In the grove.

Liu Lan looked at Li Weidong with a calm face, but her little heart was beating wildly, and her clenched palms were sticky.

Although Liu Lan has a salary of ten yuan a month, he is not a city hukou and has no food capital, so if he eats grain, he can only buy high-priced grain from the pigeon market.

Originally, her salary was exchanged for food, which was enough for the family to eat and drink, but recently there was a shortage of materials, and the price of food in the pigeon market has skyrocketed by two times.

Also, Liu Lan's in-laws' asthma has recurred, and since they are not urban workers, every time they go to the hospital to see a doctor, it is a big expense.

The family hasn't saved much money over the years, and it's completely empty.

She can't even get the money to buy steamed buns tomorrow.

Otherwise, he would have come to Li Weidong with a cheeky face.

In fact, because of Liu Lan's good looks, after Deputy Director Li entered the fence, many people stretched out a "black iron rod" to her, hoping to help her.

But Liu Lan has experienced the incident of Deputy Director Li, and has long seen the true colors of those men, and will not hand him over easily.

Faced with the predicament, she thought about it, and only Li Weidong was the most suitable to help her.

First, Li Weidong is a handsome person, and he is not being trampled with him.

Second, Li Weidong is now the director, and he has always been safe in his work, and he can help her for a long time.

Liu Lan's abacus beads jingled, and almost the whole capital could hear it, and Li Weidong naturally knew it.

"I now give you a maximum of fifteen catties of stick noodles every month, and if I have more, I won't be able to get it."

Liu Lan was anxious: "Twenty catties, as long as you give me twenty catties, I will never find another man in the future, and follow you wholeheartedly." ”

"Just fifteen pounds, do you want to love it."

Li Weidong insisted: "If you are not satisfied, you can go to someone else." ”

"You were really forced to look for you, do you really think I'm a casual woman?" The corners of Liu Lan's eyes were ruddy, and her voice was sad: "I really can't help it, so I came to beg you." ”

Li Weidong and Qin Huairu are together, and they have long been immune to this little trick of women.

"Just fifteen pounds, you can do it."

"Okay," Liu Lan bit her lip and said, "Then I'll look for you tomorrow." ”

After the matter was settled, the two of them went out of the grove one after the other.

Li Weidong returned to the workshop, explained to Niu Meng, and rode out of the rolling mill on his bicycle.

He is now the leader of the poverty alleviation workshop, and he can sneak out of the rolling mill at any time under the pretext of dealing with things, and no one will check the post anyway.

The door of the small courtyard of the fat man's house was hidden, and Li Weidong gently pushed it open and shouted inside.

Seeing that no one responded, he pushed his bicycle into the yard.

I walked through the crescent moon door to the backyard, and as soon as I got close to the wing, I heard a strange sound from inside the house.

Good guy, in broad daylight, Yu Fat is not restless.

Gently press the bicycle bell, and the crisp sound of the bell breaks the silence in the small courtyard.

The strange sound stopped abruptly, and then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and terrible screams sounded in the wing.

After about two or three minutes, Yu Fatzi came out of the house with his head covered and melon seeds.

He wore a padded jacket half-open, cotton boots pulled on, and anger hung on his face.

After all, when you are happy, you will not be in a good mood if you fall off the kang.

"Who, early in the morning, is here to disturb the people!"

"Early in the morning" Li Weidong turned his head to look at the sun that was already hanging in the west, with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, it's Brother Weidong."

Yu Fatzi recognized it as Li Weidong, and hurriedly put on his shoes and ran over: "Brother-in-law, why are you free to come over today?" ”

As he spoke, he cautiously glanced behind him, as if he was afraid that the man inside would come out.

The look of stealing food for fear of being caught made Li Weidong almost laugh out loud.

Considering that he wanted to save face for the fat man, Li Weidong did not break him.

"Did you receive the batch of grain I asked the northeast to send a while ago?"

"Received, it's in the warehouse over there, don't say it, that guy named Zhou Xiaoguang really has some skills, more than 5,000 catties of rich and strong powder, more than 2,000 catties of mountain goods, and pickled game, I will only sell mountain goods, not grain."

"Of course, the location of Zhou Xiaoguang's trip to the countryside has been determined, just over there in the northeast, I have friends there who can cover him, and he must be concerned about our affairs."

A while ago, Li Weidong went to Jichun to meet Zhou Xiaoguang.

Zhou Xiaoguang is worried about going to the countryside.

Don't look at him in Jichun, there are five people and six people.

Out of Jichun, he is an ordinary intellectual youth.

In addition, the conditions in the countryside are generally difficult, and the situation that Zhou Xiaoguang heard from his friends made him feel a little scared.

