After returning to Tianjin for three days, Xu Yunjian, Cao Xun and Li Tiehan set off to the north to deal with the purchase of mutton in the northeast again; Although Lu Li stayed in Tian (Tianjin), he couldn't get a moment of rest, and when he came back from the train station, he first went to the Public Security and Peace Bureau, and found Yang Dinghong, "Brother Hong, give me the key to the jeep." ”

"You've got it, right? I'm cao, you forgot the last time? It smells of mutton in my car, good guy, I put it for half a month, and the smell can't get rid of it, and I borrow it? Don't borrow, don't borrow! Ay? What are you carrying in your hand, Moutai? Good boy, I've known you for so long, and my brother hasn't drunk your Moutai, no, it's okay to use the car today, you have to exchange the wine! ”

Lu Li was too familiar with him, so he ignored him at all, opened the drawer and took out the car keys, "You little comrade, how can the old comrade take it if you don't borrow it?" What is the nature of your problem, huh? Don't forget, this is at the Public Security Bureau, not your home. Hey, what about you? ”

Lu Li waved his arm to block him and put the key away, Yang Dinghong really beat him, and rolled his eyes angrily, "Xiao Zhou, Xiao Li, come here, arrest this daring kid who actually went to the public security bureau to steal, and give him a back torture!" ”

Zhou Haoxin and Li Xiaoping were coaxing for a while, but they didn't come to help, Lu Li ignored him at all, turned around and said: "Brother Hong, the meat on my side has been sold almost recently, and when Xu Yunjian and them come back and catch up with you when you are not so busy, call a few brothers in the team, let's go downstairs and have a good drink." ”

"It's okay to drink it, you have to drink Moutai."

"Brother Hong, what you say is the law, isn't it Moutai, you want to drink, I can take care of it, how about it?"

"Good boy. Did you say that? How many brothers, did you hear it? Yang Dinghong laughed for a moment, stopped joking, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "But it may not be possible recently." ”

"What's wrong?"

"There's a document on it. There are too many educated youths who have returned to the city in the city, and about 70% of them are unemployed, swaying all day long. It's all an unstable factor. It is a negative factor for social order. Forget it, you don't understand this. Anyway, I'm afraid we're going to be busy again. ”

Lu Li originally wanted to take the key and leave, but he was not in a hurry at this time, "Brother Hong, Heping is in the center of the city, shouldn't it?" ”

"How not? Don't you know, just last month, there was a case on Xing'an Street -- this case is not over yet, but don't spread it everywhere -- a group of educated youths and another gang got into a fight. Five of them still work in the factory, and when they got off work, one of them carried a spatula, just to help the original educated youth companions fight, and they all went in! Tell me, is it that easy to find a job? Now not only can I not keep my job, but even my future is ruined! ”

Luley frowned deeply, "That." What to do? ”

"What else can I do? The pass of the pass, the judgment of the judging. Yang Dinghong said: "Hey. Xiaoxiao, this side of Binjiang Road is the administrative area of Binjiang Road, and if there is trouble, our side is also unlucky. You're a bit influential among these merchants, but you have to control these people? Especially these people who are with you, you have to promise me. Nothing will happen to them. ”

"Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, Li Tiehan and a few of them, my words still work."

"If you're sure."

"That's it. Let's go. ”

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, I said seriously, don't make the car smelly, we don't want to be happy."

"When you first ate lamb skewers, I didn't see him taste like it."

Yang Dinghong laughed, raised his foot and kicked, "Get out of yours." ”

Lu Li and Li Xiaoping waved a few times, turned around and went downstairs. Start the car in the compound of the sub-bureau, drive all the way out of Binjiang Road, directly opposite is Zhang Qing, Li Xueqing and Song Jianhua are running the mutton stall, you can see through the car window, and fifteen or sixteen people began to wait in line, this is not counting, in front of the thirteen small square tables on the side of the road, there are three or four guests sitting around, it can be seen that the business is quite good. "Hey, Xiaoxiao," someone knew him and greeted him kindly, "good guy, who is this going to arrest the car that drove the bureau?" ”

"Eat yours, mutton can't stop your mouth?" Lu Li parked the car, greeted the customer with a smile, and walked to Li Xueqing's side, "How is today?" ”

"I've just started practicing, this thing looks quite simple, but it's not so easy to learn, you have to master the heat of raw and cooked, otherwise, the good meat skewers will be bad."

