Men and women eating in the courtyard

Song Chenliang's "The Third Book of Emperor Xiaozong" said: "The trend of the world's situation cannot be changed by human power."

What Li Xuewu did in the steel rolling mill in the face of the world situation would inevitably be as ridiculous as a mantis trying to control a cart or a cricket shaking a tree in the eyes of a caring person.

To eliminate the influence and stabilize the situation by restraining words, conduct and work is no less than drinking poison to quench thirst.

The more severe the suppression today, the more serious the rebound may be later.

Fangmin's words are better than Fangchuan's. No one can frighten the people of Youyou.

The formation of the wave is due to historical inertia, and it will inevitably have a huge influence after the overall policy promotion.

So, Li Xuewu did useless work?

How is it possible? As long as the work is done, there will be no uselessness.

If this trend is really suppressed, then Yang Yuansong will be resurrected.

Why does Li Huaide support Li Xuewu?

Because what Li Xuewu did was actually protecting the rolling steel mill and him.

Yang Yuansong wants to take advantage of this trend to make waves. You can imagine how worried he is.

He came up by "making waves", so he naturally understands the strength and effect of wind and waves. When faced with wind and waves again, he naturally does not want anyone to follow his path.

So the wind can stay and the waves can be eliminated!

It was precisely because of the ferocity of the trend that Li Xuewu acted so seriously and made a solemn statement to all the cadres and workers in the factory.

Without passionate impulses and villains, the influence of this sub-trend can be considered to have landed smoothly in the steel rolling mill.

Under the guidance and leadership of the propaganda team and the grassroots work correction team, the workshops, departments, and units carried out the activities in an orderly manner.

With ideas, changes and actions, the propaganda team specially opened up propaganda positions in factory newspapers and radio stations.

All articles participating in critical discussions will be screened for publication and publicity.

With an outlet for their emotions and thoughts, the steel rolling mill employees all calmed down from the excitement caused by that piece of paper.

Among the workers, the increasingly influential work correction team and the propaganda team presided over the guidance and criticism discussion work, but their targets were directly directed at Yang Yuansong.

The activities have been held, the slogans have been shouted, and everyone has arrived. How can we eliminate the influence without bringing out a role model?

So on Saturday afternoon, as expected, Yang Yuansong, who had been jumping up and down for two days, was attacked by a group of steel rolling mill employees.

On October 4th, Saturday, the factory newspaper published a commentary article:

Along with the factory newspaper, the radio station also selected and read the views and opinions of the steel rolling mill employees on the ideological work and problems that occurred in production and life in the past period in the form of letters from employees.

Individual employees made it clear in their letters that there was a problem with the management of the steel rolling mill and that they had set a wrong example for grassroots employees in the process of production and ideological guidance.

They firmly support the correct leadership of the Management Committee at this stage, resolutely resist the working group, and oppose their erroneous ideological construction guidance.

Grassroots organizations also expressed their opinions in letters, summarizing their current production work and ideological construction work.

The opinion pointed out: The management committee has been able to fully take charge of and lead the steel rolling mill to complete the production tasks well, and the ideological direction it represents is also in line with the current work and development needs of the steel rolling mill.

Some leaders of some radical organizations have publicly expressed their opinions, suggesting that the management committee should comprehensively manage and lead the production and construction of the steel rolling mill.

Some people expressed that the committee has lost its necessary role and significance, especially the team with Yang Yuansong as the main person in charge.

…

The opinions of the employees of the steel rolling mill are very prominent, and the key contradictions in the discussions and discussions are also very clear, that is, not to be managed by the committee, but to be managed by the management committee.

Replacing people has become the core idea of ​​criticizing the "capital eradication and class negation line" activities and a necessary means to correct practical errors.

Yang Yuansong went through all the troubles and finally reached this day.

It’s not that he didn’t plan or fight.

But just as the times chose Li Xuewu, the times also chose him.

Of course, it can also be said that Li Huaide chose him and chose his position.

Li Huaide once coveted Yang Fengshan's position, but he couldn't get it and was extremely distressed.

