Chapter 117: Using Lei Laoliu (both orders add 10 updates)
After a while, Qin Huairu returned home with a large bag of cotton in her arms.
As soon as she entered the house, Ms. Jia Zhang was startled and said, "Hey, where did you get so much cotton?"
Qin Huairu put the cotton bag on the table and said, "No, Xiao Du asked me to help him make a small mattress to make it softer."
Mrs. Jia Zhang untied the cloth bag, and the snow-white cotton inside immediately bulged out. She couldn't help complaining, "This prodigal boy, such good cotton is used to make a mattress! It would be great if Bang Gang could make a new cotton coat and cotton trousers."
Qin Huairu immediately said, "Mom, please don't be so mean. Xiao Du lets Banggeng help raise chickens and gives us four eggs a month, which is only more than one yuan!"
Jia Zhang defended, "Hey~ I don't know that the water will flow forever? I just think that such good cotton is a pity!"
Qin Huairu turned over the sewing machine and got ready to work, and said, "What's the pity? Du is so capable! Yesterday I said I was going to buy cotton, so I'm going to bring these back today."
Mrs. Jia Zhang was speechless secretly.
Not to mention how much the cotton is worth, the cotton coupons alone are difficult to obtain.
Who can make a cotton-padded jacket without difficulty and save enough cotton coupons?
Not to mention the bedding, basically you can't change a quilt in ten or twenty years.
Mrs. Jia Zhang has always been curious in her heart and couldn't help but ask, "Huai Ru, you said... is it really so profitable to go to the streets to do work?"
Qin Huairu adjusted the sewing machine and snorted, "Mom, don't be ridiculous. There are people working in the street office in our alley. Who do you think can have Xiao Du's ability? It doesn't matter where you work. It just doesn't matter where you work."
Let me tell you this, if Xiao Du doesn't go to the street office, he will be just as successful working in our factory."
Mrs. Jia Zhang narrowed her eyes and heard something in Qin Huairu's words, so she hurriedly asked, "Huairu, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Huairu lowered her head and pressed the cloth onto the sewing machine. She pedaled and said, "Mom, don't ask. You... are not strict with your mouth, and it is easy to cause bad things if word spreads."
Mrs. Jia Zhang curled her lips, a little unhappy, but she was more curious in her heart, what did her daughter-in-law mean?
Qin Huairu said again, "Anyway, you know well that Xiao Du is very capable! As long as our boss can borrow a little money, he won't have to worry about finding a job and marrying a wife in the future."
Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't help but widen her eyes, and hurriedly came over and said, "Huai Ru! Look at you, why are you still hiding it from your mother? Tell me, and I promise not to spread it!"
Qin Huairu curled her lips and thought to herself, "Humph, let you know that Xiao Du knows Deputy Factory Director Li, and the news will spread in the courtyard tomorrow."
Qin Huairu stopped the sewing machine and said, "Mom, I don't know you yet? Do you believe what you say?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang blushed and became a little angry.
Qin Huairu thought to herself, "Now, our family is getting along well with Xiao Du, but we can't let people dislike us."
Mrs. Jia Zhang chewed her teeth and saw that her daughter-in-law was determined not to reveal a word to her, so she had to do the next best thing and said insinuatingly, "You think, Xiaodu, at such a young age, is really that powerful?"
Qin Huairu said, "It doesn't matter whether you are powerful or not. Anyway, we orphans and widows cannot afford to offend you."
At this moment, Banggan ran in excitedly from outside, with the sleeves of his cotton-padded jacket rolled up and a rusty broken kitchen knife in his hand, shouting, "Mom, the chicken and vegetables are ready."
When Mrs. Jia Zhang saw her eldest grandson's little hands turned red from cold, she felt distressed and said, "My dear grandson! Hurry up and take a rest in the house."
But Banggeng straightened his back and said, "It's okay! Grandma, Uncle Du said, I'm a man, what does this mean?"
Qin Huairu on the side couldn't help rolling her eyes and said to her, my silly son, I'm just trying to trick you!
At the same time, at Du Fei's house.
Du Fei was half lying on the Arhat bed, holding the newly bought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in one hand and playing with Xiao Wu's big fluffy tail with the other hand, but his mind was not on this.
After Qin Huairu left just now, Du Fei flipped through a few pages of the book and still couldn't calm down.
The name 'Zhang Qiwen' always lingers in my mind, as well as the young man I saw following Mr. Wei at Wei Duzi's house that day.
But when we introduced him that day, this person’s surname was also Zhang!
Are there any connection between these two people...
At this time, Xiaowu suddenly made a "meow" sound!
Du Fei was so absorbed in thinking that he didn't notice that the strength in his hand was a little too strong.
Although Xiaowu's physique was much stronger than that of ordinary domestic cats, Du Fei's strength was even more extraordinary. He pinched Xiaowu painfully without paying attention.
This sound also woke up Du Fei. He quickly let go of Xiaowu's tail and gently scratched its chin with his hand, finally calming the cat down.
At the same time, Du Fei also had an idea in his mind.
Instead of just thinking about it at home, it's better to take action.
If you have any doubts, go check it out.
It would be best if that young man really had contact with Zhang Qiwen. If found out, it would not be related, and it would be a worry.
However, Jiang Donglai's side was already short of manpower, and Du Fei didn't want to put more pressure on Jiang Donglai just because of his random ideas.
After much thought, Du Fei decided to leave this matter to Lei Laoliu.
Although at the beginning, Section Chief Qian told Du Fei to guard against Lei Laoliu.
But after the contact during the house repair period, Lei Lao Liu left a good impression on Du Fei, he was very measured and knew how to advance and retreat.
The most important thing is that Lei Laoliu is quite wild and has some tricks.
Regardless of the past or present, there is no coward among those who can work as a contractor.
Especially after learning about Mr. Wei's background, I also thought about Wei Duzi working under Lei Laoliu.
It is conceivable that Lei Laoliu was never as obedient in front of others as he was in front of Du Fei.
However, Du Fei's identity and background made him jealous, even fearful, and he did not dare to cross the border even half a step.
Officially, Du Fei relied on Chen Zhongyuan's endorsement and had Jiang Donglai at his disposal.
But in the final analysis, Jiang Donglai was not his subordinate, and the two of them just had a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.
Therefore, Du Fei decided to use Lei Laoliu this time.
In addition to not wanting to involve Jiang Donglai's energy, I also wanted to see what kind of quality Lei Laoliu was and that he was not worthy of much use.
After making up his mind, Du Fei glanced at the wall clock. It was already past four in the afternoon.
He stood up suddenly, put on his clothes, went out and rode his bicycle, and went straight to Lei Laoliu's house.
Not long after, I arrived at the yard where Lei Laoliu lived. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lei Laoliu's wife washing clothes at the door.
"Sister, where is Lao Lei at home?" Du Fei pushed the car and walked over.
When Xiaocui looked up and saw Du Fei, she immediately laughed and said, "Oh, Leader Du, you are here!"
As he said that, he stood up and wiped his hands with his apron, and flew Du into the room and said, "Master, don't pretend to be dead like that, Leader Du is here."
Then he explained to Du Fei, "At noon, I was asked to go out and drink a few mouthfuls of cat urine, and then I came back and slept all afternoon."
Du Fei smiled and walked into the house, where he saw Lei Laoliu, tightly dressed, coming down from the attic of his house.
