Chapter 450 He Daqing Returns
At the beginning, when they were in partnership dealing in televisions, Xu Damao asked Yan Bugui many times to persuade He Yuzhu to join. It was a pity that the guy did not get on board. Otherwise, he would be like Yi Zhonghai and his gang, a penniless man who had lost all his family fortune.
The channel for Yan Bugui and his team to smuggle home appliances was established by Xu Damao. Unfortunately, Xu Damao, the original shareholder, was kicked out. He himself did not expect this.
If he could make money with Xu Damao in a stable way, the business would probably still be going on. However, killing the hero is an old tradition. Later, Pinxixi defeated Taobao, and someone made great efforts in it.
The next morning, after Xu Damao packed up, he took out a dozen coins from the drawer and put them into the inner pocket of his clothes before walking out. The purpose of his trip was very clear, which was to go to Baocheng to pick up He Daqing.
The journey from Sijiucheng to Baocheng is more than 150 kilometers. If it were now, even if it was a K-train, it would take less than two hours. If you pay extra and change to a G-train, it would take half an hour.
However, today Xu Damao boarded the train at 9:30 in the morning and it departed on time at 10 o'clock. As the train was delayed due to the stop, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Damao arrived in Baocheng.
If we calculate based on the departure time and the time when Xu Damao arrived at the station, the train's speed is about 37 km/h. If we subtract the time of the stopover, the speed of this train is about 50-60 km/h.
At this time, there were also diesel locomotives that could reach speeds of over 100 km/h, but it was obvious that the train Xu Damao was on was not one of them. It was just an ordinary steam locomotive. The locomotive kept making a humming sound all the way, emitting thick smoke and dragging the heavy carriages forward.
However, it won’t be long before this coal-fired locomotive will be phased out. The entire railway system is about to enter the era of diesel locomotives. However, who would have thought that after the millennium, diesel locomotives would also be gradually and ruthlessly phased out, and electric cars would be the future. The development of the times has never changed based on personal will.
Without rushing to find He Daqing, Xu Damao found a steamed bun stall nearby after leaving the train station and ordered two donkey meat steamed buns for himself to satisfy his stomach first.
You don't have to make it yourself, but it tastes delicious. However, the premise is that your wallet has to bear it.
After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Damao took out the address of He Daqing that he had inquired about from his pocket, asked the stall owner for the address, and then walked towards his destination.
In this era without maps and navigation, all you have to do is rely on your mouth. Obviously, these are not difficult for Xu Damao.
After a while, Xu Damao arrived at the hometown of the White Widow. No, to be more precise, it was the hometown of her ex-husband. After her husband died, the White Widow went to the city of Sijiu to make a living, and that's when she met He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai and others.
In the end, he chose He Daqing, the cook who never starved even in a famine, to help him.
Now, facts have proved that her original choice was right. Since He Daqing came, her two sons have not starved even in times of famine, and they are fat and white.
However, now that her two sons have grown up and started their own families, He Daqing, the old ox, can no longer pull their family's cart.
What she had to do now was to squeeze out all the value from He Daqing first, and then get rid of this useless old man. In this family, not only she but also her two sons had this idea.
He Daqing's relationship with the two sons of the White Widow was not very good. The reason for this was that the two boys wanted to learn cooking from He Daqing.
However, He Daqing was a man of beauty. He could still distinguish the important from the unimportant. This was the capital of his livelihood. How could he just give it to the bastard of the White Widow and her ex-husband? If the White Widow gave him another child in the next few years, it would be fine to pass it on to this child.
Now, He Daqing, who has retired, is being exploited in this family. When all the money on him is almost squeezed out, the next step is to be kicked out of this family.
Just then, Xu Damao came to the slum where the White Widow lived. Just when he was about to ask where He Daqing lived, he heard someone calling He Daqing's name.
"He Daqing, just tell me, are you going to give me the money today or not?"
When Xu Damao heard the sound, he looked and saw He Daqing squatting in the corner, smoking his pipe. He did not respond to the yelling of the woman in front of him.
Looking at He Daqing's familiar face, he has only aged a little over the past few decades, but he has not changed at all. If it weren't for He Daqing's gray hair, Xu Damao would have thought that this was still the same He Daqing in the courtyard! There was no way, his recognition was too high, just like his own.
"Now you are the one who takes my monthly pension. Where can I get money for you?"
"Hmph, haven't you been making money by serving banquets outside these years? Don't think I don't know that with your skills, He Daqing, serving banquets in Baocheng costs a full three dollars, not to mention other things."
"Over the years, my monthly income has been much more than your salary, but you have never given me this money."
"Didn't I tell you that all this money should be sent to my son and daughter in Beijing?"
"Humph, when we left, your idiot was already 16 years old. Now, he has reached adulthood. Does he still need your support? Who are you trying to fool?"
"Now my second son needs money for his wedding, and you say you don't have any? What do you mean?"
Xu Damao was watching with great interest. He was relieved that the old man had not had a good life in recent years. However, Xu Damao had no intention of going forward to help.
At this moment, He Daqing looked at the old and ugly White Widow in front of him, and his heart was calm. At this moment, White Widow could no longer arouse any interest in him. It can only be said that time is a butcher's knife! No one can escape this knife.
Finally, when Xu Damao returned, there were two people. Yes, Xu Damao brought He Daqing back with him.
After the White Widow left, no one knew what Xu Damao said to He Daqing, but He Daqing agreed to go back to Sijiu City with him.
I wonder what kind of expressions will the white widow, who discovered that He Daqing was missing, and the people in her 95th courtyard in Nanluoguxiang have when they see He Daqing returning tomorrow morning.
