Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

After reporting his work to the leader, Ye Hao went to the finance department to reimburse the expenses for the business trip.

"Xiaoye, that's awesome. Thanks to you, our bureau has been adding meals every day during this period. We basically have meat dishes every day. The fungus mushrooms from the Northeast are really delicious."

"Yes, yes, especially the stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms, the aroma can be smelled by the entire Materials Bureau."

……

Ye Hao was praised again by his colleagues in the Finance Department. He must not treat his own people badly when purchasing things from the Materials Bureau. Listening to their words, the food in the Bureau is really good during this period, but I don’t know how much food everyone will have at the end of the month. The tickets are not enough.

"Ye Hao, when did you come back?"

"Master Zhang, you just came back. Didn't you just report your work to the leader? Didn't you go out recently?"

"I just came back yesterday. There are only a few people in the Procurement Department, and you took two away..."

"Haha, I'm coming back soon."

"Okay, let's put our luggage in the office first. It's time for dinner soon. Let's go eat first. There is chicken stewed with mushrooms at noon today. Although it is not fresh chicken, it tastes not bad at all. You purchased this from the Northeast. Well, I'm not in the bureau during this period. I heard that there are good things every day. It's really a loss..."

Ye Hao and Zhang Huazheng came to the cafeteria together. When they came over, the meal was not served yet.

"Lao Zhang, are you here so early?"

"Haha, it's not because the chicken stew in your cafeteria is so fragrant that it brings out the greed in me..."

"Didn't you just eat chicken stewed with mushrooms yesterday..."

"Okay, okay, how long until the food is ready?"

"Come on, come on, hey, when did Xiaoye come back? I was just paying attention to the food in the pot and didn't see you..."

"Master Xia, I just came back today. Your skills are really good. I smelled your chicken stew just after I came back..."

"It's not that, it's mainly because the ingredients are good. Ye Hao, the ingredients you bought are incredible. They are first-rate. They are the best I have seen in all my years as a chef..."

……

"The food is ready, Lao Zhang, Xiao Ye, what do you two want to eat?"

"Lao Xia, bring me a bowl of chicken soup, three steamed buns, and a cold fungus."

"okay."

Master Xia gave Zhang Huazheng a bowl of chicken soup, which contained two pieces of chicken and two matsutake mushrooms. Looking at the chicken nuggets in the soup bucket, they are all about the same size. It seems that every bowl of chicken soup will have chicken nuggets and matsutake mushrooms. I just don’t know if everyone has two pieces or it depends on Master Xia’s mood.

"Master Xia, I want a bowl of chicken soup, a steamed bun, and a portion of cabbage."

"it is good."

I saw Master Xia picking up a spoon and giving Ye Hao a bowl of chicken soup, but his bowl of chicken soup had four pieces of chicken nuggets.

"Master Xia, this..."

"Xiaoye, I can eat this chicken soup thanks to you. I must have been hungry when I came back. Let's go eat quickly..."

"Ok."

Ye Hao took the dinner plate and came to sit opposite Master Zhang.

"Xiaoye, the food is so good today, why don't you prepare more?"

"These are enough. You know I have a small appetite..."

……

"Xiaoye, go back and rest. How many days of leave will the leader give you?"

"Two days."

"Go home and have a good rest. There have been a lot of things in the bureau recently. I don't even have time to rest. I have to go out again tomorrow. When you finish resting, you will be busy..."

Ye Hao returned to the courtyard. Perhaps because of the strong sun at noon, no one was seen outside in the courtyard.

But maybe the sound made by Ye Hao's bicycle hitting something was heard by Zhou Hai on the opposite side.

"Brother Ye, when did you come back? Didn't my brother come back with you?"

"I just came back this morning. Zhou Hua will have to wait for a while before he can come back. He's not done with things in the Northeast yet..."

"Okay. Ye Hao, do you know how to contact my brother?"

"what's up?"

"I do know the phone number of the post office in the county where you are now, but it's not easy to contact..."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that my sister-in-law often comes to see my second brother. It was fine before, but now she comes almost every day."

"If you call, you can only call the county post office, and then the post office will notify your brother, which is troublesome. Do you think you can call?"

"Forget it, let's wait until my brother comes back."

……

"Ye Hao, you're back."

"Brother Pu, didn't you go to work today?"

While Ye Hao and Zhou Haizheng were talking, Pu Xinkun came out of the room.

"I just came back last night and have today off. Have you completed your mission?"

"Well, there are a lot of things in the bureau, so I'll come back first. Zhou Hai and the others are still over there. By the way, Brother Pu, wait a minute, the leather I brought for the old man... Wait a minute, I'll put the luggage back first... Come and sit in the room first."

"No need to worry, no need to worry. I'll just wait outside."

Ye Hao opened the door and entered the room to put down his luggage. He took out two roe deer skins and two hare skins from the space. They were all bought at Founder's supply and marketing cooperative with receipts.

Ye Hao took the leather and the bill and handed them to Pu Xinkun.

"Brother Pu, I bought two roe deer skins in total. The remaining money was not enough to buy roe deer skins, so I bought two rabbit skins. This is the receipt issued by the supply and marketing cooperative. Please take a look."

"There are so many. Leather in the Northeast is cheap, much cheaper than in the capital."

"That's for sure. There are a lot of them in the mountains over there."

"This leather is so soft to the touch. Thank you Ye Hao."

"It doesn't matter, I brought you along the way..."

"Ye Hao, come to my house for dinner tonight. There happens to be a dried fish at home that the bureau distributed some time ago that you purchased from the Northeast. Let's stew it tonight. Let us have a drink..."

"No need, Brother Pu..."

"That's not possible. You have helped me so much, so I must come to eat this meal."

……

After some pushback, Pu Xinkun was too enthusiastic and insisted on letting Ye Hao go.

"Okay, then excuse me."

"Okay, then you rest first. I'll call you in the evening."

……

In the afternoon, Ye Hao read at home and didn't go anywhere.

"Brother Ye Hao, are you at home?"

"It's there."

"Your sister-in-law has already prepared the food. Come and eat."

"Okay, I'll clean up and come back"

Ye Hao packed up and came to Pu Xinkun's house with some mountain goods and a handful of white rabbit toffee.

"Brother Pu, this is some mountain food I brought from the northeast. You guys should try it too. Xiaoyu, Xiaoxue, please bring this toffee."

"Brother Ye Hao, just come here. Why are you still taking things? How can I want your things? Take them back, take them back. Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue can't ask for your uncle Ye Hao's things."

"Take it, these mountain goods are not worth much...just a few pieces of candy..." Ye Hao was still not used to going to other people's homes empty-handed.

"Then thank you brother Ye Hao, Xiaoyu Xiaoxue, thank you uncle Ye Hao."

"Thank you, Uncle Ye Hao." The two children said in a sweet voice.

Well, what Ye Hao was thinking was, 'Can I call him brother instead of uncle, but thinking about it in this era, it doesn't seem good to say that'.

"You're welcome."
