After having dinner here in Li Shanhe in the evening, Li Ping'an took Ding Qiunan back to the old house in the village, and went to the grave early the next morning to sweep the grave.

Because there was an advance notice a year ago, the old house was cleaned in advance, and the quilts in the house were dismantled and washed a few days ago, and the house was cleaned up.

Not long after the kang was burned, the temperature in the house came up, and after Li Ping'an and his wife washed up briefly, they hugged each other and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Li Ping'an got up and had breakfast at Li Shanhe, chatted with the third grandfather and three grandmothers for a while, packed up his things, and went to the ancestral grave of the Li family along the mountain road.

After paying homage to the grave of the original elders, he came back and said hello to Li Shanhe, because the Spring Festival holiday would end tomorrow, so he didn't stop too much in the village and rode his bicycle back to Sijiu City.

The way down the mountain is much easier than the uphill, and it doesn't take much effort on the way down, just control the speed and be careful not to get into trouble.

Back at home, the smell of the New Year is now strong, the streets are full of children on winter vacation gathered in groups of three or five, girls get together to play skipping rope, play house, hide and seek.

As for the boys, they played very uniformly, guns were being fired everywhere, and there were a few naughty children who were busy blowing up the dung pit.

Buy a small firecracker, remove the firecrackers one by one, light a stick of incense or a wooden branch, form a fixed fire source, light a small cannon, throw it into the dung pit of the public toilet, a group of children around the dung pit to check the dung water from the firecrackers, the whole street is filled with a smell of thatched pits.

Covering his nose and returning to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and the two were not at home, asked the neighbors in the courtyard, learned that Yi Zhonghai and the two went out shopping, and after knowing the whereabouts of the old two, Li Pingan thanked the neighbors, went into the kitchen to heat up the leftovers of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Ding Qiunan simply filled his stomach.

"I'm going to work tomorrow, when are you going to pick them up from my parents" Back in the house, Ding Qiunan cleaned up the house while discussing the affairs of Ding's father and mother with Li Ping'an.

Although Sanhe is not far from Sijiu City, it is also sixty or seventy kilometers away, if you don't go home to the grave, you can indeed go to Sanhe Ding Qiunan's mother's house.

But doesn't this mean that you need to go back to the grave, so Li Ping'an and Ding Qiunan discussed, and they didn't go back to their parents' house during the Spring Festival, and waited until two days before the Lantern Festival to pick up Ding's father and mother from Sanhe, and the family spent a Lantern Festival together.

"After I start going to work tomorrow, I will be busy running the family building in the factory, and it is estimated that I will be busy for a few days, and when I am done, I will immediately go to Sanhe and take the old couple over" Li Ping'an thought about it and said to Ding Qiunan.

Due to the fact that during the Spring Festival, Mr. Wang's son's family came back for the New Year, Li Ping'an did not have the opportunity to raise the matter of building a family building in the factory, so he could only wait until the third year of junior high school to start work, and personally go to Mr. Wang's office to run about this matter.

Ding Qiunan nodded in understanding, and did not continue to discuss this topic later, but chatted with Li Ping'an about whether he wanted to go out for a walk in the afternoon.

Last year, Su Ri'an for special reasons, the only temple fair in Sijiu City, the factory temple fair, was suspended, but now although there is no temple fair in Sijiu City, it is still lively during the Spring Festival, there are several Spring Festival locations, although it is not as lively as the temple fair, but compared to usual, you can still go shopping.

Coming to a Spring Festival *** location, although the street is not long, the stalls here are lined up, and the crowd is still turbulent and lively.

There are countless snacks on it, Li Ping'an can't see a lot of foreigners, Miss Xiaoding, who is greedy, is a mouse who fell into the rice tank, and bought a lot of various snacks along the way, which can be said to have been eaten from beginning to end.

Li Ping'an was holding a large amount of food in his arms, and many greedy children followed the way with saliva in the back. Ding Qiunan is also generous, looking at so many children following behind, he generously gave the snacks in his hand to these children.

This move can be regarded as blowing up the nest, and the children next to him, who felt shy and embarrassed, lost face one by one after seeing Ding Qiunan distributing snacks, and reached out to beg for it around Ding Qiunan.

