Chapter 77: Keep it fair
"Does the new educated youth know where they came from?"
Su Hong looked at Zhao Laowu and asked.
A few days ago, Li Dequan asked all the strong laborers in the village to go to the playground to help build dormitories.
As for the forest farm, Zhao Laowu wanted to go but failed. Now that he has Su Hong's errand fees and she delivers meat to Zhao Yi from time to time, Zhao Laowu doesn't want to go even if he is asked to do so.
"I know a little bit. The educated youth from other regions said that they had good grades and could help the children in the brigade learn more knowledge, so they were made substitute teachers. If you want your children to have a bright future, you have to send them to school.
Didn't you go to the team leader's meeting that day? By the way, I heard that there is a substitute teacher position for you, why don't you want to teach? ”
Zhao Laowu nodded and said.
Li Dequan said that the two men were local intellectuals and their accents were similar to his, so the children could understand them during class.
Even though Mandarin is now popularized, many teachers still have local accents when they lecture. For example, Su Hong has a northern accent, and Zhao Laowu cannot understand some words.
"oh."
Su Hong nodded.
After thinking about it, I felt that these two people were not simple. They lived in a single room when they just arrived at the team and did not need to go to the educated youth compound. They must have contacted Li Dequan a long time ago and should not go to the cowshed during the day.
Don't let these two newly arrived educated youths trip you up. As for bribing them with gifts, don't even think about it. When you go to the countryside, you wear Dacron, a woolen coat and small leather shoes. When you go to the educated youth compound, the candies and biscuits distributed to everyone are not cheap.
It's clear that the house is not simple.
Li Dequan's daughter and daughter-in-law were not seen at work today. The villagers said that they went to the district to work as temporary workers. Combining all these signs, Su Hong felt that their backgrounds were not ordinary families.
early morning.
Regional department store.
Zhao Yi came to the sales hall on the first floor.
I met Director Li as soon as I entered the door.
"Xiao Zhao."
"Sister Li."
Zhao Yi responded.
Ever since she helped Director Li run errands, Director Li insisted that Zhao Yi call her sister. Zhao Yi had no choice but to follow Director Li's arrangements.
"What's the matter with you laughing so happily? Just say it out loud and everyone will be happy too."
Director Li asked, looking at Zhao Yi's smiling face.
"My dad sent me a lot of smoked pork yesterday. I couldn't finish it all by myself, so I wanted to share some with my co-workers in need."
Everyone was listening to the conversation between the two attentively, and when they heard the word "meat", they immediately dropped their work and ran to Zhao Yi.
"Master Zhao, you can come to me for this matter. I haven't tasted meat for a long time. Just give me as much as you have."
Several sales clerks immediately surrounded Director Zhao Yi and Li.
"My grandmother's place is a hunter village. They often hunt wild boars and other things. When there are a lot, they will send them to my parents. If they can't finish them, they will send them to me. This time they sent more than 60 kilograms, and I can't eat that much."
Zhao Yi doesn't even blush when he tells lies now.
"Give me five pounds."
Director Li looked at Zhao Yi and smiled.
"Sister, I've prepared everything for you. I'll send it home after get off work."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, kid, you guys take your time to discuss it. I'm going to go to work first. By the way, send a copy to Director Tu as well."
Director Li turned around and looked at Zhao Yi halfway and said.
Although Director Tu is only the director of the general office, he is a man with great power. If Zhao Yi encounters any trouble in the future, he can help solve it.
Of course, you have to move around more frequently in your daily life.
Although the other person owed Zhao Yi a favor for helping him run errands this time, favors are gone once they are used. As long as this relationship exists, if they interact more often in the future, the relationship will develop.
"I understand, Sister Li."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Master Zhao, I have a large family, please give me ten kilograms."
"My family also gave me ten kilograms."
In a short while, all the 60 kilograms of meat had been distributed, and by the time the Finance Department, Labor and Personnel Department, and comrades on the second and third floors received the news, everything had already been distributed.
"Comrade Zhao, you have to treat everyone equally. The salesperson on the first floor is your co-worker, but we are not your co-workers?"
"That's right, Comrade Zhao, I voted for you as this month's model worker. You have to go back to the village and help distribute some to us."
"That's right. We voted for you, Comrade Zhao. This month's model worker will be announced soon. You have to treat everyone equally. We are all your co-workers."
Soon, everyone from the security department arrived.
It's unheard of that one person got ten kilograms of smoked meat.
Zhao Yi's repair shop was surrounded by a group of workers, as if they were not going to let him work unless Zhao Yi agreed.
"Got it, got it. I, Zhao Yi, have received everyone's enthusiasm. I will go back tomorrow and try to ask a few more families at my grandmother's house so that I can get at least five pounds of meat for each of you, okay?
Everyone, please go to work quickly. I will have to share the work with the comrades from the Transportation Department when they come over later. ”
Zhao Yi pretended to be very embarrassed and said.
"Then we will wait for your good news, Comrade Zhao."
When everyone heard Zhao Yi agree, they happily went back to their workstations.
It is rare to have a good meal of meat throughout the year, even chicken is rare.
Although it would cost 79 cents to share with Zhao Yi, no one would share with you if you have money in your pocket. On the black market, you have to pay one dollar to buy one pound.
Without a ticket, the pork stall makes you stand and watch, and they won’t even let you touch the towels used to clean the stall, for fear that you’ll get a lot of lard on your hands and use it to make soup at home.
After get off work at noon, Zhao Yi had to take a leave of absence. He bought a new flashlight and walked towards the mountains. Now he had to wait until the evening to take a bus, which would take him a short time less than walking back.
Zhao Yi went back to Wangou Village to tell Zhao Laowu and then rushed back. He should be able to return in the early morning.
Although it is a bit hard, at least I can earn dozens of yuan for each trip, which is more than my monthly salary.
After delivering the meat to Director Li’s home at noon, Zhao Yi set off for Wangou Village.
Zhao Yi returned to Wangou Village before dark and went straight to Zhao Laowu's house.
"Who is it?"
Zhao Laowu asked when he heard someone knocking on the gate.
"I'm Zhao Yi."
Zhao Yi responded.
Hearing that it was Zhao Yi, Zhao Laowu quickly walked to the door and opened it.
"You have to make a hard trip to Qixingao tonight and deliver the meat to my house tomorrow. Try to get there before noon. This time, you need at least 120 kilograms of meat. Be careful on the way. Or, ask the captain to write you a letter of introduction saying that you are going to visit me in the region and help deliver some things."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, Zhao Laowu nodded.
"Okay, I have to hurry back."
Zhao Yi turned around and quietly left Wangou Village.
Zhao Laowu was ecstatic. He had earned six dollars and fifty cents last time, and this time he would make at least twelve dollars. Not to mention just staying up all night, even if he stayed up for five days, Zhao Laowu would think it was worth it.
