Chapter 80: Another good thing

Not long after, the radiant Zodiac Boat walked into the house as fast as flying, and something good happened again.

Today, the fuel company and the Materials Bureau sent two comrades to have a heart-to-heart talk with Huang Daozhou, and to find out the situation from Factory Director Zhu and a few old comrades.

They are here to solve the problem of Zodiac's seniority disparity.

After taking off his hat, Huang Daozhou has been writing letters asking his superiors to resolve historical issues, and has also written reaction materials and submitted them to the Complaints and Calls Office.

It's a pity that everything is like a stone sinking into the sea, he has given up hope, who knows what will happen next.

If the employer recognizes that previous years of service are closely related to benefits, Huang Daozhou will not have a salary two levels lower than that of his peers, and maybe he will be able to get some back pay, which will surely bring him a windfall.

After Huang Han heard this good news that was completely inconsistent with the original trajectory, he said happily:

"Dad, I suggest you continue to use crayfish to build relationships. With relevant officials from the fuel company and the Materials Bureau, you can come to their homes and deliver a large bowl of crayfish."

Possibly seeing the real benefits, Huang Daozhou's thoughts changed quickly. He no longer said anything like "Why do you stick your hot face to someone else's cold butt", but nodded in agreement.

After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy and said: "I'm afraid just sending crayfish is not enough. I think there are a few more important leaders who need to give some gifts."

Huang Han said with a smile: "Dad, you first send crayfish to connect the relationship. In a few days, I will have something very special for you to give as a gift."

Gift-giving in this era is actually very simple. Something worth three to five yuan is a big gift. For example, giving a "Hucheng Daqianmen" cigarette is only three yuan and sixty cents, not counting the value of the cigarette ticket.

Giving away two bottles of "Yanghe Dunhuang Daqu" is worth three yuan, forty-six cents, not counting the wine ticket.

But when most people have no money, spending more than ten or twenty percent of their monthly salary on buying things and giving gifts will definitely affect their family's life.

It is said that there have been more corrupt officials after the reform and opening up. The main reason is that before the reform and opening up, everyone was poor, almost no one was rich, and few could afford to take bribes if they wanted to!

Huang Daozhou was so surprised that he asked: "At home? What else can I do at home? Are you thinking about catching turtles again?"

"Hee hee, catching turtles depends entirely on luck, there is no way to count! Mom, come and tell Dad!"

Zhang Fangfen is so smart! Of course she knew that her son wanted to use the "backpack" as a gift, so she said happily: "Several leaders have children in school at home, right?"

"Yeah! Every family has children going to school."

Zhang Fangfen picked up the colorful "backpack" made by Huang Han and said, "I'm going to make this out of 'labour cloth' and give it to you as a gift."

"Hey! This is great? But do you have enough cloth tickets at home?"

"There is no need for cloth tickets. You can go to Dongfanghong Cloth Factory tomorrow and buy ten bundles of 'labor cloth'. Huang Han has already made an agreement with them, and it will cost one yuan a bundle."

"Made with labor cloth? Haha, Fangfen, you are too smart! Hey, that's not right! Did Huang Han make an agreement with others? Who did he make an agreement with? Such a big thing, people would listen to a child

?”

Spending ten yuan to buy ten bundles of cloth is indeed a big deal these days. You must know that ten yuan can buy twenty kilograms of pig meat, which is equivalent to one-third of the average monthly salary of an ordinary worker.

For such a big thing, it really shouldn't be something that an eleven-year-old kid can just talk to someone and have someone agree to it.

When Huang Han was a child, his friends often said: "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, let's bet a hundred yuan!"

One hundred yuan was an astronomical figure in the eyes of children at that time. It was impossible to even see it, let alone own it. If you got two yuan as lucky money during the New Year, it would definitely be a wealthy person's move.

The New Year's money Huang Han received when he was about ten years old was basically given by the elders of the family. Even so, he did not have control over it and would always be collected by Zhang Fangfen.

The reason is very simple, as much as the New Year's money is collected, the same amount of New Year's money must be given to other children's children. The final result is that Huang Han only has the two cents given by Zhang Fangfen in his pocket.