Later, he took advantage of the trend and overtook others in corners. From the perspective of the management committee, he used the influence of the trend to gradually control the administrative work of the steel rolling mill.

Now, the management committee has reached the best time to take full control of the steel rolling mill. How could Li Huaide let him go?

It can be said that Li Huaide has never had a head-on confrontation with Yang Yuansong, including Zhang Guoqi's accident.

He is now a porcelain, and Yang Yuansong is an earthen pot.

Li Huaide is pushing the management committee to form a crushing situation and directly eliminate Yang Yuansong and the committee he represents.

The son of a rich man will not sit in the hall.

Lao Li now has a distinguished status and knows the need to not leave the game easily.

Li Xuewu is controlling the overall situation and suppressing the wind, while he is fully promoting the power grab of the management committee.

The two of them had planned for a long time and each performed his own duties. Yang Yuansong, who was fighting together in this battle, was confused and didn't know the north or the south.

Especially on Friday, Li Xuewu took advantage of the general trend to unite all the middle-level cadres in the factory.

Although this power of unity is short-lived, as long as there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Li Xuewu is not able to control and influence the ideology of middle-level cadres, but as long as he can exert a huge influence, it will be considered a big progress.

In the past, who could hold meetings for middle-level cadres?

Now Li Xuewu has opened it, and he did it in the canteen in front of all the cadres at the deputy section level and above.

Let you see, let you know, let you hear, seize every opportunity to expand the scope of influence.

Win the battle and profit from the victory.

If you don't fight for it now, why don't you wait until Li Huaide finally gives you his share?

He is happy when you help him, but when you want to share his cake, you become his enemy.

Li Xuewu cooperated with him and never asked for anything.

What he wanted had already been planned before the cooperation.

Fighting and grabbing at the same time, whatever he grabs is his, even if Li Huaide comes.

Therefore, Li Huaide felt relieved about Li Xuewu and gradually began to trust Li Xuewu.

Of course, it was not only because he knew that a pregnant woman lived in the Jinmen Garden Villa, but also because he recognized and believed in Li Xuewu's ability at work.

Forget about anything else, who would dare to lead the security department and unite all forces to brave the storm?

At least Li Huaide himself had to admit that he did not have the courage.

Not now, not before, he couldn't do such a thing at all.

But among the elements of success, this kind of adventurous spirit and this kind of courage to move forward are needed.

A gentleman's life is not different, he is good at things and fake things.

Li Huaide knew that he didn't have it and still needed this ability, so why not use Li Xuewu?

The more reused it is, the more defensive it is.

The more burdens are added, the less trust becomes.

While the letter was still being read out at the radio station on Saturday, Li Huaide called Li Xuewu and asked if he had time on Sunday and asked him to go to Jinmen.

Li Xuewu would not spoil him. Things here are not over yet. Now he wants to sing and dance?

Isn’t it a little early!?

Do you know what Li Xuewu is most afraid of?

Pop the champagne at halftime! Brother!

I went to Jinmen to play on Sunday, and when I came back on Monday, I found that the weather had changed, and I couldn’t find a way to cry!

Li Xuewu has always advocated sending people to the West, preferably to death.

As long as the matter was unresolved, he would feel uneasy.

So he politely rejected Li Huaide for a very good reason - he had to stock up on cabbage at home on Sunday and he didn't have time!

Li Huaide was stunned for a moment when he heard this reason, and hung up the phone dumbfounded.

Yes, it’s early October, and people all over the four or nine cities are starting to stock up on Chinese cabbage, radish, green onions, and big potatoes...

This vegetable stocking activity can last until November, when no fresh vegetables arrive in large quantities in the city.

Don't underestimate the matter of storing Chinese cabbage. Even Li Huaide's family probably has to prepare for this.

Of course, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing, and his wife might not be able to buy it.

Li Haiyang was such a smart kid, he wished he could arrange all the life and work in Li Huaide's family.

He is Li Huaide's secretary. He can just go to the office and call a few people, and some of them are willing to help the leader with his home work.

Sha Qizhi also wanted to help, but Li Xuewu wouldn't let him.