"Practice hard with Zhang Qing, no problem. Zhang Qing, come here, I'll have a few words with you. He called Zhang Qing aside and said to him: "I have to go to Hedong in the afternoon, Yaohua and Anti-Xiu have to go and have a look, and I won't come back in the evening." You stare at the stall. ”

"I didn't say it, I'm used to doing these things."

Lu Li took out an envelope and handed it to him, "I have already given Erdanzi such an envelope." It's the same extra month's salary, and I collected it myself. ”

"Tiny, this ...... Too much, right? ”

Lu Li smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "The business is mine, who does it well or badly, I know best in my heart, in the past few days that I have been gone, you have to be busy with business on the side, and you have to take the second egg to learn things, which is much harder than him." What's more, I've seen all the accounts these days, and you've written them, haven't you? ”

"Yes."

"That's right, I've looked at the accounts, I've done it properly, it's clear at a glance, and from this point on, it's worth taking the money. But again, if one day you can't do this, don't blame me for being rude, understand? ”

"Understand, little brother, don't worry, I will behave and do it innocently."

Luli bared his teeth, "That's it, let's go." ”

Driving straight to Hedong District, first to the Hedong branch of the People's Bank of China where Luo Yaohua works, but he is not on duty today, ask his colleagues, a man serving at the counter pouted disdainfully, did not answer first, but asked like a prisoner: "What are you looking for him, who are you?" ”

"I was his classmate who went to the mountains and went to the countryside back then, and I haven't seen him for a long time, so I came to see him and talk to him by the way."

The man looked him up and down a few times and snorted, "He's not here now." Don't know when I'll be back. ”

Lu Li's intuition told him that this guy and Luo Yaohua were not on good terms, but for what reason he didn't know, he turned around and left, and stood still, "This comrade." You see, Yaohua and I are very good friends, and you are his colleague, if he does something wrong, and you are not very good at opening your mouth to say it, just tell me, and I will persuade him when I go back? If it's really what he did wrong, I'll ask him to apologize to you, okay? ”

"The people are the leaders now. What could be done wrong? Even if there is, it's my turn? What am I doing? ”

Lu Li immediately understood that Luo Yaohua might have been promoted a little in the unit, and the position was above this man, which caused strong dissatisfaction from the other party! In this case, there is no need to persuade him anymore, he smiled, nodded to the other party, and turned to go out.

Drive to Hedong Fumin Food Factory. found Lin Antixiu on duty in the substation room, this guy still looked frizzy. Haha laughed and pounced, "Long time no see!" I heard Zhang Qing say, you went to Yangcheng? How did you go for so many days? When did you come back? ”

"A few days ago, wasn't it, I came to see you and Yaohua, yes. I just asked at the bank, listening to what their colleague meant, he seems to have been promoted? ”

"Isn't it, last month, shortly after you left. Their grandmother was sick, and I ran with him for several days, running back and forth from Hedong to the general hospital, I was really tired, I followed the busy work for a few days, and then came back. Later, I heard from his parents that he had not been at home for more than a week, and was all in the hospital to help take care of the elderly. ”

"So, what about the result?"

"As a result, the old man still didn't keep - no way, he was too old! However, after this incident, their president's attitude towards Yaohua was different, I heard that he recognized him as his godson, and he was recently promoted to group leader. ”

"I can imagine it. Speaking of which, this is also what he paid for with labor and sweat. By the way, he's not here, do you know where he went? ”

"I think I was trained by the city. Yaohua is very busy now, although the unit is studying part-time, but as soon as he goes to class, he still has to go to night school in the evening, and even his parents can't see him a few times a week, so he goes home every day to eat, and runs away as soon as he comes back from class in the evening, and when he comes back from class in the evening, the old couple sleeps, and when he gets up early the next day, he goes to work again. ”

"I said that in exchange for a lifetime of glory in four or five years, the first step has already gone out in Yew Wah." Luli was very satisfied with the current situation of his old friend, and asked, "What about you?" How are you now? ”

