Chapter 24 Xu Damao can't control his hands
Evening
Xu Damao's mother brought Xu Damao to Lin's house quietly. Old Xu originally planned to ask Lin Chen to help look after his son in two days. But his wife felt sorry for her son so she couldn't wait...
As soon as Xu's mother entered the room, she laughed and said, "Oh, Huairu is cooking!"
Qin Huairu saw the person coming and said: "Hey, I'm cooking dinner. Are you looking for Lin Chen? He's in the pharmacy, come in!"
"Okay, thank you Huairu. Sorry for bothering Xiaolin today..."
Xu Damao was still looking at Qin Huairu stupidly when my mother pulled him away and kicked him.
The mother and son knew that the east room was Old Man Lin’s small pharmacy, so they walked straight in.
When Lin Chen saw Xu Damao's dazed look, he secretly wrote it down in a small notebook in his mind.
"We need to find an opportunity to castrate these guys..."
When the mother and son walked into the small pharmacy, Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Is Lao Xu still drunk?"
Xu's mother sighed: "Don't mention it. He's drunk like a dead pig. It's really embarrassing for Xiaolin. I'll bring Damao over to take a look..."
Lin Chen glanced at Xu Damao again with a smile on his face.
"Let's check Damao's pulse first. Judging from his complexion, there's nothing wrong with him..."
Lin Chen's words made Xu's mother feel relieved. As long as there was no serious problem, it would be fine. Yang praised Lin Chen's Qi-reading skill as miraculous. He could tell whether a woman was pregnant from a distance. It was too magical. It was winter now, so the clothes were so thick...
Now all the women in the courtyard believe in Lin Chen’s ability, otherwise the steel mill would be crazy and would pay the young man more than 70 yuan a month.
After a few minutes
Lin Chen sighed deeply, which frightened Xu Damao and his mother...
"Don't scare me, Xiaolin. This is the only child of the Xu family."
Then Lin Chen chuckled: "I sighed because Damao was not doing well, not because he was seriously ill."
Mother Xu looked at her son in confusion and then at Lin Chen.
"Xiao Lin, just tell your aunt what's going on."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Damao with a half-smile: "It's just kidney deficiency. Go back and tell Master Xu and he will know what it means. Tell this kid to watch his hands at night..."
But Xu's mother was an experienced person, so she knew what kidney deficiency meant. She raised her hand and slapped her son on the head.
"I'll beat you to death, you useless idiot...why do you fiddle with that every day!"
Xu Damao thought that the old lady was going to attack him again, so he ran away in fear...
"Xiao Lin, thank you for not being seriously ill!"
After the mother and son left, Lin Chen shook his head.
"If we tell them that Xu Damao's seeds are all moldy, I wonder if Old Xu will want to have a third child and train another trumpet? After all, Xu Lingling will get married sooner or later..."
……
Early next morning
Under the arrangement of the Lou family, Xu Damao officially entered a warehouse in the Labor and Personnel Department of the steel rolling mill as an apprentice warehouse manager.
Although the monthly salary was only 10 yuan, which was the lowest among the apprentices, the advantage was that I didn't have to work hard... I just had to follow the warehouse keeper to distribute goods every day.
This made Xu Damao very proud.
During lunch, he went to the window where Sha Zhu got his food to show off. When Sha Zhu saw that it was Xu Damao who came to get his food, he was stunned.
"Silly hat, why is it you, kid?"
Xu Damao immediately became unhappy: "You silly Zhu, you look down on others, so why can't I be your master? I also started working in the steel mill today, and I'm working in the labor warehouse..."
Xu Damao was showing off his workstation when someone in the queue behind him kicked him.
"If you don't want to eat, get out. Can't you see there are dozens of people queuing up? If you want to chat, get out..."
Xu Damao, a young man, didn't dare to lose his temper after being kicked. He just took his food and left obediently.
This made Shazhu very happy.
"Bah, you deserve it!"
