Before leaving, Xu Xiangyang told Shen Fangjun again that if there were any Daqianmen cigarettes, please leave five packs a month.
Although this doesn't require a ticket now, who knows if it will be needed in the future.
Shen Fangjun agreed, since they would have plenty left over every month anyway, and selling more would make things easier for them.
Just as Xu Xiangyang stepped out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he ran into two familiar people.
The person in front of him was also stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression in their eyes.
A few days ago, Liu Quanshan went home and heard about Xu Xiangyang's deeds, such as how he has now become a driver and bought a house in the city!
He has been working in the city for two years and has not saved anything, let alone bought a house.
I used to look down on them, but I got proven wrong as soon as I got home.
"Hey, Brother Shan, you've brought Comrade Wei out for some fun?" Xu Xiangyang greeted him and nodded to Wei Zhangxi.
Wei Zhangxi responded with a smile, without saying anything more.
Liu Quanshan forced a smile and nodded. "Yeah, how's Xiangyang doing lately? I heard you're doing pretty well."
His tone was a bit sour, but who wouldn't feel sour? He'd been out there for two years longer than others, and yet he was nothing.
Xu Xiangyang ignored his sarcastic remarks and laughed, saying, "What do you mean 'doing well'? I just had my cast removed from my arm; I'm just lucky to be alive."
He didn't hide it; the whole brigade would definitely know about it.
Liu Quanshan did know, and he thought he was very lucky to be alive. Most people would have run far away in this situation, let alone risk their lives. How stupid!
Fools are sometimes lucky...
"Don't say that, it's just luck," he replied sourly.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, "Then you guys go ahead and look around, I'll head back first."
Say it however you want, but these grown men are acting all sour and inappropriate.
Wei Zhangxi, who was standing to the side, sensed something was wrong and frowned as he watched Xu Xiangyang leave.
She turned to Liu Quanshan and said, "Comrade Liu, do you have a grudge against Comrade Xu?"
It wasn't that he asked that on purpose; Wei Zhangxi is just a straightforward person, so of course he'd ask if he didn't like something.
Liu Quanshan scoffed at these words. He used to be a prominent figure in the brigade, while Xu Xiangyang was nothing but a lazy father and mother with no ambition whatsoever.
So what if I went to high school? I'll still just stay home and loiter in the streets.
Now look how great it is! He's become the most sought-after driver and even owns a house.
If the house was in the commune, that would be one thing, but he actually bought a house in the city. Do you think he wouldn't be jealous?
"No, he's not very successful. He used to be a troublemaker in the brigade, but now that he's in the city, he's a different person."
He said it casually, without realizing that his tone was sarcastic.
Wei Zhangxi frowned and said, "Comrade Liu, your attitude is not right. No matter what Comrade Xu was like before, he is now a class worker. You can't talk to him like that."
She has now joined the Red Armband movement and is most opposed to these bad practices.
Seeing how serious she was, Liu Quanshan quickly waved his hand, "Oh, I was just saying, why are you taking it so seriously?"
He was afraid of Wei Zhangxi. He only liked him because of his good family background. Otherwise, why would he have been interested in him?
It's one thing if he's not good-looking, but he's also big and burly. If I take him home, won't the villagers laugh at me?
Liu Quanshan didn't want to take her back; it was too embarrassing.
Wei Zhangxi wasn't stupid; seeing his blatant disdain, he was furious.
She took a deep breath and said, "Your attitude is really problematic. I think I need to re-evaluate our relationship."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Liu Quanshan stood there, stunned. What had happened to him? How had he offended someone?
"You're re-evaluating? I'm going to re-evaluate too!" He rolled his eyes, feeling even more disgusted with Wei Zhangxi.
It seems this person is no longer suitable, but the other women in the factory don't even want to be with me.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Liu Quanshan knew in his heart that those single women didn't like him because they thought he was too short...
In fact, he is not only short, but also ugly. He is only in his twenties and already bald. Who could like him?
Leaving those two aside, Xu Xiangyang returned home, tidied up a bit, and then entered his spatial dimension.
He looked at the unchanged space and then prepared to open the box.
Although I don't plan to do business recently, I still have to open the boxes, not for any other reason than to find a surprise every time I open one.
He opened one of the boxes randomly, and inside were some random boxes.
I opened them one by one, and they were all full of watches!
Oh my god!
The boxes are different, and the watches inside are also different.
However, there were no electronic watches, only stylish mechanical watches, some with leather straps and some with steel straps.
This stuff is good, but the purchasing power here isn't great, so it won't sell for much.
He put it inside, then glanced at his watch, which he had found in other boxes before, though there weren't many of them.
After marking these items, Xu Xiangyang went to the other boxes.
I opened one at random, and it was full of canned fruit, all kinds, without any labels.
They're probably meant to be repackaged by other manufacturers, which saves them some trouble.
Xu Xiangyang took a big apple, then turned and went to his dormitory.
Although there are many items in the space, things are in a tight spot lately, and not many can be sold.
Moreover, the black market here can't absorb much of it. If you want to make big money, you'll have to think of other ways.
These past few days he's been thinking about whether he should make a trip to Hong Kong. It's developing very rapidly there, and you don't need coupons to buy or sell things.
If you want to get rid of something, that's undoubtedly the best choice.
pity……
He had no way to get out, and besides, if he did get out now, it would be difficult to come back.
Xu Xiangyang stopped thinking about it. He wasn't short of money now, so there was no need to take any risks.
The next day, the company organized a training session, and Xu Xiangyang, as an outstanding young person, was naturally on the list.
He looked at Liu Feng, guessing that Director Liu had sent him.
This training session involved visiting other factories to learn about the latest instructions. Everyone else wore a large badge with the leader's portrait on it.
Xu Xiangyang was also lucky enough to receive one, which he pinned to his clothes.
"You'll be led by Mr. Zhong from the union today, so make sure you study hard," Director Liu told them, and then let Mr. Zhong lead the group away.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the people in front of him; there were about ten people in this group.
Apart from Liu Feng, he didn't know anyone, so no one greeted him.
Liu Feng was talking to Officer Zhong in front of him; the two seemed to know each other well.
Officer Zhong was a man in his thirties, of average appearance, and wore black-rimmed glasses.
"Alright, everyone, follow me." He called out, gesturing for everyone to get into the car.
Today, the company specially arranged a vehicle for them. It was an old shuttle bus that was usually used when there were many people traveling.