If he helps me at work, it's a job, but if he helps me when he's home, it's selfishness.

A secretary is just a secretary, not a housekeeper, a laborer, or a follower.

Li Xuewu respected him and Han Jiankun just as they respected him.

It is precisely because of this respect and understanding that the two of them are determined to help him.

On Sunday, Li Xuewu got up in the morning and just walked downstairs when he saw Qin Jingru coming in from outside.

"How did you come?"

Instead of welcoming him, he frowned and asked, "Didn't I let you and Jiankun rest until next week?"

"Hey~ Isn't it okay to be idle at home?"

Qin Jingru seems to be different after she gets married. She still wears the same clothes, but her temperament has changed a lot.

He raised his hand to comb the hair around his ears and joked with a smile: "He and his family had nothing to do. They even wiped the bicycle ten times and oiled all the cabinet doors of the furniture."

"Then take a good rest."

The old lady coaxed Li Shu to run and play in the living room. Seeing her come in, she said with a smile: "It's only been a few days, it's a wedding day."

"You are not welcome here!"

Li Xuewu pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Jiankun didn't tell you? I don't want to see you before next Wednesday~"

He went to get a tea cup from the tea cabinet, twisted a little tea leaves into it, and made tea with a boiling kettle.

Qin Jingru looked at Li Xuewu, smiled at the old lady, and said, "Oh~ I'm worried about Sister Xiao Ning and Li Shu."

As he spoke, he walked to the living room, squatted in front of Li Shu, and asked with a smile: "My dear, do you miss your aunt?"

Li Shu looked at Qin Jingru who was standing in front of her. Of course she knew who this was.

But even you, Qin Jingru, can't block my way!

When Li Shu saw her opening her arms to hug him, her feet changed directions and smoothly passed around her hand, continuing to run clumsily.

The painful experience of falling last time has long been forgotten. Now she wishes she could grow eight legs and run everything she does.

That’s how pissy it is!

Qin Jingru looked at Li Shu with some hurt, and said angrily: "Little brat! I won't make you any delicious food!"

Li Shu didn't care about her. When she saw her father standing by the tea cabinet, she thought he was eating and ran after him.

When she saw her father holding the tea cup, she stretched out her little hand and wanted it too.

"Baba~eat!"

She was quite smart, holding onto Li Xuewu's pants with her little hands, her big eyes twinkling like little stars, the kind that would make her cry if she didn't give him a hand.

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth, squatted down, took her little hand and touched the teacup gently.

"ah!"

Li Shu's eyes widened, she hurriedly retracted her hand, and looked at Ba Ba aggrievedly.

Li Xuewu asked with a wicked smile: "Do you want more?"

Li Shu looked at Bad Dad, holding back her tears, and pursed her lips angrily.

Li Xuewu picked up his daughter with a smile, turned to Qin Jingru and said, "Go and do whatever you have to do. Your family is fine, and you don't have to worry about anyone."

Li Shu didn't remember to eat or drink. She had been scalded just now. When she saw Ba Ba hugging her and holding a tea cup in her other hand and drinking "sizzlingly", she reached out to grab it.

Li Xuewu is really helpless. This girl is a bandit. If you're being polite to me, I'll take her away if you don't give her to me!

The old lady took Qin Jingru's hand, sat on the sofa, and inquired about her married life.

Qin Jingru was a little embarrassed. When she saw Li Xuewu holding the child and looking for food, she whispered to the old lady.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to her. It was okay to be a guest, but not to go to work. It was a bit early.

Li Shu had enough power all morning and was very lively, no matter how she played, Li Xuewu deliberately teased her without crying, focusing on being lively and active.

Li Xuewu found the pastries he brought back from Jinmen from the cabinet, and then he rested for a while.

The old lady left Qin Jingru at home to have breakfast, which meant that she would go home and rest after breakfast.

Qin Jingru stood up and took Li Shu from Li Xuewu's arms and said, "The old lady said you want to buy cabbage?"

"Well, I'm not going"

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa with a teacup in hand, picked up the newspaper, and explained: "The factory has already calculated the statistics and will distribute them."

