Chapter 37 Obtaining the bicycle ticket

Wang Xiulan happened to be home, so he had no more worries. He found his way to Li Huaide's office, knocked on the door, and heard "Come in" from inside. He pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Huaide was reviewing documents at the moment. When he saw that it was Zhang Xingwang, he immediately put down the documents in his hand and asked in surprise:

"Little brother, why are you here?"

After saying this, he said with anticipation:

"Or is there something that we need to help each other with?"

"I am sorry to bother you uninvited. I heard recently that the organization has added more responsibilities to you. You have encountered another hot potato and there are some difficulties at home. I would like the leader to give you some advice."

"Tell me what difficulties your family has. If they meet the requirements, I will report them to the relevant leaders."

It seems that the black bear was not given in vain. The relationship is now in place. Otherwise, he would not be needed after the promotion. Given this guy's personality, he might turn against me.

Probably because Li Huaide had just made progress, he was still relatively cautious. Zhang Xingwang simply said that he wanted his eldest sister to replace his mother's position and then find a way to transfer her to an easier job.

However, Zhang Xingwang then analyzed the workers' support and necessity for the newly appointed factory director, as well as the workers' desire and gratitude for meat.

When Li Huaide heard this, he felt more confident and knew how to build up his prestige among the workers.

I wanted to befriend this little brother who had "connections" even more, and then I replied solemnly:

"I understand your family's situation. Your mother is old, so you should consider letting your sister take her place.

Moreover, it is really not good for women to work in a workshop. I heard that they can't read blueprints and can't do heavy work. Wouldn't this affect production efficiency?

It just so happens that the Propaganda Department is short of staff recently, so I will report this to the higher-ups to see if there is any possibility of redeployment.”

"Director Li, there is no need for the Propaganda Department. Please see if there is any shortage of staff in the logistics warehouse. If there is, please give it priority consideration."

Zhang Xingwang thought to himself that the Propaganda Department was not a good place for feng shui. When the wind started to blow, it would be a place prone to trouble.

So I decisively rejected Li Huaide's kindness.

Li Huaide thought that Zhang Xingwang's demands were not excessive and were very low, so he looked at him with a different eye.

I agreed to it without hesitation, but I mentioned that the warehouse sometimes needs to take inventory, and some of the inventory at the steel mill is heavy, which would be more difficult for women to do.

But after hearing Zhang Xingwang say nonchalantly that her sister was fine, she didn't say anything more.

The two of them also had a detailed discussion and in-depth research on the specific matters of the work and the hot potato situation.

Zhang Xingwang stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Li Huaide told him again that if he wanted to find him next time, he should go to the Security Department to find Lao Shen, and he would talk to Lao Shen later.

When we got to the door, the gatekeeper asked, "Your mother has already returned, are you lost?"

Zhang Xingwang had no way to explain, so he ignored him.

Then, while the gatekeeper was looking at "Monkey" with an expression, he walked out of the steel mill.

I dragged my tired body back home. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the aroma from the pot. I drank a sip of water and waited for everyone to eat.

Everyone devoured the meal ravenously, and said that Uncle Daniu's cooking skills were truly amazing.

To be honest, although we hunted a lot of meat, the family had only eaten pheasants before. So this meal was quite satisfying for the family.

But recently, everyone has been able to eat enough every day and their complexion has improved a lot.

The one who changed the most was the little girl. Children absorb things quickly, and her originally dull hair gradually turned black and became shiny.

The skinny little face has a little bit of baby fat. With the big lively eyes and new clothes, it looks very cute, just like a soft and chubby baby.

Moreover, he has grown a lot taller recently, his arms and short legs are stronger, and his speech is clearer.

I hope she doesn't have the same strength as her elder sister. It's already a lot to have a strong woman in the family.

The eldest sister hasn't changed much, but the second sister has become a little whiter recently, but there is no difference if you don't look closely. It seems that the second sister still has a long way to go before she can become fair, rich and beautiful.

He asked about his second sister's recent work situation and after learning that everything was going well, he asked her to make another pair of shoes for him when she had time.