"I'm still like that, isn't it, going to work every day, nothing new. However, I heard that our unit is going to open another refrigeration plant in Nankai Tiantuo, do you know where it is? ”

Lu Li pondered for a moment, knowing the general direction, but not so clearly, "What's the matter, where are you going?" ”

"I listen to our leader's meaning, maybe let me go, but I'm too far away - good guy, I live in Hedong, go south to work, toss on the road every day, besides, there's nothing over there, why are you going there? Isn't it more convenient to be close to home? Lin Yanxiu said: "Xiaoxiao, you have a good brain, help me think about it, is it better to go over there, or stay here?" ”

"This matter, you keep an eye on it, if there is any new situation, tell me as soon as possible, I will go back and ponder it for you, and then we will discuss it together."

"Okay. I'll listen to you when I get back. ”

Lu Li said: "Are you Zhao Tou'er here? I want to go see him. ”

"Yes, yes, the heads are upstairs, will you go by yourself or will I take you?"

"I'll go myself." Waving goodbye to Lin Antixiu, Lu Li went straight to the office building with two travel bags, knocked on the door of the factory director's office, and saw Director Zhao, "Xiao Lu? Oops, you're ...... What wind blows you here? Come, come in and sit, come in and sit. ”

"Brother Zhao, Brother Liu, Brother Ma," Lu Li smiled sweetly, greeted them one by one, and sat down on the electroplating chair, Director Zhao turned the fan around, the wind speed was adjusted to the maximum, and in the wind whirring, he sat opposite him, "I heard Xiaolin say, you went to Yangcheng?" How's that over there? ”

"It's all good, in fact, it's not only Yangcheng, I also went to Hong Kong along the way. Come, Brother Zhao, I brought back from Hong Kong to light a cigarette, you know, I don't smoke, you keep it to taste, go back to the factory to come to peers and customers, you can use this entertainment. ”

Director Zhao watched in amazement as he took out a few cigarettes from his travel bag. They are all foreign brands, and they don't know a word, "This is called Marlboro, this is called Jianpai, and this is the best to recognize, so it's called Sanwu." The first two are American cigarettes. Sango is a British brand. I asked my friends, and they said that the biggest feature of these cigarettes is that they are stronger than our domestic cigarettes, and I don't understand this thing, can you try it? ”

"This ......" Director Zhao laughed, "Come on, Xiao Lu is not an outsider, let's taste the cigarette rolls of this foreigner." ”

Lighting the cigarette, Lao Zhao took a deep puff. Choked slightly, "Don't say it, cough!" It's really bigger than Mo Ju and the like, but Xiao Lu, these cigarettes, let's keep two boxes each, and you can take the rest back, I heard Xiao Lin say. You've met a lot of people and made a lot of friends. These smoke ...... If you don't smoke it, don't your buddies have to keep it too? ”

"Speaking of friends, Brother Zhao, aren't you, Secretary Liu, and Director Ma also my friends? Besides, a few of my friends also came back from Hong Kong with me. They brought a lot of these cigarettes back, and you kept them for smoking, and didn't say anything. ”

"So, you're welcome?"

"You shouldn't have been polite to me in the first place."

Director Zhao laughed and took a few unopened cigarettes. Tummed into his desk, "Xiao Lu, are you okay today?" Brother has a treat, how about drinking together tonight? ”

"It's no problem to drink, I still have Moutai with me, and I won't get drunk tonight. However, I'm here today to ask my three brothers for help. ”

"What's the matter, you say?"

"It's still a matter of cold storage. I asked a few of my friends to go to the Northeast, and it may take less than a few days for the mutton to reach the South Railway Station, and then I have to borrow your unit's car for it, and then pull it directly to the cold storage. ”

"In a word, I didn't say it! You can use it directly to find Lao Ma, Lao Ma, Xiao Lu is a sincere child, you have to keep an eye on this matter. ”

Lao Ma took the half-sucked Marlboro in his mouth, picked up a health card and pinned it to his ear, and picked up three or five cigarettes and pinned it to the other ear, and said vaguely: "No problem, no problem, Xiao Lu will speak if he has something." ”

Lu Li nodded and smiled, and had a little calculation in his heart, "Don't go to the restaurant today, Brother Zhao, you promised me that you would invite me to eat the three fresh stuffed dumplings made by my sister-in-law, right?" ”

"It's not okay today, this matter, Xiao Lu, it's not my brother who refutes your face, you have to book it in advance, I'll let the house prepare in advance, let's get into the mold, okay?"

