Chapter 99 Decision 3 Turns 1 Ring
Chapter 99: Decision Three Turns and One Ring
After leaving Li Huaide, it was noon time before get off work ended. Li Kailang then went to his master Zhang Jinwu to talk about Li Huaide.
"Master, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" Li Kailang asked Zhang Jinwu.
By the way, Li Huaide tried to get close to him, but Li Kailang didn't care.
In the play, Sha Zhu offended Li Huaide many times, but Li Huaide still treated him kindly.
It’s because Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are irreplaceable in the steel mill.
Now it is not Li Kailang who wants to join Li Huaide, but Li Huaide who is eager to recruit Li Kailang.
After all, only Li Kailang can do the cement thing.
"What do you think?" Zhang Jinwu asked back.
"It's not that I don't have any ideas, so I just asked Master to help me with some advice." Li Kailang said.
Master and disciple are one. If Li Kailang joins Li Huaide's team, naturally Zhang Jinwu, Lu Wenjiang and Zhang Fen will also join Li Huaide's team indirectly.
Even the entire transport team was under Li Huaide's command.
Just by winning over Li Kailang, he could indirectly take control of the transport team, and all he had to pay was a few conditions.
For Li Huaide, this is a deal with low cost and high return.
"You kid, your skills are better than mine, how come you don't have any ideas?" Zhang Jinwu looked at Li Kailang unhappily.
"Hehe!" Li Kailang smiled and didn't care.
No matter what Li Kailang thinks about this matter, he has to tell his master.
Zhang Jinwu was silent for a moment and began to think about countermeasures.
"Since Li Huaide wants to win you over, then you should accept it. After all, Li Huaide is also the deputy director of the factory and is in charge of logistics. Our transportation department is naturally his subordinate."
"Li Huaide's position in the factory is still unstable. You will definitely be valued when you go there."
"With him around, you will be able to do many things more smoothly, and you will have many opportunities for promotion in the future."
Li Kailang frowned and said hesitantly: "But, Master, if you do this, won't you be restrained by me?"
"If Li Huaide asks us to do something, we can't refuse. Besides, aren't there other leaders?"
Zhang Jinwu laughed and patted Li Kailang on the shoulder: "With you here, is there any mission that cannot be accomplished?"
Then he said proudly: "Besides, I am also a well-known person as your master. Li Huaide was able to become the deputy director because of my vote. He dare not do anything to me!"
"As for the other leaders, Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang are of the same lineage, both are upright people. They prefer the workers in the workshop to the transport team."
"Li Huaide was able to come to the steel mill because of the personalities of these two people. They only care about their own factory and don't care that much about the brother factories or other factories. But how can a big factory only care about itself?"
Zhang Jinwu decided, "Okay, let's just leave it at that. You can reply to him tomorrow! Although Li Huaide is not a good person, with your ability, he won't do anything to you."
"Most importantly, the tube building is his treasure pot. He will definitely try every means to accept you. You have to get in sooner or later, so you might as well go in first and take up a spot!"
"I understand, Master!" Li Kailang replied.
"Okay, your mistress has prepared the meal, so stay and eat."
After eating at his master's house, Li Kailang returned to the courtyard.
Before leaving, Li Huaide's secretary gave him another leave note, so he didn't have to go to work in the afternoon.
It’s a good opportunity to harvest the crops in the planting space at the same time.
Before the upgrade, Li Kailang had planted 2 acres of land. Now, after 6 days, the crops are ripe.
At the same time, some early-maturing crops are also ripe.
Rice, corn, wheat, etc., with a total output of about 300 kilograms.
There are also about 1600 kilograms of cabbage, potatoes, carrots, etc.
Including the previous harvest, Li Kailang had a total of about 5000 kilograms of grain.
In addition, there are sunflower seeds, totaling 3.3 kilograms.
Looking at the harvested crops, Li Kailang was a little worried. What should he do with all the food?
Grains like rice, wheat, and sorghum are not husked and are considered coarse grains, which he has never been able to use.
"When I go on a mission tomorrow, I'll go to the countryside and buy a millstone and grind it myself."
A millstone is not expensive, and Li Kailang plans to buy more millstones to process the grain.
"Okay, let's plant the food first,"
After taking a short rest at noon, Li Kailang simply washed up and went out.
"First, buy some bowls and bottles, then buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and finally buy a sewing machine."
The reason why the sewing machine was placed at the end was because it was not light and it was obviously impossible to put it on a bicycle, so it had to be pulled back by the porters.
As for where to put it? Naturally, it was in the east wing, which was full of wood.
