Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

You just need to plant the seeds or seedlings, and then harvest them the next day with just one click from the large and small bubbles suspended in the air.

This scene reminded Xu Dacan of the time when he set the alarm to steal vegetables at QQ Farm.

Do you remember the brick kiln? That place has almost become the urban area of ​​Beijing.

As a last resort, Xu Dacan had to find another piece of land farther away and build a warehouse.

It’s more like an empty factory than a warehouse.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are a lot of boxes and bags piled up inside, these are just to cover up the truth.

Xu Dacan is no longer at the Red Star Factory, but the relationship still exists.

There were many people in the Red Star Factory who had received favors from him and Xu Damao in the past.

These people may not be in particularly important positions, but to have made it to where they are today, who doesn’t have some connections?

In the TV series, in 84, even Liu Haizhong was able to rely on his relationship with Director Lan to trade rebar with his two useless sons.

By going through the motorcade and the twists and turns of the Red Star Factory, wouldn't it be easy for Xu Dacan to deal in some scrap steel slag?

It is impossible to imagine how much scrap slag a steel rolling mill produces every day if you have not worked in a factory.

Xu Dacan can only say that this business can make everyone well-fed and full!

From the deputy factory director to the workshop director, from the crane driver to the crane operator, even the gatekeeper in the factory security department, everyone received a share of the money.

Not to mention the drivers of his original base's convoy.

He specially prepared this warehouse, and Qin Bao was guarding it.

Every now and then, trucks would come with scrap steel slag, and Qin Bao would pay them directly according to the price per ton.

Someone may ask, why collect this thing?

The scrap steel slag left over from steel rolling mills is one of the important raw materials for electric furnace steelmaking, casting, small and medium-sized agricultural tools, and light industrial production.

In the past few years, our country has even had to import scrap steel every year.

And last year, that is, 1981, we even exported a portion of it, creating foreign exchange for the country.

This is mainly because the current international market price of scrap steel is relatively high, with each ton sold from Huangpu Port selling for US$110 to US$140, or RMB 308 to 392, while the domestic purchase price is only around RMB 100, a huge difference.

Some things cannot be explained in too much detail. Anyway, all you need to know is that Qin Bao can earn more than one or two thousand yuan a month just by reselling scrap steel slag.

Qin Huairu's current monthly salary is only 43 yuan.

The key point is that Xu Dacan doesn't have to pay for this money. Every Saturday afternoon, a mysterious vehicle will come to take away the scrap steel slag, and then give the next payment directly to Qin Bao.

As for who this person is, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.

Xu Dacan only needs to come to the warehouse once every weekend and take advantage of this window period to fill the boxes or bags with medicinal materials in the space.

When she goes to work on Monday, Yu Li will arrange for a truck to take the herbs to the store.

In this way, the two lines are not adjacent to each other and the people on both sides do not meet each other, forming a perfect closed loop.

Xu Dacan also took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

"..."

After leaving the store, Xu Dacan went to Qin Bao's house on purpose.

As soon as Liu Yuhua saw Xu Dacan coming, she went to buy chicken and fish and let Xu Dacan have lunch here at noon.

Now she no longer thinks it is shameful for Qin Bao to do small business outside.

Look at his man, how much money he makes a month now!

Xu Dacan stopped her and said, "Why should we be polite to each other?"

Liu Yuhua also has a share in the scrap steel slag business in the warehouses outside Beijing.

She is now a section chief, and if she moves up one step, she will be a workshop director. How could Xu Dacan not involve her in dealing in scrap steel slag?

Liu Yuhua insisted on going out to buy groceries. After she left, Xu Dacan asked Qin Bao, "I left your brother in the icy and snowy Northeast for two years. Does he blame me?"

Qin Bao looked puzzled. "Look at what you said, brother. Why does my brother blame you? He brought my sister-in-law to your house to enjoy a good life. The godfather and godmother are very good to them. They don't even have to take care of the children. They just dumped them on me. Sometimes I wish I could switch with him."

After all these years, Qin Bao is still like Xiong Er.

Xu Dacan asked him: "Then why don't you say it?"

Qin Bao smiled innocently: "I know how important the things over there are. Only if my brother is placed over there, you will feel at ease, brother. I can't do it."

This kid has a clear mind like a mirror.

Although Xu Dacan has assembled a team under his command, the two brothers are still the ones he trusts the most.

The Northeast is his base camp. If Qin Hu was not there in person, Xu Dacan would not be able to sleep well the whole day.

And here, he can only feel at ease with Qin Bao in charge.

Xu Dacan comforted Qin Bao and said, "Wait a little longer. After May, when I go to the new unit, your brother will be able to come back from Harbin."

Qin Bao was really overjoyed: "Really!"

Xu Dacan nodded: "Also, you can continue to open a roast chicken shop, and you don't have to watch over the warehouse all day long."

Qin Bao was so moved that he almost cried.

Although it is good now, he earns two salaries, but he just prefers to sit around the stove and cook all kinds of chickens, such as roast chicken, grilled chicken, beggar's chicken...

Qin Bao feels that he is happiest when he is working as a prostitute.

Why did Xu Dacan say that he would no longer need the brothers Qin Hu and Qin Bao after he graduated? Is he going to get rid of them after they have done their work?

How could he do such a stupid thing?

But if he went to Chen Jun, he could do it openly.

By then, he would have ten thousand ways to switch the medicinal materials shipped from the Northeast and then send them to Yu Li.

There is no need to act like a thief like we are now!

"..."

During the winter break of my senior year, the school was closed for once, allowing everyone to have a complete vacation.

Why do I say this? It is because in the previous three years, I basically never had a proper winter or summer vacation.

There is one month of military training in the summer vacation, and then another half a month of study, so a total of half a month of vacation.

The winter vacation will not start until two days before New Year’s Eve, with no consideration given to whether out-of-town students will be able to return home for the New Year.

Moreover, just after the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, students were asked to return to school and start a week-long military training, and then began a new semester.

Yet, no one has any complaints.

Because everyone understands how cruel the exam results for this class are.

Of the 570 million candidates, 27 were admitted, with an admission rate of only 4.7%; the situation of the 1978 candidates six months later was not much better, with 610 million candidates, 40 were admitted, with an admission rate of only 6.6%.
