Living in a Siheyuan

The next day, Li Ping'an went to the factory to work.

When they arrived at the purchasing department, they saw three people smoking and chatting inside. Li Pingan also joined them.

Just as they were chatting animatedly, Deputy Section Chief Zhou Changming came over and called Li Pingan into the house.

When they arrived at the office, Zhou Changming handed Li Pingan a cigarette and said, "Pingan, tell me the truth, can we get that wild boar?"

Li Pingan looked at Zhou Changming and said, "Section Chief, you know. That thing is really hard to get. I was lucky to get one last time."

Zhou Changming said with some embarrassment: "I know it's hard to do, but it's been half a month. If we don't prepare some oily food, the workers will complain again."

After taking a puff of his cigarette, he turned to Li Ping'an and said, "This time I'm not asking you this question. It's Director Li who asked me to ask you this question. You think of another way."

When he heard that it was Director Li Huaide of the Logistics Department, the future Director Li, Li Pingan hesitated.

To be honest, Li Huaide is not a good person. You can tell from his behavior of accepting bribes, overthrowing Director Yang, and being lustful. But there are no perfect people in today's society. At least he knows how to do things after receiving things, and he is generous to his subordinates.

He knew that if there were no accidents in the future, Li Huaide would be in charge of the steel mill, so it was okay to make friends with him now.

Thinking of this, Li Pingan said to Zhou Changqing: "Okay, Chief, I'll go and try again. But I may not be able to get it."

Zhou Changqing was also happy, but he still reminded her: "Just do your best. But you must also pay attention to safety. No matter what, you must protect yourself and don't get hurt."

After agreeing to Zhou Changqing, Li Pingan left the office, said hello to a few colleagues and left the factory.

It was still early, so he rode his bike directly to Yu Li's house.

Yu Linhai was also at home today. After chatting with Yu Linhai for a while, I took Yu Li out to play.

The two of them came to the park and wandered around. They rowed a boat and had roast duck for lunch.

When I sent Yu Li home in the afternoon, I felt that the day had passed too quickly.

The next day, Li Pingan slept until noon. This time he planned to get a few more wild boars for the factory.

One reason was to give Li Huaide face, and the other reason was that I heard from many factory workers that the pig was gone before they could even taste it. With nearly 10,000 workers, there wasn't much pork left. And wild boar meat was rather dry and not very oily.

After a while, he rode his bike to the purchasing department and made himself look miserable again.

After entering the purchasing department, Zhou Changqing saw Li Ping'an's state and didn't see him bring any wild boars. He thought that this time there might be no hope. But he still asked with concern: "Why are you in such a mess this time? Are you injured? It doesn't matter if you didn't get hit, as long as you are okay."

Li Pingan saw that Zhou Changqing had misunderstood, so he said, "I'm fine, Chief. After you told me yesterday, I went straight to the mountains. I didn't go alone this time. I also secretly invited a few people from their place to go into the mountains with me."

At this point, Li Pingan deliberately stopped talking and took a sip of water from the cup.

After hearing this, Zhou Changming asked anxiously, "How is it? Did you gain anything this time?"

Li Pingan stopped teasing Zhou Changming and said, "We did have some gains. We stayed in the mountains all night last night. We killed four wild boars in total, weighing an estimated 1,000 kilograms. But I couldn't bring them back, so I had to leave them at the foot of the mountain."

When Zhou Changming heard that there were four wild boars weighing about 1,000 kilograms, he was overjoyed and immediately dragged Li Ping'an to the office of Liu Zhiwei, the chief section chief.

When Li Ping'an was taken to Liu Zhiwei's office, Li Huaide was also inside. Zhou Changming went in without even knocking.

Liu Zhiwei and Li Huaide both looked at the happy Zhou Changming.

Zhou Changming didn't expect Li Huaide to be there. He quickly said, "Director Li is here too? I hope I didn't disturb you. Sorry, I was so happy just now that I forgot to knock on the door."

