Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Lin An scratched his head and smiled, "I don't know either, but it may be related to Hepingzi. Director Li has a good relationship with Hepingzi."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shanhai looked at Master Lin An and said, "Don't go out and talk about this, or you'll cause trouble for others."

Lin An said seriously, "Dad, I'm not a child. Don't worry, I won't go out and tell anyone."

At this time, the workshop director came over and said with a smile: "Lin An, I received a notice asking you to report to the technical department. Remember to work hard there and don't embarrass our workshop."

Lin An nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director. I will do my best and not bring shame to our workshop."

The workshop director smiled and said to Lin Shanhai: "Old Lin, you have raised a good son."

Lin Shanhai quickly waved his hands and said, "Director, you are joking."

Everyone thought that the director was praising Lin An, but in fact he was praising Lin Ping. He had long since joined Li Huaide, so of course he knew some things about Lin Ping. He came here in person to do Lin Shanhai a favor, so that he could speak up when he had problems in the future, right?

At this time, the workshop radio also sounded.

"Dear fellow workers, Comrade Lin An from our workshop is conscientious and responsible in his work. After consultation with the factory leaders, he has been transferred to the technical department as a dispatcher and will enjoy the treatment of a level 6 clerk..."

"Dear fellow workers, Comrade Lin An from our workshop is conscientious and responsible in his work. After consultation with the factory leaders, he has been transferred to the technical department as a dispatcher and will enjoy the treatment of a level 6 clerk..."

"..."

Three consecutive broadcasts let the entire factory know that Lin Ancheng had been dispatched.

canteen.

Liu Li smiled and felt happy for Lin An from the bottom of her heart. Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Lin An is doing this thanks to Pingzi."

workshop.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong became even more jealous of the Lin family. How could Lin An become a cadre? He was a level seven worker and no matter how much contribution he made to the factory, he still didn't receive such treatment. This made him feel extremely unbalanced.

Although Yan Jiecheng was jealous, he didn't say anything. After all, the Lin family had given a lot of help to his family. If he said something he shouldn't, the people in the yard would drown him with spit.

Qin Huairu was regretting her decision to the point of green intestines. If she had not been short-sighted and fooled by Yi Zhonghai, the life of the Lin family would be hers now. Looking at the rosy-cheeked sisters of the Lin family, she felt extremely regretful.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, otherwise she would have spent all her money to buy one.

Propaganda Department, Xu Damao also sighed after hearing this: "Lin An has a younger brother named Lin Ping, so he will be fine in the future."

After get off work in the evening, Siheyuan immediately knew that Lin An had become a cadre.

Li Jing and Lin Yun were extremely happy when they got the news, which meant that the Lin family would have better and better lives in the future.

The two quickened their pace and returned to the back room. Li Jing came to her room impatiently and asked, "An Zi, are you really a cadre now?"

Lin An felt a little proud when he heard this, but he knew how he got this position. It had nothing to do with his own efforts. It was all thanks to Pingzi. So he said modestly: "What kind of cadre is this? I'm just a small dispatcher, and I'm doing it on the job. I can't even be considered a real cadre."

But the smug look in his eyes couldn't be faked. Hearing this, Li Jing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Virtue, you're still panting when I say you're fat. You should remember Pingzi's kindness. Don't be the ungrateful person."

Li Jing knew how her husband got his job. It was Pingzi who got her and her elder sister's jobs. If she wanted to rely on Lin An to make progress on his own, she didn't know how long it would take. She said this because she was afraid that Lin An would get cocky.

Lin An nodded and said, "I understand. Our family is what it is today thanks to Pingzi. Besides, I only have this one brother. How can I not treat him well?"

Li Jing rolled her eyes at Lin An again and said, "I'm glad you understand. Come on, I'll go help mom cook."

When I came to the kitchen, I saw Aunt San and Liu Li helping Wang Xiuzhi steam rice balls. They looked at Li Jing with envy in their eyes.

Wang Xiuzhi smiled when she saw Li Jing coming in, "You're still pregnant, what are you doing here? The kitchen is so small, don't make things more complicated."

Liu Li also smiled and said, "Yes, it's fine as long as I and Auntie San are here, you can go out and have a rest."

Seeing that the kitchen was indeed blocked, Li Jing did not insist and turned around and left.

The children report on time for mealtime, and mealtime every night is their happiest moment because only at the Lin family can they eat their fill.

Of course, Lin Xuan, Lin Qing and Hu Tou would not eat steamed corn bread, so they had already run to the west wing to eat.

The next morning.

Lin Ping arrived at the office, and before he could even sit down, Zhou Xiangqian came over. Lin Ping knew what Zhou Xiangqian was doing there, so he smiled and poured Zhou Xiangqian a cup of tea and said, "Director Zhou, how did you find time to come here?"

Zhou Xiangqian's face darkened when he heard this and said, "I don't believe you don't know why I'm here?"

Lin Ping was indeed grateful to Zhou Xiangqian for overturning his case, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Director Zhou, you decide on a number."

Zhou Xiangqian pondered for a moment and stretched out five fingers. Lin Ping frowned when he saw it. There were only a few people in the branch office, only a few times more than the police station. Could they finish eating 500,000 kilograms of food?

Zhou Xiangqian saw Lin Ping frowning and asked, "What's the matter? Are you in trouble? If it doesn't work, a little less will do."

Lin Ping thought about it and said, "Director Zhou, can I ask you why you need so much food?"

