Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

As for the fear of public speaking, Li Weidong was just pretending. He should properly hide his shortcomings in front of his leader. Otherwise, if he knew everything, what would be the value of the leader's existence?

We need to leave room for leaders to show their wisdom. While they were talking, the workers had already lifted Xiao Zhuang off the car. One hundred and eighty kilograms of pork was not enough to be distributed among so many workers. After discussion, the leaders thought that it would be difficult to be fair if raw pork was distributed, and there would always be people who would be dissatisfied. Finally, Director Yang decided to let He Yuzhu prepare a few hard dishes so that everyone could eat.

Considering that the factory canteen also receives family members, if there is no restriction, many people may not be able to eat. So they decided to only issue meal coupons to workers in the factory, and they can eat with the coupons, regardless of the person. People who don't want to eat pork can also transfer meal coupons, and the factory will not interfere. However, Li Weidong won face for the factory, and he should show some appreciation. Rewards and punishments are clear, and those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished, so as not to hurt people's hearts.

After discussing with Deputy Director Li, Director Yang decided to give Li Weidong an extra meal coupon. This guy just got married, and he has to take care of his wife. In addition, a pair of pig intestines was rewarded. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can also follow suit to bring honor to the factory. The factory will never be stingy. In this era of material scarcity, pig intestines are more precious than money, and are good things that money cannot buy.

When Director Yang told Li Weidong about this decision, he was ecstatic. In this era where rewards are usually just verbal praise and physical prizes are rare, this pig intestine is the result of his labor, and he decided not to give it to his uncle Mr. Yu. Li Weidong was already thinking about how to let Sha Zhu cook delicious food with this intestine.

After discussing how to deal with the pork, everyone faced another serious question: who would be responsible for slaughtering the pigs?

Although He Yuzhu is the chef in the factory and can kill chickens and ducks, killing pigs is a new thing for him. Killing a pig is not as simple as stabbing it a few times. There are many details involved, including bleeding, scraping and cutting the pork. Pig blood is very precious, and there are many cooking methods after it is made into pig blood cake. In order to preserve pig blood, the pig must be killed with one knife, otherwise the pig will struggle and cause blood loss. He Yuzhu feels that this is difficult. If it is not handled properly, it will not only waste pig blood, but also cause trouble. However, if it is not killed, it will also attract criticism. In the end, He Yuzhu can only turn to Li Weidong for help. After all, from childhood to adulthood, Li Weidong is an all-round genius. He can learn anything once he learns it, and he can do anything. As long as there is a problem, it is always right to find Li Weidong.

Seeing Sha Zhu's pleading eyes, Li Weidong immediately understood what he was thinking.

Now Zhuzi has not turned into an ultimate bootlicker yet, and the relationship between the two is still pretty good, so it doesn't hurt to help him once.

Well, he mainly wanted to taste the pig blood cake, it would be a pity to waste it! So he nodded to Zhuzi to show his agreement.

He Yuzhu was immediately overjoyed. Apart from not knowing how to bleed, he was quite capable in other aspects. As long as he passed the first level, the rest would not be a problem. So he patted his chest and agreed to it with his leader.

Then, everyone pushed the pig in. It was too late to slaughter the pig now. The tools were not ready yet, and we had to issue meal coupons, etc., which all took time. Finally, after discussion among the leaders, it was decided to slaughter the pig on Friday.

He Yuzhu's apprentice Ma Hua has experience in raising pigs, so he took the initiative to take on the task of raising pigs. As long as the pigs don't get too thin in the next few days, it will be a great achievement.

Ma Hua was also very smart. He understood that the whole factory valued Zhuang Zhuang's presence, which was related to whether everyone could eat pork. Even if he had some ideas in his mind, he could only hide them in his heart. Otherwise, not only would the factory leaders not let the person who did it go, but the workers would also not agree.

After Li Weidong drove the truck back to the parking lot, he handed the receipt to Niu Yong. According to the team's regulations, drivers can rest for half a day after a long trip. After Li Weidong said hello to the drivers, he prepared to go home. As soon as he walked out of the team's lounge, he ran into Yu Haitang and was almost scared by her.

Li Weidong glared at Yu Haitang in anger: "Girl, you appear and disappear like a ghost. Don't scare me to death or I will teach you a lesson!" Yu Haitang made a face at Li Weidong and said coquettishly: "My sister can't bear to do that!"

Then, Yu Haitang noticed the cloth bag in Li Weidong's hand. She knew that drivers would always bring back something every time they went out, sometimes delicious food, sometimes practical items, anyway, they would never return empty-handed. She looked at him and asked, "Brother-in-law, what good things did you bring back this time?"

Li Weidong squinted at his sister-in-law: "What's your point?" Yu Haitang said with a chuckle: "Brother-in-law, my sister always saved delicious food for me. After she married you, she always said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Is it your turn to take over this task now?"

