What's most infuriating is that someone with such a prestigious background is crammed into a hard seat with a bunch of other people, while there are still empty soft sleeper compartments!
Every time she traveled with the train, she would inquire which sleeper compartments were occupied.
Those are all important clients who need to be treated with great care and cannot be neglected.
She checked all the guests in the sleeper compartment and found no one named Zhao Youcai. Otherwise, she would never have caused such a scene on the train.
Now I've hit a wall.
The final result was that the female sales clerk caused trouble for no reason and was detained at the police station for three days.
The train police officers left with the credentials from the Public Security Bureau, and Zhao Youcai didn't linger, humming a little tune as he went home.
The people of Zhaojiagou now see Zhao Youcai as someone they would rather see their ancestors.
"Brother Zhao, you're finally back! A lot of important people have come to our village recently, all of them here for you."
“I used to be quite afraid of those leaders, afraid that I might offend them if I didn’t catch my breath. But recently I’ve trained myself to not be afraid at all. We all have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, right? Nobody has more or less than anyone else.”
"You must be tired after being away for so long? Would you like to come to my place for a drink of water before you go back?"
Zhao Youcai: ...
He now fully understands what "simplicity" means.
Sure enough, once a person has money and power, they have everything.
Look, even the stingy old man who lives less than 50 meters from his house knows to let him have a drink of water and rest.
"No need, I've been away for too long, and I'm starting to miss the kids at home."
Sure enough, the next second, the stingy old man's wife took a wooden shovel and smacked her husband on the head.
"Are you trying to impress me? Our house is only a short distance from Brother Zhao's, do we need you to be so attentive?"
After saying this, he laughed even more heartily than the old man who had been beaten, and his voice was incredibly husky.
"Brother Zhao, you should go back now. Your children are all really good, each and every one of them is exceptional!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to give a thumbs up and point it firmly in Zhao Youcai's direction.
Zhao Youcai walked through the crowd with a smile, striding towards home.
To his surprise, the door was locked from the outside.
Zhao Youcai remained silent, then turned and walked towards the factory at the foot of the mountain.
Sure enough, I saw several children busily working in the factory.
Almost every production line has someone from the same family overseeing it, who will occasionally walk over to that person to demonstrate and provide guidance.
Zhao Youcai nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, people can grow on their own.
The second son, Zhao Jianjun, was the first to see his father. He was so excited, like a child weighing over 130 pounds, that he ran and stumbled to Zhao Youcai.
"Dad! You're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Zhao Youcai: You can miss me, but there's no need for me to die, thank you.
However, no one knew what he was thinking. At this moment, Zhao Jianjun shouted for his wife and brothers.
"Come quickly and see who's back!"
Zhao Youcai really wanted to reach out and cover his stupid son's mouth, which was as loud as a donkey's. He wasn't afraid that the shout would startle the people working by the machine and accidentally cut their hands.
Fortunately, this group of people were very safety conscious, and the machine was not quiet, so not many people could hear his voice.
Zhao Youcai patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could just give him the key.
Zhao Jianjun then realized that the whole family had come out, and the children were still at school.
He slapped his forehead hard and hurried to his wife, telling her to stop what she was doing and go back with her father.
"What did you say? Dad's back?"
The second son's wife was even more excited than Zhao Jianjun. She hurriedly ran to Zhao Youcai, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.
"Dad, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and go back to make you something delicious!"
Before Zhao Youcai could say anything, his second wife disappeared like a gust of wind.
Helpless, Zhao Youcai could only stand there and wait for a while longer.
To his surprise, it wasn't just his second daughter-in-law who changed out of her work clothes; the other daughters-in-law also changed into different outfits.
Soon, a large number of elderly men and women gathered at the front gate of Zhao Youcai's house.
Zhao Youcai has gotten used to being the center of attention and his doorstep becoming the liveliest place in the whole village.
Fortunately, all the able-bodied men in the village have jobs, most of them working in Zhao Youcai's factory.
Zhao Youcai had also discussed with the brigade leader that when it came time for the busy harvest season, each family would leave one or two women to work at the factory.
After the busy farming season is over, the men will be allowed to return to work at the factory.
This way, the progress in the fields can be maintained while ensuring the production efficiency of spicy strips, instant noodles, ham sausages, and other products in the factory.
Such a perfect deal was so good that the captain naturally agreed without even needing a meeting.
When Zhao Youcai returned this time, the grain delivery team had already returned, and each household sent one or two people to busy stacking firewood.
With just over a month left until the Lunar New Year, the first snow of the year fell today.
Everyone was in high spirits, never expecting the first snow to fall so heavily.
As the saying goes, a timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest. With the current snowfall trend, next year's harvest will surely be even better.
The battalion commander and the rest of the battalion were currently extremely busy at the battalion headquarters.
In previous years, they were extremely worried, as they had to scrape together what they needed to distribute each year. They were concerned that the brigade would have nothing left and would be unable to help themselves if something happened.
Now the worry is that I'm making too much money; all the accounting and writing is making my hands ache.
It truly is a case of experiencing both pain and pleasure.
Upon learning that Zhao Youcai had returned, the brigade leader immediately put down his pen and rushed to Zhao Youcai's house.
The other village officials also wanted to follow the brigade leader's example and relax, but they heard the brigade leader shouting loudly as he left:
"Hurry up and calculate what's due to the commune members. This year's accounts must be even more rigorous and detailed. Post them on the bulletin board outside in a couple of days; they must be completely open and transparent!"
What could the others do? They could only grit their teeth, pick up their pens, and curse the brigade leader as a lazy, annoying scoundrel.
"Hey bro, you're back!"
Zhao Youcai had barely lain down when he heard the noise outside and knew that the brigade leader must have arrived.
Looking around, the only person who dares to call Zhao Youcai "brother" is his blood cousin, the brigade leader.
He had been wondering why the captain was being so quiet today, but then this guy arrived right away.
"The captain's here! Please come in."
Snowflakes were falling outside, but Zhao Youcai was too cold to go out.
He sat cross-legged on the warm kang (heated brick bed), smiling as he watched the brigade leader walk in through the curtain.
"It's good that you're back. There's something I need your help with."
Having dealt with Zhao Youcai for a long time, the captain also understood Zhao Youcai's personality: speak directly and never beat around the bush.
