Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Regarding the issue of donating clothes, the workers in the factory had different attitudes. Some responded positively and expressed their support, but others felt resentful.

However, no matter what, no one dared to refuse to donate, because this was a task assigned by the factory, and failure to complete it might affect the evaluation of individuals, work teams, or even the entire workshop.

If you want to get advanced status by the end of the year, you can't miss any activities. This is the reality.

Li Bowen ignored the various voices. He returned to the office with a smile on his face and reported the purchase of cloth to Li Huaide.

After listening to his report, Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Very good, Bowen, this is a great job. The food I contacted will be delivered tomorrow. You go back and prepare well, take care of your family affairs, and try to set off smoothly the day after tomorrow!"

After Li Bowen nodded in agreement, he left Li Huaide's office and found Lin Dong, Fox and others, informing them of the specific time of the business trip, and urged them to go home as soon as possible to pack their luggage and gather at the factory on the morning of the third day.

As for the loading and guarding of materials, it will be the responsibility of the warehouse loading and unloading team and the security department personnel, so they don't need to worry about it.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day. At this time, more than 30 people, including those from the purchasing department, security department, and driver team, gathered in the parking lot.

Ten trucks were lined up neatly in a row, and the front of the trucks were divided into three teams. At the front of the team stood Director Yang and Li Huaide, who were giving the final mobilization to everyone.

"Comrades, this mission to support the brother units in Inner Mongolia is very important, and Chief Li Bowen will be in charge. You must follow Chief Li's arrangements and fully cooperate with his work to ensure that this batch of materials arrives safely at its destination.

These supplies are vital to the brothers on the grassland, so we must be extra careful on the road, remain highly vigilant, and never make any mistakes.

If you encounter special circumstances, you are allowed to fight back, but you must report to your superiors first. Do you understand?"

"I heard it clearly!" everyone answered in unison.

After Director Yang finished speaking, Li Huaide stepped forward and continued, "This business trip will be long and the mission is arduous. After discussing with Director Yang, we decided to give everyone a subsidy of one yuan per day, and at the same time raise the meal standard to the cadre level. The food coupons and other things have been handed over to Section Chief Li, and he will arrange everything for everyone.

I hope everyone can complete this mission with full enthusiasm and sense of responsibility. Finally, I would like to emphasize that personal safety is the first priority. No matter what situation you encounter, protecting yourself is the most important thing! Let’s go!”

The team disbanded and began to board their assigned vehicles.

Basically, every vehicle is equipped with a driver, a buyer, and a security guard. In some vehicles, the driver will bring his apprentice to increase their practical experience.

Everyone was equipped with long and short firearms, and Li Bowen was no exception. Although he had the skill of throwing knives, he still carried a pistol and a hundred or so bullets.

The reason is simple. The vehicle was loaded with all kinds of daily necessities, which may arouse the greed of some people.

In contrast, the last time the trucks were carrying mostly steel bars, cement and other construction materials, so even if they were robbed, they would have nowhere to sell them. But this time it was different, if they succeeded in robbing this batch of goods, it would be a windfall, so everyone had to be highly vigilant.

Li Bowen sat in the lead car and waved goodbye to the crowd outside. As the convoy slowly started, it drove away from the factory gate.

The driver's surname is Zhang. He is the team leader of this driver team. He is about fifty years old, tall and strong, with a broad square face, a pair of big eyes under thick eyebrows, and a circle of beard on his chin. From his appearance, it can be seen that he must have been a handsome young man when he was young.

He was accompanied by a young man who was about 18 or 9 years old. The young man had a handsome face and his facial features were somewhat similar to those of a middle-aged man.

"Master Zhang, you've worked so hard on this trip!" After reaching the main road, Li Bowen enthusiastically handed over a cigarette, and then placed the whole pack of cigarettes on the dashboard.

Master Zhang smiled and took the cigarette, then put it in his mouth skillfully, lit it with a kerosene lighter, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a long puff of smoke. "It's not hard, this is my job. And I also want to thank you, Chief Li, for making me earn a lot of extra money this time."

"Haha, we are all here for work. By the way, is this your son? I think he looks really like you!" Li Bowen asked curiously.

A hint of pride flashed in Master Zhang's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Good eyesight. This is my son, Zhang Wei. He has just been working for a year and is now learning to drive with me." After saying that, Master Zhang gave Li Bowen a thumbs up.

"How many children do you have in your family?" Li Bowen continued to ask.

“There are only two. The eldest is a daughter and she is already working,” Master Zhang replied.

"Wow, then you are so lucky. Your children have grown up and you can enjoy a peaceful life from now on!" Li Bowen responded with a smile.

"Hahaha, of course! When they get married, his mother and I won't have to worry so much! Chief Li, if you know any good girls, please introduce them to my son!"

Hearing this, Li Bowen looked at Zhang Wei and responded with a smile: "That's no problem, Zhang Wei, what kind do you like? I'll pick and find it for you!"

Zhang Wei scratched his head, a shy blush appeared on his face, and he said softly: "I don't know what kind I like! Anyway, it's just good-looking!" After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly.

When Lao Zhang heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he couldn't help but say, "You bastard, good looks can't make a living, you should find someone who is capable!"

Li Bowen laughed loudly. He patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and consoled him, "What man doesn't like good-looking things? Don't worry, I will keep an eye out for you when I get back!"

Zhang Wei quickly replied gratefully: "Thank you, Chief Li!" There was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.

Li Bowen simply waved his hand and said enthusiastically: "Why call me Section Chief? We are not much different in age, so just call me Brother Li from now on! This way it seems more intimate!"

Zhang Wei nodded without hesitation and responded, "Then I won't be polite. Brother Li, please take care of my younger brother in the future."

Li Bowen patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder again and encouraged him, "No problem, don't worry!"

"Brother Li, the guys in our team went to Inner Mongolia with you last time. After they came back, they kept bragging about how they could eat meat every day. Is that true? We are so greedy!" Zhang Wei asked Li Bowen expectantly.
