Chapter 63 - Deng Xuemei collapsed

  Early in the morning, before dawn, Fang Lei took Shen Bailu on the road.

  Fang Lei hurried an early bus to the county seat, and Shen Bailu returned to work in the supply and marketing cooperative.

  Before leaving, Fang Lei took a cloth-sewn waist bag, opened it, and counted it. It contained more than one thousand yuan. It was all the money he saved over the years and the demobilization allowance paid during his retirement.

  When the loan is successfully received, he will put the money in his pocket together, tie it close to his waist, and go directly from the county to the city by train to go south, without turning back again.

  Shen Bailu took two hundred yuan before and kept it on her body, and then handed it to him: "The two hundred yuan was originally given to me by you before. You can use it for self-defense when you go out."

  Fang Lei solemnly refused.

  "I'm not by your side these days, you have to take good care of yourself, you can keep this money for self-defense."

  "No, I still have money for self-defense. It's when you want to use the money. It's not the same if it's more than a hundred dollars."

  The two of them gave in for this little money.

  At last stalemate, Shen Bailu reluctantly drew out one hundred yuan, and said seriously: "Then, I will keep this one hundred yuan for self-defense, and you will keep the other one hundred yuan. Don't use it for now. If the business doesn't go well, it even ends up being exhausted. , To the point where you have to give up, you can use the hundred dollars to buy some food, eat your stomach, buy a ticket and come back, let's start over."

  Fang Lei took the money: "Well, I must keep it till the end."

  In the past few days, life has been very normal.

  In March, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the peach blossoms on the roadside are gradually opening up, and the farmers in the nearby fields are also busy with spring plowing.

  Dongyang Weili market has also picked up, and all kinds of business people continue to shout. The two aunts of the Shen family are still in the clothing business, wholesale some spring clothes for sale.

  Shen Bailu looked at the newspaper in his hand, and recently has been reporting on the achievements of the pilot towns after the commune was cancelled.

  Shen Bailu couldn't remember exactly when the People's Commune was officially abolished, but looking at the direction of the wind, he wondered that it should be in the second half of the year.

  Once the commune is cancelled, will it have a greater impact on the supply and marketing cooperative? This is a very headache for Deng Shunfa.

  When the supply and marketing cooperative was organized, it was the commune who gave the big money, some villages gave the small money, and individual members contributed a few dollars.

  After the commune is cancelled, the supply and marketing cooperatives will most likely return to the jurisdiction of the village, and the upper management will naturally take more stringent control. As Deng Shunfa is the director, the pressure will naturally increase.

  No wonder Deng Shunfa has not laughed recently.

  Maybe he also felt the crisis?

  Shen Bailu meditated. Not to mention the crisis in restructuring, the number of customers entering the supply and marketing cooperative seems to be fewer now, and it is strange that Deng Shunfa can laugh.
