Chapter 142: Something Unexpected
Chapter 142: Something Unexpected
When I came to work early in the morning, Director Huang came to me.
"Baoshan, Baoshan..."
"Hehe... Director Huang, your health is getting better and better, but you have to lose weight. If you continue like this, you will really become a fat man."
"Huh...Huh...I, I don't want to do this. I don't know how it happened. Both me and cold water make me gain weight.
Let’s not talk about me, let’s talk about you.
The factory now has a mission to go to Shangdu County, Inner Mongolia. Brothers from Inner Mongolia have donated 3 cattle and sheep to our capital. We don’t need to take care of the cattle, as they need to be transported from above and delivered to various villages.
But we have 500 sheep, which Deputy Director Li had worked hard to get. "
"Heh...that's a lot." When Bai Baoshan heard that there were sheep, didn't he start to make plans?
"Director Huang, what's your idea now? Should we slaughter all 500 sheep directly when they come to the factory, or let them live? Or do the leaders above have any other arrangements?"
"Of course they have to be alive. Let me tell you, see if you can get these sheep to reproduce."
"Leader, this is no problem, but you have to come forward. Then we can enclose a valley on the mountain behind us. Not to mention 500 sheep, even 5 will be no problem." Bai Baoshan has his own plan.
“Come back and talk about it later.
Now there is a problem. You know the new head of the security department, Fang Yunjie."
"As long as he is asked to escort it back, it will be fine."
Director Huang shook his head. "What are you thinking about? What is this? It's a credit."
"Isn't this person Director Li? Every time we meet, he is very respectful to Deputy Director Li."
"This guy is like this, respectful to everyone."
"Tsk, tsk, does that mean this person doesn't want to join any side?"
"The factory director wants you to go. Now is the production period and no one else can leave. If you go, it will be a good opportunity for you to gain some experience and qualifications. The secretary also means this.
The location is Shangdu County, Inner Mongolia. The journey takes four days. You don’t have to worry about anything, just follow and watch. When the goods come back, you will be the first to do it.”
"Four days." Bai Baoshan began to hesitate, mainly because Qiao Yun had never been alone at home, and he didn't know if he could take her with him. But it wasn't spring or autumn anymore, and going would be torture.
The current road is not so easy to travel. You need to pass through the mountainous area northwest of Changping to enter Zhangjiakou, and then cross Zhangjiakou to enter Inner Mongolia and reach Shangdu County.
The whole journey is 300 kilometers and it takes a whole day on the road.
The roads at that time were not like those in later times. You could speed up to 200 on the road, but the roads outside Changping were rugged mountain roads, and there might be robbers. If you were pulling something else, no one might give you the road. But if you were pulling sheep, or 500 of them, Bai Baoshan knew with his ass that some people would definitely be restless.
Not to mention those vicious people, even Bai Baoshan himself, when he heard the news that someone had hundreds of sheep passing by that mountain path, wanted to rob them.
"Okay, leader, when are we leaving?"
"It's not decided yet. Just agree to it. You can prepare first. I'll go talk to the factory manager now."
When Director Huang saw that Bai Baoshan agreed, he was obviously very happy and trotted away again.
We have to find a place for Qiao Yun to eat.
Also, would the people in the hospital have any bad thoughts if they knew that I had been away from home for five days?
Thinking of this, Bai Baoshan felt the urge to clean up the compound.
But there shouldn't be any big problem now. Jia Zhang is not here, and Bang Geng is not here either, so there shouldn't be anyone who is blind.
As for the issue of going to Inner Mongolia, I only have a Type 54 rifle and 120 rounds of bullets in my hand.
We have to ask the security department to get some.
We need to get some other weapons this time as well.
A 54-shot is not safe, how about a 20-shot?
This is not bad either. With its own control, this thing can definitely hit whatever you point it at within 50 meters. The most important thing is the 20 bullets.
But the 54 hand can also fire continuously in my own hands.
It's so hard to let go.
As for long-range combat, it is not as good as Type 56 charge.
Now is not the time to think about this.
Bai Baoshan took his notebook and started a new day's inspection.
There was no braised pork for lunch today, only cabbage fried with oil, potatoes, radishes, and spicy stir-fried dried beans.
There were no other dishes at all.
In many families, this is a big meal.
Rice is still the staple food today.
There is a scale on the side.
No matter how much, each person has about 1 jin of rice, which means no one has more than 8 liang of raw rice. The control is 7 liang per person, but it cannot be controlled so accurately.
The calculation is based on the formula of 1 jin of raw rice to cook 2.5 jin of rice.
A big box full of rice and a box full of vegetables, who wouldn’t be happy? Although many people are not used to eating rice, it’s good to have something to eat. Why do you still want to eat Sanhe noodles?
What's more, Bai Baoshan, who had been eating rice for several days, even wanted to eat Sanhe steamed buns.
Because rice is not filling, you will feel full after eating it, but after a while, you will feel hungry.
As I said, it’s good to have something to eat.
Didn’t you see that we’ve tried our best to make meat dishes?
Bai Baoshan naturally knew about the workers' emotions, and even the leaders above knew about it.
Just hold on a little longer, and in May, when the wheat is harvested, everyone can enjoy a delicious meal of white steamed buns.
Bai Baoshan had made up his mind to plant peanuts and soybeans in the fall. No matter what, when winter came, he would definitely use a lot of oil every time he cooked.
After being given a ticket and a meal, I followed the workers out of the steel mill.
I picked up Qiao Yun and arrived home.
"Brother, we have been notified that we will have a holiday on Laba Festival. As for when school will start again, we don't know yet." Qiao Yun said while taking a mouthful of rice.
"Do you need anything? I'll buy it for you when the time comes."
"Hehe, there is no shortage."
"Girl, I have something to tell you.
The factory has a task for me to go to Inner Mongolia to bring back 500 sheep. I guess they are prepared for the New Year. No matter what we look like, they are all meat.
This time I will be gone for 4 days and will be back in 5 days at most.
If you are alone at home, take care of yourself, and when you want to go out, just lock the door.
If you're not going out, just lock the door and ignore anyone who comes.
I will be back soon."
After Bai Baoshan finished speaking, he saw Qiao Yun's eyes were filled with tears.
He pulled her over, put her on his lap, and wiped her with a handkerchief.
"Don't cry, brother will be back soon."
"Brother, can you not go?"
"No, this is a mission. I am the director now. If I don't have any merits and hard work, I will never be able to hold my position. Do you understand?
There is a saying that goes, "One's virtue does not match his position. After I come back this time, no one will dare to say bad things about me behind my back."
"Is that so, suck...Brother, you go ahead, I'm fine, I have everything at home, I cook for myself, go to school by myself, and go home after school by myself, I used to be like this too.
Brother, don't worry, I'm at home, everything will be fine."
"Of course I believe that my Qiao Yun is the best. Stop crying and eat."
"Uh-huh……"
Watching Qiao Yun eating, although she looked like nothing had happened, she still looked a little uneasy.
......................................................
Brothers, the mid-year physical examination is coming soon, and Feiji needs to get back in shape. There will be a lot of updates, but they will be a bit slow, so don't worry.