"Okay, why not." Lu Li said: "Brother Zhao, let's go, oh, I forgot to say, I came by car, wait a while to take my car to the restaurant, I will send you home in the evening, but I will go to work tomorrow, I don't care?" ”

Lao Zhao laughed, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it, let's also taste what it's like to take a car!" ”

*****************************************************

After eating a meal until more than eleven o'clock, the waiter in the restaurant looked at these lingering guys with white eyes: It's really annoying, it's really ignorant, I don't know if you don't leave, and we can't leave?

Lao Zhao and Secretary Liu both drank too much, and went to the toilet twice to vomit, but it was the old horse, he didn't drink much, and he didn't drink much, in comparison, the addiction to smoking was too big, from the time he sat down, he didn't leave his mouth, and finally smoked his Yonghong, and smoked Lao Zhao's ink chrysanthemum, and when it was gone, he began to grind the factory director again, "Lao Zhao, bring me a three-five, our cigarettes are boring, smoking and not smoking are about the same, or that three-five is good, one top several." ”

Lao Zhao was annoying and helpless, so he had to give him foreign cigarettes, Lao Ma was smart, took out his empty cigarette box, and stuffed it into it one by one, looking at his appearance, he wanted to take it back to taste and satisfy his hunger slowly.

Luli saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart. He is not afraid that the other party will have such and such hobbies, on the contrary, people like Deputy Director Ma are more to his appetite, "Brother Ma, I always call you Brother Ma, I don't know what you call him?" ”

"My name is Ma Zeng."

"Then I'll call you Brother Qiang in the future, okay?"

"Okay, why not?" Lu Li asked the names of the other two, one was Zhao Chaohui and the other was Liu Xueming.

At the end of the banquet, Lu Li settled the account in advance, and Ma Zengqiang respectively helped the two guys who couldn't walk to get into the car, lit the fire, the headlights were bright, illuminating the darkness in front, Lu Li looked back, the two of them twisted their bodies, lay on the back seat, and snored heavily, "Brother Qiang, you know the road, who to send first?" ”

"Lao Liu lives closer, let's send him first, turn out from here, turn to the next intersection, and you will arrive at their house."

"It's not that far, indeed." Luli casually agreed and started the car.

When Liu Wenming and Zhao Chaohui were all sent home, facing the complaints and thanks of the two families, Lu Li and Ma Qiang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, said a few polite words, and sat back in the car, but Lu Li was not in a hurry to drive, but took out an envelope from his arms, "Brother Qiang, this ...... It's a little bit of my heart, and you take it. ”

"Xiao Lu, what are you doing here? A few of us are a few years older than you, and we treat you as friends, and you ...... Take it back, take it back! ”

"Brother Qiang, it's not that I'm polite to you, don't mention anything else, just say what I asked your three eldest brothers to ask for this time, you treat me as a friend, and you patted your chest and agreed to what I said, what about the people below? Moreover, Brother Qiang, I won't hide it from you, this is only the first step, in the future, the mutton will really be transported to the library, and there are so many people in the unit, so I can't let the big guy be busy with my affairs at that time? This little heart, you take it first, and wait until the future, you introduce it to me, and we will have to deal with it in the future. What do you say? ”

Ma Zengqiang smiled and nodded, "Good boy, you can really talk!" Come on, this matter, when my brother's chest patted and assured you that if you need to use cold storage in the future, my brother will give you all a word. ”

Lu Li smiled, and took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, "Brother Qiang, this cigarette is also for you, let's say okay, this is only for you - maybe less, and wait for the future, wait for me to bring more cigarettes from Yangcheng, and give you more." ”

"Okay, after that day, my brother will be waiting for you."

Luli smiled and started the car. (To be continued......)
