"Hi, hello, I'm Zhao Shanhe, introduced by factory director Chen Long."
After being disconnected for a long time, there was a message from the other end of the phone, "What on earth is that son of a bitch Chen Long planning to do with me? I'm laid off and no longer under the control of their cannery. You're calling me to harass me again. Believe it or not." Knock his brains out with a brick!"
Very urgent and violent!
Zhao Shanhe was a little frightened by the scolding with a pale face.
"Brother Bai, it's not Chen Long who's looking for you, it's me who's looking for you..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.
Holding back his energy, Zhao Shanhe dialed the phone again.
This time the call was not answered quickly, but it rang for a long time before the call was answered.
When the call was connected, there was another curse.
"I told you not to call me immediately. You have chicken feathers in your ears, but you still can't understand Nancheng dialect!"
Zhao Shanhe swallowed and said, "Brother Bai, why are you so eager to scold me before I finish saying this?"
"Hmph! Being acquainted with Chen Long shows that he is not a good person."
Zhao Shanhe sighed.
I don't know if Chen Long, who was beaten by Hu, was cuckolding him or digging up his family's ancestral graves. Even the mention of his name made him so angry.
"Brother Bai, I'm calling you to discuss making money with you."
Zhao Shanhe was very clever and could arouse Lao Bai's addiction with just a few words.
"What's the point of making money? Are you selling your blood or getting my waist?"
"Brother Bai, you are so funny. I am doing serious business. I don't dare to get involved in what you are talking about. I found out your name from Chen Long. I just contracted three production lines in the cannery, but I'm short of a truck driver. If you're free here, can you come and drive for me? Chen Long let me use the heavy-duty truck in the second branch factory for free. If you want to do it, I'll pay for it and you can pack up that heavy-duty truck first. , replace all the old and useless parts to ensure the safety of the car.”
"It's no problem to drive. I'm good at it. I can also repair cars. With this salary...how much can you give me?"
"How much money could you make every month in the Second Branch Factory?"
"Then what I used to do at the Second Branch was an iron job. Not only did I get a monthly salary of 45 yuan, but I also received 5 kilograms of meat stamps and 3 kilograms of gas stamps every month. In addition, every time I left the car, the factory also gave me a subsidy. Two boxes of Hademan, too.”
Speaking of the past, Lao Bai was quite impressive.
After all, driving a heavy truck in a cannery is a great job.
Driving a big car all over Nancheng, it feels very comfortable and elegant.
I thought I would be able to maintain a stable job for the rest of my life and have no worries about food and drink, but I didn't expect that I would be stopped halfway. I was laid off for such a long time, and Lao Bai relied on the few money he earned before.
But these days, daily firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, food, drinks, and toilets all cost money. There is also a family to support, and the 1,800 yuan in my hand is quickly spent.
When there is no money, every step is difficult.
"Brother Bai, what kind of job are you doing now?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"Squat at home!" Lao Bai was not a nagging person, but his words were too straightforward, which made people unable to accept him for a while.
Often such people are heartless and straight-tempered.
"In that case, you work for me, and I will give you 80 yuan every month, plus 5 pounds of meat coupons, and at the end of the month, I will add two pieces of red plum cigarettes as a subsidy."
On the other end of the phone, Lao Bai was stunned.
Clearing his throat, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
His voice was trembling. After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask: "You said your name is Zhao Shanhe. Are you Zhao Shanhe, the boss of Shanhe Shopping?"
"Yes, the shopping center is my business. I have contracted three production lines in the cannery. All I need is a driver who can drive. If you are satisfied with the conditions I offer, we will meet tomorrow morning and go to the main factory to take out the car. , help me clean it up, and connect the car’s oil pipe by the way.”
"Okay, you opened a business as big as a shopping mall, so you shouldn't be able to deceive me, a common man. Then we'll meet at the gate of the Second Branch Factory at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Lao Bai was still agitated and flipping through the Gregorian calendar cards. His wife, Ma Lanhua, saw that he was babbling attentively and asked quickly: "What's wrong? I answered the phone and ended up talking to Zhong." It seems so evil."
"Daughter-in-law, do you think I'm lucky?" Lao Bai pinched his cheek, which made Malanhua feel bad.
"What's wrong with you today? You're so angry. No matter what you do to pinch yourself, you'll get bruised." As she said that, Malanhua went to the cabinet to look for safflower oil.
While applying safflower oil on Lao Bai's face, Malanhua asked: "Lao Bai, tell me the truth, what's going on? Who called that call? Could it be that you are raising your wives outside?"
"Nonsense!" Lao Bai was a rough man, but he loved his wife very much. He pulled Bai Magnolia and sat beside the bed. "The person who called me just now was Zhao Shanhe, the owner of Shanhe Shopping Center. He asked me to drive for him. , give me 80 yuan a month, plus 5 pounds of meat stamps and 2 sticks of red plum cigarettes, you said I am not lucky."
"You agreed?" Malanhua asked.
"Why don't I pick up a golden lump that falls from the sky? Our family's life is getting better this time. Let's not cook at night. Let's go to a restaurant as a family of five!"
Lao Bai hurriedly took off Ma Lanhua's apron, got on the donkey, and pulled his father, mother, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and a family of five to a small restaurant in the city.
…
In the evening, before getting off work, Zhao Shanhe answered another phone call. The number was familiar to him. It was the public phone number of the health school.
When the call was connected, Su Xiaoyan's sweet voice came, which could shake one's bones.
"Brother-in-law, are you still working in the shopping mall?"
"Yes, I'll be off work in a while."
"Oh~"
"What's wrong? Are you being bullied at school? If someone dares to bully you, I will immediately go to support you with a stick."
Su Xiaoyan was amused on the other end of the phone, but there was a warmth in her heart, "No one bullied me, I just wanted to call you."
"Are you short of money? If you are short of money, I will ask Haozi to drive a tricycle to deliver it to you later."
"I don't lack anything, just...just..." Su Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed.
Zhao Shanhe felt itchy in his heart when he heard this, "What is that?"
"I bought you a belt. It's inconvenient for you to come and pick it up at the gate of our school."
"Belt?" Zhao Shanhe felt happy. Sure enough, his sister-in-law still missed him, "You are in school all day, how can you have time to go out and buy a belt?"
"Hey, why are you asking for such details? Anyway, I bought it for you. Do you like it? If not, I will throw it in the trash can." Su Xiaoyan said coquettishly.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll get it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shanhe drove a tricycle to the gate of Nancheng Health School.
By that time, it was getting dark.