"I told the old lady to go to the compound today. I'm afraid there won't be enough food, so I'll arrange for Guodong to buy some more and share it with everyone."

"How troublesome~"

Qin Jingru held Li Shu in her arms and stood in front of the coffee table and said, "I'll buy it later. I won't be able to save it even if I buy it now."

"It will be better if you get some sunshine"

Li Xuewu didn't understand this very well, but he arranged for Shen Guodong to go shopping because he had a car, which would be convenient for several people to take to the hospital.

Even if he doesn't use Sha Qizhi and Han Jiankun, he can use Shen Guodong and the boys, but he doesn't mind.

There were too many people in the room, so we suffered a big loss last year.

How much extra money does it cost just to buy Chinese cabbage?

In this era, there is a subsidy for winter storage vegetables. It only costs 3 cents per kilogram to buy them during winter storage.

At night, you can see trucks carrying vegetables on the road.

During the day, "cabbage mountains" will appear on the streets, and then "long queues" of people buying cabbage will appear...

The sales of Chinese cabbage revealed a “special” status in the era of planned economy.

"Urban-rural cooperation, public and private development, everyone taking action, and every household saving vegetables" is the core slogan for storing Chinese cabbage.

If you look closely, the word "public and private" shows how special it is.

Are you saying that only ordinary people store Chinese cabbage?

In fact, offices, factories, schools, restaurants and even street offices also need to store Chinese cabbage.

Why does Chinese cabbage only cost 3 cents per kilogram during winter storage?

It’s not that the output is large, nor that the price of cabbage at this time is cheap.

Li Xuewu woke up in the morning and sat on the sofa drinking tea. The answer was on the opened newspaper:

When winter-stored Chinese cabbage sells for about 3 cents per kilogram, the purchase price on the ground is about 2 cents per kilogram.

The actual cost of each kilogram of Chinese cabbage is about 1.1 cents when factored into the various costs involved in the circulation process.

The price difference will be borne entirely by the capital's finances.

So at this time, Beijing citizens have the impression that the Chinese cabbage currently sold for 3 cents per pound is subsidized.

If you miss it, firstly, it will be a hassle to buy it for free, and secondly, you will have to spend several or ten times the price.

It’s easy for urban workers!

This is all we can earn!

In this era when there are few alternatives to other vegetables, Daizaofang did not prepare enough cabbage last year and spent the whole winter relying on "bargaining vegetables", which is really a big expense.

This summer, Lao Biaozi was still murmuring about this matter distressedly, saying that in autumn, he would have to fuck him for thousands of pounds, store it up and eat it slowly.

The population of Li Xuewu's family is not small. Qin Jingru is eating here. If the old lady doesn't go back for the time being, it will be a family of five.

A few hundred kilograms is a normal amount, because Chinese cabbage still contains moisture, so you have to bask it in the sun after you buy it, and it can be stored after it is dried.

When eating, you have to remove the rotten vegetable leaves on the outside. It’s good to have enough leftover to eat.

Of course, this year there are preparations on the mountain, so you won’t be lonely at the dining table in the back room.

Li Xuewu planned to ask Shen Guodong to send some to those close to these families.

You can buy Chinese cabbage in the city. You don’t need to give this as a gift. Everyone can afford it and buy it.

But there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to buy the vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, potatoes, radishes, etc. grown in the mountains.

At this time, there is really no need to pay much attention to gifts. If you give someone a bag of potatoes, it will make the hostess happy.

No one can stand eating Chinese cabbage all winter long. If you have a way to eat it, everyone will be happy to eat it.

Li Xuewu was prepared, so he didn't want to let Qin Jingru work blindly, and even took the initiative to ask about her family's preparations.

Qin Jingru had just gotten married, so she really hadn't talked about this with her mother-in-law. When it comes to talking about it today, it was Li Xuewu who talked about it with the old lady last night.

The Li family bought cabbage earlier because they wanted to pickle sauerkraut. Li Xuewu didn't know this skill, so the old lady and mother did it.

It doesn't work if it's too early, it doesn't work if it's too late, it's very troublesome.

Especially since the population has increased this year, there is not enough pickled cabbage to eat.

