Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

"What? Do you need two more small yellow croakers?"

In the tavern, as soon as Xu Damao spoke, he encountered strange looks from the people around him and quickly lowered his voice.

"Secretary Huang, we have an agreement. As long as eight small yellow croakers, you can make me the leader of the Ordnance Research Institute."

Xu Damao looked at Huang Renfa, who was sitting opposite and drinking slowly, and his heart was filled with anger.

Just yesterday, when he sent out the two small yellow croakers, this man patted his chest and promised that the order would be issued soon.

Xu Damao went home last night, but he already regarded himself as a leader in front of Qin Jingru.

Now this person actually tells himself that he still needs more money.

Naturally, Xu Damao was so angry about this kind of failure to keep his promise that he forgot the identity of Secretary Huang.

It's a pity that Huang Renfa has encountered this kind of situation many times in recent years and has long been accustomed to it.

I saw him pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp, pick up a piece of beef with soy sauce with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and chew it slowly.

From time to time, they even exclaimed: "The beef in sauce today is really good. All the flavor is soaked into the beef, and the heat is just right."

His unhurried look made Xu Damao sober up.

Yes, the person in front of me is the secretary of the big leader. If I really offend him, he will definitely put on my shoes in the future.

Besides, he had already spent so much money. If he had a falling out with Huang Renfa at this time, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?

Furthermore, he had already patted his chest in front of Qin Jingru and promised that he would definitely become a leader. If he failed, he would have no status in front of Qin Jingru in the future.

Ever since Qin Jingru was arranged by Wang Weidong to work as an announcer in the steel rolling mill, Qin Jingru was no longer the little rural girl she was when she first entered the capital, and she no longer respected Xu Damao as much as before. She even didn't want Xu Damao to go to bed these days.

Even if Xu Damao occasionally made Qin Jingru happy and went to bed, Qin Jingru would deal with it hastily and look down on him from time to time.

Qin Jingru's indifference made Xu Damao, a man, feel insulted. He only came close to finishing several times, but he became dejected.

Only by becoming a leader can he become a real man again.

No, you can't offend the person in front of you.

After thinking about this, Xu Damao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced out a smile: "Huang, Secretary Huang, have I encountered any difficulties with my affairs?"

When Huang Renfa saw Xu Damao's respectful look, he put down his chopsticks and looked up at him: "Little comrade, it's me who is so generous. Otherwise, with your grumbling words just now, I would be able to get rid of your information from Da Mao."

Throw it out of the leader’s closet!”

Hearing this, Xu Damao was not angry but happy: "So, my file materials have been delivered to the big boss?"

"Do you think I really just take money and do nothing?" Huang Renfa plucked his teeth and said: "In Sijiu City, you can ask everywhere about my reputation, Huang Dafa! I can't do anything for anyone who asks me to do something.

It fits snugly."

"Yes, yes..." Xu Damao licked his face and smiled.

Huang Renfa's eyes widened: "It's good for you. You just encountered a small setback, and you dare to blame me! Do you think that the position of leader of the research institute is just a cabbage, and anyone can take it?"

"That can't be..." Xu Damao was so scared that he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Huang Dafa was delighted. Sure enough, to deal with this kind of people, we should adopt a strategy of turning against customers.

He continued with a straight face: "Originally, I have already negotiated with the big boss. This position will definitely belong to you. Who would have thought that now there are two more competitors."

With that said, Huang Dafa winked at Xu Damao: "Competitor, do you know what it means?"

"I know, I know...Although I graduated from elementary school, I have read a lot of books over the years." Xu Damao's face was livid with fear.

"It's good to study, man, you have to read more books to understand the truth." Huang Dafa then made some nonsense, and his tone suddenly became serious: "Those two people are very powerful, and now the big leader can't make up his mind for a while.

Got an idea."

Hearing this, Xu Damao became a little anxious: "Secretary Huang, I set my sights on this position first. Besides, I..."

"I know your contribution, why don't you come here specifically to tell you personally? If it were anyone else, I wouldn't care about this kind of thing."

"Thank you, Secretary Huang. Don't worry, if you need anything else, just ask."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth when he said this, but he had no choice now.

After all, so many small yellow croakers have been given away. If all the efforts are wasted at this time, then the previous investment will be in vain.

