Chapter 180: Not a good person

Except for socializing, Li Xuewu doesn't drink much usually, even though there is no shortage of wine on the side of the inverted room.

His current position is called a cadre, and he is also a section chief of an important powerful department.

But in the end, he is a grassroots manager. The departments he manages all have night duty posts. As long as there is a night shift in the posts he manages, he has to bear the risk of sudden emergencies at night.

If one day there is a sudden event in the steel mill or the street, not to mention whether his smell of alcohol will leave a bad impression on superiors and the masses.

Just say if he needs to fight on the front line, if something happens, how much of a blow will his family suffer.

The family members haven't slept at this point. Today, the eldest brother is reading at the desk as usual. Li Xuewu took a look, it seems to be electromechanical. This eldest brother's knowledge is getting more and more mixed.

He took the hot towel handed by his mother, wiped his face, soaked it in hot water again, and applied it to his face and head. After four or five times, he finally forced the smell of alcohol out of the back of his head.

This method was not created by Li Xuewu; Yan Shifan, the little cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, often used this trick.

Yan Song, the first assistant of the Jiajing period, was old. When serving the Jiajing Emperor, who had many problems and tricky questions while on duty in the palace, sometimes his brain couldn't turn around and he couldn't deal with the Jiajing Emperor, Yan Song would send someone to send a letter to his son Yan Shifan at home to ask for a plan.

This Yan Shifan loved things that men today love: money, women, wine.

Sometimes he was drunk, and when his father asked for a plan, he was afraid of delaying things. I don't know who came up with such a high trick.

Apply a hot towel to the face and head, force yourself to sweat, bring the smell of alcohol out of the body, and achieve the effect of sobering up.

Of course, this trick varies from person to person. Li Xuewu sweats when he drinks, and he must sweat from the back of his head. As long as he sweats, he can definitely sober up.

The hot towel full of alcohol smell was snatched by his mother to wash. Li Xuewu smiled and picked up Li Shu, who was lying on the kang looking at him with big eyes.

"Oh, daughter, you haven't slept yet."

"Giggle~"

Being picked up by Li Xuewu and shaken in his arms, Li Shu waved her little hands and made a happy laugh.

This laugh was very crisp, and even Li Shun, who was looking at Li Xuewu's smell of alcohol and wanted to say something, relaxed his brows.

"What did your Third Master look for you for? Why did he think of looking for you to drink?"

Liu Yin asked while washing the towel.

Not only Li Xuewu felt strange, but even Liu Yin, who was busy at home, felt incredible.

That family across the door is the top-level calculator of living a life. It is considered the most capable master among the neighbors. Teacher Yan can be considered a small owner, that is, he can peel the abacus.

Seeing that the child didn't mean to sleep, Li Xuewu walked back and forth in the hall holding her, and smiled at Zhao Yajun, who was sitting with his sister-in-law.

These two sisters really look alike. The sister-in-law didn't read with the eldest brother in the south room today, obviously waiting for his news.

"What else could it be? It's about the steel mill recruiting workers. Otherwise, unless the sun comes out from the west, I can eat their family's food and drink their family's wine."

"When I was a child, I played with their children. When there was something to eat, the Third Master's wife would drive me away before giving it to Yan Jiecheng. Today, it's considered unprecedented."

Liu Yin said dissatisfiedly: "You've only been working for a few days, and you're taking on their family's business. If you don't handle it well, that Third Master can talk about you to the whole street. The child's business is the one he talks about the most."

Li Xuewu knew that the Third Master had played tricks behind his back, so he hit the Third Master with a stick today.

It's useless to scold this Yan Old Calculator, and it's even worse to hit him. You have to start from the place he hurts the most. Now Yan Jiecheng's entry is one stick, and there is another stick waiting for him when he becomes a regular worker later. It depends on his performance.

Besides, the eldest son entered the factory, can't the second son enter? If the second son isn't allowed in, the family won't be hot, right~

Just watch, sons have the benefits of sons, and having more sons is a creditor looking for~

There is still the third one waiting, the Third Master has enough to suffer.

"Hi, isn't it because the guard team is short of manpower? The personnel department asked me to decide. They are all neighbors living here, and they all begged me, so I thought about recruiting Yan Jiecheng together with Yajun."

