Su Jing said: "I'm really embarrassed, Boss Li, I forgot about the fireworks with you." ”

Li Lin greeted him with a smile, picked up the fireworks on the Eight Immortals table and handed them over, "Blame me, I forgot to remind you when I was nervous just now." ”

"Nervous what? We are not man-eating tigers. Su Jing put Hongtashan in his pocket and showed Li Lin his iron-shelled kerosene lighter.

"This thing is not valuable, the key is that this lighter was a souvenir given to me by the old company commander when I was discharged from the army, so I was cheeky to ask for it."

"Oh, that has to be well kept, the courtesy is light and affectionate."

Li Lin accompanied him to lie, and said in his heart Don't tell me about the old company commander, even if you say that this is given to you by the Jade Emperor, I will believe it 100%.

After a few words of greeting, Li Lin sent Su Jing away, and Su Jing gave Li Lin a Hongta Mountain, lit a fire and started to get down to business.

Su Jing said: "Boss Li, go to Su Laotong's house in Nanmazhuang tomorrow and take away his family's thousands of catties of grain." ”

Li Lin agreed, saying, "I may go later, I have to go to the Health Bureau in the morning to apply for a health permit and health certificate." ”

Su Jing thought for a while and said, "Today is the 8th, and you go to the epidemic prevention station to find me on the 11th." Su Laotong's parents left early, and he grew up eating his sister-in-law's milk. ”

Li Lin took a pen and said: "Help me ask Grandma Su if she sells wheat, my tractor can load 4 tons of goods, and you can save fuel money by pulling more goods on a trip." ”

Walking out of the gate of the cotton and linen factory, Su Jing took the initiative to shake hands with Li Lin and say goodbye, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

Li Lin is also in a good mood, and he should be able to pay 1,000 yuan less when he goes to the epidemic prevention station to pay the fine after pulling the goods.

Extinguish the cigarette and go back to the warehouse, arrange Duan Lei and Duan Daqing to guard the house, and ride a bicycle to Matou Village.

Matou Village is in the west of the Yellow Building, 9 miles away from Han Village, Li Lin's bicycle is a phoenix big bar, the road is also a potholed dirt road, it took half an hour to ride to the entrance of the village.

Dong Biao was waiting at the entrance of the village, and saw Li Lin hurriedly catching up, "When the goods are loaded, I will pay for it, and Brother Xitong is watching the car at Huang Jie's house." ”

Li Lin said: "Get in the car, I'll take you over." ”

Dong Biao shook his head and said, "I'll take you, you must be tired of riding a long way." ”

Li Lin stopped talking nonsense, moved his butt back and sat in the back seat, and Dong Biao got in the car and took him to Huang Jie's house.

There was a Chang'an van patrol car parked in front of Huang Jie's house, and Huang Jie and Du Liping were all in the yard, and Li Lin checked the pound and paid directly.

On June 8, 1996, Matou Village, Daonan Township, purchased 1,840 catties of Huangjie wheat, with a unit price of 0.35 yuan and a total of 644 yuan.

Huang Jie and his wife were very happy, and they held Li Lin and did not let them go, so that the brothers could stay and drink.

Li Lin politely declined by not drinking and driving, people were just polite, and it was a sand sculpture to really stay and eat.

At about half past seven o'clock in the night, when the wheat cart returned to the warehouse, Bi Kun also returned from Lijia Village and brought back a message from Li Dajun.

Bi Kun said: "Li Dajun asked you to go back to Lamai, and he said that he could pay on credit for 3 days, but you had to go back and promise him." ”

Li Lin hummed and said, "Let's eat first." ”

The brothers went to the warehouse to wash their hands and eat, and after eating, Li Lin arranged work, left Dong Biao and Duan Lei to look after the house, and took Xitong, Duan Daqing, and Bi Kun back to Lijia Village to pull goods.

The tractor left the factory overnight, and Xitong drove Li Lin to sit next to him, lighting a cigarette and feeling a little melancholy.

The danger factor of going out at night is very high, and Li Lin doesn't want to go out at night, but unfortunately the pressure on the schedule is too great.

It is now early June, only 5 months away from the National Day price increase, to complete the small goal of 300 tons, an average of about 2 tons per day, the pressure is too great.

A cool breeze came, Li Lin couldn't help but hold his hands on his chest, there was a chance that a cold wind would rain heavily in summer.

