Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 654 Helpless Xu Damao
"This is milk powder, from the Modu Guangming brand."

Looking at the round iron bucket on the table, Xu Damao couldn't help swallowing. Just such a small can cost him 50 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary worker. My heart aches!
Xu Damao looked at the milk powder, and then at Wang Weidong: "Brother Hong Chang, can you open it and let me have a look, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I haven't seen what milk powder looks like yet."

Obviously I can't believe it!Wang Weidong knew that Xu Damao was suspicious by nature, so he didn't bother with him too much. He picked up a screwdriver and knocked off the lid of the milk powder bucket.

Seeing that there was indeed yellow milk powder inside, Xu Damao felt relieved. He stretched out his hand and thought of dipping it in, but was slapped by Wang Weidong.

"What are you doing! Although we have a good relationship, friendship is friendship and business is business. If you want to try it, you have to pay for it first."

Xu Damao put down his hands awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Brother Hong Chang, how can I not believe in your stuff, I was a little greedy just now, and I couldn't hold it back for a while."

As he said that, he took out a handful of money from his pocket and patted it in his hand: "How about it, Da Mao is not short of money."

Wang Weidong's expression softened a lot, and he took out several buckets of milk powder from the bag and placed them on the table.

"Here are five cans of milk powder. The total cost is 250 yuan. The rest of the beef and mutton will take a while to get to you. You know how scarce the supplies are now. If it weren't for the fact that we are friends In addition, because of the good face of that girl Qin Jingru, I will not take the risk of doing these things for you."

Xu Damao looked at those cans of milk powder, and his heart was full of joy. Qin Jingru has not been eating well for a while, and even Xu Damao's carefully cooked chicken stew, after Qin Jingru finished eating, would spit it all out.

In less than a week, Qin Jingru lost a lot of weight, and Xu Damao was anxiously waiting for this batch of milk powder to save his life.

"Brother Hong Chang, I will be satisfied if I can get these milk powders. Don't worry about the beef and mutton. This is 50 yuan and [-] yuan. You take it first."

Xu Damao was afraid that Wang Weidong would sit on the ground and raise the price, so before Wang Weidong stood up, he stuffed the money into Wang Weidong's hand, picked up the milk powder bucket, and ran away in a hurry.

Wang Weidong didn't make much money from this business.

The milk powder is purchased directly from the milk powder factory without going through a supply and marketing cooperative. The ex-factory price is 50 yuan a barrel, and it sells for 200 yuan a barrel. Five barrels of milk powder earn more than [-] yuan, which is comparable to Huang Yanling's half-year salary. .

Thinking of Huang Yanling, Wang Weidong remembered the stick. He picked up the phone and dialed the number of Huang Yanling's office.

Huang Yanling, who was on the other side of the phone, was extremely excited when she heard that it was Wang Weidong, but there seemed to be other colleagues beside her, so she could only show restraint.

"Cousin, are you back from a business trip?"

"Yeah, by the way, is your project finished?"

"It's finished. The leaders of the ministries and commissions are very satisfied and specially rewarded me with ten yuan."

"Then congratulations, is your former boyfriend still pestering you recently?"

"It's strange that you said sticky, I haven't seen him for a while."

Huang Yanling on the other side of the phone felt strange, and Wang Weidong on the other side of the phone was even more confused. According to his understanding of the stick, after being rejected by Huang Yanling, the stick will definitely retaliate against Huang Yanling and herself because of love. The best way is to catch the two of them and report themselves to the superiors.

but.

After leaving the capital for so many days, Bang Geng no longer followed Huang Yanling, which made Wang Weidong more vigilant.

An enemy hiding in the dark is far more terrifying than an enemy standing in the open.

After putting down the phone, Wang Weidong found Liu Changyi by phone.

When Liu Changyi heard that Wang Weidong asked him to inquire about a person named Bang Geng, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't say anything, nodded and went out to make arrangements.

"Bang, what are you going to do?" Wang Weidong sat on the chair with a puzzled face.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After Xu Damao returned to the courtyard with the milk powder, he carefully hid the milk powder in the cabinet, took out a can, then went into the back room, and woke up Qin Jingru who was sleeping.

"Jingru, Jingru, wake up."

