Under the forty-nine city walls, there stands a group of low tube towers.

This is the home of the elderly family members of the steel rolling mill.

At this time, it was time to get off work. The employees had been working hard all day and were dragging their tired bodies home.

It happens to be cloudy.

Although it didn't snow, the cold wind was as sharp as a knife, going straight into the cracks of people's bones.

So familiar employees saw Yuan Sishi taking shelter from the wind under the wall.

They were all a little stunned.

He showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Brother Fourth, why don't you go home in such a cold weather?"

Lao Yuantou is the deputy director of the fifth workshop.

Yuan Si is his biological son.

I heard that Yuan Si has three older brothers.

However, there was a disaster in Yuan Si's hometown when he was a child. Old Yuan Tou took his family to the north to escape. On the way, his three brothers died one after another, and he was the only one who survived.

Although the man survived, he also suffered from the root cause of the disease. His body has been weak since he was a child, and he would cough when exposed to cold winds, so it is rare for him to go out for activities in such cold weather.

Yuan Si said casually.

"It's a bit stuffy at home, let's come out and get some fresh air."

"Oh."

The familiar employees responded and braved the wind and left.

They only thought about their wives and children, and they didn't care whether Yuan Si really felt bored at home or had other secrets.

Anyway, it was just a casual question.

"It's really cold today."

Yuan Si stamped his feet and complained.

He wrapped himself in a military green cotton-padded jacket and huddled deeper into the wall, peeking out from time to time.

After sending away a few workers who were watching the fun, Yuan Si and others became impatient.

"Why aren't you here yet?"

It's getting colder and colder now.

Yuan Si felt that his hands and feet were a little numb.

Just when he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up and he crawled out from under the wall.

"Doctor Ge, I've been waiting for you."

Ge Shulan was startled, and it took her several seconds to recover.

She patted her chest and said angrily: "Brother Fourth, you suddenly jumped out and scared me."

"Hey, I have something urgent to ask you."

Yuan Si rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Dr. Ge, can you still buy the miracle medicine that you sold me last time? It's the medicine that was used to treat my mother's headaches. I have a few friends who want to stock up on some."

Ge Shulan frowned.

"Comrade Yuan Si, what are you talking about? If it's okay, I'll leave first."

She shook off Yuan Si's arm and walked towards her home.

Yuan Si naturally refused to let go of this opportunity. He pestered Ge Shulan and took out a large black card from his pocket, saying that it was for Ge Shulan as a deposit.

Ge Shulan's steps suddenly stopped.

The big black card is right in front of you.

Flying in the wind, extremely enchanting.

Just reach out and get it.

She looked around.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he pulled Yuan Si into the door of a dormitory building and lowered his voice.

"How much do you plan to ask for?"

"I plan to buy 30 yuan first and give you 10 yuan as a deposit. I will give you the remaining 20 yuan when the medicine arrives."

Ge Shulan cast a greedy look in her eyes.

This is a big deal.

But she was still a little worried.

"What are you doing with so much medicine?"

"Hehe, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? I plan to make a little fortune. Of course, we are just doing it in a small way and can't compare to you." Yuan Si confessed directly.

Ge Shulan warned: "I want to tell you in advance that the medicine I am giving you is anti-inflammatory. You can take it for headaches, fever, etc., but you cannot take too much because it has side effects."

】

Yuan Si was startled.

"What are the side effects? My wife took it last time. Is she okay?"

"That's okay. What I mean is that you can't eat too much, otherwise it won't work if you get sick in the future."

Ge Shulan explained a few words.

After appeasing Yuan Si, the two agreed on a time and place for the transaction, and happily walked home with the deposit in hand.

On the way, she clutched ten yuan tightly and her heart was beating fast.

Should I tell Director Xu?

In fact, Ge Shulan and Xu Qingying have always collaborated.

Ge Shulan took advantage of the convenience of working at the health station to steal various medicines including antibiotics, painkillers, etc. from the hospital and gave them to Xu Qingying.

Xu Qingying sold it through channels.

Ge Shulan also wanted to intervene, but Xu Qingying refused because she had no connections and was too pure of heart.

She is only responsible for getting the medicine.

These medicines were handed over to Xu Qingying, and the two finally split the accounts.

The cooperation was quite pleasant at the beginning.

But gradually, Xu Qingying's greedy nature was exposed.

He came up with various excuses to deduct the share from Ge Shulan.

Ge Shulan gradually became dissatisfied.

But there is no way.

Who told her she had no channels?

Since then, Ge Shulan has been thinking of ways to expand channels.

Yuan Si just tries.

Strictly speaking, it was just a small business in the past, but today is the biggest business she has ever encountered.

Thinking of her family's plight of lack of money and Xu Qingying's hateful face, Ge Shulan put the idea of ​​informing Xu Qingying behind her.

"After completing this business, I have already made three or four months' profit..."

Ge Shulan's eyes flickered, unaware that she was about to step into a trap.

......

After saying goodbye to Ge Shulan, Yuan Si did not go home directly, but turned around and entered a tavern.

A light bulb emitting warm yellow light hung above the door of the tavern, which was particularly conspicuous in this bleak night.

Yuan Si pushed the door open and went in.

The waiter was warming himself behind the counter and said angrily.

"Close the door quickly, it's freezing outside."

No sense of service at all.

Yuan Si shrugged.

He closed the door behind him, looked around, and then went to a wine table by the window.

There are two people drinking here.
