Li Ping'an turned sideways with a slight embarrassment to make way for Qin Jingru to walk over smoothly, and the two did not have a trace of conversation throughout the whole process.

After walking a distance, Qin Jingru stopped, secretly turned his head and glanced in the direction where Li Ping'an was just now, and after finding that Li Ping'an had gone back, a trace of loneliness flashed on Qin Jingru's face, and he walked towards the toilet with his head stuffy.

After pouring the night pot and returning home, looking at the empty bed at home, thinking that Xu Damao didn't know which woman he spent the night there last night, Qin Jingru sighed deeply and began to light a fire to prepare his breakfast.

After the meeting in the morning, as soon as Li Ping'an returned to the department, Zhang Daquan came up shyly and said with a smile: "Alas, Section Chief Li, I remember that Xu Damao and you are from the same hospital, right?" ”

"yes, why are you asking this?" Putting down the notebook in his hand, Li Ping'an asked curiously.

Hearing Li Ping'an ask, Zhang Daquan looked at Li Ping'an with a surprised face: "You don't know yet?" ”

"What should I know?" Li Ping'an looked at Zhang Daquan in confusion, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Xu Damao was reported to have broken shoes, and the factory has intervened in the investigation this morning, and it has been spread everywhere early in the morning, I thought you already knew about it."

"What? Really? ”

"There can be a leave for this, Section Chief Wang of the Security Section in the morning, before he went to work, he went to Xu Damao's office to investigate"

Hearing that this was the case, Li Ping'an nodded thoughtfully, and in connection with the performance of the stupid pillar in the morning, he could probably guess who reported it.

"Okay, now I'm on duty, don't discuss these gossips, work hard, the deputy department in our department is still empty, you work hard, maybe you will have a chance to do the deputy department"

"Okay, okay, I'll go to work immediately, section chief, I think with our relationship, you don't need to paint a cake for me, I'm already thankful that I can be the head of the unit, you should say this to other comrades."

Zhang Daquan, an old fritter, has been in the agency for so long, and he naturally knows how many catties and taels he has, that is, he became the head of the unit because of Li Ping'an's care, and he can't even think about the position of deputy section.

Looking at Zhang Daquan who returned to his position with a hippie smile, Li Ping'an smiled, this old thing is really mixed up in the organ, and the pie painted is not eaten at all.

After a brief chat with everyone in Corey, Li Ping'an sneaked out, planning to go to Silly Zhu to talk about the ingredients for the full moon wine.

When he came to the cafeteria, he didn't see the figure of the stupid pillar, and after a little thought, Li Ping'an went directly to the security department.

There is still some distance from the security department, and Xu Damao's voice shouting injustice can be faintly heard in his ears.

When Li Ping'an arrived, there was already a circle of people watching the excitement at the door of the security department, and among so many people, he was a stupid pillar who couldn't find the north, and grinned at the door with a big mouth.

"I said Brother Zhuzi, you are not staying in the cafeteria, what are you doing at the gate of the security department?"

Silly Zhu turned around, and after finding that it was Li Ping'an, he hurriedly beckoned Li Ping'an to come closer and listen to how Xu Damao was quibbling inside.

It's not two women fighting, Li Ping'an is not particularly interested in this matter, this is about to be the time to do the full moon wine, Comrade Lao Yi's battle this time is so big, Li Ping'an is very worried that he will not be able to make up twenty tables of meat and vegetables,

Forcibly pulling the reluctant stupid pillar to a vacant place where no one was around, Li Ping'an began to inquire about Yi Zhonghai's preparation of ingredients.

Speaking of business, the expression on Silly Zhu's face softened slightly, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff before slowly shaking his head

"It's not ideal, an uncle's connections are in the technical work, this kind of procurement work has no way, can only be found on the black market, but the situation on the black market I think you also know, the purchase of three or five tables is no problem, more definitely not, I begged grandpa to tell grandma can only help an uncle prepare ten tables of dishes, meat is no way at all, there is still a gap of five tables on the dish, meat depends on whether the wild boar can get"

The gap in the five tables is really not a small amount, with the high probability that Yi Zhonghai's way will not be able to get it, even if it can be obtained, the cost is not small, as for the wild boar, the chance of luck is too great.

