Chapter 132 Old things (1)
"From Baoding? The recipient is He Yuzhu?" Xu Damao asked, "Shazhu doesn't have any relatives in Baoding, so why are you writing to him and sending him money?"
"you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. I used to deliver mail in the post office. I was the one who delivered the first one. That was not long after I started working."
Li De recalled: "I once came to the entrance of the alley to deliver a letter and asked him who He Yuzhu was. An old man, oh, that's Yi Zhonghai you guys mentioned, said he knew He Yuzhu, and he was from your hospital!"
"I gave him the letter and the money. Every month, one letter, 20 yuan a month. Except for the first time, Yi Zhonghai would come to the post office to pick it up on my behalf. He was very punctual until I changed jobs a few years ago. I don't know what happened after that."
"You... I don't know what to say to you, just come back with me!" Zhang Jie was too tired to complain. The Postal and Telecommunications Law stipulates that letters and property shall not be transferred to others unless there is a written authorization. Otherwise, it is illegal, do you know?
At that time it was called the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and it was one of the most awesome departments of all!
It has three sub-businesses!
The first is the business of sending and receiving letters and valuables, which is a special business.
The second is postal and telecommunications services, which means that telephone and telegram services must go through them.
The third is banking business. Postal Savings Bank of China has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Later, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was divided into the Postal Bureau, which is a regulatory department. Postal logistics, three links and one delivery, all express delivery and logistics are supervised by the Postal Bureau.
The postal and telecommunications businesses were also separated, so there were three operators! Later, in order to form the three major operators, a virtual operator and a radio and television operator were also established.
Let’s talk about bank branches.
Wherever there is a post office, there are branches of Postal Savings Bank, which has the largest number in the country. No bank has as many branches as this post office.
This has become a big trouble. It's not only about Hua Chu's family, but also She Zhu's. Judging from District Chief Hua's attitude, he should at least take off this piece of clothing.
Alas~ Zhang Jie sighed inwardly, thinking that he might be unlucky too!
After Zhang Jie and his three men left, Xu Damao still hadn't reacted: "What relatives does Sha Zhu have in Baoding who send him money, 20 yuan every month? So much money? Who could have sent it?"
"Who sent it? It must be He Daqing!" Hua Chengyu replied.
"He Daqing? You mean Sha Zhu's father? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xu Damao flatly denied.
"How is it impossible?" Hua Chengyu asked.
"How is it possible? I have seen He Daqing before. He is as smart as a monkey. For a white widow, he ran from Beijing to Baoding..."
"Baoding, He Daqing, yes, it was him who sent it!"
"You are such a fool! He Daqing sent him 20 yuan every month, but at that time he asked me and Jia Dongxu for money every day, pretending to be poor!" Xu Damao said angrily: "I helped him at that time!"
"You helped him but he beat you?" Hua Chengyu looked at Xu Damao strangely.
"Of course not. Although I don't like Shazhu, I still feel sorry for him because he really can't eat. It's because of my mouth, no, it's Shazhu's mouth, it stinks. I can't stand him and often quarrel with him. But when he can't win the argument, he beats me!"
They are almost the same!
They are all people who are afraid that their brothers will suffer, and also afraid that their brothers will drive a Land Rover!
"Maybe Sha Zhu didn't receive the money and the letter?" Hua Chengyu said slowly, "I also heard from Second Uncle about Sha Zhu's past. He shouldn't be pretending."
"How is that possible?" Xu Damao didn't believe it at all.
"Why not? Just ask Sha Zhu and you'll know." Hua Chengyu glanced at Xu Damao. He put down his teacup and said, "Fei'er, I think we've almost finished packing. Shall we go buy some groceries?"
"Okay, Brother Xiaoyu!" Fei'er patted her clothes happily and went out with Hua Chengyu.
On the other side, Xu Damao slowly walked out of the backyard, saw that Sha Zhu's door was not locked, pushed the door open, and saw Sha Zhu combing his hair in front of the mirror with a comb.
"Shazhu, pay me back!" Xu Damao was furious when he saw Shazhu. Shazhu had owed him money for two and a half years, and he hadn't paid a penny of the principal or even the interest.
Now you are even more conceited?
"Xu Damao, why are you in my room?" Sha Zhu was startled. Xu Damao usually didn't dare to enter this room. "Pay back the money? What money?"