Liu Zhiwei said angrily: "What are you so happy about? You even forgot the rules."

Li Huaide also looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Changming didn't waste any more words, and pulled Li Ping'an in and said, "Section Chief, Director Li, our comrade Li Ping'an went to find someone to hunt four wild boars yesterday. They are waiting for us to bring them back at the foot of the mountain."

When Liu Zhiwei and Li Huaide heard that there were four wild boars, they also stood up happily. They were just talking about meat. Unexpectedly, Li Pingan came up to solve the problem.

Li Huaide looked at Li Ping'an and said, "This must be Li Ping'an, right? You helped me a lot this time. Now the workers won't have any complaints."

Li Pingan quickly said, "Director Li, thank you for your praise. This is my job."

Li Huaide was also very satisfied with Li Ping'an's attitude and said, "Very good, I will apply for a reward for you at the factory this time. After all, we are still a family, work hard! If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."

"Thank you, Director Li. I will do my best."

At this time, Liu Zhiwei also said: "You have made a contribution this time. I will apply for a reward for you with Director Li. Let's go to the fleet to find a car and bring the wild boar back as soon as possible."

Li Huaide also said: "Go ahead and ask their captain to send a car to bring you back quickly."

Liu Zhiwei brought Li Pingan and Zhou Changming to the transport team, but only found the deputy team leader Cai Bin, who was in charge of the team's logistics.

After listening to Liu Zhiwei's words, Cai Bin also said in embarrassment: "Our captain took most of the people to other places. Several drivers just came back from a mission last night and are resting today. There are really no drivers now!"

Drivers are really popular nowadays, and there are few people who can drive. So every one of them is precious. Sometimes they don't even give face to their leaders. When they just go home to rest, he, the deputy captain, can't mobilize them at all. And he can't drive either.

Liu Zhiwei and Zhou Changming were also a little dumbfounded. What if no one was driving?

When Li Pingan saw this, he stepped forward and said to Cai Bin, "Captain Cai, I have learned to drive before. I can drive most cars. Why don't I give it a try?"

After hearing what Li Pingan said, the three of them looked at him. Zhou Changming said first: "Pingan, this is not a joke. Can you really drive?"

Cai Bin also said: "It's not that I don't allow you to drive, but cars are very valuable nowadays. Our factory only has a few of them. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it."

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Captain Cai, the car is right there. If I try, you will know."

Seeing how confident Li Ping'an was, Liu Zhiwei said, "Captain Cai, why don't you let him try? We can't wait. If he fails, we can think of a way."

Cai Bin thought about it and agreed. So he took Li Pingan and the others to a somewhat dilapidated Soviet GAZ truck.

Looking at this antique, Li Pingan even doubted whether it could still be used.

Climbing up to the cab, Li Pingan took a careful look. Thanks to the fact that he had done a lot of work in his previous life, the cars he had driven were also messy. After groping for a while, he felt that it was about the same.

He got out of the car, found the handle and started to crank. Soon Li Pingan started the car, got in the car and drove around the yard a few times. He was basically familiar with it.

So after getting out of the car, he said to Cai Bin: "Captain Cai, it should be fine, so we can drive away now."

Seeing that Li Ping'an drove very skillfully, Cai Bin didn't say anything and let Li Ping'an drive away.

Along the way, the bumpy dirt road made Li Ping'an's butt hurt. Zhou Changqing wanted to help, but Li Ping'an refused. So he drove out alone.

It was the first time for him to drive and enjoy the scenery of the old city of Sijiu since he came to this era. Almost everyone on the road gave him envious looks.

I drove to the outskirts of the city and found a deserted place. I stopped the car and rested for a while.

Li Pingan entered the space and used the same method as last time. He found four wild boars weighing more than 200 kilograms and stabbed them to death with wild boar spears.

Now in his space, after a period of feeding, there are more than 30 small wild boars weighing dozens of kilograms, more than a dozen weighing more than 200 kilograms, and even seven or eight weighing more than 300 kilograms.

