Chapter 145 Xu Damao is a time traveler? Call me brother!
Things in the courtyard came to an end, Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang also went home, and soon, Xu Damao came. Xu Damao came to the door of Xu Dongsheng's house with a piece of bacon, and Heiyun and Taxue started barking wildly. Xu Dongsheng called out, and they quieted down.
"Dongsheng, how did you teach these two dogs? They are so well behaved."
Seeing the two well-behaved dogs, Xu Damao really liked them and handed the bacon to Xu Dongsheng. Xu Dongsheng smiled and said nothing. He took the bacon and put it in the kitchen. Then he came out and went to the backyard with Xu Damao. Xu Damao came directly with the bacon. Obviously, he had something to ask for.
"Brother Damao, what do you think? Doing errands for an old man?"
When they arrived at Xu Damao's house, Xu Damao immediately took out good wine and delicious food to entertain Xu Dongsheng. After Xu Dongsheng sat down, he did not directly ask Xu Damao what he wanted, but started by asking Xu Damao why he was a lackey for Liu Haizhong.
"Hey, I thought you weren't going to ask. Are you going to talk about being a lackey for Liu Haizhong? Hey, you know what. Liu Haizhong is addicted to being an official now. Today I got fifty yuan from him. How can I not be willing to do something that can make money?
This old guy still thinks he can be the king in the courtyard. Just wait, he will cry someday. I don’t know how he dares to think of using his own money to fill the hole. But this is a good thing. Even with the incident of Yan Bugui, our courtyard may be rated as an advanced courtyard.
And who am I? A projectionist at a steel mill, what department am I in? The Propaganda Department, brother, when the time comes I'll have someone write a report for me, let the factory publicize it, and then get a certificate from the street office. I, as a projectionist, might be able to move. Although this is a small matter, if it happens many times, isn't it a big deal?
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about business first. Dongsheng, can you help me? This is extremely urgent. If I can’t handle it well, I might have to go to jail.”
Xu Damao was talking to Xu Dongsheng about Liu Haizhong with a smile, but then his face froze and he asked Xu Dongsheng for help. Xu Dongsheng was also shocked. What happened? I haven't seen you for a week, and now you're going to jail?
"Brother Damao, what happened? Did you kill someone outside?"
Xu Dongsheng also put down his cup after hearing this, and then looked at Xu Damao with a serious expression. Did Xu Damao kill someone in the countryside? Or did he encounter robbers who robbed his projector?
"It's not as serious as murder, but it's still a failure. Brother, I almost couldn't make it back on my own this time. Zhao Gang is still waiting for me in the countryside."
Then Xu Damao told Xu Dongsheng about what happened in the countryside. It turned out that he and Zhao Gang went to Feihuang Village together. Xu Damao showed movies and Zhao Gang was responsible for discussing purchasing matters. As a result, Xu Damao and Zhao Gang were both kept and treated warmly, but the village did not arrange any other projects for Xu Damao and Zhao Gang.
The two of them had been considered true brothers during this period, and had even fought together on the battlefield, so that night, Xu Damao and Zhao Gang quietly got up and went to the home of a widow who had been staring at him and flirting with him from time to time during the day. The widow was good-looking, and Xu Damao thought she was good-looking, and Zhao Gang also thought she was beautiful, so Xu Damao and Zhao Gang decided to go find this person together.
But unexpectedly, Xu Damao and Zhao Gang were invited in, and after negotiations, it was finally agreed that Xu Damao and Zhao Gang would have to give some supplies and money in addition to their full energy. When everything was discussed and they were ready to pay the things they brought first, the village captain came with a group of people and surrounded them.
Only then did Xu Damao realize that the widow was the daughter-in-law of the village chief. The village chief's son died and his grandson drowned while bathing in the river. The village chief believed that they were killed by the widow and threw the widow there. As a result, Xu Damao and Zhao Gang were caught red-handed. Xu Damao's projector and bicycle were confiscated, and Zhao Gang was beaten, and his bicycle and people were confiscated.
Later, Xu Dongsheng was asked to come back and raise 500 yuan and 500 kilograms of grain to go to the village, otherwise Xu Damao and Zhao Gang would be arrested and brought to see the officials. Xu Damao and Zhao Gang were both scared, but they really couldn't come up with so much grain. Finally, after a series of bargaining, the money was negotiated to 300 yuan. Each family in the village could only get 6 yuan, and the grain was 450 kilograms. No matter what, the price wouldn't be lowered, not even a kilogram less.
Xu Damao became more and more anxious as he spoke, and his tears were about to fall. How could he get these things at this moment? Money was easy to talk about, he had some savings, his father could help a little, and Zhao Gang's family had to contribute as well, but for the food, even if he took out all the food and added food coupons to buy it, it would only be 50 kilograms, and the upper limit was 100 kilograms, no more, otherwise their family would starve to death, and Xu Damao's father would not let Xu Damao do this.