After listening to Zhou Xiaoguang's distress, Li Weidong instantly thought of the Construction Corps.

Since Li Weidong came back from the Construction Corps, he has been in contact with Li Yunlong and Tian Yu.

Not through letters, of course, which are too easy to leave to end.

Every time, he dressed thick and sturdy, went to the state-run store, used the long-distance telephone there, and contacted Li Yunlong and Tian Yu through the transfer of the construction corps.

Li Yunlong is still chattering on the phone, and when he talks about certain things, he has the power to bombard Ping'an County in the past.

But.

According to Tian Yu, since Li Yunlong arrived in the Northeast, he has taken a lot of pessimism about some things.

Now every day, in addition to training Tian Gang's children, he is tending to his half an acre of vegetable land.

The vegetable field is specially planted with Northeast Chinese cabbage that Li Weidong likes to eat.

Just wait for the next time Li Weidong comes, make him an authentic pork stewed vermicelli.

After listening to this, Li Weidong was very moved.

Tell Tian Yu that as long as he holds on there for a while, he can return to the capital.

Tian Yu felt that it was very good in the Northeast, she could often accompany Li Yunlong, not worry about him causing trouble, and she could take good care of a few children.

Li Weidong knew that according to Li Yunlong's temperament, he would definitely not be willing to nest there, but it was not easy to persuade him.

Since Tian Yu and Li Yunlong need to live in the Northeast for a long time, they can send Zhou Xiaoguang over as well.

With Li Yunlong's old subordinates, it is enough to cover Zhou Xiaoguang.

Li Weidong told Zhou Xiaoguang about this idea.

Zhou Xiaoguang heard that Li Weidong actually knew the leader of the construction army, so he naturally nodded in a hurry.

Although the conditions on the side of the Construction Corps are difficult, as long as he is not deliberately targeted, he can still survive.

Besides, with Li Weidong's relationship, the construction of the military will not treat him badly.

Li Weidong then hung up the phone to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong doesn't care about this matter, even if Zhou Xiaoguang has a special identity, can he be more special than him?

This big thing in Zhou Xiaoguang's eyes was handled by Li Weidong's two phone calls, and Zhou Xiaoguang was amazed by Li Weidong's great energy, but also felt that he should express his gratitude.

He took out one-third of the profits from his partnership with Li Weidong to buy this batch of grain, which he only gave to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong was naturally disrespectful in the face of the kindness sent to the door.

Li Weidong followed the fat man to the warehouse, pushed open the old wooden door, and saw a pile full of grain.

Grain and mountain goods are packed in sacks, and the bottom of the sacks is covered with a layer of wooden planks to protect against moisture.

It can be seen that Yu Fat looks rude, and he is still very careful in doing things.

Although Li Weidong has space, it is not convenient to use it in front of the fat man, so he can only take a small part first.

"You give me fifty pounds of fine white flour and twenty pounds of game."

Li Weidong paused for a moment and looked at Yu Fatman: "Don't you have stick noodles?" ”

"Stick noodles?"

Yu Fatzi looked surprised

In his impression, Li Weidong has always eaten fine grains, when did he change his taste?

However, he didn't ask, and nodded: "We are in the pigeon market, how can there be no coarse grain, just in the warehouse next door, and I will give you the whole hundred and ten catties later." ”

"It's too much, I can't take it, let's get ten catties first, and then I need it, I'll come to you to get it."

Li Weidong loaded the grain and pulled the grain bag on the back seat with Yu Fatzi.

Suddenly, a small head poked out of the wing.

Li Weidong just glanced at it and recognized that the woman was Qi Ning, the object of Yu Fat.

"Second Brother Yu, I'll go first."

Qi Ning didn't expect Li Weidong and Yu Fatzi to suddenly come out of the warehouse.

She blushed and said hello to the fat man, glanced at Li Weidong embarrassedly, and left in a hurry with her head down.

Seeing Qi Ning, Li Weidong remembered what he promised to the fat man a while ago.

"Yu Fatty, you see that I have been busy recently, and I promised to transfer you to the machinery factory, but I was negligent."

"You can rest assured, now that the poverty alleviation workshop has expanded its scale, it is in need of a purchaser, and when I return to the rolling mill, I will mention this matter to Director Yang."

Yu Fatzi also heard from Yu Li what Li Weidong was tinkering with recently.

He smiled unmindingly, "It's okay." The matter between me and Qi Ning is mainly that the gap between the two families is too big, and the old man of the Qi family is also a stubborn person, even if I have a formal job, he will not agree immediately. ”

"There is a formal job, and Old Man Qi finally has an explanation."

