Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Qin Dabao waved Liu Xiangmei over. Now Qin Dabao had completely conquered the old people in the police station, especially Liu Xiangmei, who admired him very much.

Dabao took out an ordinary Zhonghua cigarette and handed it to Liu Xiangmei, then took one in his mouth and stuffed the rest into Liu Xiangmei's mouth.

"Old Liu, what's up with that Gou Fugui? A drunkard?"

"Well, Lao Gou is also a miserable man. He joined the army in 1947 and went through life and death in those years. He finally survived and became a platoon leader. Later, his unit was assigned to a border outpost, so he came back to visit his family.

His family found him a wife who was seven or eight years younger than him. They were together for less than a month when Lao Gou returned to the army.

His wife was at home, and before the New Year, she had an affair with a movie projector from the steel mill. Two months ago, they were discovered and blocked in the house. Lao Gou's family wrote a letter to tell Lao Gou about this. Lao Gou was very upset and went to the army with the letter.

When the army saw this, what could they do? The soldiers were guarding the border in the wind and snow, and now there was a fire in their backyard? I heard that the morale of the army was unstable at the time, and many people asked to be discharged from the army. The army sent people down and arrested the person who showed the movie. I heard that this matter..." Liu Xiangmei pointed to the sky: "The high-ranking officers were alarmed and issued an order. I guess this person who showed the movie will be punished. He will definitely be shot. Lao Gou was too embarrassed to stay in the army. He submitted a report to be discharged from the army and returned to the local area. He also divorced his wife and was assigned to our station. From the day he arrived, he was drunk and scolded the former director Zhao. After that, no one paid any attention to him."

Qin Dabao was surprised to find that this wasn't Xu Damao's version. Unexpectedly, the other protagonist of the story was right before his eyes. He nodded and patted Liu Xiangmei on the shoulder: "Okay, I understand. Go help Tutu and the others tie up Wang Shanxiang and his wife. It's almost time for dinner."

"Oh, okay."

Qin Dabao looked at Sun Qian. Sun Qian snorted and turned his head away without paying any attention to him. He was angry because he didn't give him the cigarette.

Qin Dabao curled his lips and cursed, "You're such a jerk." He walked to the motorcycle and took out a box of canned beef and a box of canned peaches from the trunk. He took out a bottle of canned peaches from the box and threw it to Sun Qian.

"Fatty, catch it."

When Sun Qian took it and looked at it, he immediately became happy and his anger disappeared.

Qin Dabao ignored him and came to Zuo Mingyue's door and called out, "Zuo Mingyue, Zuo Mingyue."

Zuo Mingyue opened the door, and two little girls followed her legs.

Dabao handed the can over and said, "Save it for when you're hungry tonight."

He was careful and careful. Last time he knew that Zuo Mingyue was of Semitic descent, even though she said she had no dietary restrictions, she didn't eat a single bite of pork. Knowing that she still had some taboos about it, he specially left the canned beef for her. Now in his heart, Zuo Mingyue had surpassed Lu Tong and Lu Li, and was only ranked behind Niu Niu and Wen Wen. This status was already not low.

Zuo Mingyue smiled and nodded, without pretending to refuse. This was Dabao's favorite character, real and unpretentious.

Dabao rubbed the two little girls' heads and said, "Just eat as much as you can. Don't save. I've left several boxes for you. When this matter is resolved, I'll go hunting in the mountains. Tell me what you want to eat then."

"Hunting?" Zuo Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she pulled Dabao's sleeve and said coquettishly, "I'll go too."

Who can stand this little noise? Qin Dabao's face flushed, and he kept saying: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there. Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Qin Dabao washed his hands and changed his clothes before walking out of his office and dormitory. He was not wearing a uniform jacket, but only a white shirt with his cuffs buttoned up, navy blue police pants, and black leather shoes. He looked very gentle and elegant.

No one who saw him would have thought that such a teenager could shoot and kill two armed gangsters without changing his expression. The definition of gangster is correct. No matter whether it is now or decades later, anyone who dares to raise a gun to the public security police is a gangster, no matter what the reason, and can fight back immediately.

Liu Tiechui, sweating profusely, led an old man into the yard. When he saw Qin Dabao, he shouted, "Director, everyone on the street is saying that Deputy Director Qi of the commune has been arrested..."

Qin Dabao stopped and nodded: "I see, I caught it right where you were standing." He gestured with his chin: "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is the carpenter. He's the best craftsman in this area."

The old man looked cautious, rubbing his cracked hands: "Hello, leader, what should we do?"

Qin Dabao smiled and said, "There are still many things to do, Yuxiu, Yuxiu."

"Hey, here I am." Yuxiu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of steaming buns.

"How many cabinets do you and Yuyun Yuxue need?"

"What cabinet?" Yuxiu was confused and stood there holding the basin. She didn't understand what the director meant.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't ask you anymore. Master, what's your name?"

"Oh, I don't dare to be the leader. I'm not allowed to call myself Wang."

"Master Wang, check the rooms and make two cabinets, a washbasin stand, and two large wooden tubs for bathing in each room. Use good wood, and make them delicate and sturdy."

