Li Xu took it and looked at it. The bag was full of tea leaves packed into packages.

I counted them and found there were 12 packages in total, with two packages of higher quality tied together with separate ropes.

Seeing that Liu Gang did not open the tea leaves to check them after receiving them, and directly handed the money to the person who did not take anything, Li Xu also pretended to take out 28 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him.

This money was the 50 yuan that Sun Xiu gave Li Xu when he went to the black market to buy food. He never spent it and kept it until now.

The most important thing is that you can't spend it. It's useless to have money without tickets...

After the staff member collected the money, he counted it, said hello to everyone, and left with the other two.

Liu Gang also talked with Director Yu for a while before saying goodbye.

Director Yu accompanied the two of them to the car and only turned and left after seeing the car drive away.

In the car, Li Xu asked, "Uncle Liu, how do you know him?"

"I was introduced by someone else, and after a few visits, we became familiar with each other."

"By the way, Uncle Liu, why did you buy so much?"

Liu Gang said nonchalantly, "I didn't buy it just for myself. I also bought some for other relatives and friends. Besides, you bought quite a lot. I didn't realize you were so rich."

Li Xu quickly explained: "I just started working, how can I have any money? I also asked my family for money."

The two of them didn't say much when the car arrived at the train station.

When they got there, they saw that they were the only two who arrived first, and none of the others had arrived yet.

The two got out of the car and stretched their bodies while chatting.

After a while, cars arrived one after another.

No one asked about others' affairs, nor did anyone mention their own affairs, but judging from everyone's smiling faces, they probably all gained something.

After everyone arrived, we drove back.

So we staggered all the way, and by the time we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening and it was already dark.

Everyone went home with guns, covered in dirt, and carrying their belongings.

Before leaving, Liu Gang told Li Xu that he didn't have to go to work tomorrow and could take a day off. After hearing this, Li Xu nodded, said hello and went back.

I have to say that these days, if you work too late, you can rest the next day and your salary will be calculated as usual. After all, whether riding in a car or driving a car is a physical job in this day and age.

When he walked to the gate, he found that Uncle Xu was not there. It was a person on night shift who was on duty. Li Xu greeted this person and went back.

I dragged my tired body back home, and when I got home, I found that there was still light from the kerosene lamp in the main room.

Li Xu was stunned. He walked into the main room and saw that the elders, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Xiu, Li Ping, Li Mei and others were sitting in the room talking.

When they saw Li Xu walk in, they were also stunned, but then they reacted, stood up and pulled Li Xu to the stool. Li Ping reached out to take the things Li Xu brought, and Li Mei brought Li Xu a glass of water.

Only then did Li Xu ask in confusion, "Mom, brother, why aren't you all asleep?"

Sun Xiu said angrily, "How dare you ask? Why didn't you tell us you were out with the car today? When we saw you still weren't home by dinner time, we thought something had happened to you. Your eldest brother went to your workplace and only then did we find out you were out with the car today."

Although Sun Xiu's words were impolite, Li Xu felt warm inside.

Li Xu also smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm so sorry for making everyone worry about me. This is my first time going out and I have no experience. I will learn later."

Several people said it was okay, so Sun Xiu asked again, "Did you not have dinner?"

Li Xu murmured "hmm".

He really didn't expect so much. After all, it was his first business trip and he had no experience.

Sun Xiu gave him an unpleasant look and turned to go to the kitchen.

Just as everyone was still asking him what it felt like to ride in a car for the first time, Sun Xiu came over with a small bowl of steamed bread and a small plate of pickles, and put them on the table:

"Eat it. It's all saved for you at night. It's been warmed on the stove."

Li Xu almost shed tears when he heard this. Who in later generations could enjoy this?

After expressing his thanks, Li Xu picked up the steamed bread and began to eat it.

There's no way, I'm really hungry.

Everyone watched him eat, and soon Li Xu finished all the steamed bread.

Sun Xiu put the bowls and pickles in the kitchen, turned around and came back to ask Li Xu about what happened today.

Li Xu told everyone about his first experience riding a car today.

Finally, he took the bag that Li Ping had placed on the table.

He opened the bag and took out a Mauser first.

Everyone was stunned again. Li Jiakang asked, "Why did you bring the gun back?"

Li Xu explained: "There's nothing we can do. When we returned today, the logistics department had already finished get off work. We can just hand it in when we go back to work the day after tomorrow."

Li Ping asked, "Why do we have to go to work the day after tomorrow?"

"Our car team is different from normal work. If we work too late, we can rest the next day. My teacher told me to take a day off tomorrow."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Then Li Xu took out the tea leaves from the bag.

Li Mei looked at the packages and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Li Xu chuckled: "Good stuff, guess what."

When they heard it was a good thing, they all became interested and tried to guess a few things, but none of them got it right.

Li Xu didn't keep the secret any longer and took out a package and opened it.

When everyone saw it, their faces were filled with surprise.

Sun Xiu hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xu, these aren't all of them, are they?"

Li Xu nodded, "Both."

Li Jiakang was also shocked: "How did you get so much tea?"

Li Xu smiled and did not answer. Instead, he handed the tea in his hand to everyone to see how it was different from the tea they usually saw at home.

Everyone looked again and again, and Li Mei said uncertainly: "Why are all the tea leaves damaged?"

"Hehe, big sister really has a good eye." Then she explained to everyone again the origin of these teas.

After hearing this, Li Ping said, "No wonder people say being a driver has so many benefits. I didn't think much of it before, but now it seems to be true. You're not even a driver, yet you can still enjoy these benefits..."

After hearing this, Li Xu smiled and said, "Brother, why do you still envy others? I don't know how many people envy your job!"

Li Ping also laughed after hearing this.

Li Xu reached out and took out a pack of better quality tea and two packs of inferior tea, saying that these three packs would be given to the uncle who had arranged for him to join the motorcade.

Everyone said that this was as it should be.

Li Xu handed the remaining pack of better tea to Li Jiakang, saying it was his son's filial piety to them.

Li Jiakang was also overjoyed, and the smile on his face was clearly visible even in the dim light.
