Xu Dahai also feels that the salary of Huang Wei, the manager of the foreign trade company, should be increased. After all, talents are rare. If the latter is dissatisfied with the salary, he can start a business and become his own boss.

That was undoubtedly a big loss for Xu Dahai and Shen Feng.

"If we want a salary increase, we have to discuss it with Shen Feng, but I can give Huang Wei a bonus now, so I'll give him 5 yuan first."

noon.

Feilong stew, cabbage and pork stew with vermicelli, fish stew that was not finished from the last meal, and rice.

After a meal.

Xu Dahai put on a thick cotton-padded jacket, rode a 28-meter pole to the countryside, and sent a telegram to Huang Wei.

After that, I went to Lao Wu's place for a walk. When I got home, it was almost dark.

Wednesday, April 1988, 12.

Early in the morning, a tractor spewed black smoke and drove into Xujiatun.

"Woof woof woof~"

The morning mist drifts slowly, and there is rime on the tree branches, which is covered with silver and is very beautiful.

The small mountain village is very quiet. Most of the villagers haven't gotten up yet. Only some old people who are young have gotten up. Occasionally, there are bursts of coughing.

"Go! Go! Go."

Xu Dahai wore a thick cotton-padded jacket, chased away the dogs, and walked out of the house.

"Yang Datou! You're so fat!"

There was a tractor parked at the entrance of the courtyard. Yang Datou, one of the Three Idiots of Longxing Township, was wearing a bloated thick cotton-padded jacket and was sitting in the driver's seat.

His face was red, but he was in good spirits, and his head seemed bigger.

"Yeah, the food and drinks in Dalian are good, hehe... Boss, where are the antiques on the car unloaded?"

"It's too cold. Let's go inside to warm ourselves up and drink a bowl of hot water. Don't be in a hurry. We'll unload the car later."

In addition to Yang Datou, there were two young men wearing thick cotton-padded jackets in the carriage. They were huddled in the corner, facing the back of the carriage, shivering, as if they were frozen like third grandchildren.

There are also a large number of wooden boxes on the car, tied with ropes.

Xu Dahai let Yang Datou and the two young people into the house. The hot air hit their faces and made them feel comfortable. They sat down in the back room to chat and drink hot tea.

Wang Xiuxiu also brought a large plate of pine nuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, hairy nuts and other things.

"How's it going at the company these days?"

"Okay, great! Many officials from supply and marketing cooperatives came to our company, and they are all willing to cooperate with us! What a great attitude!"

Yang Datou is sitting on a stool, with a strong body, a slightly hunched back, and shining eyes:

"One time when I returned to the company, there happened to be a few people from the supply and marketing cooperative in Mr. Huang's office, but I didn't go in.

After a while, a fair-looking guy wearing a Chinese tunic suit and glasses came out to smoke.

I'm a rough guy and dirty, so how dare I get close to someone else? But that guy came over to talk to me, talking like a comrade, and even handed me a cigarette, what a cigarette! "

Yang Datou specially emphasized that it was "good smoke", which instantly made Xu Dahai laugh.

The two young men who followed Yang Datou, one surnamed Li and the other Zhang, who were not yet 20 years old, also laughed.

Yang Datou continued:

“I asked him who he was from Gaha, and he said he was the deputy director of some kind of supply and marketing cooperative, and he started chatting with me.

At that time, I thought to myself: Sir, in normal times, it would be difficult for me to even see him, but now he is handing me cigarettes. "

Yang Datou raised the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and looked sullen. In an instant, Xu Dahai, Li, and Zhang burst into laughter again.

Wang Xiuxiu, who was making noodles in the main room, also laughed.

After laughing, Xu Dahai asked the other party what he was talking about. Yang Datou took a big sip of hot tea. The warmth flowed, dispelling the chill, and made him feel comfortable:

“They just asked me what kind of work I usually do, whether I am tired, how much my salary is, whether I can speak Japanese, etc.

In fact, you're just trying to trick me. Do you really think I'm stupid? I just dealt with him casually. When he heard that I could earn more than 300 yuan a month, his eyes widened and he was very surprised, hahaha~

I guess he can't earn more than 300 yuan a month. Didn't you see Xiaohai? His expression at that time was so funny. "

After resting for half an hour.

Everyone left the house, backed the tractor into the yard, and started unloading wooden boxes.

The dogs were running around wagging their tails, sniffing the wooden boxes and wondering what was inside.

Xu Dahai went to his mother's yard and asked her to come over and help with cooking.

Although Yang Datou, Xiao Li, and Xiao Zhang were his subordinates, it was freezing cold and they had come from afar. Naturally, they were also guests, so they still had to prepare a table full of good wine and good food.

There were a lot of boxes and they were constantly being moved. Soon, Yang Datou and the other three were sweating on their foreheads and panting.

Only Xu Dahai seemed to be fine, and his transport speed was much faster than them.

Put all the boxes on the west side of the yard. In the summer, there were patches of eggplant and cucumber vegetables there, but now they are covered with thick snow.

The yard is very big. I don’t usually come here, so it’s a good place to put things.

Xiao Li's name is "Li Zhiqiang" and he has a long face. While carrying the box, he whispered to Xiao Zhang:

"I'm so tired. My calves are shaking. How about we take a rest."

"The boss hasn't taken a break yet. Shall we take a break?"

Xiao Zhang's name is "Zhang Wei". He listens to the sizzling and clanking sounds of cooking in the house, and smells the strong fragrance wafting in the air.

Looking at the boss who is serious about moving boxes, he feels that his boss is quite down-to-earth. He feels that it doesn’t matter if the boss doesn’t move the boxes. He and the others are paid, so moving boxes is their job.

I heard Xiao Zhang say this.

Xiao Li could only grit his teeth and persist, but in the end it only took him one cigarette.

Sudden.

Xiao Li took a box and felt that the box was extremely heavy. His legs were sore and his arms were sore. After just a few steps, he couldn't hold on any longer.

He staggered, bent his right leg, and knelt directly on the ground.

Click~

The wooden box also fell to the ground. There was a crisp sound coming from the box, and Xiao Li's face suddenly turned pale.

"What's wrong, are you okay? Get up quickly." Xu Dahai quickly put down the box and helped him up.

Yang Datou and Xiao Zhang also put down their boxes and came over, asking questions.

"Boss... the antiques in the box may be broken." Xiao Li's eyes were full of fear, he struggled in his heart, and finally spoke tremblingly.

"Get up first and then talk."

Xu Dahai took a crowbar from the warehouse, inserted it into the gap, pressed down hard, and opened the box with a click.

Surrounded by tight straw, there are more than a dozen seals in the middle, some large and some small, with different colors, quite exquisite. In addition, there are several jade carvings made of Hetian jade.

"It's not broken, don't be afraid, it's okay."

Xu Dahai carefully played with each seal or jade carving, and said with a smile:

"When you're tired, take a rest and move it later. Okay, I'll move this box of things into the house first."

Xu Dahai entered the house and placed several pieces of exquisite jade on the cabinet, which looked good to play with.

Once upon a time, these jade articles may have been enjoyed by the emperor, princes, high officials and the like.

But time has changed, and the person he once was has long since disappeared, and from now on he is just a decoration in his house.

"Meow~"

The big fat cat was curious about everything, jumped up on the cabinet, snored and came over, rubbing its head against the jade.