You can make soybean paste in several large vats, not to mention sauerkraut.

"Tell your old lady to ask Jiankun to buy some cabbage, and ask Guodong to send you some other vegetables later."

"Hi~How much can you eat at home?"

Qin Jingru waved her hand and said, "I eat a lot here, and he eats a lot in the factory. My mother-in-law is the only one at home. Don't let Brother Guodong get into trouble."

"Then give less and give it a try."

Li Xuewu flipped through the newspaper carelessly and delivered vegetables to other people's homes. He could not miss her home.

He is not an outsider in any sense. As long as the couple works hard, he doesn't care about these things.

"By the way, it's time to buy coal too."

Li Xuewu put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head, glanced at Qin Jingru, and asked, "How much coal do we need to buy for our family?"

He also asked this question out of habit. Before Qin Jingru could answer, he said to himself: "How many did you burn last year?"

“I need to buy more”

Qin Jingru reminded: "This is a building, not a bungalow. The heating stove cannot be turned off."

"Besides, Sister Xiao Ning gives birth to a baby in the middle of the year, and the baby won't be able to bear it if the temperature is not enough."

"Yeah, you're right."

Li Xuewu nodded and frowned thinking about this.

In fact, the coal in Sijiucheng is the same as Chinese cabbage, radish and other winter vegetables, and there is a matching quota.

Every year before winter, each enterprise must uniformly organize the purchase and distribution of winter vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radishes, green onions, and potatoes based on the quantities reported by employees.

Some large companies will also purchase and distribute coal for the winter.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory and has already started purchasing vegetables and coal.

However, if the family has a large population or needs a lot, it may not be enough. After all, it is purchased uniformly by the factory.

If you are worried that there will be no food to eat, the factory will report the number, and then you will have to go to the street to buy it at home.

The same goes for coal, but instead of lumps of coal, the ones distributed are shaken briquettes.

How should I put it, these briquettes are not all coal, but a composite product, which is a bit choking when burned.

It is shaken out of coal foam, crushed coal, and colloidal loess, just like shaking the Lantern Festival.

Later generations improved it into a honeycomb pancake shape, which increased the oxygen contact area and facilitated combustion, called honeycomb briquettes.

Anyway, it's not pure. If it's mixed with loess, do you think it can burn better than coal?

Li Xuewu really didn't expect this at first. After hearing what she said, he really needed to use more fuel coal this year.

There are many units in Sijiucheng that can use lump coal, and the steel rolling mill is a big consumer of coal.

But Li Xuewu wasn't going to go to the steel rolling mill to complain, so he didn't have to say anything.

There is a small coal mine over there in Hongxing Village. In the past, the village used to go there and pay for coal themselves.

Of course, the output is a bit low, and it was precisely because of the low output that it was abandoned, otherwise the village would not be able to take advantage of this advantage.

Industrial mining is not worth it, but it is enough for your own use.

There was a reason why the 816th Regiment chose that place as its base.

At the very least, the supply of coal is sufficient, and fuel freedom is basically achieved.

Li Xuewu made a note of this in his mind, and later asked Shen Guodong to go to the mountain to get a cart of coal down.

It’s okay if you’re cold, but it’s not worth it if your family is cold.

The bigger the house, the higher the cost of living. Villas and houses are not affordable for ordinary people at any time.

In future generations, even if you are middle class, you will not be able to afford a villa.

All kinds of expenses are piled up together, and they are almost as much as your salary for several months. Are you willing to live with them?

Li Xuewu's house came for free, and it is close to Gu Ning's workplace, otherwise you would think that he would be able to live there.

Dede hasn't come to live here for half a year because the fees are too high and people with no conditions can't afford it.

If you buy a ton of coal for the house in the courtyard, you can save enough to burn it for a whole winter.

Ocean Warehouse No. 1? !

Okay, Li Xuewu thought in his mind, even a piece of coal would cost two and a half to three tons.

Don’t think that it’s a lot because the unit of measurement is tons. A piece of coal is really not that much denser than a lump of coal.

Li Xuewu thought that if it didn't work out, he would collect it and buy three tons of it.

