Chapter 95 Return to the Factory
After saying goodbye to Duan Quanan, Li Shengli followed Lao Wu to Lao Wu's home. It was not an easy trip, so Li Shengli used money to exchange some mountain products and sweet potatoes with Lao Wu.

Li Shengli wrapped the bacon in paper, put it in a bag, and then put sweet potatoes and mountain products in it. The bacon cannot be carried directly into the yard like this, for fear of arousing jealousy.

After packing up his things, Li Shengli followed Lao Wu to the resting place. Captain Zhao of the commune arranged the people in the kitchen together. Li Shengli put his things on the cabinet against the wall, packed up, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

Lying on the bed, Li Shengli fell asleep in a daze. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by the snoring of other people in the room. Li Shengli put on his clothes in the dark and went out to the bathroom. When he came back from the bathroom, Li Shengli heard the snoring all over the room and sighed in his heart, wondering how he could sleep like this.

Lee Seung-ri covered his head and tried his best not to pay attention to the snoring in the room. He fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Li Shengli rubbed the faint dark circles under his eyes.

"Master Li, you didn't sleep well last night?" Master Sun from the second canteen said in surprise as he looked at the dark circles under Li Shengli's eyes.

"Why are you sleeping? Your snoring last night was like thunder." Li Shengli did not say anything, and Liu Hongliang was the first to complain.

Li Shengli looked at Liu Hongliang. Liu Hongliang's complexion was not very good and he had dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.

"Ah? I'm sorry. I might have been a little tired yesterday." Master Sun first exclaimed in surprise and then said with a hint of embarrassment and apology.

Li Shengli waved his hands weakly. Everything has passed. There is no use complaining now. Li Shengli had expected this.

In the morning, everyone in the cafeteria was also responsible for the breakfast of the workers in the machine repair workshop and the propaganda department. There was not so much this time, so Liu Hongliang heated up the leftover steamed buns with two-grain flour and cooked a pot of cornmeal porridge. Li Shengli cut some shredded carrots and mixed some side dishes. This was breakfast for everyone.

While having breakfast, Li Shengli noticed that Xu Damao did not look very good. He wondered if this guy did not sleep well last night or went to see his lover.

After breakfast, the people in the kitchen packed up the pots and soup buckets they brought with them. After cleaning up, they moved them to the truck with the help of the commune members. It was time to go back today. The workers in the machine repair shop also had to check the equipment with the production team and were loading it onto the truck.

He Fumin, Director Xu and the machine repair workshop director Jiang Xinjian were chatting with Captain Zhao and Director Feng. Chen Song, an officer of the Propaganda Department, was taking pictures everywhere with a camera. These things were to be kept in the archives.

After the leaders finished exchanging greetings, the people from the steel rolling mill also got on the bus with their bags. Most of them exchanged some things with the villagers. Those who had the means found a place to exchange for a chicken or a duck, while those who didn't have the means exchanged for some mountain products and local specialties. Those who had less money also exchanged for some sweet potatoes. Even Liu Xikui exchanged for some dried mushrooms, green onions and the like.

Anyway, you can't go to the countryside without bringing anything back.

After He Fumin and several other leaders got on the car in front, everyone left the commune amid the farewell calls of the members.

This time, the people on the bus who were suffering from motion sickness were not so serious, and they all knew how to deal with it. Those who felt uncomfortable put a piece of ginger cut from the kitchen in their mouths before getting on the bus. The workers in the mechanic workshop of the car in front also learned this method.

Along the way, everyone sang songs in the cold wind, endured the bumpy road, and quickly returned to the steel mill.

In the open space in front of the steel mill office building, everyone got out of the car and unloaded the things.

Chen Song clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and motioned to those who had gotten off the car to look over, as He Fumin had something to say to everyone.

Li Shengli stood in the crowd and gathered around with everyone else.

"Comrades, you have worked hard. We have completed the task very well. Jiang Xinjian, you can take all the workers in the machine repair workshop back home. Take the things back with you. You don't have to go to work today." He Fuming said to Jiang Xinjian, the workshop director of the machine repair workshop. The workers in the machine repair workshop cheered after hearing this. This was equivalent to a paid vacation.

"Chen Song, you and Xu Damao should go back to the Propaganda Department. The task of propaganda will be handed over to you." He Fumin said to Chen Song who was standing next to him. Chen Song nodded and responded beside He Fumin.

"As for the people in the kitchen, just like the people in the workshop, they don't have to go to work today." He Fumin looked at the expectant eyes of the kitchen staff, looked at Liu Hongliang, Li Shengli and others, thought for a while and said.

The people in the kitchen also cheered, and Lee Seung-ri also smiled. Why not take a rest if you can?

He Fumin waved his hand and signaled everyone to disperse and do what they needed to do. He then took Chen Song to the factory director's office to report to him.

Liu Hongliang and Li Shengli led everyone to move the kitchen utensils back to their respective kitchens.

"Hey, Shengli! You're back." The cafeteria was preparing lunch at the moment. Seeing Li Shengli and Liu Xikui coming in, Wang Tiezhu greeted them happily.

"Yes, squad leader, the factory has given us half a day off." Li Shengli joked with Wang Tiezhu with a smile.

Li Shengli walked into the kitchen while greeting others.

"You don't look well. Why did you go to the countryside to visit the young widow?" Wang Tiezhu joked with a lewd smile on his face.

The male compatriots who were busy in front of them said, "No, no, no!" They were busy with their work while quietly pricked up their ears to inquire, while the female compatriots spat softly while working.

"What? It's because of other people's snoring." Li Shengli was a little amused. Why is Wang Tiezhu so frivolous?

"Hahaha, I knew it." Wang Tiezhu laughed twice. He had been to the countryside before and knew how everyone slept. He had also been woken up by people's snoring.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. We won't need you in the kitchen today." Wang Tiezhu said with a smile.

The others nodded and the tasks were assigned.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Goodbye, everyone." Li Shengli said goodbye to everyone without letting them down.

After leaving the cafeteria, Li Shengli and Liu Xikui separated, and Li Shengli went to ride his own bicycle.

Passing by Workshop 7, you see Qin Huairu resting outside the workshop, with a slightly bald man in his thirties in front of her.

Li Shengli looked at Qin Huairu in surprise, thinking that this was the beginning, could that man be the legendary Guo Dapiezi?
Li Shengli just took a curious look, turned his head and walked away.

While dealing with the bald man beside her, Qin Huairu glanced at the bag in Li Shengli's hand. She knew that Li Shengli had accepted the mission and went to the countryside.

Qin Huairu wondered what Li Shengli brought back from the countryside. It looked like a big bag.
