The Great Era of Siheyuan

After walking out of the door and looking at the things in the car, Li Wenqiang was a little confused. Should he take it back or give it to someone else? After thinking about it, he decided to just give it to the girl just now. Maybe he could get to know her. If someone can live here, his family must be an official.

He did what he thought. He started the car and parked it in front of Zhu Ling's house. Li Wenqiang got out of the car and took out a large sack from the back. He put it directly in front of her door and knocked.

"Who?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Wenqiang smiled, climbed into the car and left.

After Zhu Ling opened the door, she only saw a large sack and the back of a tricycle on the ground. She hurriedly chased after it and shouted.

"Hey! What do you mean?"

Hearing the sound, Li Wenqiang stopped the car, stuck his head out of the window and smiled.

"This is for you. Thank you for showing me the way! Bye, see you again if we are lucky enough!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and the motorcycle ran away with a rumbling sound, raising a trail of dust.

"Hey~ Don't leave, take the things away, I don't want them!"

Zhu Ling looked at the back of the motorcycle going away and stamped her feet in anger. She returned to the door of her house helplessly and looked at the big sack. She wondered why this person was so strange and suddenly sent a big sack to her.

Zhu Ling carefully untied the sack and looked inside. She was almost frightened when she saw that the sack was filled with all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

There was a pile of bundled beans and cabbages, as well as some cucumbers, peppers and eggplants. Looking inside, there was a 20-pound watermelon and a 5-6-pound Hami melon underneath, with some pink grapes on top.

She didn't think the vegetables were anything special, but the watermelons, cantaloupes and grapes puzzled her and she muttered to herself.

“Are there grapes and cantaloupes in April?”

She could understand watermelon, as it would be on the market at the end of the month. The other two items would have to be on the market in June or July at the latest, right?

"Lingling, what's wrong? Who came just now?"

Suddenly, a beautiful middle-aged woman came from behind. Although the years had left traces on her face, her beauty had not diminished at all. When she stood with Zhu Ling, others could only exclaim, "What a pair of sisters."

"mom!"

Zhu Ling, awakened by the sound, hurriedly looked back.

"What's wrong? You don't even answer my question. Who put this bag here?"

The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at her distracted daughter and asked curiously.

"It was a buyer named Li Wenqiang from the Red Star Steel Mill who put it there. He said he wanted to thank me for showing him the way, so he left the bag and walked away!"

Zhu Ling told him everything that had just happened.

"Purchaser? Male or female?"

The beautiful woman asked curiously.

"male!"

Zhu Ling answered without hesitation.

"A man gave you so many things to thank you for showing him the way? Could it be that he has some feelings for you?"

The beautiful woman said jokingly.

"Mom, I won't pay attention to you if you do this again!"

Zhu Ling turned her head away shyly.

"From the look of you, I think you're interested in him! But his identity is unknown. How could a buyer get so many things? He even gave you fruit as a gift. There must be something fishy going on. Wait until your dad comes back and talk to him. We'll move the things in first. If it doesn't work out, you can give him some money and receipts. The things will be considered as our purchases, so it won't be considered bribery."

The beautiful woman's face straightened and she spoke slowly.

"Ok!"

Zhu Ling naturally understood this logic. Giving her so many things for no reason might be a motive on her part. Maybe he wanted to bribe her father to get in through the back door.

Li Wenqiang came to the tavern humming a little tune, entered through the back door and went straight into Xu Huizhen's room.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ling and her mother moved the large sacks into the house. Zhu Ling's mother carefully examined the fruits and vegetables, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Lingling, you said that Li Wenqiang is a buyer for the Red Star Steel Mill. Where did he get these things? These fruits shouldn't be there in this season."

The mother said with a frown.

Zhu Ling was also a little confused.

"Yeah, I felt weird just now too, Mom, what should we do?"

"Let's wait until your dad comes back and put your things away first."

The mother decided.

In the evening, Zhu Ling's father Zhu Guoqiang returned home, and Zhu Ling and her daughter told him everything that had happened that day.

After hearing this, Zhu Guoqiang pondered for a moment.

"Since this Li Wenqiang is the purchaser of the steel mill, I will go and ask Li Huaide to see if there is such a person in his factory. Tomorrow you can go to the factory to find him, return the things to him, and ask about the origins of these things. We can't just accept unclear things to avoid getting into trouble."

