swiss Polyjet.

After the brief introduction, the salesperson did not forget to tell Lin Xiangdong the precautions.

"Please do not bring the watch and magnetic objects close to each other."

"If you encounter water ingress, send it to the maintenance point for cleaning immediately to avoid corrosion of the movement."

"The protective sheet and label on the back of the watch must be removed, otherwise sweat will seep in..."

……

Lin Xiangdong also listened to what the salesperson said.

After buying the watch, Lin Xiangdong left the department store.

It's getting late, and it's time to go home.

Unless Lin Xiangdong hid his watch, once he took it out to use, the courtyard would definitely be a sensation.

Someone will inevitably ask about watch tickets, and the money to buy them.

And Lin Xiangdong also thought it over, the watch ticket was given by the factory leader, and the money for the watch was left by his parents.

As for the watch ticket, although it belongs to Yi Zhonghai, the system will handle it well.

It can be said that Lin Xiangdong is not afraid of being investigated.

There is a difference between system punishment and stealing.

From a systematic point of view, debt collection is a matter of course, and when debt collection fails, it is only natural to punish the debtor.

As for the IOU issued by the system, all interpretation rights belong to the system.

After peeling off the sheet and sticker on the back of the watch, Lin Xiangdong put it on immediately.

With a watch as a foil, I feel that the whole person is more energetic.

On the way home, from time to time, people cast envious eyes on Lin Xiangdong. After all, Lin Xiangdong was riding a bicycle and wearing a watch.

When Lin Xiangdong returned to the courtyard, it caused a sensation as expected.

As soon as he pushed the bicycle into the yard, he was seen by the sharp-eyed third mother.

"Dongzi, have you bought a watch?" The third mother was full of surprise.

Since the voice of the third mother was a bit loud, several people heard it, and they all looked at Lin Xiangdong's wrist.

Everyone was surprised to see Lin Xiangdong wearing a watch.

"What a watch."

"It's a Shanghai brand all-steel watch! It costs 120 yuan!"

"Watch tickets are not easy to get!"

"Where did Lin Xiangdong get the watch ticket? He actually has money to buy a watch?"

……

In a short time, everyone in the entire compound was alarmed.

When Lin Xiangdong returned home, there were many people standing outside his house.

Shazhu, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, Banggen, Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others all ran to look at Lin Xiangdong when they heard that Lin Xiangdong had bought a watch.

"Dongzi, have you bought a watch?" Yan Bugui was also staring at Lin Xiangdong's watch, and he liked it very much, but he didn't have a watch ticket or money.

Yan Bugui has become poor since he bought the bicycle.

"I got a watch ticket, so I used the money left by my parents to buy a watch." Lin Xiangdong said with a smile.

Hearing what Lin Xiangdong said, everyone had their own ideas.

Nowadays, Lin Xiangdong is also a projectionist, and often shows movies to the leaders of the factory. It is also possible that a leader of the factory gave Lin Xiangdong a watch ticket.

In addition, Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiao'e are dating, what is a watch ticket to the Lou family?

"Your parents still left money for you?" Silly Zhu was not without surprise.

"You said that." Lin Xiangdong rolled his eyes.

"Dongzi has a partner, since he has the conditions, he should buy a watch." Yi Zhonghai spoke for Lin Xiangdong.

In fact, because Lin Xiangdong's personality is good, his reputation is good, and his status is good, even Jia Zhang hasn't said any strange things now.

It doesn't matter if Yi Zhonghai doesn't help.

The reason why Yi Zhonghai helped him was that he hoped that Lin Xiangdong could provide him with retirement in the future.

"If you have money to buy a watch, you are a fool, but it is true to buy more food to fill your stomach." Silly Zhu muttered secretly, but his heart was very sore.

Xu Damao's eyes were full of jealousy.

This is Lin Xiangdong's first watch in the courtyard.

There are more than a dozen households in the courtyard house, many of them have alarm clocks, but Lin Xiangdong is the only one who bought a watch.

As for the alarm clock, Lin Xiangdong also has it at home.

"These days are getting more and more prosperous." Yan Bugui laughed.

"Third Master, you bought a bicycle. The First Master's house and Jia's house both have sewing machines. Where can I get here?" Lin Xiangdong said.

By the way, there is a radio in the room of the deaf old lady in the backyard!

Although Lin Xiangdong also has a bicycle now, it is not his, it is the property of the factory.

No matter whether it was Yi Zhonghai who lost his watch ticket or Jia Zhang who lost his gold ring, Lin Xiangdong was never suspected. After all, after analyzing it, he found it impossible.

……

Yi Zhonghai returned home, sat on the stool and pondered.

"Lin Xiangdong's parents still left money? How much?"
