"The situation has changed, and the methods and methods of work must also change."

Li Xuewu dispersed the cigarettes for Yin Mancang and Shen Guodong, and threw the rest to Lao Jiu, signaling him to help himself.

Lao Jiu took the cigarette, looked at him sheepishly, and got up with Lao Ten and others to smoke outside.

Among the thirteen Taibao, they were scattered all over the country. He was the biggest in the capital. The ninth one was named Dai Yongxing.

What are they? They are disciples.

Whose disciple?

Anyway, it doesn't belong to Li Xuewu, it belongs to whoever works for him.

"If you can't keep up with the situation, what will happen now?"

Li Xuewu saw the two of them holding cigarettes in their hands but neither of them lit them, so he knew they were concerned about their family members.

"Not to mention what I saw with my own eyes, what I heard was enough to wake me up more than a hundred times."

"Yes, I know——"

Yin Mancang pinched the filter, nodded in agreement, and said: "It will always be the case, power is stronger than people."

"I know it's not easy to do the job now."

Li Xuewu picked up the match, struck it, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "There must be a lot of sadness, right?"

"Uh-"

Yin Mancang first leaned forward and lit a cigarette, then laughed and said, "Why is it so sad?"

Seeing Li Xuewu lighting a cigarette for Shen Guodong, he sighed: "You're taking advantage, so don't be a good boy, right?"

"Hahaha--"

Li Xuewu smiled and put out the match in his hand, throwing it into the ashtray.

------------------

After dinner, Gu Ning coaxed the two children back upstairs, while Qin Jingru and her mother Liu Yin were cleaning up in the kitchen.

Yin Mancang and Shen Guodong, who came to deliver winter gifts to their families, were smoking, drinking tea and chatting with Li Xuewu in the living room.

Everyone in the family knew that Yin Mancang came to the house not just for a visit, but because he wanted to talk to Li Xuewu.

You see, when we are in the compound, everyone interacts with each other, and there is nothing embarrassing about sitting at home in the front and backyard.

But since Li Xuewu moved here after getting married, relatives or friends rarely come here.

Unless something happens, such as Shen Guodong coming to deliver rice, flour, oil and firewood, or Yu Li coming with documents.

On the one hand, he cared about Gu Ning, but on the other hand, he also cared about Li Xuewu's identity.

After all, things are different now. If there were so many people, Li Xuewu would be constrained in his work.

Even if relatives visit each other and interact normally, in the eyes of outsiders, this is still a sin of seeking personal gain.

Not to mention delivering things to his home one after another. The neighbors didn't know and thought he was greedy.

Winter came early this year, and the temperature in the mountains was several degrees lower than down below.

So potatoes, Chinese cabbage, radishes, etc. were delivered in mid-October.

It's not that the Li family can't afford autumn vegetables, nor is it just a small advantage. Besides, it's not cheap either.

Shen Guodong purchased them together and distributed them to each family, which was considered a kind of welfare.

Li Xuewu's side is more complete, with coal lumps, firewood, and firewood all arranged by Shen Guodong.

Just look at the few people in Li Xuewu's family and you will know that if they are busy with these things, they will definitely be too busy.

Liu Yin and Qin Jingru had to take care of their two children and take care of the housework. Qin Jingru had to go home at night.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning don't look like housekeepers. If you think about it, which one of these two looks like someone who knows how to buy groceries?

One for the shipping warehouse No. 1, two for the courtyard house and the Li family, one for the recycling warehouse, one for third aunt Fei Shanying, one for Wang Yamei, and one for Shazhu's house.

It has to be said that he is one of his own people, and his own business has to be taken care of, as well as his relatives and connections.

Dong Wenxue’s home, his godmother’s home, Director Ma’s home of the supply and marketing cooperative...

These are all things that come from the mountains. They are money if you bring them to the city, but they are nothing in the mountains.

But if you really want to send it home, it would be a huge favor, and the face is really enviable.

