Chapter 36 Dad, go do good deeds. There is a bicycle to take you there.

This was the second time he delivered food, and Jiang Daguo arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau canteen with ease.

After Master Tian weighed the goods and recorded the accounts, he issued an invoice to Jiang Daguo.

At this time, someone brought in several lifeless fish of different sizes.

Master Tian looked at the fish and shook his head helplessly, "Why do the fish you sent always look half dead?"

The man smiled awkwardly and explained, "The weather has been too hot recently, so all the fish are like this."

"Okay, okay, I'll reluctantly accept your fish this time. Don't give it to me again in the future." Although he was a little reluctant, Master Tian still accepted the fish and issued a receipt.

After the man left, Jiang Daguo stepped forward and said, "Master Tian, ​​we have a lot of fish like this in our village. If you want, I can send it to you at any time. I guarantee it's alive."

After delivering food twice and with his daughter's encouragement, Jiang Daguo's courage doubled.

He began to ask about business proactively.

After all, as my daughter said, they were not selling in large quantities, but only delivering goods on a small scale, which should not be considered as speculation.

If there really is speculation, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau will definitely not accept these items.

Master Tian knew very well that Jiang Daguo was acquainted with Deputy Director Hu, and this was the second time Jiang Daguo had delivered vegetables. Every time, the vegetables he delivered were very fresh, without any yellow or rotten leaves, and were always neatly arranged.

Master Tian likes this simple and honest country man from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, I feel at ease with you delivering it. You will be responsible for delivering the vegetables from now on. Tomorrow... Well, tomorrow is a holiday, so you can send five more fish next Monday. It doesn't matter what kind of fish it is, as long as one weighs two or three pounds. And you can still send the vegetables we delivered today." Master Tian nodded in response and reminded.

"No problem, it will be delivered on time next Monday!" Jiang Daguo agreed readily.

After receiving the receipt, Jiang Daguo took a bus back home.

He got up early and caught the first bus at six in the morning. When he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was just after eight o'clock.

Taking into account the time spent waiting for the bus, he returned home around eleven o'clock, just in time for lunch.

At this time, Liu Xihua had returned home and was busy making lunch with Aunt Jiang in the kitchen.

Jiang Daguo walked into the kitchen, stacked up two baskets and placed them in the corner.

When Aunt Jiang saw her son coming back, she asked casually, "Do you need to deliver food tomorrow?"

"They have a day off tomorrow, so we won't send them off. We'll do it the day after tomorrow." Jiang Daguo answered as he picked up the ladle, scooped up some water, and went outside to wash his hands.

"You take the bus back and forth every time, and the round-trip ticket money alone adds up to dozens of yuan a month! The few work points you earned in the production team would only be enough to pay for the tickets after saving them up for half a year!" Aunt Jiang couldn't help but complain.

She had heard before that it would cost one dollar and fifty cents to take a long-distance bus from the road in front of the village to City A, and another five cents to take a bus to the Civil Affairs Bureau after arriving at the station.

This way the round trip costs three dollars and ten cents.

She asked her youngest daughter to calculate carefully how much money she would spend on transportation every month.

She didn't know until she calculated it that she was really shocked.

If you deduct four Sundays from a month, the total cost of the trip would be 80.6 yuan.

The work points Jiang Daguo earned in the team were only 15 or 16 yuan a month, but Jiang Daguo didn't think it was a big deal.

He confidently retorted, "Don't worry, Mom. After deducting the bus fare, there is still some money left from the vegetable sales. Take today for example, after deducting the bus fare, there is still 5.5 yuan left! At least a dozen yuan can be earned in a month."

Hearing this, Liu Xihua said in surprise: "Ah? I can actually make so much money today?"

"Of course, today's dishes mainly include green beans, gourds, eggplants and tomatoes. These vegetables are really precious in City A! Especially the tomatoes, which are sold at 28 cents per pound! In our town, they are only sold at 1 cent per pound." Jiang Daguo said with emotion.

Liu Xihua was very happy when she heard that it was sold for a good price.

She secretly calculated that if she could continue delivering food like this for a long time, the family's income would definitely increase.

After all, delivering the vegetables only takes Jiang Daguo’s time in the morning, and he can still go to work in the fields in the afternoon, so it won’t delay anything in the fields.

This is equivalent to an additional income!
However, Aunt Jiang poured cold water on them mercilessly, "They are all empty tickets. We haven't received the money yet. Who knows if they will give it to us in the future?"

She tried to persuade him again, "Don't send it. Meizhi's husband owns a fish pond. Daguo, if you have time, go over and help out, feed the fish and so on. They will give you cash directly. Isn't this much better than you working so hard to deliver the food? And you can save the car fare!"

Aunt Jiang chattered on and on.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was held by Jiang Meilan and sat in the shade outside the kitchen to enjoy the cool breeze.

Listening to the conversation of the three people in the kitchen, she clenched her hands. Aunt Jiang was old-fashioned and afraid of being poor, so it was understandable that she was worried that she would not be able to get the money back after paying for the fare.

But asking Jiang Daguo to help Jiang Meizhi's family manage the fish pond was too calculating.

Jiang Meizhi and her husband have similar tempers. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. They both like to scheme, but Jiang Meizhi is unreasonable and will scheme and ask for things openly.

Her man appears to be kind on the surface, but he will never suffer any loss.

When relatives go to help, they are at most given a meal, and they are not paid.

It's okay to help once or twice, but it's not worth doing this for years.

Jiang Daguo has no shortage of food, so why should he work for free and only earn a bowl of rice?

All in all, it’s because the bus fare is too expensive.

It would be great if Jiang Daguo had a car.

Thinking of the car, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something.

[A fire broke out in the dormitory building of the bicycle factory in City A at about 12 noon on Monday, but the escape hatch at the back door of the dormitory building was locked. The deputy factory director was checking the hygiene in the dormitory building and was also locked inside.]

[If you open that door and rescue the workers inside, the bicycle factory will reward you with a bicycle]

According to the timeline, the person who opened the back door was a passerby. He found that the dormitory building was on fire, rushed over quickly, smashed the lock outside the back door, and shouted to the people in the building to guide everyone to escape through the back door.

Although the bicycle factory's dormitory building was damaged by the fire, no one was injured.

If a worker gets into an accident, the deputy director in charge of safety will be removed from his post and the director will also be punished.

To express their gratitude, the director and deputy director of the bicycle factory rewarded the passerby who saved the man and gave him a bicycle.