After knowing the specific situation, Li Ping'an scratched his hair, this old man is so difficult now, he still doesn't let himself interfere, and he wants to prepare the materials for the twenty tables of dishes by himself.

"That, Brother Zhuzi, I'll ask you a little favor"

Now that he knew the specific situation, Li Ping'an decided to secretly help Comrade Lao Yi prepare the materials to meet Lao Yi's wish.

"You say, what do we have to do with it, don't talk about a small favor, it's a big job, as long as you find me, then I can still help you"

"The vegetables and meat that my uncle needs over there, if he has enough things to make up, you can tell me secretly, and I will make them up."

"What do you mean by that? You are a family, you just say no to the uncle, why do you secretly help make it up? Silly Zhu asked puzzled.

Glancing at the stupid pillar, Li Ping'an sighed secretly in his heart, this stupid pillar's cleverness was used to fight wits and courage with Xu Damao, and he was completely a fool in terms of human feelings, no wonder he could be fooled into being like that bear in the TV series.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, don't ask, just do what I just said, you give me a list, I'll prepare the materials, after this time, I'll invite you to dinner to express your gratitude"

After taking out the pen and paper he brought with him to record all the ingredients he needed, Li Ping'an declined the invitation to watch the show, said goodbye to Silly Zhu and left, and hurriedly went to find someone to help purchase this batch of ingredients.

It's not that Li Ping'an's own warehouse doesn't have these dishes on the list, but like pork, the taste of things in this year is very different from those in later generations.

The vegetables in the warehouse are all genetically modified and technologically driven, can they be the same as those that are carefully bred and grown in the countryside now?

Since coming here, those vegetables and meat in the warehouse can't be eaten by Li Ping'an at all, it is simply a heaven and an underground, completely the same shape, but two different varieties of things.

found the head of the procurement unit, and had a brief chat with the other party with a cigarette, and the other party immediately patted his chest to ensure that he would help Li Ping'an purchase on time.

After solving the vegetable matter, Li Ping'an pondered where to get some meat for Comrade Lao Yi to come back, as for the matter of following the commune to hunt wild boars as mentioned earlier, it was really a bit unreliable.

The year before last was okay, there would be some harvest on a large scale into the mountains, but in the past two years, the various communes below have opened up a large area of wasteland for farming, resulting in a significant reduction in the habitat of wild boars.

According to the chat with the head of the canteen procurement unit just now, there have only been a few sporadic wild boars around Sijiu City that have been caught since the beginning of this year, and it has not happened for a long time to catch more than a dozen wild boars at one time the year before last.

Just when Li Ping'an was thinking about where to get some pork back, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly came over: "Ping'an, there is a letter from the commune below, saying that I will go into the mountains early tomorrow morning to hunt wild boars, I will tell you, I will prepare to go to the countryside later, you take care of Lele in the past two days"

"So fast? Uncle, I think you should think about it again, this wild boar is not so easy to fight, and it is still dangerous in the mountains, how about I find a way to get you enough pork in the past two days? ”

"Okay, I'll leave all Lele's full moon wine to me, don't worry about it, I'll definitely get the pork back"

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's eyes that could not be refused, Li Ping'an knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he simply stopped persuading, but nodded slowly, and did not continue to prevent Yi Zhonghai from entering the mountain.

After Yi Zhonghai saw Li Ping'an nodding, he was very happy in his heart, and said confidently: "Okay, I won't tell you more, you have taken care of Lele in the past two days, and the comrades of the commune are still waiting for me outside, so I will go to the countryside first, and you will wait for my good news at home."

After finishing speaking, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly ran towards the gate of the rolling mill.

After Yi Zhonghai met with the people waiting for him at the gate of the steel mill, he chatted briefly, and without even returning to the courtyard, he got on the donkey cart to the countryside.

After an afternoon of bumps on the donkey cart, in the evening, the donkey cart arrived in a small village in Huairou, and met with local old friends for a meal, Yi Zhonghai in order to maintain the best energy, did not drink that night, and went to bed early after greetings.

As soon as the sky was dawning, Yi Zhonghai, who had already gotten up, picked up an old Zhongzheng rifle sent from the militia, picked up the bullet and followed the militia platoon up the mountain to hunt.