"Huh?" Liu Tiechui was startled. He quickly pulled Qin Dabao aside and swallowed hard, "My dear director, we have no money left in our account. When Director Zhao left, he gave away all the money in the account as bonuses."

Qin Dabao frowned: "How much money is left in the account now?"

Liu Tiechui was embarrassed: "There are still twenty-one yuan and seventy-six cents left."

"Oh my god!" Qin Dabao was furious. Such a big commune police station, and only got such a small amount of money? This predecessor really didn't treat his bean bun as dry food.

"Where do we get the money for our salaries and daily expenses?"

"Salaries are paid by the bureau, and daily expenses are allocated by the commune, but it's very little, just enough for a few people to eat. In the past, Director Zhao had to beg and plead for money, bit by bit, to get it back."

"Oh..." Qin Dabao understood. It was not the fault of the former Director Zhao. The money was originally the petty cash reserves saved by others. He did not dare to put it into his own pocket because that would be corruption. It would be better to give it out in the form of bonuses. Firstly, he could do a favor and secondly, he could get some money himself.

He patted Liu Tiechui on the shoulder and said, this is a good material for a butler.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money. You can hand over all the accounts to Zuo Mingyue later. From now on, the household registration, finance, and personnel will all be under her control. Lin Yuxiu will listen to her."

Liu Tiechui didn't have any objection. He would retire in a few years and would rather have less trouble than more. He agreed happily.

Qin Dabao called to Master Wang: "Also, you have to build two toilets for me. They need to be sealed well. Is that a problem?"

Master Wang, who was eager to do as much work as possible, agreed repeatedly: "No problem, no problem."

Xiao Yuyun and Yuxue came over, each holding half a steamed bun made of two-grain flour and a piece of duck meat. Qin Dabao quickly squatted down, and the two little girls rushed to stuff the buns into Dabao's mouth.

"Brother, eat meat and steamed buns, they are delicious."

Qin Dabao hugged them in his arms, took a bite of the steamed bun, and said softly: "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. We haven't eaten steamed buns for a long time."

"We have never eaten such delicious meat."

Qin Dabao's nose felt a little sour, and he nudged their little heads with his forehead: "Then brother promises that from now on, you will eat white flour buns and meat every day, okay?"

"Okay." The two little girls cheered.

Zuo Mingyue held the vegetable bowl and stared blankly. After a while, she smiled and carried the bowl into the house.

Master Wang scratched his face and said, "Um, Boss, is there anything else to do?"

"Yes," Qin Dabao stood up and said, "Come with me."

He brought Master Wang to Zuo Mingyue's room. Zuo Mingyue followed in and looked at him curiously.

"All the rooms in this row should have windows that are larger. Also, this room and the one next to it should have a back door."

Qin Dabao smiled at Zuo Mingyue, then walked around the house and came to the back. Zuo Mingyue had not been to the back yet, and when she saw the fruit trees and the pond, she couldn't help cheering. It was so beautiful.

Qin Dabao drew a circle with his hands: "Pave the stone slabs here and put up the grape trellis."

Master Wang grinned and said, "Oh my God! I'm just a carpenter, how come I have to do the work of a bricklayer?" But luckily, these were simple jobs that Dabao mentioned, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to take them on.

"This pond, from here to the middle of the water, build a wooden corridor, build a wooden platform in the middle of the water, with a canopy, and surround the platform with wooden railings."

Master Wang was really about to cry this time. He originally just wanted to do some simple carpentry work, but he didn't expect to get such a big order.

"Boss, I can do your job, but I can't finish it even if I die of exhaustion."

Qin Dabao looked at him strangely: "I didn't say you can do it alone, so just tell me, how many people will it take? How many days can it be completed? Money is not a problem."

Master Wang calculated: "It will take at least four people and ten days to finish the job. If I include labor and materials, I'll get ninety yuan."

"I'll give you 150 yuan and finish the job in three days. I don't care how many people you use as long as the quality and quantity of the work are guaranteed."

"A lot? How much? One hundred and fifty? Boss, you are not kidding me, right?"

Qin Dabao frowned: "Do you think I'm joking? Just tell me if it's okay or not?"

"Okay! Of course I can, Boss. Can I have a small request?"

"What request?"

"Leader, can we not ask for money? I know your leader has connections and can get food. Can you give us some food as wages?"

Qin Dabao looked at Master Wang's eager eyes and scratched his head. "Isn't this ridiculous? There's over a hundred thousand yuan in this space and I can't spend it."

"Okay, I'll give you 400 kilograms of cornmeal, and you can make me a few beds, okay?"

"Great, that's great!" Master Wang was overjoyed. Four hundred kilograms of grain? Now one hundred and fifty yuan could only buy a little over one hundred kilograms of grain on the black market. This would make him a fortune.

Qin Dabao turned around and said softly to Zuo Mingyue, "I asked Master Wang to make the cabinets and washstand, and also replace the bed. What else do you think is missing?"

Zuo Mingyue happily shook her head. This was beyond her expectations. She was a little worried: "I heard from Lao Liu that the institute doesn't have much money. I still have more than 300 yuan. I'll give it to you first. Don't ask others for money. If it's not enough, I still have the money my parents left for me."
