Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 23 Obtaining the bicycle ticket

In the morning, Jia Weidong got up on time. Before Qin Huairu got up, he put 20 kilograms of rice and 20 kilograms of white flour in the grain tank. He took a piece of meat and put it on the table. Then he left the yard, ran to the park to box, exercise, and went out. After sweating, I jogged home.

"Weidong, you are back. Breakfast will be ready soon. Today I steamed steamed buns stuffed with cabbage and pork, and cooked rice porridge." Qin Huairu was making breakfast and said after seeing Jia Weidong return.

"It's good to make meat buns. It's not like braised pork. The aroma of meat can be smelled in the whole hospital. Now that food is in short supply, the supply of pork in the vegetable market has almost stopped. On the black market, it's only 1 yuan and 50 pounds. Sister-in-law, we will have meat in the future." Eat secretly outside the door”

"Weidong, you're right. I'll tell Banggan later, don't show off outside," Qin Huairu nodded.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you sleep well at night? You don't look well."

"Well, I woke up when you went out at night and was worried about you. I didn't sleep until you came back."

"Sister-in-law, I've made you worried. Don't you think there's nothing wrong with me?"

"Silly boy!" Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Weidong

After breakfast, Jia Weidong walked out of the yard with a bucket in one hand and a fishing rod in the other. He walked towards the Wei's alley. When he arrived at the small yard he rented, he cleaned the yard inside and out.

After checking that the time was almost up, I rode my bicycle to the Dongzhimen store. I took my ticket and spent 3.7 yuan in the store to buy a line of Daqianmen cigarettes. I also bought a pound of White Rabbit toffee. I left the store and walked towards Shilibao. Forty minutes later Jia Weidong arrived at the textile factory.

"Hello, comrade!" Jia Weidong walked to the guard room and handed the guard at the door a large front door.

"What do you want, little comrade?" The guard at the gate saw Jia Weidong riding a bicycle, glanced at Jia Weidong, and asked after taking the cigarette.

"I'm looking for Lu Xiangyang and Director Lu from the logistics department of your factory."

"You're here to see Director Lu, right? Just wait in the guard room and I'll inform you." After the guard said this, he quickly walked to the office in the factory.

"It's Comrade Xiao Jia, come in with me quickly and sit in my office!" After waiting for about ten minutes, Lu Xiangyang hurried to the guard room, took Jia Weidong and left.

"Comrade Xiao Jia, you don't know, I have been looking forward to you these past two days."

"Director Lu, just call me Wei Dong or Dongzi"

"Weidong, do you have good news to tell me when you come today?"

"Yes, Director Lu, my relative has some fish on his hands now"

"How many there are, I want them all!" Director Lu said anxiously.

"About a thousand kilograms," Jia Weidong replied.

"One thousand kilograms, can you have more?" Director Lu said.

"this…"

"Weidong, one thousand kilograms is a lot, but there are so many people in our factory. Materials are in short supply now. Weidong, you don't know. The labor intensity of the workers in our factory, especially the female workers, is high. It’s been a long time. There has been no meat dishes in this canteen for a long time. The workers can’t hold on any longer. The output has dropped a lot during this period. If this continues, the workers will almost rebel.”

"Here, Director Lu, I..."

"Call me Uncle Lu. If you have any problems, Uncle Lu will help you solve it!"

"Uncle Lu, it's like this. There are indeed some fish, but my relative's son is getting married a year ago. The other party's family requires that there must be three turns and one ring, so he wants to sell it to the buyer of the steel rolling mill. That person promised to follow the rules The normal purchase price, plus give him bicycle tickets, watch tickets and some cloth tickets."

"Weidong, how many fish are there in your relatives' place?"

"He transported about 5,000 kilograms this time."

"Weidong, your Uncle Lu is having a hard time these days. You must help Uncle Lu."

"This, Uncle Lu..."

"Weidong, you sit here for a while, I'm going to discuss it with the factory director now." After speaking, Director Lu turned around and went to the factory director's office.

<divclass="contentadv">Ten minutes later, Director Lu returned to the office, holding two tickets in his hand and shaking them at Jia Weidong: "Weidong, the factory director decided to give a bicycle ticket and a watch I won't give you any tickets or cloth tickets. I'll just give you four pieces of cloth. What do you think?" The textile factory didn't have anything else, so it just had a lot of cloth.

