Rebirth: My 80s

"Brother, please go back to the village and say hello. We are going to the provincial capital. The city banks don't have enough money."

Biaozi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay. When can you get back? Tomorrow is..."

"I promised to return before the New Year's Eve dinner and before dark. Brother, take good care of mom and the others and don't let anyone cause trouble."

"I know!"

At the city post and telecommunications office, Li Jiankun borrowed their phone and called Biaozi back to the county seat.

The leaders of the prefectural committee came forward. The bank lobby manager Xu Chunhua changed his previous arrogance, made amends and apologized, and successfully met President Zhong. However, they really did not have so much cash in the bank, which was far from enough.

For this reason, we cannot expect their efficiency and can only withdraw money from the head office in the provincial capital.

Fortunately, the leaders of the prefectural committee helped to contact them, and they were 100% committed to making arrangements.

Li Jiankun declined the dinner, and naturally resumed the pager project in Haizhou area. He left hastily, took his uncle and others, took the Yellow River truck and went straight to the provincial capital——

The reason why I brought my uncle with me was because he was not familiar with the soldiers and civilians. On the contrary, these soldiers and civilians always followed his lead.

It's just that Li Jiankun didn't expect that the city bank would break the appointment. If he had known that he would give up using soldiers and civilians as "bodyguards" and let his uncle stay in Qingxidian, that way the family would be more secure.

Now there is no time to make temporary adjustments. There is no time to delay.

The unreliability of the city bank disrupted his plan. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. If he didn't take the money back before dark, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Jiankun, that factory you run can also cooperate with the Post and Telecommunications Bureau on large projects. Even the prefectural committee pays so much attention to it?"

In the car, the shock on the face of the old man Guiyi still lingered. He could not forget that the leaders of the prefectural committee treated his little nephew with no less respect and courtesy than the leaders of the Municipal Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

If the nephew hadn't declined politely, not to mention the invitation to dinner, the leader of the prefectural committee would have suggested that he go to Qingxidian to visit, praising the area for producing a great talent.

"Uncle, times have changed, and now we advocate the development of the private economy." Li Jiankun smiled, not understanding much, and it was difficult to explain clearly, and he was unwilling to make up lies to his uncle.

"That man named Xu can drink a pot this time." In the back row, militia captain Li Dajiang looked relieved.

Ordinary people have had the experience of being looked down upon, ignored, and made things difficult for people like Xu Chunhua. Jiankun's move is a real relief.

In front of their president, the leaders of the prefectural committee issued instructions on the grounds that "his behavior is not suitable for his current position" and required Xu Chunhua to be sent back to the grassroots level to re-learn and train.

This guy's job as a respectable bank lobby manager has finally come to an end.

"Nowadays, some people occupy their positions and do nothing. Without enemies, they focus their temper and spearhead on the common people. This is bound to cause problems." Guiyi, an old man, lamented.

Li Jiankun was convinced. He wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

In the final analysis, you still need to be strong in order to make iron.

If he was just an ordinary citizen, if he was bullied by Xu Chunhua, he would be bullied, and there would be no way.

That’s why we have to struggle.

Individuals are small and cannot change the general environment. All we can change is ourselves.

The trip was not close, and there was no highway to go on. The Yellow River truck was traveling at a speed of forty or fifty yards. It took five hours, and at around three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the Provincial Construction Bank compound.

Thanks to the help of the Haizhou Prefectural Committee, everything went relatively smoothly, and a vice president came forward to receive them.

"Thirty million in cash can be arranged. Manager Li, your company's business is so urgent. Today is the 29th of the Lunar New Year. There is only more than an hour until get off work, so there is definitely not enough time."

According to Vice President Zhang, he wanted Li Jiankun to take part of it first for emergencies, and the rest would be dealt with later in the year.

As the Spring Festival approaches, it happens to be the busiest time for banks.

"President Zhang, if there's no rush, we won't bother going to the Haizhou Prefectural Committee. We must get the money before noon...11 o'clock tomorrow. Could you please help us?"

Vice President Zhang just suggested this. He had already been forced to make a promise, but there was nothing he could do: "Okay, I will try my best to arrange it, but I can't guarantee that it can be done in the time you mentioned. Thirty million is not a small amount, and it is very difficult to order."

After expressing his gratitude, Li Jiankun extended an invitation: "I would like to thank you after get off work and bring the comrade in charge of this matter to have a casual meal together."

Vice President Zhang smiled: "That's easy to say."

The task is assigned immediately.

In the evening, Li Jiankun set up a table in a nearby state-owned hotel with private rooms. Vice President Zhang attended with five people. After three drinks, he stood up and took out the red envelope he had prepared:

"It's the New Year, and everyone has to be so busy. I can't refuse a New Year's greeting."

They are all bankers. As soon as they touch the thickness of the red envelope, they can estimate the thickness with high probability. They are both frightened and happy at the same time.

Vice President Zhang looked to the left and right with a smile on his face: "Manager Li is so polite, we can't delay his important event. Come on, comrades, work hard to get it done before 11 o'clock tomorrow morning."

All five people said they were sure.

Li Jiankun sighed secretly.

Silent all night.

