Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Director Huang followed He Daqing into the office. Seeing Director Huang being so shameless, He Daqing had no choice but to give him two packs of cigarettes.

Then he told her about his trip to Tianjin Port the next day.

After listening to this, Director Huang said with great interest: "Master He, your suggestion is good. Then we can add some variety to the dishes in our cafeteria."

"But this time when you go there, check out what good seafood there is and bring me some back. The kids at home really like to eat marine fish, which has fewer bones and is nutritious."

He Daqing nodded and said, "No problem. It's all on the way. I'll give you some of what I bring back."

The two chatted in the office for a while, and Director Huang went back satisfied. Not only did he take two packs of cigarettes today, but he also asked He Daqing to bring him some seafood, which was a big gain.

As for He Daqing, after seeing Director Huang off, he went around the cafeterias and told everyone that he would be away for two days.

Although he no longer needs to worry about the management of the cafeteria, he still has to give account of what needs to be given.

If we don't put pressure on these little bastards, they will just let themselves go.

In the evening, when the family was having dinner, He Daqing talked about going to Tianjin Port the next day.

Everyone was very interested when they heard it.

Yu Shui immediately said, "Dad, bring us more seafood when you come back. I like fried hairtail the most, and I haven't eaten it for a long time."

Sha Zhu also said hurriedly: "Yes, Dad. I heard that there are many good things on the beach. Bring back some sea cucumbers. I will make a dish of sea cucumbers with scallions for everyone to try."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring it back for you. Just food!"

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "I'll make you some pancakes later. Take them with you on the road tomorrow. I guess there won't be many places to eat along the way."

He Daqing nodded and said, "My wife is really good to me and cares about me. Unlike these two ungrateful people, they only care about their own food."

A good meal suddenly tasted like dog food. Yu Li blushed when she heard her father-in-law's cheesy words, and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Chen Xueru gently touched He Daqing and said, "What are you talking about? The children are watching here."

He Yushui curled her lips. She was used to it. Her father would always show off his love for her, and she often ate it.

"Dad, look at what you said. A few days ago you said I was your little cotton-padded jacket, but now you've become an ungrateful person? Then I will ignore you from now on."

He Daqing laughed and said, "I didn't say anything about you. You have always been your father's little cotton-padded jacket. How could I possibly say anything about my precious daughter?"

These words immediately made He Yushui happy and he smiled proudly.

Sha Zhu thought about it carefully and realized that if this was not referring to his sister, then it would mean that he was an ungrateful person.

He wanted to make some excuses here, but after seeing the look in He Daqing's eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Forget it. This isn’t the third or fourth time I’ve been scolded. I’ll just have to endure it.

After dinner, Chen Xueru was going to prepare dry food for He Daqing, but Yu Li and Sha Zhu rushed to do it, so she had to prepare some clean clothes and toiletries for He Daqing.

The next day, He Daqing went out with a big bag.

Inside are the food, spare clothes and other things that Chen Xueru prepared for him.

In fact, He Daqing’s own space was filled with everything, and bringing the bag was just an excuse to cover it up.

When they arrived at the steel mill, the convoy was already ready, waiting for him and Li Huaide to come.

Since this was the first time we went there, the factory sent a large truck and a jeep to explore the area and see what was going on there.

After a while, Li Huaide came over with two people.

After the introduction, He Daqing also got to know these two people.

One of them was a clerk in the Finance Department, named Xiao Zheng, who was responsible for all the expenses this time.

The other one is the deputy chief of the purchasing department, who is about 30 years old and his name is Feng Tao.

It seems that the factory attaches great importance to this purchase and has sent people from two or several departments to act together.

After everyone got to know each other, Li Huaide started to take people into the car.

He Daqing, Li Huaide, Xiao Zheng from the Finance Department, and Feng Tao sat in the jeep. The driver was a young man from the transport team.

A large truck followed behind, with two drivers and a security officer on board, all armed.

This time we are in an unfamiliar place, so if there is any danger, we can deal with it in time.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, everyone set off by bus.

After leaving Sijiu City, the road outside slowly started to become bumpy.

Compared to later generations, today's transportation is far behind. Cars are not good to begin with, and the roads are all dirt. It takes four or five hours to drive from Sijiucheng to Tianjin Port.

If something happens on the way, or if you stop to eat a meal and rest, it will take more than this time.

He Daqing sat in the bumpy jeep, looking at the desolate scene on both sides of the road.

Logically speaking, this is the time when winter wheat absorbs the melted snow and starts to grow.

However, the fields are now covered with withered yellow weeds, and there is no trace of the lush greenery of previous years.

He Daqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that this year's disaster will be even more serious.

Li Huaide heard He Daqing sighing, turned around and asked, "Master He, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

He Daqing pointed to the scene outside and said, "Director Li, look at the scene outside. The situation this year is not optimistic. I think we must make long-term plans. I am worried that the disaster situation will become more and more serious in the future."

Li Huaide looked at the desolate scene outside and frowned slightly.

What He Daqing said was what he was most worried about. Many people were counting on a good harvest this year so that everyone would no longer go hungry.

However, people in the old city seldom go out to see what’s happening outside, and anyone who has gone out would not hold out hope for this year’s harvest.

Li Huaide was in charge of logistics, so he was the first to have a headache when something like this happened. Now he had no good way to solve this problem.

Thinking of this, Li Huaide also sighed like He Daqing.

"I hope the situation in other places will be better in the second half of the year. Otherwise, if it continues like this, someone will die."

He Daqing looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "Don't even think about other places. Many places are even more miserable than ours, and many people have already starved to death."

"I still have some immature ideas here. Let's discuss them after we return."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide immediately turned around and looked at He Daqing with a passionate look. It was really more passionate than when he looked at his first love.
