"Auntie, I'm sorry. I fell asleep just now.”Ye Chuan rubbed his eyes and stood up in embarrassment.
"Young man, are you buying electrical appliances at a high price?”The old lady asked with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie. We are a state-owned company. We will definitely give you a fair price.”
"Look at how much money I can charge for this radio.”The old lady pointed at a radio by her feet and asked.
Ye Chuan looked in the direction the old lady was pointing and saw an old-fashioned radio. He held it up and looked at it carefully.
The radio was quite heavy. It was made of walnut wood on both sides. The workmanship was not bad, but it had been used for too long and a thick layer of dust had accumulated behind it. He shook it and could hear the sound of parts inside. It was obviously a scrapped radio.
"Auntie, your radio has been scrapped and has no value to repair. I can only give you 1.5 cents!”
The old lady's eyes lit up. She did not expect the price to be much higher than she had expected. If this radio was disassembled and sold as scrap, it would be worth at most a few cents. The other party actually offered a price of 1.5 yuan. As expected, the state-owned unit was more reliable.
"Alright, then I'll sell it to you. This radio was bought for 50 yuan back then!”The old lady did not forget to add.
Ye Chuan smiled and didn't say anything. He took out a fifty cent bill and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady took the money and left, satisfied.
"Ye-ge, this broken thing is worth 1.5 yuan?”Fatty Han pursed his lips. He couldn't repair it, and he couldn't use it. It was no different from scrap.
"Of course it's worth it!" Ye Chuan smiled. After the system's repair, this was a brand new radio. It could be sold for at least 40 yuan. With a flip of his hand, the profit was close to 30 times, which was higher than his monthly salary.
Similar radio sets were sold in department stores and supply and marketing co-ops. Radios were cheap and almost every household had to have them. As long as they were repaired, they would be easy to sell.
Fatty Han didn't ask any more questions since he didn't understand. Seeing that it was almost time, he got on his tricycle and went back to the shop to get ready for dinner.
At this time, Director Wang of the street office was listening to her subordinate's report. In the morning, she sent people to visit the Siheyuan area. She was a little dissatisfied with the actions of Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui. Among them, Liu Haizhong was putting on airs, and the neighbors all expressed their dissatisfaction.
Director Wang also called the rolling mill in the morning to understand the report in detail. The final result was exactly the same as what he heard and Ye Chuan described.
Because of Liu Haizhong's report, the security department detained Ye Yongshun at the factory entrance in the morning and personally went to Ye Chuan's unit to inquire. Many people witnessed the incident and caused a very bad influence among the masses.
"This is too much! Was he using his status as a manager to satisfy his official craving?”Chief Wang slammed the table angrily.
Little Zheng, who was sent out to investigate, was also a little angry. His courtyard was not far from the courtyard house where Ye Chuan lived. He had heard about this before, but after asking in detail today, the matter was far more serious than he had heard.
"Director, the neighbors around the courtyard house can't stand it anymore, especially Liu Haizhong. He has his hands behind his back every day and acts like an old cadre.”
Chief Wang nodded. Anyway, his house was not far from the courtyard house. After dinner, he would go over and stop this unhealthy trend.
Liu Haizhong still didn't know that his position as the second uncle had come to an end. He had been in a good mood for the past two days, and he had almost forgotten about the matter of the notice of criticism a few days ago.
His eldest son, Liu Guangfu, had a boyfriend from another province. He heard that the other party's family was not bad. They even had a television at home and admired his son very much.
However, the woman was an only child, and the family asked Liu Guangfu to live in the woman's place after he got married. The Liu family did not need to pay a penny. The house, bicycle, and three turns and one ring were all provided.
What was the difference between this and marrying into the family? Although Liu Haizhong was extremely unwilling, his son nodded and agreed. Thinking that he still had two sons, he reluctantly agreed.
Liu Guangfu was already home when they got home that night. Liu Haizhong smiled and said to his wife,""Scramble two eggs tonight. Guangfu and I will have a drink.”
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment. Her husband had to stir-fry an egg every night to go with the wine. Other than her eldest son, Liu Guangfu, the other two could forget about eating a bite. It was the first time that she had stir-fried two eggs at once.
Liu Guangfu was not happy at all. He looked at his father several times, his mouth opened and closed, and he did not say anything.
Liu Haizhong did not seem to notice his son's hesitation. He smiled and said,"Why are you back so early today? Let's discuss with the in-laws as soon as possible and set a time for the wedding banquet! Then, she applied for leave from the factory so that she could attend the wedding banquet in the neighboring province. Work and live well there. Try to have a grandson as soon as possible. When the time comes, let your mother take care of your child for a few months!”
At this point, Liu Guangfu couldn't help but mutter,""Dad, I discussed it with Juan Zi's parents today.”
"Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Juan Zi's parents said that they won't be holding a wedding banquet in Beijing anymore. They also said that you're busy with work, so you don't have to apply for leave to go there.”
"What?" Liu Haizhong suddenly stood up. The whole hospital knew about his eldest son's marriage. If he didn't even hold a wedding banquet, where would he put his face as the second uncle?
"There's one more thing." Liu Guangfu whispered.
"If there's anything else, say it together!”Liu Haizhong was already a little angry.
"Juan Zi's parents said that in the future, my child and Juan Zi's child should take their family name.”Liu Guangfu's voice became softer.
Liu Haizhong felt dizzy. If it wasn't for the back of the chair, he might have fallen down.
Not holding a wedding banquet in the capital! He didn't want her and her husband to attend the wedding! Even the child didn't have the surname Liu with him!
Wasn't this just marrying into the family?
