Li Bowen finally understood. It turned out that the old man was not really enthusiastic, but was deliberately leading them to take the bait.
This was clearly a hard-to-get approach, but the smile on his face became even brighter: "Oh, look, what do you say? We are really blind and blind! No! Thinking that you are the old man of Director Wang’s family, then this matter will be much easier to handle!”
“Hahahaha, don’t rush to be happy, I just like you. , I just decided to help you build a bridge. As for whether the negotiation will succeed in the end, that is beyond my control!" the old man replied with a smile.
"Of course, we are very grateful for your help. Fox, hurry up, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food and wine. We are going to have a few drinks with the old man tonight!" Li Bowen As he said that, he took out some money and tickets from his pocket and handed them to the fox.
On their way back, they happened to pass by a supply and marketing cooperative. Although they didn't know what was sold there, they at least wanted to express their feelings first. The fox reluctantly took the money and tickets, turned around and pushed them into the car towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Bowen followed the old man into the house and looked around curiously. This is a typical farmyard with four main rooms, a wing room on the east side, and a shed for storing sundries on the west side.
After walking into the house, he asked: "Uncle, how many people are there in your family now?"
While the old man was busy fiddling with the stove, he replied: "It turns out that Ah, there are seven people in our family. My wife and I, plus five children. Later, the children all got married and lived separately. Two years ago, my wife also left. Now it’s just me and my old girl living together!”
Li Bowen said with a smile: “You are so lucky to have five children!”
The old man said helplessly. Shaking his head: "There is no such thing as good luck, it's just an endless worry. No, my old girl is almost twenty years old, and she hasn't found her husband's family yet. She doesn't even have a serious job. She spends all day idle at home. "She's here!"
Li Bowen comforted him: "Hey, with Director Wang's relationship, it shouldn't be difficult to find a job for her!"
Old Man Wang sighed heavily: " It's not that easy! The jobs in this commune are limited, and everyone is watching. It's hard to arrange. Even if he is the director, he can't use his power for personal gain!"
"Then he can't go to the city! Find one for her?" Li Bowen asked.
"I have looked for it before, but my family used to be poor, and the little money she had was used to support her brothers in school. This girl has no education, does not know a few words, and is not willing to do hard work. It turns out that The one I arranged came back after working for a few days. Can you tell me which other unit is willing to take her in?" the old man said helplessly.
Li Bowen’s mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what you said.The girl was pampered, but her parents didn’t let her go to school for the sake of their son:
You said she endured hardship and was tired. I guess she wasn’t given any work to do. She couldn’t endure hardship herself and didn’t want to be tired. It is indeed difficult for such people to find a suitable job.
He couldn't help but feel a headache. It was really troublesome to arrange work for her. She couldn't do easy tasks, and she was too tired and unwilling to do them. She had to think about it carefully.
The old man saw Li Bowen deep in thought, waved his hand and said: "Hey, what are you doing telling me all this? Come on, I have some good tea here, make it for you to try." After that, he got up and went Make tea.
An old man and a young man were sitting in the room drinking tea and chatting. Time passed quickly, and after about half an hour, a crisp voice came from the yard, interrupting their conversation.
"Dad, there is someone who said he was coming to our house. Did you get him back?"

Hearing the sound, the two people got up and walked out, and saw a girl leading the fox standing in the yard. Old man Wang quickly responded: "Yes, yes, I brought it back, Xiao Li Ah, let me introduce to you, this is my old daughter, Wang Chunni, Nier, this is Brother Li, that is Brother Hu, call someone quickly."
Wang Chunni glanced at Li Bowen with a small face. He immediately became popular and shouted softly: "Hello, Brother Li, Brother Hu!"
Li Bowen also took a careful look at the girl. She was a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a delicate and fair face. She has two braids and is wearing blue trousers and a floral cotton-padded jacket. Although she is not very beautiful, she still looks very delicate.
Looking at Old Man Wang’s appearance and thinking about Director Wang’s appearance, he even suspected that this girl was Old Man Wang’s biological child!
"Hello, Miss Chunni!" Li Bowen agreed with a smile.
Wang Chunni's face turned redder now, and her fingers kept pinching the corners of her clothes, as if she were a little daughter.
"Chunni, don't be stunned, quickly take the things from your brother Hu, go next door and ask your sister-in-law to come over and cook. They will eat at our house today!" Wang The old man ordered.
The girl responded, quickly took the things she just bought from the fox, put them in the kitchen, and then turned around and went out.
Old man Wang enthusiastically led the two of them into the house again, and continued to drink tea and chat.
As time passed by, the sky gradually darkened.
Finally, Director Wang returned home from get off work. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Bowen and Fox sitting in the room. He was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Chief Li, you are really powerful. You even found them in my house." < /p>
"Hahaha, we are also lucky. We met your old man, and he will come back as a guest!" Li Bowen explained with a smile.
"Since we are here, let's have dinner together. Come and sit down, everyone!" Director Wang greeted the two of them to sit down, and then looked at Old Man Wang, "Dad, I'm going to see if the meal is ready. "
"Don't go, Chuni asked her sister-in-law to come over and make it. It will be served right away," Old Man Wang said with a smile.
After a while, the food was served. When Wang Chunni was serving the food, she couldn't help but glance at Li Bowen. Old Wang just smiled and said nothing.
At the dinner table, everyone was chatting while eating. Of course Director Wang knew the reason for Li Bowen’s visit. After a few glasses of wine, he went straight to the topic: “Chief Li, it’s not that I don’t agree with you. It’s really true. There are so many people coming! I can’t decide who I want to give to or not.”
“Director Wang, I know you are in trouble, but there are thousands of people in our factory! The employees are all waiting to get some meat during the Chinese New Year. Do you think this will work? Just tell me what our commune needs. I will go back and report to the leaders to try to meet the needs of our commune. In addition, I heard that the Spring Festival Sister Ni doesn’t have a job yet. I’ve solved this problem. What do you think?”
Director Wang lowered his head and thought for a moment: “In this way, our commune will prepare this for next year. We need to build more pig pens, and the steel and concrete have not yet been provided. If you can solve the problem, then I will discuss it with the cadres in the commune. How about giving you ten pigs?"
