The ten eggs were the capital invested by Zhou Xiongfeng's family. Zhou Ganmei also gave them half a bag of brown sugar, which was definitely a precious gift in the village.

Qian Yue'e pouted and finally agreed to a truce.

Zhou Ganmei and Zhou Xiongfeng, the uncle and nephew, kept whispering to each other until dawn, when Zhou Ganmei finally wiped his lips and left Zhou Xiongfeng's house.

Chen Yuan has now set out on the road to the commune.

Sun Weiwei packed a bag of buns for Chen Yuan. Each one was white and plump. They were covered with waste newspapers, and you could see the layers of oil seeping through them.

Hanging on the handlebars of the bicycle, it feels heavy.

Yiyi was still sleepy, and in her daze she felt a bearded chin prickling her soft face.

"Weiwei, no need to send me off."

Chen Yuan stopped Sun Weiwei who was about to continue sending her off.

"I'll watch you go, I'm relieved."

Sun Weiwei also knew that Chen Yuan worked in the commune and would not come back every day.

She was also worried that he was unfamiliar with the place, so she specially put a few food coupons and the meat coupons she had exchanged last time in Chen Yuan's clothes pocket.

"Don't worry about it when you're out there. I'm here for you."

Chen Yuan nodded: "We're already at the village entrance, and you're still planning to send me to the commune?"

Chen Yuan pinched the soft flesh on Sun Weiwei's face and said, "Weiwei, don't worry. I will take you and Yiyi to the city sooner or later. We will live a good life there!"

Sun Weiwei blushed slightly. "It's good in the village. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

Chen Yuan pushed his bicycle onto the country road. Thinking of the day before, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. After walking a few hundred meters, he turned around and saw Sun Weiwei standing at the entrance of the village looking around.

It seemed like she saw him and was waving at him.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and shouted in Sun Weiwei's direction, "Weiwei, go back and take good care of your family!"

When he went to the commune this time, he didn't know what kind of work Zhao Qingjian would assign him, but no matter what it was, he would do it well.

Chen Yuan walked quickly and arrived at the gate of the commune in less than an hour. The four big words "People's Commune" were written on a long plaque at the gate, which had been wiped clean.

The commune compound is the only building nearby, and the slogan "Self-reliance and hard work" is written on the wall of the gate.

There are fourteen rooms inside, each used as an office for various departments. When you walk through the door, you will see Chairman Mao's quotations written everywhere.

Chen Yuan had been here before, but this time, he came as a member of the group.

I found Zhao Qingjian's office with ease, but Zhao Qingjian hadn't arrived yet.

It is just dawn now, and it can be said that Chen Yuan got up quite early today.

He held the bag given by Sun Weiwei in his arms and took out two buns from it. Although they were a little cold, the aroma of pork was still there.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I finally saw someone coming.

The person who came was the director of women's affairs, Li Guizhen.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

Li Guizhen is also forty years old. She is wearing a gray-white top made of Dacron fabric and black trousers. There are two patches on the cuffs, but she looks neat and tidy.

Chen Yuan stepped forward and had to be polite to one of the "Eight Majors" of the commune.

"Hello, I'm Chen Yuan. Secretary Zhao asked me to come here to help with the work at the commune."

Li Guizhen's eyes lit up. She looked at Chen Yuan again and glanced at the door of Zhao Qingjian's office. "Oh, Secretary Zhao hasn't come yet. You haven't been waiting for a long time. Come sit here with me for a while."

Chen Yuan followed him in, took out two buns from the bag, wrapped them in old newspaper and handed them to Li Guizhen.

"This is what my wife made. If you haven't had breakfast, you can try it. Don't be disgusted by it because it's homemade."

Li Guizhen took a look at the buns and knew they were filled with meat without tasting them.

These days, it is rare to find a family that can afford to eat meat.

Not to mention, giving someone two buns as a gift.

Li Guizhen didn't say yes or no, she just sat down and asked casually, "Chen Yuan, right? You and Secretary Zhao?"

"Secretary Zhao is my mentor, and even more so, our village's mentor. Such a prominent leader is willing to help our village progress. We are all grateful to Secretary Zhao."

Speaking is an art. He has nothing to do with Zhao Qingjian. It can only be said that Zhao Qingjian has a keen eye for talent, but as long as you are in the world, you have to understand the ways of the world.

Even here, it is no exception.

Li Guizhen was unsure for a moment. She looked at the buns on the table and said with a smile, "Chen Yuan, your family didn't bring you much dry food. You can eat it. I've already eaten."

There is no reason to take back what you have given away. He just heard the sound of the door opening in the next office, so he stood up and whispered.

"Then you can save it for lunch. My wife's cooking skills are pretty good. If she knew you liked it, she would definitely be very happy."

Chen Yuan walked out with his big white teeth bared.

"Hey..." Li Guizhen pretended to give way, but still put the buns into the drawer without any hesitation.

Although she was the director of the women's department, her monthly salary was fixed, let alone the fact that she could eat meat as she pleased.

In her family, eating meat is a luxury only during festivals.

As soon as Zhao Qingjian inserted the key into the lock, he was startled to see Chen Yuan appear.

"Hey, you kid!"

"Secretary, you're not scared, are you?" Chen Yuan stepped forward to support him.

Zhao Qingjian shook his head: "No, come in quickly."

"Chen Yuan, has everything been arranged at home?" Zhao Qingjian was not a serious cadre.

"My wife is very capable. I told her about it before I came." Chen Yuan was still not sure what job Zhao Qingjian intended him to do, but from what he meant?

Can’t go back for a while?

"You have a good wife. You have a solid backing when you work outside!" Zhao Qingjian stood up, took a half-new enamel cup from the table, and poured a glass of water for Chen Yuan with some tea foam floating in it.

"I heard you're quite skilled? A hunter? Why don't you go into the mountains with the forest rangers for the time being?" Zhao Qingjian scratched his head. "A member of the forest ranger team is injured and is still in the hospital. We're short of help."

Forest ranger?

Chen Yuan frowned slightly and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, Secretary Zhao, I'll follow your arrangements. But I want to do something first."

"Okay, now that you're done here, go report directly to the Minister of Armed Forces, Wu Liuweiguo, across the street."

Before Chen Yuan left, he took two buns and handed them to Zhao Qingjian: "Secretary, try it. This is wild boar meat from the mountains. It tastes different."

"Take it back quickly!" Zhao Qingjian watched Chen Yuan disappear in the commune building like a happy rabbit.

Zhao Qingjian shook his head helplessly, this Chen Yuan is really!

When Chen Yuan found Li Shanghai, Li Shanghai was walking around the streets carrying a bamboo pole.

Chen Yuan stepped forward and slapped Li Shanghai, who was startled.

Before his two fists could be swung out, they were grabbed by Chen Yuan.

He looked carefully and saw that it was Chen Yuan, and then he felt relieved.

"Brother Yuan, you're like a cat, even your walking is silent!"
