Chapter 723: Old Xu's Gift
After leaving Du Mingqin's house, Lu Feifei subconsciously wanted to find Gao Yan.
But thinking that Gao Yan had already gone home from get off work.
It was not appropriate for her to find him at this time, so she suppressed this idea.
At this moment.
Gao Yan's family of three had already eaten dinner.
They were sitting in front of the stove listening to the radio.
"Wife, is the situation with my father-in-law and mother-in-law better?"
Gao Yan asked.
Li Mengyao said: "My father wrote to me a few days ago. They have received relief food. The difficulties at home have been overcome. We don't need to send anything anymore in the future!"
Hearing this, Gao Yan nodded secretly. It seems that the father-in-law's family is not greedy. If it were a greedy one, he would be eager for you to give more money and things. How could he take the initiative to refuse to help!
"How about this, I will send some bacon, smoked pheasant and smoked hare to the father-in-law's family tomorrow, so that they can have a good year!" Gao Yan thought for a while and said.
Now his family has a lot of bacon, dozens of kilograms, and there are more than 20 smoked pheasants and rabbits. In addition, there are some other game and dried fish.
In general, the family is not short of meat.
This is the amount he exchanged with his neighbors and donated to the street office, otherwise there would be more.
"Husband, you are so nice!"
Hearing Gao Yan's words, Li Mengyao said with a moved face.
The next morning.
Gao Yan took his sister-in-law to the post office.
He sent ten kilograms of bacon, four smoked pheasants and rabbits each to his father-in-law's home. In addition, he also sent 10 kilograms of white flour and 20 kilograms of corn flour, as well as 30 yuan in cash.
With these things, his father-in-law's family will definitely have an enviable fat year.
Then.
Gao Yan brought his sister-in-law to Shichahai.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xu was there too.
He found Gao Yan and said, "Gao, you are here at the right time. An old friend of mine will come to Beijing soon. I plan to get a giant fish to entertain him. Can you get a giant fish?"
"If it were anyone else, there would be no chance, but you, Old Xu, are so nice. I will definitely get you a giant fish today!" Gao Yan patted his chest and said.
"I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Old Xu said happily, "As long as you get a giant fish, I won't treat you unfairly!"
"Then you wait!"
Gao Yan said confidently.
Then he started to smash the ice hole. The giant fish in Shichahai are also limited. After Gao Yan got a few before, he didn't get any more because he didn't want to get all the giant fish.
Now it's no problem for Old Xu to get one.
In two or three moves, Gao Yan smashed an ice hole.
He then helped his sister-in-law smash another one, and then he started fishing.
Two minutes later.
The first fish was pulled up. It was not a giant fish, but it was also five or six pounds, a big black carp.
A few minutes later, Gao Yan pulled up the second fish, which was a carp weighing more than three kilograms.
Unknowingly, half an hour had passed, and Gao Yan had caught a lot of fish, but none of them were giants.
"Gao boy, can you do it?"
Old Xu said anxiously.
"Hey, you need patience to catch giants. You are a big leader, but you don't have this much patience!"
Suddenly, Old Xu was speechless after being rebuked by Gao Yan.
Seeing Old Xu's frustrated look, Gao Yan laughed in his heart.
Ten minutes later.
Gao Yan finally caught a giant.
This giant weighed more than fifty kilograms, and was the second largest in Shichahai.
As for the first one, it was a big black fish, at least more than 70 kilograms.
It is not an exaggeration to be called the king of black fish.
"You are really good!"
Seeing Gao Yan really catch a giant, Old Xu couldn't help but praise excitedly. Worried that the giant would die, Old Xu had prepared a large wooden barrel in advance.
After the giant was pulled ashore, he immediately asked someone to take it back to raise it, after all, his old friend would not arrive in Beijing until tomorrow!
"Gao boy, I'll have someone send the things for you to your home tonight!"
"Okay!"
Gao Yan waved his hand disapprovingly.
Not long after Old Xu left, Gao Yan filled the two buckets he brought with fish.
He was not going to sell the fish today to the fisherman.
He planned to take it back and sell it to the neighbors in the courtyard.
Back to the courtyard.
Gao Yan asked his apprentice Yang Haijun to inform everyone and ask them if they would buy fish, 20 cents per pound, no tickets.
In the market, even if you need a ticket, the price of fish is more than 30 cents.
Gao Yan only charged 20 cents, which was a bargain for everyone.
Therefore, the two buckets of fish were sold out quickly.
Then he gave two yuan to his sister-in-law as pocket money, and gave one yuan to Yang Haijun as errand fee.
After selling the fish.
Gao Yan found an excuse to leave the courtyard.
But she went to Zhao Jingchu's place.
"Xiao Gao, why did you bring so many things again?"
Mother Zhao greeted Gao Yan warmly.
Although her daughter had no status with Gao Yan, this son-in-law was really good to them. Not only did he have endless white flour and meat, but he also didn't have to worry about anything.
The only thing that made her feel regretful was that her daughter had never gotten pregnant.
After all, a mother's status depends on her son!
Mother Zhao was from the old times, so it was normal for her to have such an idea.
After having lunch here.
Mother Zhao created an opportunity for Gao Yan and Zhao Jingchu to have a baby.
Unfortunately, her efforts were in vain.
However, Gao Yan was also happy with this.
After staying at Zhao's house until about five o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yan left reluctantly.
Back home.
He took his sister-in-law to cook dinner.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
After the sister-in-law opened the door, she found two people outside the door.
"Mengya, where is your brother-in-law? Someone is looking for him!"
Zhou Yugui asked.
"Brother-in-law, someone is looking for you!"
Gao Yan came out of the kitchen and his eyes fell on the young man in the Zhongshan suit. He immediately realized that it was something sent by Lao Xu.
"Comrade Gao Weiguo, this is what the leader asked me to send to you!"
The young man in the Zhongshan suit handed the things in his hand to Gao Yan.
"I really trouble you. I am cooking. Stay for dinner!" Gao Yan invited.
But the other party smiled: "Comrade Weiguo's kindness is appreciated. I am still waiting to go back and report to the leader!"
Send away Lao Xu's secretary.
Gao Yan looked at the things Lao Xu sent, and when he saw one of them, he was a little amused.
Lao Xu sent a lot of things, including a box of special Maotai, two packs of special cigarettes, two kilograms of foreign high-end candies, five kilograms of fruit and two Jinhua hams.
But the most precious thing is undoubtedly the bottle of kidney-tonifying medicinal wine.
But he sold this kidney-tonifying medicinal wine.
Now it was given to him as a gift by Old Xu.
And what does Old Xu mean by giving him kidney-tonifying medicinal wine? Does he think that his kidneys are not good at such a young age?
Is he underestimating him a little!
However, the value of these things is far greater than the value of the giant.
Gao Yan does not intend to take advantage of Old Xu, and will repay him when there is a chance.
Old Xu also came down from the battlefield, and naturally he has hidden injuries. This kidney-tonifying medicinal wine is mainly for kidneys, and has little effect on other parts of the body.
Find an opportunity to cure Old Xu's hidden injuries and let him live a few more years.
The fact that Old Xu gave a gift also caused quite a stir in the courtyard. After all, Old Xu's secretary came in a jeep.
These days, having a bicycle at home is already very remarkable, and those who can drive a jeep are definitely big leaders.
After all, the deputy director of the steel rolling mill is not qualified to have a car alone.
Only the factory director is qualified to have a jeep.