"Although it is said that returning good for evil, how to return good, but let our family also show the people in the courtyard and the neighbors how our family conducts ourselves."

Li Xuewu spoke reasonably, but behind his back, he had already put a big stick on the Yan family's head.

It's enough for the Li family to have a second child who shocks the world. Let yourself be the villain. It's best for the family to have a good reputation.

It's really difficult for the few in the family to have no good reputation.

Hearing Li Xuewu say that Zhao Yajun's business was settled, the sister-in-law finally felt relieved, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

Li Shun saw more clearly than the women and children in the family, frowned and said: "Be careful with Yan Fugui, don't leave people with handles."

Li Xuewu nodded to Li Shun with a smile and said: "Everything is done according to the rules. He is not ignorant. What he should take must be taken, otherwise I have to pay for him? A meal of wine wants to get a temporary worker? He's beautiful."

The sister-in-law listened to the sound, sensed the doorway, got up and returned to the inner room to take out a small bag, took out a stack of money and wanted to hand it to Li Xuewu.

"Xuewu, you take this money."

"What is this for?" Seeing the sister-in-law wanting to give money, Li Xuewu asked with a frown.

Zhao Yafang wanted to stuff the money to Li Xuewu, but was dodged by Li Xuewu, so she said urgently: "Xuewu, you take it. Yajun also has to spend money when he goes to work. How can you spend money on this?"

Li Xuewu held the child and hid towards Liu Yin, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't tear with me. I'm holding the child. Hurry up and put it away. If I take your money for Yajun's business, what will it become?"

Liu Yin also said: "Yes, Yafang, hurry up and put it away."

Zhao Yafang told Liu Yin: "Mom, yesterday Xuewu went to my house and lent money to Xuewen. Xuewen wanted to give it to him, but he didn't want it. This..."

Seeing that Zhao Yafang was really anxious, Liu Yin glanced at Li Xuewu, and Li Shun also had the intention of asking Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu bit Li Shu's little finger, teased Li Shu, and said casually: "You don't need to worry about the money I lent to my eldest brother. That's our brothers' business. I didn't intend for him to pay it back at the time. Yajun's business, I said it, is because I value his ability. It's two different things from Yan Jiecheng across the door."

Although she heard Li Xuewu say this, Zhao Yafang still said: "Without you Xuewu, who knows who Zhao Yajun is? There are many people who can walk dogs and hunt on the mountain. Being able to recruit him into the factory is not spending your favor."

Seeing Li Shu being teased happily by himself, Li Xuewu continued to tease her. Father and daughter don't have much time together. It's rare to have time to accompany his daughter.

Li Xuewu didn't care about the sister-in-law's politeness.

"Those who are willing to sell to me are called favors. If this favor is still counted as money at home, then I really became Huang Shiren."

Liu Yin stood up and pushed Zhao Yafang's hand back, saying: "Since Xuewu said so, you take it back. He has a bottom in his heart."

Seeing her mother-in-law pushing her back, Zhao Yafang had to take it back helplessly. She secretly decided in her heart that she must make up for this favor for the second younger brother-in-law. This is not like handling business for Li Xuewen. The younger brother of the mother's family is separated by a layer after all.

Li Xuewu pitted the Third Master because Yan Old Calculator had a bad mouth and talked nonsense, but he didn't kill him with one stick. If Yan Old Calculator really didn't offend him, he really wouldn't touch this matter. It was he who sent it to the door himself. But no matter how he treated the Yan family, he wouldn't take the sister-in-law's money. That would become something else.

Another reason is that Li Xuewu wants to bury a nail in the team under his hand, so he can receive news from below at any time, and let the people below know that he can know the dynamics below at any time, and play fewer tricks.

This is a clear move, called knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger.

After teasing Li Shu for a while, seeing her nodding off, he handed the child to his mother, said hello, and returned to the inverted room to sleep.

Tuesday morning

Li Xuewu was woken up by Old Biaozi and the others.

These people were noisy while washing their faces and eating, and didn't know where the fighting spirit came from. They got up early in the morning to decide the plan for distributing local specialties today.

These people have already started the contact work with customers, setting the distribution plan every morning, and taking the opportunity of collecting scrap to deliver the goods.