"Peace, you said that your uncle has never hunted, can he catch a wild boar this time?"

"It's hard to say, I heard that there was a platoon of militiamen who went up the mountain with weapons, and if you are lucky, you should be able to hit it"

"Alas, you can fight the best, otherwise your uncle will have such a big battle this time, if there is no meat on the table, it will be a shame and thrown home"

At the dinner table, an aunt and Li Ping'an chatted about Lao Yi's trip to the countryside and the wild boar.

"You don't have to worry too much, I have already written to Lijia Village, and the pheasants and hares are already being prepared over there, and in the end, if there is really no pork, you can take some rabbit meat and chicken to top it."

"That's not good, how can you call it a banquet without big meat on the table" Speaking of this, an aunt stopped, looked out the door, and continued in a low voice: "If your uncle didn't hit the wild boar, then go to the black market and find a way to buy some pork at a high price, do you think it's okay?" ”

"No, this scene made me too big, I won't talk about vegetables or anything, but meat must come from a regular source, if you go to the black market to buy meat, it is easy to be reported" Li Ping'an didn't need any thinking and immediately rejected the proposal of an aunt.

Hearing this, Aunt Yi sighed deeply and did not continue to speak, but from her brows twisted into Sichuan characters, it can be seen that Aunt Yi is now very worried about the source of pork on the table.

Li Ping'an did not continue to comfort, and after breakfast, he teased the child twice, then picked up his briefcase and rode a bicycle to work in the rolling mill.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the rolling mill, I saw Qin Jingru walking into the rolling mill with a lot of things.

It is not surprising that Qin Jingru appeared in the rolling mill, this time someone in the security department wanted to use the report letter to get Xu Damao, after Xu Damao was arrested yesterday, he has not been released, Qin Jingru is now holding something to the factory, it is to send living materials to Xu Damao.

In these years, no matter which unit closes the person, it only cares about three meals a day, and does not provide daily necessities, and all clothes and quilts must be delivered by the family.

Due to the embarrassing incident last time, Li Ping'an did not step forward to greet Qin Jingru, but rode a bicycle past Qin Jingru.

Li Ping'an did not rush back to the first procurement section after the meeting, but first came to the publicity department to find Zhao Guodong to take the photos that he had entrusted him to help wash two days ago.

As soon as I opened the door of the Propaganda Section, I heard Guan Cuicui and several other well-known gossip experts in the factory discussing gossip.

"I guess, this Xu Damao's concubine must be the widow Qin in the previous workshop, I have seen the two of them in the canteen very tightly before, and Xu Damao also cooks for the widow Qin"

"Yes, yes, I saw it that time, and I heard that the two of them also drilled a small warehouse in the factory."

"If you want to say that, then it's really possible, if Widow Qin is not Xu Damao's concubine, then why didn't Widow Qin be transferred to the nursery not long after Xu Damao became the director?"

Now the biggest news in the factory is that Xu Damao was reported because of his life style, and no matter where the factory goes, there are people discussing this, among which the whole factory is guessing who Xu Damao's concubine is, and the whole factory is particularly hot.

Pulled Zhao Guodong out of the gossip crowd, and after getting his photo, he didn't continue to stay in the propaganda department to listen to the gossip, and went directly back to the office of the first procurement section.

It's not that Li Ping'an doesn't want to hear it, but his identity is different now, and it's not suitable for him to participate.

Back in his office, Li Ping'an sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, admiring the photos he took on this desert trip.

After this trip to Lop Nur, Li Ping'an set a goal for himself, and when he was reopened, he must take Ding Qiunan to see the desert and have fun for two days.

At the end of the morning of fishing, when eating in the canteen at noon, I met Wang Youde, the chief of the security section responsible for handling the Xu Damao incident, and the two chatted briefly in the canteen, Li Ping'an curiously asked Wang Youde about the situation of the Xu Damao incident.

Wang Youde and Li Ping'an have a good relationship, and they both belong to the same small faction, so naturally they will not be wary of Li Ping'an, and generously told Li Ping'an all the progress of the investigation against Xu Damao.

From the news revealed by Wang Youde, Li Ping'an came to a conclusion that Xu Damao was finished this time.