When the bank opened the next day, Li Jiankun and others came over.

The bank had specially arranged an internal area for this matter. They could not enter it and could only see through the glass. There were several iron cabinets the size of freezers. Bundles of banknotes were taken out from them, and a row of banknote counting machines simultaneously Start working without stopping for a moment, almost no smoke...

-

Qingxidian.

As the sun sets, at this time in previous years, every household would put up Spring Festival couplets. After the Spring Festival couplets are posted, people will no longer visit each other today, and each family will prepare their own New Year's Eve dinner.

The door of Lao Li's house is open, and there are people inside and outside the courtyard.

The couplets of Lao Li's house must not have been posted, and there was no smoke rising from the chimney, so there was no New Year atmosphere.

And as the sun sets further to the west, the atmosphere becomes more and more tense, and the air is filled with factors of anxiety, restlessness, anger and impulsiveness.

"Where is the person? The eldest son of the Li family, we have been waiting here all day!"

"The promise will be fulfilled today. If you dare to keep your word..."

Li Jianxun leaned on the wooden lintel of the courtyard gate, and looked at the entrance of the village from time to time. He noticed that there were people making noises, and he was afraid that they would start the rhythm, so he hurriedly interrupted:

"Don't worry, everyone! We agreed, but we also agreed to do it before the New Year's Eve dinner. It's not dark yet. As you all know, my brother took my uncle to get some money. I will definitely be back before dark. ”

"Humph!"

"It better be this way!"

The atmosphere temporarily stabilized, and creditors continued to wait patiently.

Half an hour passed, and the blood-red sun was about to disappear on the top of the mountain, leaving only a thin edge and painted clouds. Biaozi felt sweat on his forehead and prayed in his heart: Jiankun, Jiankun, please go back quickly, otherwise something big will happen if you don't.

Some people just watch the fun and don't mind it.

Li Jianqiang was holding a white porcelain bowl, which contained the crispy fish and meatballs fried by his mother. His mouth was full of oil after eating. Li Dazhuang was holding the cigarette his son brought back from outside and followed behind. The two father and son walked along the loess road in the village. , while walking towards the crowded hill, he spoke openly:

“I really admire the patience of these people.”

"Isn't it? This year has been a waste."

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days. Why did Li Jiankun take Li Guiyi out with him? Most likely he wanted to move reinforcements somewhere. Didn't Li Guiyi want to do this last time? He must not have expected that now, let alone our county, the surrounding areas It’s all a mess, and it can’t even deal with the messy things in the city gates, so it doesn’t have the energy to take care of the countryside.”

"It makes sense, my son is indeed smart."

Li Jianqiang glanced at him sideways, and Li Dazhuang hurriedly stopped talking and smiled coquettishly.

"Hey, are you saying that Li Jiankun can't bring back the money?" People from other villages nearby looked at Li Jianqiang. They had already noticed this glamorous man with extraordinary bearing, thinking that the other person must know more than they did.

Li Jianqiang looked back at the eyes that fell on him and chuckled: "Hey guys, can you understand the concept of 30 million? Let me tell you this, I run a clothing factory in Italy , where I live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, sleep with... well, foreign girls, foreigners always call me "boss" when they see me. My annual profit is only a million yuan.

“I will earn thirty million for thirty years!

"No matter how talented Li Jiankun is, he still makes a living in China. Can he compare here with Italy?

"He has been around for so many years and knows that something is wrong with his family, but he just brings back one million. He can't earn 30 million for a hundred years?

"Look, have you seen that pigsty? Put 30 million in it and it will blow up! With the few people Li Jiankun brought, even if you give them 30 million, they can't even count them in two days if they sit down. ”

Li Dazhuang said in support: "Comrades, you are just wasting your time. If you have the time, why not go home and sleep on the pillow, that way the money will come faster."

The nearby villagers suddenly became agitated, full of hostility, and began to push forward, as if a virus was contagious. The area from back to front became increasingly unquiet. At this time, the thin edge of the sunset also set on the mountain tops, and the creditors' patience endured. To the limit.

"Arrest them, arrest their whole family!"

"Put this one down at the door first!"

"Beat Li Guifei to death!"

"Damn it, if you don't let me live, no one in their family will survive!"

The creditors on the ground rushed to the courtyard door; the creditors inside the house kicked open the door of the room where Guifei Lazy Guy, Yuying Madam, Li Yunshang and Li Yunmeng were hiding.

Li Yunmeng was so frightened that he cried loudly.

Li Yunshang is not much better than her.

Madam Yuying stood in front of her two daughters and knelt down to kowtow to her creditors.

The lazy guy Guifei was knocked down by a few punches and collapsed to the ground.

Biaozi had been captured long ago, and he didn't know where he was at this moment. His roar resounded over the chaotic house:

"Don't mess around. Don't mess around. My brother will pay back the money. Just wait a little longer. He will definitely bring the money back. Please!"

However, facing a pair of scarlet eyes, he looked so pale and helpless.

At the foot of the hill outside the house, Li Jianqiang was burping, and Li Dazhuang offered a cigarette at the right time. The former exhaled a mouthful of white mist comfortably: "Hey, it's so miserable."
