Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Ten pigs together weigh no more than 2000 kilograms, and each factory worker gets less than one kilogram, which is a bit too little. However, according to the current meat price, a live pig can be sold for to yuan, or more than yuan, which can be exchanged for several tons of steel bars and cement.

What they also said about using steel bars and cement to build pig pens is all nonsense. The villagers are so reluctant to use steel bars and cement in their own houses, so how could they use them to build pig pens? They are also burning newspapers at graves to fool ghosts. They must have asked for them from the steel rolling mill, and then their commune exchanged them for other things.

于是李博文加价道：“20头，10头猪给你们公社顶2吨钢筋、2吨水泥，另外10头我们按市价给钱给票怎么样？要是要粮食也行！”

Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then 20 pigs. No more. If there are more, there really won't be enough to go around!"

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll go back and report to the factory leaders tomorrow. We'll send a truck to pick up the pigs next week, and bring the steel bars and cement to you. I can confirm Chunni's job now. After the Chinese New Year, she will report directly to the steel rolling mill. She can choose between the cafeteria and the logistics warehouse."

"Hahaha, great, Chief Li, come on, let me toast you!"

Then it was time for laughter and joy.

After dinner, Li Bowen and Fox stood up to say goodbye. Director Wang saw them out. Before leaving, he held Li Bowen's hand and said, "Chief Li, don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it. My sister will go to work at the steel mill next year. Please take good care of her!"

"sure!"

As they rode their bikes back home, Li Bowen was thinking about what kind of job to assign to Wang Chunni. In fact, it was not difficult to get the recruitment quota. After all, the factory still had 20 pigs as a backup, and the factory leaders would definitely not say anything. She just couldn't be too tired. If it really didn't work out, Wang Chunni could go to literacy classes for a few months first, and then find an easy job in the logistics department.

However, the fox seemed unusually silent today. At first, Li Bowen was so busy thinking about his own problems that he did not notice this.

When he came to his senses, he realized that the fox had been silent for a long time and was just focused on riding his bike. So Li Bowen reached out and patted the fox on the back and asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about? You haven't said anything yet!"

The fox was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I was just wondering why you wanted to help Wang Chunni arrange a job?"

Li Bowen smiled and replied, "Do you even need to ask? We need Director Wang. When you went out to buy groceries, Old Wang had already made this request to me. I couldn't refuse, could I? Fortunately, we came early. If other units got there first, they would probably help arrange work for us, and then we wouldn't know who the pig belonged to."

"Alas!" The fox sighed softly.

Li Bowen gradually realized what was happening: "Something is wrong. You are not usually like this. Why are you suddenly concerned about these things? Are you also thinking about finding a job in the city?"

The fox kept silent and remained silent.

"Damn it, when did you become so shy, like a grown-up girl? If you want to go, just say so directly. Why do you have to make me guess? What if I guess wrong?" Li Bowen couldn't help but curse.

"Can we really go?" Fox slammed on the brakes, turned his head and stared at Li Bowen, his eyes full of eager anticipation.

"Get lost! You were just being stubborn! If you don't want to talk, don't expect me to help you!"

The fox grinned and said, "I knew you would have a way. You know my situation well. I eat as much as two or three people. Although I am the captain, I can't get more food. If I hadn't helped you to find food, I would probably still be hungry.

If I could work in a factory and get paid, at least I could fill my stomach! I wouldn’t have to make my wife and children suffer with me.”

Li Bowen scolded angrily: "Then why are you still holding on and refusing to tell me? Do you think you can get a job by keeping it in your heart?"

"Hehehe, I'm not afraid of causing you trouble!"

"Fuck you, are you afraid of causing trouble for me? Isn't that enough? Ride your bike for me honestly. I will ask for a spot for you when we return to the city tomorrow!" Li Bowen kicked him hard on the butt.

To the fox, this was not even a tickle. He turned around with a silly smile and said, "Hold on tight!"

"Fuck, you're a fox!" The strong push on his back made Li Bowen stagger, and he almost hit his head on the side of the car.

It was almost midnight when they got home. Because they were worried about the possibility of encountering other foxes on the road, they did not let the fox go back to their home. Instead, they prepared a bed for him in the west room of the main house for the night.

Li Bowen also told Chen Qiao about his trip to Changling Commune today. He had to go back to the factory tomorrow and come back in two days. Chen Qiao had already gotten used to this and just told him not to get too tired.

The next day, after breakfast, they loaded the pork and wolf meat they had packed onto the tricycle, which weighed about four or five hundred kilograms. Li Bowen was not going to load anything else into the tricycle, so he first sent the fox to the village entrance, and then he rode his tricycle to the city.

He still took the meat out of the space and put it in the truck bed only when he reached the edge of the city. After just a few miles, Li Bowen was very tired from pedaling hard.

This time he didn't plan to resell the meat himself, because in order to get a recruitment quota for Fox, he had to highlight his contribution. It was noon at this time, and the workers were all resting. The appearance of Li Bowen immediately caused a sensation in the factory.

The security personnel followed them from the factory gate all the way to the logistics warehouse gate. Countless workers surrounded them and said, "It's really meat. A whole truckload of meat!"

"Can we have dinner together?"

While people were still discussing, Section Chief Gao came over, squeezed into the crowd, pulled Li Bowen and asked, "How much did Bowen get?"

"About four or five hundred kilograms, this is just an appetizer!" Li Bowen said with a smile.

"What do you mean? There's more to come?" Chief Gao's face was full of surprise, and a little bit of disbelief.

"Of course I will. I will report to you later. Let's put these things into storage first!"

Seeing the meat being moved into the warehouse, the workers' enthusiasm did not diminish at all. They surrounded Section Chief Gao and asked if the canteen wanted more food.

This was not something Chief Gao could decide. In the end, Li Huaide, who was passing by, came to his rescue and said that he would report and discuss with the factory leaders before deciding whether to have a dinner. Only then did he send all the workers away.

It just so happened that Li Huaide was here too, so Li Bowen might as well report to both of them together.

In the logistics warehouse, Li Huaide stood up excitedly: "How many did you say? 20 pigs?!"

"Yes!" Li Bowen nodded.

Section Chief Gao also grabbed Li Bowen's arm, and his grip was so tight that it hurt: "Bowen, don't make a mistake. 20 pigs is not a small matter. It will alarm the factory director and the secretary!"
