Seeing Liu Haizhong's appearance, the second aunt knew that Liu Haizhong did not ask for the money.
He sighed, patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder and said, "If Liu Haizhong loses the five hundred yuan, it will be lost. As long as you are a good person, it will be fine.
You are still a master craftsman in the workshop, and you can get a salary of seventy or eighty yuan a month. When you retire, you will still have a retirement salary, so we are not short of money for retirement!"
Liu Haizhong also woke up at this time.
"Old woman, it would be great if things were as you thought. Now I have accepted the task of Deputy Factory Director Wang to frame Li Weidong. If I can't complete this task, according to my understanding of Deputy Factory Director Wang, he will definitely not
You will let me go!"
The second aunt didn't understand this, so she rolled her eyes and said.
"Old man, even if Deputy Factory Director Wang is powerful and you are a big worker, there is nothing he can do to you!"
"Old woman, your thinking is too simple! Deputy Factory Director Wang has ten thousand ways to punish people.
Moreover, I recently offended the workshop director in the workshop, who had long wanted to kick me out!
If the deputy director wants to fire me, the workshop director will definitely cooperate with Deputy Director Wang!"
Hear this.
The second aunt felt like her head was buzzing.
"Old man, I don't understand why you want to offend Li Weidong when we are living a good life?
Well now, you've caused a lot of trouble before you even started taking action!"
Liu Haizhong regretted it now. He should not have accepted the task of Deputy Factory Director Wang, but now it is too late even if he regrets it.
As a worker, Liu Haizhong had a strong body. It didn't take long for him to get out of bed. He put on his clothes and headed outside.
When the second aunt saw Liu Haizhong leaving again, she quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Old man, your injury hasn't healed yet, what are you going to do now!"
"Of course I'm buying antiques! I can't wait here for Deputy Director Wang to fire me!"
"Old man, but now that you have no money, how can you buy antiques?"
Liu Haizhong said with a smile.
"Old lady, although I have no money, I can borrow money! I still have many good friends in Liu Haizhong in Beijing. As long as I ask, they will definitely lend me money!"
Although the second aunt did not agree with Liu Haizhong's statement.
After all, Liu Haizhong didn't have many good friends with him over the years.
Those few friends who often drank with him were fair-weather friends and could not be relied upon at all.
But the second aunt also knew that now Liu Haizhong was encountering difficulties, so she could only let him give it a try.
Liu Haizhong, dragging his body covered with bruises, was the first to meet Lao Ma.
Lao Ma and Liu Haizhong have known each other for more than ten years. They both like drinking and often drink together.
When Lao Ma's son started working in the steel rolling mill, Liu Haizhong was very helpful.
Now Liu Haizhong thinks that Lao Ma should return his favor.
The two met in a tavern. Lao Ma saw Liu Haizhong's face was bruised and purple, and asked curiously: "Liang Haizhong, what happened to you? Was it because you were beaten? Tell me it was."
Whoever hits you, I will go and avenge you right away!"
Liu Haizhong smiled awkwardly and said: "Old Ma, you misunderstood, no one hit me!"
"That's it. Who dares to hit my old brother? He's so tired of living!"
Lao Ma's attitude made Liu Haizhong very happy.
After the two drank a few glasses of wine, Liu Haizhong said in a low voice.
"Brother Lao Ma has encountered some difficulties recently and wants to borrow some money from you!"
When he heard about borrowing money, Lao Ma, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly turned cold.
After drinking a glass of wine, he sighed and said: "Liu Haizhong, we are old friends who have known each other for many years. Logically speaking, I should lend you money no matter how difficult it is, but you also know that my son is getting married soon.
It will definitely cost a lot of money!"
"I remember your son was just eighteen years old, why did he get married?"
"You don't know where we get married relatively early!"
Seeing Lao Ma's face turn red, Liu Haizhong knew that he didn't want to help.
Liu Haizhong spoke a few more words, but Lao Ma continued to evade.
Finally, when Liu Haizhong was about to continue borrowing money, Lao Ma suddenly staggered and fell on the table, as if he was drunk.
Liu Haizhong looked at Lao Ma and shook his head. He had been drinking with Lao Ma for so many years, and he knew Lao Ma's drinking capacity very well.
Lao Ma claims that he will never get drunk after a thousand cups of wine. Although this is a bit exaggerated, he can always drink five kilograms of wine every time.