Huang Dafa was waiting for Xu Damao's words, but he was not in a hurry and instead picked up the wine glass.

As a professional "liar", Huang Dafa knew that at this time, he had to put on airs.

You have to hold it, stretch it, and show that you are not anxious at all, so that the big fat sheep opposite will become anxious and rush to stuff the little yellow croaker into your pocket.

If you make such a request impatiently, then the big fat sheep will start to mutter, is this kid just trying to defraud me of my money?

It must be said that Huang Dafa, a member of the commune who has never gone to school, was able to deceive so many educated people, and he was very accurate in understanding the psychology of people who asked him to do things.

No, when Xu Damao saw that Huang Dafa was just drinking without making any demands, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.

'Did I offend him just now? No, I have to find a way to make amends.'

Seeing that the wine glass was empty, Xu Damao quickly stood up and filled it for Huang Dafa: "Secretary Huang, I was so rude just now. You were so kind to me, and I didn't realize it. It was really inappropriate.

From today on, no matter what you say, what I do, as long as I can get to the leadership of the Ordnance Research Institute, I will promise you anything."

"You boy, you have such a good mouth, you are really born to be a leader. Otherwise, I really don't want to care about your nonsense!"

Huang Dafa put on a 'forgive you' look, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking at Xu Damao with a smile: "You may not know that there are many people waiting for this position, and I won't even give you that little thing."

Didn't notice it."

"Yes...yes..." After hearing this, Xu Damao became even more obedient, and quickly helped Huang Dafa pour wine.

He bent over and whispered: "I will send the little yellow croaker tomorrow. As for the antiques..."

Xu Damao was a little hesitant. Although the antiques of this era could not be sold at high prices, the ones left by the Lou family were all rare treasures. If they were to be exposed to the world again, they might cause big trouble.

"You, just put your heart in your stomach. The antiques are for the big boss. Can the big boss sell you?" Huang Dafa laughed at Xu Damao while drinking.

"Yes, yes...then of course it can't be done."

Xu Damao laughed twice, and the doubts in his heart completely disappeared.

Yes, if the antique is in the hands of a big leader, who dares to trace its origin?

.....

Xu family.

As soon as Qin Jingru opened the door, she saw Xu Damao getting under the bed with his butt stuck out.

"Oh, Damao, what are you doing? There's so much dust down there. When your clothes get dirty, you can wash them off yourself."

Qin Jingru curled her lips and said.

"Hurry up and close the door. I have business to do." Xu Damao poked his head out from under the bed in fright.

After closing the door, Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao pulling out a shabby box from under the bed, and asked curiously: "This should be something left by your ex-wife. What's wrong, you want to take it out now?"

"Don't worry!"

Xu Damao opened the box, took a look at it, put the box into a canvas bag with a look of reluctance, and then wrapped it with an old sheet.

Making the box look like a bag of old clothes, he carefully picked it up in his arms and rushed out of the house.

When the figure disappeared from the door, a word floated in the cold air.

"Jingru, you don't have to wait for me to eat tonight."

"Humph, I went to give a gift to that bastard secretary again!"

Seeing this situation, Qin Jingru couldn't help but understand Xu Damao's intention.

If it had been before, she would have definitely scolded Xu Damao behind his back.

Today, Qin Jingru was a little abnormal. She changed into beautiful clothes and walked out of Xu's house with a canvas bag on her back.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, she spent 2 cents to make a phone call. The news on the phone seemed to be good news. Qin Jingru's eyes almost turned into crescents at that time.

After putting down the phone, Qin Jingru rode her bicycle to Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

Twenty minutes later, she left the vegetable market and rode her bicycle straight to a house in the suburbs of Beijing.

The house is located in the wilderness, surrounded by desolation. It is almost dusk and there is no one to be seen at all.

Despite this, Qin Jingru still rode her bicycle in a circle. After making sure that no one was following her, she took out the key and opened the rusty iron lock.

Qin Jingru entered the courtyard as if she had returned to her own home. She tied up her bicycle, washed the handles, and then got into the kitchen to get busy.

Looking at the way the corners of her mouth slightly curled up while she was cooking with a spatula, one could tell that she was in a very excited mood right now.

