Chapter 152: Visitor
In the next few days, Hou Dalin's life was very clean. On the side of the courtyard, except for the stupid pillar who came to look for Qin Bafeng a few times, the rest was an uncle.
He came over to help the second master come over to make peace, but in fact, he came to probe Hou Dalin's tone.
Then he Hou Dalin's few words scared the deaf old lady a lot. This was her biggest secret, a secret she thought no one knew.
But it just so happened that Hou Dalin knew this secret, and it was through the summary of various information in his past and present lives that he finally knew this kind of secret in this courtyard. But he didn't plan to use this to put people to death, the other party is the little people who live honestly, although he has a little bit of a mind to see people, but then again, who doesn't have such a mind?
"Dalin, what did you mean by those words that day? Why did the old lady shout that she had a headache after hearing this, and this problem has not been solved until now. ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, you go back and reassure the old lady, whether it's Chen Cuihua or Chen Cuizhen, I don't care. It's good that everyone's well water doesn't interfere with the river water, so you don't have to worry too much about the old lady. ”
Hou Dalin's words made Uncle Yi even more uncomfortable. This feeling of being pinched by someone, he knows it too well, for so many years, he is living so aggrieved because of this.
"That's okay, I'll bring this to the old lady, Dalin, the old lady is this age, no matter what she has said or done, let's let it pass, I think, when people make mistakes, let's let the old lady start and finish well."
"Uncle Yi, you don't have to talk to me, I said it, I'm not interested in this kind of thing, let's not interfere with the river water in the future, and take care of their own lives, so it's good, what do you say?"
"Yes, yes, you are a cadre, or do you have a heart and a level." The first uncle nodded, said such a flattering word, and then said: "But Dalin, the matter of the second uncle, can't you think of a way for him?" He finally became such an official, and this time he was handed off, I think the second uncle is a little unbearable. ”
"Uncle Yi, I heard you right, right? Do you really want me to help reinstate him? What's in it for you, for this yard? What's in it for me? Why would I do such a thankless task? Besides, he lost his position, what does it matter to me? I didn't let him jerk it off, what can I do? He came to me to worship the wrong temple gate. ”
"Hehe, right or wrong, it's all the second uncle's own thoughts, I am a loyal person, and when the word arrives to you, I will be able to give the second uncle an errand." The first uncle returned to his smiling appearance, if you want to say that the second uncle lost his position, there must be one of the happiest people. The second uncle asked the first uncle to help find Hou Dalin to make a statement, which is the biggest trick.
This is the typical Sotonon! The first uncle really wants to do things for the second uncle, and he will never tell Hou Dalin so dryly, let alone talk about the old lady first, and then talk about the second uncle.
Hou Dalin doesn't care about this, anyway, everything is Director Li's handiwork, what is his business?
After sending off the first uncle, Hou Dalin continued to drink tea in the repair shop and was busy. It's almost the time of the Chinese New Year, and there is more work in the repair shop than usual. The bicycle refurbishment business, in particular, has been getting better and better lately.
Now selling old bicycles or something, Zhang Fang has come forward. This year, there is no need to bargain at all, write a number with a piece of paper, and paste it on the old bicycle, and those who want to buy it will weigh the money in their pockets, and if it is appropriate, they will ride it and make a circle, and they will pay if there is no problem.
When Hou Dalin was busy with his work, Zhao Yali suddenly ran over.
Zhang Fang frowned when she saw Zhao Yali, but Zhao Yali walked straight to Hou Dalin's side as if she hadn't seen it.
"Da Lin, I have something to do with you."
Hou Dalin raised his head and looked at Zhao Yali's expression, knowing that it was about that incident.
"Zhang Fang, keep an eye on it, I'll go back." Hou Dalin put the things in hand together, then stood up and prepared to go out.
"Dalin, pay attention, don't be deceived." Zhang Fang instructed behind Hou Dalin, and then turned his attention to Zhao Yali.
Zhao Yali smiled, but just threw a very strange look at Zhang Fang, which was mixed with pity, pity, and even sympathy.
Out of the repair shop, Hou Dalin asked Zhao Yali: "What's the matter, it's someone again this time?" ”
"Well, it's my father's assistant from the past, and this person can be trusted."
"Oh, that's okay, what does this guy do now?"
"He seems to be in charge of foreign trade now. I don't know exactly which department it is. ”
Hou Dalin stopped, glanced at Zhao Yali, and then continued to walk forward.
Walking into the scrapyard, I came to Zhao Yali's room, where the person was sitting at the table. Although he is wearing a Mao suit, he gives people a very "foreign" feeling between his gestures.
