Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 131 Thanks to the rolling mill!

The next morning, Wu Aiguo took the letter of introduction and went to the shoe factory to pick up [-] pairs of Jiefang rubber shoes. Then, accompanied by the deputy chief of the sales department of the shoe factory, he bought many local specialties, including Caohe donkey meat, which was hand-braised. Dingzhou braised rice and so on, then he drove out of Baoding City with satisfaction.

At four o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, Wu Aiguo finally returned to Kyoto City. When Wu Aiguo drove a pickup truck into the compound of the supply and marketing cooperative, Director Jiang came out of the office upon hearing the news.

Director Jiang waited for Wu Aiguo to park the car, and immediately walked to the driver's cab, and enthusiastically said to Wu Aiguo, "Comrade Aiguo! You have worked hard all the way!"

Wu Aiguo opened the car door, walked up to Director Jiang, and replied modestly: "Director Jiang! I am the deputy chief of the purchasing department, and this is my job."

When Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's words, he remembered that Director Yang from the steel rolling mill came to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. He quickly took out a thick envelope from his pocket and said to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Patriot! Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Yang from the steel rolling mill came to the supply and marketing cooperative. Factory Director Yang, come to our supply and marketing cooperative."

"Director Yang told me that on the way to Baoding, you helped the security personnel of the rolling mill and successfully repelled a group of enemy agents. As a thank you, the rolling mill gave you 500 yuan in cash and a receipt with three turns and one ring. "

When bidding farewell to Captain Huang and the others the day before yesterday, Captain Huang had told Wu Aiguo that when they arrived at their destination, they would report what happened on the road to the steel rolling mill. What Wu Aiguo did not expect was that Director Yang of the steel rolling mill , actually came to the supply and marketing cooperative in person to thank him, and even gave him 500 yuan and a three-ring, one-ring note.

Hearing Director Jiang's words, Wu Aiguo took the envelope from the other party and said with a smile, "Director Jiang! I just did what I could. I didn't expect that the rolling mill would be so generous."

When Director Jiang heard what Wu Aiguo said, he thought of the situation introduced by Director Yang, and whispered in Wu Aiguo's ear: "Aiguo! You don't know, but the goods shipped by the steel rolling mill this time appear to be some ordinary steel. It’s actually a shipment of very important parts.”

"If you hadn't discovered the whereabouts of the enemy agents in time and fired a warning shot at the security personnel of the steel rolling mill, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

"In addition, I heard from Director Yang that, in addition to giving you these rewards, the rolling mill also promoted your father to be the deputy director of the welder's workshop in the rolling mill."

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Director Jiang, a surprised expression appeared on his face. He never imagined that this trip to Baoding would actually make his father the deputy director of the workshop.

However, he was happy. Thinking of his mission to Baoding this time, Wu Aiguo took out the shoe factory's warehouse receipt from the cloth bag he was carrying, and reported to Director Jiang: "Director Jiang! I am going to Baoding this time. A total of [-] pairs of canvas shoes were shipped back from the Baoding shoe factory, and this is the warehouse receipt from the shoe factory.”

Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's words, took the document from Wu Aiguo's hand, looked at it seriously, and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Now you hand over to the warehouse first, and wait until these shoes are counted and put into the warehouse. , you go home from get off work first, take a day off at home tomorrow, and come back to work on Monday!"

Several porters of the warehouse, upon hearing the order of the logistics director, immediately climbed into the carriage and counted the shoes brought back by Wu Aiguo. After confirming that the quantity was correct, they moved all the canvas and rubber shoes into the warehouse.

Wu Aiguo completed the handover with the warehouse, walked into the office of the procurement department with a bag, smiled and told one of the buyers: "Shen Min! This is a special product I brought back from Baoding, Baoding donkey meat, you go The cafeteria borrowed a knife, and according to the number of people in our department, each person will share two taels of donkey meat."

In this era, each person's monthly meat ration is only two liang at most. When the buyers in the purchasing department heard that Wu Aiguo decided to divide each person into two liang of donkey meat, their faces all showed A happy expression comes.

One of the buyers couldn't help but swallowed when he thought about the donkey meat that a local factory offered him when he went to Baoding. He said with an afterthought: "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground! Baoding's Donkey meat is very famous, especially Baoding donkey meat fire, I had it once a few years ago, and the taste was absolutely amazing."

After Wu Aiguo handed the donkey meat in the bag to Shen Min, he came to Li Xiangdong's office with another piece of donkey meat. He smiled and said to Li Xiangdong: "Chief Li! I came back from a business trip in Baoding. This is my Take some of the Baoding specialties you brought back from Baoding and give them to your sister-in-law and others to taste."

When factory manager Yang came to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, Li Xiangdong had already learned from his cousin that Wu Aiguo met the rolling mill transport team on the way.

Hearing Wu Aiguo's words, Li Xiangdong took the oiled paper bag from Wu Aiguo's hand, thanked Wu Aiguo with a smile, "Patriotic! Then I will represent your sister-in-law, thank you."

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Xiangdong's thanks, he smiled and said to Li Xiangdong: "Chief Li! Is it necessary to be so polite between us?"

When Li Xiangdong heard what Wu Aiguo said, he suddenly remembered what Li Huaide told him yesterday. He smiled and asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! I heard Huaide say that you encountered enemy agents on your way to Baoding. What on earth is going on? ?”

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Xiangdong ask about the enemy agents, he thought of the relationship between Li Xiangdong and Li Huaide, and he didn't deliberately conceal it. He introduced what happened that morning to Li Xiangdong.

When Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, he secretly broke into a cold sweat for Wu Aiguo in his heart. He said to Wu Aiguo with lingering fear: "Aiguo! Fortunately, you found out that the enemy agents were approaching in time, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous."

Wu Aiguo exchanged pleasantries with Li Xiangdong, then went to the offices of several directors Jiang and several section chiefs, and gave away the donkey meat he brought back from Baoding one by one, and then returned to the courtyard by bicycle.

"Patriot! Are you back from a business trip to Baoding?" Wu Aiguo had just walked into the courtyard. Yan Bugui, the door god of the courtyard, saw Wu Aiguo and immediately greeted Wu Aiguo enthusiastically.

Hearing Yan Bugui's words, Wu Aiguo took out a bag of half a catty donkey meat from the bag hanging on the handlebar of the bicycle, and said to Yan Bugui with a smile, "Third Lord! I brought this back from Baoding." Donkey meat, take some back and give it to my third mother to taste!"

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's words and saw the oil paper bag Wu Aiguo handed him, his eyes suddenly lit up. He asked Wu Aiguo a little embarrassedly: "Aiguo! How can this be so embarrassing?"

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, thought of Yan Bugui's character, and replied with a smile: "Third Master! We are neighbors at the opposite door, so why are you embarrassed?"
