The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 687: Covering Supplies, Rice

Inside the office.

The farmer flipped through the materials and said, "In order to ensure that the underground buildings can be completely blown up, the military factory is preparing special explosives. It is estimated that the explosives will be delivered in two or three days. At that time, the operation can be officially launched."

Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt confused when he thought about those worse-than-beasts people still living in this world.

After leaving the farmer's office, Li Aiguo planned to ride his bike home.

Before leaving the weather station, Captain Dong stopped me again.

"Comrade driver, you seem to have forgotten something?"

"what?"

Looking at Captain Dong carrying a variety of mountain products in his hands, Li Aiguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Old Dong, have you learned how to give gifts now?"

"Go away, this is to cover the supplies! Have you forgotten that you went to Jichun this time to carry out the mission of Qianmen Locomotive Depot. Everyone knows that you, a bunch of train drivers, will take advantage of others wherever you go." Captain Dong was a little depressed.

He also went on business trips frequently, but because he was a "formal employee" and did not need cover, he was unable to use public funds to purchase "cover supplies."

After Li Aiguo understood what was going on, he unceremoniously picked up the sack and put it on the back of his bicycle, waved his hand, said goodbye, and then left.

Captain Dong shook his head helplessly: "Temporary workers are paid better than regular workers. How can this be justified?"

As the sun sets, the entire capital city is shrouded in golden light.

Pedestrians on the road were riding their bicycles leisurely, old men were walking with crutches, and elementary school students were chattering on the road with their schoolbags on their backs.

Everything is so peaceful and so beautiful.

Li Aiguo greedily breathed in the wonderful scent in the air and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Before he got close to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xu Damao running out of the courtyard in a panic.

"Brother Aiguo, help me!" When Xu Damao saw Li Aiguo riding a bicycle towards him, he quickly turned around and rushed over.

"What's wrong? You can't even beat Jia Dongxu now? Where's your stainless steel pot? Transform!" Li Aiguo looked down on Xu Damao a little.

Xu Damao hid behind Li Aiguo and pointed to the distance and said, "It's not Jia Dongxu, it's Liu Lan. She is going to murder her husband!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Aiguo saw Liu Lan rushing out of the yard with a kitchen knife in his hand.

"Xu Damao, you scoundrel, I'm going to chop you into pieces today!"

The sharp kitchen knife emits a little cold light under the sunlight.

Li Aiguo was also startled and quickly stopped Liu Lan.

"Liu Lan, if you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely. Don't use knives or guns."

"Brother Aiguo is back." Liu Lan noticed Li Aiguo at this moment, pointed at Xu Damao and said angrily: "Brother Aiguo, ask Xu Damao what shameless thing he did?"

Li Aiguo turned his head and looked at Xu Damao, frowning: "Damo, you are not going to look for a young wife again, are you? You have a wife now."

"No, it's not." Xu Damao stammered and told the story again. Li Aiguo was amazed.

The story begins with Xu Damao wanting to curry favor with Deputy Director Li.

He asked Li Aiguo for help, hoping to get in touch with Deputy Factory Director Li, but Li Aiguo suddenly went on a business trip.

So Xu Damao went to invite Deputy Director Li in person.

To Xu Damao's surprise, Deputy Director Li agreed immediately, but asked Liu Lan to join them when they drank.

Xu Damao was worried that Liu Lan would not want to attend the banquet after knowing that it was for Deputy Director Li, so he lied and said that the invitation was for an old friend of his.

As a result, when Liu Lan arrived at the place and saw Deputy Director Li, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she picked up a chair and started killing everyone.

"My patriotic brother, look at this woman, is she decent? Deputy Director Li may have wronged Liu Lan in the past, but that's all in the past.

As a grown man, I, Xu Damao, didn't care. But Liu Lan was like she had eaten a firecracker.

I had already established a relationship with Deputy Director Li, but now it's gone wrong!"

After learning the cause and effect of the incident, Li Aiguo pulled Xu Damao out from behind him, pointed at Xu Damao and said to Liu Lan: "Liu Lan, be careful when you attack later, don't chop off his head."

"Brother Aiguo, don't worry." Liu Lan smiled at Li Aiguo, then suddenly raised a kitchen knife and rushed towards Xu Damao, screaming, "Xu Damao, you let your wife go with someone else, are you still a man?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Damao turned around and ran away.

Liu Lan was chasing closely behind.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Li Aiguo said with emotion: "You see, there will always be something unexpected happening in the courtyard."

When I got home, Chen Xueru had not yet returned from get off work.

