In the next few days, Zhang Junping basically never sat down.
I visited several related households.
Of course, Master Yang Mingde was indispensable. He gave Master two boxes of Maotai, two giant pandas, bird's nest, fish glue, sea cucumber, abalone and so on.
After having a meal at Master's house and reporting on the situation of the furniture factory and his plans for the coming year, Zhang Junping said goodbye and left.
There are a lot of things going on at the end of the year, and there are still many related households that I have not visited.
After all the busy work, finally on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the accountant in charge, Chen Shiben, came over to report that the out-of-town withdrawals had been coordinated.
He only needs to take the transfer check issued by the bank here and go to the WF Industrial and Commercial Bank branch to withdraw money.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning, Zhang Junping met his third brother, fifth brother and more than a dozen people from his village and got on the train home.
"I don't know if my boy will call me daddy!"
"I guess it's quite annoying. You haven't been home this year. How can your kid still know you?"
"Yeah, I don't know if my boy still recognizes me. When I left, he just knew how to call people."
More than a dozen people got on the train and started chatting.
The topic at this meeting is naturally inseparable from the wife, children, and parents.
"Gangzi, what are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
"I'm thinking about my mother. I wonder how she is doing?" Gangzi said worriedly.
"It should be fine. Didn't you send money back? I would have written to you if something happened." Fifth Brother comforted me.
"Pingzi, can you bring your wife over next year?"
"Yes! It would be great if I could bring my wife here next year."
"Next year, not only can I bring my wife with me, but I can also bring my children with me.
Next year, your household registration will be transferred to BJ, and your children will be able to go to school in BJ." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Can you really transfer your household registration here? This is BJ's urban household registration!"
"Don't worry! I've already made an agreement with the leader at BJ!
You have been working hard with me for a year, and Fifth Brother and the others have been following me for even longer. You are all my brothers, how could I forget you?" Zhang Junping smiled at everyone.
"Pingzi, it's a good thing of you that you don't forget us poor relatives when you become successful."
"Third brother, what you said is that we are brothers who broke our bones and connected our tendons. It was passed down from an old grandfather."
Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, but they were all alert.
Because they carry with them their hard-earned income for a year.
After driving all day and all night, we finally arrived at Changle Railway Station on the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
Dad has already led several villagers and drove several carriages to wait at the entrance of the train station.
There was also a large truck parked at the entrance of the train station, with seven or eight militiamen with guns standing on the truck.
Zhang Junping specifically called the director of the commune to borrow this truck from the commune's Armed Forces Department.
Because, he still has to rush to WF to withdraw money.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and we need to pay the villagers money, which cannot be postponed until next year.
"Pingzi, let's go with you! There are many people to take care of you!" the third brother said uneasy.
"No need, there are fifth uncle, eldest brother and the others!
This is a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. With more than a dozen rifles, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Only when he climbed into the car did Zhang Junping realize that he was superficial.
Not only were there a dozen rifles, there was also a crooked handle on the truck.
Dad is really, if it wasn't difficult to carry it, he would have dared to bring over the team's cannon.
In the early 1980s, the militia teams in each village were armed with live ammunition, and their firepower was quite fierce.
Not only do they have rifles, many militia groups also have light machine guns, and some even have heavy machine guns and earthen cannons.
These weapons and ammunition were eliminated from the army after the Liberation War.
After giving the things he brought back to his father, Zhang Junping didn't even return home and rushed directly to WF City with his people.
Arriving at the WF City Industrial and Commercial Bank of China branch, I found President Qu.
"Hello, President Qu, I'm here to withdraw money. BJ's should have contacted you before, right?"
"Hello, hello! Are you Director Zhang? I have contacted you. You want to withdraw 13.5 million, right?" Manager Qu extended his hands to Zhang Junping enthusiastically.
"I'm causing trouble to Mr. Qu!" Zhang Junping was very polite. After all, it was a matter of asking for help.
"No trouble, no trouble! Just serve the people!" Governor Qu was very polite.
Although he didn't know Zhang Junping's identity, he couldn't afford to offend the governor of the provincial bank by calling him personally to negotiate for funds.
You know, 13.5 million in cash is not a small amount. Even if they are a city branch, they don't have that much cash.
It must be allocated from the treasury of the People's Bank of China.
He has done nothing else since yesterday and has been communicating with the People's Bank of China Treasury to allocate funds.
Early this morning, two escort vehicles delivered 13.5 million in cash to the branch.
At this time, more than a dozen heavily armed security guards in the branch were guarding the money with their eyes wide open.
I was waiting for Zhang Junping to come and withdraw the money, and now I finally waited for Zhang Junping.
After some pleasantries, Zhang Junping took out the transfer check issued by BJ Industrial and Commercial Bank and handed it to President Qu.
Manager Qu arranged for someone to check the tickets.
After passing the check, start filling in the documents and counting the money.
Thirteen and a half million, that's 1,350,000 pieces, and the price is 1,350 yuan, not 1,000 yuan.
It took me a full morning and half an afternoon to get the details right.
It took fourteen bags to be packed in green canvas bags specially designed for banks.
Seeing Zhang Junping pulling money away in a truck, Manager Qu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Finally, he sighed, "We have a dragon in WF!"
"President, who is this? So arrogant?"
"Are you awesome? President Gao of the provincial bank called him personally. It is said that President Ding of the head office called him to explain the matter.
It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to talk more!" Mr. Qu shook his head and sighed.
This is what Mr. Qu regrets the most. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to make a good friendship.
As a result, Zhang Junping was too busy counting money to talk to him.
When Zhang Junping reached the car, his hands were twitching involuntarily.
He relied on a dozen or so people to count 1.35 million banknotes, and he was too exhausted to count them all, so he could only randomly check them.
Just like that, my hands are cramping from exhaustion. Really? My hands are cramping from counting money.
Not only him, but the fifth uncle in the car behind, holding a gun and looking very powerful, the eldest brother and the others were not much better than him.
The hands are shaking too.
The whole journey was silent, and it was already dark when we returned to Jiahe Village.
However, the lights at home are brightly lit.
According to Zhang Junping's request, the house was renovated.
From the original earthen house, it became a two-story small Western-style building.
The living room downstairs is very spacious, with a depth of six meters and transparency from north to south.
However, the living room was crowded with people at this time, and it was more lively than going to the market.
The vast majority of people didn't even have a place to do anything and could only stand, but no one had any objections, and on the contrary, the conversation was lively.
"Pingzi is back!" With a shout and a cheer, people in the room began to crowd out.