Han Pingliang's squad was still on duty at the Sunzhuang checkpoint, and the team members who intercepted the car were too lazy to take care of Li Lin, and when they saw Li Lin's car, they turned around and left.

When he came to the village chief's house, Li Dajun had a sad face.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Your face is so ugly? Am I not welcome? ”

"Well, not because of you." Li Dajun lowered his voice, "My unfilial son listened to his daughter-in-law's instigation, and he was angry with me just now. ”

Li Lin was not interested in listening to his parents' shortcomings, so he smiled and lit a cigarette for himself.

Li Dajun said: "The wheat in our village has not been confiscated, and I don't accept Li Guobing's father-in-law's family, and he quarrels with me." ”

Li Lin was casually perfunctory, Hu Ling asked Li Lin to go to her mother's house to pull wheat five times before, but Li Lin made excuses and politely refused.

Hu Ling was unwilling to blow the wind on her husband's pillow, so Li Guobing asked his father for trouble, and he was angry and didn't help his father carry wheat into the house, a true father and son.

It just so happened that Li Dajun's daughter-in-law returned to her parents' house, and he was notoriously domineering and instigated, and he didn't give a cigarette when he asked for help, so the villagers didn't help him.

It will rain very quickly, and the wheat will return to the rain when it rains, and Li Dajun can't afford to carry 55 bags of wheat to the house alone, so he can only pinch his nose and agree to Li Lin's credit.

Li Dajun said: "Erlin, you give a promise, I only believe your words." ”

Li Lin said: "I use my reputation to vouch for the settlement before June 12. ”

Li Dajun said: "Okay, let's weigh it." ”

Xitong took Bi Kun Duan Daqing to load the car, and Li Lin and Li Dajun recorded and checked the weight.

Li Lin is very happy, there is a first time and a second time for such a thing as credit, and you can boil frogs in warm water on credit.

This time I promised to pay for 3 days, next time I promised to pay for 6 days, and next time I promised to pay for a month.

As long as he can use the money to pinch Li Dajun, he will have a way to knock on the bone and suck the marrow.

45 bags of wheat were loaded into the car, and the gate was a little low, so Li Lin asked Xitong to drive the tractor outside the gate and carry the last 10 bags of wheat to the door and load the truck.

Li Lin said: "This car is 6,600 catties, plus 4,800 catties at noon, a total of 5.7 tons. ”

Li Da pressed the calculator and said: "3 cents a catty, 5.7 tons of goods totaling 3,420 yuan, let's both remember, you settle the account for me in three days." ”

"Don't worry about money, I do what I say." Li Lin shook the ballpoint pen and said: "You have to work harder, the big boss's opinion is very big, just because we are too slow to receive the goods." ”

Li Dajun said: "Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, the goods are not a problem." ”

Li Lin said: "I am under pressure from the big boss, and when I can't stand it, we will break up." ”

Li Dajun held his head high and promised: "Don't worry, Erlin, there will never be that day." ”

There was a loud bang, a thunderclap resounded through the sky, and Li Dajun's embarrassed old face turned red.

Xitong Bi Kun hurriedly carried the plastic sheet to the outside, wrapped the wheat cart with Duan Daqing, and then twined it with hemp rope.

Li Lin said: "You sell umbrellas in the store, get me 6 raincoats and 6 umbrellas." ”

Li Dajun opened the door and entered the commissary, only finding 3 raincoats and 1 umbrella, "That's all, it's all Heaven Umbrella brand, you give 20 yuan." ”

Li Lin paid for the raincoat to Xitong, "You put on and leave quickly, I'll ride with you." ”

The brother didn't talk nonsense, put on a raincoat and drove away, Li Lin passed by the Huang family's commissary and found that it was closed.

As soon as he left the village, there was another thunderstorm, and the wind was significantly stronger, so Li Lin pedaled his bicycle hard.

Ten minutes later, a flash of lightning and a bean-sized raindrop fell from the sky, and Li Lin's umbrella was almost blown away by the wind.

The tractor stopped, Xitong got out of the car and shouted: "Brother, go home, such a strong wind can't hold the umbrella, let Daqing ride with the car." ”

Li Lin gave the bicycle to Daqing, and also shouted: "Be careful on the road, go to Sunzhuang and let Han Pingliang drive with you." ”

Xitong shouted again: "It's big, you go to Yuqi Middle School to hide from the rain." ”