Li Aiguo cleaned the house and took out the "cover gift package" distributed by the weather station.

There were black fungus, hazel mushroom, matsutake, hericium erinaceus, and shiitake mushrooms in a big bag. Li Aiguo even suspected that the weather station was using this as an excuse to give benefits to employees.

Li Aiguo found an oil-paper bag under the bag.

I picked it up in my hand and lifted it. It weighed more than 20 kilograms and made a rustling sound. "What is this?"

Li Aiguo became curious and opened the oil paper bag, revealing white rice inside.

"It's just rice, is it necessary to be so serious?" Li Aiguo seemed to realize something. He picked up the oil paper bag and opened it carefully. Sure enough, the words "Fifth Production Team of Minle Commune, Wuchang City" were printed on the oil paper bag.

Wow, this is real Wuchang rice.

At that time, the rice area in Wuchang had reached nearly 10 mu, and it gradually became the first county in rice production in the country.

Among them, the best quality comes from the rice flower fragrance in Minle, Longfengshan and Yingchengzi Township.

Longfeng Mountain is the original production area, and part of Minle Township and Yingchengzi Township is the special rice supply for "state banquet".

In the previous life, Li Aiguo had only eaten Wuchang rice, whose authenticity he was not sure. This time, he was going to try some meat.

The rice was washed twice and thrown into the firewood pot to simmer, and He Yushui was called in to be the full-time fireman.

Whoosh, whoosh. White smoke came out of the iron pot, and there was a gurgling sound inside.

The house was soon filled with the tempting aroma of food.

Jia Zhang stood at the door, sniffing and frowning as she whispered, "This is really strange. What kind of rice did Li Aiguo bring back this time? It smells so good."

Qin Huairu asked curiously, "Mom, how did you know that Li Aiguo brought back rice?"

Jia Zhang raised her head proudly: "You don't understand this, right? I, an old woman, only took a glance. No matter what's in your pocket, I can tell."

Qin Huairu: "."

Liu Haizhong was sitting in the house with Yi Zhonghai discussing the situation in the courtyard.

"Old Yi, after your planning these days, our steward has finally overpowered the street patrol and regained power in the courtyard."

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, I can't achieve these results without your help." Yi Zhonghai took a sip of tea and was about to say something humble when his face suddenly changed: "Oh no, Li Aiguo is back!"

Liu Haizhong scratched his head: "How do you know?"

"In our compound, the only person who can get the special rice is Li Aiguo."

Liu Haizhong stood up suddenly: "Old Yi, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to react, Liu Haizhong turned around and ran away.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Liu Haizhong is a guy who changes his mind according to the situation. He was scared to death when he saw Li Aiguo coming back."

An old lady came out of the house and said quietly, "Maybe Liu Haizhong wants to eat Li Aiguo's rice?"

Yi Zhonghai: "."

Even though Li Aiguo knew that the real Wuchang rice was extraordinary, he still underestimated the quality of the rice.

When he lifted the lid of the pot, a rich and unique aroma instantly filled the air.

This smell is different from the aroma of meat. It is lighter and less greasy. It is neither strong and pungent, nor bland. It spreads in the air just right, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Each grain of rice is plump and crystal clear, exuding an attractive luster, and the rice aroma seems to be wrapped in it.

Aunt Liu has been eating rice for most of her life, but this is the first time she has seen such tempting rice.

"Aiguo, this rice must be very expensive. If it's stored at the grain station, it must be at least 20 cents per pound, right?"

"Auntie, this rice, I heard from Nan Yi that it is a special rice supplied by the Great Hall. It is not available on the market."

Liang Ladi held the small bowl and looked at the spoon eagerly.

Following behind her were Damao, Ermao, Sanmao, Xiuer, and several children from Zhang Gangzhu's family.

Chen Xueru was responsible for serving them meals.

Li Aiguo originally planned to close the door and spend some time alone with Chen Xueru after He Yushui finished the fire.

Who would have thought that the rice was so fragrant that it attracted both Nan Yi's family and Zhang Gangzhu's family.

Finally, we just held a rice banquet to make everyone happy.

Liu Haizhong hid far away and was too embarrassed to come closer.

He turned around and went back home, picked up the bowl and threw it in front of Liu Guangfu.

"Liu Guangfu, go to Li Ai's house and beg for food."

"Ah?!" Liu Guangfu looked at the bowl, bewildered: "Dad, has the factory discovered that you stole the steel?"

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"Then why do you let me beg for food?"

Bangs: "."

He was silent for a moment and pulled out his belt.

Those who use puns deserve to be beaten!
