After hearing that Su Wen agreed to his conditions, Xu Damao smiled happily, came up and put his arms around Su Wen's shoulders and said: "That's great, Xiao Wen! Let's go to Shuanghou Village together tomorrow morning. The unplanned pigs are from their village. They The village also has the little piglets you want. Just like your plan, their village also raised them secretly in the mountains. You bring two hundred yuan, which is considered a loan from me. I will pay you back when I sell the pork. I I don’t have enough money to buy a piglet.”
Su Wen listened and nodded in agreement.
After a night of silence, Xu Damao got up early the next morning. After washing, he saw that the lights in Su Wen's house were not yet turned on, so he knocked on the door.
Su Wen was woken up, got dressed, and asked, "Brother Damao, are you so anxious?"
Xu Damao whispered: "Can't you be anxious? I still have to sell out all the pork in two days. It will be difficult to sell after the Spring Festival."
The two of them had breakfast together in the alley, rode their bicycles, and soon arrived at Shuanghou Village. This village is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. Arrive at the village committee compound.
"Village Chief Hou, this is my neighbor, the buyer of the steel rolling mill. In addition to buying the unplanned pig today, I also want to buy ten more piglets. Fifteen yuan a head is no problem."
Su Wen handed his work permit and the letter of introduction from the Steel Rolling Factory to the village chief Hou. After checking that everything was fine, the village chief said with a smile: "No problem, go ahead and weigh this unplanned pig and give it to you." After killing it, you can take it back. After that, I will take you to pick out the piglets, but you have to blindfold them.
"Can."
The unplanned pig was weighed at 142 pounds. Xu Damao took out a handful of big black tens, counted 35 of them and handed them to the village chief. He still had twenty yuan left in his hand.
Under the leadership of the village chief and several villagers, the blindfolded two people stumbled to the location of the unplanned pig. The pigs are kept in a secluded spot in the mountains to avoid detection by the government. Su Wen and Xu Damao carefully selected ten healthy pigs and piglets and paid the village chief.
Then, they tied the pig and the piglet to the back seat of the bicycle. After leaving Shuanghou Village, Su Wen and Xu Damao parted ways. Su Wen wanted to send the piglet back to Sujiazhuang, and Xu Damao wanted to return to the city to sell pork.
Su Wen rode his bicycle and walked along the rugged mountain road for a while. He found a hidden corner and put the piglets in the space. He looked at the pheasants that were hatching eggs. Su Wen knew that he had to put the pheasants and the piglets together. The piglets were separated, otherwise the wild eggs would have been eaten by the piglets when they were older.
After finishing, Su Wen rode his bicycle back to the steel rolling mill in a leisurely manner.
There were five people in the large office of the Purchasing Department today. Zhu Minghua was a little surprised to see Su Wen coming. "Brother Wen, why are you here at this hour? You are about to get off work. I thought you wouldn't come today. You have to work a day tomorrow, and the Spring Festival gifts will not be distributed until tomorrow.
Su Wen smiled, walked into the office and sat down. He said: "I came to see if there is anything I can help with. After all, I am a member of the Procurement Department, so I still have to do my part."
Zhu Minghua looked like I didn't believe him, "Brother Wen is very enlightened."
Su Wen smiled and did not respond to Zhu Minghua's teasing.
Su Wen looked around the office and found that he had not seen the remaining people, so he took the initiative to say hello to them, "Hello, I am Su Wen. I was new here a month ago."
One of them raised his head and said, "New here? No wonder I'm unfamiliar with you."
Su Wen nodded, "Yes, I am new here. I have been busy with other things before, so I haven't had time to get to know you all. I hope to communicate more with you and work together in the future."
After listening to Su Wen's introduction, the others nodded friendly to him to express their welcome. One of them said: "No problem, we are all colleagues and we should help each other. If you need help, you can always come to us."
Su Wen nodded gratefully, "Okay. If you can help me, you're welcome."
Su Wen stayed in the office for a while. Zhu Minghua was the only one in the Purchasing Department office who was busy checking the bill forms, and the rest of the people were idle and had nothing to do. The main job of the third department of procurement is to go to the countryside to purchase supplies, and sitting in the office is just a rest.
Soon it was time to get off work. Su Wen was riding his bicycle on his way home. When he turned a corner in an alley, Su Wen bumped into someone. Su Wen reacted and jumped off the bicycle, causing the bicycle to fall. Opposite him, a young man with an inch hair who was hit by him sat down on the ground.
Su Wen quickly apologized to the other person, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was riding too fast and didn't notice you." He bent down and tried to help the man up.
The man waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at Su Wen, "It's okay, I didn't notice you either. Are you okay?"
Su Wen shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you." He looked back at the bicycle that fell on the ground and smiled awkwardly, "It seems I have to help it up."
The man also smiled and said, "Be careful while riding and don't hit anyone again."
Su Wen looked at the man gratefully, "Thank you, I will pay attention." He stepped on his bicycle and waved to the other person, "Goodbye, I wish you a happy day."
The man nodded and waved to Su Wen, "Goodbye, I wish you a safe journey."
Wang Qianqian was cooking in the kitchen when she heard the sound of a bicycle. She came out and saw that Su Wen was back. She said with a smile: "Su Wen has no soy sauce at home. Go get a bottle and come back."
"Okay, I'll go right here." Su Wen walked to the supply and marketing cooperative near the courtyard with an empty soy sauce bottle, handed over the empty soy sauce bottle, "Get a bottle of soy sauce." "
"Five cents," the salesman asked for money.
Su Wen put his hand into his pocket, and the few dollars in change he had put in his pants pocket were gone. Recall that it should have been stolen by the person he hit.
The salesperson asked in an impatient tone: "Do you want to add some soy sauce?"
Su Wen reached into the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, took out a big black ten and handed it to the salesperson.
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Give me ten yuan for a bottle of soy sauce. I can't find it."
Su Wen suppressed the anger in his heart and patiently explained: "I'm not here to cause trouble. The change I put in my trouser pocket was taken away. On the way back from get off work, I knocked down a man. He was very easy to talk to, and I was quite embarrassed. Yes, I didn’t expect him to have three hands.
When the salesman heard this explanation, his attitude changed slightly. He took Su Wen's big black ten bill and gave him 9.85 yuan in change.
Su Wen took the changed money and the soy sauce bottle and left the supply and marketing cooperative and returned home. He handed the soy sauce to Wang Qianqian, his tone a little low, "I just knocked down a person, and he took the change from my pocket. I took out the Big Black Ten to buy soy sauce, but the salesperson made things difficult for me. I almost didn’t buy it.”