Li Xuewu got up, folded his quilt, put on his cotton-padded clothes, and got off the kang.

He washed his face and ate breakfast with them.

Before he put down the rice bowl, Zhao Yajun came into the room with his old clothes.

Seeing Li Xuewu looking at him, Zhao Yajun said: "Second brother, do I need to go back with you today? If not, please help me bring the old clothes back. If so, I'll bring them back myself."

Li Xuewu saw that Zhao Yajun still wanted to go home a bit. After all, he hadn't been so far from home, so wanting to go home was inevitable.

"Yes, have you eaten?"

"Ate, the pancakes made by the aunt." Zhao Yajun looked more relaxed today than yesterday.

Li Xuewu nodded, tidied himself up, and led Zhao Yajun out the door.

Just as he pushed the bike out of the west courtyard, he ran into Master Dou.

Before Li Xuewu could ask, Master Dou reported the progress.

"The house in the back courtyard will have radiators installed today, floor tiles laid, walls painted, and tiles glued in the bathroom. It will be finished today. Tomorrow I will ask someone to clean up the tail, and you can accept it tomorrow night."

Li Xuewu smiled and offered Master Dou a cigarette: "Then you work hard, I'll go to work first."

After saying hello to Master Dou, he took Zhao Yajun and rode to the steel mill.

Li Xuewu didn't stay at the door today. After parking the bike, he took Zhao Yajun to the logistics department, helped him get a set of guard uniforms, and let him go to the dormitory to change.

Just after saying two words to Han Yating, he saw Feng Juan coming over with a small bag on her back.

Seeing Feng Juan wearing red lipstick, Han Yating looked at Li Xuewu strangely, said hello, and went upstairs.

Since Li Xuewu pointed out that she should find a partner last time, Han Yating also started to learn to dress up, and started to get closer to Liu Fusheng. Both of them had that intention.

Or as the saying goes, a man chasing a woman is separated by a wall, and a woman chasing a man is separated by gauze.

Seeing Feng Juan more bright and moving than herself, Han Yating naturally saw Feng Juan's little thoughts, and muttered a few words in her heart when she left.

Li Xuewu and Feng Juan only said good morning to each other, and saw the big truck they agreed on yesterday parked at the gate of the office building.

The truck for field work today was equipped with an arched canopy, and the top of the canopy was sealed with felt cloth, which had the effect of wind protection like the troop transport trucks of later generations.

Li Xuewu let Feng Juan sit in the passenger seat, jumped up the curtain of the truck, saw that the rear window was empty, and told the driver to stop at the gate of the guard team.

The driver started the car and drove to the gate. When he arrived at the gate of the guard team, seeing someone waiting, he stepped on the brake.

Li Xuewu stood by the rear door and saw Zhao Yajun, wearing a neat guard cotton uniform and yellow rubber shoes with fur, standing there holding Hei Zi, looking at himself.

Hey, Buddha relies on gold, people rely on clothes.

This young man looked much more energetic after wearing the uniform. From a distance, he thought he was a soldier.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Come up, what are you standing there for?"

Zhao Yajun grinned, let go of the rope in his hand, and pointed at the rear carriage to Hei Zi.

Hei Zi looked at the height of the rear carriage, ran two steps, "bounced" onto the rear carriage, stepped on the carriage board with his hind feet, and rushed inside.

Zhao Yajun held Li Xuewu's hand and climbed onto the car by stepping on the rear carriage board.

Seeing Hei Zi honestly leaning beside Zhao Yajun, Li Xuewu walked to the front and told the driver to drive. He himself leaned against the rear window to sit, which was convenient for pointing the way.

Li Xuewu didn't sit in the front, and Feng Juan felt a great pity. Seeing Li Xuewu by the small window, she could talk.

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the truck drove out with a thud. When it got on the main road, it drove even faster.

Li Xuewu pointed the way, turned his head and saw Zhao Yajun sitting beside him quietly holding the dog, and touched Hei Zi's head with his hand.

"Did they feed Hei Zi this morning?"

"Brother Wang said he fed him, bones and stuff left over from the cafeteria's hospitality last night."

Li Xuewu nodded and stopped talking to Zhao Yajun, but dealt with Feng Juan in the front. This girl went out for field work, and she was excited when she came out, talking non-stop.

