Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

"Get Xiaohu a pair of pants! He's not a kid anymore, he can't walk his bird around every day!"

Widow Li happily collected the money and tickets and said, "Come on, Damao, don't move. I'll wash it for you."

Early in the morning, Ding Fengqin acted as if nothing had happened and exploited Li Feng again.

The two of them ate the rice porridge they had made yesterday and planned to go to work.

As soon as the two of them went out, they ran into Sha Zhu. Li Feng looked at his happy face and asked curiously, "Why are you so happy so early in the morning? Did you eat honey shit?"

Sha Zhu bared his teeth and said, "Hey, buddy, I have something good to say today."

"What's the good news? Why are you so happy? Did you get a promotion and a raise?"

Just when Sha Zhu was about to show off, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Keep it a secret." Then he hummed a little tune and left the yard.

Ding Fengqin locked the door and asked in confusion, "What happened to He Yuzhu today?"

"I guess someone introduced him to a girl, and he's very satisfied!"

"Let's go. You take me on your bike."

Ding Fengqin said speechlessly: "You are too heavy, I can't carry you!"

"That can't be helped. Who told you to squeeze me dry?"

Ding Fengqin said speechlessly: "Do you think you are the only one who doesn't want to move? I am tired too, okay?"

"Huh? You can't, right?"

"Hey, can you please stop saying these things outside? It's so embarrassing!"

"Then let's walk there. It's not far anyway."

"The two locked the car in the house and went to the street office."

"What a coincidence, Aunt Wang? I see you every day when I come here!"

Director Wang said nothing. He came to Li Feng and said, "You have time to go to the grain store today and buy all the grain. No matter what it is, buy whatever you can."

Li Feng was stunned and said, "Are we going to reduce the food ration?"

"You are a smart kid. You must not tell anyone."

"Don't worry Aunt Wang, I'll get busy first."

"Go."

"Fengqin, go and notify them that the meeting will start at 8:30."

Li Feng sighed and thought: "What is coming has finally come!"

He came to Niu Dali, handed him an ear of sticky corn and asked, "How much food have you stored during this period?"

Niu Dali looked around and whispered, "Including the food, there are about 800 kilograms."

"So many? You must have stockpiled a lot recently! Have you been discovered?"

"No, I carry a bag with me every day. When people asked me about it, I told them it was for lunch boxes, water bottles, etc. I also went to the black market several times at night to get these food. Now I have spent almost all the salary I saved during this period!"

"Okay, that's good. Be sure to hide the food at home so that no one can find it. Also, be careful not to get bugs."

"Well, you suddenly said this, did you hear any news?"

Li Feng nodded and said, "It's okay now. Go to the grain store and buy your family's rationed food."

"Just say there's no food at home, and don't say anything else."

Seeing that he didn't move, Li Feng asked, "Why don't you go?"

Niu Dali smiled and said, "I've received them all!"

"Okay, pretty good!"

At this time, a young man with a face full of dust came over and said, "Master Niu, there is too much slag in the blast furnace. We need two trucks to pull it out. Can you see when you have time?"

Niu Dali threw away the corn cob and said, "Let's go, now."

Xiao Huo looked at the corn cobs thrown aside, swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to load them on the truck."

After work, Li Feng and Ding Fengqin went to the grain store and bought all the grain. Ding Fengqin said, "What will we do if the grain ration is reduced in the future?"

Li Feng said, "Why are you worried? We are all registered in the city, so we have enough food."

"Hey! There is enough food now, what if the food ration is reduced?"

Li Feng asked doubtfully: "Who told you this?"

"I guessed it. I didn't hear anyone say it."

He didn't expect that Ding Fengqin's guess was so accurate and she could see so far!

"Don't worry, no one else dares to say anything, so it's no problem to support you."

Ding Fengqin nodded happily, and a flash of anxiety passed through her eyes, but Li Feng did not notice.

Back at the courtyard, Yan Bugui was standing at the door watering the flowers. He saw Li Gousheng and his wife carrying a lot of large and small bags. He knew it was food at a glance, so he stepped forward and asked, "Gousheng, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Uncle Third! There is not much food left at home, so I went to the grain store to buy some."

After seeing the two of them return home, Yan Bugui felt something was wrong. He put down the kettle, went back to the house and said, "Quickly bring the grain book, let's go to the grain store and buy some grain."

The third aunt put down the fly swatter and said, "We still have food at home, no need to rush to buy more."

"Oh, don't waste time, hurry up, and take the money with you, and come with me."

After the couple left the compound, Auntie San asked curiously, "Dad, what happened to you today?"

"I don't know either. I saw Li Gousheng and his wife bringing back a lot of food in large and small bags. I guess the price of food will go up."

"Ah? Then we have to buy it back quickly. Gousheng told you that food prices are going to go up?"

"No, he didn't say anything, but who would buy so much food for no reason? The street office must have received some information. Don't forget, Gousheng's wife is from the street office."

"Even if it was a false alarm, the food won't go away if it's stored there. We have to buy it sooner or later."

"Yes, you are right. Let's go quickly before all the food is snatched away."

Li Feng returned home and put away the food. Ding Fengqin started to light the fire and cook. As soon as they finished eating, Ding Fengqin pulled him and said, "Let's go to bed early today. We wasted several hours yesterday!"

Li Feng was speechless. This wife was too obsessed with this aspect! But he still liked her very much. No matter what opinions he put forward, Ding Fengqin was very cooperative.

The next day, when the two of them arrived at the street office, Director Wang was waiting at the gate. When he saw the young couple, he said, "Fengqin, come with me to the various courtyards later."

"Xiao Feng, your steel mill called. You and Niu Dali should go back to the steel mill directly. If there is anything going on here, I will call you later."

"Okay, Aunt Wang, let's go then."

When Li Feng and Niu Dali returned to the steel rolling mill, they were called over by the director. When they arrived, they found that the director not only called them, but also Ding Youtian was there, as well as several new and old drivers.

He looked at the director and said, "Director Tian, ​​we are back."

"Well, you are good. Director Wang who received the call said a lot of good things about you!"

"Please sit down for a while. I'll talk to you when everyone is here."

Li Feng sat down and handed Ding Youtian a cigarette and asked, "Dad, what kind of mission is this? Why are you using so many cars? You even called us back?"
