Chapter 15 Xu Damao’s request for help(2/2)
There are not many good people.”
Ah this?
Ye Guoqiang looked at Xu Damao and wanted to laugh for some reason.
It's really funny that the person recognized by the whole hospital as a bad person actually says that other people are not good people.
"Silly Zhu, you're a reckless man. If you can't talk to someone, you'll hit them."
"My uncle, Yi Zhonghai, looks fair and selfless on the surface, but in fact he is just like the deaf old lady in the backyard, he likes to take sides."
"Not to mention Mrs. Jia and Zhang. Even if she doesn't move now, she might cause something bad that day. This old guy Yi Zhonghai will only favor the Jia family."
As he spoke, Xu Damao's expression gradually began to distort, and when he talked about the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai, his tone became even more serious.
It can be seen that unpleasant things happened between him, Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family.
As for what happened, Xu Damao did not tell Ye Guoqiang.
"Brother, I would like to advise you, the water in the courtyard is too deep, don't get too close to the people there, otherwise you will suffer."
Finally, Xu Damao patted Ye Guoqiang's shoulder sincerely.
"I know, thank you, Brother Xu." Ye Guoqiang nodded and asked, "Brother Xu hasn't said why you are looking for me?"
"Hey, look at my memory."
Xu Damao slapped his forehead and hurriedly stated his purpose.
Actually it's not a big deal.
Seeing that Ye Guoqiang had obtained so many supplies, Xu Damao came to ask him if he could help him get some rare items.
Xu Damao had already prepared the betrothal gift, but he always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he realized that something important was missing.
The betrothal gift prepared by Xu Damao was actually quite generous, which was already remarkable in the eyes of ordinary people.
But who is Lou’s father?
People who were able to set up factories before liberation were not ordinary people. What have you not seen before?
The little thing he prepared really didn't catch Lou's father's eye.
Xu Damao is also a face-conscious person.
He also knew that Lou's father had always had a problem with him, so he wanted to take advantage of the betrothal gift to impress him.
After saying that, Xu Damao looked at Ye Guoqiang longingly.
"Something rare?"
Ye Guoqiang stretched out his right index finger and gently rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
He really has something that can be called a rarity in his home.
That was the stack of books that the old leader asked Secretary Hu to send. The book contained the old leader's personal annotations.
However, Ye Guoqiang planned to pass down those books as heirlooms of the Ye family and could not give them to Xu Damao.
The book is actually nothing. What matters is the comments from the old leader, and Father Lou may not know the stuff.
In the mall space, there are many products from later generations that are considered rare items in this era, but they are not convenient to take out.
At this time, Ye Guoqiang suddenly remembered that an uncle from the army came to see him last month and he gave him something, including a bottle of Maotai.
The uncle said that he brought the wine to Ye Guoqiang specially because he believed that a man needs to drink.
Ye Guoqiang couldn't laugh or cry at that time.
He doesn't like drinking, especially liquor.
Unable to resist the uncle's enthusiasm, Ye Guoqiang had no choice but to accept it.
Later, I learned from Secretary Hu that the two bottles of Maotai were specially supplied and only the top leaders of the department could share them.
He originally wanted to give it to Secretary Hu, but Secretary Hu didn't like to drink either, so he had to lock it in the cabinet.
When he told Xu Damao that he had a special bottle of Moutai at home, Ye Guoqiang added: "This thing is quite rare. I wonder if Brother Xu is satisfied with it?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied!" Xu Damao said happily.
These days, even ordinary Moutai is hard to buy, let alone the special ones.
It will definitely be more honorable to take it out!
"But..." Ye Guoqiang glanced at Xu Damao without clarifying his words.
He believed that Xu Damao was a smart man and knew what he meant.
Sure enough, Xu Damao heard the meaning of Ye Guoqiang's words and began to think.
On the market, ordinary Maotai is about three yuan, but because it is difficult to buy, there is a certain premium.
Xu Damao gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and stretched out five fingers towards Ye Guoqiang: "I will pay fifty yuan for that bottle of Maotai."
"fifty dollars?"
Ye Guoqiang was a little scared.
Having lived in this era for several months, he is well aware of the purchasing power of fifty yuan.
Most workers in the steel rolling mill earn less than 50 yuan a month, but Xu Damao was willing to spend 50 yuan on a bottle of wine.
"Sixty, I'll pay sixty?" Seeing that Ye Guoqiang didn't say anything, Xu Damao thought he was dissatisfied with the price, so he cruelly added ten yuan more.
Sixty yuan was his salary for nearly two months, and Xu Damao was really reluctant to part with it.
But when I think about the Lou family's situation, I feel a little disdainful of the sixty yuan.
Seeing that Ye Guoqiang had not spoken yet, Xu Damao cried and played the emotional card: "Brother Ye, sixty yuan is all I have now, so please help me."
"Okay, I'll help Brother Xu with this."
Only then did Ye Guoqiang react and agreed to Xu Damao.
After agreeing on a trading time, the two returned to their jobs.
After get off work, the workers walked out of the steel rolling mill happily carrying their share of benefits.
Listening to the workers' praise of Ye Guoqiang, Jia Dongxu pursed his lips and dismissed it.
He thought it was a lot, but he ended up getting less than half a catty of meat, half a catty of white flour, and one catty of rice. He was really stingy.
You, Ye Guoqiang, are so capable, why don’t you do more?
Jia Dongxu complained a few words in his mind before rushing to the courtyard.
Siheyuan.
Everyone returned home one after another, and the aroma of food wafted through the courtyard.
"Old lady, this is the Spring Festival benefit given out by the factory." As soon as Yi Zhonghai entered the door, he put one pound of fat meat, two pounds of flour, two pounds of rice, five eggs and two apples on the table.
"Hey, why do you have so many? I don't think Jia Dongxu can do much?" The eldest mother wiped her hands and walked over happily to put the things away.
"What level is Jia Dongxu? What level am I?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head and was quite dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu in his words, "I have warned him to focus on work, but he turned out to be good. He only thought about his wife.
If you are in a sluggish mood, something will happen sooner or later."
Before getting married, Jia Dongxu was fine and willing to focus on work. But after getting married, he changed his mind. He was thinking about the things between the couple all day long.
But this can’t be entirely blamed on Jia Dongxu.
If there is a beautiful daughter-in-law at home, every man will miss her.
"I heard that these supplies were brought back by Ye Guoqiang?" Auntie asked curiously after putting away the things.
"Hey, who would have thought that a farmer from the countryside could have such great abilities." Yi Zhonghai nodded and sighed with an ugly face.
At this time, he felt very regretful.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have stood up for the Jia family in the first place.
It's a pity that there is no regret in selling medicine in this world.
…
Years later, everyone in the courtyard received shocking news.
