The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

"Minister, I've been traveling north and south for half a year. Can you give me a vacation so I can spend time with my family?" He Ping'an, who was missing home after being on business trips for so long, planned to stay at home for a few more days.

"Okay! By the way, the wasteland reclaimed by the steel mill has already yielded a harvest. Go there during your holidays and bring back our food!"

"That deputy director Li of the steel mill said that you were the one who worked with him at the beginning, and he would not give food to people who couldn't see you, He Ping'an! When did you become so popular?"

"Minister, I don't believe you don't know what kind of person Li Huaide is? I guess he was robbed!" He Ping'an thought of Li Huaide's face full of lawsuits, and laughed unscrupulously.

"You! Even though Li Huaide is a good person, his father-in-law is still a good person. You better be careful!"

"Yes!"

Li Huaide has been living a good life recently. He successfully tricked Director Yang and damaged his reputation. But things change, and bad things can't always happen to one person.

Well, our factory director Li has encountered a troublesome matter these days. But Li Huaide is luckier than factory director Yang, and his trouble is a happy trouble.

Nowadays, most leaders have only one thing to do when they open their eyes: to ask for help from others and find connections to get food for their subordinates. But now there is a national food shortage, so how can they get so much food?

But there is just one family that produces not only grain, but also a lot of it. How could everyone let it go! That's right, the wasteland reclaimed by the steel mill produces grain! It's called grain, but in fact it's just potatoes.

But in an era of starvation, who dared to say that potatoes were not food? So the leaders who got the news, regardless of whether they were familiar with the steel mill or not, swarmed over like sharks seeing meat.

At first, Li Huaide was very pleased with himself. He thought that the fact that so many people came to him proved that his plan was successful. Other people's factories were starving, but under his leadership, the steel mill not only did not starve, but also produced food.

This not only makes you look capable in the eyes of your superiors, but also helps you gain support from the mill employees. There are so many benefits!

But gradually, Li Huaide couldn't laugh anymore, because the people who asked him for food had changed from cadres at the same level to high-level leaders. He could refuse them without any pressure, but refusing to ask for food from high-level leaders would really test his courage and ability.

Now, for the sake of Li Huaide's father-in-law, everyone was still restrained. Li Huaide was afraid that in the future, the leaders who came to him for food would not even be able to refuse his father-in-law.

However, Li Huaide was quick-witted. After holding it in for a few days, he announced to the public that it was He Ping'an's idea to reclaim the wasteland. There was an agreement at the beginning that if the grain was produced, He Ping'an would get a share of the harvest, and he could not make the decision on his own.

This is also the reason why Li Huaide refused to give food to the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau even if he was beaten to death.

Regardless of whether it was He Ping'an's reputation or Minister Luo's support behind the scenes, there were fewer people asking him for food these days. Li Huaide now desperately hoped that his good brother would not come back too early. It would be better if he could wait until he had finished eating this batch of food before coming back!

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. As soon as Li Huaide arrived at the steel mill, the door was pushed open:

"Director Li, I heard that you've been having a good time recently!"

"Puff! Cough cough...Brother He...!" When Li Huaide saw He Ping'an, he was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of tea and kept coughing.

"Brother Li, even if we have a good relationship, you shouldn't be so excited!" He Ping'an joked with a smile.

"Brother He, you're back! I missed you so much!" Li Huaide, who had recovered from his shock, said enthusiastically.

"Miss me? You want me not to come back, right? By the way, Brother Li, congratulations on your fortune!"

Hearing this, Li Huaide pretended to be stupid and said, "Get rich, what kind of wealth! I'd be lucky if I didn't starve to death!"

"Brother, you are not being honest. Our minister told me everything. He said that you, Deputy Director Li, are very considerate. In order to wait for me, your brother, you held up that batch of grain and even offended the leaders of several departments for this!" He Ping'an said with a smile.

When Li Huaide heard this, he changed his expression and said with a wry smile:

"Brother, please stop making fun of me! You know, it's always the people below who ask for food from those above. How can the people above be concerned about the food of the people below?"

"Besides, we are just a steel mill with a few acres of wasteland, not an agricultural farm!"

"So, when do you plan to distribute the grain, brother?" He Ping'an had anticipated this situation as early as when he was reclaiming the steel mill. If people are hungry, who would care about superiors and subordinates?

"Brother, just consider it as doing me a favor!" Li Huaide looked at He Ping'an in embarrassment.

"Brother, you! I don't know what to say! Don't forget that the supplies belong to the collective, not to you personally. You can use me as an excuse now, but what about in the future? There will always be people that our Ministry of Public Security cannot stop!"

"Since you know you can't stop it, why wait for them to ask you for it? As for your thoughts, you can't choose whether to give it or not, but can't you decide who to give it to?"

"People should learn how to selectively refuse, and not refuse just for the sake of refusing! That would be bad! Watch out for others, or they might criticize you for being 'parochial'!" In view of their long-term friendship, He Ping'an decided to help him.

After hearing what He Ping'an said, Li Huaide was stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Thinking about how he had been hiding like a clown these days, he didn't care that He Ping'an was still in front of him, and slapped himself hard twice, cursing:

"What a petty person!"

"Brother, you really enlightened me! Thank you very much! I will send your copy to the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau with drums and gongs later!"

"Brother, I have a few bottles of good wine. Let Zhuzi cook some dishes for lunch. We won't go home until we are drunk!"

From then on, Li Huaide changed his mindset. He no longer held on to the food, but refused it for the sake of choice.

Although they still did not give in easily, they began to distribute food. Moreover, it was not a private gift but a public-to-public payment at the market price.

Finally, an important person around the big shot asked Li Huaide for money. He asked for one-third of the potato production, and he gave half of it. The big shot specially called Deputy Director Li to express his gratitude for his support for his work.

Afterwards, Li Huaide told his father-in-law about this incident. His father-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Originally I wanted you to wake up on your own! I didn't expect that He Ping'an would actually remind you! Are you two on good terms?"

"Not bad!" Li Huaide didn't rush to answer. He thought for a long time before answering.

"He Ping'an was originally from the Fourth Field Army. I've heard of him a long time ago. He was received and commended by the 101st Army, and the 101st Army was very optimistic about him! Unfortunately, on the Korean battlefield, I don't know how he was transferred to the rd Army!"

"You all found out later! I originally thought he was just good at fighting, but I didn't expect that at such a young age, he also understood the principles of political correctness. He really has good vision!"

"You continue to maintain your relationship with him. It's always good to have more friends! Besides..." Li Huaide's old Taishan held a high position and had heard about what He Ping'an had done.
