"It's my sister-in-law. Come and sit down. Come and sit down."

Zhang Xingye quickly stood up and poured water for the two of them.

"Old squad leader, please stop busying yourself."

"Hey, you and your sister-in-law are here, I can't be without saliva." Zhang Xingye put the cup of water in front of the two of them, and then said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, you have a girlfriend in a blink of an eye."

Si Lu corrected him sternly, "It's the fiancée."

Isn’t this a lie? We’re not even engaged yet!

Jiang Yan glared at him secretly but said nothing, giving him face.

"You are blessed, so you have to treat others well!" Zhang Xingye is almost twenty years older than Si Lu and treats Si Lu like his own child.

"No one in this world can bully her, including myself."

Si Lu answered decisively, which made Zhang Xingye laugh heartily. He reached out and patted Si Lu several times, "You kid."

When he was in the company, I didn't see that he had the ability to make girls happy.

After all the talking and laughing, it’s time to get down to business.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Zhang Xingye looked as if he had seen through Si Lu a long time ago. "I'm busy. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

"I just came to see you. It's been a while since we last met." He pushed the things he brought in front of Zhang Xingye, "I bought you a bottle of wine, but I don't know if you will like it. After all, things are different now."

Zhang Xingye sneered, "Bullshit, you..."

He probably wanted to curse, so he glanced at Jiang Yan, cleared his throat awkwardly, and changed his words: "You don't come here for no reason, so please tell me what you have to say."

Are you still trying the same trick on him?

Jiang Yan guessed that he swallowed the words "fart soon".

"Well, I want you to help me find out if there is a water pump in the county machinery factory. I can use it."

"That's what I said, buy a water pump?"

Originally they wanted to borrow one, but then they thought that the fish pond would be expanded in the future, so it would be best for the team to have one of their own.

Jiang Yan will pay the money first, and then return it to her when the fish pond makes money in the future.

"Yeah!" Si Lu said nonchalantly, "The Shengli Brigade that Xiao Jiang went to work for wants to build a fish pond, so a water pump is essential."

It turned out that he was trying to please his wife.

"Wait, I'll call and ask."

Zhang Xingye picked up the phone, connected to the machinery factory, and went directly to their factory director.

Director Sun of the machinery factory was originally in a meeting. When he heard that Zhang Xingye called him, he suddenly became nervous. He didn't even attend the meeting and ran back to the office to answer the phone.

At the beginning of the year, there was a big case. After much investigation, it was found that the case was caused by an apprentice in the factory.

The county took it very seriously at the time, and it was said that even the city was alarmed, so Sun was really scared. Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm.

It was also at that time that he came into contact with Zhang Xingye and got to know the ruthless county bureau.

Could it be that some little bastard is causing trouble for him again this time?

Sun Changcun answered the phone tremblingly, and only felt relieved when he heard that the other party just wanted to buy a water pump and asked him about the price.

Since Director Zhang wants to buy it, the price is naturally negotiable.

"Is it for irrigation or industrial operation? Are there any requirements for the model and power?"

Zhang Xingye didn't understand these things, and he guessed that Jiang Yan probably didn't understand them either, so he just said, "It's a fish pond, used to pump water for irrigation of farmland."

Sun Changcun discussed with him and finally decided on a 15-horsepower diesel engine water pump.

Just this water pump costs more than 370 yuan. Add in accessories, hoses, expansion belts, and diesel, and the cost goes up to over 400 yuan.

Sun Changcun specially wrote a note and gave the lowest price, barely recovering the cost.

Zhang Xingye expressed his gratitude immediately and told him that he would send someone to pick it up the next day, and the matter would be done.

"Director Zhang, I want to thank you on behalf of the members of the Victory Brigade. Thank you so much." Jiang Yan thanked Zhang Xingye sincerely. Diesel water pumps are rare commodities, and if they buy them themselves, they can't get the price down at all.

"It's too polite to say that. We are not strangers. I will treat you to dinner tonight. You can come to my house and get to know me."

The head of a bureau is busy! While they were sitting there for a while, someone came and went at the door for several times. Probably because Zhang Xingye had guests, he did not come in, but just waited at the door.

Si Lu and Jiang Yan were not ignorant of tact, so they quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Zhang Xingye had to arrange accommodation for them and invite them to his home for meals.

"Old squad leader, we will be staying in the county for two or three days, so there is no need to rush about meals. We have already arranged a place to stay, so you don't have to worry about it. We will come to you after we finish our business tomorrow. As long as you have time, we will listen to your arrangements."

Si Lu had said so much, so Zhang Xingye naturally couldn't say anything else. He was indeed very busy, and he was afraid of being a light bulb and disturbing the couple's understanding.

He could see that Si Lu cared a lot about his fiancée.

"Okay, I'll take you there. Come to the bureau tomorrow after you finish your work, and we'll have dinner at my house tonight. That's it."

Si Lu shook his head helplessly. The old squad leader was still so domineering.

When they reached the door, Jiang Yan went out first and waited in the corridor.

Zhang Xingye shook hands with Si Lu and whispered, "Pay attention to discipline." The way this boy looked at the girl was not innocent at all, as if he was about to burn.

"Yes!" Si Lu subconsciously straightened his chest, saluted Zhang Xingye, and then strode away.

"Brat." Zhang Xingye returned to the office, saw the wine and snacks on the sofa, and shook his head with a smile.

Si Lu and Jiang Yan left the county bureau and went straight to the guesthouse.

Let’s decide where to live first, then we can think of other things.

"Aren't we going back right away?"

"Walk around the county town." Si Lu said as a matter of course: "The countryside is remote and it's not convenient to buy things. The weather will get cold soon. You should buy more warm things. And you have to settle down at home."

Jiang Yan swallowed the words "I have". If a man is willing to spend money on you, it means he has you in his heart.

If she refuses, Si Lu will probably be unhappy, right?

"But if you buy too much, it will be inconvenient to go back, right?"

"If it doesn't work, you can mail it back. It's not far, it will arrive in two or three days."

Jiang Yan nodded, "Okay! By the way, who is your squad leader? He wouldn't become the leader right after retiring from the army, that would be amazing."

"No!" Si Lu only said: "My old squad leader has a special identity. He joined the army when he was a teenager and worked behind enemy lines for a long time!"

Behind enemy lines? Then they are intelligence agents, right?

I really can't tell! Zhang Xingye looks like a rough guy, but I didn't expect that he is so delicate and can do this kind of work.

"Some of his past cannot be declassified yet, so he has been low-profile in the army until he reached the battalion level. The year I joined the army, he came down to lead the recruit company in order to select people."

It was he who chose Si Lu, which led to his joining Yexiao.

Jiang Yan nodded. So that's how it is. This makes sense.