Zhu Guoqiang said seriously.

"Oh, I see!"

At this point, Zhu Ling pouted somewhat unhappily.

Although it is true that her family is a high-ranking official's family, leaders now have to take the lead, and their life is not as good as others think, and it is also very tight.

There were so many dishes and fruits that made her drool. It was really annoying to see them but not eat them. But she also knew that she couldn't touch these things until she understood them clearly, so she didn't say anything.

After Zhu Guoqiang finished speaking, he walked out and knocked on the door of Li Dehuai's house next door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"

As soon as the door was knocked, a lioness' roar came from inside. The rough and loud voice was unusually clear in the silent night.

"It's me, Zhu Guoqiang!"

Zhu Guoqiang frowned at the door. This woman was really rude. As the saying goes, a guest is a guest. She was so rude and impolite to others before she even knew what was going on. If he didn't have something to ask, he wouldn't even bother to come to her house.

"Oh, it's Section Chief Zhu. What are you doing here?"

Li Huaide's wife Ma Chunyan looked at Zhu Guoqiang and asked curiously. Although Zhu Guoqiang was the section chief of a certain bureau, her old man was not bad and was not afraid at all.

"Hello, I want to ask Director Li something. I wonder if he's back yet?"

Although Zhu Guoqiang didn't like Ma Chunyan in his heart, he still asked politely.

"Here, come in!"

After saying this, Ma Chunyan made way and let Zhu Guoqiang in.

"Who's here? Oh, isn't this Section Chief Zhu? Nice to meet you, it's really rare. How come you have time to come to my house today? Come in and sit down, I'll go get some tea!"

Li Huaide came out after hearing the noise and happened to see Zhu Guoqiang. Although the two families were neighbors, they didn't have much contact with each other. Usually, they kept to themselves. I don't know why he came to my house today.

"No need to drink tea, I just want to ask you about someone. I wonder if there is a buyer named Li Wenqiang in your factory."

Zhu Guoqiang directly rejected his invitation and asked bluntly.

"Li Wenqiang, there is such a person, but did he do anything?"

Li Huaide frowned and asked, if something happened to Li Wenqiang, then he would lose his income of several thousand yuan a day.

"Today he passed by my house and asked for directions, then dropped a bag at my door, saying he was thanking my daughter for showing him the way. I want to find out what happened."

Zhu Guoqiang didn't think about it and just spoke directly.

When Li Huaide heard this and realized what was going on, his heart immediately calmed down.

"So that's how it is. You don't have to worry about this, Chief Zhu. He should have sent some food to your home. This is a problem for him. Li Wenqiang is a very outstanding comrade in our steel mill. You can rest assured to accept the things he sent to you. Now the thousands of mouths in our steel mill are counting on him every day!"

Li Huaide said with a smile, although he didn't know for what purpose Li Wenqiang gave Chief Zhu a gift, he guessed that it might be the people behind him who wanted to get in touch with the leader in front of him, and he also praised him in his words.

But what he said was not wrong. Now the steel mill had to feed thousands of mouths, otherwise they would really go hungry. Recently, thanks to Li Wenqiang's food supply, the workers' health was getting better and better, and their mental state and strength were slowly recovering.

"Really? So awesome? But that won't do. How can someone accept so many things from someone without saying anything? When you go there tomorrow, can you please bring the things to him for me?"

Zhu Guoqiang didn't expect Li Wenqiang to be so capable that he could supply food for thousands of people. The whole country is short of food now, where does he get this food? Thinking of this, he was even more afraid to ask for it.

"Hey, leader, just accept it. He has given it to so many people in our steel mill, so it doesn't matter if you give it a little bit, right?"

Li Huaide advised with a smile.

"That won't work either. Now we are developing the economy and ensuring supply. As leaders, we must set an example. How can we take advantage of the people?"

Zhu Guoqiang shook his head and said.

"How about this, you take the stuff, and I'll give him some money later, and it'll be considered as your purchase, okay?"

Li Huaide smiled and offered a compromise.

Zhu Guoqiang wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered the expectant expressions of his family members just now, and he couldn't say no. It's just right to let his daughter go and test the waters tomorrow to see what kind of person he is.