After putting the wild boar in the car, Li Pingan thought it was about time to drive back.

When he arrived at the factory, Zhou Changqing was already waiting for him in the warehouse.

I called a few people to help unload the wild boar from the car. Li Huaide and Liu Zhiwei also came.

Li Huaide looked at the four wild boars that had been unloaded and said to Li Pingan, "Pingan, I didn't expect that you are not only good at hunting, but you can also drive. You are a talented person. Don't worry, the factory will not treat you unfairly."

After being weighed, the wild boar was taken to the canteen. It was still Sha Zhu and his men who killed the pig.

After returning the car to the fleet, Cai Bin checked that there was no problem and let him go back.

He went to the finance office to collect the money. A total of more than 1,100 kilograms, he also earned more than 400 yuan. Now the money really didn't mean much to him, he wanted to find an opportunity to go to the black market to exchange the money for gold.

When he returned to the Purchasing Department, Section Chief Liu Zhiwei and Deputy Section Chief Zhou Changming were waiting for him in the office.

When Liu Zhiwei saw Li Pingan coming back, he said enthusiastically: "Pingan, you have worked really hard this time. I didn't expect you to be so versatile and can drive a car."

Li Pingan also politely replied: "You are too polite, Section Chief. It is not hard at all. It is all for the factory. I just like driving and learned a little from others."

A few people chatted lively for a while, and then Li Pingan left on the grounds that he was tired last night and wanted to go home to rest.

When I got home, I went to the bathroom to take a shower. Now my home is very convenient, which made Yu Haitang keep asking to live here.

A few days later, on Monday, the regular meeting was over.

Zhou Changming brought Li Pingan to Liu Zhiwei's office.

Liu Zhiwei politely asked them to sit down and then said, "Ping An, you have made great contributions to the factory this time. The factory has decided to raise your rank. You are a level 11 clerk, and now you will be promoted to level 9. I wanted to raise you higher, but I took into account that you have only been in the factory for a short time. If you are promoted too quickly, others will have opinions. We will talk about it when there is a chance. In addition, Director Li will reward you with a watch ticket, and our department will reward you with 50 yuan. What do you think?"

Li Pingan thought that he had only been in the factory for about a month, and he had been promoted from level 23 to level 30, which was already good. His salary also increased from to . It was equivalent to a first-level worker.

So he stood up and said, "Thank you, leader! I have no objection."

Liu Zhiwei nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. You have to work hard in the future. You are still young and have a bright future."

Then he said to Zhou Changming: "This time the factory also saw the contribution of our department and sent us a Kuadou motorcycle. From now on, it will be given to your department. It's a little old, but it can still be ridden. In the future, anyone who has larger goods can ride it back. But you must take good care of it and don't damage it."

Zhou Changming was very happy to hear that a motorcycle had been delivered to his department. He immediately assured, "Don't worry, Chief, I will take good care of this treasure."

Liu Zhiwei also smiled and gave Li Pingan fifty yuan and a watch ticket. He also handed the car keys to Zhou Changming.

Zhou Changming returned to the office excitedly with the car keys and called everyone downstairs to see the motorcycle.

When I got downstairs, I saw the very old three-wheeled motorcycle. One side of the truck bed was covered with rust.

Several people walked around, but none of them knew how to ride. Zhou Changming handed the key to Li Pingan and said, "Pingan, you try to see if you can drive it?"

Li Pingan didn't waste any words, he inserted the key and started the engine. He quickly rode his bike around downstairs. When he came back, Zhou Changming quickly got on and sat in the truck bed. Ji Qingshan also quickly sat in the back seat. Li Pingan took the two of them around again.

After everyone had ridden the bike, they parked it downstairs. Zhou Changming took the keys away. He didn't dare let them ride it casually. What if it broke? And where would they buy more gas if it ran out? Gasoline was not available outside now.