Lin Chen, who was not far away, also saw this scene.
"They are two talented people! But this old Xu is still quite capable. He came as soon as he said he would."
……
After lunch
Lin Chen first greeted his section chief and then came to the door of Secretary Wan's office.
After a simple knock on the door... a voice came from inside the room.
"Please come in"
Lin Chen pushed the door and walked in. Secretary Wan looked up and saw that it was Lin Chen.
"Xiao Lin, come and sit down. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Chen did not sit down but walked closer to the other person's desk.
"Secretary Wan, I came to see you about the injured worker a few days ago. The bone-setting plaster I made is now short of two Chinese herbs, and I'm going to go to major pharmacies to look for it. In two days, I'll have to change the plaster, and we'll know whether I can save it."
"Then go find it! This is a big deal. Do you need some money from the finance department? Don't worry, the government office will approve it. I'll write you a note now."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "The herbs are not worth much, it just takes time for me to find them."
Secretary Wan reacted immediately: "This is also official business! Just like going on business trips and going out on errands, it's all for the steel mill. Go ahead and I'll notify the security department now. You need to go out on errands from time to time, so you can free up your time!"
Lin Chen didn't expect the other party to approve it so readily. It seems that having a special skill makes a difference. Medical skills are much more important than cooking skills. You can eat less and not die, but if you miss a medicine, you will die.
"Thank you Secretary Wan for your understanding. Normally I won't run around. After all, I have to deal with emergencies..."
Secretary Wan laughed: "Xiao Lin is right. Our factory deals with machines. There are dozens of small bumps and bruises every day, but you are still needed to take charge of the big problems. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the organization..."
The two chatted for a while before Lin Chen left the steel mill with Secretary Wan's approval...
"It's not easy to take over the concubine system now that it has just been abolished. Qin Huairu can take back the Siheyuan. But Liang Ladi can't take back the Siheyuan as well!"
Lin Chen now plans to buy a few more small courtyards before the houses are nationalized.
On the way to the front door...
"System, according to the time, Liang Ladi is still in Shouguang County. If I want to intercept her, she can't run to Qilu, right?"
[The Xiangyang Township there is the hometown of her future husband and has nothing to do with Liang Ladi. The host does not need to worry at all. She will appear when the time comes...]
"That's good. I only know the address in the other world where she sent money to her hometown. I thought she was from there too..."
[She is also, but she will come to Sijiu City and deliver it to you. ]
……
Front door
Lin Chen easily found the shadow puppet show performer.
"Hey, Mr. Pian, you're here! It was so hard for me to find you..."
Pian Ye saw that the person calling him was a young man, but he didn't know him.
"Comrade, do you know me?"
Lin Chen parked his bicycle, took out a cigarette and refilled it for the other person.
"You are a forgetful person. My colleagues and I watched the foreign movie you showed last month. Think about whether you remember me..."
When Pian Ye heard that it was his old customer, although he had no impression of him, he still greeted him with a smile after all, he had smoked the other person's cigarette.
"Hey, I remember that this happened. Comrade, you are here to watch the movie again, right? I just got a new movie."
Lin Chen thought to himself, I see Yan Bugui every day, but this is the first time I see you, Pian Ye... But you two look like twins, who can't recognize you!
"No, no, I'm not going to watch a movie today. I have a better deal for you today..."
When Pian Ye heard about the good deal, he became excited, because Lin Chen was riding a new bicycle, wearing a new cotton-padded jacket, and even the cigarettes he sold were only 20 cents a pack.
"Comrade, tell me, what's a good deal?"
The reason why Lin Chen looked for him was because he knew that his ancestors had followed the prince. Although he was in decline now, he still had some connections in the Qianmen area...
"I want to buy a few houses or small courtyards, as long as the price is right. I know that Mr. Pian is knowledgeable and popular, so as long as Mr. Pian can help me find out. How about I give you a commission of ten dollars for each courtyard?"
