The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

The city of Chengde is more than 200 kilometers away from the capital, and the road was easy to drive. Yang Dalin and his group arrived in the capital before dark.

If this were in the future, it would take less than three hours by highway, but unfortunately it takes seven or eight hours now.

Upon arriving in Beijing, everyone agreed to first drop off the things they had brought home in each car, then meet at a certain location before returning to their work unit.

Otherwise, if other colleagues see what everyone brought back, some of them will be envious.

Especially Yang Dalin's many wolf skins and wolf meat.

Tian Xueyi asked him, "What are you going to do with all this wolf pelts and wolf meat? Are you just going to take it back to your yard?"

Yang Dalin shook his head: "That won't do. Let me take you first, Brother Tian. I'll think about it on the way."

Tian Xueyi added, "If all else fails, just leave some at my house and come back to pick them up later."

Yang Dalin knew that Brother Tian meant well and wouldn't covet his things.

However, it wouldn't be good to bring too many things into Brother Tian's house, since he doesn't live in a detached house.

There are also quite a few neighbors who bring large amounts of meat in and out, which is simply asking to be reported.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Dalin said, "Forget it, Brother Tian, ​​it's not appropriate. I'll just find a friend and leave it with him."

His house is a detached house with its own courtyard.

He's a long-time resident, so he probably knows people who tan leather. We could ask him to help us get the leather sorted out as well.

Brother Tian said, "Alright then, as long as you have a place to put it, that's fine. If it's inconvenient for me to see you later, just drop me off beforehand."

Tian Xueyi knew that Yang Dalin knew some people in the black market or pigeon market.

I used to always ask Yang Dalin to help me buy cooked food to go with my drinks.

He doesn't like to get involved, and people might not want to meet outsiders too often.

It's better to get off the bus early.

Tell Yang Dalin to put the things down and come back to pick him up as soon as possible.

Yang Dalin drove to Tian Xueyi's house and put another lamb leg, a roe deer leg, a wolf thigh, two rabbits, a fox fur scarf, and several pairs of rabbit fur gloves into Tian Xueyi's sack.

Tian Xueyi couldn't stop him; Yang Dalin carried a large sack into Tian Xueyi's yard first.

When they arrived at Brother Tian's house, they knocked on the door, and Sister-in-law Liu Meimei opened it to find Yang Dalin carrying a sack.

Her husband was behind her.

Liu Meimei was naturally happy to see her husband return safely.

Tian Xueyi also shouted, "Hey kid, why are you running so fast?"

Yang Dalin said, "I miss my sister-in-law. I want to see how she is."

Liu Meimei was very happy to hear this.

He quickly invited them in, put the sack in the living room, took out the gloves he had prepared for Liu Meimei and the children, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, and don't pour any water. We haven't gone back to the unit yet."

This scarf is made of fox fur, specially brought for you, unlike some people who don't know how to cherish their wives.

After speaking, Yang Dalin glanced at Tian Xueyi.

Tian Xueyi kicked him in the butt from the side: "Bullshit, how do you know I didn't bring it? It's downstairs. My wife needs you to fawn over her."

"Get lost! I'll wait for you at home. Go by yourself, I'm not going with you. Hurry back!"

After saying that, Yang Dalin said something to Liu Meimei's sister-in-law and left.

Yang Dalin got into the truck himself and put all the things he had brought and the things he had brought for his unit into his storage space.

It will be convenient to unload into the small courtyard where I made the deal with Master Duo later.

I was worried that someone might get on the bus and steal something if I was alone, so I stored everything in my online space.

This will make it easier for me to operate it myself later.

Yang Dalin drove to the vicinity of Uncle Duo's house.

Park the car where you can't see the entrance from the front door.

There was nothing in the car, so there was no fear of anyone stealing anything.

Yang Dalin dressed up and knocked on Master Duo's door.

It was getting dark by then, and Yang Dalin was dressed just like he had when he last met Master Duo.

To prevent Master Duo from seeing his eyes, Yang Dalin specially wore a pair of round sunglasses.

These round black sunglasses existed as early as the Republican era.

Zheng Chaoyang and Hei Ling had mentioned it when they went to rent a house.

Master Duo opened the door and said immediately, "It's you again, sir. What good stuff have you got this time?"

Yang Dalin lowered his voice and said, "Yes, some wild game and mutton from the grasslands."

Just like last time, our people will put it in that small courtyard after dark, and your people will pick it up after 8 pm.

This is a three-day supply, so please take it easy, Uncle. After three days, just put the payment for this shipment in the box in the cellar of that small courtyard.

We need to handle this batch of goods slowly and steadily, without attracting too much attention.

"Let's take it slow; we can sell until after the Lunar New Year."

Master Duo nodded: "Okay, let's not play big, let's play slowly."

We don't go to the black market. I know a lot of wealthy regular customers, and we deliver directly to their door.

It won't attract anyone's attention.

Yang Dalin nodded, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave.

Yang Dalin was willing to trade with Master Duo because he was careful enough and knew many people. He wouldn't sell many in-demand goods on the black market or in the pigeon market.

It will be delivered directly to the buyer's home.

This addresses a significant risk of exposure.

It's relatively safe, there are fewer middlemen, and everyone's profits are relatively high.

Otherwise, if a large-scale raid were to occur on the black market, Yang Dalin would have to worry about losing everything.

Yang Dalin still didn't plan to hand over the wolf skin to Master Duo; he intended to ask Master Qi for help in finding someone to help him.

Grandpa Qi knows a lot of people and has many connections.

Letting Master Duo handle it would only create more trouble.

Yang Dalin got into the car and drove to the vicinity of the small courtyard where he had made the deal with Master Duo.

After checking, I found no one in the courtyard. It was getting dark, and there weren't many pedestrians on the road.

Yang Dalin carefully jumped into the courtyard and put down some of the mutton and wild game meat he had brought.

Then he left the courtyard.

Put everything except what you brought into the truck bed.

They drove to the vicinity of Tian Xueyi's house, picked up Brother Tian, ​​and then went to Qi Desheng's house to deliver a large sack.

Gong Xuemei hadn't finished get off work yet, and no one was home, so Yang Dalin unloaded the sacks of things into their storage room. Yang Dalin knew where the key was, and locked it again after he came out.

The reason for sending it first is that it would be better to take it to Qi Desheng's workplace and then give it to him.

Then I drove to meet up with everyone and went back to my workplace.

When passing by the train station square, Yang Dalin asked a group of people riding handcarts to pass on a message to Ma San. Ma San wasn't there; he had gone to see someone off.

Tell Ma San to come and wait for him at the entrance of the freight station.

Back at the unit, everyone warmly welcomed the convoy back safely.

A large part of the reason for this enthusiasm was that the convoy brought a lot of mutton from the grasslands.

With hundreds of employees at the freight station, each of them can now get several kilograms of mutton to eat. Who wouldn't be enthusiastic?

Qi Desheng saw that everyone was very enthusiastic and knew that everyone was worried about the things left at the unit.

I'll send it out early; this is one of the New Year's gifts.

I heard they're giving out meat today, so everyone's not even worried about leaving get off work late.

In this day and age, there aren't many workers who don't crave meat.

Qi Desheng didn't keep all the food for himself; he left a lot for his superiors. Otherwise, if he hadn't gone to deliver it, his superiors would definitely have come to take advantage of him.

Just like capturing spoils of war on the battlefield, if you take them and don't think about your superiors, but only about using them yourself, it will definitely delay your promotion.

Qi Desheng did this much better than that old bastard Li Yunlong.