Now Lao Ma is drunk after only half a ounce of wine.
Liu Haizhong had no choice but to sigh, stand up and prepare to continue borrowing money from other friends.
As soon as I took two steps, I was stopped by the hotel waiter.
"Comrade, please pay for the drink, it's fifty cents in total!"
"This is Lao Ma buying me a drink, Lao Ma should pay for it!"
Liu Haizhong wanted to defend himself, but when he turned around, he saw Lao Ma lying drunk on the table. He had no choice but to pay fifty cents.
After Liu Haizhong left the tavern, he found two more friends. Those good friends who were usually close friends ran away as soon as they heard about it and borrowed money.
Fortunately, they didn't trick Liu Haizhong into drinking.
After a busy morning, Liu Haizhong didn't borrow a penny. Just when he was feeling extremely melancholy, he thought of someone.
The man's name was Liu Zhenyun, and he was from the same village as Liu Haizhong.
The two often played together when they were young.
In the words of Jingcheng, it means "faxiao".
But later Liu Haizhong arrived in the capital.
The two were separated now, but Liu Haizhong met Liu Zhenyun on the street a while ago.
He knew that Liu Zhenyun was now working as a worker in a match factory and lived in a compound not far from the courtyard house.
Liu Haizhong saw that it was almost noon.
He dragged his tired steps to the side of the compound and waited for Liu Zhenyun to return.
Sure enough, not after a while, Liu Zhenyun walked in from outside carrying a canvas bag.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward and blocked Liu Zhenyun's path.
"Zhenyun, I am Liu Haizhong!"
When I saw Liu Haizhong, Liu Zhenyun was not as enthusiastic as Liu Haizhong imagined.
"You still have the nerve to come to me with bangs!"
Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "Liu Zhenyun, what do you mean? We have been friends since childhood. Now that we have arrived in the capital, we should help each other. Why can't I come to you? Have you forgotten that we played a lot back then?"
How wonderful is that?"
Liu Zhenyun frowned after hearing Liu Haizhong's words.
"Liu Haizhong, do you think I have forgotten everything that happened back then?"
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly changed.
The reason why the two of them have no contact in recent years is because there is still a little bit of hatred between them.
At that time, both of them were members of the village.
One day, a factory in the capital came to the commune to recruit workers. Liu Haizhong and Liu Zhenyun had good physical fitness and some cultural knowledge, so both of them were likely to work in the factory in the capital.
But there was only one quota, and Liu Zhenyun was a simple-minded member. He even had the idea of giving up his quota to Liu Haizhong.
But Liu Haizhong secretly put a laxative in Liu Zhenyun's rice bowl.
When the leaders of the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill interviewed them, Liu Zhenyun ran back and forth to the hut.
This of course caused dissatisfaction among the leaders, and eventually Liu Haizhong became a worker at the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill.
But later Liu Zhenyun married a daughter-in-law from Beijing, so he also got a quota to enter Beijing.
Thinking of these things, Liu Haizhong smiled and said: "Liu Zhenyun, I know that I was a little wrong about what happened back then, but those are all in the past, they are all small things, and we are still good brothers!"
When Liu Zhenyun heard this, he wanted to scold Liu Haizhong, but he was also curious about Liu Haizhong coming to him.
"Liu Haizhong, do you have anything to do with me today?"
Liu Haizhong quickly told the story of borrowing money.
Liu Zhenyun looked at Liu Haizhong in disbelief.
He never expected that Liu Haizhong would dare to ask him to borrow money now after he did such dirty things.
Liu Zhenyun has seen many shameless people, but this is the first time he has seen someone as shameless as Liu Haizhong.
Liu Zhenyun took a deep breath, pointed to the road outside and said, "Liu Haizhong, get out of here!"
Liu Haizhong was startled, shrank his neck and said: "Liu Zhenyun, I regard you as a brother, I think highly of you and that's why I came to ask you to borrow money.
Now you not only don’t lend me the money, but you are also asking me to leave. You really have no conscience at all!”
Although he said it harshly, Liu Haizhong also knew that Liu Zhenyun would definitely not lend him the money.
There was no other way, so Liu Haizhong could only drag his tired pace back to the courtyard.
After returning home, Liu Haizhong fell into melancholy. He knew that Deputy Director Wang would not let him go.
But where to find money now to buy antiques?
Liu Haizhong's eyes fell on his radio.
