Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Miyun Road

Chen Wei drove a jeep with Zhang Renkang and two accountants sent by the Financial Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. To be honest, it was really painful to travel long distances at this time. Even in the vicinity of the old city, the bumps along the way made the two accountants in the back seat vomit twice on the way. They clutched the backpacks in their arms with pale faces. There was cash in the backpacks for this transaction. No matter how uncomfortable they were, they dared not let go.

Chen Wei said with a smile

"Director, we are now one hour away from Tongjunzhuang Commune along the main road."

Zhang Renkang opened his eyes and looked around. He had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He didn't know where he was now.

After get off work yesterday, I went to Qianmen Street to find Qin Jingru to comfort this silly girl. Under Qin Jingru's silly and coquettish scolding, I had to go three times. Then I went to Lou's house in the evening to comfort Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was even more excessive. Knowing that they would be separated in a few days, she kept asking for more. The second floor of the Lou family villa was always noisy all night. When Zhang Renkang left, he was trembling and drank the old ginseng soup prepared by Lou Tan downstairs before he had the energy to go back to the courtyard.

Zhang Renkang yawned and said

"Almost there?"

“This road is difficult to walk on”

Chen Wei said with a smile

"Yeah, I was wondering if we still have chicken and duck eggs this time?"

"With this road condition, how many pieces will be broken along the way?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Let's see if this pallet produced by the production department can be used. If it doesn't work, we really need to think of another way later."

When Zhang Renkang returned the day before yesterday, he asked the production department to produce fifty trays that could hold a hundred eggs according to his idea. He also made a special box to fix the box. He used a forging hammer to punch a hundred small depressions on the trays according to the size of eggs. He also asked some workers to pad the trays with cotton cloth obtained from the textile factory.

Soon, when the sun was high in the sky, the outline of Tongjun Village appeared in front of the convoy. Liu Haosheng and his party had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing the convoy coming from a distance, everyone smiled with relief. In fact, they were also worried that Zhang Renkang would not be able to come on time today. Although they had live pigs and other meat, there were not many factories and units that could trade cotton cloth.

Nowadays, textile factories cannot sell cloth as they wish. They must first meet the plans of the superiors to have a surplus. Zhao Jianjun and his team were able to transfer so much thanks to the two production lines that were suddenly added after the expansion of production, and the superiors had not yet allocated the excess production.

Zhang Renkang jumped off the jeep and walked forward with a smile, shouting

"Brother Haosheng, Brother Li, why are you guys waiting here?"

Li Haitao said with a laugh

"Since you are coming today, can we not come out to greet you?"

Li Haitao said with a smile

"Three of the fattest pigs, each weighing about 400 pounds, have been tied up in the village, waiting for you to come to the site to slaughter them for you, so that you can get back quickly while they are still warm on the way."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Then we are looking forward to it. All the things on the truck have been brought here, and your commune's is on the first truck."

Liu Haosheng nodded and said

"Just drive to the brigade headquarters first. There's a lot of open space there, so it's convenient for you to park."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Okay, let's go over there."

At the entrance of the village, people gathered around the roaring engine and gathered in three layers. Liu Haosheng smiled at Zhang Renkang.

"Generally, the convoys don't go into the commune, but go directly to the farm. The country folk have never seen the world, so I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"You will be the ones who will be laughed at later. We have never seen so much meat in front of us. I am afraid that some people will not be able to resist eating it raw."

"Hahaha"

Several people laughed

Now no one can say who has a better vision. The countryside envies the city people who can eat commercial grain, have decent jobs and houses, and have high incomes. However, the city people are always short of food and supplies, which is not as good as the countryside. At least they still have cornmeal.

Zhang Renkang and his party arrived at the commune brigade headquarters. Zhang Renkang turned around and said

"These two are our factory accountants, Accountant Li and Accountant Sun. Accountant Li will stay here to reconcile accounts with the commune. I'll have to ask Brother Li to accompany me to Xiwengzhuang."

Li Haitao said with a smile

"What's so hard about this? My father-in-law will be so happy if you go there."

The cloth Zhang Renkang brought was in great demand. If other communes knew about it, they would probably stop Zhang Renkang and his men halfway. These were all breeding communes. I have what you have, but the types are different. They can all offer a lot of meat for trading.

Zhang Renkang smiled and motioned Chen Wei to bring the gifts from the steel mill. Zhang Renkang prepared ten cans of various colors for each of Liu Haosheng and his friends. Li Huaide was generous. Each commune prepared twenty cartons of Daqianmen cigarettes. He used up all the cigarette coupons for the steel mill's hospitality this month.