Just now you were saying that the cost of renting a house was too high and you couldn't afford to live in it. Now you're lavishing money again?

Hi! I'm going to be a father soon!

Burn it, burn it hard, and freeze it. No one can freeze their own children!

A father would rather smoke less packs of cigarettes to keep his children warm.

——

If you don’t become a householder, you don’t know how valuable firewood and rice are; if you don’t raise children, you don’t know how much your parents are kind to you.

They all felt that Li Xuewu was going to be a father, and he understood more about his parents' nurturing grace, so he often came back to the courtyard to visit his family.

When it comes to starting a family and starting a career, why should starting a family come before starting a career?

Because after having a family, a man will show a stable side, and his perspective on thinking about problems will become mature and far-reaching, which is more conducive to establishing a career.

So it is better to get married early so that you can have more experience and insights on life.

Of course, some people think that it is better to get married later, because they have more freedom without a wife to take care of them.

Silly Zhu is a little uncomfortable with being controlled by his wife. He is used to being free and loose. Delia said that he feels restricted no matter what he does.

Just as he came out with the sales department, he saw Li Xuewu's car coming in from the alley.

"Hey! Rare visitor!"

Silly Zhu curled his lips and asked with a smile: "Why does Deputy Secretary Li have time to visit the store?!"

Li Xuewu didn't drive into the west courtyard, so he parked his car under the wall of the upside-down house.

When he walked to the sales department, he looked at Silly Zhu and said with a chuckle: "You must have learned this from the big teapot in the Bada Hutong outside the front door!"

Li Xuewu looked at him and said: "A good greeting will make you say that the uncle often comes to play."

"Your mouth is really damaging!"

Silly Zhu wanted to tease Li Xuewu, but he didn't expect that he would kill him instead.

"If I were a big teapot, the one in the sales department behind me..."

"Brother Zhu'er!!!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a growl from behind, and then Wang Yamei came out dissatisfied and pushed him from behind.

"Why do you say everything?"

Wang Yamei scolded him, then gestured to the store and said, "Look, how is my sister-in-law looking at you?"

"I didn't say it first!"

Silly Zhu didn't need to look back to know what Delia looked at him. He also knew that he said the wrong thing, but he didn't intend to admit it.

Not only did he not admit it, he also wanted to drag Li Xuewu into the water.

Li Xuewu smiled and squeezed past him into the store.

There were quite a lot of people today, and Shen Guodong also stayed at home because he was busy on Sunday.

There were some neighbors who came to sell rags in the store. Li Xuewu said hello with a smile, said something to the second master and others, and then went to the backyard.

There is a lot of waste accumulated in the backyard. It may be that it was accumulated some time ago, or it may be that more has been collected recently.

Isn't it important to get rid of the fourth uncle now? All old things have to be smashed, burned or sold.

Just because I heard that my fourth uncle Po and my third uncle Wen San'er were about to run away.

Shen Guodong and his grandfather were sorting, tying and weighing. When they saw Li Xuewu come in, they straightened up with a smile and said hello.

Li Xuewu looked at the types of waste accumulated. There were still a lot of books and papers, and the rest was scrap metal.

"Didn't you go out today?"

"Go out later"

Shen Guodong wanted to bring Li Xuewu cigarettes, but Li Xuewu waved him away.

It's all waste here, and it would be troublesome if smoking caused a fire.

Another thing, I just told my family to smoke a few less packs of cigarettes, so I have some coal money left over for my family.

"A lot of work now?"

Li Xuewu looked at Shen Guodong and his eldest grandmother with a smile, and warned: "The weather is getting colder, so be careful not to catch a cold sooner or later."

"Hi, nothing's wrong"

Shen Guodong put the cigarette back into his pocket and wiped his nose with the cotton gloves on his hands. The already dirty gloves were filled with a layer of black.

Since September, the weather in Beijing has become drier and dustier.

When the north wind blows in a few days, the dust will become even bigger. Sometimes there will be sandstorms, and the sky will be gray.

The eldest grandma took off the hat on her head and knocked it on her hand. A burst of dust also appeared, which showed that the work of collecting scraps was really boring.

