Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Looking back, Guan Jianguo, who was still very young and small in stature, also had this idea after being inspired by Zhou Zhigang.

If he wanted to survive, there was no problem working in the brigade, but if he wanted to live well, to make himself and his family live well as well, given his background, he couldn't do it even if he worked himself to death.

Little Guan Jianguo almost forgot what he took out the first time he went to the black market to exchange something.

Are they vegetables that you planted secretly and fearfully, or are they prey that you caught in the mountains using traps?

Anyway, no matter what, the little Guan Jianguo has grown up, and now he is no longer the one who was afraid to enter the black market for a little money.

But the process is the same. First, they go to the black market spontaneously formed by everyone to exchange, then they are chased and intercepted, and they fall down and get up again and again.

Then he gradually got the idea and found the real black market in Changyun County.

By paying a portion of the protection fee, you can exchange with others inside. Even if someone comes to check, they will be notified in advance, so it won't be as embarrassing as before.

But Guan Jianguo himself felt that he was lucky. After so many years, he had a place in the black market and gradually became one of those people.

He is not interested in murder, arson, or fighting. He just wants to make money and make connections, and it would be best if he could find his parents through these connections.

It’s just that I won’t offend others unless they offend me. When everyone is scrambling for benefits, there will always be people who want to use shady tricks.

Guan Jianguo had a rough idea of ​​who those people were. It would have been fine if they had just dealt with him, but innocent people were implicated. Guan Jianguo, who usually didn't get angry easily, was really upset.

Tan Yuan didn't know that someone was still thinking about revenge for her. The Mid-Autumn Festival was getting closer, and the aroma of braised tofu in the sky above the tofu factory never dissipated.

Guan Jianguo drove the tractor back to the brigade at the right time. Not only Tan Yuan, but other cadres in the brigade also came out to watch.

“This tractor is so beautiful!”

"Is this the tractor of our Huaiyin Brigade?"

"..."

The questions asked by the crowd were varied, but the only thing that remained the same was their expressions and actions.

One by one, their eyes were glued to the tractor and couldn't move away, and their hands were reluctant to move away from the iron sheet in front of them.

When Tan Yuan and the team leader brought the sealing machine back from the city, these people were not so excited. Tan Yuan could only attribute this to men's natural and almost fanatical love for machines like cars.

Tan Yuan raised her eyes and met a gaze.

— Is it Guan Jianguo? Why is he looking at me?

Could it be that there's some dirt on his face from coming from the dried tofu factory? Or maybe he's just been too tired lately and has dark circles under his eyes.

Men are born to love cars and women are born to love beauty. Tan Yuan unconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, while Guan Jianguo spoke to her.

“I graduated from the Agricultural Machinery Station.”

——Is he talking to me?

Tan Yuan was slightly stunned. Hadn't he left long ago? Graduation wasn't a matter of time. He was even later than expected, perhaps because of his previous injury?

He convinced himself, kept a straight face, nodded slightly, and was about to answer when he heard a hearty laugh coming from behind him.

"Hahaha, good job! He graduated from the agricultural machinery station so quickly, we really didn't make a mistake in choosing him!"

It was Captain Lin Guoan, he answered with a smile. He didn't know when he stood behind Tan Yuan, but Guan Jianguo didn't seem surprised at all. He continued talking to him as if he had been reporting to the captain.

Was he talking to the captain the whole time? Turns out he wasn't just talking to me...

For some reason, I breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was just a misunderstanding, there was no need to have any strange feelings. Tan Yuan also joined the conversation openly.

Tan Yuan did not notice that Guan Jianguo's eyes moved upwards just now.

The cadres of the Huaiyin Brigade seemed to have suddenly lost all their previous vigilance against Guan Jianguo, and they looked at him no differently than they looked at the young people in the brigade.

Everyone praised Guan Jianguo for his youth and ability, saying that he had a bright future.

Tractor drivers are skilled workers and receive salaries from the state, not much worse than these small cadres in the brigade.

The gap disappeared in an instant. It seemed that Guan Jianguo was experiencing such a scene for the first time. He felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by people and being praised by them.

When the brigade's own tractors returned to the brigade, they naturally helped deliver the goods. As batches of goods were delivered and orders were completed, all those who hoped for the best for the Huaiyin Brigade gradually felt relieved.

Since the opening, they have been working overtime non-stop. Their eyes are red and their bodies smell of brine, but although they are tired, they are happy in their hearts.

After loading the last truckload of goods, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the overtime work of Huaiyin Brigade finally came to an end.

Tan Yuan did not follow the car, the one who followed was Secretary Zhou.

"Accountant Zhang, please take out the money quickly. If you don't, I'll have the branch secretary use the balance due today."

Deliveries are being made every day these days, and the sound of the tractor starting can be heard every once in a while. A lot of payment has also been brought back. Logically speaking, Accountant Zhang, a stingy man, should have more money on hand, but now, he gets slapped in the face so quickly.

Accountant Zhang held his wallet tightly. The smile that had been on his face for the past few days disappeared from his face, and was replaced by vigilance.

That's right, he was on guard against Tan Yuan. These past few days, he finally understood what Tan Yuan meant by counting money until his hands cramped. However, there was no reason to take out the money that had already been deposited into the account.

Besides, we just want to reward the guys who work overtime at the factory, so why not just give them some sweet potatoes? Why buy meat? How much does that cost?

Young people spend money lavishly, without caring about the cost.

Accountant Zhang's action of covering his wallet was so funny that even Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but stand up.

"Uncle Zhang, everyone has worked so hard for so long. Let's celebrate together tonight as a reward."

Accountant Zhang stared, his grip on his wallet loosened, and he said reluctantly: "Alright, you are all good people, and I am the big bad guy? I'll go get the money right away..."

His whole body showed reluctance, but Zhou Zhigang smiled at Tan Yuan as he watched him leave: "Our Shu area is mountainous, and Huaiyin Brigade has little land. Don't think you can eat enough now, but life was hard before, and it was even more difficult when there was a disaster. Accountant Zhang is afraid."