It is estimated that Zhao Gang's family cannot get that much food, at most a hundred kilograms, or at most a hundred and fifty kilograms, so the gap is still very large. The only purchasing agent he knows who has a good relationship with and greater ability is Xu Dongsheng, so he has to come to Xu Dongsheng for help.
"Brother Damao, you guys are really like a toad playing with a frog, the ugly one is playing with the flower, and the relationship between you and Zhao Gang is too, too outrageous, right? I can't even imagine it.
But, Brother Damao, don't you feel like you've been cheated? You all happened to like it, and they all happened to be there, and you caught them?"
Xu Dongsheng looked at Xu Damao with an expression that made him wonder, in this era, there are still people who are so good at playing? Could Xu Damao be a time traveler? And Xu Dongsheng felt that Xu Damao and Zhao Gang were deceived.
"I also realized it, but what can I do? I can only admit defeat. The whole village pointed out Zhao Gang and me. Dongsheng, tell me, what should we do? What would you do if you ran into this?"
Xu Dongsheng was also stunned by Xu Damao's words. What would he do if he encountered such a situation? No, he would not encounter it.
"I was almost led astray by you. If I hadn't done these lousy things, wouldn't I have encountered this situation? So, what you mean is that you don't have enough money and food now? Where did you get your bacon? It's so big, at least half a pound, right?"
Xu Dongsheng looked at Xu Damao and his eyes widened. Could it be that Xu Damao came to show off to him? What special hobbies did Xu Damao have?
"My brother, no, brother, didn't you see that I was empty-handed when I entered the yard? I didn't dare to show any abnormality when I entered the yard, for fear that I would be exposed accidentally. I cheated Liu Haizhong out of fifty yuan, and then came back with the bacon to find you.
Brother, you're the only one who can help me now. I can scrape together the three hundred yuan, plus some from Zhao Gang's family, but I really don't have any way to pay for the four hundred and fifty kilograms of grain.
"Brother, I can only rely on you to help me. Please help me get 250 kilograms, no, 200 kilograms, please, otherwise I really have no other choice. Consider it a big favor to you. From now on, if you need me, I will do anything for you, okay? Brother."
Xu Damao called Xu Dongsheng "brother" and "older brother" for help. He also knew that getting 200 kilograms of food was already a very difficult task. Xu Dongsheng still had to complete the task of the purchasing department. Adding 200 kilograms of food would make it extremely difficult.
After hearing this, Xu Dongsheng fell silent. He had met Xu Damao, but he was still reluctant to help him. Not to mention whether what Xu Damao said was worth believing, what if Xu Damao and Zhao Gang teamed up to deceive him?
But Xu Dongsheng thought about it and decided that if Xu Damao was lying to him, he had plenty of ways to deal with him. But if what Xu Damao said was true, then Xu Damao was also a talent and he might be useful in the future.
Xu Damao looked at Xu Dongsheng without saying anything. Although he was anxious, he did not rush Xu Dongsheng. He waited for Xu Dongsheng's reply with sweat on his forehead.
"When will you be handed in?"
Xu Dongsheng was silent for a moment, then asked about Xu Damao.
"Three days. Three days. Let me deliver it to them. If I can't deliver it, then they will take my confession and Zhao Gang to the police. By then, even if we are not shot, we will be locked up."
Xu Damao told Xu Dongsheng, sweating profusely, the time when he would pay the grain and money. When Xu Damao heard Xu Dongsheng ask this, he felt relieved, but he didn't dare to think too much about it, and quickly told Xu Dongsheng the time.
"Two hundred kilograms of food in three days, and that doesn't include the day it was delivered, which means two days. One hundred kilograms of food a day is too difficult. I think you know the situation in the village. Basically, there is no private food. I think you also know how difficult it is to get food. I can only get you one hundred kilograms, at most one hundred and fifty kilograms, and it's not just food, it also has to include sweet potatoes and potatoes."
He told Xu Damao that the food he could get for him might be only 150 kilograms. Of course, Xu Dongsheng could get even 10,000 kilograms, but he had to do it like this to show his importance.
"Brother, no, big brother, you are my big brother from now on. Thank you so much. I will drink this cup. I won't say more. It's all in the wine. When the monthly salary is paid, I will pay you back first, but I will remember this friendship for the rest of my life."
Although he failed to get 200 kilograms, 150 kilograms was not bad, and the village chief and his men did not ask for any food, so potatoes and sweet potatoes should be counted. Xu Damao drank three cups of wine vigorously and thanked Xu Dongsheng. Xu Dongsheng did not say much, but clinked glasses with Xu Damao. It really seemed as if everything was in the wine.