Qin Jingru was sleeping soundly. After being woken up, she got up full of anger, sat up and twisted Xu Damao's ear and said, "Well, Xu Damao, you dare to delay my old lady's sleep. You are getting more and more courageous."

Xu Damao also has a bit of a temper. He once beat Qin Jingru violently because of Qin Jingru's fake pregnancy.

But now he can only raise his hands to beg for mercy: "Jingru, be gentle, my ears are going to be ripped off by you. I call you because I got milk powder."

"Milk powder?" Qin Jingru let go of his hand, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "That thing is so precious, where did you get it?"

"Don't worry about it, come on, let me make some milk powder for you to taste."

Xu Damao walked into the main room, and prepared a bowl of milk powder for Qin Jingru with warm water according to the method Wang Weidong explained.

Looking at the bright milk powder on the table, Qin Jingru already understood that Wang Weidong must be back, otherwise Xu Damao would have no way to get the milk powder.

Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Damao had already made the milk powder, and walked over with a bowl, smiling all over his face: "Come on, Jingru, try it quickly, this is a high-grade nutritional product, even the leader would not drink it arrive."

Qin Jingru took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Xu Damao swallowed greedily and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Is it good?"

"The taste is not bad, mainly because after drinking it, I don't feel sick." Qin Jingru laughed.

Seeing the smile on Qin Jingru's face, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly made up his mind that when he saw Wang Weidong next time, he had to ask Wang Weidong to bring a few more cans of milk powder.

A can of milk powder is 50 yuan, although it is a sky-high price, but for the sake of the child in Qin Jingru's stomach and the incense of the old Xu's family, Xu Damao can't care less about it.

Watching Xu Damao stick out his tongue and lick the powdered milk on the porcelain bowl, Qin Jingru smiled disdainfully.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and her face became strange.

"Da Mao, did you get beaten by Sha Zhu a few days ago?"

"It's not a big deal. I originally wanted to make a fool of myself, but who knew he would pretend to be crazy, and beat me up instead. Later, I found the street office, and the leader of the street office couldn't do anything about it."

Mentioning this incident, Xu Damao became furious. In the past two years, with Wang Weidong backing him, Xu Damao had never suffered such a big loss in the courtyard. This time he was lucky.

Qin Jingru smiled and said: "The reason why Shazhu was able to pretend to be crazy is because you have no way to prove that Shazhu is pretending to be crazy. But the uncle can, the uncle is the director of the factory, and he is familiar with people in the capital, maybe he knows mental illness. Comrade in the courtyard, Shazhu is chattering in our courtyard all day, maybe we can take this opportunity to send him in."

"Hey, Jingru, other lesbians will become stupid when they get pregnant, but you have become smarter since you got pregnant." Xu Damao thought about it carefully. thumb.

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Virtuous, glib all day long, nothing serious, since you know what to do, why don't you go!"

"Order!"

Xu Damao saluted Qin Jingru and walked out of the room quickly.

As soon as he went out, he was punched by Silly Zhu who had been lying in ambush. Xu Damao grinned in pain: "Silly, wait, I will never let you go this time."

Silly Zhu laughed twice, and looked at Xu Damao contemptuously: "Xu Damao, Xu Damao, I'm a mental patient now, even if I kill you with a knife, I won't squat on the fence."

Silly Zhu's heart was full of admiration for Yi Zhonghai, this old man was like a thousand-year-old fox, he gave him two tricks casually, and Xu Damao was beaten again and again.

Don't tell me, the current silly Zhu thinks that being Yi Zhonghai's son is pretty good, he has food and drink, and if he is bullied, he can still help him get back.

As for Qin Huairu, although she is pretty, she can't be eaten by being pretty.

Also, it seems that Banggen has started to be dishonest recently, maybe he will fall into the pit again, it is best not to get involved with Qin Huairu at this time.

Xu Damao clutched the painful area, struggled to stand up, and instead of talking to Shazhu, he rode his bicycle directly to the Lanhua Automobile Factory.

When he received the call from the gatekeeper, Wang Weidong was a little confused for a while.

He just met Xu Damao just now, why is Xu Damao here again?
However, Wang Weidong still asked Mengang to bring Xu Damao in.

He wanted to see what happened to Xu Damao.

It's just that Xu Damao's first words almost made him fall off the chair.

