Chapter 90: Examination

Looking at the four people acting like treasures, Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the account book and said: "Since it's divided, then I'll set the shares. My courtyard and house will be calculated as 70 yuan. Plus my principal of 1000 yuan, I want half the shares."

"Each of you four has 12.5% of the shares, meaning at the end of the year, if the profit is 100 yuan, you will be divided 12 yuan and 50 cents. But this profit will not be divided, and will be left in the account to renovate the western courtyard."

Li Xuewu saw that the few were listening carefully and continued to arrange tasks: "Need to buy four tricycles and five scales. Third Uncle, you go find tricycle coupons and scales. If there are none, go buy second-hand ones. After the procedures are down, ride the tricycles to collect waste products."

"Lao Biaozi, go to the street office tomorrow to find Director Wang. Be polite. That is my godmother. She will give you the procedures. Once you get the procedures, come to the rolling mill to find me, and I will take you to sign the contract."

"Guodong, you now pick out the customers you can definitely contact and whose purchasing power can be guaranteed. List them in a book, one page per household. The standard should be higher. Once this batch of goods is sold, we will withdraw from here. In the future, we will only go to customers who are sure to deliver goods, just using your collecting waste products as a cover."

"Er Hai'er, I have arranged a contact person in the Northeast, who is also a partner in the goods. He will communicate with you in secret letters. It won't be too frequent. Two or three letters a year is about enough. I will tell you the method of cracking secret letters in a while. If you have time, go to the mailroom at the alley entrance and take a look to see if there is a letter from your eldest brother. If there is, tell me after cracking it."

"There are only so many things for now. Before the procedures are down in these few days, you guys deal with the remaining supplies first. I will send a cart over tonight."

Looking at his watch, Li Xuewu saw that the three were starting to doze off again, so he didn't disturb them, greeted them, and walked out the door.

He rode his bicycle and flew all the way home.

Hearing his mother and grandmother say that the milk powder bought was quite good and the child liked to eat it, Li Xuewu felt relieved.

The little one was quite worry-free. Except for crying a few times when needing to change diapers and crying a few times when waking up, she was fine with anyone coaxing her at other times.

Li Xuewu looked at the time and hurriedly went to the cellar to get 25 jin of meat, and took some black fungus, daylily buds, and mushrooms from the space, and wrapped them in small bags.

He took out some red dates, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts, mixed them in a cloth bag, and finally packed them in a woven bag, tied them to the back seat of the bicycle, and rode toward Dong Wenxue's house.

It was agreed on Monday to be a guest at Dong's house on Sunday, so he couldn't break his promise.

Flying all the way, he arrived at Dong's house around 10:30.

The Dong family lived in a two-story small western-style building. This area was originally a residential area for the families of Japanese puppet enemy agents. The small building was built quite beautifully, with gray bricks and gray tiles. Now, intellectuals and leading cadres mostly lived here.

Li Xuewu pushed open the main gate of the small courtyard and walked in, set up the bicycle, carried the gifts on the back seat, and was about to knock on the door.

Where would he have thought that a group of children suddenly pushed the door open and ran out screaming, laughing and laughing.

Li Xuewu waited for the children to leave before walking in along the open door.

In the living room, the two families of Dong Wenxue and Xie Dajie were sitting on the sofa chatting. Seeing Li Xuewu carrying things in, Dong Wenxue stood up and said: "Xuewu, come here quickly, I will introduce you."

Li Xuewu hurriedly put the gifts on the side table by the door and kept apologizing: "Sorry, sorry, teacher, I'm late. Something happened at home, and I was delayed. I ran for the whole morning, making you teachers wait for me."

slkslk.

Xie Dajie smiled and said: "What are you being polite with your teacher for? Come in and get warm."

Dong Wenxue pulled Li Xuewu over and introduced him to a gentle middle-aged woman: "Comrade Han, this is the student I told you about, whom I accepted at the rolling mill. He is upright, progressive in thought, outstanding in ability, and what is even more commendable is that his literary foundation is not weak!"

