The two were simply taking precautions. Based on experience and intuition, they made the worst-case scenario plan.
Thinking ahead, they figured that with their combined abilities, they could handle any unexpected situations.
No matter what, you'll be safe and sound.
In the end, I was overthinking it, really overthinking it.
They never expected that someone could make such a huge mess!
They got caught up in the drama too!
...
Once Lin Laosan received confirmation, he went to the Armed Forces Department to borrow people.
Upon hearing this, the armed forces department, knowing that the man had obtained the commune's approval, gave him two people as a token gesture.
When Lin Laosan saw this, his face turned ashen.
Is Lin Laosan really that worthless?
Although she was unhappy inside, she still wore a fawning smile on her face.
"Brother, my surname is Lin. My family is poor, and I don't have a given name. I'm the third child in my family, so everyone calls me Lin Laosan (Third Brother Lin)."
Brother, you look about my age. If you don't mind, just call me Third Brother. May I ask your surname?
Seeing that Lin Laosan had a good attitude, the man flattered himself.
He simply replied, "My surname is Sha!"
Lin Laosan extended his hands and excitedly shook hands with this old brother Sha: "So it's Brother Sha! My apologies for not bringing you any. I was in such a hurry that I didn't bring you any of our mountain specialties."
"Hey buddy, it's almost noon, and we're not in a rush to get to our place. How about this: we go to the state-run restaurant first, have a meal, and then get back to work? What do you think?"
This Brother Sha is a squad leader in the armed forces department, and he looks to be under thirty years old.
He was about half the size of Lin Laosan.
Even someone like that, Lin Laosan could shamelessly call him brother.
I also need to treat him to a meal.
Squad Leader Sha patted the crew-cut hair.
I'm in a bit of a dilemma.
This isn't quite in accordance with the rules!
Look at our own captain: Is he capable?
He closed his eyes slightly, lowered his head to drink water: Go, keep a close eye on the person, and make sure nothing goes wrong.
Squad Leader Sha nodded.
Understand!
Upon receiving the signal from his superior, Squad Leader Sha said to the eager Lin Laosan, "Brother Lin, let's go. I'll call my two brothers along too."
This person came to them seeking help, and they offered help out of friendship.
Let's treat him to a meal, it's fine, since the boss has already agreed.
Lin Laosan watched as Brother Sha finished speaking and went off to call for others.
No, is this guy an idiot?
He just wanted to invite him to dinner.
He just took office and doesn't have much money yet!
He's already feeling the pinch enough about treating me to a meal by himself!
Two more have arrived.
Just when he was heartbroken.
Sha Hongbing arrived with two comrades.
The two of them hadn't originally planned to come.
Because looking at this Lin Laosan, there was something just wrong with him.
These two are even younger than Sha Hongbing.
I'm just over twenty, and I don't have many complicated feelings yet.
You won't give a nice look to people you don't like.
Lin Laosan gave the two men a fawning smile.
The two men immediately returned a military salute.
Lin Laosan's face froze: This person is definitely someone who can help him!
It didn't come from my own pocket?
Fine, at least someone listens to me now.
The four of them went to a state-run restaurant.
There weren't many people eating at that time, so the four of them found a square table and sat down.
Take a look at today's supplies on the blackboard.
Lin Laosan reluctantly ordered a bowl of braised pork.
Four bowls of rice.
Here comes another dish: cabbage, pork, and glass noodles.
Originally, Lin Laosan was reluctant to part with it, but then he thought that he was asking someone for a favor, so he had to give up some money.
When the waiter collects the tickets.
Lin Laosan was still reluctant to part with them, and he tugged at the banknotes in his hand for a moment.
The waiter, who was taken aback by his pause, was quite displeased: "You poor wretch, you're eating braised pork with such a pathetic appearance! You're poor but generous."
When Sha Hongbing heard that Lin Laosan had ordered braised pork, he repeatedly said no.
This stuff not only requires a meat coupon, but it's also expensive; one serving costs quite a bit of money.
Add rice and cabbage.
Even without considering food coupons and meat coupons, it would still cost several yuan.
That's way too expensive.
Lin Laosan is putting on a brave face despite his swollen appearance.
He waved his hands repeatedly, trying to appear indifferent, saying it wasn't expensive, he just wanted to get to know his brothers.
This made Sha Hongbing and the others increasingly uncomfortable.
Why is this person so arrogant?
They're all in their fifties or sixties, yet they still call each other brothers.
Lin Laosan had originally ordered another bottle of wine.
Sha Hongbing firmly refused.
I have to go to work this afternoon, how can I drink alcohol!
This is a mistake.
Hearing his words, Lin Laosan had an even bigger headache.
This will definitely help me.
No, it's after a good meal and tea.
The group then arrived at Shangwan Village.
At this time, everyone in the village went to work.
Actually, there's not much work left now.
Normally, people would be hibernating by this time of year.
The ground is frozen solid, so they can only grow winter wheat here.
Other vegetables can only be grown in greenhouses.
It definitely won't work outside.
The temperature was too low at night, they all froze to death.
For many years, there has been virtually no work to be done in the fields here during winter.
Now, one option is to have vegetables paired with mushrooms.
There is still some work to be done.
However, these are all handled by fixed personnel.
Everyone else can hibernate!
At worst, I can do some indoor work.
But now, it doesn't work.