"What money, Shazhu? Have you forgotten that you owe me 5000 yuan? The daily interest rate is %, and if it exceeds one year, the interest will be doubled. Pay me back!" Xu Damao said angrily.
"I have no money!" Sha Zhu didn't even ask how much money he owed. Not to mention the interest, he didn't even have the principal.
"No money? Sha Zhu, don't play dumb. Your father He Daqing sends you 20 yuan every month, which is 240 yuan a year. After so many years, you should have at least several thousand yuan. Pay me back!" Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu and said.
"Nonsense, my father He Daqing sends me 20 yuan every month? Xu Damao, how about you give me 20 yuan every month and I will recognize you as my father!" Speaking of this, Sha Zhu was very angry. His father had been a chef for many years and was also the head chef of a restaurant. His average monthly salary was 57 yuan.
I left him 35 dollars when I left!
He and Yu Shui almost starved to death. If it weren't for an old lady and a deaf woman who often helped him and his sister, He Yuzhu would probably not be alive today.
This is also the reason why, after he learned that Yi Zhonghai had withheld his job and made him enter the factory three years later, although he hated Yi Zhonghai, he would forgive him as long as Aunt Yi pleaded for him.
It’s not that he doesn’t hate Yi Zhonghai, but he is more grateful to Aunt Yi.
"You are an unfilial son who doesn't even recognize your own father. I don't have a son as old as you!" Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu with disdain.
"Silly Zhu, stop pretending and give me back the money!"
"Why are you pretending? Xu Damao, you know I don't have any money!" Sha Zhu couldn't stand up, saying, "You know I'm not someone who doesn't pay back debts! But I really don't have any money!"
"I have no money, Shazhu. Where is the one thousand yuan that Yi Zhonghai compensated you last time?" Xu Damao asked relentlessly.
"Xu Damao, don't think about that money. Half of it was rainwater. Sister Qin saved it for me!" said Sha Zhu.
"Give it all to Qin Huairu?" Xu Damao couldn't believe it. He used to think that Sha Zhu was pretending to be stupid, but now he realized that Sha Zhu was really stupid.
"That's right. I gave it to Sister Qin that day. Please save half of it for me. When I have 5000, I will return it to you. The other half is Yu Shui's dowry. You won't want it, will you?" Sha Zhu said.
"No, don't worry!" Xu Damao nodded.
Xu Damao still has some conscience. According to Director Hua, he can eat Sha Zhu for the rest of his life. As for He Yushui, he has already eaten the meat anyway.
He Yushui still cared about his brother. Whenever he asked him to pay back the money, he would ask the street committee and the police to lock up Sha Zhu if he didn't.
He Yushui panicked and refused at first, but this kind of thing would happen once or countless times.
Then he begged and offered to serve him. In the past two years, Sha Zhu has been his brother-in-law for two years, which is one of the reasons why he did not ask for the debt.
It has to be said that compared to money, being with He Yushui... made Xu Damao feel more accomplished. At one point, He Yushui even wanted to marry him to pay off Sha Zhu's debt.
How can it be?
He can borrow Sha Zhu's debt and feed his brother and sister for the rest of their lives!
"How much money does Qin Huairu save for you every month?" Xu Damao asked.
"I don't remember it. Anyway, Sister Qin helps me and Yu Shui with eating, buying clothes, changing seasons and so on. I should be able to save about ten or twenty yuan every month. Xu Damao, when I save 5000 yuan, I will pay it back to you!" Sha Zhu said impatiently.
"Well, even if you save fifteen dollars a month, that's 375 dollars in two and a half years. Count the one thousand dollars Yi Zhonghai paid you, that's 1375! And your father He Daqing sent you 20 dollars every month. I don't know how long he's been sending it for, but it's been seven or eight years since 53. Let's say it's seven years, 240 dollars a year, that's 1680 dollars in seven years. Shazhu, you're a rich man, more than three thousand dollars, definitely a rich man."
"Pay back the money!" Xu Damao pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Everything is 20 yuan a month, 20 yuan. Xu Damao, I know all the characters, but I can't understand a single word." Sha Zhu said helplessly: "How did you know that He Daqing sent me yuan every month?"
