Jiang Dongfang got up and followed Xiao Du downstairs. When he got downstairs, Comrade Xiao Du lit a cigarette by himself and looked at Jiang Dongfang teasingly.
"Boy, give me back the cigarette."
Jiang Dongfang walked up aggressively.
"Uncle, if you want to take action, it may not be easy?"
"Stop talking nonsense and give me back the cigarette. You don't need it."
"This is not your attitude of asking for help. I'm not satisfied with it."
"Okay, today I did sell you out. I won't do it next time."
"Haha, that's pretty much it."
After Xiao Du finished speaking, he handed the two boxes of cigarettes and the stack of big unity to Jiang Dongfang.
"You are such a big cadre and you don't even have any personal money. I am worried about you."
"Take it and use it." Jiang Dongfang was a little embarrassed.
"If I really don't have any money, I'll borrow it directly from Aunt Li. You can hide it well!"
"Hey hey hey, get out of here!"
Xiao Du got out of here, and Jiang Dongfang went upstairs feeling very happy. He had to be his own Xiao Du, and he could always think of his Uncle Jiang.
After returning home, Aunt Li looked at him with a smile.
"Smoke is coming back?"
"Haha, he can't use those cigarettes. I'll give him two boxes of Zhonghua tomorrow."
"Where's the money?"
"what money?"
"Hey, Jiang Dongfang, you have become more capable, how dare you hide your private money?"
"Wipe it, give it, give it rice, it's really boring."
"Hahaha, what kind of character is Xiao Du? Can he spend money lavishly? He can ask for money at will. If you sell him, it will only add some trouble to you."
"After all, I'm not a human being inside or out, right?"
"No, I'm quite satisfied with your performance today. I'll reward you with a 20-yuan allowance, but you'd better smoke less and drink less."
"Oh, thank you, madam, hey hey hey."
Xiao Du had already gone far away and had no chance to see Jiang Dongfang, who was surrounded by five people and six people outside, and looked like a coward in the strict control of his wife at home.
Returning to the meal duty room, Comrade Xiao Du was extremely depressed. He still wanted to go on a blind date, which was annoying.
Wang Xiao came over and asked, "Have you been dealt with by Director Jiang?"
"Well, he uses his power to bully others."
"Haha, I can't do anything about this."
Wang Xiao also guessed that it couldn't be a murder case, it was probably a family matter.
"Brother Xiao, you are an intellectual. I want to give a meeting gift to the female students of Yan University. What kind of gift is suitable?"
"Hey, Yan Da Talented Girl? The original English novel, or a vinyl record, this is the most literary."
"Brother Xiao, are you an expert?"
"Haha, who hasn't ordered college friends yet?"
"Girlfriend?"
"What kind of girlfriend? She is a college student and she doesn't like us anymore."
"Brother Xiao, you are a bit presumptuous. Our steel rolling mill is also considered a top large factory in Sijiu City. You are 23 years old, a security officer, young and promising, and have a bright future. After you become a college student and become a regular worker, aren't you also a 23rd-level cadre?
?What’s wrong with us?”
"Oh, when you put it like that, it seems like this is what happened."
"Okay, you can think about it yourself. We are not afraid at all. Where can you buy English books and records?"
"There is a small trust store over in Nanluogu Lane. There is a Master Yu in there. He studied abroad in his early years and loves to deal with these foreign things. You go to him and tell me about my introduction."
"Okay."
The trust shops of this era were the pawn shops of the past.
The goods inside are also mixed, mostly tattered, but there are also many treasures, and the quality is still very high. It's just that the master craftsmen in the trust store have their own channels, and the real good stuff never ends up on the ground.
It creates the illusion that a trust store only has shabby old goods.
In addition, antiques and jewelry are not very valuable in this era. Without the circulation of these valuable items, the transaction amount will not be high, creating the illusion that the overall industry is sluggish.
