After waiting for a while, the cars in front drove into the yard one by one, and soon drove out again. The tarpaulins covering the carriages concealed the grain tightly. Except for the deep ruts on the ground, no outsiders would have thought that the things in these cars were grain.

Several dozen meters away, a few people were still looking around, perhaps out of curiosity at seeing so many cars here.

Captain Li couldn't go out and forcefully drive the people away, so he could only urge the soldiers who were moving the food to speed up.

When Xu Ge and his team came for the second time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. After being busy for so long, the sun had already set.

Finally, before it got completely dark, the last bag of food was loaded onto the truck.

Xu Ge knew that Captain Li would be busy later, so he was anxious to go back and didn't say anything. Captain Li, on the other hand, felt very embarrassed.

"Xu Tao, it's really too late today. I don't want to delay your return home. How about this? Tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow I will definitely go to your place to formally thank you!"

Xu Tao was flattered and waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, Captain Li..."

Captain Li patted Xu Tao on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Yes, Xiao Xu. We got so much food for free, but you didn't even say a formal thank you? The army is not so ungrateful..."

Xu Tao looked at Xu Ge and Xiang Chi helplessly, and finally said helplessly:

"Then Captain Li, let's go directly to the vegetable greenhouse the day after tomorrow."

"well."

Captain Li quickly agreed. When he heard Wu Qingyun calling him from outside, he waved to Xu Ge and Xu Tao.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, I'll be leaving first. See you the day after tomorrow!"

After saying that, he saluted again, then went out and got into the car.

Wu Qingyun came in again from outside the door.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Captain Li about the greenhouse and the man surnamed Chu when I get back."

Xu Ge nodded and urged him to get in the car and follow the main force back.

Wu Qingyun really had to hurry up and leave. With so much food, it must have caused a sensation in the officialdom. He had to go back and take care of the food. Otherwise, if all the people came rushing in, it would be hard to divide it.

I'm busy tonight.

After the troops and their vehicles had left, the noisy convoy compound suddenly fell silent.

A gust of wind blew by, Xiang Chi touched the goose bumps on his arm and urged:

"Wow, I'm a little uncomfortable with someone leaving so suddenly. Let's hurry back, it seems like the wind is picking up."

Xu Ge put his arm around Xiang Chi's shoulders.

"Well, it's time for us to go home."

Before Xu Ge could say anything else, he was interrupted by Xu Tao's voice behind him.

"I'm telling you two, you're already an old married couple but you're still so affectionate, help me pull down the shutter!"

Xiang Chi turned around and looked at Xu Tao who was struggling to open the garage shutter door behind him, and he burst out laughing.

"I'm coming……"

After pulling down the shutters of several garages, the three of them were sweating profusely. After locking the doors, Xu Ge drove the two of them home at full speed.

As soon as he got in the car, Xiang Chi entered the space. Xu Tao glanced at the empty back seat and continued talking to Xu Ge as if he was used to it.

"Why must the grain be handed over in my name? I feel so embarrassed when I think about a bunch of people coming to thank me the day after tomorrow..."

Xu Ge glanced at the embarrassed Xu Tao and laughed.

"It's too late to regret now."

Remembering again how Xu Tao was at a loss when faced with the constant praise from Captain Li and Captain Fang, Xu Ge laughed without giving him any face.

The reason why the grain was handed over in the name of Xu Tao was to facilitate their trade after the cities were connected.

Of course, Xu Ge and his men could hand it in themselves, but the effect would not be as good as Xu Tao's. Although the reality was cruel, it had to be said that with Xu Ge's current reputation, it was still too naive to expect the troops to take care of his convoy between cities.

It would be better to add more "chips" to Xu Tao himself. These 750 tons of grain are the first chip Xu Ge added.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi planned that after all the cities were connected, Xu Tao would reorganize the fleet and trade in Dancheng and several other surrounding cities with vegetables and fruits as the main commodities.

Although Dancheng is currently facing a shortage of vegetables, as far as Xu Ge knows, another original vegetable base in the south of the city has been rebuilt and will start to produce vegetables one after another. The pressure on vegetables in Dancheng will gradually decrease.

The areas around Dancheng, such as Wuyang and Shuoning, have always been heavy industrial cities with underdeveloped agricultural planting, which is a huge "blue ocean" market. The industrial products of those areas are also what Dancheng will need in the future. After a long period of calculation, Xu Ge believes that this plan has great potential.

Before, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge thought that having a vegetable greenhouse would provide a good life for themselves and their family, but the reality was that when they faced the powerful, the powerlessness and humiliation made them want to stand higher.

The vegetable greenhouse could not be handed over to others, so Xu Tao's team was another way out for them. After Xu Tao knew about Xu Ge and Xiang Chi's plan, he agreed almost immediately.

Neither he nor Han Dongdong are fools. Now that they have the opportunity to help Xu Ge and themselves at the same time, they will naturally grab it and not let go.

When they were almost at Biliu Community, Xiang Chi also finished taking a shower in the space. When he came out, he took out two bottles of happy water soaked in water droplets.

After driving the car into the yard, Xu Ge and Xu Tao each took a bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"Ah, cool!"

Xu Tao burped and turned around to see Han Dongdong holding Xu Xiaobao standing outside the car.

After getting off the car, Xu Tao took Xu Xiaobao in his arms and held him affectionately. He rubbed Xu Xiaobao's belly with his slightly stubbled chin, making Xu Xiaobao giggle non-stop.

Han Dongdong asked.

"How was it? Did it go well?"

Xiang Chi nodded and said with a smile:

"You don't know, Captain Li was so excited that he jumped up. And..."

Xiang Chi glanced at Xu Tao, who was concentrating on entertaining his daughter on the sofa, and covered his mouth and whispered in Han Dongdong's ear.

"When Captain Li heard Xu Tao say that all the food had been handed over, he looked at Xu Tao as if he were a saint. Your husband has even walked crookedly because of you."

Han Dongdong rolled on the sofa laughing as Xiang Chi described what happened.

After a long pause, he said breathlessly:

"Old Xu in our family is most afraid of others praising him or thanking him. That's called 'praise shame'...hahaha"

This made Xiang Chi laugh too. The two best friends laughed together on the sofa and it took them a while to stop laughing.

Han Dongdong still felt a little guilty.

"It's obviously your food, but we took the benefits..."
