Chapter 35: Xu Damao's envy and admiration

  Chapter 35 Xu Damao's Envy and Admiration

  The definition of scarce ingredients often changes according to the current situation.

  For example, in the past, when life was not too difficult, the supply of various materials was not too tight, and meat was also available.

  Jiang Ping'an and the others will be responsible for getting some difficult things like bear paws and forest frogs.

  In the past one or two years, it has been different. It is good to get some unplanned bacon, ham and hen.

  Jiang Ping'an and his procurement team have a special small office, which is next to Director Chen's office.

  Director Chen is also the immediate superior leader of their group.

  The office is empty.

   Needless to say, the other two must have gone outside to show their skills.

   Unplanned things can be obtained, and each buyer has his own way.

   Leaders and colleagues also have a tacit understanding not to ask questions, which is a very taboo thing.

  Jiang Ping'an entered the office, turned around and came out again, then walked to the next door, opened the door and went in.

   "Director, it's too cold in our office, we need a stove, otherwise the days will be too difficult!"

  Director Chen, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head and laughed angrily.

  He smiled and said, "Should I give you another daughter-in-law? Responsible for serving tea and water?"

   "This is the best, the director just understands me." Jiang Pingan laughed and said, walked to the desk and sat down.

  Jiang Pingan picked up the Huazi that was on the table, took one and handed it over, and took one himself.

  The remaining cigarettes and matches were in his pockets.

  Director Chen was about to scold him a few words, but when he saw that the cigarettes and matches were gone, he gasped in distress.

   "You boy, hurry to the countryside, once you come back, my smoke will be harmed by you once!"

  Jiang Ping'an laughed.

   After taking a breath of smoke, he discussed: "Director, what I just said is true."

   "The office is really cold, give us a stove!"

   Director Chen took a puff of cigarette, thought for a while, and said:

   "If you can get two hares next time, I will match them with you!"

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and replied, "Then it's a deal!"

  Director Chen said: "It's a deal! By the way, Lao Jiang will celebrate his father's birthday at noon tomorrow, do you want to go?"

  Jiang Pingan drinks a lot, and every time he goes out for a drink, Director Chen likes to take him with him.

  Jiang Pingan didn't even think about it, so he replied: "Go, why not go, I happen to have something to do with him!"

   "What's the matter?" Director Chen asked curiously.

  Jiang Ping'an said: "It's just a sister from the same village in my hometown. A man died not long ago."

   "Now she is working as a welder for a man. The work is dirty and tiring, and she has to learn slowly."

   "She is a woman with four children, and life is hard."

   "So I begged to come here, I want to change to a lighter job, so that I can have energy to take care of the children."

  Director Chen asked suspiciously: "How do you find Old Jiang?"

   "Which unit does your sister from the same village belong to? Wouldn't it be easier to transfer to our factory?"

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's from the machine repair factory, a subsidiary of our factory."

   "My sister has studied tailoring for many years, so it would be better to transfer to Lao Jiang's garment factory!"

  “As soon as I go to work, I can quickly adapt, and I don’t have to learn from scratch.”

  Director Chen nodded and said, "That's true. If you have tailoring skills, it's more suitable to go to a garment factory."

   "Really? Originally, I planned to find Lao Jiang privately." Jiang Ping'an said.

   "Since he is going to treat tomorrow, I will tell him about it by the way."

   This matter must be done well in advance, and the transfer work cannot be completed in a short while.

   If Lao Jiang doesn't have a chance here, Jiang Ping'an can find another unit, so that he can be orderly.

   "Okay, I will also help to mention it when the time comes, this matter is easy to handle." Director Chen nodded and smiled.

   After a pause, he added: "You are only responsible for drinking him under the table."

  Jiang Pingan smoked another cigarette and handed it over, laughing:

   "Then I will thank the director first. After the matter is completed, I will send an old hen to make up for my sister-in-law!"

   "Fuck off, I'll make it up if you want it, your sister-in-law is not short of it!" Director Chen took the cigarette and cursed with a smile.

  …

   Come out of Director Chen's office.

  Jiang Ping'an saw at the end of the corridor, Xu Damao coming out of a room.

   "Xu Damao, bring two cups of hot water!" Jiang Ping'an yelled.

  Xu Damao glared at him, and was about to refuse, when Jiang Pingan took out Huazi and waved it.

  Xu Damao immediately turned his anger into joy, and replied loudly: "Wait, come right away!"

  Jiang Pingan smiled and returned to the office.

   Find a cloth and wipe the dust off his desk and chair.

   Soon, Xu Damao opened the door and came in.

   "You guys can do it, this is Huazi!" Xu Damao said with a smile while holding two cups of hot tea.

  Jiang Pingan threw the cloth aside, sat down, took out a cigarette, threw one to Xu Damao, and said with a smile:

   "I just got it from our director, and it's not warm yet!"

  Xu Damao took the cigarette, took out a match and lit it for Jiang Pingan first, and then lit it himself.

  After taking a deep breath and exhaling the smoke, Xu Damao gave a thumbs up, with envy on his face, and praised:

   "My buddy, if I don't admire you, I just admire you for having a good relationship with the leaders and being able to play together!"

   It should be said that he did not fawn on the leader, and often accompanied the leader to drink.

   But no matter how much he flatters him, even if he vomits blood in his stomach after drinking, the leader has something good to do, and he doesn't think about him.

   While Xu Damao was puzzled, he was also very frustrated.

  Jiang Pingan waved his hand, and said modestly: "Da Mao, you are serious, I am not at the same level as you."

   "You eat and drink with the factory manager and deputy factory manager on weekdays. You are much better than me!"

   "On weekdays, I spend most of my time with leaders at the section chief and director levels. I really can't compare to you."

  Xu Damao was proud for a few seconds, then he was puzzled:

   "Then why do you always get good things in the factory, but I don't?"

   "It's like the radio ticket you just got. I asked Deputy Director Li before, but he just refused to give it to me."

  Jiang Pingan took a puff of smoke, waved his hand and said, "I don't understand this, the leader naturally has his own considerations."

   "Fucking consideration!" Xu Damao complained.

   "I think they have blind eyes, they always can't see my good side."

  Jiang Ping'an smiled, but didn't answer, took the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

   "Spit! What kind of broken tea are you brewing? Why is it all broken?" Jiang Pingan vomited several times and cursed.

  Xu Damao said angrily: "Don't be ignorant, you boy, this is a high broken one.

   "For ordinary people, I'm still reluctant to make it for him to drink!"

  Jiang Pingan threw the cup on the table, frowned and said:

   "I don't care, just make me a new cup, good tea, not bad ones!"

   "You're really hard to take care of, where can I find good tea for you?" Xu Damao asked with black lines.

  Jiang Pingan glared at him, got up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll look for it right away!"

   As he spoke, he walked out.

   A few minutes later, Jiang Pingan came in with a box of tea and asked Xu Damao:

   "Authentic Xinyang Maojian, is it so hard to find?"

  Xu Damao was dumbfounded, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get it?"
