Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1162 Slaughtering Pigs and Sheep

Zhang Shuya got out of the car, glanced around briefly, and spotted Wang An bragging to Minjing and the defense officers.

After walking over, Zhang Shuya ignored Wang An and greeted Zhang Suochang instead:

"Uncle Zhang, have you been busy lately?"

Zhang Suochang looked at Zhang Shuya with the same eyes one would give a junior, and said with a smile:
"Not busy, nothing major happens day by day, but it's much better than before."

It's clear that these two knew each other before, and it's very likely that Zhang Suochang's arrival in Xing'an Township was arranged by Zhang Shuya.

While the two were exchanging pleasantries, people got out of another jeep.

Among the people who got out of the jeep was Ye Qingfeng, Wang An's classmate.

Upon seeing Wang An, Ye Qingfeng waved to him with a beaming smile. Judging from Ye Qingfeng's expression, the young man must have already resolved his "impotence" problem.

As soon as Ye Qingfeng and his entourage got out of the car, the grain station manager and a group of grain station staff all rushed to greet them.

They all greeted a man in his fifties with "Hello, Station Chief Ye." Clearly, this man was the station chief of the county grain station, Ye Qingfeng's father, Comrade Ye Hongbo.

After everyone greeted each other, Ye Hongbo, from an angle where no one could see him, glared fiercely at the head of the township grain station.

It's clear that Ye Hongbo is very dissatisfied with his way of handling the problem.

After Ye Qingfeng and the others arrived, Zhang Shuya, Ye Hongbo, and Director Zhang introduced themselves to each other. Amidst their laughter and conversation, none of them mentioned the matter of deducting 8 units of water from the grain.

The main problem is that anyone who isn't an idiot would immediately recognize that this is a quality inspector's fault.

Because in the local area, freshly harvested corn that hasn't been dried normally has a moisture content of around 20%. If it's dried casually for a few days, the moisture content will drop to around 12.

The standard for grain delivered to the state was no more than 8% moisture content, which was considered qualified grain.

Therefore, the practice of removing 8 water molecules after already removing the standard water content is clearly unreasonable. It doesn't even require instrument testing; anyone with a little common sense knows what's going on.

After briefly learning what had happened, Ye Hongbo smiled and said to Wang An:

“Young man, deducting eight grains of water is definitely wrong, but hitting someone is even more wrong. How about this, I'll make the decision: let the county's quality inspector test the grain before you hand it over, okay?”

To be honest, this is how Lingdao should be, because his approach is to resolve conflicts, not to escalate them like the head of the township grain station.

Of course, this might also be because of Zhang Shuya's presence. After all, the weight of a county-level worker like An Juju is something no one can ignore.

Most importantly, with Zhang Shuya involved, if this matter escalates further, the entire grain depot system will ultimately suffer the consequences.

Wang An smiled and agreed:
"That's a must! Isn't that exactly what we've been asking for? Hehehe."

As he spoke, Wang An pointed to the quality inspector who had already stood up and said:
"Let me tell you, Station Chief Ye, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten so angry. This idiot managed to come up with two different data for a grain storage facility, insisting that one is qualified and the other is unqualified. This kind of dog shit with a broken mouth who wants to mutter whatever he wants, you should just send him home to farm too."

With Zhang Shuya around, Wang An became completely unrestrained, spouting nonsense as he felt he had to vent his anger.

Despite the barrage of scolding and provocation, Wang An was in a surprisingly good mood.

Ye Hongbo didn't seem angry; he just gave the quality inspector who had just been beaten up a look of utter disgust, then turned to Wang An and said:
"Yeah, the grain depot's reputation has been ruined by such black sheep. Don't worry, we will deal with it seriously." From beginning to end, Zhang Shuya didn't express even a single opinion on the matter of grain.

And so, under Ye Hongbo's direction, the matter was resolved in a way that was hardly a resolution.

Ye Hongbo didn't even mention how the quality inspector would handle the situation.

There's nothing we can do; everyone operates within their own system. Although you, Zhang Shuya, are very capable, and your father is even more capable, Station Chief Ye's attitude in handling problems is flawless, and no one can find fault with it.

As for Wang An, he was only taken to the palace to drink a bowl of plain water, and then he rode back to the grain station in Zhang Shuya's car in a swaggering manner.

Of course, on the way back to the grain station, Zhang Shuya parked the car there, and Wang An dragged her out of the car and gave her a good beating, something Wang An would never tell anyone.

The main problem is that Wang An has practiced martial arts for so long, yet he is still no match for Zhang Shuya, which is incredibly embarrassing.

Upon arriving at the grain station, Wang An slyly discussed the matter with Zhang Shuya, saying:

"Big sister, come to my house, I'll slaughter a pig for you to eat, and then I'll slaughter a sheep for you to eat too, how about that?"

Wang An knew that Zhang Shuya had a huge appetite, especially for meat.

Sure enough, upon hearing that pigs and sheep were to be slaughtered, Zhang Shuya's eyes lit up immediately. She glanced at her watch and made an excuse for herself:
"Okay, I'll be off work anyway, so I'll come to your place for a nice meal."

Wang An rolled down the car window and shouted to Wang Yong and the others:

"Big brother, take my four-wheeler back. My older sister and I are leaving now. When we get back, call my sister-in-law and come help us with the chores."

A few minutes later, Zhang Shuya's Jeep stopped next to Wang An's GAZ. Turning around, Zhang Shuya asked Wang An:

"Whose gas is this? Why is it parked in your yard?"

Wang An said with a grin:

"Mine, I asked Brother Wu to help me buy it a few days ago. What do you think? Isn't it cool?"

Zhang Shuya said:
"He has a pointed face and monkey-like features; I think he's not as good-looking as a Jeep."

To be fair, in terms of appearance, the GAZ's pointed face is indeed not as aesthetically pleasing to Chinese people as the Jeep's square face.

Wang An was genuinely happy to be able to buy a GAZ, thanks to Wu Dong's strong connections. As for a Jeep, Wang An didn't even dare to dream of it, because Jeep production was extremely limited at that time, and it was simply impossible for ordinary people to buy one.

So after Zhang Shuya finished speaking, Wang An smiled and didn't mind, saying:

"As long as there's a car, that's fine. Even if it's not as good-looking as a Jeep, there's nothing I can do about it, hehehe."

As they were talking, the two got out of the car, while Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan had already come out of the house.

Upon seeing Zhang Shuya arrive, Liu Guilan was overjoyed, addressing her affectionately as "Miss Zhang" repeatedly.

Before Wang An could speak, Liu Guilan instructed him:
"Xiao An, go catch a pig and kill it, pick the big one. Also, kill the sheep. That big rake is useless now, kill them too."
