"The arrangements are very good. Auntie, you and your uncle should go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow!" Li Wen smiled and thanked Zhang Xiufang.

Li Wen visited this house at noon today to put some sundries. Unexpectedly, the Sun family specially made room for him, and the beds were very clean. Judging from these details, Sun Lianying and his wife really liked Li Wen.

Don’t be an outsider!

After a night of silence, Li Wen was woken up by a rooster's crow in the morning. After the rooster crowed twice, it was already past five o'clock, and Li Wen never fell asleep again.

Seeing that it was still dark outside, Li Wen turned around and returned to the space warehouse.

After returning to the space and brushing his teeth, Li Wen fed all the livestock and read a novel for a while. He didn't leave the room until it got light around six o'clock.

"Xiao Wen got up very early. Did I wake you up by cleaning the yard?" Sun Lianying was cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard and said with a smile when he saw Li Wen.

"No, I'm used to getting up early at home, and I get up at dawn in the countryside. Uncle, give me the broom and I'll sweep it and stretch my muscles." Li Wen smiled and grabbed the broom from Sun Lianying's hand.

"You kid!"

"Come on, Xiaowen, wash your face. Your aunt's rice will be ready soon." Sun Lianying came to the steps carrying a porcelain basin.

"Jiang Dang, you guys hurry up and wash up. You have to go to school after dinner. It looks like you'll be late for school soon." Zhang Xiufang's shout came from the kitchen.

In the morning, we had polenta porridge with white radish and two steamed buns with two noodles per person. The food was really good.

After dinner, the two brothers Jian Dang and Ai Dang walked to school. No one looked after them. The little girl Sun Xiaofang was sent to the kindergarten by Zhang Xiufang.

"Come on, let's go to the work unit. You are new here, go and help clean up early and get closer to your colleagues." Sun Lianying said with a smile.

"Yeah, I get it!" Li Wen smiled and nodded.

Li Wen went to work this morning and put on work clothes. From today on, he will be a temporary buyer in a department store.

When there was no one in the office, Li Wen picked up the broom and mop from behind the door and started cleaning.

Rural children are naturally quick with their hands and feet. Li Wen cleaned a large office of fifty or sixty square meters in less than ten minutes.

After cleaning the office, Li Wen went to Sun Lianying's office to pick up a hot water bottle, then picked up two more from the office and walked to the backyard boiler room.

In these days, public units had places dedicated to heating water and heating, which were all three-meter-high blast furnaces.

"Young man, you came early enough. I've just finished boiling the water and you're here. You look familiar. Are you new?" The boiler was an old man of about sixty years old. He was sitting at the door of the boiler room drinking.

Tea.

"Good morning, uncle."

Li Wen put down the hot water bottle in his hand, smiled and said hello, and handed him a cigarette.

"The young man is nice and polite." The old man took the cigarette from Li Wen's hand, smelled it and said "good smoke", and then clamped it to his ear.

It was only half past seven, so it was still early. Li Wen was not in a hurry. He smiled and chatted with the old man, and took a look at the boiler room.

"Uncle Zhao, do you live in the boiler room?" Li Wen saw a small house in the boiler room.

"Where would I live if I didn't live in the boiler room? This is my home." The old man picked up his tobacco bag, dug a pot of dry smoke and lit it.

"Uncle, I think you have reached the retirement age, why are you still burning the boiler?" After chatting for a while, Li Wen asked his doubts.

"I'm almost fifty after I joined the army, and my hometown has been wiped out. I have no place to go, so I just make do in this boiler room." The old man was very free and easy, and he said it directly without any taboos.

"Uncle, you are so great!" Li Wen gave a thumbs up to the old man.

"We are just a big-headed soldier, why are we great? The old man in Kyoto is still great. Without him, there would be no New Daxia." The old man said and took a deep look toward the northeast.

"I don't smoke much, so this half pack of cigarettes will honor your old age. It's getting late, let's talk when we have time." Li Wen smiled and stuffed the remaining half pack of cigarettes in his pocket to the old man.

"You're a smart kid and you know I'm good at this. Go ahead and tell me if you have anything to do in the future." The old man took out the cigarettes in his pocket and smiled happily.

Li Wen glanced at the old man, took the hot water bottle and left. On the way back, he sighed in his heart from time to time, this is a truly great person! He was so excited that he could not express it, and he was ready to go back and write an article.

"Xiaowen is good!" Sun Lianying looked at the hot water bottle Li Wendi brought back and praised with a smile.