The shock absorption of the truck at this time was really nothing to say. Just for a while, he felt that his internal organs were displaced.

He was really afraid that he wouldn't have to practice, and his internal organs would be displaced and he would become an immortal directly. He simply stood up, grabbed the canopy beam and swayed, which made him feel better.

Seeing this, Zhao Yajun also got up, holding Hei Zi and grabbing the crossbeam, swaying with Li Xuewu.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that standing was more comfortable.

The big truck swayed into a small mountain village.

Last time Li Xuewu's side tricycle could attract a group of children to watch, now that a big truck came, it attracted all the men, women, and children in the village to watch.

Li Xuewu asked the driver to park the car in front of Zhao's house.

Seeing Old Man Zhao come out to greet him, Li Xuewu jumped out of the car and hurriedly said hello.

"Old man, why come out in this cold weather? We are not outsiders."

Although Old Man Zhao knew that his grandson was coming back to handle the procedures these few days, he didn't expect it to be sent by a big truck.

Seeing Li Xuewu leading a female comrade and a driver bringing his grandson back, he was even more surprised.

"Xuewu is here. What are you guys?"

Li Xuewu introduced the driver and accountant Feng Juan to Old Man Zhao, and was led into the house by Old Man Zhao.

This time, he didn't see Zhao Gen and Zhao Gen's family. Yamin and Yating were not at home either. Only the old man and the old lady led Zhao Yaping at home.

After entering the house, Old Man Zhao let a few people sit on the kang, but Li Xuewu and the others had things to do, so they all sat on the edge of the kang.

Zhao Yajun put down the clothes bag and hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water for a few people.

Seeing his eldest grandson wearing a uniform, the old man was very satisfied, and the old lady also hurriedly got off the kang to help boil water.

Li Xuewu saw Yaping lying on the kang doing homework with a pencil stub, and wanted to open his mouth to call someone, but seeing the driver and Feng Juan enter, he hid back.

"Don't recognize me?"

"Recognize, second brother!" The little girl answered crisply.

Li Xuewu smiled, took out a dozen pencils tied with rubber bands from his bag, and ten notebooks and handed them to the girl.

"Remember, call second brother first next time before giving."

Seeing this "second brother" give her so many pencils and notebooks, the girl was stunned for a moment, biting her lip and not daring to take them.

Seeing the old man wanting to be polite, Li Xuewu put the notebooks and pencils beside the girl's exercise book.

"Remember to ask your eldest brother for stationery money and school money in the future. Study hard, and like your eldest sister, test out, go to university, and walk out of this mountain."

The girl nodded understandingly, put down the pencil stub fixed with sorghum stalks in her hand, picked up the pencil brought by Li Xuewu and looked at it carefully, touched the clean notebook again, and smiled at Li Xuewu.

"Tha... thank you second brother."

This scene of Li Xuewu and Zhao's little daughter was seen by the villagers who were surrounded and watching at Zhao's house, and they were all discussing where Zhao's family got such generous relatives.

Sending stationery is fine, why is there a truck? Isn't their daughter married to a doctor's son?

Zhou Lao Liu's daughter-in-law in the front courtyard knew some things. The one who looked at Li Xuewu from the window when Li Xuewu went to their house to buy a dog was her.

This little woman explained to the crowd who were watching that this was Zhao Yafang's second younger brother-in-law, an official in the city, and it was in her house that he bought the dog last time.

This explanation led to a lot of discussion. No one expected that the stubborn child Zhao Yafang's in-laws were so powerful. Who would have thought that the yellow-haired girl back then really flew onto the branch and became a phoenix.

Li Xuewu nodded and said to the old man: "Old man, this time I'm not just here to handle procedures for Yajun. With the leader's consent, our steel mill also wants to buy 9 more hunting dogs, and wants to recruit a few guard team members who can use dogs in the mountains."

As soon as Li Xuewu finished speaking, the crowd outside the window "boomed" and exploded.

What did the person in the leather jacket in the house say?

Buy a dog?

Recruit people?

Looking at the steel mill logo on the big truck, who didn't know that this was a cadre from the steel mill coming to recruit people.

It was heard before that there were people coming to the countryside to recruit temporary workers, but they started to clear out in the 50s and early 60s, and no one had been recruited in the countryside since then. People in the city couldn't be arranged, how could they come to the countryside to recruit.