"What, silly Zhu crazy?"

"Hey, he was pretending to be crazy, you don't know, I caught Shazhu a while ago"

After listening to Xu Damao's story about Shazhu, Wang Weidong couldn't help giving Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up in his heart.

just
Wang Weidong turned his head to look at Xu Damao: "Then why are you here today?"

"I went to the street office, and the comrades in the street office said that as long as it can be proved that Shazhu is pretending to be crazy, the street office can arrest him, but now there is only a mental hospital in Beijing, it doesn't matter, there is no way to arrest silly Pillar sent in, so I thought"

As Xu Damao said, he looked at Wang Weidong with pleading eyes.

Wang Weidong frowned, Xu Damao wanted to use his own hands to deal with Silly Zhu.

For this kind of dog-eat-dog incident, Wang Weidong never intervened, just stood by and watched the excitement.

However, Xu Damao is also related to Qin Jingru, if he is really beaten up by Sha Zhu, it will be troublesome.

In fact, in the courtyard, the most terrifying person is not Yi Zhonghai, a master of moral kidnapping. After all, as long as you are not moral, Yi Zhonghai can't kidnap you morally.

Nor is it Xu Damao, the sinister villain. As long as you don't offend Xu Damao, Xu Damao will not target you either.

The most terrifying thing is the silly column.

Silly Zhu is not stingy, relying on his kung fu skills, he spends all day messing around in the compound.

Even if you have nothing to do with him, God knows when he will get crazy and hit you from behind.

Thinking about this, Wang Weidong said with a smile: "Da Mao, I can understand your difficulties, but I have no acquaintances in the mental hospital, but I do know a person, his relative, who is a doctor in the mental hospital. You can go through him and give Shazhu an account there."

Seeing that Wang Weidong was unwilling to help, Xu Damao was already disappointed, but when he heard that he could introduce someone to a doctor in the mental hospital, Xu Damao suddenly regained his spirits.

"Brother Hong Chang, as long as you give me the name and address of that person, I promise to send Shazhu to a mental hospital."

Looking at the eager Xu Damao, Wang Weidong chuckled and wrote an address.

Three or ten minutes later, Xu Damao came to an alley in the suburbs of Beijing. According to the address on the manuscript, Xu Damao knocked on the third house.

It was an old lady in her fifties who opened the door. She bent her body and looked at Xu Damao curiously: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Liu Ercui, do you know her?"

"I am Liu Ercui, who are you?"

Xu Damao didn't expect Liu Ercui to be an old lady. After a moment of stunned, he quickly handed over the gift he brought.

"Old lady, I'm Xu Damao from the courtyard. Recently, a resident of our courtyard suddenly fell into insanity. I want to ask Dr. Liu to help send that resident to the hospital."

Liu Ercui's complexion improved when she saw the gift, but when she heard Xu Damao's request, she immediately turned cold.

"I don't know Dr. Liu, so let's go."

As she said that, she was about to close the door. Xu Damao quickly stretched out his arms to support the door frame, and explained with a smile: "Old lady, you can do it, my neighbor is so pitiful. His father has been with the little widow since he was a child." They ran away together, and now they are in their 30s and have not yet married, and they are suffering from insanity, chattering in the compound all day long, if the disease cannot be cured, his life will be ruined."

"You are an enthusiastic person, you can be so caring about your neighbor's affairs." Liu Ercui took a deep look at Xu Damao and said, "However, I can't guarantee that this matter will be done for you. The specific situation depends on the mental hospital." Are there any vacant beds?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, with your words, I feel relieved."

Xu Damao left the gift to Liu Ercui, and ran away in a hurry. He knew that these older people valued promises the most.

As long as she accepts the gift, she will definitely help out.

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Damao has been waiting for the people in the mental hospital.

Silly Zhu didn't know anything about it, and ran around in the courtyard with a stick as usual.Scaring children everywhere, scaring little girls.

It stands to reason that if such a person caused trouble in the courtyard, the residents should have arrested him long ago.

But Shazhu is not really crazy after all, he is very measured in his actions, he just scares those people, pretends to be crazy, and never really strikes.

After a long time, everyone knew that Sha Zhu was pretending to be crazy, so they didn't care too much, and even regarded it as a show after dinner.
