I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 379: Lao Li's Generosity

"Brother, what time is it?"

"It's 7 o'clock. Get up. We have to go to work in the factory."

I came back yesterday and have to report to the factory today. I have to listen to the factory on how to arrange things.

Qiao Yun got up and stretched.

This small waist...

I didn't eat breakfast at home.

I took the money... and looked through the bills. Damn... they were all from two years ago. They were fucking expired.

I could only go outside and ask if there was anyone who didn't need a ticket.

The result... they all want tickets.

Well, it’s okay to skip a meal.

The two men arrived at the steel rolling mill. They should be newcomers in the past two years and did not know Bai Baoshan. However, soon someone who knew him ran over, slapped the two newcomers, and warmly welcomed Bai Baoshan into the factory.

After Bai Baoshan went in, he started speaking to the two newcomers.

There was no place else to go.

After parking the car, I went straight to the kitchen.

When Old Sun saw Bai Baoshan and Qiao Yun coming, he was so happy that the whole cafeteria was happy.

"Don't be happy yet, Old Sun. I'm hungry. Let's have something to eat first. Something simple will do. All the tickets have expired when I come back."

"Haha...Okay, boss, just wait, it will be ready soon."

Old Sun took a piece of meat from the bowl and cut it into strips quickly, while constantly giving instructions to roll the noodles quickly.

Sister Chen, who makes noodles, has the most dexterous hands. When asked to roll noodles, she would roll out a bowl of noodles directly. Her job is very good. She first rolls out the dough, then uses the big knife to move it, and shakes the noodles, and they are done.

At this time, Master Sun had also prepared the marinade.

The water is boiling here too.

Throw the noodles in, add a little water, take them out, pour two large bowls and two large spoons of shredded pork sauce on them, oh, don't mention it, it's so delicious.

Bai Baoshan took out the money and asked Lao Sun to record the ticket first. Lao Sun refused and just took out the ticket and paid the bill.

There is no way to give in. Just return it to Lao Sun after the invoice is issued.

After eating, Qiao Yun washed the dishes.

Then he went to find Sister Zhou first, and was so happy to see Bai Baoshan.

Taking Bai Baoshan with him, Qiao Yun started to work on the logistics side.

In the two years since I left, there has been almost no change in the factory.

In the breeding area, we still eat as much as we can in a week, and then the outside farms will give us some.

The largest number of pigs was more than 20, and the smallest was only five or six. As for sheep, there were only a few. These were all prepared for our worker brothers from other nationalities.

The extra ones are given to the leaders.

Since the establishment of the breeding farm, the steel mill has not obtained any unplanned materials.

There are only 200 chickens in the chicken coop now. The breeding chickens are hatched, bred and raised, which has now become a cycle in the outside commune farm.

All we need here is a few chickens to eat. We raise chickens not for laying eggs, but for eating.

As for eggs, if we need a certain amount, just let us know in advance and the farm will deliver them.

Now there are only Sun Youcai, Lu Dayong and Wang Daguo left here, which is like retirement. They are no longer busy like before, and their salary is not low, more than 40 yuan per month. They could not even imagine such a good life before.

Bai Baoshan chatted with a few people. They were all old people who had been there since the establishment of the breeding area. Six or seven years had passed in a flash. They were obviously a little old, but they were still in good health and had no worries about food and drink.

After a walk, I returned to the office. My former office was now used by Zhou Lanqing.

Bai Baoshan must have made new arrangements this time when he returned. No matter what, he would go find Li Huaide first.

He left Qiao Yun in the office while he went up to the 4th floor.

Li Huaide saw someone coming in, looked up, and saw Bai Baoshan coming in quietly. He was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha... Hey, brother, you're back."

"Hey... Brother Li, you're still so agile. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I failed. Haha..."

"Come and sit down, tell me how it goes. Your deeds have been reported in the newspapers, and the effect is no less than that of Wang Jinxi two years ago.

Especially the reservoir you built in the red zone. Experts said that if it is used well, it will last for a hundred years without any worries."

"Oh, this is all because of the people above me. I just pointed out a location and hardly touched the shovel or dug the soil. Everyone praised me so highly. I have no choice."