It's quite a stretch. Comrade Xiao Du completed the night patrol with Wang Xiao tonight. He will have a day off tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, he will lead a group by himself. Of course, he will still be in the same class as Wang Xiao.
By the middle of the month, Wang Xiao was transferred to the day shift, and Comrade Xiao Du became the only officer on duty in the night shift, taking the lead on his own.
After finishing the handover, Comrade Xiao Du went back to Yu Huaihai's residence first. Today was the weekend, and Mr. Yu also had a rest, so he asked him to have breakfast with him.
Comrade Xiao Du is showing off again today!
He is still wearing the gray Lenin-style short-sleeved shirt, ironed and straight, straight-leg pants with straight trouser lines, shiny leather shoes, a plum blossom watch that is low-key and connotative, and a black leather briefcase with elegant temperament.
This outfit is so handsome and cool that it is beyond description! He is definitely the most handsome guy on the street!
Ugh, what an old joke.
In fact, Comrade Xiao Du always wears a Shanghai watch at work. He bought it by saving his allowance in the army. The plum blossom is a bit too high-end.
Yu Huaihai looked at Xiao Du's instructions, looking extremely coquettish, and felt inexplicable:
"Master Du, let's just have breakfast at that restaurant. Auntie is almost 50, aren't you?"
"Go away, young master, I'm going on a blind date today with the talented girl Yan. Have you ever seen a talented girl?"
"Hey, Du Weiguo, don't you want to date someone? Why are you still on a blind date?"
"There is nothing I can do. The girl will die or live. If she doesn't see me, she will commit suicide. This can be regarded as saving the lives of innocent citizens. It is my duty."
Damn it, we can't talk anymore today. Mr. Yu instantly broke through his defenses and suffered internal injuries. He was shocked by Xiao Du's profound pretending skills.
After breakfast, leaving Yu Huaihai who was still depressed, Comrade Xiao Du climbed onto the 28th carriage and went to the boundary of Nanluogu Lane.
The trust store is easy to find. It's right on the street. It has two floors and a large backyard. It should be a warehouse.
Entering the store, the layout is almost the same as that of a supply and marketing cooperative, except that tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea are not sold, and the items on display are all second-hand goods.
Although today is the weekend, there are still no people in the trust store and it is very deserted. Anyone with status can buy good things through their own channels, so there is no need to go to the store yourself.
The rest of the people who buy used goods don’t care whether it’s weekend or not.
"I'll look for Master Yu"
"I am, you are?"
"Hello, Master Yu, I was introduced here by Wang Xiao. My name is Du Weiguo."
"Oh, hehe, what does Comrade Du want to buy?"
Please pay attention to the word Tao, which is very insightful and leads Ma by a full 50 years.
Master Yu is a decent middle-aged man, slightly thin, with slicked back hair, meticulously combed, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, cloth shoes, and black-rimmed glasses.
Although the dress is very simple, there is a hint of so-called calmness and elegance in his movements and speech, which is a bit like the old English butler, the old Shanghai style.
Comrade Xiao Du explained his purpose of visit very directly.
On a blind date, the other party is a talented girl majoring in Chinese in the north. I want to buy some original English books, or vinyl records, which are the favorites of young literary girls.
Master Yu chuckled.
Literary young woman is an interesting word, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it. Literary young woman is an interesting young man.
I led Comrade Xiao Du up to the second floor. The things on the second floor were obviously much better than those on the first floor. However, the counters and containers were still filled with unsightly second-hand goods, and some of the items that were OK were of poor quality.
For example, where Xiao Du is now, there is an old-fashioned Leica camera on the counter. It looks good, but the damage is obvious. The outer shell is cracked. I don't know if it can still be used. It's very useless.
At this time, Master Yu picked up a small cardboard box from the small warehouse at the back and placed it on the counter.
"This camera is just a product. It can take pictures, but if you want a good exposure, I'll help you pay attention to it."
"Master Yu, I just gave you a casual hug. We really don't have that talent in photography."