Hou Dalin didn't like this person very much at first sight, but this is a deal, not a friend, it doesn't matter if you like it or not.
"You must be Stationmaster Hou, right? Fortunately, the surname of the contemptible person is Qian, and he is called Qian Donglai. ”
This name is a good hand at doing business at first hearing.
"Hello, I heard that you have a way to send Zhao Yali out?" Hou Dalin didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Well, yes." Qian Dong came to see Hou Dalin and said this, so he didn't need to have the process of greeting him.
"How are you going to go?"
"Stationmaster Hou, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, why are you asking this?" Qian Donglai asked with a pair of small eyes, staring at Hou Dalin deadly.
"Didn't Zhao Yali tell you? I want to go along, too! ”
While Hou Dalin spoke, he also turned his head to look at Zhao Yali.
"Stationmaster Hou, you don't have to look at her, she told me. But this kind of thing is not something she can do, the point is, you can't go. ”
"Oh? Reason. ”
"You don't have any money! If you want to go out, you have to have US dollars, you have to pay for the boat, you have to pay for the captain or something, you have to use US dollars, can you take this out? ”
"How much do the two tickets cost?"
"Two thousand dollars a piece!"
"You're not kidding? Are you sure it's $2,000 a piece? "Hou Dalin is still very surprised by this price, this is too expensive!
You know, the average national income in the United States in those years is only about $3,000 per family, and two tickets need to be more than the combined annual income of a family.
"Of course, I didn't set the price. Stationmaster Hou, it's not so easy to go abroad, it takes money, a lot of money, and it has to be foreign money! I would venture to ask, do you have any dollars? ”
Listening to this person's words, Hou Dalin was so uncomfortable! What he is thinking about now is actually the question of whether to buy two tickets or one!
Zhao Yali must be clear about this matter, maybe when she gets over there, she still needs Zhao Yali's help. If you only buy one ticket, then how to explain the appearance of Xiao Jiu at that time?
So even though it's expensive, he'll probably need to buy two tickets too.
But don't rush yet, you need to know more information.
"Mr. Qian, can I know what kind of ship this is? Ship what? How do we live on ships? What kind of treatment is there? ”
"You bought the tickets, you lived in the crew quarters, and you ate with the crew. When disembarking, you need to get into the container so that you can safely enter the customs of the United States. ”
"Wait, I have a situation here, I'm going to take my wife with me, she's a sick person, she is unconscious, she even has to use a catheter to eat, and she has incontinence, can she get on the boat in this case?"
"You're kidding, aren't you? What are you doing over there in this case? Qian Donglai was very surprised, and said in his heart that it was all like this, what is the difference between it and a dead man? Why do you spend so much money smuggling like this? Isn't that a waste?
"You don't care about this, just ask if it's okay!"
"You don't have to ask, it's definitely not going to work. However, if this is the case, if you want to leave, you can only live in a container, not a staff dormitory. ”
"Can I have a separate container?"
"Yes, but you have to pay more!"
Damn, it's so dark! But you have to endure the darkness! Hou Dalin had no other way to go there.
"How much do you need?"
"Stationmaster Hou, don't ask how much you need, do you have any dollars? If not, it's useless for you to ask so much. Qian Donglai is a little suspicious of Hou Dalin's ability to pay, don't talk about it for a long time, this person can't afford to pay for it, and he wastes his feelings.
"Hehe, I don't have dollars, but I have gold."
"It's okay to have gold. How many do you have? ”
"You don't care how much I have, I'll scrape together enough money for the ticket anyway."
"I have to see if you really have it, Stationmaster Hou, it's not that I don't believe you, this is the rule, I'm not sure you have the ability to pay, I can't say too much, please understand."
Hou Dalin hesitated, but still went to his house, and when he came back, he had a small wooden box in his hand.
The box was opened, and there were ten large yellow croakers inside.
Qian Donglai was not polite, he took each one in his hand and checked it to the side to confirm that there was no problem, and then pushed the box to Hou Dalin again.
"Stationmaster Hou, I really didn't expect you to have such a thick family background." Qian Donglai confirmed that Hou Dalin was a "rich man", and his attitude was different.
"Okay, that's enough money to pay for the boat, right? Tell me what I should do best in this situation. ”
"Stationmaster Hou, your money is enough for you to buy a small container by yourself. There are mattresses and some living facilities, which are very suitable for your situation. ”
"Oh? And this kind of service? Hou Dalin was really an eye-opener, it was the first time he had heard that he could be smuggled like this.