The opportunity to reach the sky in one step is right in front of them. Those who are smart have already run home, not to lead the dog, but to find their children to come over.

Those who are not too old or too young hate that their age is not suitable, and their teeth are itching with anxiety.

Old Man Zhao was also stunned. Wasn't it said that Yajun would be taken away? How could he want so many dogs and people all of a sudden.

"Xuewu, is what you said true?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Old man, the steel mill is expanding. Originally, it was not recruiting outside, but seeing Yajun's ability and the role of hunting dogs, the factory leaders decided to specially recruit a group of hunters who can use dogs into the guard team to build a specialized police dog team."

Old Man Zhao said to Zhao Yajun, who was pouring water: "Stop being busy, give the kettle to your grandma. Your parents are following your aunt's husband to the threshing floor to ferment manure. Go call them over, give the water to your grandma, hurry up."

Zhao Yajun promised and walked out. Seeing Zhao Yajun wearing really neat clothes, not feeling it before, but now looking at Zhao Yajun with no patches on his clothes, wearing a cotton military cap and walking out, everyone had little thoughts, and more people ran home.

The old lady greeted a few people to drink water, and Li Xuewu was polite to them for a few words.

Feng Juan couldn't stand this kind of rural house, short, dim, and only after talking for so long did her eyes adapt to the light in the house.

She held the tea bowl made of rice bowls and took a small sip embarrassedly.

The driver didn't care about this. Running cars outside, he had even drunk water from water channels in the fields.

Perhaps thirsty, the driver drank water with a slurping sound, but except for politely taking Li Xuewu's cigarette, he didn't speak again.

Li Xuewu was not worried about whether there were young people who could use dogs, but worried about the number of hunting dogs.

"Old man, can the village receive 9 good hunting dogs? I want the kind that can still breed."

Old Man Zhao calculated in his heart and said: "I haven't been to the mountain for a long time, but I think it should be enough. One person's training method is one way, but the ability is about the same."

After speaking, Old Man Zhao also pointed to the few remaining onlookers and said: "You didn't see that so many people were missing. You don't even need to go out and find them yourself in a while, they will send them to you. The dog you collected from Zhou Lao Liu last time was envied by them for a long time."

"Every family doesn't have enough food for themselves, let alone food for dogs."

"Now you are here again, of course they are willing to sell the dog to you. Wait, wait for Mancang to come and help you handle it."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It saves me a lot of trouble to have my aunt's husband help me handle it."

Saying that, he offered the old man another cigarette. Don't rush, wait slowly.

Before Yin Mancang came, the families who led the dogs and children came first, shouting and yelling in the courtyard.

Old Man Zhao couldn't help it. For Li Xuewu and the others, the countryside at this time is like this. Whenever an outsider comes, many women will borrow the excuse of visiting to watch.

If the attraction is great, they may watch outside the window, just wanting to see what people outside the village look like and how they talk.

For the villagers, the Zhao family is a villager, and they are all fellow villagers. How can they be embarrassed to drive people out, and they have to politely invite those with status into the house.

Just in the time of waiting, three small team leaders have already come, and there are also accountants of the small team.

Those who came in were all intimidated by Li Xuewu's momentum, and talked to Old Man Zhao politely, but all nailed their eyes on Li Xuewu.

These three people who came to the Zhao family, anyone can see that this is the master in the leather jacket. So those who have ideas are aiming at Li Xuewu, wanting to talk, but Li Xuewu is too slippery and doesn't talk about recruitment, so these people in the house are all scratching their heads.

Just smoking cigarettes and praising Li Xuewu.

In the time of speaking, Yin Mancang led Zhao Gen's family and ran back.

Yin Mancang first looked at the big truck in front of Zhao's house, confirmed the words on the car, took a few big breaths, stabilized his mood, and then walked into the house.

Seeing the villagers surrounding the window in front of the door, Yin Mancang frowned first, but didn't say anything, squeezed away the people at the door, and drilled into the house.

"Xuewu is here. Didn't drink well last time, go to my house to drink today, let's have some more." Yin Mancang was very enthusiastic, greeting Li Xuewu with a smile on his face.

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes, shook hands with Yin Mancang, and said politely: "Aunt's husband is busy?"

