Chapter 73:

He Songbai touched the address on the note.
It was an old S city house. The old house with red brick tiles and arched doors mixed with traditional Chinese style and western style. It was exquisite and stylish. A deep alley straight extended to the end. , Can't see through.
He Songbai compared with the door number to confirm, and knocked on the door.
After a long time, a chubby middle-aged woman scrambled out of the lacquered door and cursed with her hands on her hips: "Nong, a little thorny brain knocks on the coffin early in the morning.
He Songbai asked in Mandarin: "Sorry, I want to find someone. May I wish Housheng is here?"
The middle-aged woman saw the tall and handsome young man in front of her, and she was very energetic. He apologized sincerely, and the appearance of an honest man made her half angry.
"The house with the surname Zhu has already moved away!"
He Songbai heard that he was suddenly so disappointed in his heart, he asked: "Where did their family move? I came to find a relative."
The woman wiped her greasy hands in the apron, "How do I know this!"
She finished closing the door with a bang, and the black coffin-like door froze in front of He Songbai's eyes.
He put away his disappointment and went to the restaurant for fifty cents to buy a basket of raw fried buns.
Knocked door to door and asked, asking someone to give a bun.
After asking about his two cages of raw fried buns, he finally came to the door of a unit called "Jianjian Textile Mill". His eyes were dull. He asked Zhu Housheng, the uncle who guarded the door.
The uncle looked at the young man's very wide clothes, and saw that he was born handsome. He was just a cadre. He dared not fool him and said bluntly: "This person is not here anymore! What... do you ask where he is now?" You only ask the old workers in the factory to know..."
After many twists and turns, He Songbai got nothing, and under his hunger, he squatted on the street and nibbled a dry cake. At this time, the sky was dark and the clouds were thick, and soon the thundering thunder and thunder, and a heavy rain Down.
He Songbai stood in embarrassment under the eaves of the others, and the rain column falling in the puddle splashed and wet his pants. The debtor had no news, which made He Songbai very depressed.
He loved the clothes made by this object, and took up his wet trousers with pity and dared not take the rain. He Songbaikui waited for an hour before the rain stopped, and finally reluctantly ran back to the guest house in the rain.
The waiter at the guest house disgusted him with water and wet the floor that had just been dragged. He Songbai speeded up and ran up the stairs. When he reached the stairs, he hit the subject.
Zhao Lanxiang touched his wet arm and said distressedly: "It's such a heavy rain, why don't you wait and run back."
He Songbai wiped his face and smiled with teeth showing: "It's okay, as if taking a bath."
"What kind of rain is this? I still take a cold shower in winter!"
Zhao Lanxiang pushed him into the bathroom and filled him with hot water.
"Let's change clothes after washing!"
He Songbai took a warm hot bath and only felt that every pore in his body was trembling with comfort, making him forget the frustration caused by the debt.
After changing to clean clothes and going out, he saw the subject's shining eyes. She stared at him and asked, "After visiting old friends?"
He Songbai honestly admitted: "Not found."
Zhao Lanxiang said seriously: "I have a way to help you find him. If you are willing to tell me why you are looking for this person, I will teach you how to find him."
He Songbai thought for a while and looked at her caring eyes and told her truthfully.
"Grandma gave me an IOU and asked me to collect the debt."
He Songbai took out the slips carefully placed in his pocket and showed them to Zhao Lanxiang.
Zhao Lanxiang was surprised when she saw the figure above.
"It turns out that your family used to be so rich."
He Songbai smiled bitterly.
"Okay, don't worry, I will help you find this person."
Zhao Lanxiang said in earnest that she had a series of messages about the debtor.
"I have a friend who works in a newspaper office here, looking for publications." She took out a bag of food in her pocket and said thoughtfully.
In the early morning of the next day, a message about the size of a thumb was published somewhere in the city newspaper's article search notice.
"The scumbag picked up some food stamps and personal belongings on November 5, 1976. Please wish Mr. Housheng to see the newspaper and bring his ID to the newspaper office to contact the scumbag at the address: xxxxx, Zhou Sheng.
After reading this news, He Songbai was a bit crying and laughing. He rolled up the newspaper with great importance.
"I don't know if it works."
Zhao Lanxiang lifted his chin, "If you have a try, you will know."
The reason is that people die for money and die for food. The reason has never changed. After seeing this food ticket, I wish Hou Sheng to come to the newspaper office to run. This professional term is called "fishing law enforcement" by Xiaohuzi. Greedy people who take advantage of small things are often put down by him.
"No one can compare this family as a man. They owe your grandma so much money and live freely. Isn't your conscience uneasy?" Zhao Lanxiang mocked.
People want to face trees and skins, people don't want to face the world invincible, trees don't have skins, they will definitely die. Such people, she has always been far away.
