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

Hearing that he had gained another two or three hundred pounds, Chief Gao smiled at first, but then he saw Li Bowen hesitated.

"But what? Just say it!"

Li Bowen lowered his voice and said, "Section Chief, those things were secretly made by the farmers in the village. There are no procedures. I have to collect them door to door. Will the factory accept them?"

Section Chief Gao was relieved: "I don't think it's a big deal. It seems that you really need to learn all these things. What are you afraid of without procedures? For such a big factory, things worth a few hundred yuan can be settled with some random accounting. Do you think that everything in our purchasing department has procedures? Just get it with confidence."

Knowing that the section chief would say this, Li Bowen smiled knowingly: "Okay, I feel relieved when you say this. This way I can get more things. Before, I was afraid that the factory would not accept them without the necessary procedures, so I didn't bring back many things."

"Hahaha, just feel free to get it back. Even if someone investigates, there are people above us who will back you up. They won't be able to find the truth from a small buyer like you."

"Okay, I'll go to the countryside in a couple of days. If the section chief has nothing else to do, I'll leave!" After finishing the business, he decided to leave. He still had a lot of things to do.

"Well, go ahead! I'll find you later if anything happens!"

After leaving the factory, Li Bowen had promised the security department of the textile factory to prepare supplies for them. In order to maintain the relationship, he had to prepare some for them.

I found a deserted place and took out a bag of cornmeal and a basket of eggs from the space. It was a difficult situation right now and I was just trying to help, so I couldn't get too many things at once.

He covered it with canvas and rode towards the textile factory. When he arrived, he rode directly into the factory and parked in the shade behind the gate. Then he waved to a few people and said, "Where is your captain?"

"I was on patrol, what's the matter?"

Li Bowen rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, go find your captain quickly, I got the stuff!"

"Really? How much did you get?" Those people surrounded him impatiently.

Someone reached out and lifted the canvas. When he saw what was inside, he was surprised and said, "Awesome, brother. I'll go find our captain right away." Then he ran out quickly.

Not long after, the man ran back with their captain.

"Did you really get it?" The captain asked Li Bowen with a look of surprise.

"Hahaha, Captain Guo, if I hadn't gotten it I wouldn't dare ask anyone to call you, but now it's in short supply everywhere and it's hard to get it! I only got these, please don't think it's too little." Li Bowen unveiled the canvas on the truck bed under the watchful eyes of several people.

"How could you complain that it's too little? We'll be satisfied as long as we have it. Thank you, Xiao Li! Thank you so much." Looking at the big bag of corn flour and thirty or forty kilograms of eggs, how could Captain Guo not be excited? He held Li Bowen's hand and shook it vigorously.

I had asked Li Bowen to help with purchasing before, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon. There are less than ten people in their team, and each person can get more than ten kilograms of food and a few kilograms of eggs. If we go to the black market and exchange all the eggs for cornmeal, it will be enough for the family to eat for at least half a month. Combined with the family's ration, life will be much better.

"Look at what you said. We are all family and brothers. Let's not talk about these things!" Li Bowen replied with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes. From now on we are all brothers. Someone come and move all the things into the inner room. Bowen, go in and sit down!" After asking several staff members to move the things, Captain Guo pulled Li Bowen back to the guard room.

After returning to the house, Captain Guo chatted with Li Bowen for a while and let him rest in the guard room before continuing his patrol. After all, he was still on duty and could not be absent for too long.

Li Bowen didn't care. Anyway, there were cigarettes to smoke, water to drink, and people to chat with. It was definitely VIP treatment.

When it was almost time to get off work, Captain Guo returned to the gate and quietly handed Li Bowen an envelope: "Thanks, Bowen!"

Li Bowen did not refuse. It did not make sense for him to help with the work and pay for it himself, so he put it in his pocket and said, "Don't be polite. I will send it to you when I get it later. I can't let you guys go hungry!"

"I feel much more at ease with your words!"

The bell for the end of get off work rang and the workers came out one after another. Li Bowen saw Yu Li's graceful figure in the crowd. He greeted a few people, then got on the cart and left with Yu Li.

After the two men left the textile factory, they did not send Yu Li home directly, but ran to the park again. Young men and women dating had no other place to go at this time, so they just found a quiet place in the park to stay.

Li Bowen collected back the money that Yu Li owed him, including the principal and interest, and waited until it was completely dark before sending her home.

The two agreed to come to Yu Li's house on Sunday. Li Bowen did not go to see her in the next few days. He had other things to do, such as collecting things. It was difficult to deal in antiques because he could not find the right person to buy them. However, stamps were easy to find. He could buy them at the post office.

Li Bowen went to almost all the post offices in the city, comparing them one by one according to the pictures provided by Wu Lei. If there were complete sets, he would buy them. If there were no complete sets, he would choose the valuable ones to buy.

"He has to be picky about things that cost only a few cents each. This person is really crazy. They are just for sending letters." Despite the impatient look of the post office clerk, Li Bowen still shamelessly selected them patiently, and eventually bought four to five hundred stamps of various types in three days.

It has come to a temporary end. All the collected information is put into the space and handed over to Wu Lei to deal with.

Early on Sunday morning, Li Bowen got up early, rode his bike to Yu Li's house, waited for her, and took her home.

Yu Li was busy preparing at home. She got up early but couldn't finish packing. Yu Haitang sat on the bed and pouted: "Okay, okay, it's beautiful enough. It's just to meet the parents. It's not a big deal! If we don't leave now, it will be dark."

Yu Li rolled her eyes at her and said nothing, but she stopped what she was doing, and as if she had made up her mind, she stood up, took a deep breath, then picked up the bag on the table and walked out.

"My dear girl, when you go to someone's house, you have to be open and aboveboard and observe etiquette!" Yu's mother shouted behind her.

"I know mom!"

Li Bowen, who was bored at the entrance of the alley, saw someone finally come out and stood up to greet him: "Are you ready? You look so beautiful today!"

"Well, okay, let's go!"

When I returned to Nanluoguxiang, the first hurdle I had to overcome was the pointing and talking of the middle-aged women and young wives at the door.

Yu Li followed Li Bowen into the courtyard with a tense face. What a familiar place. The last time she came here, she met Li Bowen at this gate, but she turned west. This time she was going to enter the east gate.

As they walked over, a pair of eyes in the west room behind them were staring at them hatefully.
