Old Dao's eyes lit up. He took the letter of introduction and examined it carefully: "Wow, this is a rare find!"
He rubbed his fingers together: "Young man, how much are you planning to sell it for?"
Du Jianshan held up two fingers: "Two thousand, no bargaining."
The men around gasped in shock.
Old Dao Ba Zi squinted: "Young man, this price is not low."
Du Jianshan sneered: "Brother Dao, you know better than I how sought-after a permanent position is these days."
"Going to the countryside is tough, who wouldn't want to stay in the city? Two thousand yuan, plenty of people would fight over it."
Old Dao stared at Du Jianshan for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Alright! Young brother, you're a man of principle!"
He turned and went inside, and a moment later came out with a cloth bag: "Dian Dian, two thousand exactly."
Du Jianshan took the money, counted it carefully, and put it into his pocket after confirming that it was correct.
Old Dao Ba Zi asked with a smile, "Young man, is there anything else you need? Grain coupons, meat coupons, industrial coupons, we have them all here."
Du Jianshan thought for a moment: "One hundred catties of grain coupons, twenty catties of meat coupons, and some industrial coupons. Also, pack me fifty catties of white rice, fifty catties of refined flour, twenty catties of rapeseed oil, and thirty catties of pork."
Old Knife Master waved his hand and said, "Prepare this for this brother!"
Before long, Du Jianshan had another stack of tickets and a large pile of grain in his hands.
He didn't leave immediately, and asked again, "Master Dao, do you have any watches, radios, or anything like that here?"
Old Dao raised an eyebrow: "Oh, young man, are you buying some household items?"
Du Jianshan smiled and said, "Prepare some things before going to the countryside."
When going to the countryside, you naturally need to be fully prepared; you need to bring a little bit of everything.
These days, entertainment options are scarce, so listening to music when you're bored is truly relaxing.
Old Dao nodded, then turned and took out a few items from the inner room: "Shanghai brand watch, 80% new, 120 yuan. Red Lantern brand radio, 280 yuan. Hero fountain pen, 15 yuan."
Without saying a word, Du Jianshan took out his money and bought it.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Do you have any seeds? Vegetables or grains are fine."
Old Dao chuckled: "Young man, are you going to be a farmer?"
He pulled out several small cloth bags from the corner: "Cabbage, radish, corn, wheat, all good seeds."
Du Jianshan bought everything, along with some cigarettes, alcohol, and candy. In the end, he even bought several lengths of cloth and a thick cotton-padded coat.
Old Dao Ba Zi clicked his tongue in amazement: "Young man, you've bought quite a lot. How are you going to take it all?"
Du Jianshan smiled and said, "I have a way."
After paying, he left the black market carrying his bags.
Once they reached a secluded spot, a thought struck them, and they stored everything in their hands into their spatial storage.
Patting his empty pockets, Du Jianshan grinned: "That's settled!"
With grain, money, supplies, and a golden touch, how about going to the countryside?
That's for enjoying life!
Seeing that it was getting late, Du Qingshan headed home.
I have to spend the night at home, and then I'll head to the countryside first thing tomorrow morning.
As soon as Du Jianshan turned into the alleyway of the family compound, he saw Liu Xiuqin pacing back and forth at the entrance.
The woman's eyes lit up the moment she saw him, and she jogged over to greet him: "Jianshan! You're finally back!"
Du Jianshan looked at her fake smile and knew exactly what was going on.
A weasel pays New Year's greetings to a chicken.
To be honest, his feelings for Liu Xiuqin were complicated.
Everything she did seemed forced; she wanted to sacrifice her own son to gain a foothold in the family.
But if you say she doesn't feel guilty, she often looks at him with an expression of pity.
For example, right now.
Du Jianshan sneered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged: "What? Waiting to see me off?"
Liu Xiuqin's face stiffened, but she forced a smile and said, "Look at you, child, what are you saying! Mom has stewed some meat for you, come inside and eat!"
Du Jianshan raised an eyebrow. "Oh ho, has the sun risen in the west?"
He followed them into the house and, sure enough, saw Li Guodong and his son sitting at the dining table.
Li Guodong's face was covered in bruises, and his lip was cut; he had clearly just been beaten.
When he saw Du Jianshan return, a flash of coldness crossed the old dog's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Jianshan's back?" Li Guodong actually managed a smile, got up and pulled out a chair for him: "Come, come, sit down and eat!"
Du Jianshan almost burst out laughing.
That old dog was going to kill him this morning, what's he doing acting all high and mighty now?
Judging from this, he's trying to get himself drunk so he can take the blame, right?