"It's really inconvenient to take the things back, so I'll convert it into the market price and give it to him. I'll pay for the bills. Tomorrow I'll ask my daughter to go to your factory to find him and give it to him in person. Now that the matter is clear, I won't disturb your rest. I'm leaving first!"

Zhu Guoqiang left after he finished speaking without any hesitation.

"Why did he leave? I've already made tea, but you didn't invite him in to sit for a while?"

Ma Chunyan said unhappily with two cups of tea in her hands, isn't this just a waste of her time?

"What can I do if he doesn't come in? Leave, I'll close the door and go to bed early, because I have a meeting tomorrow!"

After saying this, Li Huaide locked the door and turned to walk into the house.

When Ma Chunyan heard this, she smiled, poured the tea in the cup and said with a smile.

"It just so happens that a young man brought some medicinal wine today. I'll open a bottle for you to rinse your mouth, and then drink it and you'll have a good sleep!"

Ma Chunyan showed a charming smile after saying this.

After hearing this, Li Huaide trembled all over and his face suddenly turned pale.

He shouldn't have brought this wine home. Someone told his wife about it, and she asked for a hundred bottles at once. Now he's going to die.

Zhu Guoqiang returned home and looked at his wife and daughter who were busy at home, and told them what happened directly.

"It just so happens that we don't have much to eat for dinner. I think these dishes are good. I'll stir-fry one and add some vegetables to it, so they won't go bad tomorrow!"

After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she took some eggplants and beans into the kitchen. She was afraid that they might go bad or be fake, and she mainly wanted to give some to her family to nourish their bodies.

After a long period of frugality, the family members are obviously malnourished, which is not good.

"Dad, you said we can just give him some money tomorrow, right? Then we can eat all this?"

Zhu Ling asked expectantly.

"You can't eat all of this. Keep two bunches of grapes. I'll send the rest to your grandparents and your old boss later."

Zhu Guoqiang said casually.

"Oh~ Then I'll go get the bag and pack it first, and you can take it away directly after dinner!"

After Zhu Ling finished speaking, she started looking for the bag.

Zhu Guoqiang didn't care and waited for her to come over to divide the things and gave her instructions.

"There's something wrong with this Li Wenqiang. When you meet him tomorrow, ask him where his stuff came from and ask about his situation. This guy might have a big problem. You're a girl, so maybe you can get some information out of him."

Zhu Guoqiang said very seriously that he couldn't even imagine how high the status of the big tiger behind a purchaser who could supply thousands of people with food every day was. This was a serious violation of the unified purchase and sale and speculation, and it must be severely cracked down.

Zhu Ling, who was packing, stopped what she was doing and said in disbelief when she heard this.

"No way? I think he's a nice guy. He doesn't look like a bad person at all."

Zhu Ling thought of the sunny, handsome and smiling boy during the day, and she couldn't believe that he could be a bad guy.

"I just said it's possible, not certain. Besides, what bad guy has the word bad guy engraved on his forehead? Don't you think about it? He's just a purchaser, and he can deliver so much food at will. Where can he get so many things? I guess there must be someone behind him. Anyway, you just listen to me. Give him the money tomorrow and ask about it. It doesn't matter whether he tells you or not. Anyway, we won't take advantage of others."

Zhu Guoqiang glanced at the dazed Zhu Ling and said.

"Oh, I see!"

When Zhu Ling heard her father say this, she naturally had no other opinions. She just spoke for Li Wenqiang based on her first impression of him. Since her father said that he had a problem, she would just go there tomorrow. It was the weekend after all, and she could go anywhere.

Li Wenqiang didn't know that he had been targeted by someone just by giving away a bag of things. If he had known, he would definitely not be so shameless and end up in trouble while trying to pick up girls.

At this time, he was taking care of Xu Huizhen's child in the backyard of the tavern. The baby was a one-year-old girl, chubby and very cute. Xu Huizhen was cooking in the kitchen.

After the body transformation, the body's needs and desires also became much greater. In the afternoon, I played shamelessly in the room with Xu Huizhen for the whole afternoon. We didn't even go to Tofu Lane, and all things were delayed.

Alcohol and sex are really misleading. I will quit drinking starting tomorrow!
