The house had no windows and it was pitch dark inside.
Wang Wuye pulled the light cord, and the incandescent light bulb on the roof flickered twice, emitting dim yellow light.
"Hiss..." After seeing clearly what was inside the house, Li Donglai took a breath.
Refined flour, wheat, millet, soap, toothpaste... half the room was filled.
This is a grocery warehouse.
Even in the corner, Li Donglai saw a few old radios.
"How about it? This is the family fortune of me and these old buddies." Mr. Wang Wu was quite proud.
Li Donglai nodded in agreement.
Materials are scarce these days, and sometimes you can’t buy goods even with money and tickets.
With this warehouse, Wang Wuye's gray pigeon business can be stable.
"This is 5410 infant formula powder, this is Feidun formula milk replacer powder, and this is "Guangming" milk replacer powder." Wang Wuye took out three iron cans from the cabinet and carried them over.
Li Donglai took it and looked at it carefully.
In this era, milk powder is not called milk powder, but milk powder.
Feidun and Guangming are both authentic milk powders.
5410 infant formula powder is a nutritional product mixed with soybean powder, egg yolk powder and rice flour.
"How much?" Li Donglai put the tin can into the canvas bag, reached into his trouser pocket and took out a large stack of unity.
"We are all brothers, how can we still ask for your money?" Mr. Wang Wu seemed to feel insulted and waved his hands repeatedly, "Besides, you don't want any of the dividends from the scrap business."
Li Donglai knows this kind of old-school people, spitting out a nail.
If you force him to give you money, he would dare to fall out with you.
Just give it up.
When I was about to leave the warehouse, I caught a glimpse of a broken radio in the corner. I walked over and played with it a few times.
There is a battery inside, but there is no response when I press the switch. It is obviously broken.
"Fifth Master, can this thing be sold?"
"Ahem, I get angry when I talk about this." Wang Wuye struck a match, lit the pot, and sighed: "This is what Erzi took back as scrap. I thought I would find someone to fix it and take it to the pigeon market.
It was sold in the factory, but no one knew how to repair it. The factory didn't want this thing, so it could only be thrown here as junk."
Li Donglai held the radio and was thoughtful.
The quality of radios these days is also very good, and they generally don’t have problems.
The reason why it is broken must be that there is something wrong with the circuit board inside.
If it can be repaired, it will indeed be a way to make money.
Although he is not short of money now, when spring comes, how can he do big things without any funds?
Maybe...
"I'll take this back and study it."
Li Donglai's heart moved, he put the radio into a canvas bag and left the courtyard.

At this moment, in the courtyard, Xu Damao's house.
"Snapped!"
As soon as Xu Damao entered the house, he was slapped hard by Xu Ganzi.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Xu Damao covered his face.
"What are you doing? It's all the fault of you, a beast!"
After Xu Ganzi was released from the police station, he found that Xu Chen was imprisoned in a fence, and he quickly asked Gong for information.
Gong Suo did not hide anything from him, and told Xu Ganzi exactly what Xu Chen had done.
Xu Ganzi was stunned when he heard this.
He and Mrs. Xu Chen have slept in the same bed for decades and know this woman very well.
Although she is a bit petty and likes the rich and the poor, she definitely doesn't have the guts to do such bad things.
Thinking back to Xu Damao, who rarely goes home, he ran home very actively a few days ago.
Every time he came back, he would bring many gifts, and he would drag Mr. Xu Chen beside him and murmur.
Xu Ganzi understood.
It must have been Xu Damao who framed someone else and was found out, allowing Xu Chen to take the blame.
"Beast, you are just a beast. She is your mother. She worked hard to give birth to you in ten months of pregnancy. She stretched you out with shit and urine. You treat her like this. Are you still a human being?"
Xu Ganzi's face turned red with anger and his voice was trembling.
"Why are you shouting? You're afraid that the neighbors won't hear and you don't know our family's jokes, right?" Xu Damao's face darkened, and he turned around and closed the door.
Then, he sat down holding on to the pole.
Then he picked up the hot water bottle and poured an enamel jar of tea into Xu Zhanzi.
"Dad, this is my fault. I was obsessed with it. But I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect them to find out about Mom."
Xu Damao rubbed Xu Zhuangzi's shoulders, his voice was low, and he would sigh deeply from time to time, looking miserable.
"Since it's your fault, turn yourself in and replace your mother." Xu Zhuangzi pushed his hand away impatiently, clenched his hand into a fist, and banged the table loudly.
"Your mother is already over fifty, and she still has so many problems with her body. How could she be hurt by being locked up in there?"
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Damao angrily: "If you still have any conscience, replace your mother with her."
Xu Damao sat down heavily and said dejectedly: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to. You think it's a factory. If you go in, you can take over the job, and if you come out, you will be released. Even if I surrender now, my mother will cover up the crime and won't let me out."
.”
Although Xu Ganzi did not believe that Xu Damao would surrender, he also knew the truth of what Xu Damao said.
Just thinking about his wife suffering inside made him feel like a knife.
I hope he will work hard all his life.
There was a flash flood that year. In order to show a movie to the villagers, it was almost washed away by the river.
I have never done anything harmful to nature.
How could such a beast be born?
"Then tell me, what should we do? Anyway, we can't let your mother stay in there like that," Xu Zhuangzi gritted his teeth and stared at Xu Damao, and said bitterly: "If you can't find a way to rescue your mother, I will go
Report you."
Report? Is this still my biological father?
Xu Damao immediately wanted to quarrel with Xu Ganzi, but he also knew that he couldn't act out of emotion at this moment.
This old man has a bit of a stubborn temper, and if he gets pissed off, he can really do something righteous enough to kill relatives.
"Dad, I'm trying to think of a solution right now. You know your son is living very freely outside and has many friends. Mom will be released soon." Xu Damao said perfunctorily.
"Really?" Xu Zhuangzi was dubious.
"Of course it's true." Xu Damao thought for a moment and lowered his voice: "Now that I have a relationship with Deputy Factory Director Li, I can become the publicity officer this time because Deputy Factory Director Li specially approved it."
"You also know Deputy Director Li. He is a big shot and has great energy."
"As long as I find a way to get Deputy Director Li to take action, my mother will definitely come out."
Xu Ganzi has worked in the steel rolling mill for more than ten years, and he also knows the figure of Deputy Director Li.
He nodded slowly: "Then you should hurry up, your mother won't last long in there."
After saying that, Xu Ganzi didn't bother to look at Xu Damao, stood up and wanted to leave.
There are a few old hens raised in the old home.
The old lady was not at home, so he couldn't let the chickens starve.
But he was stopped by Xu Damao.
"Dad, there is another way to rescue mother."
"What?" Xu Ganzi was excited.
"We are looking for Li Donglai. As long as Li Donglai goes to the police station and withdraws the case, my mother will be released." Xu Damao smiled sinisterly.
As his name suggests, this old man is a standard second-guessing guy.
He was worried that he would not be able to complete the task of Deputy Director Li.
Now it would be good to let the old man come forward to cause some trouble for Li Dong.
