After Lu Yuan took the three of them home, he went to the machinery factory. The three of them earnestly invited him to have dinner together that evening, but he declined.
They agreed that next time, he would go home earlier than usual since he hadn't told his family today.
Machinery factory.
When Liao Yongchang saw Lu Yuan, he smiled broadly, his eyes practically disappearing as if he were seeing his own father. In his excitement, he scratched the top of his sparse head.
Looking at the few strands of hair stuck in his palm, his smile froze on his face.
With a sigh, she painfully tore off her hair.
"Xiao Lu, what brings you here today?"
Lu Yuan handed over a piece of wild boar meat that he had taken out of his spatial storage beforehand.
"Our team members hunted wild boar a couple of days ago, and their families got some meat. I brought you two pounds today."
After weighing about two or three pounds, Liao Yongchang no longer felt sorry for those few strands of hair.
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Lu. I heard yesterday that a brigade had gotten a wild boar weighing over 1,000 jin for the county. My family went to the market early this morning to queue up, but we were too late and there were no meat bones left."
Now that Lu Yuan has given us these few pounds of meat to take home, our family will definitely be very happy.
Lu Yuan said with a smile, "That wild boar weighing a thousand pounds was hunted by our brigade."
Liao Yongchang was surprised; his three tufts of hair almost stood on end.
"So it was your brigade that did it. I was wondering which brigade had that kind of ability."
Then, with burning eyes, she looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Little Lu, look..."
Lu Yuan quickly interrupted him, "Director Liao, I seem to remember that your factory recently replaced a few wild boars."
We traded a few large wild boars with them when we changed the feed mill.
Liao Yongchang chuckled, "Who would complain about having too much meat!"
"Well, what I mean is, if your brigade still has..."
"They're gone. We don't have any wild boars anymore."
Liao Yongchang was somewhat disappointed, as he had thought he would be able to get a big wild boar for the New Year.
"Okay. Then we'll give priority to your factory in the future."
"No problem, no problem. Director Liao, well, County Magistrate Luo's car broke down, and a few parts are missing."
"Okay, I'll take you there myself."
Having selected the appropriate parts, Lu Yuan didn't linger in the county town and drove back to the brigade.
The car was repaired in less than half an hour and handed over to Xiao Fan. He didn't have to worry about the car anymore.
The supply and marketing cooperative was doing quite well. They had a wider selection of goods than the commune. When the members of several surrounding brigades heard about this, they stopped going to the commune to buy things and all came to their brigade instead.
"Ah Yuan, we're afraid we'll have to restock before the New Year." Lu Guoan was both happy and worried as he looked at the warehouse where there wasn't much stock left.
"Okay, I'll restock after Yuanchao and Dongzi return."
We restocked once before the New Year, and it seems we'll have to wait a while longer before we need to restock again.
The reason for the fast sales during this period is that everyone is willing to spend money on New Year's goods because it is almost Chinese New Year. At other times, apart from some daily necessities, people don't have many needs and won't buy things casually.
Two days later, Xu Dong and Lu Yuanchao returned.
"Brother Yuan, as you requested, this time we brought back nothing but fabric. Where should we unload the goods?"
"No need to unload, just leave it in the car," Lu Yuan replied.
He gave the brigade's supply and marketing cooperative 30 bolts of cloth last time, and so far only about ten bolts have been used up, so there is no need to replenish them now.
Fabrics are prone to dampness, fading, or damage from insects and rodents if not stored properly, so it's safer to keep them in a safe space.
"OK."
Xu Dong and Lu Yuanchao didn't ask any more questions. Lu Yuan told them they didn't need to unload the cargo, so they didn't worry about anything else.
For this trip, Lu Yuan gave each of them 200 coins plus a bolt of cloth, which made them extremely happy.
This round trip is worth more than half a year's salary for others, it's a good deal.
The two also brought back some good news.
"Wenjing's sister-in-law is pregnant."
Xu Dong also gave Lu Yuan a letter, which mainly contained this good news.
In addition, there were some everyday things. The letter also mentioned Xiao Hui, who has already learned to walk and has learned to call his maternal grandparents and uncles and aunts.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were both very happy.
"Brother Yuan, let's call our eldest brother and sister-in-law later to congratulate them."
Lu Yuan said, "No need to wait until we turn back, let's go now."
