The Great Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 153: If I can’t get a pig, I’ll get a barrel of oil first

When Li Wenqiang woke up, it was almost noon. Today's process naturally could not be the same as usual, collecting money in the morning and spending money in the afternoon.

After working for nearly two hours, lunch was ready. Liu Yuhua, who had been tired all night, finally woke up from her deep sleep when she smelled the aroma of meat filling the room.

Looking at the busy Li Wenqiang, his mind appeared again with his strong body galloping, the soft light in his eyes flowing like spring water, and he couldn't help but frowning when he moved slightly. This bad guy is really like a bull, not afraid of hurting himself.

"Wake up, don't go out today, just work at home. I'll go out after dinner and come to accompany you later!"

Li Wenqiang smiled and placed a plate of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts on the table. The tempting aroma of the meat made people drool.

Although Liu Lihua has been married for almost ten days, the last time she ate meat was a week ago. When she smelled the aroma, she couldn't help but drool.

"I can't move even if I want to! I feel like my whole body is falling apart!"

Liu Lihua looked at him pitifully. This guy was too troublesome. He did this every day and someone might get killed. She was a little scared.

When Li Wenqiang heard this, he blamed himself for being too impulsive. He should be more careful in the future, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Wait, I'll bring some water for you to wash up."

Li Wenqiang took the initiative to prepare toiletries for her.

Looking at his busy back, Liu Lihua felt that all the suffering she had suffered was worth it. What could make a woman more proud than marrying the right man? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

Riding a motorcycle, he arrived at the Beimo Factory in less than ten minutes. After collecting the payment for the goods, Li Wenqiang asked about the livestock cubs.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Wen Qiang. The commune said that they have livestock cubs, but according to organizational regulations, they cannot provide them to us. I'm really sorry!"

Liu Qinghua said with some apology.

"It's okay, I'll think of other ways, then I won't disturb you from working, I'll leave first!"

Li Wenqiang smiled, greeted politely and left.

When he got out, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. The Beimo factory produced tricycles. The current factories and people's communes, including the production brigades below, all of them should give him some face. Saying that he couldn't get it, it was really a lie! Most of the time, he didn't take his business seriously, thinking that he was just a speculator and a vegetable vendor.

Li Wenqiang was not dissatisfied. After all, he was just asking for help from others. Even if he was not there, they would just eat worse and would not starve to death. Naturally, they would not worry too much about him.

Being able to help him is a favor, and not helping him is his duty. He naturally won't blame others for this, but he just feels a little disappointed.

After going downstairs, Li Wenqiang drove his car directly to the transport team, and drove the motorcycle to the logistics refueling area with ease.

"Brother Jiang, fill it up!"

After saying that, he threw a cigarette over, and a greasy man hurriedly caught the cigarette.

"Da Qianmen, great stuff!"

By refueling here every day, Li Wenqiang has become familiar with the people here. This man named Jiang Quan is one of the car mechanics in the logistics department. He is usually responsible for refueling and maintenance, and occasionally works part-time as a deliveryman.

"Brother Jiang, there is a pumpkin in the car that I left for you. Take it down later and share it with the brothers here. I plan to go to the countryside in a few days. Can you find an oil barrel to help me fill it with more oil?"

Looking at Jiang Quan adding oil with a funnel, Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

Jiang Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this. They knew exactly what the pumpkin provided by Li Wenqiang was like. It was sweet and soft, and was top-notch whether eaten with rice or in soup.

Many people are reluctant to eat it all, and always leave half to take home. The nutrients in pumpkin are very nourishing, and whether it is the elderly or children, the swelling of the body can be quickly reduced.

Originally, everyone in the factory was more or less swollen and malnourished due to hunger, but recently everyone's spirits have recovered a lot. Although they are still a little weak, that is due to hunger.

"How can I say this? How much do you want? I have a barrel here. I'll load it for you. If this barrel of oil wasn't too heavy for me to carry, I would have just carried it up to your truck!"

Jiang Quan smiled, patted the gasoline barrel next to him that was more than one meter high and said, looking at the capacity of that barrel, it must be at least two hundred liters.

"Will this missing barrel not cause you any trouble?"

Li Wenqiang became excited after hearing this. If he could get such a big barrel of oil, he wouldn't have to come here for at least one or two months.

But of course he wouldn't be so stupid. He would take advantage of such a good deal. Not only would he have to run, but he would have to run more. Otherwise, where would he get gasoline in the future? Would he have to ask the street office for a letter of introduction? Forget it. They won't even bother you!

"How can this be a problem? Here, I can easily decide how much to use. It's not a big deal. If you really want a bucket, I can find someone to help you carry it up. But you have to be careful about how you unload it. This bucket of oil weighs at least 300 kilograms! It would be bad if it hits someone by accident."

Jiang Quan reminded him.

"It's okay, I'll do it. Brother Jiang, take the things out of the car first, and I'll move this!"

Li Wenqiang said happily.

"You do it yourself? You are so delicate and tender, can you do it? This is not a joke!"

Seeing how happy he was, Jiang Quan said worriedly, "This guy should not hurt himself, otherwise who will deliver food to them?"

"It's okay, I'll try, if it doesn't work you can give me a hand!"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"Well, if you can't do it, put it down quickly and don't hurt yourself!"

Jiang Quan reminded him and then ignored him. He walked to the back of the truck and prepared to take down the pumpkin that Li Wenqiang mentioned.

In his opinion, with Li Wenqiang's physique, he could barely shake the oil drum, and lifting it was just a dream. The young man was just concerned about his reputation.

When he saw a big pumpkin weighing forty or fifty kilograms on the car, a smile appeared on his face.

A barrel of oil for a pumpkin, it seems like a loss, but in fact everyone wins. He and his colleagues harvested food, and Li Wenqiang got gasoline.

As for the factory, the leaders have said that the factory should be treated as one's own home. Isn't it normal to exchange things from home for food?

"Brother Jiang, make way!"

Just as he lifted the pumpkin, Li Wenqiang's voice rang out from behind him. Jiang Quan looked back while holding the pumpkin, and saw Li Wenqiang holding both sides of the oil barrel with both hands, lifting the barrel up like a washbasin, looking relaxed and comfortable, as if he still had some strength to spare.

Jiang Quan quickly took the melon away to make room for Li Wenqiang.

As the truck bed sank heavily, Jiang Quan realized that what Li Wenqiang was moving was not an empty oil barrel, but a real barrel full of oil. Together with the weight of the iron sheet itself, it weighed at least 300 kilograms. He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Brother Jiang, thank you! I have something to do so I will leave first!"

With the sound of a motorcycle rumbling, Li Wenqiang had already driven the car towards the door.

"Fuck!"

Looking at his departing back, Jiang Quan couldn't help but utter two words.