"If you want to eat, just say so. Why are you making up so many excuses?" Although Li Weidong said this, he still took out a bag of dried sweet potatoes from his cloth bag and handed it to her. Yu Haitang was overjoyed when she saw it and reached out to take it, but Li Weidong dodged her. "What's the hurry? You have to come here first. Are you here just to ask for food?" Yu Haitang first said flatteringly: "Of course, I want my brother-in-law to take the trouble to come and see you on our behalf."

"Speak human language." "Oh." Yu Haitang adjusted his expression and said, "Actually, the leader sent me to discuss the speech with you."

Li Weidong shook his head: "I know you have this little trick. Just prepare it and hand it to me directly. Remember, emphasize the importance of leadership and the spirit of the steel plant, and try to mention me as little as possible." Yu Haitang was a little confused after hearing this. She thought this was a good opportunity, so she naturally exaggerated her role. She told Li Weidong her thoughts, but Li Weidong still shook his head. He thought this girl was not conscious enough.

If you only want to be in the limelight, what will the leader do? On the contrary, the less you emphasize yourself, the more the leader will value you. Anyway, the credit is all yours, so you might as well take this opportunity to flatter the leader. Since Li Weidong insisted, Yu Haitang couldn't say anything more, so he took the dried sweet potatoes and ran away.

Li Weidong shook his head, whistled, and rode his bicycle to the vegetable market. There was still some time before the end of get off work, so he could go to the vegetable market first and then pick up Yu Li at the street office. Cui Dake's bacon and sausages were collected by Nanshi Commune, and later most of them were handed over to Li Weidong. Stir-fried with garlic sprouts, the taste is wonderful. But it is not easy to buy garlic sprouts at this time. If you cut a taro and steam it with bacon and sausages, the taste will not be much worse.

After visiting the market, Li Weidong felt that it would cost a lot of money to get these things done. Alas, the money was not enough. He had to find a way to go to the south as soon as possible.

After buying vegetables, Li Weidong leisurely came to the street office. Everyone here is familiar with him, and people often greet him. He will also respond. Except for the elderly, those under 60 years old are affectionately called "big sister" or "big brother". If he meets people of the same age, he will treat them as young people.

With this eloquence, Li Weidong soon became familiar with the old men who were playing chess at the entrance of the street office. One of the old men even offered to introduce his granddaughter to Li Weidong. Li Weidong was shocked and quickly refused. The main reason was that the old man was as burly as a bear, with a rough face, and it was estimated that his descendants would also inherit his genes. Li Weidong shuddered at the thought of facing a woman whose arms were thicker than her thighs. After declining the old man's kindness, Li Weidong didn't dare to stay there any longer, and ran to the big locust tree to wait quietly for Yu Li to get off work.

Ten minutes later, Yu Li finally came out, but she was chatting with her colleagues and didn't see Li Weidong sitting across from her.

It was not until a colleague reminded her that Yu Li realized what had happened. Her eyes lit up and she quickly ran towards Li Weidong. Although she was filled with joy at seeing him, Yu Li still remained restrained. After all, people in this era are still relatively reserved, and overly intimate behavior in public would be considered inappropriate.

"Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say you would come back tomorrow?" Yu Li asked. Li Weidong smiled and gently scratched her nose: "What's wrong with coming back earlier?" Yu Li's face suddenly turned red. She looked around carefully and made sure that no colleagues noticed this place. She was relieved. She was worried that others would see Li Weidong's actions just now, which would make her feel very embarrassed.

"Of course, I'm just worried about your safety." Yu Li explained.

"It's okay. Niu Meng has already mastered the skills. We can take turns driving. It's not too tiring." Li Weidong comforted her.

"That's good. You won't have to be so tired when you go out next time."

Seeing that Li Weidong had lost some weight, Yu Li felt a little distressed. Long journeys, irregular diet and sleep, plus driving required a lot of energy.

"Okay, let's not stand here. I've already gone to the market to buy some vegetables, as well as some bacon and sausages sent by Nantai Commune. I'm going home to prepare a sumptuous dinner! Oh, and I have good news for you. I brought back a pig this time, and the factory gave me two meal coupons and a pig's intestine as a reward."

"Really? That's great!"

The couple walked home while chatting. Their backs intertwined in the sunset, giving people a very delicious feeling. After returning to the courtyard, they did not rush to make dinner, but began to sort out the things Li Weidong brought back. Although the things sent by the country people were not many, there were many kinds. Meat was rare in the countryside, and most of the things they sent were local specialties made by themselves, such as dried sweet potatoes.

These things may seem ordinary in the future, but they are very important gifts and exchanges in this era. The couple sorted and sorted them with great interest, putting the better things into the cabinet. Yu Li looked up at Li Weidong from time to time, and began to admire his calm look secretly.

She was very glad that she married Li Weidong. If she had married the Yan family, her life would definitely be worse than it is now. She would be controlled by her parents-in-law and have younger brothers and sisters. Life would definitely not be easy. Compared with the eldest son of the Yan family, Li Weidong's ability is simply a world of difference. She felt that marrying Li Weidong was the best decision of her life.
