That night.
Not long after Gao Yan returned home, Mr. and Mrs. Xu came to his door with some things.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, what's going on here?"
Gao Yan asked.
"Weiguo, we owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, if Wang Erni had really entered our Xu family, we would never have been able to hold our heads high again!"
Old Xu grabbed Gao Yan's hand, his face full of gratitude, and said, "These days everyone cares about their reputation. If my son marries a slut, once the news gets out, our Xu family will have no face in the courtyard!"
Therefore, their gratitude for Gao Yan was heartfelt!
"Uncle Xu, you're too kind. This has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, I understand. By the way, I didn't give you a gift when you and Xiao Li got married, so I'm making up for it today!" Old Xu was a clever man, and he immediately understood Gao Yan's thoughts and changed his words.
We chatted for a while longer.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Xu left.
At this moment, Li Mengyao opened the bag that Lao Xu and his wife had brought and found that it contained five catties of flour and a piece of cured meat weighing more than two catties.
As the famine continued, food became increasingly scarce, and the price of flour on the black market rose higher and higher, with a pound of flour costing at least two yuan!
Therefore, these five jin of flour alone are worth at least 10 yuan, and the two jin of cured meat are also worth several yuan.
"Honey, isn't this too much?"
Li Mengyao asked cautiously.
"It's alright, keep it!"
Gao Yan waved his hand, his words successfully averting a family tragedy, so he accepted the reward as a matter of course.
As the saying goes, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
There are no secrets in a courtyard house.
Old Xu's family specially invited Gao Yan to see the girl when they went on a blind date.
But they did not work out.
Strangely enough, Mr. and Mrs. Xu brought gifts to thank Gao Yan.
This greatly piqued everyone's curiosity.
So all the older women and young wives pitched in, pestering Aunt Xu to find out the reason.
Unable to resist the persistent pestering, Aunt Xu revealed the truth.
The group of middle-aged women and young wives were completely dumbfounded.
At the same time, he became increasingly convinced that Gao Yan had a knack for judging women.
Those who were planning to arrange blind dates for their sons secretly decided that they would definitely ask Gao Yan to come and take a look when the blind dates happened.
Otherwise, they wouldn't feel at ease.
Moreover, the story of Gao Yan meeting women not only circulated in the courtyard, but also quickly spread to the surrounding courtyards. In a short time, he actually became a celebrity in the nearby courtyards!
therefore.
Two days later, an elderly couple from a nearby courtyard house came to Gao Yan's house with gifts, inviting him to take a look at their son's blind date!
Gao Yan originally wanted to refuse.
But after thinking about it, he agreed. If he frequently helped people find women, wouldn't that provide him with an extra legitimate source of income, and he wouldn't have to eat braised meat all the time?
After all, you get tired of eating braised meat every day.
If anyone else knew what he was thinking, they would definitely kill him!
Of course, in order to help people judge their appearance more accurately, he also secretly collected some books on physiognomy to fill in the gaps in his professional knowledge.
To be fair, physiognomy, which has been passed down for thousands of years, still has its merits.
After thoroughly studying several books on physiognomy, Gao Yan secretly examined the faces of everyone in the compound. Combining this with their own circumstances, he discovered that the physiognomy calculations were remarkably accurate!
Then, when he was on a blind date at a nearby courtyard house, he went there.
The girl's appearance was average, but still above average. Based on her appearance, Gao Yan used physiognomy to determine that she was a grateful and filial girl.
Then I checked the other party's data.
Finally, Gao Yan left, saying that the girl was a good match for him.
That day.
Gao Yan was drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the security department's office.
Zhao Dong hurriedly walked in.
"Weiguo, you've been with our security department for a while now. We have a batch of classified materials that need to be escorted to Beihe. I'm thinking of having two people accompany you on this mission. What do you think?"
When do we depart?
Gao Yan asked directly, "Although I don't have much ambition, it's not right to slack off at work every day. So, this escort mission is also an opportunity for me to prove my abilities."
Moreover, this was his first task, and he couldn't refuse; otherwise, there would be gossip.
Zhao Dong said, "We'll be leaving at six tonight. If you're planning to take on this escort mission, you can go home now and come to the factory before six!"
"Okay, I'll take this mission. Can I choose the escort myself?"
After a slight hesitation, Zhao Dong said, "Okay!"
"Then let's go with Hu Shengli and Jia Xiaodong!"
Gao said that escort missions are subsidized; generally, more dangerous escort missions can receive a subsidy of 2 yuan per day.
In addition, there are some hidden perks, such as buying items that are in short supply in Beijing from the local area and bringing them back to resell.
"Then it's settled!"
Zhao Dong made the decision.
Afterwards, Gao Yan called Hu Shengli and Jia Xiaodong into his office and told them that he wanted them to accompany him to escort confidential materials.
Hu Shengli's expression changed slightly, but he did not refuse.
Jia Xiaodong, on the other hand, was quite excited and even a little eager to try!
"The escort mission departs at 6 PM. You two can go back first and come back before 6 PM. As for your patrol duties, I will arrange for someone else to do them!"
After dismissing Hu Shengli and Jia Xiaodong.
Gao Yan handed over the patrol duties to two other people in the group.