"Didn't you know that what happened in the backyard just now was such a big deal?" Xu Damao said slowly.
"What do you know? I'm preparing food. I'm going to go to Sister Qin's house to ask about his cousin. Have you seen his cousin? She's so beautiful..." Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao with a lewd face.
"Who is his cousin?" Xu Damao played dumb.
Not only has he seen it all over his body, he has also used it. It turns out that it is quite useful and has great potential for development.
"Qin Jingru, you don't know, sister Qin's cousin is no worse than sister Qin. Her figure, voice, and face don't look like a country girl at all. She is more beautiful than the girls in the city. Let me tell you, Xu Damao, you can't mess up my good things. After this happens, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!" Speaking of this, Sha Zhu talked endlessly with great interest. Even Qin Jingru looked so beautiful when she was angry.
Silly Zhu is intoxicated!
"Who wants you to remember the kindness of others for the rest of your life!" Xu Damao said disdainfully, "You are in so much debt and you still want to find a wife?"
"What's wrong with owing money? With my skills, am I afraid I can pay you back?" Sha Zhu said confidently: "I'm not bragging, I have a big boss behind me! If the big boss recommends a job, he will pay ten or twenty yuan, which is enough to cover half a month's salary for me."
Xu Damao knew about this. Just this year, Xiao Ke, the factory's projectionist, came to the boss's house to project a film under the leadership of Director Yang. He happened to meet Sha Zhu who was going to cook for his boss.
Xiao Ke said a few bad words about Sha Zhu to the leader's wife, and was kicked out by the big leader.
Xiao Ke was telling the truth. Sha Zhu was not popular in the factory. Now he prefers to stir the spoon when getting food, just to take more food home.
After all, the three children of the Jia family are becoming more and more greedy.
Xiao Ke didn't dare to hold a grudge against his boss, so after he came back, he complained to Xu Damao and gave Xu Damao a chance to play a trick on Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao told Hua Chengyu about it.
He must remember Brother Hua's sigh at that time: This is the sadness of the little people. Even if they are wronged, they can only find their own kind to hurt each other!
"It seems that Sha Zhu, you are not short of money, so give me back the money!" Xu Damao stretched out his hand and asked Sha Zhu for money.
"Didn't I tell you that I have no money? When I save up 5000 yuan, I will pay you back!" Sha Zhu poured a glass of water for Xu Damao.
Just plain water! "Xu Damao looked at it with disdain. He no longer drinks plain water!
"You don't want to drink water, you want to drink wine?" Sha Zhu helplessly took out the half-drunk Lao Daozi. The wine was cheap and strong, but the quality was not good.
"You only drink Lao Daozi? Sha Zhu, you are too stingy, this bottle is only 2 cents." Xu Damao said disdainfully again: "What kind of wine do you usually drink? I'm going to scare you to death if I tell you, Feitian Moutai, 3 yuan a bottle! Even dogs won't drink your wine."
"Feitian Moutai, 3 yuan a bottle? Even if your salary is more than yuan, how many bottles can you afford? You can't afford it!" Sha Zhu poured a glass for Xu Damao: "Brother, this is the condition, whether you like it or not!"
"Silly Zhu, you are too stingy, why don't you have a bottle of Dongjiu!"
If you want to know what is the most popular wine in recent years, it is of course Dongjiu. Dongjiu is produced in Donggongsi Town, H District, Z City, Guizhou Province.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhejiang University moved west to City Z.
The professors came to Donggong Temple to understand the people's sentiments, and after tasting Dongjiu, they praised it highly.
Professors believe that this wine, which incorporates more than 130 kinds of herbs in the making of koji, is a "wine of hundreds of herbs."
The character "董" is composed of "艹" and "重". "艹" has the same character as "草", and "重" means large number, so the character "董" means "hundreds of herbs".
Immediately, the professors proposed to name this wine "Dongjiu", hoping that Dongjiu would continue to uphold the true meaning of human winemaking that "medicine and food have the same origin" and "wine and medicine have the same origin".
From then on, Dongjiu was named and became famous throughout the country.
In recent years, the country has gradually stabilized, and Dongjiu has been loved by many people in the name of health preservation. It is sold for 7 cents a bottle in the market.
It is one of the rare high-end wines at this time, and most people cannot afford it.
