Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Lin Ping drove to the office building, got out of the car and went straight to Li Huaide's office. Seeing that the door was a crack open, he knocked twice and pushed it open.

Li Huaide heard the noise and looked up to see that it was Lin Ping. He smiled and stood up and said, "Pingzi, why are you here? Is everything going well at the police station? If you are not happy at work, I will find a way to get you back."

As he said this, he personally poured water for Lin Ping. Li Huaide was not joking when he said this. Just for the fact that Lin Ping had food, he also hoped that Lin Ping could stay in the steel rolling mill. He was caught off guard when Lin Ping overturned the case, and it was too late when he was transferred to the police station.

Besides, the Security Department is under dual jurisdiction, and being transferred to the police station is a normal transfer. He can only accept it. However, if Lin Ping is willing to return to the steel rolling mill, he will try his best to get Lin Ping back. As for what the section chief Niu Dapao does, that is none of his business. These days, having supplies in hand is king.

Lin Ping certainly understood that Li Huaide wanted him to return to the steel mill, so that it would be convenient for him to get supplies. However, the security chief was now Niu Dapao, so he should not come back to cause trouble, which would not affect the relationship between the brothers. So he smiled and said, "Brother Li, I'm doing well in the police station. I have nothing to do and I won't come back to cause trouble for the factory."

Li Huaide shook his head and said, "Well, it's our steel mill that is unlucky. So why are you here this time?"

Lin Ping chuckled and said, "Brother Li, I wanted to ask you for some advice on gasoline. You know that our police station is short of gasoline. I am often out getting supplies, so the police station's car is given to me. I am not short of gasoline, so why am I bothering you, Brother Li?"

Li Huaide smiled and said, "I thought it was nothing, it's just a small matter, I'll call the transportation department and ask them to get some for you. I don't want your money, just think of me as the steel mill to support you, but you have to think of me when you have supplies, I'm having a hard time."

Lin Ping understood that Li Huaide was just crying poor, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I still have some flour and rice, do you want me to share some with you?"

Li Huaide immediately became interested. Cornmeal was for the workers to eat. If there was white flour and rice, he would also benefit from it. He could also give it to others as a favor. It would be killing two birds with one stone. So he said excitedly, "That's good stuff. Don't you know that your brother's family also eats two-grain flour (white flour and cornmeal). Your sister-in-law and the children quarrel every day."

Lin Ping also understood that even Li Huaide couldn't eat white flour every day these days, after all, the supply of fine grains was too scarce, so he smiled and said, "Brother Li, how about I give you 3,000 kilograms of white flour and 2,000 kilograms of rice?"

Li Huaide was overjoyed when he heard this. He did not expect that Lin Ping could get so much fine food. He grabbed Lin Ping's hand and said excitedly: "Pingzi, you have helped your brother a lot."

Hearing this, Lin Ping smiled and asked, "Where should I send the food for you, Brother Li?"

The reason why Lin Ping asked this was because he knew that Li Huaide would never give this batch of fine grain to the steel mill. He would definitely keep it for himself or give it as a favor. You know how precious fine grain is now.

Li Huaide laughed even more happily after hearing this. He thought about it and said, "Well, I'll call you when I'm ready and tell you the address. As for the price, don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss. How about 1.8 yuan for white flour and 2 yuan for refined rice?"

Lin Ping knew that Li Huaide was talking about the price of pigeons in the market. This price was almost ten times higher than the market price, so he waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, you are wrong. How can I make money from you when we are brothers? I will give you the same price as others give me. In this way, refined rice is 1.5 yuan and white flour is 1.2 yuan."

Seeing that Li Huaide wanted to speak, Lin Ping interrupted and said, "Okay, don't argue with me, it's settled."

Li Huaide couldn't stop smiling when he heard this. Now it's not a matter of price. It's that you can't buy fine grains even if you have money. These cadres are not short of money and are willing to spend money to buy fine grains. Besides, this is not only about making money, but also a great favor. It can make Li Huaide's circle wider. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't argue with you, but you must tell me if you have any difficulties."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry. I will tell you if I have anything to say. I haven't thanked you for what happened to my brother last time."

Li Huaide waved his hands and said, "These are all small matters. When there is a good thing, I will naturally think of my own people. Don't take it to heart. Wait for your brother to work for a while and then I will find a way to solve the problem of working for him."

The two talked for a while, and then Lin Ping said goodbye and left. However, before leaving, he took two barrels of gasoline from the transportation department, which was enough for him to use for a while.

After Lin Ping left, Li Huaide quickly asked his secretary to find a place to store the grain. These fine grains were his capital for connections and he could not afford to lose them.

As soon as Lin Ping left the steel rolling mill, he put the gasoline into the storage space. Not long after returning to the office, Li Huaide called him and said that the warehouse was ready and asked Lin Ping when he could deliver the grain.

The total of 5,000 kilograms of grain was not noticeable, so I traded it with Li Huaide outside the city in the afternoon. Li Huaide was delighted when he saw the fine grain on the cart, then he took out a stack of bills and said, "Pingzi, I see you smoke and drink, so take these bills and use them first."