Zhou Xiangqian was startled when he heard this. He thought to himself, the branch office has five times more people than the police station. If you can give 10,000 kilograms to the police station, why can't my branch office get 50,000 kilograms? He pondered for a moment and sighed, "Pingzi, I know it's a bit much, but think about it. The branch office not only has police officers but also their families. I'm afraid this amount of food is not enough."

Lin Ping thought about it and felt that what Zhou Xiangqian said was right. With the number of family members, the amount would have to be increased tenfold. But even so, 500,000 catties was a bit much. Thinking of the risk Zhou Xiangqian had taken for his business, he nodded and said, "Okay, 500,000 catties, but let's make it clear in advance that it's all coarse grains and no fine grains."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xiangqian was dumbfounded. I want 50,000 catties, and you give me 500,000 catties? But then there was a surprise. Who would complain about having too much food now? Fearing that Lin Ping would regret it, he quickly said, "Okay, coarse grains are coarse grains. When are we going to trade?"

Seeing Zhou Xiangqian's reaction, Lin Ping knew that he had made a mistake. Zhou Xiangqian might want 50,000 catties instead of 500,000 catties. However, since the words had been spoken, there was no reason to take them back, so he asked, "Director Zhou, why don't you ask about the price of the grain?"

This time it was Zhou Xiangqian's turn to be dumbfounded. He stuttered and asked, "Didn't they say one cent per pound?"

Lin Ping shook his head and said, "The 10 cents per pound is for the institute, and I've also put in a lot myself. I can't afford 500,000 pounds if you want."

Zhou Xianxian thought about it and felt that what Lin Ping said made sense, so he asked, "Then how much do you think it costs per pound?"

Lin Ping held up two fingers and said, "Two cents, this is the same price as the steel mill. I'm just helping you guys but I'm not making any profit from it."

Zhou Xiangqian knew that Lin Ping was not making any profit from it, otherwise people would be eager to buy it even if he sold it for 50 cents. Who made the market lack food? So he simply nodded and said, "Okay, 20 cents. And get us two wild boars. The whole pig costs one yuan per pound."

Lin Ping rolled his eyes when he heard that and said, "Okay, I'll send the pigs to you after I finish pulling the food."

Zhou Xiangqian felt very relaxed after his worries were gone. He then tasted Lin Ping's tea. It was no big deal that he felt relaxed all over. He asked in surprise, "Pingzi, where did you get this tea? Can you give me some? You don't know that I haven't been sleeping well recently. I didn't expect that I felt relaxed after drinking your tea."

Lin Ping thought to himself, how could it be bad? This is a product of the Kingdom of God, so he smiled and said, "Since Director Zhou likes it, take some back later. But I don't have much left."

Zhou Xianxian laughed when he heard this and said, "Then thank you."

As they were talking, Li Shengli pushed the door open and asked with a smile, "What do you want to thank Pingzi for?"

Lin Ping saw Li Shengli coming in and said with a smile: "The director is here."

Li Shengli waved his hands and said, "There is no outsider here, so why call me director? You don't treat me as a friend."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Brother Shengli, you are not here to get money, are you?"

Li Shengli scratched his head and said, "Pingzi, since you are new here, should we give you some benefits? This will make it easier for you to start your work in the future."

Lin Ping understood that Li Shengli was thinking about him, so he smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll send a wild boar over tomorrow for everyone to share."

Li Shengli laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Don't tell me, I'm really greedy, haha."

After saying that, he picked up Zhou Xiangqian's teacup and took a sip. Then he widened his eyes and said, "Pingzi, you are not kind. You have such a good thing but you still hide it."

Lin Ping shook his head and said with a smile, "You just want tea, right? I don't have much. I'll give you and Director Zhou half a pound each."

Zhou Xiangqian looked at Li Shengli and said, "Why are you, a rough guy, drinking tea? Isn't that like a cow chewing a peony?"

Li Shengli knew that Zhou Xiangqian wanted to keep the tea for himself, so he laughed and said, "Director Zhou, I won't fight with you for anything else, but you must give me half of this tea, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."

Zhou Xiangqian was so angry that his nose almost got crooked, but he had no choice but to compromise.

In the evening, Zhou Xiangqian returned home humming a little tune. His wife Wu Mei asked him, "Did you pick up a gold ingot?"

Zhou Xiangqian said proudly, "Wife, you don't know, I got a great bargain today, how can I not be happy?"

Wu Mei asked curiously, "What big deal is that that can make you so happy?" She knew her husband's personality. He was not easily shocked by fame or disgrace, but he was able to keep a cool head, so she asked out of curiosity.

Zhou Xiangqian told his wife what happened today. Wu Mei jumped up and said, "What? 500,000 catties of corn flour? No, you have to give me 100,000 catties."

Zhou Xiangqian was regretting it so much now. How could he have forgotten that his wife was in charge of logistics? If he had known, he would not have said it. But it was too late to regret now. He could only reluctantly say, "One hundred thousand jin is impossible. Ten thousand jin is the limit."

Wu Mei's court was not crowded with people, and 10,000 catties was enough. 100,000 catties was just for her husband to negotiate the price. She immediately decided, "Okay, 10,000 catties is 10,000 catties. I'll have someone go get it when the time comes."

Zhou Xiangqian then remembered that there weren't many people in the district court. If he had known, he would have given 5,000 kilograms. But it was too late to regret now, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, but don't make this public, otherwise it will attract a pack of wolves."

Wu Mei got the desired result and nodded: "Don't worry, do you think we are all fools? We don't know the principle of making a fortune quietly."