I've been going back to the village and up the mountain these past two days, and my thousand-layer soles are almost turning into flip-flops. I felt a little embarrassed to meet Li Huaide today.

The fourth sister hasn't changed much, except that she seems to have grown taller.

After talking to the second sister, he drank some water, cleared his throat, and attracted the attention of several women in the family. Zhang Xingwang looked at them and said seriously:

"I went to the steel mill today and asked someone to help. Big sister, you should prepare to go there in the next two days to handle the formalities and take over your mother's position. After working there for a while, you will be transferred to the warehouse as an administrator."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fourth sister suddenly appeared from behind him with a kettle in her hand and asked anxiously:

"Brother, how did you do this? Is this true? Who did you drag down? Will mother be able to rest at home from now on?"

Zhang Xingwang was frightened again. This fourth sister was just on his right. Did she float over? He replied angrily:

"In the future when you are at home, please don't talk outside my sight, okay? I beg you."

After saying this, he said with lingering fear:

"If you keep doing this, you'll have to send me away sooner or later.

I have already made the arrangements, and my mother will stay at home and take care of her health."

Looking at the women at home, who were still chattering about their elder sister's employment at the factory, Zhang Xingwang casually said that he had something to do and left.

Dragging heavy steps, he walked exhaustedly towards the abandoned yard he had been to last time. When he arrived at the place, he estimated that it was still early, so he sat on the collapsed wall, taking a rest and smoking. About half an hour later, a truck slowly drove over.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingwang put the two wild boars in the space into the yard.

The truck stopped at the gate of the yard. Li Huaide got out of the car with a drunken look on his face, followed by two middle-aged men with serious faces.

Li Huaide burped, came to Zhang Xingwang, glanced at the wild boar in the yard, patted Zhang Xingwang on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Little brother, I was delayed by something, so I came a little late, but I brought the things to you."

As he said that, he took out a receipt from his pocket. After Zhang Xingwang took it, he looked at it carefully under the light of the truck and found that it was a bicycle ticket.

This is a rare item. You can hardly find it in the pigeon market, and in the black market, if you are lucky, you may have to wait ten days or half a month to come across it.

I talked to Li Huaide today and asked if I could use this small one to exchange for a bicycle ticket or a watch ticket. Li Huaide immediately said that it was no problem and that I could get the remaining amount for whatever I wanted.

What’s more, they brought it to us in the evening. Mr. Li is really reliable. As long as there are benefits, his efficiency is impeccable.

Li Huaide was also very proud of himself as he watched the two middle-aged men skillfully weighing and loading the goods.

The big wild boar weighed 258 kilograms, and the other party rounded it up to 260 kilograms. The little pig weighed 104 kilograms, which was 6 yuan at 218 cents per kilogram. The bicycle ticket was used to offset 35 yuan, so the total amount I got was 183 yuan.

After the money and goods were settled, Li Huaide kindly said that he should go to him tomorrow to get the note, then he waved his hand, got into the car and left with a burp.

This transaction was a success. The little wild boar exchanged the bicycle ticket for a priceless one and made more than 100 yuan.

This is mainly because wild boars do not have as much fat as domesticated ones, and so have relatively less oil and water. They are still calculated by the whole body. Although no ticket is required, the price is acceptable. Moreover, they also helped me to transfer my sister to another position, which gave me an invisible discount on the price. I couldn't bargain with them.

But how Li Huaide will get reimbursement when he returns will depend on his ability. It is possible that the note will say 218 yuan.

These days, demand exceeds supply. What the factory lacks is not money, but food to eat. Not to mention that if you can get meat outside the plan, price will not be a problem.

No one cared about the origin of the money. If necessary, they could cover it up or issue a note like the hospital's purchase. Otherwise, Li Huaide would not have given the bicycle ticket so readily.

Zhang Xingwang was restless from morning to night today. He rubbed his weak legs, yawned, and slowly returned home. He ignored the curious looks of the women and fell asleep.
