The next morning.
Cao Feng had just pushed his bicycle out of the house when he saw Xu Damao limping back from outside.
"Damao, what's wrong with you? Why was she limping and walking unsteadily?”
"I was drunk last night and slept in the factory cafeteria.”
"My foot was accidentally pressed by something when I was sleeping. When I woke up this morning, it became like this.”
"Oh, I see! Then go home and rest!" After Cao Feng finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle out.
He didn't believe a single word Xu Damao said.
However, with Xu Damao's current situation and the original plot, he could roughly guess what was going on.
Xu Damao must have been taught a lesson by He Yuzhu last night.
He Yuzhu tied her to a chair with a rope and slept for the night.
Now, Xu Damao was limping and could not walk smoothly. It was most likely because he had maintained a single body movement for a long time.
" Wait!" Xu Damao hurriedly stopped Cao Feng when he saw that he was about to leave.
"Is there anything else?" Cao Feng turned around and asked.
"That Cao Feng, isn't it almost the end of the month? I don't have much food left at home. I want to go to your grain and oil station to buy some food in the afternoon, but I've run out of this month's rations on my family's grain and oil book. Look,"
In this era, food could not be bought as long as one had the money. The government had to set a fixed number of food stamps to buy food.
The number of people in each household was the same as the amount of food they could buy in a month.
Moreover, when purchasing food, the government would record it in the grain and oil book to prevent people with money and food stamps from buying more food.
For example, Xu Damao was a projectionist and a light worker. His monthly ration of food was only 28 catties. He could only get 28 catties of food stamps from the street office every month. Every month, he could only record the purchase of 28 catties of food on his family's grain and oil book. If it was too much, he could not buy it even if he had food stamps.
If Xu Damao finished eating 28 catties of food in advance…
Under normal circumstances, Xu Damao would only be able to buy food when his rations were available at the beginning of the next month.
Under special circumstances, such as Xu Damao having extra food stamps, he could go to a restaurant even though he couldn't buy food normally.
Of course, if Xu Damao didn't have tickets but had money, he could only risk going to the pigeon market (black market) to buy food at a high price.
"Just this? It's just a small matter. Do you have food stamps at home?”
"Yes!"
"It's good that you have it. In the afternoon, bring the food stamps and money to the grain and oil station's shop and look for a grain seller named Li Kui. I'll inform him.”After Cao Feng said this, he thought for a moment and asked,"Right, Da Mao, how much food do you want to buy? What kind of food do you want to buy? When I go to work later, I'll tell Li Kui to prepare it for you.”
Li Kui was one of Cao Feng's three lackeys at the grain and oil station. He was in charge of the shop's grain sales.
As for the fact that Xu Damao's family didn't have a fixed amount of grain on their food and oil book?
It might be a big deal for Xu Damao, but for him, the deputy station chief of the grain and oil station, it was just a matter of a word.
"I want to buy white flour, okay? Also, I want to buy 20 catties. 20 catties is enough.”Xu Damao replied excitedly.
Originally, he had only asked Cao Feng for help casually.
It would be best if he could help. If he could not, he would think of a way to go to the pigeon market and spend a high price to buy some food.
However, he did not expect Cao Feng to agree to his request.
It seemed that he had made the right decision to treat Cao Feng to a drink the night before.
"Alright, 20 catties of white flour, right? I understand. You can go and find someone to buy it in the afternoon.”Cao Feng nodded to show that he understood. He did not want to talk to Xu Damao anymore, so he raised his wrist to look at the time and said to Xu Damao,"Damao, it's getting late. I'm going to work!”
"Eh ~ Alright, Cao Feng, take care!”
.......
Dongzhimen Grain and Oil Station, Deputy Station Master's Office.
Cao Feng came to the grain and oil station. After returning the bicycle to the old stationmaster, Wu Gensheng, he called all three of his lackeys to his office.
"Daniu, Qianjun, Li Kui, I wonder if you guys have heard that we will be getting a deputy station chief next Monday?”Cao Feng sat on his seat and asked the three people standing in front of him.
He hadn't forgotten about his visit to his second uncle's house yesterday.
Since his second uncle told him to chase away the deputy station chief who was about to arrive, he had to make some preparations in advance.
Chen Daniu was in charge of the warehouse, Wang Qianjun was in charge of the finance, and Li Kui was in charge of the sales. As long as he controlled them, it was equivalent to controlling the entire station.
As for the matter of chasing away the deputy station chief who was about to arrive, he planned to leave it to the three of them. He would first let the three of them test how high the other party's rank was.
"Station Chief, we've heard about it. What do you want to do? Just say the word, and the three of us promise to complete the task you gave us beautifully.”
"Yes, station chief, go ahead! What do you want us to do?"
Chen Daniu and Li Kui spoke one after another to express their loyalty and their stand.
Wang Qianjun started to think quickly as the two of them spoke.
Since yesterday afternoon, there had been rumors in the station that a deputy station chief was coming to take over the old station chief's position.
He also heard that Cao Feng borrowed the old stationmaster's bicycle and left the grain and oil station not long after the old stationmaster returned from a meeting at the district bureau yesterday.
As for where Cao Feng would go after he left? To do what?
He didn't need to guess to know that Cao Feng was going to find his second uncle, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, Cao Weiguo, to discuss countermeasures.
Today, Cao Feng came to work early in the morning and called the three of them to his office.
It was obvious that Cao Feng was dissatisfied with the deputy station chief who was about to arrive. He was prepared to make a move on him and chase him away.
After Chen Daniu and Li Kui expressed their loyalty, Wang Qianjun asked,""Station Chief, give me a week. I promise that the deputy station chief who hasn't come yet will obediently pack up and leave.”
"Qianjun, are you sure?" Cao Feng looked at Wang Qianjun in surprise.
He had never thought that Wang Qianjun, who looked rather dull, would be able to guess his thoughts.
Moreover, he even said that he would chase her away within a week.
" Station Chief, I'm very sure."
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you." After Cao Feng finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Daniu and Li Kui and said,"Daniu, Li Kui, the two of you can also participate in this matter.”
"The three of you, remember this. Whoever manages to get this done cleanly and neatly will be promoted to my current position after I take over the position of the old station master next year.”Cao Feng praised Wang Qianjun, Chen Daniu, and Li Kui.
Of course, he wasn't trying to draw a big pie that he couldn't eat.
He really wanted to promote one of Wang Qianjun, Chen Daniu, and Li Kui to be his assistant or deputy station chief after he became the station chief.
That way, he would have more leisure in the future.
"Station Chief, don't worry. We promise to complete the mission.”Wang Qianjun, Chen Daniu, and Li Kui replied excitedly.
Deputy station chief!
This position was too tempting for them.
Under normal circumstances, if they did not have the opportunity, they might not be able to sit on the position of deputy station chief even after they retired.
Now, the opportunity was right in front of them. As long as they could think of a way to get rid of the incoming deputy station chief, Cao Feng would take over the position of deputy station chief after the old station chief retired next year. The position of deputy station chief would be one of the three of them.
Therefore, one could imagine how excited the three of them were now. They wanted to chase away the deputy station chief who was about to arrive.
"Okay, go! Don't leave any evidence behind when you're doing things. After all, the other party was sent by Bureau Chief Feng.”
"Chief, we know that we will not leave any evidence behind.”
"Oh right, Li Kui, a person called Xu Damao will come to our grain and oil station in the afternoon to buy 20 catties of white flour.”
"Alright, station chief, I will arrange it.”