Li Weidong saw that the fat man was in a low mood, comforted him a few words, and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

At this time, it was time to get off work, and the food bag hanging behind the bicycle was particularly conspicuous.

Chen Yuanyuan was sitting at the door of Yan's house basking in the warmth, when he heard the movement, he looked up, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Shout, this is not Director Li of the rolling mill, I just came to the compound not long ago, we don't know each other yet, let me introduce myself first, my name is Chen Yuanyuan, it is the Chen Yuanyuan who defeated Li Zicheng."

"It's not funny at all." Li Weidong nodded coldly, pushed the car, and turned around.

The smile on Chen Yuanyuan's face froze on his face.

She has been beautiful since she was a child, plus she loves to dress up and play, and she is very popular with gay men.

Otherwise, Hu Dakui could not be fascinated, and it took a lot of effort to bring her out of the commune, arrange a formal job for her, and let her get the food in the city.

Chen Yuanyuan has never encountered a situation where she took the initiative to say hello and was ignored by a man.

After reacting, he was so angry that he grabbed his nails into his palms.

"Okay, you Li Weidong, you dare to look down on me, let's see!"

Li Weidong did deliberately alienate Chen Yuanyuan.

This woman has just entered the courtyard, and Li Weidong is a low-profile version of Qin Huairu.

Not only is the appearance and figure simpler, but even the bottom line has been lowered a lot.

In order to enjoy the glory and wealth, Chen Yuanyuan hooked up with Hu Dakui, which is already considered morally low.

She married into the Yan family with a big belly, and let Yan Jiecheng help Hu Dakui raise children, which is simply immoral.

Moreover, this woman has a lot of thoughts.

The best way to do this is to stay away.

Don't deal with her, so that she doesn't have a chance to get close.

Back home.

Li Weidong saw that Yu Li was washing clothes, so he hurriedly tied up his bicycle and rushed into the house.

"Daughter-in-law, you have a big belly, how can you do such heavy work?"

Yu Li saw Li Weidong's nervous expression, and her heart was full of sweetness.

"Don't get in the way, I've got two months left in my due date!"

"I think back then, when my mother was born in Begonia, she was just in time for a famine."

"My mother is about to give birth, and I have to go with my father to the field outside the city to gather wild vegetables."

"As a result, the movement may have been a little bigger, and when I was eating wild vegetables, the amniotic water suddenly broke."

"My father's face turned white with fright, but luckily there was an ox cart passing by on the side of the road."

"My father helped my mother to the ox cart and asked the uncle who drove the car to take my mother to the nearest hospital."

"However, halfway through the road, Yu Haitang was born."

The people of this era are really strong enough.

If it were in the future life, Yu Li would have enjoyed the life of opening her mouth with food and stretching out her hands with clothes.

Seeing that Yu Li was stubborn, Li Weidong no longer persuaded him.

"Daughter-in-law, go clean up the noodle jar."

"What, did you get the food back?" When Yu Li heard this, she wiped her hands and stood up.

"Yes, it's a full fifty catties of fine white noodles, and when half of it will be divided, you give it to your mother and bring them back."

Li Weidong divided the fine white noodles into two parts, one part was put into the noodle jar, and the other part was left in the bag.

Then clean the outside of the bag to prevent it from being seen by some animals in the compound.

Rao is Li Weidong is so careful, some of the birds and beasts in the courtyard still got the news.

The news was leaked by Chen Yuanyuan.

Since being ignored by Li Weidong, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Waiting for Yan Jiecheng to come back, he began to get angry at Yan Jiecheng.

"Yan Jiecheng, since I married into your family, I haven't eaten a meal of white-flour steamed buns, have you forgotten how you promised my cousin in the first place?"

"Yuanyuan, don't be angry, it's not impossible, you also know how tight the food on the market has been recently."

Yan Jiecheng saw Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widen, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I went to the grain station in Xizhimen to line up in the early hours of yesterday morning, before dawn, but before it was my turn, the grain in the grain station was sold out. ”

"I still found an acquaintance, and I only bought a few catties of stick noodles."

"The acquaintance also said that in the past two months, the grain station has not transported refined white noodles at all."

Of course, Yan Jiecheng's words have moisture, but it is a fact that you can't buy refined white noodles in the grain station.

Chen Yuanyuan also knew this, and said coldly: "Then where did Li Weidong's refined white noodles come from?" ”

"Li Weidong got the fine white noodles?.ah, oh, it should be the reward from the factory today."

Yan Jiecheng said with envy: "You may not know, that kid took shit luck and became a model worker, and the factory rewarded him with a lot of good things." ”
