Chapter 117 Xu Damao suffered a setback in his big business.
"Dongsheng, I heard from Zhao Gang that your procurement tasks are always completed on time and within the target. Do you have any tricks?"
In the evening, after Xu Damao had eaten and drunk his fill at Xu Dongsheng's house, Xu Damao liked to toast others. As a result, he began to feel dizzy after three cups. Then Xu Dongsheng carried Xu Damao to the backyard.
After arriving at the backyard, Xu Dongsheng threw Xu Damao on the bed and prepared to leave. At this time, Xu Damao sat up and asked Xu Dongsheng.
"To be a buyer these days, don't you have to have some tricks? My trick is to make friends with everyone. We are all friends, and when friends are in trouble, don't we support each other? So when everyone knows that I'm in trouble, they will naturally help me?"
Xu Dongsheng smiled and said to Xu Damao. Xu Dongsheng immediately guessed that Xu Damao might be in the countryside with Zhao Gang, and their plan was not implemented so well, so he asked himself this question. Moreover, Xu Damao directly proposed that he was cooperating with Zhao Gang.
"That's true, but it's not easy to make friends in the countryside. And even if you make friends, they can't help you. I've visited many villages recently. I think these villages have potential and are good harvests, but guess what the result is?"
When Xu Damao heard Xu Dongsheng's words, his drunken eyes immediately sobered up, but after a while, he became dazed again, because he understood Xu Dongsheng's operation method. If he followed Xu Dongsheng's operation method, it would definitely not work.
"What else can I do? I know how difficult it is in the countryside right now. After paying the public grain tax, basically every family has little surplus food, and not many people dare to store private grain. So, you probably suffered a setback with Zhao Gang in the countryside, right?"
When Xu Dongsheng heard this, he immediately understood that Xu Damao had failed to accomplish anything in the countryside.
"Dongsheng, you are the one who sees things clearly. What's going on? Today, Zhao Gang was detained by the Ganshang Village Production Team and almost couldn't come back. We had discussed it with the team leader and the party secretary at the beginning and took the food away secretly.
But we were arrested just after we came out of the village, and all our belongings were taken away. They said we were robbers and stole their food, and they almost shot us. We had to beg for mercy before we could return home safe and sound.
Zhao Gang was beaten so badly that his face was swollen and black. I guess he didn't dare to report for duty this week. He still had several weeks' worth of tasks to complete.
The captain caught up with me and gave me the chicken. Otherwise, I would have lost the chicken. This time, I have lost both the wife and the army."
Xu Damao and Xu Dongsheng talked about how miserable his life was when he went to the countryside to do business. Not only did he not get any harvest, but he almost died there.
"I don't know about that. I made friends with the captain and other people like him, but I got all the things that they voluntarily bought for me. They were all private goods, so the things I got were all weird.
Besides, I made friends with the captains and the others, but I didn't need them to give me anything. I just needed them to inform the team that someone was coming to purchase, and then we would all be friends even if the deal didn't go through.
I guess you were eyeing everyone's stuff in the team, so you were arrested. After all, the food in the canteen of the team belonged to the team's means of production. You and Zhao Gang bought it for others, and the people in the team would definitely not agree, after all, it was everyone's stuff.
But who gets the money from the sale? It's still the captain and his team. The common people below don't have much money to share, so the final result is just like this."
Xu Dongsheng did not comment on Xu Damao's statement. Not everyone is the protagonist. Xu Dongsheng is fundamentally different from them. Xu Dongsheng makes friends not because he covets their food. He has no shortage of food, he just lacks a reason. Anyway, Xu Dongsheng has been to many villages, and unless they go to each village to ask, they will have to find evidence of Xu Dongsheng's guilt.
But generally speaking, Xu Dongsheng would not push himself to such a desperate situation. Therefore, even if someone investigated, they would only investigate a few villages. Knowing that Xu Dongsheng's things were collected from one village to another, a few pounds at a time, and that they were obtained through hard labor, they would not conduct a thorough investigation.
"Alas, it was because the harvest was bad this year, and they reported too much, which resulted in them paying more public grain, and then they didn't have much left for themselves."
After hearing this, Xu Damao seemed to have accepted Xu Dongsheng's explanation in his heart, and then he began to be confused. Xu Dongsheng didn't know whether this guy remembered it or not, but he didn't care, anyway, the person had been sent to the place.
Xu Dongsheng left Xu Damao's house and prepared to go back.
"Dongsheng, come in and sit down?"
Xu Dongsheng had just helped Xu Damao close the door when an invitation came from Liu Haizhong's house. Xu Dongsheng took a look and found that it was Liu Haizhong. Why did this old guy invite Xu Dongsheng to come in and sit down?
"No, Uncle, it's getting late. I have to go back and rest. I guess I have to go shopping tomorrow. I haven't found the task for this week yet."
No matter what Liu Haizhong wanted to do, Xu Dongsheng didn't care. He said hello to him and went to his home. He passed by Yi Zhonghai's house, which was now empty. Jia Dongxu hadn't come back yet. He stayed with Yi Zhonghai in the hospital, trying to make his image as perfect as possible.
"Mom, why hasn't Dad come yet?"
Banggeng sat on the doorstep, looking into the yard. It was already evening, and Jia Dongxu hadn't come back yet. Banggeng missed him a little.
"Your father is in the hospital with your Grandpa Yi. He will probably be back soon. Don't sit at the door. Be careful that your father will come back and beat you up."
Qin Huairu didn't think much about it, but seeing Banggeng sitting on the doorstep, which was not allowed, she immediately told him to go back to the kang and not sit there. Banggeng was obedient and ran directly towards Qin Huairu who was holding Xiaodang.
"Grandma, don't worry, Uncle will be fine. He probably just pressed his leg while sleeping. If he was in trouble, Auntie would have come back to get the money."
Xu Dongsheng was about to leave the central courtyard when he heard a voice coming from Sha Zhu's house. It turned out to be the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu. Yi Zhonghai and his wife were not at home today, and the deaf old lady did not cook for herself, so she came to Sha Zhu's house to eat. After the meal, the deaf old lady did not go back. Sha Zhu saw that the deaf old lady was worried about Yi Zhonghai, so he began to comfort her.
"Oh, what's this?"
The deaf old lady felt very disappointed. She just confirmed her retirement relationship with Yi Zhonghai, but she didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would not be able to stand up. Yi Zhonghai entered the steel rolling mill at the age of 19 and has just worked there for 30 years. He is not yet 60 years old, not of retirement age, and not disabled due to work injury. If Yi Zhonghai really couldn't stand up all of a sudden, if Yi Zhonghai wanted to get a slightly higher pension, he would have to rely on her and Yi Zhonghai's old face to beg for mercy.
So the deaf old lady prayed a thousand times, hoping that Yi Zhonghai would not really become paralyzed, otherwise, her retirement life might be ruined, because if Yi Zhonghai became paralyzed, wouldn't she have to take care of the paralyzed one? How could she still have the energy to take care of her?
The deaf old lady became more and more panicked the more she thought about it, but she didn't dare to go to the hospital to hear the first news. She could only wait at home. There was no other way.
It was normal for the deaf old lady to eat at Sha Zhu's house, and Xu Dongsheng didn't care. After all, the deaf old lady just came to their house for a meal. After being controlled by him, he believed that the deaf old lady would not dare to provoke him again.
Without thinking too much, Xu Dongsheng returned home and did not even wait to receive the blessing from heaven today. Perhaps because he had drunk too much, he fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