Looking at so many children surrounding him, Ding Qiunan was dumbfounded, but fortunately, Li Ping'an reacted quickly, taking advantage of the fact that the children did not completely block the two, he took Ding Qiunan's little hand and squeezed out of the crowd in embarrassment.

After he couldn't see the child's figure, Li Ping'an let go of Ding Qiunan's hand, shook his head with a wry smile and said to the little Ding girl: "Look at what you provoked, we were almost surrounded and couldn't walk."

"So many children looked at me pitifully, do you think I can not give it, who knew that it would attract so many children" Ding Qiunan also knew that he had done something bad with good intentions, and bowed his head a little embarrassed and said.

With the children's interruption, Li Ping'an and his family didn't dare to continue to visit the market, for fear of being found by those children and surrounding them again.

These children's skins are thicker than you think, they are all children who have been hungry for a year, and when they see adults who are willing to give snacks to eat, then they don't want to have noodles, whether they know them or not, they will come forward to ask for them, and if you don't give them, you won't let you go.

The two of them went shopping in other places again, this time the little Ding girl had a better memory, she didn't care about the children who followed behind, she went shopping by herself, and she should not see the children following behind.

Regardless of the women of that era, there is no one who doesn't like to go shopping, Li Ping'an has seen the other side of Miss Ding today, others only shop and don't buy, Ding Qiunan is shopping and buying, spending money without blinking, quite a rich woman's meaning.

The small couple walked until the evening, until the people on *** were almost scattered, and then they left *** and rode their bicycles to the courtyard.

The prices in this era are already very low, but the prices on *** are even lower, and all the goods are about one percent cheaper than the usual things in the department store.

When they returned to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife had already returned, and they had already eaten dinner at this time, and were sitting on the stool waiting for the little couple to come back.

When an aunt saw Li Ping'an coming back with a large bag and a small bag, she hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down and eat.

"Auntie, the two of us won't eat, we ate all the way on *** in the afternoon, and we have already eaten enough" Li Ping'an waved his hand and touched his stomach, indicating that he was indeed full.

When an aunt heard that the two of them didn't eat dinner, she knew that there was a lot of food on ***, and she didn't force it, so she got up and put away the leftovers covered on the table and put them back in the kitchen.

Yi Zhonghai, who was listening to the radio, looked at Ding Qiunan with a smile and said: "Qiunan, your aunt is on *** today, I saw that things are cheaper than usual, I bought a lot of things back, and I bought a lot of them for you, you go pick and choose."

"Uncle, I also bought a lot of things for you and your aunt, let's not buy repeatedly" Ding Qiunan heard Yi Zhonghai say this, and hurriedly went over to check the items that Aunt Yi bought in the market.

These two rich women really have the same idea, and they take the opportunity to carry items cheaper than usual, and they are all carrying large bags and small bags home.

After Ding Qiunan checked the things that Aunt Yi bought, sure enough, there were many household items that were duplicated, gloves, wool, socks, and various daily necessities. Li Ping'an looked at the large number of the same items, and couldn't help but sigh that the family didn't need to buy new ones for several years.

At work the next day, Li Ping'an did not go directly to the procurement section to report, but first came to the canteen procurement unit, and did a good job of communication with the new head of the unit, and instructed the previous four subordinates to cooperate with the new leader's work, and then began to take office.

The office of the first procurement department is in the office building of the factory, and the office of the original three departments is on the first floor, and Li Ping'an is also familiar with the road.

The layout of the first procurement section is similar to that of the third section, which is a large office area for the purchaser, and the offices of the section chief and deputy section chief are in a small room.

The buyers of the first section all knew Li Ping'an, and when they saw Li Ping'an coming in, they quickly stood up enthusiastically and greeted Li Ping'an.

"Happy New Year, Deputy Section Chief Li"

"Happy New Year, Deputy Section Chief Li"

Li Ping'an smiled and nodded his head to the colleagues in the first procurement section, and did not rush to report to Wu Yajun, but stayed in the big office and chatted with everyone.

These people Li Ping'an are all old acquaintances, when Li Ping'an was a purchaser in the third department, he dealt with the second department and the third department, and he was basically familiar with them.