Often Huang Han's twenty cents would be used to buy a comic book, which consumes countless brain cells.

Why is this happening? The reason is very simple. There are too many comic books in the Xinhua Bookstore on Dongda Street. Huang Han only had enough money in his pocket to buy one. He didn't regret taking the medicine without thinking about it over and over again.

In order to dispel Huang Daozhou's concerns, Huang Han patiently explained: "Dad, you should see Zhang Chunmei's mother often these days, right?"

"Um!"

"She works as a cadre in the Finance Department of the Dongfanghong Cloth Factory. When you go to the Dongfanghong Cloth Factory tomorrow, when you are stopped by the gatekeeper in the reception room, you will say that you have made an appointment with Section Chief Zhang of the Finance Department..."

Huang Daozhou suddenly realized that he had seen Zhang Chunmei and her daughter almost every day these days. He thought that Huang Han and Zhang Chunmei should be good friends, so it was logical to ask her mother to help buy cloth.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Chunmei's mother is a cadre of the 'Dongfanghong Cloth Factory'. It's great. With this relationship, I can not only buy cloth from her in the future, but also buy some defective cloth. The defective cloth is cheap and I don't need any cloth."

ticket."

"Dad is really awesome. He knows how to draw inferences from one example to other cases. This is how relationships are. You will get better if you interact more."

This time Huang Daozhou didn't say "I can get you!", but nodded and said: "That's true. At work these days, I always feel that many colleagues take the initiative to get close to me."

"Dad, I suggest you find a three-wheeler to transport the cloth back tomorrow."

"No need. I estimate it will cost seven to eight cents or even one yuan. It's not necessary. I'll go to the factory tomorrow to borrow a trolley and tie it to the back of my bicycle to bring it back."

"Dad, you don't need to carry the cart when you ask someone else to transport it. Pushing the cart is so tiring! Why bother saving this little money?"

"How much can a bundle of cloth weigh? At most thirty or forty pounds. Remember, whether you have money or not, save whatever you can. Our family has many things that need money."

Huang Han decided not to talk nonsense, because his parents' character was like this, and they were used to being thrifty and thrifty. Even if Huang Han's financial situation no longer counted daily consumption, Zhang Fangfen still refused to be extravagant and wasteful.

With a sewing machine at home, you can make a ‘backpack’ right away, and it is urgent to install a fluorescent lamp to brighten up your home.

Before the third class on Friday morning, Huang Han took the initiative to chat with his classmate Wang Yu, and then handed him a piece of paper with the ballast, 30-watt fluorescent tube, starter, fixed card holder and other accessories written on it.

of paper.

Wang Yu’s father worked at a hardware company’s store on Dongjie Street, and the county magistrate might as well be in charge of it. Huang Han said straightforwardly: “Wang Yu, go home at noon, show this note to your father, and ask him to write the price on it.

You asked clearly when your father will be in the store, and I will buy it at that time. Can you tell your father to sell me the best quality one?"

Wang Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "Don't worry, my father is the deputy director, he is in charge of the store, he knows best what is of good quality, you can pick it up anytime, just tell me,

I'll wait for you in the store."

Now in Classes 3, 4 and 3, most of the students in Class 3 and 5 are proud to be able to work for Huang Han. Wang Yu is very energetic at this moment.

"Can we make an appointment at quarter past eight on Sunday morning?"

"Okay! My dad works on Sunday, and he has Wednesday off."

"Remember, I want top-quality lamps and ballasts."

"It's guaranteed to work well. If it breaks, you can just ask my dad to replace it with a new one."

Huang Han lost no time in praising him: "I didn't expect that classmate Wang Yu is very good! If he dares to make such a big guarantee, then I will put my heart in my stomach."

Wang Yu was even happier. He patted his chest and said, "My dad not only knows how to dance the best, but he also chooses the cheapest dance."

Cheap? Don't take advantage of it, bastard! Huang Han said: "Oh! I forgot to mention, I plan to buy two sets."

"No problem! There are plenty of them in my dad's store! You can get as many as you want!"
