Lin Yu's tears suddenly fell, but she stubbornly pursed her lips and didn't cry out. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
"You stinky Qiao Feng, you also need to take good care of yourself and not get hurt, okay?"
Qiao Feng is going back, probably for another mission. Lin Yu knows the dangers of being a soldier, and she's afraid that one day...
Qiao Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother is very strong. Take care of yourself, and I'll come to see you again next time."
"Yes, you said you had to come."
...
Not long after Qiao Feng left, Lin Yuan and Li Dahui returned with the transport truck.
Knowing that Qiao Feng had left him a set of military uniforms, Lin Yuan exclaimed, "Good brother!"
Lin Yu then asked them about their experience in Beicheng.
This train journey certainly broadened Lin Yuan's and Li Dahui's horizons.
Lin Yuan loves to boast, and his explanations are often unclear and ambiguous. Li Dahui, on the other hand, is more reliable, simply recounting their journey in a straightforward manner.
They followed the car and chatted with the driver for the first two days. As they gradually became familiar with each other, they offered the driver cigarettes and gave him some of the food they had brought.
They quickly became good brothers.
The two often asked him questions while he was driving, and he was happy to answer them.
They also help out when we need to repair the car.
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
Through these repeated experiences, by the time they reached the north of the city, they had both become semi-drivers.
As soon as they arrived in Beicheng, Zhou Huanan was already waiting for them.
They were always there for us when dealing with department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and factories.
Lin Yuan still exclaimed in amazement, "Zhou Zhiqing sometimes seems a bit dull, but I never expected him to be so successful in Beicheng. He's related to people in all those units."
"Now I understand why we chose him as a salesperson. If it were the two of us, we wouldn't have been able to get this many orders."
Lin Yuan wasn't jealous, after all, that was someone else's background from birth.
He and Li Dahui are from the countryside, but weren't they able to get orders in the county town precisely because of their local advantage?
The supply contract for the provincial capital was later finalized thanks to the help of Li Dahui's aunt.
Lin Yuan viewed this matter objectively, simply stating that he would do his best.
Only what you have yourself truly matters.
Li Dahui was also deeply moved. He used to live in the countryside and never imagined that Beicheng, a first-tier city in the country, was like this.
It's like another world there.
The area was bustling and lively, with people riding bicycles on the streets, dressed in work clothes and looking energetic.
They had very few patches on their clothes.
Here, in the brigade, there are families where several children share one pair of pants; whoever goes out wears them.
The difference is so great that it's easy to imagine.
Seeing such a world broadened Li Dahui's horizons, and he felt that he could go to a wider world to strive for.
At the same time, he understood even more the significance of this workshop to the Lianhua Brigade.
If they could expand and strengthen their workshop, like those large state-owned factories, then their entire brigade, including several nearby brigades, would no longer go hungry.
They can live just as well as those city dwellers.
This trip to Beicheng broadened the horizons of both Lin Yuan and Li Dahui, so much so that they never forgot the experience of accompanying the delivery truck for the rest of their lives.
That's a story for later. The most important thing about their return from the north was that they brought back all the payment for the goods.
Speaking of this, Lin Yuan smiled wryly: "To keep this money safe, neither of us dared to sleep."
They took turns sleeping, but the one who was sleeping remained vigilant and dared not fall into a deep sleep.
They didn't even dare let the driver know that they were carrying such a large sum of money.
So even if they were very nervous, they had to pretend that nothing was wrong.
Only after they got home did the two of them finally relax.
While listening to their conversation, Lin Aiguo had the accountant count the money.
"The total is 2536.25, that's correct."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Look at all this money, we don't even dare to go to the toilet."
Now that the money has been delivered and the amount matches up, Lin Yuan belatedly realized he was sleepy and yawned.
Ding Dahua looked at her son's dark circles and felt sorry for him: "Go and get some sleep, Dahui, you too."
Li Dahui was tired and too lazy to walk home. Since his mother, Aunt Lin, was there, he told her and went to his room to sleep with Lin Yuan.
By this time, everyone in the village knew that the two of them had returned, and they all gathered in the Lin family's courtyard.
Ma Lianhua had been waiting for a long time. She rubbed her hands together and said, "Captain, when are we going to split the money?"
She not only receives a salary, but the brigade also pays team members based on work points. Her family has several members, so they can earn quite a bit.
Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, the team leader couldn't bear to disappoint them, so he said, "Alright, let's wait for the accountant to calculate the scores, and then we'll meet at the threshing ground this afternoon to divide the money!"
"The captain is so generous!" The team members applauded with joy.
The team leader was a little embarrassed and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, go home and cook and eat. Don't crowd around my house."
The team members were afraid he would get angry and stop paying them, so they immediately scattered.
Lin Yu found it all quite amusing.
Lin Aiguo was not an untrustworthy person. After the accountant finished calculating the workshop's accounts for this period and the work points, he went to the threshing ground to distribute the money.
“Our workshop has been open for several months now, and our total income is 5,269.5 yuan. After deducting the amount to be paid to the Dongfeng Brigade and the daily expenses, we have 3,456 yuan left. We keep 456 yuan as a reserve fund and give you the remaining 3,000 yuan.”
"The first payout is for the workshop's regular employees. They can come up and collect their wages when their names are called."
Sister Zhao Chan, Ma Lianhua, Liang Yumei…
It was only at this point that Lin Yu learned that Grandma Lin's name was Sister Zhao Chan, which sounded very authoritative.
Lin Yu, as the supervisor, also received her salary. Several months' worth of wages were paid out together, totaling over a hundred yuan.
Others didn't have as much, but they still had several tens of yuan.
Grandma Lin and Aunt Liang were overjoyed. "This is the first time I've ever earned so much money all by myself."
Song Meili burst into tears of joy. She had saved every penny and worked hard to earn work points, but she couldn't have saved this much money before.
Zhang Bing has finally stood up for himself; he's no longer a freeloader.
Ou Manqing was much calmer, after all, she originally came from a good family and later made a lot of money on her own in her previous life.
But when she thought about Li Dahui saying that he would propose marriage once he made money, she felt very happy.
"Haha, old man, look at this, I earned this money myself." That arrogance is definitely Ma Lianhua's.
Her husband, Li Dayou, shook his head: "Didn't you say this workshop was a scam, and that you'd cause trouble if they couldn't pay you back...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ma Lianhua covered his mouth: "You old geezer, shut up."
