Chapter 127 Compensation of 350 Yuan
Lu Changzheng rode to the county town, borrowed a car from the Armed Forces Department, and drove to the city.
The leader had a confidant who had been transferred to Shuangshan City before. He had written a letter and told Lu Boying to go to that person directly if he had any problems.
That person was now the second-in-command of Shuangshan City. Lu Changzheng reported Lu Boying's name and was soon invited into the office by the secretary.
"What do you want, Mr. Lu?" the man asked solemnly.
This was the first time Lu Boying had come to him in so many years. He admired such a person very much.
If it were someone else, they would have saved the leader's life and would have used it to climb up. But Mr. Lu had never troubled the leader in anything in so many years.
Lu Changzheng handed the man Lu Boming's handwritten letter. There was nothing in the letter, just saying that he wanted to talk to the leader about something.
After reading it, the man immediately started to make a phone call. After a series of transfers, he finally contacted the leader's secretary and told him the situation.
The secretary had also been with the leader for many years. He was the one who handled the packages sent to Lu Boming during the New Year. He immediately went to ask the leader for instructions and got a reply soon.
The man hung up the phone and said to Lu Changzheng: "The leader said that he will be in the office waiting for the old gentleman's call all day tomorrow." After that, he wrote down the phone number to Lu Changzheng.
In recent years, the leader's work has been transferred from time to time. If you are not a confidant, you really can't contact him.
Lu Changzheng took the phone, thanked him, and went back. When passing by the commune, he went to find Geng Changqing again and informed each other of the progress of the matter.
This matter should not be delayed. No one knows whether another person will go into the mountain and find stones containing gold.
Geng Changqing called the old leader in the morning. The leader that Lu Changzheng was looking for also had a good relationship with the old leader. He just had to wait for Lu Changzheng to say hello so that he could go and discuss it with others. The old
leader also asked them to take the things to Beijing as soon as possible. If they want to talk, they must have evidence.
"I will take my grandfather to make a call tomorrow morning. There is no big problem. We can leave the day after tomorrow." Lu Changzheng said.
Geng Changqing nodded, "I will arrange all the work today and tomorrow, and I can leave the day after tomorrow."

Haishi.
At noon, the director of the street office came to the door in person and said that the furniture could not be found. They asked whether to buy back the furniture for them or compensate them and let them buy new furniture themselves.
The mother and son naturally chose the money option.
"The leader said that we will compensate you at the best price on the market." The director of the street office smiled awkwardly.
"The leaders said that you will be compensated for the living room furniture at the price of two pairs of sofas. As for the wardrobes, desks and beds, you will be compensated at the best prices available."
"I went to the furniture market and asked about the prices. The best artificial leather sofas are sold at 89 yuan a pair. The wardrobes are sold at 64.85 yuan, the desks are sold at 34.20 yuan, and the large wooden beds are sold at 54.3 yuan." "
The leaders said that you will be compensated 350 yuan. What do you think?"
Fu Manhua curled her lips. She didn't know if 350 yuan was enough to buy a pair of huanghuali wood stool legs.
With such a small amount of money, they wanted to buy all the furniture that was moved away.
Did they come here to annoy them on purpose?
But the situation is stronger than people, and their main goal is to get the house back. For the rest, they can only tolerate it for the time being.
Don't make the other party angry for such a small thing, otherwise it will be a loss.
Now, she feels that it is a bit too smooth. She originally thought that there would be a tough battle to fight.
"You should also understand that this little money is far from enough to compensate for those things. The things were moved away by others, but it is the country that has to pay compensation. Our Su family has always loved the party and the country and does not want to embarrass the country. We will accept this money and let this matter go for the time being." Fu Manhua said.
The director of the street office was neither sure to say yes nor no, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "We are also doing things according to the orders from above."
"I know your difficulties, the furniture matter is over." Fu Manhua said, "What about the overseas Chinese remittances?"
"The higher-ups are still investigating, and they will give a reply soon."
The overseas Chinese remittances were really not ordered by those people. It was only 500 yuan of overseas Chinese remittances, and they didn't care about it.
It was the people below who were greedy and secretly claimed it.
At that time, banks were also very chaotic, unlike later times, when you had to go to the bank in person to handle anything. The people below took the overseas Chinese remittance notice and the note with the seal of the relevant department, so it was easy for them to claim the money.
Fu Manhua took the compensation money, signed it, and sent the director of the street office away.
Then he went to the post office and called Su Tingde to tell him about the matter.
Su Tingde also told him about the Yang family. He couldn't talk about the gold mine on the phone, so he hinted that something good was going to happen and asked them to stay in Haishi for two more days and not to leave in a hurry.
Knowing that it was Yang Shien who reported Su Tingqian, the mother and son took action.
First, they visited some acquaintances before, and then used some favors to arrange everything.

Lu Changzheng returned to the brigade and first told Lu Boying about the situation.
After arriving home, he told Su Mo about the situation.
"Wife, do you want to go to Jingshi?" Lu Changzheng asked.
"Can I go?" Su Mo's eyes lit up.
It's snowy here now, and there's nothing to do. If possible, it's nice to go to Beijing for a stroll.
Beijing has become very urbanized in later times, and many things with a sense of history are gone.
"Of course you can, you are one of the discoverers. But it may not be possible to meet the leaders. But there's nothing wrong with going there for a stroll." Lu Changzheng smiled dotingly.
My wife came from a big city, and I'm afraid she's bored after staying in the countryside for so long. It's still snowing now, so I have to stay at home every day.
"Then I'll go with you." Su Mo was very happy, and suddenly thought of Fu Manhua and the others coming, and said, "Then we have to tell my uncle to let my aunt and the others come later, or we can go directly to Beijing."
"Okay, I'll tell Secretary Geng tomorrow."
The next day, Lu Changzheng borrowed the brigade's ox cart and took Lu Bowing to the commune post office to make a phone call.
Some brigade members were surprised to see Lu Bowing go out again.
It seems that good people are still blessed by God.
After the call was connected, Lu Boying explained the matter, and the leader naturally agreed.
For him, this kind of thing did not take any effort at all, and it was all good things that benefited the country and the people.
Merit should be rewarded, and he just gave the credit to the right person.
But it was a bit unpleasant to report it bypassing the chain of command, so when Lu Changzheng came to Beijing, he also asked the second-in-command to come with him, so that it would be more legitimate.
It was also considered to have informed the local leaders, and the leaders also approved the report.
On the third day, the three of them took their things to Shuangshan City, met with the second-in-command, and boarded the train to Beijing together.