"This... okay! Uncle Lu, but the fish is over at Dongzhimen, which is a bit far from our factory,"

"It doesn't matter. Our factory is responsible for transportation. I will go to the transportation team to transfer two vehicles now, and I will also load four pieces of cloth for you and bring them over."

"Uncle Lu, help me get one each of red, white, blue and blue floral flowers," Jia Weidong said

"No problem..." Director Lu said cheerfully

A quarter of an hour later, an old truck drove out of the gate of the textile factory. Jia Weidong sat in front and led the way. It took half an hour to reach the entrance of Weijia Hutong.

"Master, the car can't get in. It can only be parked on the side of the street at the entrance of the alley. Master, please wait here. I will pick it up." Jia Weidong handed the driver a bag of large front doors.

Jia Weidong started to work as a porter, carrying the cloth back to the small courtyard, and then loaded the fish. He picked the fish from the yard to the alley entrance and poured it into the carriage. Fortunately, he exercised tirelessly during this period and became much stronger. He was able to carry a hundred It's not difficult to weigh many pounds, and he took advantage of the space to directly pick two baskets, empty four baskets, and it was ready in forty minutes.

Back at the factory, Director Lu directed the car to drive directly to the canteen, and arranged for people to get out of the car and weigh them. The total number of fish in the car was 5,527 kilograms, 40 cents per kilogram, a total of 2,210 yuan and 80 cents. , the canteen director opened the order, and Director Lu took Jia Weidong to the Finance Department to collect the money.

"Uncle Lu, I have to go back quickly and give the money and tickets to my relative. I'll treat Uncle Lu to dinner next time I have time." Jia Weidong counted the money, put it into a cloth bag, and carried it on his shoulder. Seeing that it was almost noon, he hurriedly left. .

"Weidong, it doesn't matter whether you have food or not. Next time there are fish or other good things, just think of your Uncle Lu. It's hard to get supplies now, and it's hard for the uncle who is in charge of logistics!" Director Lu said while talking to him. As he spoke, he sent Jia Weidong to the factory gate.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, I will definitely come to you if there is another fish."

After leaving the textile factory, Jia Weidong excitedly rode his bicycle back to the courtyard of Wei's Hutong. He closed the courtyard door, entered the house, and entered the spatial living area with a thought.

I washed rice, cooked rice, braised pork, and stewed crucian carp soup. After eating and drinking, I went to the dormitory to rest for an hour.

After resting, Jia Weidong found space, hung bamboo baskets on both sides of the back seat of his bicycle, and pushed the bicycle out of the yard. I went to the daily miscellaneous department of Dongzhimen Store and bought twenty sacks, and went to the vegetable market and sold two baskets of fish. Then I went to the next store, the vegetable market, and walked around and bought a hundred sacks and sold ten baskets of fish. Jia Weidong's The deposit also exceeded 3,000 yuan.

When it was getting dark, Jia Weidong returned to the courtyard with a bucket in one hand and a fishing rod in the other.

"Weidong, how was your harvest today?"

As soon as I entered the front yard, I "bumped" into the third uncle.

"Third uncle, today's harvest is not bad!" Jia Weidong said, shaking the bucket he was carrying, and grabbed a silver carp and bighead carp weighing more than three kilograms from the bucket and handed it to the third uncle.

"This...Weidong, how can this be so embarrassing?"

"Third uncle, from now on I will never bother you in the yard or at school. There is no need for us to be so different."

"Then the third uncle accepted it shamelessly." The third uncle took it quickly, and Jia Weidong turned around and went home.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I put four carp weighing about three kilograms into the bucket.

"Mom, the harvest is good today. Give these fish to the first uncle, Silly Zhu, and Xu Damao's family. I gave them to the third uncle's house when I came back." Jia Weidong said to Jia Zhang after entering the house.

"Okay" Mrs. Jia Zhang agreed, stepped forward, took the bucket and went out.

"Sister-in-law, is dinner ready? I'm hungry."

"Ah, no, how about..."