"Uncle, this is what you should do. You go ahead and go to work. I'm going to work." Li Wen put down the hot water bottle and left the office with a smile.

"This kid is really talented! It will be difficult for him to have no future in the future." Sun Lianying from the office said with emotion.

"Oops! I asked who cleaned the office. It turned out to be you, Xiaowen." Six or seven colleagues had come to the big office at this time. Tao Hong looked at Li Wen and praised with a smile.

"It's all trivial matters. I had nothing to do when I came here, so I just cleaned up. Which brother or sister needs hot water to pour it yourself!" Li Wen smiled and put the hot water bottle on the window sill.

"Xiao Wen did a good job. Young people should be quick with their hands and feet." Xie Fangfang praised with a smile as she watched Li Wen pour herself a cup of tea.

"Sister Fang, you are my master. Isn't it right for an apprentice to respect his master?" Li Wen chuckled.

Thirteen people came to the office today, and only one official worker did not come because he had something to do. So the staff of the purchasing department were basically all here. Xie Fangfang introduced Li Wen one by one to the colleagues who did not come yesterday.

Li Wen found that none of the other temporary workers had desks, just one chair per person. Only then did he realize that it was really good to have someone in the room.

As a temporary worker, his job is very simple, just follow Xie Fangfang's arrangements.

After officially starting work, six regular workers rushed to the section chief's office for a meeting, while Li Wen and seven other temporary workers stayed in the office.

"Xiao Wen, please take more care of us in the future! Looking at your treatment, it won't take long for you to become a regular employee." Several other temporary workers kept talking to Li Wen and flattering him at the same time.

Li Wen was not arrogant and looked down on others. Instead, he took out the golden pigeon melon seeds from his pocket and gave some to everyone, and they bragging and spanking together.

More than an hour later, several regular workers returned to the office one after another. It seemed that the meeting was over, and Li Wen and others quickly returned to their seats.

"Awen and sister are going out!" Xie Fangfang put some documents into her bag and looked like she was about to go out.

"OK!"

Li Wen didn't ask any questions, just listened to what they were doing officially.

"Xiao Wen, remember, what we need to do when purchasing is to read more, talk less, and ask less questions." Pushing her bicycle out of the department store, Xie Fangfang began to teach by words and deeds.

"I understand, Sister Fang!" Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"Today we went to the glass factory to purchase a batch of glass. The unit's inventory is no longer enough. Recently, the glass factory has been stuck with goods. We need to take care of it today."

"Follow me when the time comes, and just say less. Just do whatever I ask you to do." Xie Fangfang turned her head and said with a smile.

"Sister Fang, should we bring some specialties or something?" Li Wen said with a smile.

"You are a good boy, not dull. I have it in my bag!" Xie Fang patted the leather bag on the front of the car.

"hehe!"

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. You have to eat and give some small gifts. As long as you don't get out of the big circle, I understand." Li Wen said with a smile.

The glass factory is in the west of the city, not far from the unit. The two of them rode bicycles to get there in more than half an hour.

On the way, Li Wen also learned the reason why the glass factory was stuck. It turned out that the glass bottles used by the cannery in Weihe County could only be produced by the large glass factory in Chang'an City.

The department store had a foothold in the Weihe County Cannery Factory and had some shares. The glass factory was jealous and wanted some benefits.

"Hello, we are from a department store. Please look for Director Zhao in the sales department. Here are our IDs." At the door of the glass factory, Xie Fangfang smiled and handed over their identity certificates to the security personnel on the side.

There were several people standing at the guard station carrying rifles, and they looked like they were soldiers.

"Okay, you go in!" After checking their IDs, the two of them were let in.

"The glass factory produces some military supplies, so security is still very strict." Xie Fangfang saw Li Wen's confusion and explained with a smile.

"oh!"

Li Wen suddenly realized that Chang'an was a military-industrial powerhouse! He had forgotten all about it.

"Director Zhao is here to bother me again!" Xie Fangfang smiled and said hello when he arrived at the sales department office of the glass factory, and Li Wen followed suit.

"Comrade Xie, whom I haven't seen for several months, actually took on a disciple." Director Zhao is a man in his forties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and he looks like a veteran cadre at first glance.

"This is the nephew of our section chief. I'll help take care of him." Xie Fangfang suddenly mentioned Li Wen's identity.

Li Wen quickly stepped forward and smoked to say hello.
