1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

The buyer seemed to have guessed their thoughts and continued, "Comrades, the higher-ups have assigned us a task, and our director wants to ask if you can help."

After hearing this, the three of them felt relieved.

So, the purchasing agent led Li Dahe and the other two to the door of the purchasing station director's office.

The staff knocked on the door and a steady "Come in" came from inside.

The staff member pushed open the door and stepped aside to let the three people in.

"Director Liu, these are the three comrades who often come here to hand in their prey!"

Li Dahe took a deep breath and walked in first, followed by Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang.

Director Liu of the purchasing station was sitting behind his desk. When he saw them come in, a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Three comrades, don't be nervous, come and sit down."

Li Dahe and the other two sat down stiffly, waiting for Director Liu to speak.

The director looked at them and slowly said, "Comrades, I heard that you often catch prey and send it to us. This is really not easy."

"We are just lucky. Director Liu asked us to come here. I wonder what's the matter?" Li Dahe said straight to the point.

Director Liu looked at Li Dahe and the other two, his eyes full of anticipation.

He said directly: "It's like this. The higher-ups have given us a task to buy 200 kilograms of meat every month. You know the current situation, we are really under a lot of pressure, so we want you to help us."

There was a hint of urgency in Director Liu's tone, his brows were slightly furrowed, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Li Dahe looked at Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang who were sitting next to him, and the three of them exchanged glances.

Li Dahe said directly: "Director Liu, to be honest, the three of us are buyers for the steel mill, and we are under a lot of pressure at work. We only caught this little prey yesterday when we returned to our hometown. Moreover, if we hadn't completed the task, we would definitely not have handed it over to the purchasing station, don't you think?"

Li Dahe's tone was steady and his eyes revealed caution.

After hearing what he said, Director Liu finally understood the identities of the three people.

He was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that these three people were actually buyers.

But I was very surprised to hear that the three of them had completed this month's purchasing tasks.

Nowadays, no matter which factory it is, the buyers' work tasks are under great pressure.

However, the three people in front of him were different. It had only been a short period of time this month, and they had already completed the task, which showed that they were still capable.

When Director Liu thought of this, he admired the three people even more.

"Even so, it's because you have real abilities. The supplies are so scarce right now, and you were able to complete the task so quickly. People without abilities can't do that."

Director Liu's tone was full of admiration and his face showed an expression of appreciation.

However, Director Liu wanted to say something, but was rejected by Li Dahe.

Li Dahe said, "You are right. Supplies are indeed in short supply right now. Don't underestimate these few prey. This is what we got yesterday. As for completing the mission, it was only after we went through all the nearby mountains that we were lucky enough to get this."

“Although we want to help, we are powerless!”

Director Liu felt a little disappointed after hearing what Li Dahe said.

He knew that what Li Dahe said made sense, and it was indeed difficult to hunt prey now.

But he was eager to complete the task and was very conflicted.

He looked at Li Dahe and the other two, trying to persuade them.

"Comrades, I know this is very difficult for you. But the orders from above are all death orders, and I really have no other choice... If you can help, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

There was a hint of pleading in Director Liu's tone and his eyes were full of expectation.

Li Dahe and the other two exchanged glances again.

Li Dahu frowned slightly and said, "Director Liu, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that this prey is too hard to find. We can't guarantee that we can find it."

There was a hint of helplessness in Li Dahu's tone and his expression was embarrassed.

It is indeed a hunting matter, it is really hard to say. What if they promised others but cannot do it?

Li Xinchuang also said: "Yes, Director Liu. We want to help you, but it is really not an easy task."

There was a hint of hesitation in Li Xinchuang's tone and a conflicted expression on his face.

Director Liu looked at the three of them and understood their difficulties.

But he still didn't want to give up this opportunity, and continued: "Three comrades, I know this is difficult. But as long as you try your best, if you can find some more prey, I hope you can take good care of our purchasing station."

Director Liu's tone was full of sincerity and his eyes were full of expectation.

Li Dahe pondered for a moment before saying, "Director Liu, if you say so, we will agree. But we cannot guarantee that we will get something. If we do get something, we will definitely send it to the purchasing station as soon as possible."

There was a hint of caution in Li Dahe's tone and determination in his eyes.

Director Liu felt a little relieved after hearing what Li Dahe said.

He could tell that Li Dahe was a cautious person. Since he said so, he would definitely try his best to do it.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you three comrades. If you need anything, feel free to come to me."

Director Liu's tone was full of gratitude and his face showed a gratified expression.

After coming out of the purchasing station director's office, Li Dahe and the other two felt a little heavy-hearted. Fortunately, they did not directly agree to Director Liu's request.

Li Dahe, Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang returned home from the purchasing station with a look of fatigue and helplessness on their faces.

Li Dahe sat down on the chair and couldn't help complaining, "Hey, you see, Director Liu from the purchasing station actually wants us to help him complete the task. It's already difficult for us to complete the task by ourselves, and we still have to help him. He also said that we can go to him anytime if we need anything. What can we need from him?"

Li Dahe's tone was full of dissatisfaction, his brows were furrowed, and his face showed an irritable expression.

Li Dahu was also muttering to himself: "That's right, the whole country is in a difficult situation right now, it's not that easy to complete the task. If he could complete the task so easily, he wouldn't come to us for help." Li Dahu's expression was also depressed, and he kept shaking his head.

Li Xinchuang also nodded, looking reluctant: "That's right, do you really think that prey is so easy to hunt? Anyway, we didn't agree to it, so there's no need to feel too much pressure."

At this time, Li Weiguo heard their conversation and took it to heart.

He looked at the three uncles and asked quickly, "Did Director Liu really say that? He said that if we need anything, we can go find him?"

There was a glimmer of excitement in Li Weiguo's eyes and his tone was a little anxious.

Li Dahe looked at Li Weiguo in confusion and asked, "Weiguo, what do you mean? You seem quite excited."

Li Dahe's face was full of confusion. He didn't understand why Li Weiguo had such a reaction.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Uncles, Director Liu has explained it so clearly. I'm afraid you still don't understand what he is saying."

There was a hint of mystery in Li Weiguo's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Li Dahu, Li Dahe and Li Xinchuang looked at each other, pondered for a while, and said nothing.

Didn’t Director Liu tell them to come to him if they needed anything?

What else did you say?

The three adults were stunned by what a young boy said.