Dong Wenxue introduced to Li Xuewu: "This is your teacher's wife, Han Laoshi, and this is Xie Dajie's husband, Director Ren, who works at the Municipal Committee."

Li Xuewu hurriedly bowed slightly to Han Laoshi to say hello, and also said hello to Director Ren, and also offered a cigarette. Director Ren smiled and took the cigarette but didn't smoke it.

Director Ren raised the cigarette in his hand and said: "Hahaha, Dong's family is decided by Han Laoshi. Her health is not good, and she can't smell cigarette smoke. This is a non-smoking area. If we want to smoke, we have to go to the courtyard!"

Li Xuewu followed "Hahaha" and laughed: "It seems that my teacher is a model husband who respects women just like you! I have to learn from you two."

As he spoke, he apologized to Han Laoshi: "Han Laoshi, please forgive me. It's my first time visiting, and I didn't know you couldn't smell smoke."

Han Laoshi had the characteristics of the intellectual women of the Republic of China, gentle, generous, and possessed cultivation and temperament.

"Xuewu, your Dong teacher praised you a lot. Don't be restrained here, treat it as your own home, sit down and talk."

Li Xuewu sat on the long sofa with Dong Wenxue.

These few were all interested in Li Xuewu, so they asked about Li Xuewu's past.

Han Laoshi clearly wanted to examine Li Xuewu, so she asked: "Xuewu, your Dong teacher said you also love reading and writing articles. Share with us your reading insights recently."

Li Xuewu knew that this was an examination, so he smiled at Han Laoshi, Xie Dajie, and the others and replied: "Thanks to Teacher Dong's wrong love, the words of praise are mostly because the teacher loves his students, and I still need the guidance and support of you elders."

Dong Wenxue smiled and waved his hand with the cigarette in his hand, signaling Li Xuewu to relax.

"You are also from an intellectual family, don't be restrained, just say it well."

The cigarette in his hand was never lit. It seemed he really respected Han Laoshi.

Li Xuewu paused for a moment, then said: "My father inherited the ancestral medical skills. I dare not say that he saved countless people, but he is also a kind and good doctor. And the words my grandfather taught my father were 'If you can't be a good prime minister, you will be a good doctor. In troubled times, you should pass on the family through farming and reading, practice medicine and ask for medicine, and help the bitter and save the difficult'."

"My father also educated and required us like this. You can have ambitions, don't have to be confined to medical skills, but you must read more."

Dong Wenxue and Xie Dajie knew about Li Xuewu's family background, and nodded after hearing Li Xuewu's words.

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "However, I was young and ignorant. There were many books in the family, but I only read a small part with my father when I was young. Later, I entered the military and saw the world, only to know that I read too late. The only thing I can do is not forget to read and learn in the military."

After saying this, Li Xuewu said again: "Barely as a reader, I have few opportunities to share my reading insights with the comrades around me. Today, I feel the opportunity given to me by Han Laoshi, sharing my reading insights. Although I dare not say that there are many books, at least there is a small handcart, right."

The three laughed when they heard Li Xuewu's humorous words.

Used a small joke to be polite to the few.

Li Xuewu then showed off: "Combining the books I read in the military with the books I read when I was young, I understand a truth, that is, readers must have ambitions."

"The moon is missing but the light is not changed, the arrow is broken but the steel is not changed. People with ambitions are confident and self-improving."

"The gentleman's capacity is not enough, the chest swallows a hundred rivers. People with ambitions have distant places in their hearts."

"The husband is not without tears, not sprinkled in parting. People with ambitions have deep feelings and long friendships."

"Encourage in time, time does not wait for people. People with ambitions will not waste time."

"Life dares to be righteous, who will discuss fame and fortune. People with ambitions look down on fame and fortune, and dare to think of serving the country."

"Draw the sword from the wormwood, people with ambitions are the most reliable force."

"I am willing to be a long pine with you teachers, and I am not willing to close the door and build a car to be a peach and plum." ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
