Chapter three hundred and seventy-seven: also dead, a dead cat

Huang Han looked at Xiao Qiang and smiled to himself, could it be done differently? I'll throw the parachute and let Xiao Qiang run downstairs to pick it up for me. Will she do it?

I'm afraid I can't do it. If I really lose my parachute and go down, I'm afraid there will be one or two hundred children practicing martial arts with Xi Wen vying to pick it up. This honor will probably be monopolized by Qian Aiguo, and no one will dare to snatch it from him, unless Cheng Wenge is willing.

.

Huang Han didn't know that Chengwenge and his son were having a heart-to-heart talk at this time!

After Cheng Shengli acted as the deputy manager of the intermodal transportation company, he carried out a series of reforms. The intermodal transportation company's benefits doubled, and employees' benefits and bonuses increased.

During the summer vacation, three or five families in the dormitory area of ​​the joint transport company bought TV sets. It may also be because Cheng Shengli's status is completely different now, so fewer and fewer people go to his house to watch TV.

After Cheng Wenge got back the color TV, Cheng's mother was very confused because if she replaced it with a large color TV at home, she might not be able to take off her clothes all night long.

They knew that their son now loved to study, and listened to Huang Han's words and refused to watch TV. They even regretted buying a TV set too early.

Therefore, after the TV arrived home, I only tried it and then sealed it and left it in the room.

Cheng Shengli had an idea in his mind, but he didn't want to make his own decision, because Huang Han helped his son earn back the large color TV set.

On the evening of September 1st, I saw Cheng Wenge entering the courtyard humming a foreign song. Cheng Shengli said:

"My Wenge is not simple! You can already sing this song like 'It's a waste to kill a cat if you die too stupidly'."

"Haha..." Cheng Wenge almost burst out laughing. "Dad, please don't say the English song title, please say it in Mandarin. This song is called "Yesterday Again"."

Cheng Shengli was also happy and said: "Anyway, you sing this song very well!"

"It's still far behind! I want to learn to be no worse than the original singer!"

"I believe you can do it! Wen Ge, I want to discuss something with you."

"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you still discussing things with me?" At this moment, Cheng Wenge felt very surprised.

"You have grown up, become sensible, and are getting smarter and smarter. Of course, dad must listen to your opinion!"

"I, I, what's that idiom, yes, I'm flattered, I'm a little flattered!"

"Yeah! The idiom is used well. Wenge, you don't watch much TV. Do you think having two TVs at home is a waste?"

"I have long thought that I should sell one! There are too many people who want to buy a TV but can't!"

"I think so too. Not only do I want to sell the TV, but I also want to return the favor!"

"I do not understand!"

"That's right, the intermodal transportation company is under the control of the Transportation Bureau, did you know that?"

"I know!"

"My work has been going smoothly during this period, which is inseparable from the strong support of Director Zhu, the head of the Transportation Bureau. I want to sell the color TV to him."

"Okay! I know where to buy large color TVs without TV tickets. If my family wants to buy one, I can go there next year or the year after next summer!"

"You agreed!"

"I agree! It's just a pity that you don't have a big color TV to watch!"

"I'm so busy, how can I have time to watch TV? You have to study hard and you don't have time. Your mother is in charge of logistics and often works overtime now."

"I don't watch much TV anyway, as long as you don't feel sorry for me."

"It doesn't matter to us. Wasn't life the same without TV before? Then it's decided!"

"Yeah!"

In the evening, with his son's approval, Cheng Shengli called a tricycle to deliver the Sony 21-inch large color TV to Director Zhu's house.

Director Zhu and his wife are both cadres, and their monthly salary is close to 200 yuan. They were in the high-income group in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and their family's financial situation was good.

His family had long planned to buy a TV set, and they fell in love with a 14-inch "Venus" brand color TV set. They also found out the price, which was about a thousand yuan.

We know so clearly because Director Zhu’s younger brother graduated from college and was assigned to work in Shanghai. He is also a state cadre and has a higher level than Director Zhu. During the summer vacation, the children watched the 14-inch "Venus" color TV at his brother's house in Shanghai.

It's just that TV tickets are tight, and color TV tickets are even more scarce. Director Zhu's brother has asked many people to help, and TV tickets have not yet been obtained.

Director Zhu and his family did not expect that Cheng Shengli would send a large original Japanese color TV to their family, and they were all overjoyed.

Corruption at this time was not too serious. It was basically impossible for leaders at the county level to accept hundreds or even thousands of bribes. Even if they were given two cigarettes and a few bottles of good wine, they would be very courageous.

No one dares to give or receive such an expensive gift as a large color TV.

Cheng Shengli's gift of a color TV to Director Zhu's home could only be regarded as helping to obtain scarce supplies, and he had to pay for it.

It was late at night, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to keep one or two thousand yuan in cash at home. Cheng Shengli sent a TV set, unpacked it, connected it to the power supply, and set it to CCTV before going back.

Director Zhu and his wife took Cheng Shengli to the road and told him to go to the bank to withdraw money early tomorrow morning.

The next day, at around ten o'clock in the morning, Director Zhu arrived at the joint transportation company in a jeep. He handed over 2,000 yuan to Cheng Shengli in front of the driver and a dozen joint transportation company cadres.

Cheng Shengli was not pretentious. He counted the money in person. After counting the money, he realized something was wrong. He quickly counted out 200 yuan and said: "Director Zhu, this color TV really cost 1,800 yuan. You gave me too much!"

"Not much, not much. The round-trip train and bus tickets to Guangzhou, plus the food and accommodation on the way, are about two hundred yuan!"

"We can't settle the bill like this! My Wen Ge didn't go to Guangzhou specifically to buy a color TV. I definitely can't charge more."

"I can't thank you enough for giving me the big color TV set. How can I let you post this!"

The two of them were humble, and in the end Cheng Shengli had to overcharge an extra 100 yuan. Director Zhu, in order to express his gratitude, invited Cheng Shengli and several main persons in charge of the joint transportation company to have a drink at the "Shijingcheng Hotel".

Before Shen Jianhua stated that "Shi Jing Cheng Hotel" was also a designated reception unit in the county, Director Gao, the top leader of the Transportation Bureau, often arranged to host receptions at "Shi Jing Cheng Hotel".

The reason is very simple. The environment of the "Summit Restaurant" provides excellent dishes. Director Gao is also a neighbor of Huang Han's family, and they usually get along well with each other.

However, good things happen to people. Director Gao's illness did not seem to affect the trajectory of the Gao family. Director Gao still had cancer. It was in the advanced stage when he was diagnosed, and he passed away just three months later.

Director Zhu was originally the second-in-command deputy secretary of the Transportation Bureau, and Director Gao was also the secretary. When the first-in-command died, it was natural for the second-in-command to take over.

Director Gao's youngest son is not yet an adult, he is only fourteen years old. The county takes care of him and arranges a job for the fourteen-year-old Gao. The work unit will be chosen by his family, and he will be treated as a regular employee when he joins the unit.

One cannot predict the future, so his family chose a department store in Sanshui County, which was popular at the time, for Xiao Gao.