"This is where your popularity and prestige are placed, haha...

It's good that you're back. The higher-ups held a meeting last night to study your current situation and decided that you will be the deputy director of the steel mill and I will take over as the director. The responsibilities of the Revolutionary Committee will remain unchanged. From now on, we brothers will be in the same boat again."

"That's great, no doubt about it. If you follow Brother Li, you won't have to worry about having meat to eat.

It’s still the same as before, don’t worry, Brother Li, I will take care of the logistics for you as before, and you won’t have to worry about anything.

If you need me anywhere else, just let me know."

"The appointment from the ministry will come in two days. You came back yesterday. Do you need to rest for two days first?"

"Brother Li, to be honest, I really need to take a break for two days. Even if you didn't tell me, I have to tell you this. I haven't been home for two years, and I can't keep most of the things at home, especially the food. I have to buy everything new.

I know you have a lot of tickets here, you have to give me some so I can use them in an emergency."

"Haha... you're so rude. I don't have much here either. So, go to the finance department to collect your salary for this period of time. I'll talk to them and ask them to approve more invoices for you, and you can collect them as well."

"That's not appropriate. I'm not at work. Just approve some tickets for me."

“How can this not be counted? Building a reservoir for the Red Zone is not your job. The steel mill also contributed a lot.

Has your Qiao Yun also come back? Take her along as well.

Weren't you promoted to deputy factory director? It just so happens that I didn't ask the higher-ups to assign you a secretary, so my sister-in-law was promoted directly to be your secretary.

I'll give you two days off. Today is the 26th, and tomorrow is the 27th. You can come back to work on Saturday, and I believe the appointment from above will come down."

"Haha...Okay, then I won't be polite with you."

"Hey...is that right? What is our relationship? We are brothers. Don't make the distinction so clear."

When Bai Baoshan came out of Li Huaide's office, he had 20 kilograms of food coupons, 5 kilograms of meat coupons, 3 kilograms of lean meat coupons, 2 bags of milk powder coupons, and 10 non-staple food coupons in his pocket.

Even the rarest remittance coupons were given out in five pieces.

"Overseas Chinese Remittance Coupons" are special tickets issued by the state to encourage overseas Chinese to send foreign exchange back to their relatives and friends in China.

凡是从境外汇入外币折合人民币100元的，可凭“侨汇券”直接购买供应粮食6公斤、食油1公斤、白糖2斤、鲜肉2斤、棉布10尺。

Wow, Old Li is such a good person.

Including the overseas remittance coupons, there are also the passes of this period.

Even better than the national coupons.

Go downstairs to the finance office.

People here were already waiting, and the section chief chatted with Bai Baoshan for a long time.

The amount of money here is good. Bai Baoshan's and Qiao Yun's salaries are totaling 21 months, more than 5000 yuan, a very thick stack.

The finance staff also went to the ticketing department and got the ticket for Bai Baoshan.

I don’t care about money, but I do care about tickets.

120 jin of grain coupons, 20 jin of meat coupons, 5 jin of oil coupons, 1 jin of tea coupons, 2 jin of sugar coupons, 20 Class A tobacco coupons, and 20 wine coupons.

The cloth coupons are 20 feet, the cotton batch is 10 jin, there are 4 clothing coupons and 4 shoe coupons.

Not bad, very good, enough for myself and Qiao Yun to eat. It’s only for a few days next month. Lao Li is very generous.

After going downstairs, I said something to Qiao Yun, but the girl refused to leave and said that she needed to study, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be the deputy director's secretary.

As for Sister Zhou, Bai Baoshan also said that it was time for her to be promoted, and he would promote Sister Zhou from deputy director to director.

Sister Zhou was also very happy.

Yes, who wouldn’t be happy after getting a promotion?

Let Qiao Yun play here with Sister Zhou, then left the office, went to the cafeteria, and gave Lao Sun 3 kilograms of meat coupons.

It’s not much. I’m in a good mood today, so each of us will have an extra 2 taels of meat at noon.

After leaving the steel mill, he did not go home but rode directly towards the department store.