After chatting with these people for a while, Li Ping'an came to Wu Yajun's small office and officially reported to the section chief.

are all acquaintances, Wu Yajun didn't mean to pinch Li Ping'an, knowing that he was a passing immortal, he would not stay in the department for too long, and when Li Huaide took the position, he would definitely let Li Ping'an be promoted, it was better to be a colleague with Li Ping'an for two years with a friendly attitude, and leave an incense love, maybe he could use it in the future.

After a brief conversation between Wu Yajun and Li Ping'an, he led Li Ping'an to the office next door that was specially set up for Li Ping'an.

The layout of the office Wu Yajun is attentive, the furniture in the room is all the same, it seems that it should have been received from the material department a year ago, the sofa or something is also very magnificent, and it is rare that there is a telephone on the office.

"Section Chief Wu, my deputy section has a little bit of a telephone, don't you have one in your office? It's not suitable for me to use a telephone at this level" Looking at this telephone, Li Ping'an looked at Wu Yajun with some curiosity.

Telephones, normally speaking, will not be equipped in the office of a deputy section of Li Ping'an. There are so many departments in the factory, generally there is only one telephone, which is either placed in the large office area or in the office of the first leader, and few deputy offices are equipped with telephones.

In the past, there were telephones in the procurement unit, and that was because the procurement unit was an independent unit, and Li Ping'an belonged to the number one leader, and it was only equipped under the care of Chen Youfu, which was different from the current situation.

Wu Yajun patted Li Ping'an's shoulder with a smile, pointed to the telephone and said, "You look familiar with this telephone."

Hearing Wu Yajun's words, Li Ping'an looked at the telephone carefully with some doubts, and suddenly felt a little familiar, so he took a step forward, and after a careful inspection, he said in surprise: "Isn't this the telephone of the procurement unit?" How did you tear it down? ”

"Yes, you see it right, this is the one in your original office, haven't you been busy running the family building recently, Deputy Director Li attaches great importance to it, and specially asked Deputy Director Chen to install a telephone in your office, he wants to be able to contact you at any time, so he dismantled your original telephone" Wu Yajun was sour when he said this, and he was very envious of the factory leaders' attention to Li Ping'an.

Hearing this, Li Ping'an nodded, Li Ping'an was naturally happy to have a separate telephone, and it was convenient to make calls in his office if he needed to make a phone call outside.

After a few words of greeting with Wu Yajun, after Wu Yajun left, Li Ping'an began to clean up his new office, and as soon as he cleaned up the office, the phone rang.

Li Ping'an picked up the phone casually and identified himself. "Hey, hello, I'm Li Ping'an, a procurement department"

"Comrade Ping'an, I'm Liu Zhidong" The microphone pierced the voice of Li Huaide's secretary, Liu Zhidong.

Hearing that it was Secretary Liu, Li Ping'an's tone became casual, and he said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, I just finished this meeting, and your call came, is there any instruction from Director Li?" ”

"I'm going to be busy, let's make a long story short, just before Director Li went to the meeting, let me call you and ask about the construction of the family building in the factory, did you start doing it there?"

"No, I didn't find a chance to visit the New Year during the Spring Festival, I plan to go to the General Administration of Materials this afternoon and ask my teacher to mention this matter."

"Okay, I know, you should hurry up and do it, the factory leaders attach great importance to this matter, and the first meeting of the factory leaders in the new year mentioned the matter of the family building."

"Don't worry, I'll call the General Bureau later, and I'll notify you as soon as there is news."

"With your words, I'm relieved, then let's do it first, I'll wait for your good news"

"Okay, you get busy first"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ping'an looked at the time on his watch, it was already eleven o'clock, and Mr. Wang didn't know if there was a meeting.

After thinking about it, Li Ping'an didn't care, picked up the phone on the table, and called to see the situation first.

"Hello, please help me pick up the General Administration of Materials, the Office of the General Bureau of Material Distribution, I will find Director Wang Yangzhi, his phone number is 0126"

"Okay, where are you?"

"Red Star Rolling Mill, Deputy Chief of Procurement Section 1, Li Ping'an"

"Okay, now it's connected for you, please wait"

Since it is not a unit, this phone call needs to be transferred to several switchboards, and after this set of processes, it is impossible to contact it in a few minutes, so Li Ping'an simply put the microphone on the table and quietly waited for the phone to be connected.

After waiting for a while, a voice came from the microphone, "Hello, I'm Wang Yangzhi, who are you?" ”
