Chapter 109 Encounter with Xu Damao
In the next few days, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle around the villages close to the city and got acquainted with the village chiefs.
On Friday, He Yuzhu was going to go back to the Procurement Section of the Municipal Bureau to take a look. He took a dozen eggs from the space and prepared to hand them over for processing.
When I arrived at the Procurement Section of the Municipal Bureau, I saw Wang Bin there and said hello.
Wang Bin saw He Yuzhu and asked with a smile: "Master He, how has the harvest been these days?"
"Alas, I didn't get much. I worked hard around the surrounding villages and only received a few eggs." He Yuzhu put the eggs in his hand on Wang Bin's table.
When Wang Bin saw that He Yuzhu only received a dozen eggs, he smiled and comforted: "It's good if you get something. Many people come here and can't receive anything at all."
"The nearby villages can't receive anything. Next week I'm going to go to a farther village to have a look." He Yuzhu said pretending to be helpless.
"It's better to go to a village farther away. Many people don't want to go to distant villages for purchasing. Moreover, the villages near the mountains will have unexpected harvests, so you can try your luck."
"Okay, I'll take you to put these eggs into the warehouse first." After saying that, Wang Bin took He Yuzhu to the small warehouse of the Purchasing Department, put the eggs in the warehouse, got the order, and returned to the Purchasing Department to find The accountant received the money.
"For such a small amount of money, you don't need to go to the finance department, just ask our accountant in Corey."
"Thank you, Brother Wang. If it weren't for your help, I would have to make several trips."
"It's okay, I forgot. I should have told you before."
After receiving the money, He Yuzhu said goodbye to Wang Bin and left when he saw that nothing happened.
On Monday, He Yuzhu came to the Purchasing Department on time to attend the morning meeting.
Director Zhou first summarized the materials handed over by the Purchasing Department last week, and also praised the four of He Yuzhu. Although the four of them didn't get much, they still made zero breakthroughs. Let the four of them keep up their efforts and strive for more purchasing points.
Next, the tasks were assigned. He Yuzhu and the others had nothing to do. Tasks were assigned to old comrades.
After the meeting, He Yuzhu planned to go to Mentougou. He wanted to go into the mountains and have a look. He would have to stay outside for a few days before going home to say hello to Song Jinfeng.
Song Jinfeng: "How long will you be leaving this time?"
"Three or four days."
"Okay, remember to bring a gun. It's in the mountains. We not only have to guard against people, but also against wild beasts."
"Take it with you. Just be at home and wait for me to come back."
Song Jinfeng carried Xiao Ping'an to the door and watched He Yuzhu disappear on the street on his bicycle before returning home.
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle towards Mentougou. After riding for a long time, he arrived at Yushan Village.
When you meet a villager at the entrance of the village, no matter whether the other person can read or not, you must first show your ID and a letter of introduction. Ask the villagers to take him to the village chief.
The villagers brought He Yuzhu to the brigade headquarters. They heard someone talking inside and knew that someone was in the village chief's house.
The villager shouted first before taking He Yuzhu into the office. He Yuzhu accidentally discovered an acquaintance, Xu Damao.
Xu Damao also saw He Yuzhu who had just come in: "Silly Zhu, why are you here?"
He Yuzhu: "Si Mao, why can't I come here?"
After speaking, He Yuzhu came to the village chief, handed his work permit and letter of introduction to the village chief, and explained his purpose.
After learning about it, the village chief asked He Yuzhu: "Comrade He, do you know Projectionist Xu?"
He Yuzhu: "Village chief, you can just call me Xiao He. Xu Damao and I grew up together."
Village Chief: "Since Comrade Xiao He knows Projectionist Xu, I will inform you and save you from running from house to house."
He Yuzhu: "Village Chief, you see it's getting late now, and I can't go back. I'll stay in the village for one night, and I'll check in tomorrow?"
Village Chief: "The brigade headquarters does have a house, but there are no bedding."
He Yuzhu: "I brought it myself."
Village chief: "Okay then, I'll clean up a house for you."
Seeing the village chief go out, He Yuzhu threw a cigarette to Xu Damao: "I didn't expect you to be so easy on face."
"That's right, you don't even know who I am, and don't mention other places. Just mention my name in this countryside." Xu Damao said proudly.
"Really? Does that work?"
"That's right. We can't see a few movies all year round in this country. If you don't fawn over me, I can control what you want to watch and how long you want to watch it. As long as you serve me well, you can watch more movies. Otherwise, just leave it alone. Leave it alone, and you won’t be able to see if something goes wrong.”
"Aren't you afraid something will go wrong?"
"I'll just get some food and drink. What could go wrong? Besides, who would want to come to this poor ravine if they can't eat or drink.
By the way, why are you here? You're not a cook, so why are you doing the purchasing? "
"I'm bored in the kitchen. Come out and run around to relax."
He Yuzhu thought that it was 61 years now and it was time for Jia Dongxu to die, so he asked casually: "How are the people in the courtyard doing now?"
"What else can we do? Just like that. After you moved out, a few more people moved in, most of them workers from the steel rolling mill. The old man covered the sky with his hands in the yard and organized several donations."
Um? I didn’t mention Jia Dongxu. Could it be that Jia Dongxu is not there yet? When exactly will Jia Dongxu come?
At this time, the village chief also came back, and He Yuzhu stopped thinking about it.
Village chief: "The house has been tidied up for you. I'll take you there."
He Yuzhu: "Thank you, village chief."
Xu Damao: "I'll go take a look too."
He Yuzhu took out the bedding from the bamboo basket tied to the back of the bicycle and followed the village chief to the arranged room. "
There was nothing in the room, just a bed. But the village chief kept it very clean.
"Thank you, village chief." He Yuzhu thanked him again.
Village Chief: "In the evening, we will entertain projectionist Xu. You can come too."
"Thank you, village chief." He Yuzhu took out some stick noodles and handed them to the village chief: "This is my food and accommodation expenses."
"Hey, what are you doing? It's just about having extra pairs of chopsticks." The village chief waved his hand.
"Everyone is not rich now, but I will come often in the future. If you don't accept it, how can I have the nerve to come here in the future?" He Yuzhu argued with the village chief.
Xu Damao: "Village Chief, just accept it. When Silly Zhu comes again in the future, just give him more help."
The village chief accepted it after the persuasion of Xu Damao and He Yuzhu.
After the village chief left, Xu Damao said to He Yuzhu in a timid manner: "Silly Zhu, what do you think? With me, you can save a lot of trouble in the future. Do you have to treat me to something good when you go back?"
He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll treat you to a good meal when I get back."
Because there was a movie to be shown in the evening, dinner was eaten early. Not long after He Yuzhu packed up the room, the village chief came to order dinner.
The dinner was cooked by the village cook, and it tasted pretty good. The village chief also spent a lot of money to please Xu Damao, stewing a chicken, rabbit, etc.