The dinner was very sumptuous, including a plate of garlic eggplant, a plate of braised pork, a plate of braised pork ribs, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

Qin Jingru placed the plate on the table. Seeing that it was still early, she picked up the porcelain bowl and placed it on the plate.

Then he went to the sink to wash away the smell of oil smoke, and then sat at the table again and waited.

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening unknowingly, and the sky was completely dark.

Qin Jingru was inevitably a little anxious and stood up from time to time to look outside the small courtyard.

Suddenly, a burly figure on a bicycle rushed out of the dim light.

Qin Jingru felt excited and wanted to rush forward.

But.

She bit her lip, suppressed her emotions, and stood quietly at the door, holding on to the door frame, watching the figure getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

....

The door was open, and Wang Weidong rode his bicycle until he reached the small courtyard and then stopped.

Before the bicycle was strapped in, a warm body pressed against him, and a sound that was almost a whisper penetrated his ears.

"Brother Hong Chang, why did you come back so late? I thought you wouldn't come back today."

Wang Weidong patted her little hand gently, feeling the softness, and said with a smile: "There is a meeting in the factory today. As the director of the factory, I am embarrassed to leave early. What, you missed me?"

"Hmm~" Qin Jingru's face turned red with embarrassment and her eyebrows were crooked. She let go of Wang Weidong's hand and walked into the house: "I've already cooked the food. Do you want to try it?"

Qin Jingru was born as a commune member. Although she had been cooking since she was a child, she only cooked sweet potatoes and stewed Chinese cabbage, which was not considered a cooking skill at all.

She is worried about her cooking skills.

"As long as it's made by you, it will definitely be delicious!"

Wang Weidong chuckled, picked up a piece of spareribs in Qin Jingru's expectant eyes, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.

"Hiss...it tastes really good."

"Really, you didn't lie to me?" Qin Jingru tilted her head and couldn't close her legs with joy.

After getting a satisfactory answer from Wang Weidong, she picked up the chopsticks with satisfaction and started eating in small bites.

Wang Weidong did not deal with Qin Jingru. Although the dishes Qin Jingru cooked were not as good as Sha Zhu and Nan Yi, they were much better than those of ordinary housewives.

Especially the braised pork ribs, which are bright on the outside and look great on the plate. When you taste them, the rich meaty aroma instantly spreads throughout your body, which is enough to compare with the skills of a professional chef.

There is also the garlic eggplant dish, which is rich in garlic aroma, salty and delicious, and tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

A home-cooked dish can be made to this level, which shows that Qin Jingru really puts his heart into it.

When tasting dishes, in addition to tasting the taste, the more important thing is to taste the heart.

How can you eat vegetables without drinking alcohol?

Wang Weidong picked up a few dishes with chopsticks and filled his stomach. Just as he was about to put down his chopsticks, Qin Jingru magically took out a bottle of Maotai wine from under the chair.

He took out a wine cup in his hand, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Wang Weidong with both hands.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Brother Hong Chang, you can only drink three drinks tonight, not a lot."

"Okay, listen to Jingru." Wang Weidong followed the advice and drank the glass in one gulp.

Seeing that Wang Weidong did not refute, Qin Jingru breathed a sigh of relief.

She does not want to restrict Wang Weidong from drinking. Many men in this era are addicted to alcohol. As long as they hold a bottle of wine, the bottle and the person will have to drink one. For example, Xu Damao.

but.

Qin Jingru discovered that once Wang Weidong drinks too much, although he will not get drunk, his performance will be affected.

It's like playing volleyball.

I was able to play the whole game, and sometimes I could play the whole game if I performed exceptionally well, but once I drank, I could only play most of the game.

For her own happiness and joy, Qin Jingru thought she restricted Wang Weidong from drinking.

After meal.

Qin Jingru stood up and put away the dishes, while Wang Weidong took out a cigarette and smoked it comfortably.

Seeing Qin Jingru's busy figure, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked over Qin Jingru's shoulders and fell into the small courtyard.

In the capital, he has three such courtyards, all of which are located in remote places on the outskirts of the capital.

There is no one here on weekdays, but occasionally Qin Jingru, Huang Yanling, Guan Tingting and others come here to live a rural life.

The courtyard is worthless. It only cost Wang Weidong 600 yuan in total. If it takes another 20 years, each courtyard will be worth at least tens of millions.