"Is your home nice?"

“Everything is fine”

Li Xuewu introduced with a smile: "Li Shu would have run away, if it wasn't for the cold weather, she would have brought her."

"Stop fussing"

The eldest grandma smiled, waved her hand and said: "There is no need to suffer if you catch a cold."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with the unit?"

"Don't worry, I won't be able to hang out if something happens."

Li Xuewu guessed that Shazhu came back and told what happened in the steel rolling mill in the past two days, which made his eldest grandmother worried.

"It's all normal work, it's not as complicated as you think."

He explained a few unimportant words, which made my grandma feel relieved.

The three of them stood in the west courtyard and talked about things at home and the recycling bin.

As time passes into October, fewer people come to sell antiques and more people sell scraps.

There are fewer people buying red books, and more people selling copied goods.

The number of young people among the customers gradually decreased, and the sales department regained its previous calm.

However, this kind of calmness is also relative, and everyone in the store has a tension in their hearts.

I couldn’t bring up any topics about changes or major learning activities. I just continued my business of purchasing scraps and selling second-hand items.

Li Xuewu didn't say anything while listening to Shen Guodong's report. These were all he could think of and what he should think of.

Now the topic of buying vegetables and coal came up again. Li Xuewu told Shen Guodong to take the time to go up the mountain to pull some vegetables and give each family a share.

At the same time, I also told the boys to take time to use a tricycle to help each family go to the streets to buy cabbage.

The wife and mother-in-law are the only ones in the house, so they have to help. The godmother's old couple are in the house, so they have to help.

He also has to let him do the purchasing at the club. The remaining ones include the homes of Dean Liu and Dean Zhao of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the home of the cheap old man at the Light Military Institute, and the home of the cheap old man in Huaqing...

Don't count, it's a lot of relationships.

Get some carrots, radishes, etc. to share. These things are expensive to buy and easy to store, which is a good idea.

There is also the matter of coal. Since it is necessary to do it, then do more of it. It will be used at his home and in the courtyard.

For fear of causing trouble, he also told Shen Guodong that he could use the coal himself and not send it out.

One is unlucky, and the other is a mistake. Selling coal requires procedures, and they can't explain where the coal comes from.

After explaining to him, Li Xuewu thought of Wen San'er again.

"Third uncle may be coming back in the next few days, so remember to prepare a copy for him."

Li Xuewu scratched his face and said, "Third aunt will be at home."

"Third uncle is back and left again."

When Shen Guodong saw him talking about this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I arrived home the night before yesterday and left again the next day."

"Why didn't you notify me?"

Li Xuewu frowned and said, "Didn't we give him some time? What happened to him being so busy?"

"I said I wouldn't tell you."

Shen Guodong sat next to the stack of books and papers and explained: "Although Brother Biao took over smoothly, he is still worried and has to go back and keep an eye on it."

"There is also the matter of Dongfeng Shipping"

Shen Guodong raised his head and said: "It is said that the goods are being loaded on the dock. I don't know when it will set off. He is afraid that it will be too late and he will not be able to catch the ship."

Li Xuewu thought about it. He was also waiting for news and would have to go to the club to talk to Sister Lou later.

"Where is third aunt? Have you settled in?"

"It's okay. Didn't Biaozi live there before?"

Shen Guodong wanted to smoke, but there was a pile of paper sitting under his butt. He took it out and put it back in his pocket.

Xiaoyan is very strict with him now. He can't smoke more than half a pack a day, so he has to be sparing.

Li Xuewu saw what he was thinking and threw him to the big front door with only one cigarette in his pocket.

"How can third aunt do it alone at home?"

He thought for a while and said, "Go there later and tell your third aunt to take her children and move them to my house in the backyard."

Shen Guodong stood up and asked hesitantly: "It's not the month yet..."

Seeing Li Xuewu frowning, he asked again: "Where will you stay when you come back?"

"Why should I come back?"

Li Xuewu twitched his lips and said, "If your sister-in-law doesn't come back, I can't come back either. The backyard is still empty."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "That's the arrangement. Tell your third aunt that I asked you to go."

