Chapter 18: The Most Important Thing Is to Be Neat and Tidy
"Lao Wu, you can buy it! If we buy it together, it can be cheaper by 100 yuan!"
In the cadre retreat center, more than a dozen old cadres who were interested in ordering coffins had become Li Xian's salesmen at this time. Actively do the ideological work of those who are too expensive, or who have no intention of buying.
"I don't buy it, I'm in good health, what should I do when I buy it? In the corner, an old man who was persuaded waved his hand again and again: "Besides, let's stay in the dry rest house, where can we put the things we buy?"
"Put it in the backyard! Go back and let the office clear out the place where the waste bricks are put in the backyard, isn't it just right to put the coffin? ”
The old man surnamed Wu became angry when he heard this, "I said Lao Zheng, you are also an old revolutionary." Think for yourself, put a coffin behind the dry rest house, is this like words?"
Lao Zheng, who usually likes to quarrel with Old Man Wu the most, is unusual, and said with a warm face: "Old Wu, I can criticize you now." Didn't you listen to what the little comrade just said, at which stage a person has to think about that stage. You say I'm almost seventy years old, what's wrong with preparing the coffin? What's so much like talking? You're still not open-minded enough. ”
Lao Wu's arms fluttered together and put it down suddenly, "Is this a matter of being open-minded or not?" Lao Zheng, don't you think I don't know what you're thinking, don't you just want to save that hundred yuan? I'll tell you, don't go online with me, I don't care about you!"
"Hey, you stubborn old man, I can tell you. Lao Liu, Lao Xu and Lao Jin, they are all going to buy it, and now there are exactly nineteen people who want to order, and you are one of them. Because you let the big guy spend more money, do you think it's okay? You think about it, if you offend us, no one will play chess and poker with you in the future. ”
Faced with Lao Zheng's threat, Lao Wu was stunned - no one to play with him is a big problem.
But when his stubborn temper came up, he was unwilling to give in: "If you don't play with me, I'll go and play with Xiaoyezi!"
"Ren Xiaoyezi is about to be assigned to work in the bureau, who will have time to take care of you then?"
Facing Lao Zheng's black belly, Lao Wu's face was flushed, and after a while, he hesitated: "Then I buy one?"
Lao Zheng hehe, "Buy! Five hundred yuan to prepare a good home for yourself, how damn it is worth? Let's buy it together, and put it together neatly, isn't it? Come on, come on, give me the money, and I'll register it for you." When the time comes, the young man will come and settle together. ”
Lao Wu secretly sighed, returned to his room and took out the money from under the bed, and handed it to Lao Zheng in a chattering manner.
didn't think about it, Lao Zheng took the money and ran directly to another room: "Lao Liu, Lao Jin, Lao Xu, Lao Wu Ke have all paid the money." Now there are seventeen people, and I will send you all ......."
……
When Li Xian and Li Pi slowly returned to the retreat center, they saw more than 20 veteran cadres standing in front of the tricycle looking forward to it.
When he saw himself coming, he gathered around.
An old man with silver hair rushed in front of him with a thud and shoved a list into his hand: "The young man is optimistic, there are twenty-three in all." You have to give us a group price, right?"
Although Li Xian expected that this industry would have a little gain, he sold twenty-three coffins in one go, which greatly exceeded his expectations!
"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll give you a price of five hundred mouthfuls!" he held the list and was shocked to see the dense names written in large characters on it.
Sure enough, the money of the elderly is really easy to earn!
He kind of understands why there are so many scammers who sell health care products specifically for the elderly in later generations, and they can make millions of dollars after a sales meeting.
That's a big buying power!
"But boy, we can't give you all the money. What if you take the money and run away?"
Li Xian was holding Peng Dan and was waiting to collect the money, but the old man was suspicious just now.
But come to think of it, the old man's worries are also justified.
Li Xian took out his ID card and student ID, "Uncle, you are optimistic." Put this thing here and press it, when will the first coffin be sent to you, when will I draw it back, will it?"
At this time, the ID card was still the kind of hot-pressed plastic sheet like the driver's license of later generations. Li Xian's student ID card of the Forestry Technical School is directly handwritten, but the steel seal of the Forestry Technical School on it cannot be forged.
Seeing the documents, the old man said unexpectedly: "Yo, I can't see it, you are still a student at the Forestry Technical School?"
At this moment, a person walked out of the crowd, and it was the grandfather of the Zhiye girl.
The old man took the student ID card and went to look for a major at first glance, and after seeing the professional column clearly, he looked at Li Xian again and said, "You studied gardening?"
Li Xian nodded.
When he saw the name on the student ID, the old man's brows frowned tightly: "Your name is Li Xian?"
"Oh, that's right. Li Xian looked at the old man's face and wondered a little in his heart - is it possible, the old man knows himself?
"Good boy, I finally get it. ”
The old man closed his student ID, and his simple face, which was originally like an old farmer, looked extremely powerful at this moment.
"The two articles on the staff newspaper and the forest worker newspaper are signed by Li Xian, and the walnut peel that Zhiye bought that day was sent by you. When I read the newspaper at the time, I felt that there must be something strange about the two articles echoing each other from afar, but now that they are linked, I can understand it;
Others don't know that if you follow Li Xian's habit, you will never pay attention to the author's signature when reading newspapers. Even if he did, he wouldn't remember.
The other party's memory and meticulousness made him feel a little surprised.
He hurriedly explained: "Walnut peel is originally medicinal value, but no one paid attention to it before. I'm just not letting the pearl be dusted, how can this be called a game?"
"Flim tongue!" the old man snorted coldly, "You don't make Mingzhu dusty? You are agitating and propagating, causing panic among the public, and then speculating! If this had been put twenty years ago, it would not have been too much to shoot you!"
As soon as he heard this, Li Xian didn't panic.
Facing the majesty of the old man, he smiled: "Old man, but now he is not twenty years ago, is he?"
The old man stared at Li Xian for a long time, and finally was relieved, "You kid, Xueyuan has succumbed to you." ”
The old man's sudden exertion just now made all the old people around him quiet down.
Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Lao Zheng finally spoke: "Okay, Lao Wang, you, the director of the bureau have stepped down." Leave it alone. ”
After speaking, he slapped a thick envelope into Li Xian's hand: "Boy, this is five thousand seven hundred and five, we will hand you half of it, and then pay you the rest when you send the coffin." Okay, right?"
Looking at the money, Li Xian smiled: "No problem!"
Lao Zheng paid the money and couldn't help but imagine the future: "Obediently, waiting for more than 20 coffins to be placed in the dry rest house is a fucking wonder in the Forestry Bureau." ”
