After breakfast, Chenchen and Anan swung on the swings in the yard.
Han Zhenyu took out a handful of money from his pocket.
"I brought some food from the farm this time. I kept 50 kilograms of fine grain and sold the rest. I earned more than 100 yuan. I left 30 yuan and a few tickets for Chenchen's parents. The rest is here. You can keep it."
Su Xieqiu was surprised and said, "So much, it's three or four months' salary for you."
She knows that drivers are in high demand nowadays, but doesn’t she know how to make money this way?
I earned more than 100 yuan in just a few days and brought back dozens of kilograms of fine grains. It feels a little incredible.
No wonder people say that today’s drivers wouldn’t even trade for a cadre.
She used to think it was exaggerated, but now she feels that she was just being superficial.
But when I thought about the more than 3,000 yuan that Han Zhenyu gave me some time ago, it seemed normal.
"There was favor involved this time." Han Zhenyu explained to her in a low voice, "The farm only gave me 300 to 400 kilograms of low-priced grain, and Director Chen helped me get the rest. Judging from his attitude, he probably wants to befriend me."
"So that's how it is." Su Xieqiu suddenly realized that by pulling in more than 300 kilograms of low-priced grain, he could earn thirty or forty yuan, which was not a small amount.
If there are more, I'm afraid those who are jealous will feel even more unbalanced.
Su Xieqiu held the handful of money and suddenly remembered something.
She had read that in a book in her previous life. It seemed that around the 1970s, the authorities suddenly launched a strict crackdown on long-distance drivers who resold goods.
She didn't look at it carefully at the time, just glanced at it casually.
It seemed that a lot of people got into trouble that time, some lost their jobs, and some went to jail.
Some of the most serious cases were even shot.
Thinking of this, Su Xieqiu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Han Zhenyu saw her expression suddenly change, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Xieqiu hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Han Zhenyu, don't do this anymore. Your salary is enough for us. There's no need to take this risk."
Han Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something had happened, but it turned out that his wife was worried about him.
He smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry. I'm very careful and I've gone through the formal procedures every time I bring something with me."
"No, you can't do it anymore." Su Xieqiu was very determined and said he would not let him do private work no matter what.
Fearing that he would continue to do it behind her back, she added: "Even if you have the documents, you are on a business trip and you are carrying so many irrelevant things. Once others check, it will be exposed."
Han Zhenyu looked at her in confusion, feeling a little strange. She was fine just now, how could she change so quickly?
He thought for a moment and said, "For long-distance trips, two people drive one car. Everyone else takes it. I can't ask for special treatment, right? Then the other person will have a problem with me."
Su Xieqiu frowned and suddenly thought of the child she saved.
They live in the county party committee's staff housing compound. Seeing how spacious their house is, they must be officials.
Su Xieqiu changed his mind and decided to use that family as a shield.
She first told Han Zhenyu about the rescue, and then said mysteriously:
"A few days ago, the Chang family came to my house to thank me. They knew you were a driver at the machinery factory. When Sister Chang left, she mentioned, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that the higher-ups were preparing to conduct a strict investigation of drivers. She didn't say what they were investigating specifically, but I think it must be related to dumping goods."
Han Zhenyu was startled when he heard this. "Did she say when it started?"
Su Xieqiu shook his head. "She didn't say anything. She only mentioned it vaguely. It should be inconvenient to disclose."
Seeing that Han Zhenyu didn't know what he was thinking, she advised him earnestly: "Our life is not bad now, and we have saved some money.
You have a fixed salary and various tickets every month, and if I earn some work points, it will be enough for us to eat. If something happens to you, my two children will definitely be bullied to death in the village. "
She was afraid that Han Zhenyu could not resist the temptation of money, so she deliberately made the consequences sound serious.
Han Zhenyu listened to her and said solemnly: "Wife, I understand. I won't let anything happen to me."
He looked at Su Xieqiu tenderly, "You don't have to go to work. Even if you don't bring goods, I can still support you."
Su Xieqiu smiled and nodded. Seeing that he had listened, she felt relieved.
I thought to myself, I can’t finish all the food in my space, so why do I need to feed you? It’s more than enough to feed all of you.
She asked, "How many days will you rest this time?"
"Two days."
Han Zhenyu thought for a moment and said, "Wife, I want to go to the factory. This afternoon, a brother who is close to me is going to the provincial capital to deliver machinery. I want to tell him about it. Do you think it's okay?"
Su Xieqiu said nonchalantly, "That's fine, but we don't know when the higher-ups will investigate. If you tell them, what if they change their minds and decide not to investigate? Wouldn't that delay people from making money? Wouldn't they be blamed?"
"I know that. I just mentioned it tactfully. It's up to them whether to take it or not. I don't care about the rest." Han Zhenyu said with a smile.
"Then go ahead and bring back some salt. I'm going to learn how to make soybean paste from Sister Fengqin, and I'll need a lot of salt."
Su Xieqiu gave him twenty yuan and said, "Take this as pocket money. If it's not enough, ask me for more."
Han Zhenyu took it with a smile, "Thank you, wife."
Su Xieqiu glared at him, thinking, "I have a name, why are you calling me wife?" It's embarrassing and annoying.
Han Zhenyu was very happy when he saw her face blushing, but he didn't dare show it on his face, for fear that his wife would get angry and punish him.
He stood up and said seriously, "Wife, when I go, is there anything else you want to buy? Do you want me to bring some snacks or something?"