Yin Mancang signaled the few small team leaders in the house to make room, and laughed: "Hi, isn't this preparing manure for spring plowing? Stuffing grass under the manure pile, preparing to light it in early spring to ferment manure."

This is a topic of finding words. Li Xuewu doesn't care about the work in the village, and Yin Mancang didn't say too much.

Seeing Li Xuewu laughing and chatting with himself, Yin Mancang was a bit anxious, coughed twice and asked: "I just heard Yajun say that you are here to recruit workers? And want to buy dogs?"

Li Xuewu nodded, and without looking at the anxious expressions of the people inside and outside the house, said slowly: "Aunt's husband, last time I went back and let Yajun test Hei Zi's ability for the leader, the leader was very satisfied."

Hearing Li Xuewu mention Zhao Yajun, everyone in the house looked at Zhao Yajun in unison.

Winter cotton hat, blue cotton clothes, yellow rubber shoes with fur, this is completely different from the honest Zhao family eldest boy in the previous impression.

Looking at the envious eyes of the crowd, Zhao Yajun was a bit shy and wanted to lower his head, but was kicked on the heel by his father, poked in the back, and stood up again.

Zhao Gen was thinking about his son being able to take this opportunity to find a good marriage. There are not many opportunities to show his face like this. Didn't he see those old ladies watching the crowd looking at his son? This is a large-scale "If You Are the One" scene, but the one looking at the man is the mother-in-law.

Yin Mancang also nodded at his eldest nephew. Two days ago, Li Xuewu didn't say in front of him that he wanted to take Zhao Yajun away. If he had known, he would have to fight for a spot for his son no matter what.

Now the opportunity has come. This time Li Xuewu came to recruit workers, he must pass through his hands. He must let his son occupy a spot to become a city person.

"Xuewu, look, if you have any requirements, just say it. I am your aunt's husband, I will definitely help you handle this matter properly."

Seeing Yin Mancang build a ladder for himself without a trace, Li Xuewu looked out the window. There was half a courtyard of 18 or 19-year-old male youths standing there.

It seems that there are really many people in this village.

Li Xuewu couldn't fool Yin Mancang for the sake of the Zhao family, and said bluntly: "Aunt's husband, this time it's for the unit. There can't be any mistakes. Look, I brought an accountant, let's be polite first and then fight."

As he said that, he pointed to Feng Juan. Yin Mancang saw Feng Juan and the driver when he entered the house, but after saying hello, the two stopped talking, looking like everything was based on Li Xuewu.

"Xuewu, aunt's husband knows, you just say it, this is public business, no one will say anything."

Li Xuewu looked at the silent small team leaders in the house and said: "I want to recruit some young people with hunting experience and who can use dogs, over 18 and under 22. Those with militia training experience are preferred, and those who can train hunting dogs are preferred. I have to see the specific number of spots. If there are not enough qualified ones in our village, I will go to other villages to see."

A small team leader standing by the window hurriedly said: "No, there are plenty of children who can hunt and use dogs. No need to go to other villages, we..."

Li Xuewu didn't pick up the topic. Whether they can or not is not something he can say. He will use these people immediately. If they are not capable, he will be the one losing face.

"As for hunting dogs, the standard should be the same as Hei Zi's. It's better to have both male and female, so that we can breed and train hunting dogs ourselves in the future."

Li Xuewu didn't say the number of spots, just didn't want Yin Mancang to control this matter.

Li Xuewu has 20 spots in his hand, 10 are specially applied for, 10 are originally to supplement the guard team. He promised Yan Jiecheng one, Zhao Yajun one, and there are at most 18 left in his hand.

But this matter has to be accommodated with Sister Xie's side. They can't all be occupied, and even if they are all occupied, they have to give the factory people an explanation.

Yin Mancang was more able to hold his breath than those small team leaders. He nodded to Li Xuewu and said to several small team leaders: "Go and notify those who haven't come in each small team. Just follow this standard. Gather in this courtyard in half an hour, and let Li Ke pick people."

Several small team leaders looked at each other and ran out of the house.

Seeing his eldest son so upright, Zhao Gen also had some thoughts about his second son, but Li Xuewu said he only wanted those over 18, so he could only roll a dry cigarette, light it, and smoke it.

