1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Finally, at the insistence of grandma, sister Li Weihong stayed in Lijia Village, and they took a donkey cart back to Sijiucheng.

Along the way, my second uncle rode his bicycle closely following the donkey cart.

His back was very straight, and his rosy face was grinning almost to his ears.

Although the bicycle my second uncle was riding was an old one that had been passed down from person to person, many passers-by still looked at him with envy.

When they arrived outside the steel mill, it was already time to go to work, and the workers were walking into the factory in groups of three or four, chatting.

The donkey cart stopped steadily, and Li Weiguo and others got off the cart.

The road was bumpy and it was quite painful to ride in the donkey cart, especially because the shaking made my butt hurt.

Li Weiguo looked at his two younger brothers rubbing their butts and grinning, and laughed along with the adults.

Li Xinchuang and Li Dahe worked together to unload the bamboo baskets from the car.

"Brother Dajiang, I'm going back now. Don't worry, if Xiaohong gets bored staying in the village, I'll catch the car and take her back!"

"Xin Chuang, thank you for your help. Please drive slowly!"

Li Xinchuang turned the car around, waved to them, and then drove away waving his whip.

Wang Guifang gave her sons a few instructions and went to work first.

Li Dajiang and his group looked at the wild boar meat and waited for his second uncle to report to the purchasing department, and then waited to sell the wild boar meat before going back.

When colleagues from the Security Department saw Li Dajiang standing at the gate, someone had already notified Section Chief Ma.

"Dajiang, did Weiguo catch prey again today?"

Ma Haitao walked out of the factory excitedly with a smug smile on his face.

"Chief, we went back to our hometown yesterday. Weiguo and Dahe went to the mountains to hunt two wild boars and some pheasants and rabbits. We just came back from our hometown too!"

When Li Dajiang heard the voice, he knew it was Section Chief Ma, so he came forward to greet him.

"Great, great! It's only been a few days and you've already caught prey again! You've really solved a big problem for our steel mill. Dahe really came to our factory!"

Nowadays, everyone knows that food is hard to get. The fact that Li Dahe and his nephew were able to catch prey one after another can only be attributed to their luck and ability.

Section Chief Ma couldn't help but look at Li Weiguo. If he guessed correctly, this guy was really capable.

"Dalin, quickly move a stool over so Dajiang can sit and wait!"

"Yeah! Got it, Chief!"

Coincidentally, whenever Li Weiguo came to the steel rolling mill to sell prey, this man was on duty every time.

The man moved quickly and brought over a stool in no time.

"Brother Li, please sit down quickly, you are so tired from standing!"

"Hey! Sorry for the trouble, Dalin!"

Li Dajiang is never polite to the people in the security department. They have worked together for many years and everyone knows who is good at what.

"Brother Li...that..."

Dalin brought a stool over and didn't leave. He stood beside Li Dajiang, looking shy and as if he had something to say.

"Dalin, what's wrong with you? Just say whatever you want to say! Dajiang is not an outsider!"

Dalin looked at Section Chief Ma and hesitantly said, "Section Chief... everyone wants me to ask if we can spare some wild boar meat. We haven't eaten meat in half a year."

"This……"

As for other things, Ma Haitao can definitely make the decision, but the matter of wild boar meat is really hard to say.

He turned to look at Li Dajiang: "Dajiang, this matter depends on your opinion. It's hard to deal with anything meaty now. They are not deliberately making things difficult for you. Just say what you think. Don't worry, they will definitely not make things difficult for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dajiang stood up immediately and said, "This sounds too foreign. You don't treat me as a brother! It's just wild boar meat, isn't it? Weiguo, take out all the remaining meat from the little wild boar. I remember there are still more than 20 kilograms!"

"Yeah! Got it!"

Excluding the head, trotters and internal organs, there were only about 70 kilograms of meat left on the little wild boar.

Every household in the village received one pound of the food, and some was given to relatives, so in the end only about twenty pounds were left.

"More than 20 kilograms of wild boar meat, do you think it's enough? If not, leave some for the factory. At least let your brothers have some meat at home today!"

Dalin smiled happily upon hearing this. He said excitedly, "That's enough, Brother Li. This is enough. We can't care about other people now. It's their luck if they meet this. If they don't, they can't blame others!"

He took the wild boar meat handed to him by Li Weiguo and happily rushed back to the duty room. Everyone went to find someone to divide the meat!

"You little bastards, leave some for me too!"

Ma Haitao looked at Dalin who was running back in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting.

As the section chief, he must go back to take charge of the overall situation. Li Dajiang treats them as brothers, and they cannot let Li Dajiang suffer any loss!

There was jubilation in the Security Department's duty room at this moment. If Ma Haitao had not gone in in time, several duty personnel would have fought over a pound of pork.

"Alright! Keep your voices down, do you want everyone in the factory to know that you are dividing the meat?"

Several people quieted down after being scolded by Ma Haitao, but the excitement on their faces did not diminish at all.

"You little brats, you must be so happy, right? You are lucky to have met Dajiang today. Let me tell you this first. No matter how much pork costs per pound, you must not let him suffer any loss. Do you hear me?"

"I heard!"

Several people responded loudly with joy.

In the end, it was Ma Haitao who distributed the meat. The four people on duty at the gate and all the security staff in the office each received two kilograms of meat.

In order to prevent Li Dajiang from suffering a loss, Ma Haitao raised the price of pork to RMB 1.5 per catty.

Although the price is really high, it is a blessing to be able to sell meat these days, so they gritted their teeth and sold the meat.

Finally, when Ma Haitao handed the thirty-six yuan to Li Dajiang, Li Dajiang was stunned at first, then he took it, counted out twelve yuan from it and handed it back.

"Chief, this is too much. If you treat me as a brother, take the twelve dollars back. Otherwise, take all the meat back and let my family eat it!"

"You wish. The things are already in our hands. There's no way you can take them back!"

After saying that, he snatched the money from Li Dajiang's hand and started chatting with a smile on his face.

He knew that Li Dajiang would not charge too much money, but Li Dajiang could refuse it, but he had to show sincerity, which was what good brothers should do.

Li Dahe waited stupidly in the purchasing department's office for a long time. He looked like a camel lost in the desert. He waited and waited, but didn't see a single shadow of anyone.

He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.

He could no longer bear it, so he stood up and rushed to the cafeteria, intending to ask his sister-in-law Wang Guifang what was going on.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Li Dahe saw He Yuzhu sitting in the kitchen drinking water happily. He looked so leisurely, as if he had no worries in the world.

He Yuzhu saw Li Dahe rushing in like a gust of wind, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Hey, Dahe, what's the matter with you being in such a hurry?"
