After dealing with the compliments from everyone in the kitchen, he came to Director Huang's office.
Director Huang felt a little displeased with him. After all, the original deputy director was his cousin, and now that He Yuzhu had pushed him out, he was naturally unhappy.
However, He Yuzhu was the popular person in front of Factory Director Yang after all. He did not dare to offend him. Knowing He Yuzhu's intention, he impatiently explained the purchasing process to him.
After understanding the process, I know that the most difficult step lies with Director Yang.
Fortunately, this is not a difficult task for him. After all, he was promoted by Director Yang, so it is easy to write a letter of introduction.
Once I got the letter of introduction, things became much easier and I went to the Finance Department to get the money.
I originally planned to borrow a car, but driving in this era is a technical job, and if he mastered it rashly, it would arouse others' suspicion, so it was better to ride a bicycle.
I changed into another set of clothes, including a white village shirt, leather shoes, a Mao suit, and a proper cadre uniform.
I was riding this 28-year-old bicycle on the street. When the breeze blew, I pedaled hard a few times. I felt a little happy when I saw the bus eating dirt behind my bicycle.
A man's happiness is sometimes that simple.
When I came to the grain and oil store, I first bought five kilograms of white flour and two kilograms of sugar, and then bought a dozen sesame seed cakes. The last time I went there, I only remembered to bring gifts to my wife, but I forgot about the gifts from her home.
So this time He Yuzhu came here specifically to buy good gifts that fit this era.
He handed the money and tickets to the salesperson. Seeing that he bought a lot, the salesperson asked him specifically if he was going to get a wife.
When He Yuzhu told her that he was just going to have a look and that it was still early for him to marry a wife, the salesperson looked at him with a confused look, and there was also envy in the confusion.
He Yuzhu didn't care what she thought, he just took out a sesame seed cake and started eating it.
The good thing about this time is that one sesame seed cake is counted as two liang, not two liang that is weighed after it is made. It is made according to the specifications of the two liang before being made.
Although they are sesame cakes, they are not sweet, salty, or spiced in later generations. At this time, oil and sugar were still very precious.
It is a pancake that is baked directly in the oven after the dough is fermented.
But at this time, pesticides were not used on anything. The aroma of the sesame cakes was unmatched by later generations, and they tasted pretty good.
Of course, this is only relative. With his cooking skills, he can beat this taste even without using an oven.
After riding on a rugged path, I saw the first peach tree.
The first thing today was to go shopping, so I didn't go to Qin Jingru's house.
Public affairs are public and private affairs are private. If you don't finish the public affairs, you will feel uneasy when doing private affairs.
According to what Qin Jingru said last time, he came to the village chief's house.
I knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a child. At this time, adults should be busy in the fields, and it was normal for there to be only children at home.
The children were a little nervous when they saw He Yuzhu dressed as a cadre, but they were not afraid.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for the mayor of this village."
"Are you looking for my grandpa?"
"Yes, can you take me to your grandfather?"
He took out the unused fruit candy from his body and said, "I found it, this is yours."
The child looked at the candy, curiosity and desire in his eyes, and nodded.
…
As the village chief of Qinjiazhuang, Qin Dazhu frowned and showed a trace of sadness as he watched the villagers working together in the fields.
The commune secretary has talked to him several times. Other villages are "launching satellites." Let alone launching satellites, their village may not even be able to pay this year's public grain.
His village is neither big nor small, with more than a hundred households, and the entire village is basically filled with relatives.
Almost all the fields in the village are of low quality and the yield is not high. The public grain paid every year is just enough to feed the people.
If it weren't for the fact that there are still a few peach trees that support people every year, their village might have disappeared a few years ago.
There are no special collective industries in the village. There is no hope of "launching satellites". It is only right to find a way to pay this year's public grain first.
Except for the second daughter of the Qin family who is living a good life after marrying a city man, other families in the village are still in dire straits.
The children in the village all wear the leftover clothes of the older ones, and their clothes are patched.
Some children even have no clothes at all, and when they are two or three years old, they are still running around the village wearing a little bellyband.
Qin Dazhu looked at his second-in-law Qin Wu again. Although he knew how to work recently, his reputation was still not good. If he wanted to find a girl to get married, he would probably need a lot of gift money.
No, Qin Dazhu really had no choice but to ask his wife to go back to her natal village to find a wife for his second son.
I thought my natal village was far away and I didn't know the situation here.
In her mother's village, she managed to find the second daughter of the third child of the Liu family for her. They met once and both felt good about it.
But there is no wall in the world that is not ventilated. People will find out when they come here to inquire. Now the third son of the Liu family said that if he wants to marry their Xing'er, he must pay a bride price of five yuan.
I will let this matter go for now.
In fact, the third youngest of the Liu family has nothing to do. He also has many sons, but if this daughter gets married, it will be difficult to support the family, so if he doesn't ask for more money, several of his sons will be single.
"Grandpa, grandpa."
At this moment, his grandson's shout came.
He saw his grandson walking towards him with a burly man.
As soon as this burly man came over, he immediately attracted the villagers working in the fields.
The burly man was pushing a bicycle and wearing leather shoes. At first glance, he looked like a cadre, a young cadre at that.
He Yuzhu had appeared in the village many times. It was impossible to hide things in such a big village, so Qin Dazhu knew him.
"Isn't this the son-in-law of Qin Lao's fifth family? I heard that his reputation is not very good, he is a bit stupid, and he doesn't know anything about the daughter of Qin Lao's second family."
Qin Dazhu frowned and thought, wondering why He Yuzhu came to him.
After giving him the candy promised to the child, He Yuzhu took out cigarettes from his pocket and took out one when he saw that Qin Dazhu had not gone to the fields.
Qin Dazhu hesitated for a moment, then took it and asked: "Why did you come to see me today?"
"I am now the deputy director of the canteen in the factory, responsible for food procurement. Although the supply and marketing cooperative has enough food, workers in the factory cannot see meat, so I came to buy some eggs, game and the like."
He Yuzhu got straight to the point, told him his purpose, and then took out the letter of introduction given to him by Director Yang.
Qin Dazhu basically believed it after seeing the letter of introduction. Now that He Yuzhu was such a big official and brought such good things, he hurriedly took He Yuzhu to his home.
Qin Wu in the field saw He Yuzhu at a glance and hurriedly followed him.
After all, Zhang San boasted so much about the boss last time that he was very interested in the boss.
