Chapter 245 Long-term Mission
"Uncle,

Whether Second Aunt and Aunt Yan took it or not, I don’t intend to say anything more.

Today I have asked Director Wang of the grain station,

He said that as long as they didn't go too far, the Military Control Commission would not pursue the matter if the neighbors took some food as payment for making fried noodles, or if there was a little loss when making fried noodles.

Since the fried noodles in our courtyard have been delivered, it means there is no problem.

Then why am I still struggling!"

Hearing He Yuzhu say that even if they took some food, they would not be held responsible, Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around, and then he confirmed again,
"Zhu Zi, is what you said true? Are the higher-ups really not going to pursue the matter?"

As soon as Yan Bugui finished asking, most of the neighbors in the courtyard looked at He Yuzhu seriously, waiting for his answer.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, He Yuzhu knew what they were thinking.
He was speechless except to sigh that he was indeed a resident of a quadrangle.

Then he shook his head and said,
"First of all, I didn't say that! Uncle Yan,

I just said that the front line of this fried noodle was urgent, and the Beiping Military Control Commission would not pursue too many details in order to complete the task quickly.
If there are more fried noodle missions in the future, I don't know if there will be any investigation into the matter of hiding food.
If you make a mistake in the future, don't say that I instigated you!

If the residents of Nanluoguxiang followed suit, the Military Control Commission would suffer heavy losses.
I can’t bear such a big responsibility.”

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, the neighbors who knew that the fried noodles task had been completed sighed, secretly lamenting that they were not smart enough and did not seize the opportunity like the Liu and Yan families.

Only Yan Bugui's eyes flickered twice and he continued to ask,
"Zhu Zi, is there any rule for making cotton-padded clothes and trousers for the superiors?"

Seeing that Yan Bugui was still unwilling to give up, He Yuzhu rejected him directly.

"I don't know about that. Why don't you go to the street government and ask what Sister Hongying and the others say?"

"You take me for a fool,

I'll go ask!
If I ask Director Li, he will definitely say there is no such thing. You have to ask to find out the answer. We can’t do that.”

Hearing him say this, He Yuzhu sneered and then retorted,

"Haha, I'm not a fool either.

Our family doesn't need anything from the Military Control Commission, so why should I ask?
Otherwise, if one or two of you cut corners and the clothes you make cannot be worn by the soldiers on the front line, I will be guilty of a great crime.

Okay, you are okay.

Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I still need to eat."

He Yuzhu had already said so much, so Yan Bugui could not ask any more questions.

Then he wanted to talk about his wife and Jia Zhangshi, but just as he opened his mouth, he remembered that the street government had no business hiding grain, so there seemed to be nothing to say.

So he changed the topic and asked,
"Lao Yi, I don't have any questions anymore. Do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that Yan Bugui finally stopped talking, Yi Zhonghai said,

"The reason why the three of us, Lao Liu, and Lao He, are holding this meeting in the courtyard today is,
In addition to discussing the war on the front line,

It's about the fight and hiding of grain between Mrs. Zhang and her friends. Now that there's no objection to the fight and hiding of grain, let's talk about another thing.

Everyone already knows that our Volunteer Army helped Goryeo defeat the United Nations forces on the peninsula and temporarily stabilized the situation on the peninsula.
However, all this is not so easy and requires support from all sides.
Our steel mill will be working overtime to produce weapons and ammunition starting tomorrow, so we may have to get off work a little later.
I don’t have that much energy to take care of everyone’s affairs.

So if anything happens in Siheyuan, I'd like to trouble Old Yan and Old Chen to keep an eye on it.
Don't make a scene like you did today."

When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai say that the steel mill would have to work overtime again, he immediately remembered the overtime work at the steel mill during the siege of Peking two years ago.

So without thinking, I blurted out,
"Old Yi, you guys are not going to be like last year, saying you're working overtime but then not coming back for several months!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others also remembered what happened the year before last, and interrupted Yan Bugui with an unhappy look on their faces.

"Old Yan, what are you talking about?

Can the Executive Yuan be compared with the previous executive offices?
The overtime work two years ago was completely forced at gunpoint by those soldiers in the superior's office. I had no choice but to go.

But our State Council has no such requirement.

This time, the higher-ups haven't done anything yet, but all the workers in our steel rolling mill have already applied to Director Lou and the military representative to work overtime and produce more weapons to fight the joint forces.

We did this because we didn't want to go back to being bald and live the hard life we ​​had before.
So we still have to come back every day, we just come back a little later, don’t get the wrong idea.

Okay, do you have anything else to do? If not, then let’s adjourn the meeting.”

After being scolded by Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui didn't want to say anything more, so he picked up the bench and went back to the front yard.

After the meeting,

As soon as He Daqing got home, he said to He Yuzhu who was eating with a bowl in his hand,
"Zhu Zi, you just heard it. You should pay more attention to the things at home in the future. If there is anything important at the branch office, come back early and tell the old lady."

He Yuzhu also knew that the war on the peninsula this time was different from any previous one.

Daxia's current military production capacity is completely insufficient to cope with this level of consumption. It can only produce as many weapons and ammunition as possible.
Naturally, he cannot lag behind in this matter.

"Okay, got it, Dad."

The next day at work,
He Yuzhu had just finished dealing with the branch office's affairs when he saw Lin Zheng gathering his comrades again to start assigning tasks.
"Comrades, yesterday's fried noodles mission was completed very well by everyone in our branch, whether it was transportation or patrol.
There was no chance for the hidden secret service agents to take advantage of the situation.

I believe everyone is familiar with the situation on the front line. Since we do not have air superiority, the kitchen teams of each unit cannot cook.
So making fried noodles will be a long-term task.

Until our air force and air defense forces are able to shoulder their responsibilities.

Our superiors gave us the task of not only patrolling and transporting goods every day, but also keeping a close watch on the spies hiding in the city.
Prevent them from attacking our warehouses and destroying the various materials we produce.

Therefore, I hope everyone will treat the upcoming tasks as a battle and never relax. "

As soon as Lin Zheng finished speaking, all the public security officers below saluted solemnly.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Seeing that the comrades were in very good spirits, Lin Zheng smiled with satisfaction and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
