Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 597: Chasing Xiao Hei from the Mountain
Wang Wenyuan stood there for a long time without looking around, but the person behind the desk didn't move. Wang Wenyuan couldn't help but lower his head to glance at Director Xing.

Director Xing looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Won't you show me the procedures? How come I didn't know that a section chief was coming?"

"Ah, you don't know. These are my documents. Please take a look." Wang Wenyuan said as he handed the transfer documents to Director Xing.

Director Xing took it, looked at it, and asked, "Back from the Peninsula? How did you get back?"

Wang Wenyuan said: "He was injured and was transported back."

Upon hearing what Wang Wenyuan said, Director Xing chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, sit down and talk." Only then did Wang Wenyuan sit down opposite Director Xing.

Wang Wenyuan briefly talked about his military experience, and also talked about the treacherous yet respectable Company Commander Qi Mengjun, and his own Company Commander, Company Commander Wang Wenli. Director Xing looked at Wang Wenyuan with a strange expression, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Director Xing handed Wang Wenyuan a cigarette, then lit one for himself and said, "The Qi Mengjun you mentioned is also my comrade-in-arms. We were in the same squad at first. As for Wang Wenli, I've heard that he was a fierce general in the Sharp Knife Company. Alas."

The two men smoked and chatted for a while, getting to know each other a little bit, and because they were both soldiers, they became closer.

Director Xing said, "In fact, I can see that you are here with a mission. There is a gap in your resume. You must have been employed during that time. The armed forces cannot have idle personnel, especially now. In this case, I will not give you any tasks. You should familiarize yourself with it first. Forget about this week. You will officially take up your post next Monday. The personnel in the factory are very complicated now, and all parties have gathered together. You should keep a low profile. We will talk again after you are familiar with the situation."

Wang Wenyuan said: "I understand. I will go back to work next week."

Director Xing asked, "By the way, do you have a place to live? Do you need help from the factory?"

Wang Wenyuan said: "I live very close to here, in Nanluoguxiang. There are many people from our factory there."

"That's great. You can find out through them. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I am also a member of the working group. Now the attitudes of the directors of all parties in the factory are still unclear, so we have to be careful. Okay, you can go back and make arrangements for your family." Director Xing said.

Wang Wenyuan nodded, stood up, and walked out of Director Xing’s office.

When he returned to Maoer Hutong, it was already afternoon. Wang Wenyuan rode his bike very slowly, observing the commute routes. When he was about to reach Dongzhimen, he saw a few farmers setting up stalls outside the city to sell things, so Wang Wenyuan walked over.

Several old farmers were holding bamboo baskets and standing in a row. It seemed that they were from the same village. Wang Wenyuan parked the car and looked at the baskets. He squatted in a basket selling chicks. There seemed to be more than ten chicks in it. Wang Wenyuan asked, "How much are they, uncle?"

"One thousand and fifty per chicken, and one thousand and thirteen per chicken if you buy them all." said the old man selling chickens.

Wang Wenyuan counted them and found a total of twelve. Wang Wenyuan said, "Okay, I'll give you 16,000 yuan. Please give me the basket as well, or I won't be able to put them in."

The old man agreed. After paying the money, Wang Wenyuan took the basket and tied it to the back seat with a hemp rope from his car. Just as he was about to get in the car, he felt something pulling at his trouser leg. He looked down and saw a small black dog biting his trouser leg.

Wang Wenyuan was happy. It seemed like he had just talked about buying another dog for his sister and Yushui yesterday, and he came across one today. The puppy was biting his trouser leg quite smartly. Wang Wenyuan bent down and picked up the puppy. The puppy looked at Wang Wenyuan with its eyes and barked twice.

"Why do you want to come with me? If you want, just tell me." Wang Wenyuan said.

The little black dog looked at him seriously and barked. An old man wearing a wolfskin jacket and holding a big pipe said, "Young man, this is a mountain dog. It seems to like you very much. If you want it, I'll sell it to you at a low price."

Wang Wenyuan then saw the man and said, "Sir, you are a hunter, right? Sure, how much is it?"

"How about five hundred thousand? Is that okay?" said the old man.

