Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 53 Delivery of Grain
As soon as he entered the office, clerk Luo Xiaomei came over and told him that Deputy Director Li's secretary had been here several times and asked him to go to Deputy Director Li's office to find him as soon as he got to work.

Yang Jun said he understood and asked her to go back.

Yang Jun knew why Deputy Factory Director Li was looking for him. Wasn't it just a few days before the Chinese New Year? Didn't he urge him to hurry up?

First, the ashes in the stove were thoroughly drained, replaced with a new briquette, then filled the iron kettle with water and set it on top.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Yang Jun returned to his desk and just grabbed the phone.

"Hey, Sheephorn Wind..."

Before he could speak, Li Tiezhu's irritable voice came from the other side, and Yang Jun subconsciously held the microphone further away from his ears.

"Yang Jiaofeng, do you no longer want food? I called you all day yesterday but no one answered."

"You damn Li Gangjing, who do you see working on Sundays?" Yang Jun took his little finger out of his ears that were buzzing from the shock and replied angrily.

"What? You don't work on Sunday?" Li Gangjing opposite was stunned for a moment, as if he found it incredible.

"Only mules work every day." Yang Jun said again.

Grain stations are different from other units. There are people on duty on Sundays. After all, it is a major matter related to people's livelihood. In Li Tiezhu's view, working on Sundays is the norm.

"You are the mule. Let me tell you, if you don't take away the grain today, I won't be able to hold on. Many units are watching this batch of grain."

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that in just a few days, [-] kilograms of food had been collected. Li Tiezhu was quite efficient in his work.

"Didn't I tell you to send it here?"

"Give me a hammer. There are ten trucks in the grain station. Five are pulling grain out of town, three are collecting grain in the countryside, and one is broken. How can I deliver so much grain to you?" Li Tiezhu mentioned the trucks. Suddenly I felt very angry.

After Yang Jun heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said to Li Tiezhu,

"Okay, I understand. I will immediately ask the leader for instructions and send a car to pull it. Your boy has watched the grain for me. Don't miss a grain before I come."

"Hurry up!"

Yang Jun put down the phone and immediately went to Deputy Director Li's office on the third floor.

Ten minutes later, Deputy Director Li sent Yang Jun out with a smile on his face.

Yang Jun returned to the office and asked Lao Wei to take people to put the originally collected grain into the warehouse of the steel rolling mill. He also asked people to take the purchase order from the purchasing department to the driver's shift to arrange the train.

Half an hour later, Yang Jun came downstairs with two employees.

Ten first-generation Jiefang trucks have been waiting for a long time, and they are accompanied by more than 30 strong workers temporarily transferred from various workshops.

When everyone saw Yang Jun's arrival, they suddenly became happy and shouted to move the food early.

In previous years, when the grain was distributed, each worker only got one pound of white flour, and when the welfare was at its best, it was less than two pounds. Today, when I heard that Yang Jun had obtained [-] kilograms of grain at once, the entire steel rolling mill was boiling. If not In the event of an accident, each person will be given three kilograms of white flour, and with the rations saved at home, they can have a meal of dumplings.

Yang Jun looked at the ten liberation trucks. Each truck carried 4.5 tons and 7 kilograms of grain. Eight trucks were enough, but just in case, he sent ten trucks.

Yang Jun signaled the workers to be calm and asked them to wait for a while.

After a while, I saw two employees wearing greasy work clothes running over, with a heavy wooden box slung on their bodies.

This is the mechanic that Yang Jun transferred from the machine repair class. The car at Li Gangtou Grain Station is broken down. He brings two workers to repair it, which can be regarded as helping him solve some difficulties.When Yang Jun saw the two people arriving, he motioned for them to get in the car, and then got into a jeep with two clerks from the Procurement Department.

The jeep was specially approved by Deputy Director Li in order to show off the majesty of the steel rolling mill.

The clerks who came out with Yang Jun were two women, Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan. They couldn't be allowed to squeeze into the same car with a bunch of rough old men.

Yang Jun started the car and drove out of the steel rolling mill, followed by ten trucks, heading toward the grain station in a mighty manner.

When they arrived at the grain station, Yang Jun told the workers at the steel rolling mill not to move around, and then took Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan to Li Tiezhu's office.

In front of their subordinates, Yang Jun and Li Tiezhu were both polite, and no one called them nicknames.

As soon as the two met, the matter was settled. Then Li Tiezhu called the person in charge of the financial department of the grain station and took Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan to go through the handover procedures.

Then the two of them went downstairs and came to a huge grain warehouse. They asked the warehouse manager to open the grain warehouse. Inside, a mountain of grain appeared in front of them, with bags of packed grain neatly arranged.

Under the supervision of the warehouse manager, Yang Jun waved his hand, and more than 30 people in the steel rolling mill rushed toward the grain.

Seventy thousand kilograms of grain is not a small amount. Each bag of fine flour and corn noodles weighs fifty kilograms. If you pack them all, you will need at least 1400 bags. Based on 30 people, each person will have to carry fifty bags.

It took no more than two hours to complete the move, so Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan were left behind to keep accounts, while he and Liu Tiezhu went to the office to drink tea.

"I said, Lao Yang, you have been back for so many days, have you not contacted your old comrades?"

Li Tiezhu blew on the tea foam in the tea vat, took a few sips, and for the first time did not call Yang Jun by his nickname.

Yang Jun was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this kid had something to say.

"No, what happened?"

"The thing is like this, in order to get this food for you, I used my old comrade-in-arms relationship. No, when I heard that it was your boy who wanted the food, he just brought it over without saying a word. You old man Yang’s face is not small.”

Yang Tiezhu put down the teacup in his hand, crossed his legs and said with narrowed eyes,
"When everyone heard that you had changed careers and came back, we thought that we hadn't seen each other for so many years. Let's see if we have time one day and bring together our old comrades from the Fourth and Nine Cities to get together."

When Yang Jun heard this, he suddenly understood.

It was normal for comrades to gather together, but he knew in his heart that it would definitely not be as simple as he said. He knew without guessing that the old comrades gathering were either brought up in the army, or they had returned to work, at least in the unit. Those who can speak.

Those who have no official position or career, there will definitely be none.

This is the inevitable outcome of society. Don’t believe it. If you believe in comradeship, classmate love, or brotherhood, then you are stupid. Apart from kindergarten, there is no true friendship these days.

People with elders are one group, and people without elders are another group.

It's rare that you see an ordinary soldier mixed in with a group of senior comrades. Even if there is this time, he will not go to the party next time if this soldier is killed.

vice versa.

Comrades get together, build relationships with each other, talk about their friendship, and then leave each other’s phone numbers to help each other if there are any difficulties at work in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that this relationship is not good. In this country where moderation is dominant, social development is also driven by this relationship. As long as it is within the framework of law and morality, everything will not appear so abrupt.

"The time is set, let me know." Yang Jun said to Li Tiezhu.