Three hours later, Li Kailang ran around and finally bought all the daily necessities and a lot of cigarettes.
But I didn't buy any good cigarettes, such as Zhonghua, Dadao Pai, Da Chongjiu, Panda, etc. They are either special supplies or rarely released.
Li Kailang finally bought a Panda brand sewing machine, which cost 150 yuan, about the same price as a bicycle, otherwise it would not have been included in the “three turns and one ring”.
Speaking of sewing machines, the Jia family is not the only one in the courtyard. Yan Bugui's family also has one. The third aunt usually uses this sewing machine to support the family's life.
In addition to Yan Bugui's salary of 27.5, the third aunt also earned some extra income through sporadic clothing orders from the neighborhood and sporadic orders from textile factories.
It's not just the three aunts who do this, most capable housewives do this.
Before Yan Jiecheng started making money, the two of them supported their family bit by bit in this way.
On his way back, Li Kailang deliberately took a detour to see what the enemy spies were doing.
Because of his master's matter, Li Kailang had not paid attention to it these days, and only now did he have time to take a look.
I saw that there was no military or police blockade here, and everything around had returned to normal.
But Li Kailang could feel people glancing at him from time to time. Although he didn't know where the person was, he could vaguely feel it.
Li Kailang did not stay long. He thought it would not be too late to come and take a look when he was free on the weekend.
When he returned to the courtyard, Li Kailang found that the delivery worker had arrived. Some women stopped to look at the brand new sewing machines on the cart and blocked the gate of the courtyard.
"Jingle Bell--"
Li Kailang's bell suddenly rang, attracting everyone's attention, and everyone turned around to look at him.
Li Kailang rode his bicycle, trying to squeeze out a path in the crowd. He smiled shyly and shouted:
"Everyone, make way! Make way!"
Seeing that everyone had made way, Li Kailang joked:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I need to move my sewing machine in. If it breaks, I will have to pay for it."
As soon as these words came out, an elder sister immediately said:
"Xiao Li, is this the sewing machine you bought?"
"Yes, yes! Not only a sewing machine, but also a bicycle!" another woman answered quickly.
"Xiao Li, are you crazy about getting married? Sewing machines are not cheap. If any girl marries one, she will be so happy!" a woman laughed.
"Hey, look, what's on the back seat of Xiao Li's car?" A woman with sharp eyes spotted the black radio on the back seat of the car.
Everyone looked back and exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Li, is this a radio?"
“It’s Panda brand.”
"No! Look at what Xiao Li is holding in his hand, is that a watch?" someone suddenly shouted.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Kailang's wrist. Sure enough, he was wearing a watch on his wrist.
Li Kailang then remembered that he had forgotten to take it off after delivering the cement in the morning.
"Xiao Li, you quietly collected the three turns and one ring!" a woman exclaimed.
"Yes, Xiao Li will have a lot of matchmakers coming to his door in the future!" another woman continued.
The women were all whispering to each other, praising Li Kailang's good points, but they were probably also wondering if there were any suitable relatives to introduce to Li Kailang.
These four major items basically defeat most families in the old city.
The total cost of the four parts is more than 400 yuan. Except for the bicycle and watch, which do not require tickets, the sewing machine and radio also require tickets.
A radio on the black market costs several dozen yuan. It is so hard to find one.
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more enthusiastic about the discussion, Li Kailang quickly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please make way for me to move the sewing machine in first."
"Yes, yes, move the sewing machine in first!"
Everyone had Li Kailang's plans in mind and would not make things difficult for him, so they immediately made way for him.
This is a good son-in-law! Not only does he have four major appliances at home, but he is also a driver! Marrying Li Kailang, Chunchun will enjoy happiness.
Fortunately, the sewing machine is not heavy, about 50 pounds, and can be moved by one person.
Li Kailang settled the freight with the mover and looked at the group of middle-aged women standing at his door. He realized that he had been too careless.
"Everyone, I still have things to do, so I won't keep you here!" After saying that, Li Kailang pretended to be calm and left, not daring to stay.
"It's over, things have gotten out of hand!" Li Kailang thought to himself that something was wrong.
How is this different from what I planned?
Originally, Li Kailang wanted to take out the radio openly while everyone was still at get off work, thinking that if one person was lucky, then two people were lucky too.
The radio has been bought for more than half a month. There is no need to keep it hidden away. It is better to take it out early.
Li Kailang wanted to take a look at these things while everyone was cooking, and brought them back because no one had time to take care of them. Unexpectedly, he met a group of middle-aged women.
We can only eat out tonight. It’s definitely not an option to eat at home, as there will be a bunch of people knocking on our door.