Zhao Yaping didn't know what happened in the house, but seeing her father's unwilling appearance, and seeing her aunt's husband's serious appearance, she tidied up her exercise book and pencil and hid to the end of the kang, squatting in the corner of the kang cabinet.

Li Xuewu didn't care about Yin Mancang calling himself Li Ke. This is not because he is angry with himself, nor is he being polite, but because he is raising his weight in the hearts of these people. He won't make any tricks when picking people in a while.

Li Xuewu offered a circle of cigarettes to the people in the house and asked: "Can you hunt prey on the mountain now? Pigs, roe deer, etc.?"

Yin Mancang looked at his father-in-law, and seeing Old Man Zhao signaling him to speak, he said: "Your old man used to lead people to the mountain all year round. At that time, there were many big beasts. Later, there were wolf disasters and tiger disasters. Wild boars came down to harm crops from spring. Children who went to the mountain to pick pine nuts and mushrooms were even taken away by leopards. At that time, militia had to hold guns to watch."

Seeing Li Xuewu's moved expression, Yin Mancang sensitively sensed something, and said: "These years, farm work is busy, and few people go to the mountain. Wild animals will only be more, not less. Why, Xuewu, do you want to go to the mountain?"

Li Xuewu sat beside Yin Mancang and whispered: "Why? I don't know how to pick dogs? How to pick people? I don't know, but I'm picking hunters and hunting dogs. Just take them to the mountain and try it, won't you know?"

Seeing Yin Mancang frown, knowing that Yin Mancang was worried about people getting hurt in the mountain, Li Xuewu said to Yin Mancang sternly: "I brought a truck, just drive into the mountain, and the driver also brought a long gun to protect us to the greatest extent, but I can't guarantee that no one will get hurt. Those who are afraid of getting hurt, don't go."

"The steel mill is recruiting guard team members, who need to carry guns, similar to soldiers. It's not a worker who can't be blown by the wind or rained on in the workshop. There is danger, and the degree of danger is not low. You also know the nature of our factory."

Whether the danger of the steel mill's guard team members is high or not, Li Xuewu didn't know before, but he estimated it wouldn't be low in the future. Another thing is that these words must be said in advance, and they must be said to be serious, because he is afraid that problems will occur later, and family members or villagers will misunderstand.

The driver did bring a long gun, because this is the rule. Truck drivers at this time must carry guns when going out of the city for missions, long or short, regardless of whether it is a transport mission.

The driver didn't say the specific reason, and Li Xuewu knew he wouldn't say it either.

Li Xuewu just wanted to recruit a group of young people with blood, resilience, and willingness to work hard into the guard team. In the future, whether it is the steel mill or the local security mission, he will use this force.

If this force is not capable, he won't have to raise his head in front of factory leaders and local leaders, and he won't have to be the security section chief, let alone a part-time job.

This force will become a big bargaining chip in his hand if used well. For Li Xuewu, who is weaving his own power, it is an indispensable and important component.

The original appearance of the guard team was really not eye-catching. Saying it was the 358th Regiment was a compliment. Children in the city have never seen blood and dare not fight when encountering things.

Recruiting a group of young people with blood from the village is like mixing catfish into a group of sardines. The "358th Regiment" will be powerful if it wants to be.

Li Xuewu has the idea of recruiting some retired and transferred soldiers, but there is no opportunity yet. If there is an opportunity, Li Xuewu will definitely communicate with the personnel department to ask for people.

Yin Mancang knew Li Xuewu's meaning, thought for a while and said: "There are also earth guns in the village, bring them all. Borrowing your strength, we will also go to the mountain to try our luck. It's the end of the year, so it's good to have some meat."

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and whispered: "Because this is my sister-in-law's mother's family, I came to recruit people here. If I recruit people in other villages, I'm afraid someone will say something. Although there is a leader's approval, it's not good to hear."

Yin Mancang thought Li Xuewu wanted to go to other villages to recruit, which would really be a loss for the village. He couldn't miss a spot no matter what.

Yin Mancang was about to speak, but Li Xuewu pressed Yin Mancang and said: "Aunt's husband, we are real relatives, of course I think of our village. What I think is that now not only the village is difficult, but the city is also difficult. Steel mill workers can't see oil and meat once a month. If we can hit any big guy, I will take it back..."