Wang Wenyuan didn't even bargain, he just took out the money and handed it over, saying, "Okay, it's just destined to be with me. By the way, old man, where do you usually go hunting?"

The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "West Mountain, but it's too deep to go into the mountains. There are too many dangers. There are big insects in there."

Wang Wenyuan was shocked. He didn't expect there were big beasts in the surrounding mountains. He said, "You look like an old hunter. I'd like to visit you someday. I want to go and see you, too." The old man smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to Yangjia Village at the foot of the mountain. If you say you want to find Yang Tieqiang, we all know him."

"Okay, old man, let's go." Wang Wenyuan said hello, put Xiao Hei in his bag, and rode away on his bike.

When I returned to Maoer Hutong, I went straight to my yard, opened the gate, pushed the car in, and after parking it, I put the puppy in the yard. The puppy was really not shy. It walked around with its short legs, sniffing here and there.

Wang Wenyuan took down the basket of chicks and put it in the small courtyard of the gatehouse. He planned to build a chicken coop there. Then he carried the puppy into the main room, put it on the ground, found a bowl, made a cup of goat's milk for the puppy, and put it on the table to cool.

Wang Wenyuan then stood up and walked towards his grandmother's yard. Unexpectedly, the puppy followed him closely from behind. The puppy was so smart.

Just as he walked into the yard, he heard a "ah" and a small figure ran towards him from the direction of the kitchen, chasing the puppy, which was so scared that it jumped straight to Wang Wenyuan's feet.

"Brother, is this Xiao Hei? He's so small and cute." Wang Wenli shouted as she squatted down and picked up the puppy.

Wang Wenyuan smiled and said, "Okay, then let's call him Xiao Hei. He and Xiao Bai will be a perfect match."

Mother Feng also came out of the kitchen, took a look, and complained: "Just spoil these two girls and buy them whatever they want."

"It wasn't much money. This little guy was quite smart and took the initiative to find me. By the way, I also bought a basket of chicks, which are now in our yard." Wang Wenyuan said.

When Mother Feng heard this, she put down the spatula and said, "Why put it in your yard? You don't have time to feed it. I'll get it and raise it here. I've wanted to raise some chickens, ducks or something for a long time." After that, she hurried towards Wang Wenyuan's yard.

"Brother, you bought chicks. I haven't seen chicks yet. I'd like to go and see them too." After saying that, he ran towards the yard carrying Xiao Hei, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.

Wang Wenyuan ignored them and walked straight into Grandma Jinhua's main room. When the old lady saw him coming in, she sat up and asked, "How is it going? Have you completed the formalities?"

Wang Wenyuan nodded and said, "Oh, it's really troublesome. Chairman Lou still needs to sign it."

"Who, Lou Bancheng? You saw him. He's a tough guy." Granny Jinhua said.

Wang Wenyuan looked at Granny Jinhua in surprise and asked, "Grandma, do you still know her?"

Granny Jinhua leaned back in her rocking chair and said, "How could you not recognize him? In the old society, every capitalist who started out with money had blood on his hands, let alone Lou Bancheng."

Wang Wenyuan shook his head and said, "I think this person is not simple, but that factory is really chaotic, there are all kinds of people, good and bad."

Granny Jinhua said, "I guess it won't make any difference if you go. Just watch the show and don't get yourself into trouble."

Granny Jinhua had heard Director Wang talk about the current policy, so she made some guesses.

At this time, no one knew how the little black dog found Wang Wenyuan. They saw him struggling to crawl in from the threshold. Mother Hua saw him immediately and said, "Where did this little black dog come from? He's so cute." Then she walked over and picked him up.

Wang Wenyuan said: "I bought it outside Dongzhimen today. This dog is very smart and seems to be destined to be with me, so I bought it."

Granny Jinhua waved her hand and asked Mother Hua to bring Xiao Hei over. Mother Hua brought Xiao Hei to Granny Jinhua. Granny Jinhua stroked him twice and said, "Good dog, a genuine mountain dog. This dog is well raised."

Before she finished her words, she heard a "meow" and Xiaobai ran out from somewhere and kept climbing onto Grandma Jinhua's legs.

Granny Jinhua laughed and said, "Oh, you little guy is jealous, haha." Wang Wenyuan also found it very interesting.