Shen Guodong seemed to be honest. No matter whose house he went to, he would either call him "aunt" or "old aunt". The neighbors obviously knew that he was here to give gifts, but they couldn't fault him.

Isn’t it much cheaper to drive a small truck to deliver winter specialties than to carry two bottles of wine to your door?

In fact, in total, the items in half a car may not be as valuable as those two bottles of wine, but it is better than the thought.

You can stop drinking, but you can’t stop eating Chinese cabbage?

In this era, Siqiucheng had a special attitude towards Chinese cabbage.

On the way back from the factory, Li Xuewu saw people on both sides of the street starting to distribute Chinese cabbage.

Good guys, they were piled up like a mountain, and they were hauled home one by one, as if no matter how much they bought, they were never too much.

Only at this time are autumn vegetables available in unlimited quantities, which are the ration vegetables throughout the winter.

If the ladies at home are good at crafts, this Chinese cabbage can be made for you in eighteen different ways.

If you are not skilled in cooking, you can eat the first meal and the next meal, and you will be better than Chinese cabbage.

Shen Guodong brings more varieties of autumn vegetables to his family. In addition to conventional autumn vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radish, and potatoes, there are also green onions, garlic, carrots, dried peppers, etc.

As a special gesture, Yin Mancang also gave me a roe deer, which is a piece of meat with skin peeled off, which is very delicate.

------------------

"Actually, our commune is doing okay this year."

Yin Mancang smiled and flicked the ash from his cigarette, touched Shen Guodong with his arm and said, "Isn't it better than in previous years? It's better than other communes!"

"That's too strong -"

Shen Guodong nodded and agreed: "The key is that there is no mess in Red Star Commune."

"Actually, there is, but it's too far away from the county seat and it's inconvenient to go up the mountain."

Yin Mancang looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said: "On the road up the mountain, we have trouble from time to time, especially when there are calls to check."

"Hehehe - it's too damaging -"

Shen Guodong said with a smile: "You can even trick your own people. I even parked my car twice."

"Then you're lucky -"

Yin Mancang glanced at him sideways and said: "Second boy, they set the nails, but they didn't pierce you!"

"They dare too!" Shen Guodong curled his lips and said: "If I catch you, I will have to kick them into the ditch."

"Hehehe——"

Yin Mancang chuckled for a while, turned to Li Xuewu and said, "Actually, he was forced to do it."

"Just tell me, it's easy to earn these two idiots——"

He tapped the palm of his hand and told Li Xuewu while making calculations: "In terms of farming, we are in a mountainous area, and the grain output is completely incomparable to that below."

"Just like this, our commune has to complete the public food quota every year. Do you think I have to worry about it?"

He bared his teeth and said with a bit of resentment and ferocity in his tone: "If we really let those grandsons who eat people's food and do nothing for others come up to the mountain, will we still be able to survive?"

"Raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, sheep, rabbits, and cattle, don't we want to live a good life?"

"Who the hell doesn't want someone to be a grandson, right?"

Yin Mancang shook his shoulders, stretched out the Chinese tunic suit he was wearing, and asked Shen Guodong.

"Yes, that's——" Shen Guodong nodded in agreement: "My grandson doesn't want to——"

"go--"

Yin Mancang laughed angrily at him and bumped him with his elbow.

The two of them had interacted with each other a lot, and they were relatives in a roundabout way, so they had a very good relationship.

Calling me uncle is a lot of fun on weekdays.

If you call me uncle, you can't be joking around.

"But to be honest, although I haven't stopped this year, it really hasn't made things difficult for me."

Yin Mancang turned back to Li Xuewu and said seriously: "Should I say it or not, the presence of the Weisan Regiment and the Red Star Factory in our village has really brought us a lot of convenience."

"Help each other—"

Li Xuewu nodded and said with approval: "Three Wei groups are talking about love between fish and water, but we are talking about true feelings."

"Hehehe——" Shen Guodong felt happy after hearing Brother Wu's nonsense, and now he laughed.

Yin Mancang didn't care, Li Xuewu said the opposite, it was clearly a matter of interest.