Li Xuewu actually didn't want Wen San'er to send his wife and children back.

It's not that they're afraid of trouble, but it's really not good for a couple to separate after they have just gotten married and have children.

Especially since Fei Shanying had a big belly and a child, and Biaozi and his wife were not at home, it was a problem who would take care of her.

Hearing that Wen San'er had come back, he finally thought about it and decided to bring him to the backyard so that everyone could take care of him.

Wen San'er was worried that it would be unsafe to go to Hong Kong City because he was not familiar with the place and would bring trouble to his wife and mother.

In fact, what he thought was right, Li Xuewu had to take care of his worries.

Wen San'er was working hard for him outside, so he had to take good care of Fei Shanying and the children, even more than Wen San'er himself.

The small courtyard of her home is not very far from here, but it is still quite far away, and no one knows anything about it.

The backyard was empty, so it was better to arrange for her to take the child there.

On weekdays, we just live in this courtyard. If anything happens, my mother and the people in the back room can handle it immediately.

Even eating is much more convenient. If you are willing to eat with the inverted house, come here. If you want to open a small stove by yourself, the backyard guy has everything.

Shen Guodong naturally agrees with this arrangement, but if he needs to say more and think more, some relationships will become inappropriate if they are too close.

But Fei Shanying is an elder, and she gets along well with them, and her character is good, otherwise she would be able to conceive a child for Wen San'er.

Wen San'er dared to send his wife and children back, which showed that he had full trust in his family.

There may be something to reassure Li Xuewu, but does Li Xuewu care about this?

It's not like he doesn't know about Xiao Tao, he expects this mother-in-law to be unable to hold a man's heart.

If Wen San'er wants to rebel, no one can stop him. Once he goes to Hong Kong City, he will be like a dragon entering the sea.

However, if Li Xuewu didn't trust Wen San'er, could he give him this opportunity?

Zhang Wanhe's body was covered with kite strings, but Li Xuewu didn't make any arrangements on his body.

But the more he did this, the more Wen Saner trusted him and the more he wanted to gain his trust.

The reason is very simple. If Li Xuewu wants to make money, he has plenty of ideas and opportunities, at least this much.

What he invests in is not projects, but people, and the feelings between brothers.

Wen San'er knew very well that his so-called career creation was entirely due to the support and help Li Xuewu gave him.

Without Li Xuewu, he is nothing.

Especially the shares in the recycling bin are pulling him. He still knows which one has more and which one has less.

As long as Li Xuewu opens up territory and conquers cities, Li Xuewu will never treat them badly in the future.

Just because Li Xuewu had cut off his shares so clearly and so generously, he identified Li Xuewu.

Once his wife and children are sent home, it is up to Li Xuewu to make any arrangements. He is very sure that if Li Xuewu's wife has something to eat, his wife will not be hungry.

When he has established a firm foothold in Hong Kong City, and Fei Shanying's physical condition allows it, he can just take the children over.

He was trading his loyalty for Li Xuewu's sincerity. Li Xuewu understood his thoughts and didn't tell Shen Guodong.

There must always be cooperation between people. Without such a tacit understanding, how can you be a big brother?

Counting the time, it was already early October, and he would have to accompany Li Huaide to Yangcheng in a few days.

When the time comes, Sister Lou will follow him and go to Yangcheng to join Lou Yu who has returned with the group.

The two have to hand over and exchange identities. Lou Yu will stay in the mainland as planned, while Sister Lou will go to Hong Kong City.

Li Xuewu and Sister Lou arrived at Yangcheng, and the ship Wen Saner was on also arrived at Yangcheng. At that time, the next plan will be implemented according to the situation.

The number of people he can use is limited, so he can only give full play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Shen Guodong's work here is the most important. The business of the recycling station must be taken care of, the relationship with the capital must be maintained, and the communication with the port city and steel city must be handled well.

Coordinate in the middle and cooperate with the think tanks on the mountain to incorporate the "cross-strait and three places" into the trade network.

While they were talking, Yan Fugui came over from the screen door of the west courtyard.