Lin Ping took it and saw that they were all receipts for Taizi and Huazi. He now bought cigarettes at the Pigeon Market, and these receipts were enough to last him for a while, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Li. I'll ask you for them when I'm done."

Li Huaide nodded at Lin Ping and said with a smile, "Boy, you have got me hooked. Okay, come find me if you don't have a ticket next time."

Lin Ping laughed and said, "Okay, that's what I've been waiting for."

After seeing Li Huaide off, Lin Ping returned to the police station to continue working.

Sunday, West Wing.

He Yushui was holding Lin Qingyan's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Qingya, please help me. I am embarrassed to go alone."

Lin Qingya shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, Yu Shui, stop shaking. Can't I go with you?"

Lin Ping, who came out from the inner room, asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin Qingya, who was lying on the recliner, smiled and said, "Yushui is embarrassed to go to the matchmaker's house alone, so she wants me... Qingya to go with her."

Lin Ping smiled and looked at Lin Qingyan and said, "Then you can go with her, but you must remember to tell the matchmaker that you want a pretty girl."

He Yushui nodded and said, "Brother Pingzi, I will remember it."

After the two left, Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Brother Pingzi, if Widow Qin knew that Sha Zhu was getting married, do you think she would be so angry that she would die?"

Lin Ping shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The rain is heavy now, and Qin Huairu has no chance to get close to Sha Zhu, so she has to think of other ways for the sake of her family. Otherwise, how can her family live?"

Lin Qingya sighed when she heard this and said, "It's really difficult for Widow Qin."

Hearing this, Lin Ping sneered and said, "Don't be fooled by appearances. Have you ever thought about whether Widow Qin's family has eaten substitute foods? Is her family really unable to make ends meet? How do the people in the courtyard survive? It's because her family wants to eat good food and get something for nothing."

Lin Qingya said in disbelief: "Is it true that Widow Qin's family didn't eat substitute foods? The Jia family only has her 27.5 yuan salary. How can she survive without eating substitute foods? Besides, there is no Master Yi and Sha Zhu to help her now, so how does her family survive?"

Lin Ping shook his head and said, "Who should I ask if you ask me? I don't usually pay attention to her family, but since she is still alive, it means that Qin Huairu has thought of other ways."

Lin Qingya covered her mouth and said, "You mean Widow Qin has a new blood bag?"

Lin Ping spread his hands and said, "You ask me, how would I know? Besides, what does the Jia family's affairs have to do with us?"

The next morning.

Matchmaker Zhang thought about the conditions that He Yushui mentioned yesterday, and after some consideration, she took a bus to Qinjia Village in Changping.

Qinjia Village, Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Dashan saw Matchmaker Zhang coming and asked curiously, "Auntie Zhang, what are you doing?"

Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said, "I heard that your little girl Yanru still doesn't have a husband, so I want to find a marriage for her."

The Qinjia Village still knew about Qin Huairu's regret of the engagement. Later, Qin Yanru's arranged marriage fell through. Then there was a famine, and no family was willing to marry a daughter-in-law to increase the food supply, so Qin Yanru remained single.

Qin Dashan also wanted Yanru to get married soon so that the family could save some food, so he asked, "I wonder which young man you are talking about?"

Qin Yanru, who was working in the yard, blushed when she heard this, and Huairu's mother came over to hear which family Zhang the matchmaker was talking about.

Matchmaker Zhang looked at Qin Yanru and thought that Shazhu would definitely like this color, so she smiled and said, "Dashan, the family I'm talking about is from the city. It's fate. The man is He Yuzhu and he's a neighbor of your Huairu. This way, if Yanru marries, the two sisters will have someone to take care of them."

When Qin Yanru heard that she would live in the same courtyard with her third sister, she was not very happy. She knew how selfish her third sister was. However, she had no room to speak here and could only lower her head and work.

Qin Dashan heard matchmaker Zhang say that the man was called He Yuzhu. After thinking carefully, there was really no one named He Yuzhu in that courtyard. He frowned and said, "Auntie Zhang, I'm familiar with the people in that courtyard, but they are all the same. How can there be a person named He Yuzhu?"

Matchmaker Zhang slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory. You may not recognize He Yuzhu, but you will know him if I say Shazhu."

Qin Dashan immediately thought of Sha Zhu. Although he was a chef, he was too old. His daughter was only 22 years old. He frowned and said, "Auntie Zhang, although it is said that a chef will not starve to death in a famine, Sha Zhu is too old."

Matchmaker Zhang burst out laughing when she heard that and said, "Dashan, don't talk nonsense. Shazhu is only 24, two years older than your daughter, but he looks a little older. Besides, he is a chef in a big factory in the city and has a city hukou. What else do you have to choose? If you don't want him, I'll find another buyer."

Huairu's mother heard this and said quickly, "Don't be picky, don't be picky. It's a blessing for Yanru that a city guy likes her. Please arrange a blind date for her as soon as possible."

The reason why Huairu's mother said this was because the family was in real difficulty. If Yanru got married, the burden on the family would be reduced.

Matchmaker Zhang smiled and nodded, "That's fine. Yanru will stay at my house when I return to the city today. I will find a time to arrange for them to meet."