Yin Mancang said excitedly: "Good, good, good, I understand, I understand. Don't worry, this time I will ask a few good hands to follow you into the mountain, no matter what, I will make you satisfied and return."

Seeing Yin Mancang easy to communicate, Li Xuewu naturally showed satisfaction on his face.

"Aunt's husband, if the prey in the mountain is really many and can supply the steel mill, then..."

Yin Mancang hesitated and said: "Xuewu, this... we don't go into the mountain often. Farm work can't be thrown away, and there is no way to always hit prey in the mountain."

Li Xuewu looked at Yin Mancang who couldn't turn the corner, and prompted: "It's impossible to have it in the mountain, but you can make it have it. How many people can your land use? How much food can this mountain land produce? A pig from the mountain is enough for you to be busy for a long time."

Yin Mancang shook his head and said: "Xuewu, how can you not know the form now? Now it's not allowed to..."

Li Xuewu interrupted: "Who asked you to raise it yourself and sell it? Aren't there ponds in the big mountain ditch? Wild fish are also wild animals. Besides, circle a piece in the big mountain ditch, send a dozen people to watch, catch wild rabbits to raise rabbits, catch wild boars... when the time comes, say it was caught, who knows? Aunt's husband, your control in the village won't be so bad, right?"

A door seemed to be opened in Yin Mancang's mind. No outsider has entered this poor mountain ditch for eight hundred years. Otherwise, it would be impossible to see a bunch of people following to watch the excitement when Li Xuewu entered.

The road in this big mountain is too difficult to walk. Besides, you must have an introduction letter to go out now. Few people go out, so the news is blocked, not to mention that everyone is poor and their eyes are green.

Yin Mancang couldn't hold his heart when he heard Li Xuewu's proposal. Who doesn't want to lead their villagers to get rich? Who doesn't want to eat meat every day?

"Xuewu, this... this... this works?"

Seeing Yin Mancang hesitate, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Whether it works or not, you can't ask me. You are the village secretary, you are the highest administrative official in this village."

Being said by Li Xuewu, he smiled proudly: "Your aunt's husband is still saying one thing and doing another in this village."

Li Xuewu naturally knew how great Yin Mancang's power was, and continued to persuade Yin Mancang: "If this step can be achieved, then I can help you sell the meat you hit to the steel mill, and I can also bring back the things you lack from the steel mill."

"Iron plows, iron shovels, hoes, sickles, these produced by our downstream factories don't need to be said. The steel mill has its own non-staple food factory, its own labor insurance factory, its own three industries, and even bicycles that you envy the most can be brought back."

Yin Mancang was surprised: "What you said is true?"

Li Xuewu flicked the cigarette ash and said: "It depends on your strength. If you operate well, it's not impossible to get a truck. Of course, I only make suggestions and only manage to pull strings. How to cooperate specifically depends on the communication between the steel mill logistics and you."

Seeing Yin Mancang glance at Feng Juan, he said: "However, I can apply to build the mountain here as a training base, build a police dog breeding and training base, and entrust the training tasks to the villagers. Guard team members and militia training can also be pulled into the mountain."

Hearing that the police dog training was placed here, Old Man Zhao was very excited.

"That's good, then our village will have hope."

Yin Mancang also nodded repeatedly: "Isn't it."

Li Xuewu continued: "There is coming and going. Serving a steel mill well is enough for your village to eat. Besides, I recruited so many people this time. If you make a contribution, there may be choices for recruitment of guard teams and even security in the future. Do you think it's better to farm or enter the city and factory?"

Yin Mancang didn't dare to think about the future of this poor mountain ditch, tightly grasped Li Xuewu's hand, and said excitedly: "Xuewu, this... aunt's husband really, really doesn't know what to say."

Li Xuewu patted Yin Mancang's hand and said: "Aunt's husband, one family, don't say two families' words. As long as you are the secretary of this village for one day, I will fully support your work."

Everyone lifts the flower sedan chair. Who lifts it is not lifting it. Helping one's own relatives has a private friendship, and it is also easy to communicate. Besides, Yin Mancang is not a good person. A good person can't be a village secretary. The village secretary at this time is like a local emperor, in charge of all the big and small things in the village, especially in remote areas.