Chen Wei waved his hand and two people from the security department carried down a large box. Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Our factory director Li knows that our commune supports us, so he specially asked me to exchange the factory's tobacco coupons for this month yesterday and prepare 20 Daqianmen cigarettes for our commune. Thank you comrades of Tongjunzhuang Commune for your strong support."

Liu Haosheng waved his hand and said

"Renkang, this won't work. We all need what we want. The big brother from the steel mill has also given our commune a lot of support. These cloths alone are a big problem that we can't solve."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Brother Haosheng, don't refuse it. This is a little gift from our Director Li. Besides, if you don't want it, aren't you afraid that Brother Li and the others will beat you up?"

Liu Haosheng saw that Li Haitao, Wang Fugui, and Fan Sheng's eyes were red when they saw Daqianmen. They only smoked tobacco leaves in the countryside, and at worst, they would get a few packs of Beihai or Fengshou brands from other factories as a gift. Daqianmen only cost 35 cents a box, so they were reluctant to buy it.

Liu Haosheng smiled bitterly

"Then I would like to thank Director Li for taking care of us farmers. I will accept it with a thick face."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"That's all. I also have a little personal gift for you. This is a box of canned food, about 30 or 40 cans. You can give them to your children at home."

"This is just a small token of my gratitude as a younger brother. You can't say anything, right?"

Li Haitao flipped through the box and said in surprise

"Where did you get so many rare canned foods? Not to mention the canned meat, the yellow peaches and pears are rare goods."

Liu Haosheng laughed and said

"Okay, I won't be polite. I heard from the madman that you are not short of money. Let's enjoy the taste of canned food in this city."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"I was planning to bring you some Erguotou, but the factory doesn't have enough wine tickets this month, so I'll ask the transport team to bring it back to you next time. If you want anything in the future, ask the transport team to bring back a list, and I'll help you purchase it then."

Wang Fugui said with a smile

"That's great. There's really nothing missing in the village. We're tired of living in poverty and don't want to spend money. But next time you come, just help us buy some notebooks, pencils and books for the kids."

Zhang Renkang looked at this simple man and smiled.

"Okay, let the village count the number and ask Accountant Li to collect them. We will go back and help solve the problem."

Wang Fugui nodded and said

"Okay, I'll call the teacher at the east end to count the quantity, and you guys can see how much it costs."

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"Brother Fugui, supporting the development of rural education is one of our factory's tasks. Once you have completed the statistics, I will go back and make arrangements. Also, since we can establish a long-term and stable route, I will see if we can arrange for the primary school teachers in our factory to go to the countryside to provide support on a regular basis. We still have to let the children study. Only by studying can they have the opportunity to learn skills to build our country."

Liu Haosheng nodded and looked at Zhang Renkang, feeling very happy. They were glad that they had directly agreed to Zhang Renkang's cooperation request at that time. Although they did it for Zhang Renjia's sake at the beginning, from now on they have completely accepted Zhang Renkang as their little brother. It's not too righteous to say that this box of canned food and 20 cartons of Daqianmen cigarettes alone is a considerable expense, and there is still a shortage of people. In addition, their commune also tried its best to help solve the problem.

Zhang Renkang said as he looked at a truck unloading goods into the commune warehouse.

"Brother Haosheng, time is tight today, so I won't say much. Accountant Li and a truck will stay in the commune. Accountant Li will sign a cooperation agreement with us to check the accounts. You guys help slaughter and load the meat. I'm going to Xiwengzhuang Commune."

Liu Haosheng nodded and said

"Time is tight. Okay, I won't keep you for dinner. Don't worry, your brother Fan Sheng will personally accompany you to the farm to slaughter the pigs. We'll talk about it when you come back."

Li Haitao laughed

"Let's go. I'll accompany you to Xiweng Village. If we're quick today, we'll probably be back by 3pm. It won't delay your return to Sijiu City."

Zhang Renkang left a truck and two security guards to accompany Accountant Li to Tongjunzhuang Commune to sign the agreement and load the goods. He and Li Haitao took Chen Wei's jeep with Accountant Sun, a truck and four security guards sitting in the back jeep to Xiwengzhuang Commune. It was not that Zhang Renkang was too cautious. Not to mention that the beast pest in Miyun had not been resolved yet, the large amount of meat and blood in their car would attract wild beasts, which would be a problem. In addition, they were going into the mountainous area, where people's hearts were unpredictable. Who knew if there would be a village that was so poor that they dared to intercept the car?
