From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world

The Spring Festival of 61 is approaching.

Deputy Director Li is very clear about the current situation. As the deputy director in charge of logistics, he is currently under great pressure.

Deputy Director Li had been giving Zhang Dongliang instructions these days. Now, Zhang Dongliang was called to his office again.

"Dongliang is here? Sit down, sit down."

Deputy Director Li came over from behind the desk, patted Zhang Dongliang on the arm, and asked Zhang Dongliang to sit down.

Deputy Director Li personally poured a glass of water for Zhang Dongliang and Zhang Dongliang took it pretending to be flattered.

When you give a gift to someone, you must be asking for something. Let's first listen to what Deputy Director Li has to say today.

"Dongliang, the factory knows that you work hard and have made a lot of contributions to the factory. Now the factory is facing great difficulties. Can you think of a way to get some more pork for the factory?"

Sure enough, Deputy Director Li still put forward the request to purchase materials.

"How much do you want?" Zhang Dongliang hesitated for a moment, but still asked the quantity. You can't just ignore what your leader says.

"Each person in the factory is paid one kilogram, half a kilogram is distributed during the Spring Festival, and half a kilogram is reserved for daily consumption, which means 5 tons. Including the small canteen and visits from higher-level departments and business departments, at least 8 tons are needed."

Deputy Director Li counted on his fingers for Zhang Dongliang.

"This is very difficult to handle. Director Li, you also know how severe the shortage of materials is across the country right now." Zhang Dongliang looked very embarrassed.

"Well, it's because it's difficult that we need you to step in." Deputy Director Li also gave him a compliment.

"Well~~ I can only say that I will try my best. I can't guarantee to what extent I can do it."

Zhang Dongliang was also having a headache. He had originally wanted to step down from the Second Procurement Department and not get involved in unplanned purchases. But now, he was involved again.

The current public security situation is not very good. For safety reasons, Deputy Director Li asked, "Dongliang, are you armed now?"

"Yes, there is a 54-type pistol."

"No, you go to the security department and get another 56mm. Let the comrades make contributions, but also ensure their safety. I'll tell the security department in a moment."

"Your soldier's name is Liu Tianlai?"

"Liu Guangtian."

"Let him get a 56 and a half as well."

Listen, the leader’s words are so heartwarming.

Deputy Director Li conveyed the spirit of the factory committee and asked him to put the work of the Propaganda Department aside for the time being and focus his main energy on the Purchasing Department II.

The factory committee also sent a jeep to Zhang Dongliang and asked him to hurry up and make the best possible contribution to the factory.

Zhang Dongliang had no choice but to take over this hot potato. It was not because Zhang Dongliang was short of pork, but mainly because under the current circumstances, it would be too eye-catching to get pork.

First he went to the security department to get a gun and a license. He met Liu Bin, the deputy chief of the security department, and Zhang Dongliang chatted with Liu Bin for a while.

"Why are you here to get a gun again, brother?"

"Alas, this is the job assigned by the leader."

"That's because you are capable." After a pause, Liu Bin asked, "The incident with Xu Damao some time ago didn't affect you, did it?"

"What impact can it have? I just arrived at the Propaganda Department and I am not in charge of specific business. It's none of my business."

It was none of Zhang Dongliang's business. As Xu Damao's supervisor, it was disgusting that Deputy Section Chief Lao Zhang had to deal with such a mess before his retirement.

"Well, Brother Bin, I won't say any more to you. I have to hurry up and complete the task assigned by my leader. I'll leave after I get the gun. You and sister-in-law don't need to prepare New Year's goods for the New Year. I'll just deliver them to you."

Liu Bin nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll wait for your good news." Then he turned and walked into the Security Department.

Zhang Dongliang drove the jeep out of the steel mill in a pretentious manner. After thinking about it, he found nothing else to do, so he took this opportunity to go to Qinjiazhuang and give some New Year gifts to his father-in-law's family.

When she arrived at Qinjiazhuang, she told her father-in-law Qin Guanghe that it would be inconvenient to use the car after the New Year, so she would not come. Qin Jingru would not come back for the New Year, so she stayed in the city to celebrate the New Year.

It’s not that Zhang Dongliang didn’t let Qin Jingru come back, but that Qin Jingru didn’t want to come back.

Qin Jingru felt that apart from not having a marriage certificate, her life now was no different from her life after marriage. How could a wife spend the New Year at her parents' home?

Besides, Qin Jingru has completely adapted to life in the city. She doesn't want to go back to her rural hometown for the New Year because the living conditions are poor and it's cold.

It would be better if he didn't come back, as it would save food for the family. In difficult times, having food to eat and being able to survive is the most important thing. The father-in-law had no objection to Zhang Dongliang's arrangement.

In Qin Guanghe's heart, Zhang Dongliang has done a good job as a son-in-law.

How much has the son-in-law given to the family before we got married? This time he gave us so much corn flour, at least we won't starve to death in the spring.

Not to mention that the son-in-law’s New Year gift also includes a lot of wine and meat.

There is no farm work in the winter, and people stay at home. The arrival of the jeep quickly attracted a crowd of children and a few adults who had nothing to do.

"Guanghe's son-in-law is really awesome. He gave Guanghe a lot of New Year gifts during the Chinese New Year~~"

"The Guanghe family had a good New Year~~"

"I would be very happy if I had such a good son-in-law."

"Don't you see how your daughter looks like? She looks like Zhu Bajie's sister. How can she be worthy of such a good son-in-law?"

"Qin Er Gouzi, if you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up."

"Fuck. Am I afraid of you? Come and beat me up? Am I not telling the truth?"

Although everyone in Qinjiazhuang has the surname Qin, and in theory it is a large family, I still feel a little jealous when I see others living much better than you.

Delivering food and meat at this time was too conspicuous, and there were many people watching. Zhang Dongliang couldn't stay any longer, so he left quickly.

(Qin Huairu's voice-over) Have you forgotten something?

I haven't forgotten. Qin Huairu's family also gave a portion in the name of Qin Huairu, but it was much less than Qin Jingru's family.

A day later, Zhang Dongliang went to the factory to get the key to the unplanned material warehouse and prepared to hand over the goods at the original warehouse. It was impossible to hand over eight tons of pork in the courtyard of Fuxiang Hutong.

Deputy Director Li was delighted when he heard the news: "How's it going, Dongliang? Is it done?"

"Director Li, I had to intercept the goods of several people to get these eight tons of pork. I offended a lot of people. I won't be able to do it again in the short term."

"Okay, okay. Dongliang is indeed reliable. The factory will remember your contribution. Take some time to communicate with your friends. The factory will reimburse you for the expenses."

"Well, Director Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go and confirm the delivery time."

It is still the original handover model. We agree on a time and the factory sends a vehicle to take the goods away.

Wu Tao from the Logistics Section of the Public Security Bureau has had much easier time now. Zhang Dongliang arranged for Wu Tao to meet with Liu Guangtian, and asked them to meet regularly in the courtyard of Fuxiang Hutong, report the quantity and pick up the goods regularly.

However, Yu Xiaojie from the Street Office often came to the house and became quite familiar with Qin Jingru.
