The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

After saying that, Yang Dalin tried to run away.

Director Hou called him back again: "Wait a minute."

Yang Dalin turned around: "What's wrong, Lao Hou?"

Is there anything else?

Director Hou opened the drawer and took out a thick envelope.

Hand it to him.

Yang Dalin asked, "What's this?"

The envelope was not sealed, and Yang Dalin saw that it contained a stack of money and a stack of tickets.

Yang Dalin tried to return the money to Comrade Lao Hou, saying, "Comrade Lao Hou, this won't do. I can't accept your money."

"Haha, you're overthinking it. How could so much money be mine?"

This is a reward from your superiors.

I know you like to buy something to bring home every time you go on a business trip.

It was specially approved by the higher authorities.

Otherwise, if you don't bring money or tickets, how will you buy them?

When you went on your mission, you had nothing on you, right?

You've done another great service this time, saving us from huge losses.

The leader said that your contributions will be recorded, and he will specially approve some money and tickets to supplement your and your family's nutrition.

I'm worried that you and your family won't have an easy time during this special period.

Yang Dalin naturally couldn't say that his space actually contained money and tickets.

However, he did not have some of the local specialty tickets.

Moreover, this high-ranking official probably also thought that Yang Dalin was having a hard time.

Since it was a special approval, Yang Dalin naturally didn't stand on ceremony.

Yang Dalin withdrew his hand and put the envelope in his pocket: "Since it's a reward, I won't stand on ceremony. Please give my thanks to the leader."

"You brat, aren't you going to count?"

"Sigh, it's all the leader's goodwill, why bother counting it?"

"You, you, you should count it. It's five hundred yuan in total, and there are quite a few receipts. You should count them and then sign here for me."

Otherwise, my superiors might think I embezzled the money.

Yang Dalin had no choice but to take out the envelope again and count the money and tickets.

Then I signed my name for Director Hou.

Director Chao said, "Thank you, Lao Hou. I'm going to buy some things now. I'll bring you some later."

After saying that, Yang Dalin ran away.

It's already September, and autumn has arrived.

There are still plenty of local fruits and such.

Fruits like early-ripening pomelos, tangerines, kumquats, longans, mangoes, oranges, figs, and star fruit.

Yang Dalin bought a huge pile.

Anyway, they came in military trucks.

And I'll be taking a military plane back tomorrow morning.

It won't spoil if left out.

Moreover, Yang Dalin secretly stuffed a lot of stuff into his spatial storage when the two soldiers helping him weren't paying attention.

Besides fruit, Yang Dalin also bought a lot of local specialties.

Yang Dalin also bought a lot of local specialties such as local rice wine, jasmine tea, dried longan, dried abalone from Lianjiang, and dried butterflies from Pingtan.

People in the market all assumed that Yang Dalin and his group were from the military and were making purchases, so they all gave Yang Dalin very cheap prices.

The two soldiers who came to help only knew how to load the trucks, trip after trip.

As for how much money Yang Dalin spent, they had no idea.

When Yang Dalin comes across something good, he naturally buys as much as he can.

I spent several thousand of the money in the space.

Neither of the two soldiers saw it.

After buying these, we went to a nearby fishing village.

They also bought a lot of dried seafood from someone else.

This trip was a great success.

Give some fruit to the two soldiers who helped.

Yang Dalin packed these items up again that night for easier transport the next day.

Most of the easily damaged fruits naturally went into the space, while a small amount remained outside.

They even prepared a bag of things for each of Director Hou and Gao Xiaolong.

The next day, when he was leaving the camp to catch his flight, Director Hou was stunned when he saw all the bags and asked him, "Good heavens, how many did you buy? So many bags!"

"Hehe, not much, I've spent all my money from yesterday."

At that time, 500 yuan had a lot of purchasing power, as many fruits were only a few cents per kilogram.

If Yang Dalin were to buy all the fruit, good heavens, that would be incredible.

Fortunately, there were many other things, otherwise Yang Dalin wouldn't have been able to transport them all in one truck.

"You little rascal, couldn't you have kept some money to take home?"

"Did you find a free airplane?"

"That's right, bringing a few of us is the same as bringing some things for me."

Don't worry, Comrade Hou, I'll send some things to the pilots and the airport.

I can't afford to cheer someone on, but I can certainly bring them some fruit.

"Okay, you little brat, I give up."

"Hurry up, don't waste too much time."

The soldiers helped Yang Dalin load his things onto a truck.

The group quickly arrived at the military airport.

If I hadn't given them something, they would have definitely been furious.

However, the plane was indeed fast, and Yang Dalin arrived at the Beijing Airport a few hours later.

Upon arriving in Beijing, someone came to pick up Director Hou and his group.

However, they also arrived in a Jeep.

Even a jeep can't carry that much stuff.

Yang Dalin had no choice but to find a phone and call the station.

Qi Desheng agreed to send a car to pick him up immediately.

At this point, Director Hou said, "Since someone is coming to pick you up, I won't worry about it anymore. You can go back now anyway. I have to hurry back to my workplace; I still have a lot of things to finish up."

"Wait for your company truck to pick you up."

"Okay, Comrade Lao Hou, Brother Xiao Long, goodbye."

After seeing the two people off, Yang Dalin continued to guard his dozen or so sacks.

After waiting for more than an hour, the company truck finally arrived.

It was Captain Wang from the convoy who arrived.

They were driving the same car that Yang Dalin and his master were driving.

Since no one is driving this car right now, it'll be available for Captain Wang to drive.

Yang Dalin hadn't expected the other person.

It turned out that he had taken in a new underling in a small county in Hebei Province, named Yuan Qiao.

It turns out that Yuan Qiao was transferred to the freight station at the beginning of this month.

Yang Dalin was out on a mission at that time and wasn't there.

Yang Dalin was gone for almost a month.

Yuan Qiao was temporarily assigned to the same team as Captain Wang, driving the same car that Yang Dalin and his team shared.

The younger brother was naturally very happy to see the boss.

Yang Dalin hadn't touched his car in a long time.

They immediately ushered Yuan Qiao to the back of the car.

The younger brother, Yuan Qiao, felt wronged, but upon hearing that the fruit in the back carriage was free to eat, he was relieved.

Then they immediately and eagerly climbed into the back of the car.

Yang Dalin took out some more and placed them in the driver's cab, so that Captain Wang could eat while he chatted with him about things at the station.

He himself drove the truck.

The station hasn't changed much. Apart from two injured people recovering from their injuries, there are two new people who have arrived: Ma San and Yuan Qiao, both of whom are related to Yang Dalin.

They've also been running some short distances recently.

Because of the previous incident, Qi Desheng ordered that all drivers at the station must carry both long and short guns when they go out on trips, whether it's a short or long journey.

You can take the pistol home and keep it with you at all times.

When boarding the train and leaving the station, you must bring a long gun.

Moreover, each time a train departs, a security guard is assigned to escort each carriage.

This is not only to protect the safety of drivers.

Furthermore, the vehicles and the goods they were carrying represented enormous wealth.

This must be taken seriously.
