Chapter 2136: Having an elder in a family is like having a treasure
a new day
The situation abroad is in complete chaos, even though Beijing has not yet established diplomatic relations with them. However, the radio still broadcast lengthy reports on this sudden event… as for the reason, nobody knows.
After Lin Chen turned off the radio, he called Guo Da Piezi to the backyard because Jia Zhangshi had given him another surprise last night.
Lin Chen now needed to give Guo Da Piezi a heads-up, since the original plan had gone awry. Lin Chen intended to make the best of a bad situation and give Comrade Li Huaide some perks.
"Old Guo, what did you say to Jia Zhangshi yesterday?"
Guo Da Piezi was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had said something wrong. So he recounted his conversation with Jia Zhangshi the previous evening to Lin Chen in detail...
"Brother Lin, is there anything wrong with what you're doing? When Jia Zhangshi heard that she would be given five yuan after completing the task, she was stunned!"
Lin Chen thought to himself, "This is really bad. Now this woman misunderstands you as Guo the pimp! You two are really something, even talking face-to-face can lead to a misunderstanding."
"I see. You shouldn't leave work early with Li Huaide today. Let the two of them talk alone..."
Guo Da Piezi was supposed to have a task today: to formally introduce Jia Zhangshi and Li Huaide. But now that Jia Zhangshi has misunderstood so badly, it's no longer appropriate for Guo Da Piezi to show up…
Li Huaide was always full of cunning schemes, so Secretary Lin sent him another old treasure. After all, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!
"Hey, I'll figure out a way to get Jia Zhangshi's detailed address later. I'll just make up an excuse not to go there..."
Li Huaide and Jia Zhangshi had met several times, but they weren't close. Even without Guo Dapizi accompanying them, they would know each other, so Lin Chen wasn't worried that Jia Zhangshi would mistake him for someone else.
"Go!"
Lin Chen didn't need to explain to Guo Da Piezi at all; Guo's 90% loyalty was unquestionable. As long as Secretary Lin didn't kill his parents, Guo wouldn't betray him.
Now we can just let him carry it out, but we can't do that to the other people in the courtyard.
Guo Da Piezi only knew that Lin Chen's background and power were unimaginable, but he still didn't know how many people in the Lin family were loyal to him.
Aside from the 100% loyal subordinates sent by the system, Lin Chen wouldn't let anyone know how many wives he had. Anyone who insisted on finding out could, but Lin Chen would definitely kill whoever did.
Next door
Old Master Wang got off the kang (heated brick bed) early today to wash up. He's going to go to the pharmacy and local shops to find the ingredients according to the prescription.
The old man doesn't want to waste a single day, so he got up very early.
"Dapeng, don't prepare breakfast. Let's go eat fried liver and drink soy milk. You've been in Beijing for more than half a year now! You must learn to drink soy milk properly, otherwise you won't be a true Beijinger."
When Ma Banjie heard that he was going to drink soy milk again, he immediately felt resistant.
"Eighth Master, just two steamed buns will do. I don't want to be a Beijing local; I'm from Nanjing and I really can't get used to that kind of drink. Sha Zhu and the others don't drink it..."
Mentioning Sha Zhu and Wang Ba Ye makes me angry; they were the ones who ripped my crotch.
"That's why they're so dishonest! Once I recover, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."
Now that Master Wang needs the other party to take him to buy medicinal herbs, he doesn't force him to drink soy milk with him.
The old man was cursing inwardly, after all, he wasn't from Beijing himself. But he had no choice but to infiltrate Beijing for the sake of the mission.
"Alright, alright, let's get going. Let's try to collect everything in one day. I'm so fed up with this miserable life where we never see the light of day."
The gate of the courtyard
Liu Haizhong and his group left for work in a large group, only to run into several neighbors from across the street as soon as they stepped out.
"Old Song, aren't you guys going to work today? What are you all doing with those ropes?"
The people in courtyard number 72 are now busy moving, and naturally they are looking for hemp rope to tie up their belongings.
Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong were quite efficient, settling these dozen or so households in just two days. Moreover, the people were all happy to move, and Lin Chen was very satisfied with the two young women's mediation skills.
"Old Liu, you've come at just the right time. Could we borrow your handcart? We're moving in the next couple of days... so we took a day off. We'll try to finish moving in two days since tomorrow is Sunday."
We were all residents of the same alley, and before moving to the city, we were childhood friends from the same village. How could they just move away like that?
"No problem, feel free to take whatever you need. By the way, where are you moving to?"
Old Song and the others didn't hide anything and told the people in the courtyard about the address they were going to move to.
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Haizhong and his group went to work amidst their chatter. The fact that their neighbors across the street had moved didn't affect them at all.
"Since some people have moved out, surely others will move in! The question now is, who will move in?"
"Who knows? The logistics department must have other plans! Let's go, let's stop dawdling, we're going to be late!"
Soon Liao Yimei, Li Jingya, and Song Yanzi rode their bicycles past these people.
After a brief greeting...
Li Dabao watched his younger sister ride her bicycle to work and felt genuinely envious.
Because nowadays, if a young man has a bicycle, he can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort when it comes to picking up girls.
"Brother Tiger, you don't even ride your bicycle. How about you sell it to me for eighty yuan?"
Since Ma Lan stopped going to work, her bicycle has been sitting idle at home. To avoid drawing attention to herself, Jia Dongxu still walks to work with everyone else... After all, his master always walks, and he wants to share his master's joys and sorrows.
Although Jia Dongxu spoke with great righteousness, he was actually mainly afraid of being robbed by the people of Jiudaowanzi.
"Get lost! It's so hard to buy a bicycle these days. You can't buy one even if you have the money, without a ticket. Why would we sell it? Do you think we're stupid? Eighty yuan is barely enough to buy one ticket!"
The ticket system has been in place for two years, and people are now used to carrying tickets when they go out.
Although Jia Dongxu's bicycle is six years old, it is still a treasure of the Jia family. Jia Dongxu wipes it clean and applies oil to maintain it every few days.
Nowadays, young men in Beijing are said to need three turns and one sound (referring to a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and a watch) to get married, though these are only isolated cases. However, the saying has already spread, and a bicycle is definitely considered a major purchase.
"Da Bao, do you have eighty yuan to buy one? Second-hand ones aren't cheap either. You'd better just come with us! Even Yang Laosan, an eighth-grade worker, hasn't bought one yet. What's the rush for you, a fourth-grade worker?"
Although Li Dabao has no relationship with Zhang Duoduo now, the young man still wants to find a wife! How can he compare to Yang Laosan...?
"You little brat, you look down on your brother Da Bao, don't you? I saved up eighty yuan in two months by living frugally. You try it and see if you can do it."
The Li family is doing very well now, with only their third child in high school. Little Wenya is already being groomed by Secretary Lin; Li Dabao wasn't exaggerating. He truly has the ability…
The two young people were bickering, unaware that their sister was their best friend.
