Chapter 175: Buying Horse Bones with a Thousand Gold

"Xiaoyu, go make a pot of good tea." Zhou Peng walked inside and ordered casually, and took Du Fei directly into the upper house.

Du Fei walked in and looked at the yard silently.

This is a small three-sided courtyard with a total of three main rooms, plus left and right wing rooms, and no back house on the south side.

There is nothing to see in the courtyard. It is similar to the large courtyards of this era, a little dilapidated and dirty.

But once you enter the house, it is suddenly different.

There are modern Soviet-style furniture, sofas, coffee tables, ceiling fans and vases. The latest long-tube fluorescent lamps are hung on the roof. The terrazzo floor seems to be waxed, and it reflects light when the light shines.

Originally, Du Fei thought that his house was good, but compared with Zhou Peng's, it was obviously more simple and low-key.

"Brother Zhou, your house is really good! It really opened my eyes." Du Fei sat down and complimented with a smile, but he was a little confused in his heart.

This place is obviously Zhou Peng's outer house.

What does he mean by bringing himself here? Is it simply a sign of closeness, or is there another deeper meaning?

At this time, the woman named Xiaoyu brought the tea, and like in the old society, she bowed and left.

"Brother Zhou, you..." Du Fei smiled and showed an expression that all men understand.

Zhou Peng also smiled, without commenting, and asked, "Brother, your business has come here, it's time to reveal it."

Du Fei simply took out the note in his pocket and pushed it in front of Zhou Peng, "Brother Zhou, take a look at this first."

Zhou Peng is indeed an expert in material supply. His eyes quickly scanned the note and he guessed it immediately.

He looked up at Du Fei and said, "Unplanned timber of the Forestry Bureau? How much?"

Du Fei smiled and took the note back.

Although this note was not written by him, it had Jiang Donglai's notes, so it couldn't be left here casually.

Du Fei folded the note and put it in his pocket

, while lowering his voice, "Fourteen train cars."

Zhou Peng's face changed when he heard it.

Fourteen carloads of wood is not a small amount. Fortunately, it is a public-to-public transaction, and the procedures are complete.

Zhou Peng thought about it for a while, slapped his thigh and said, "I'll take this job! But the price..."

Du Fei immediately waved his hand to interrupt him, "Brother Zhou, I'm just here to make some connections. You can discuss the specific rules after we meet."

Zhou Peng nodded and said, "That's good, so that we don't have to argue over a few melons and dates."

Du Fei smiled, which was considered as tacit agreement.

In fact, he didn't know the market at all, nor did he know the bottom line of Jiang Donglai's comrade, so there was no way to talk.

Then the two agreed on a time and place, and they didn't mention this matter anymore. Instead, they drank tea and chatted, talking about everything, and they had a great time.

In the middle, they changed a cup of tea and chatted for more than an hour before returning to the unit.

It was almost noon, and Du Fei told Sun Lan about Zhou Peng's situation and asked her to convey it to Jiang Donglai.

As for the next step of the negotiation, Du Fei would not participate in it. He would let Jiang Donglai and his comrades go directly to Zhou Peng.

Before twelve o'clock, Sun Lan left in a hurry without waiting for the end of get off work.

Du Fei did not take this matter too seriously.

Since Zhou Peng agreed to this matter, it was basically close.

He has been reciting the little red book with all his strength these two days, copying it over and over again, and then memorizing it silently until he knows it by heart.

Although the little red book is not big, it also has tens of thousands of words. It takes hard work to recite all of them and make them easy to use.

Du Fei dare not be lazy about this.

Fortunately, it is still early now, so there is no need to rush.

On the contrary, Zhu Ting has not only been dragged by Director Wang to attend meetings everywhere these two days, but also has to be busy writing the year-end summary.

As the academic representative of the entire street office, this kind of writing work cannot be avoided anyway.

Wait until the end of get off work in the evening.

Du Fei pushed his bicycle out, ready to go back to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the office, he saw Lei Laoliu squatting and smoking not far away.

Du Fei frowned, and he found that Lei Laoliu liked to squat at the door.

Last time he went to the courtyard, he was afraid of disturbing his sleep. Now he was at the office door, why didn't he go in?

Du Fei pushed his bicycle over and saw five or six cigarette butts on the ground. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

When Lei Laoliu saw Du Fei coming, he quickly stood up and threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and grinned, "Leader Du~"

Du Fei was not standing at the office door, and motioned him to talk while walking.

Lei Laoliu hurriedly pushed his bicycle to catch up.

Du Fei said, "Lao Lei, I have already notified Mr. Wei about the matter, so you don't need to make another trip."

Lei Laoliu nodded and said, "Hey~ I know. That... this time it's not about Mr. Wei's business."

"Oh?" Du Fei glanced at him.

Lei Laoliu laughed dryly and said, "That, it's Lao Yang..."

Du Fei still remembered that it was a carpenter who had built his house at the beginning, and his craftsmanship was quite good.

"What happened to Lao Yang?" Du Fei asked.

Lei Laoliu sighed, "Lao Yang's husband got an acute illness. Neither of them are workers, and they don't have public medical care..."

Du Fei knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

In this era, although the price of medical care is very low, it is difficult for people who are not included in the public medical system to get a serious illness.

Du Fei immediately asked, "How much do you need?"

Lei Laoliu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Fifty, fifty should be enough."

Du Fei stopped and said, "Wait here, I'll go back."

He had only taken a few steps after saying these words.

Du Fei returned to the street office, pretending to go back to the office to get money, and took out a hundred yuan from his personal space.

Although he didn't know what disease Lao Yang's wife had, if it was twenty or thirty yuan, Lei Laoliu could help, so there was no need to ask him.

After a while, Du Fei came back and stuffed Lei Laoliu with sixty big unity notes, "Lao Lei, you and Lao Yang are old brothers, you should help more with this matter, people are more important than anything else."

Lei Laoliu couldn't help but tremble when he got the money.

In fact, he was more or less desperate to ask Du Fei for help.

He knew that Du Fei had the ability to help, but he had no idea whether the other party was willing to help.

After all, Du Fei and Lao Yang, except for occasionally meeting each other during the days of repairing the house, really didn't have any friendship, and it was even a stretch to say that they knew each other.

Under such circumstances, Lei Laoliu also felt abrupt to borrow money from others.

But he still came.

Firstly, there are not many people who can take out so much money at once; secondly, he also wants to test Du Fei's character and tolerance, so that he can follow Du Fei in the future, whether he will be devoted to him or be cautious and take the money to do things.

Although Du Fei didn't know what Lei Laoliu was thinking.

But he threw out a hundred yuan at once, in fact, for Lei Laoliu to see.

The meaning is very clear, Lao Yang, who has nothing to do with me, I am willing to help him when he encounters problems. If you, Lei Laoliu, have problems, then it's clear!

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as buying a horse's bones with a lot of money.
