At 2 a.m., Jianjun and Tingting put their things in the woods and waited for someone.
"Honey's here, hurry up and go."
"Young man, is everything ready?"
Yes, everything is ready.
“I’ll take the grains and rock sugar first. Wang Hongjun told his family to take the good stuff. The children and elderly in the family need to eat refined grains, which are better for their stomachs.”
"As for the fish and meat, I kept two pigs, 30 rabbits, 20 fish and 30 pheasants for myself to eat and give away. I told the factory that I bought the rest myself."
As the head of the purchasing department, nothing is a problem for me. It's almost Chinese New Year and we have nothing. My boss is urging me to make some purchases. Isn't this my luck?
As for reporting him, I'm not stupid, I won't get any benefit from it, and I'll likely end up losing everything. Last year's group is a prime example.
Whoever this person is, as long as we maintain long-term contact and cooperation, we won't have to worry about our procurement tasks in the future, and our position will be even more secure.
Wang Hongjun's purchasing department isn't entirely under his control; there are others eyeing it covetously. So, this allows him to complete purchasing tasks, smooth things over, and ensure his family gets good food—a win-win-win situation.
"Young man, I'll settle all the money with you. Here are 50 wine vouchers and 8,000 yuan in cash. Count them."
"Thanks to you, the prices on the black market are extremely high and the risks are much greater because of what you did last year. I won't take advantage of you. If you still have anything, come to my house."
"Okay, boss, don't worry, I still have a lot of things to ask you for."
When Tingting saw Jianjun return with the money, the two of them quickly rode away on their motorcycle.
When Wang Hongjun saw the two men riding a motorcycle, he thought to himself, "They're quite something. These days, few people even own a bicycle, let alone a motorcycle. This guy must have connections and be someone important. I shouldn't offend him."
"Honey, you've made so much money! We haven't even calculated the morning's earnings yet. Let's do the math when we get home tonight."
"The reason it can sell for so much money is largely due to the sugar itself. Nowadays, rock sugar isn't something you can just buy if you have money. It's usually supplied to hospitals or unit leaders, and ordinary people can't see it. We have plenty of other good things too."
"Hurry home, it'll be troublesome if they find out you're missing."
“Let’s just say we’re going up the mountain. We’re far from the village, and it’s snowing, so fewer people will notice.”
When the two returned home, they lit the kerosene lamp and counted the items. This was the amount of goods they had sold door-to-door that morning, plus a large order they had made from the leader's house.
"Wow, this is like striking it rich! Tingting, put all this money together, it's a total of..."
“Take out 400 yuan in change to keep for emergencies, and put 30,000 yuan and 5 gold bars into the safe.”
"Honey, we've got 30,000 yuan now, that's quite a lot."
“That’s right. Next time we go to the mountains to hunt, we should go to this place. It’s quick and reliable.”
"Honey, you're really brave. Who would dare to go like that? Fortune favors the bold."
They put the child on the kang (a heated brick bed), and apart from breastfeeding the child, neither of them ate anything else all day before going out to sell things.
Now they start eating under the lights, and both of them are happy. The baby has stopped breastfeeding, and the two of them are drinking some beer and eating hot pot, feeling free and comfortable.
"Honey, let's go find the team leader tomorrow and get a letter of introduction. Haven't you always wanted to go to the city's scrap yard to look for things?"
"Sure, I've wanted to go for a long time. That's what they always say in novels. I want to see for myself."
“This time we can go to the city openly and honestly. Otherwise, we always have to sneak out in the middle of the night and drive away when no one is looking.”
“That’s right,” Tingting pouted. “We need to sell some more things before the New Year. We should at least reach 100,000 yuan before the campaign.”
"We can get there, but we'll have to go to the city twice a year."
"To enjoy a better life sooner, let's give it our all!" Jianjun shouted.
"Go for it, honey."
