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

Yang Dalin thought he would have to work a few more trips with his mentor, Brother Tian, ​​today.

Then a phone call came in, and I was about to be rehired.

The call was from Director Hou.

Tell him to talk to Station Chief Qi Desheng and give him a separate task.

He should bring his personal equipment and wait at the entrance of the freight station; a vehicle will come to pick him up soon.

After receiving the call, Yang Dalin first went to the dispatch room to tell Sister Yan.

He said he had another task to complete.

We don't know when he'll be back yet, but he'll try his best to come back before the Spring Festival.

Tell Sister Yan not to worry, and also send a message to Auntie.

Although Qi Yanhua was reluctant to let him go, she resolutely supported his work and told him to go without worry.

She will stay home and wait for him to come back.

Yang Dalin then ran to the convoy to tell Captain Li and his mentor.

Tian Xueyi patted him on the shoulder: "Be careful."

Captain Li said the same thing.

Yang Dalin went to the security office at the entrance and collected his two rifles.

Put it in a canvas bag and carry it on your back.

Amidst Qi Yanhua's reluctant gaze, he got into the car and left.

The person who drove to pick him up was Gao Xiaolong, one of Director Hou's top lieutenants.

Gao Xiaolong and Yang Dalin had long been familiar with each other.

As soon as Yang Dalin got into the car, he greeted Gao Xiaolong warmly: "Brother Xiaolong, do you know where we're going this time?"

Yang Dalin certainly wouldn't directly ask what the mission was.

Because there are some things that Director Hou will keep secret from Gao Xiaolong.

Just like last time, Gao Xiaolong was unaware of the situation.

This is a matter of principle.

It's not that I don't trust the subordinates who have risked their lives for me.

The Gao brothers, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, were used to this kind of department; they didn't ask questions they shouldn't ask or inquire about things they shouldn't ask.

So Yang Dalin only asked if he knew where they were going to carry out the mission.

If Gao Xiaolong knew and told everyone, then it means the mission wasn't as secretive as the last one.

Sure enough, Gao Xiaolong smiled and replied, "I do know, it's still the Northwest."

But I don't know exactly what they do.

The director told me to take you directly to the military airport in the western suburbs; he'll be waiting for you there.

Okay, Yang Dalin probably already knows.

It's probably still going to be the experts and scientists who get to eat meat.

When I last saw Fu Shuai, he mentioned this.

It would be good to go.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, those precious scientists and countless unsung heroes also need to eat well.

I'm willing to do this myself.

By the way, we can also share some of the meat we got with the station and Dou Xiaolong's group.

After all, I promised Deputy Director Dou that I would get some New Year's goods for their unit.

It just so happens that it's on my way.

This time, we're not allowed to travel by car; we'll just take a plane, which will save a lot of time on the journey.

This is good; I won't have to suffer on the way.

Otherwise, it would take too much time on the road.

When Yang Dalin and Gao Xiaolong arrived at the military airport, Director Hou was there as well.

Fu Shuai was also there.

Yang Dalin quickly went up and saluted the big boss.

Fu Shuai warmly shook Yang Dalin's hand: "Comrade Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

I didn't want you to go through so much trouble.

However, things have also reached a tense point over there.

They were working day and night on their research, and it really broke my heart to see them like that.

The meat you sent last time wasn't much left, and I was thinking I should at least give them something good to eat for the New Year.

So I'll have to ask you to make another trip.

Thanks a lot."

"Commander, it's not hard work. Compared to their hard work, I'm not tired at all. This is what I should do."

I am proud and honored that I was able to help.

"Good, good, you young comrade have a high level of awareness."

Your minister has shown you the blueprints for the large courtyard you wanted, right?

That set was chosen for you personally.

Are you satisfied?

"Thank you, sir. I am very satisfied. I have already visited the site and it is quite good."

"Okay, I'm satisfied."

This time, we flew directly to Bayan City on the grassland and got off the plane.

The person you're dealing with is the same old acquaintance from last time, the escort team leader you met on that escort mission, Captain Jing, Comrade Jing Yuhui.

"Your relationship with him is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Oh, Captain Jing? We're quite familiar with each other. We worked together for almost twenty days. Captain Jing is very conscientious and responsible."

"Yes, this time he will be leading a support team behind you. He has already brought people to wait for you in Bayan City."

You can just communicate directly with him.

You still need to be careful when you go back.

If anything happens, send him a telegram and ask him to come and meet you.

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, Comrade Hou Yufeng, is there anything else you want to tell Comrade Xiao Yang?"

"Sir, I don't have much to say, just tell Comrade Yang to be careful and come back safely," Director Hou said.

Seeing that Director Hou had nothing to say, Yang Dalin wanted to make a request himself.

So Fu Shuai noticed Yang Dalin's hesitant expression.

Fu Shuai said directly, "Comrade Yang, is there something you want to say? If not, just speak up."

Yang Dalin scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Fu Shuai, Director Hou, could I bring back some extra meat this time for our station and the railway police station next to our station?"

I've agreed to what our station chief and Deputy Director Dou Xiaolong of the branch office said.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, our colleagues at the station and the branch office are also short on cash.

Fu Shuai laughed after hearing this: "Of course."

After all, you work for the Ministry of Railways.

It's good that you can think about the collective.

"How about I allocate you a freight train car and transport it to Beijing?"

One freight car can carry forty tons of goods.

This carriage isn't full, but it could easily hold twenty tons.

That's 40,000 jin of meat.

Even if each person received ten jin (5 kg), let alone five jin (2.5 kg), it would be enough for four thousand people.

That's more than enough.

Last time, Yang Dalin only hunted two hundred tons of game such as gazelles.

One-tenth of the work done in one carriage is more than enough.

Yang Dalin immediately saluted again: "Thank you, sir, and Director Hou. If our station and branch bureau can't distribute all the goods in one carriage, then I'll send some to Marshal Fu. Please send some to Hai Zili and also to Director Hou, so that Director Hou's subordinates can have a good New Year."

If someone of Fu Shuai's caliber wants to eat meat to their heart's content, there's absolutely no problem.

However, this first generation of leaders was quite self-aware and did not use their privileges for their own benefit.

They also eat a fixed amount each day.

Everyone likes more meat from their prey.

But Fu Shuai still said, "We have no problem. You should prioritize supplying the Northwest. If there's a real shortage, you can ship some back to meet the needs of your station and that branch first, and then we'll talk about it."

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, the plane has been checked and is ready for takeoff. You can get on board now."

I await your good news of victory.

After saluting again, Yang Dalin boarded a military aircraft that was going his way alone.

The military aircraft also contained some cargo and several fully armed soldiers.

They were all wrapped in thick cotton-padded coats and quilts, watching him quietly.

As soon as Yang Dalin entered, the cabin door was immediately closed.