If there is anything in this home that Liu Haizhong likes the most, it has to be this radio.
After working in the city, Liu Haizhong saved seven or eight wages.
Instead of using the money to help poor families, he bought the radio at a high price on the black market.
Because Liu Haizhong felt that whenever he sat in front of the radio and listened to those passionate and generous voices coming from the radio.
Liu Haizhong felt that he was already a big leader.
This feeling made him ecstatic.
So every morning Liu Haizhong would listen to the radio for more than ten minutes before going to work in high spirits.
Liu Haizhong put the radio in his arms, a little reluctant to leave it.
When the second aunt saw Liu Haizhong like this, she also knew that he was thinking about the radio, and said in surprise: "Old man, are you really planning to sell the radio? This is your treasure!"
Liu Haizhong stroked the radio reluctantly and said: "Old lady, how could I not know that this is my treasure, but once I offend Deputy Factory Director Wang, I won't even be able to keep my job. In this case, I can only sell it."
I dropped the radio, don’t worry, I’ll buy a TV set after I become a leader again!”
Liu Haizhong decided to sell the radio, but he soon encountered another difficulty.
In this era, there was also a place to collect used goods, and that was the trust store.
Liu Haizhong put his radio in the trust store.
After the employees of the trust store checked the radio and found various problems, they finally decided to only give Liu Haizhong five yuan.
This made Liu Haizhong really unbearable. He was not a fool. Where could he buy antiques with these five yuan?
With no other choice, Liu Haizhong returned to the courtyard with the radio in his arms.
The third uncle was still sorting out his junk in front of the door as usual.
It's just that there is one more person today, and that is the horizon layer.
The reason why Yan Jiecheng helped the third uncle today was because he wanted the third uncle to pay for him to buy a radio.
How could someone as stingy as Third Uncle spend such unjust money?
"Yan Jiecheng, don't worry. There are often some second-hand goods sellers on the street. There may be radios there. We can buy one at a cheap price by then!"
"Dad, you also know that radios are very popular. Generally speaking, they are sold by others as soon as they appear. How can I get my turn?" Yan Jiecheng was very dissatisfied with the third uncle's stinginess.
Yan Jiecheng left angrily.
When Liu Haizhong passed by the third uncle's door, he happened to hear the conversation between the two. Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes, walked over and said, "Third uncle, do you want to buy a radio?"
The third uncle had just quarreled with Liu Haitong two days ago. He originally didn't intend to talk to Liu Haizhong, but he saw Liu Haizhong holding a radio in his arms.
The third uncle seemed to have noticed something and said with a smile.
"Liu Haizhong, you're not going to sell your precious radio, are you?"
Liu Haizhong said with some embarrassment: "Third uncle, I do want to buy a radio, but I am not short of money. I am no longer interested in radios. It will not be long before I will buy a TV!"
Of course the third uncle would not believe what Liu Haizhong said, so he curled his lips and said, "Liu Haizhong, why don't you go to heaven!"
Liu Haizhong felt that he was being despised by the third uncle, and said angrily: "Third uncle, let's not talk about these things. I will ask you if you want to buy this radio!"
The third uncle is a person who particularly likes to take advantage of others.
I saw that Liu Haizhong was actually willing to sell radios.
Of course he wanted to buy it.
"Liu Haizhong, we are all neighbors in the same compound. Just tell us how much you plan to sell this radio for."
Liu Haizhong stretched out a finger and said: "One hundred dollars!"
Hearing this, the third uncle rolled his eyes: "Why don't you grab the bangs!"
Liu Haizhong said loudly: "Uncle Third, a radio on the market now costs 150 or 60 yuan. Isn't it cheap if I sell it for 100 yuan?"
"The radio on the market in Liu Haizhong is a new radio. Your radio has been used for so many years, and the residents in our compound all know that you like listening to radios very much, so your radio may be broken soon.
Lost.
I think so, considering we are all neighbors, I will give you fifty yuan!"
The third uncle thought about it carefully and gave a price that he thought was fair.
"Fifty yuan is not enough, at least ninety yuan is needed!" Liu Haizhong said loudly.
In the end, the two argued for a while and settled the deal for eighty yuan.
The third uncle held the radio and felt ecstatic in his heart.
He could definitely sell this radio to Yan Jiecheng, and he would definitely earn twenty yuan by then.
Liu Haizhong finally had the capital to buy antiques after receiving 80 yuan.