He Songbai said: "It hasn't been in contact for so many years. In the past two or three decades, I'm not sure what happened to someone's house and I haven't paid the money. You know the situation in my house. Granny can't care about that much..."
He also vaguely understood that if the person lived a good life, he might be fooled by his family.
But seeing the cold, ironic look of the subject, He Songbai's dark eyes flashed with a searing smile.
This method quickly worked, mainly because Zhao Lanxiang's friend in S City was very effective. She really thought that the owner had lost a lot of important items, and she left it for a few days.
On the second and third days, three "Zhu Housheng" came to the newspaper office to receive food stamps. He Songbai was watching in the dark. Two of them were children and young people, and only one of them was middle-aged. on. He was dressed in a light gray tunic and was neatly trimmed, with a pair of frames on his nose and a swann look.
Zhu Housheng received the two pounds of food stamps from the accident, thanked the staff of the newspaper office lightly, and left the newspaper office with interest.
He walked all the way down the street, went to the black market with grain tickets and bought two pounds of rice, kicking away the beggars who came along and begging.
He Songbai followed up, followed Zhu Housheng's home, and followed his unit.
He went around the deep alleys where the chaotic and decayed poor lived, and pulled out two dollars.
His eyes were fierce and gentle, and two extremely contradictory emotions flashed in his eyes. He attracted a few gangsters with a fierce look: "After the event, the money will be yours."
He gangly collected his money, and took the box with the debts, and went to the door of Zhu Housheng's house.
He Songbai was hidden in the street, watching the news while watching the newspaper.
...
After finding Zhu Housheng, He Songbai squatted him for several days.
Zhao Lanxiang also stayed in the guest house waiting for the news of the men. In these few days, they haven't visited the S city in order to find people to travel around.
Although she has been tired of visiting this place for decades, the nature of women's love for shopping is indelible no matter what age she is in. When you come to S City, which is a "shopping center", how can you waste this precious opportunity in vain. While she was taking advantage of He Songbai to collect debts, she went to the department store to buy something.
The department store is full of things, no matter the variety or style is more than 100 times richer than that of the countryside. Zhao Lanxiang looked at the goods on the shelf, and occasionally asked for two prices. This year's salesperson's eyes are high, and his attitude is extremely bad.
But he could not stand in front of Zhao Lanxiang, and the salesperson promoted: "This pearl ointment is very good for the skin, and the face is white and beautiful. You have such a good thing in the field."
"Look, comrade, this is a famous brand in S City."
The salesperson saw that Zhao Lanxiang was born with white jade, well-dressed, and the texture of the pair of leather shoes on her feet was quite extraordinary. It must have been economically powerful, and no matter what other guests were, she just surrounded her.
Zhao Lanxiang was very annoyed. She glanced at the salesperson, picked up the pearl ointment, sniffed it, and said, "It smells very sharp. Is it methylisothiazolinone? Imidazolidinyl urea?"
"I'm sorry, I'm the technician who made this in the factory. This kind of thing is bad on my face. Don't recommend this cream or cream to me."
Zhao Lanxiang knows that she has an uncle who is a supervisor in a department store. After the policy has been slightly loosened in the past two years, many state-owned factories have
matched
with the sales staff of the department store in order to break the status quo of successive losses.
The salesperson recommended her fabrics and clothing again, and Zhao Lanxiang went back one by one.
She said politely: "Comrade, I will warn you seriously, and if you interfere with me, I will complain to you."
The salesperson was choked up, and put on a face of a late lady and stopped talking.
Zhao Lanxiang happily picked a lot of things, the nutrients used in the body to revitalize malted milk, the price of city S is much cheaper and cheaper than the black market of Qinghe County, she bought two cans; a "golden bird" watch, Without the price of Longines, a hundred pieces can be taken; a red light radio.
After they bought these things, she went straight to the post office and sent them back to the country in the name of her friend in the name of sending things to her loved ones. When she walked out of the newspaper, she borrowed her friend's identification in advance. When she arrived at the post office, she calmly watched these "bigs" packed into wooden boxes one by one. The postman knocked the nails with a hammer Wooden box.
When I bought so many things, she completely emptied her belongings, and no errors were allowed.
A "Golden Sparrow" watch sells 108 pieces in S City, and if you get it in the country, it will range from 150 to 200. If Longines is too expensive, it may be difficult to change hands for a while. She thought Buy a Longines too! Small watches are much better than radio mailing!
The only piece of gold sparrow she wore directly on her hand.
The simple watch is lined with a woman's pink-white arm, which is more and more slender and small. This is a large, round and heavy men's watch.
Zhao Lanxiang paid a postage of 80 cents and walked out of the post office comfortably.
The author has something to say:
small theater:
Earn money incense: This is the real purpose of my coming to S City, everyone here will be disappointed
Bo: Really?
Xian Bianxian Huixiang: Of course not, I will go wherever Bo Geer goes~
