Chapter 121 The village party secretary who does practical things
On the way back to the hotel, Lin Xuanzhen also told him why he was so fond of Wu Bin because he was taken care of by the Wu family when he was young. Although he taught Wu Bin martial arts, he also belonged to the martial arts friends.
Because he was older than Wu Bin, when the two of them practiced martial arts in the early years, he also took care of Wu Bin. All in all, even if Lin Xuanzhen is almost a round older than Wu Bin, the two get along with each other, and they are still no different from friends.
If it weren't for that, Lin Xuanzhen would not have taken the initiative to ask Xu Zhengdao to give him two bottles of wine. Moreover, a martial artist who is really the same age as Lin Xuanzhen has either passed away, or he can't find anyone at all and doesn't know where he went.
Although I rented the hutong earlier, I can still see some old people and peers who I had dealt with when I was young. But Lin Xuanzhen at that time also grew up eating hundreds of meals. Later, he was adopted by his mentor so that he was spared the pain of starvation.
Listening to Uncle Shi tell these past events, Xu Zhengdao also sighed with emotion: "Uncle Shi, I didn't expect you to be so bitter when you were a child. ”
"Well, it's nothing. In that era, there were more people who were more bitter than your uncle and me! In the year of war, it is lucky to be able to pick up a life. It's a blessing to be alive until now. You're also in a good time! ”
It is said that the hardships of being born in the 60s and 70s are hard, but for those born in the Republic of China, the days must be even harder. And people in the 80s and 90s also felt that they worked hard, but they couldn't feel the suffering of their parents.
When the two returned to the hotel, the manager on duty also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Taking the opportunity, Lin Xuanzhen also said in a timely manner: "Manager Chen, I heard that the hotel can help exchange foreign exchange coupons, right?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Lin is in need?"
"Hmmm! As you know, I just came here yesterday, and I went out for a walk today, not to mention that there have been quite a lot of changes in many places. Fortunately, after some inquiry, I really found a few friends I knew when I was young. But I don't have any cash in my hand.
Tomorrow I'm going to go shopping for some merchandise and give some gifts to friends I haven't seen in a long time. In addition, the morning after tomorrow, can you ask the hotel to help arrange a car, I want to send a junior's family rolls, to the airport to take a plane. ”
"This is also how it should be, if you have a car, it will be ready for you early the day after tomorrow!"
"Then I'm bothering you! Speaking of which, I am also an old Kyoto, but I went to Xiangjiang to make a living in my early years. Seeing that the motherland has changed so much, it seems that we will come back often in the future. Ah Zheng, how many foreign exchange coupons do you think is appropriate? ”
"Let's exchange it for a thousand first! Manager Chen, by the way, if you want to exchange foreign exchange coupons, you can also exchange them when you go to China, right? ”
"Yes! The foreign exchange voucher of our hotel is provided by China Bank. ”
"Uncle, exchange a thousand first, and go to the mall tomorrow to have a look. If you don't have enough money, we'll exchange it then. ”
"Well, then a thousand!"
He took out ten hundred-dollar bills from his body, and the hotel manager also looked very happy. Compared with the exchange of Hong Kong coins, the demand for American knives in China is higher. The more foreign exchange the hotel receives, the more likely it is to be praised and affirmed by the leaders.
According to the exchange rate provided by the bank, Xu Zhengdao also received several thousand foreign exchange coupons. With these vouchers, you will be able to shop at the Friendship Shop, which is only open to foreign guests. In this kind of special store, if you don't have a foreign exchange coupon, you really can't buy anything.
Another night passed, and they still had breakfast at the hotel, and the teachers and nephews who went out quickly acted separately. In addition to foreign exchange coupons, Xu Zhengdao also gave Uncle Shi a lot of cash. If you need to buy something, there must be no problem.
As for Xu Zhengdao himself, he went to Qian Chuanlin's house and gave him the promised foreign exchange coupons. The old man was finally not polite, and happily took it. It's almost the New Year, and he also plans to buy some New Year's goods for juniors.
Compared with previous years, this year he has a daughter who plans to go home to spend the New Year with him. Don't look at him without a son, but the two daughters are very filial, and the son-in-law he is looking for sees that his old father-in-law is free from illness and disaster, and often helps them, so he is naturally enthusiastic about him.
All in all, with these foreign exchange coupons, presumably his two sons-in-law will also look up to him. In these days, unless there are overseas relations or relatives, ordinary people really can't buy this kind of foreign exchange coupons that require foreign currency exchange.
After sending the money and chatting again, Xu Zhengdao continued to ride to the village. When he returned to the village, he happened to see the second-hand small boilers he had found, as well as a lot of radiators that Sun Dazhuang had specially asked the leaders to help and bought.
It doesn't take much time to install this. Considering that the boiler is installed outside, it is not easy to manage in normal times, and after seeing Xu Zhengdao come back, Sun Dazhuang also asked if he could install the boiler directly in his home.
Thinking that after the New Year, he rarely returned to this home, Xu Zhengdao also said happily: "Cheng! However, open the door directly from the outside, so that after I am not at home, the person in charge of the boiler can come in at any time. You tell me? ”
"Done! I guess you should be away from home from time to time in the future. It's not good to come in from your yard every day. ”
"That's nothing! I don't have anything of value in my house. But those old furniture, I asked someone to buy them back. In two days, I'll have someone come and pull it away. It just so happened that I also bought a house in the city, and I was short of furniture. ”
"Alas, Ah Zheng, will you come back later?"
"Uncle Sun, what's wrong? Are you going to drive me away? I haven't moved my hukou, but the house and land are still mine! ”
"That's for sure! It's yours, and no one can take it. Whoever wants to have an opinion, pass me first. ”
With Xu Zhengdao's approval, the installation of boilers and management is more convenient. It's just that Sun Dazhuang and the village cadres know that the greenhouse was originally built by Xu Zhengdao, and now they are tearing down people's walls as boiler rooms.
But at this time, it is not suitable to build a house at all. Besides, building a separate house for the boiler is still somewhat wasteful. It just so happened that Xu Zhengdao's room was empty, and it was appropriate to vacate one as a boiler room.
Of course, this is also Xu Zhengdao's easy to speak, and if he is a villager who is not good at talking, he will definitely not agree. Even if they agree, they will definitely ask for some compensation. can be replaced by Xu Zhengdao, naturally there will not be so much trouble.
But the village cadres in charge of this matter all know that they must also help in the future when it comes to Xu Zhengdao. Otherwise, if the matter gets out, others will poke their backbones and say that they are bullying honest people.
Although when he heard Sun Dazhuang's proposal, Xu Zhengdao felt a little uncomfortable. It can be imagined that he built a greenhouse in the hope of finding a way for the villagers to get rich. And in this courtyard, he will live less and less time in the future.
Vacating a room for a boiler room is actually nothing. If you are too careful, you will be too tired. Besides, Sun Dazhuang did this out of public intentions, so why didn't he support it?
may know that he is a little sorry for Xu Zhengdao, he didn't eat in the village yesterday, and he was also forcibly dragged to his house by Sun Dazhuang for a meal. said words of apology and thanks, which made Xu Zhengdao a little crying and laughing.
However, it must be admitted that it is indeed a blessing for the villagers to have such a village party secretary in Kangmin Village who is willing to do practical things for the villagers. As a member of the village, isn't it natural to give support to the best of your ability?
