"It's okay, just eat. By the way, I didn't ask Brother Chen, where are you from and how did you come back to the capital?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked. He was also confused about this matter, but it was the first time he met everyone and he didn't ask if they weren't familiar with them.

We were all working together today and were getting to know each other quite well, so he asked.

"Our hometown is in the south, in the rural areas of Jiangsu Province. The villages are poor and cannot afford food. Some people have gone to do business further south. A few of us want to make a living in the capital.

But after I came to the capital, I realized that the atmosphere here is not like our place in the south..."

"The atmosphere over there is open, right?" Jiang Xiaobai added.

"Yes, a few of us came to the capital, but except for a few odd jobs, there was no other big job at all, and we didn't have much money with us.

They are all sleeping under the overpass, and they have to work hard to clean themselves up to prevent being sent to a shelter..."

Chen Zhengyue said with a hint of bitterness on his face.

Jiang Xiaobai did not say anything, but raised his glass to Chen Zhengyue.

The internment centers at this time were different from those of later generations, but were somewhat similar to later detention centers.

It was used to house homeless people, and the people inside were extremely unfriendly.

"It's okay that it's summer now, but if it comes to winter, I don't know what to do. I can only go home, but I can't even pay for the trip home..."

Chen Zhengyue drank two more drinks and started talking thoroughly. The other workers on the side also drank one glass after another, with sad faces on their faces.

"Moreover, when we came, we kowtowed in front of the folks in our hometown and told our family members to look after our families. We would never return to our hometown until we made a name for ourselves. If we went back in despair, how could we have the face..."

"Fortunately, I met you, so I really want to thank you, the leader..."

"I told Brother Chen, just call me Xiaobai." Jiang Xiaobai said firmly this time.

"Okay, I'll ask you to call me Brother Xiaobai. Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity."

Chen Zhengyue said and toasted Jiang Xiaobai. The other workers also raised their glasses and toasted Jiang Xiaobai together.

"There are rooms on the second and third floors. You will stay there tonight. Although the place is not very good, at least there is a place to protect yourself from the wind and rain."

Jiang Xiaobai said,

In an instant, Chen Zhengyue was about to stand up and bow to Jiang Xiaobai, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaobai.

"You don't need to thank me. I slept on the street when I first came out. I know what it's like. I will help anyone who can."

Jiang Xiaobai said that he himself had slept in front of the supply and marketing cooperative and had seen what the driver Zhang Fugui was like when he followed him.

Therefore, he can especially understand this group of men. It is not easy for them to come out to work hard one by one. Jiang Xiaobai who can help will definitely help.

Chen Zhengyue nodded vigorously and drank another drink. He didn't speak. He was afraid that when he opened his mouth, others would hear the trembling in his voice.

That night, these men slept very soundly. Of course, Jiang Xiaobai did not go back to school and slept in the temporary office on the third floor.

Similarly, Song Weiguo, Li Xiaoliu, and Zhou Guomin all found an office and slept on the table.

Early the next morning, Chen Zhengyue and his people got up and started working.

Before Jiang Xiaobai left, he called Song Weiguo aside and gave instructions.

"Go buy some bedding and daily necessities, take them with you, and arrange for them to eat in a small restaurant in the next two days."

"Okay." Song Weiguo nodded, and he was very happy with Jiang Xiaobai's arrangement.

"When you are away from home, please help if you can." Jiang Xiaobai said, and then rode his bicycle back to school.

For the next period of time, Jiang Xiaobai was busy running between two points and one line.

The school, Xidan store, and Party membership information have all been submitted.

The feed factory also started smoothly and construction began.

The estimated time is to build the factory in about 5 months, and then officially start production one month later.

In other words, it will take at least half a year. Calculating the time, Jiang Xiaobai estimates that it will be almost the same after the New Year.

There are many people in Jianhua Village, Li Laosan and others are there, and things have been arranged, so Jiang Xiaobai is not worried.

After class was over that day, Jiang Xiaobai simply packed up his things, then left the classroom and got on his bicycle to go to the Xidan clothing store.

But as soon as I got on the bicycle, I heard Li Siyan's voice coming from behind me.

"Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai, wait a minute." Li Siyan ran over panting.

"What's wrong Siyan?" Jiang Xiaobai got off the bicycle and looked at Li Siyan with a smile and asked.

"What have you been busy with these days? I can't see you every day."

Li Siyan took a few breaths, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked in confusion.

"I..." Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes, "I am following Professor Zhang on a research project."

"Really or not? What kind of research project is this? Are you really tired? You see you have lost a lot of weight recently."

Li Siyan asked in disbelief.

"Really, I can still lie to you." Jiang Xiaobai patted his chest and assured that Li Siyan didn't like these business matters.

If you talk to Li Siyan, you will definitely have to lecture yourself for a while. In the end, no one can convince anyone? It’s a quarrel for no reason.

It's better to hide it from Li Siyan for now and confess to her when the time comes.

"Okay, don't be too tired. Is there anything about your quota for going abroad..."

Li Siyan asked again.

"Why go abroad...I asked, Professor Zhang said there was no news."

Jiang Xiaobai was halfway through his words before he quickly changed his words. The recent renovation had taken up too much of his energy and he was so busy all day long. If Li Siyan hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.

"I guess it will be difficult to get this spot. There are so many outstanding students competing for it..." Jiang Xiaobai added.

"Well, you serve some snacks and do your best." Li Siyan said, taking out a scarf from his pocket and wrapping it around Jiang Xiaobai's neck.

"It's getting cold, please keep warm."

"Okay, I understand, and so do you. I'm leaving."

Jiang Xiaobai felt warm in his heart, nodded and said.

Jiang Xiaobai had just parked his car in front of the store. Song Weiguo, who was drinking from a large transparent glass, saw Jiang Xiaobai coming back and immediately came out to greet him.

"Old Song, the ceramic tiles are done, the water and lines are finished, and the railings and stairs are almost finished. Don't delay."

Jiang Xiaobai asked. With Chen Zhengyue and the others working overtime, the renovation progressed almost every day.

"Don't worry, the ceramic tiles from the ceramic tile factory can't be sold at all now. As soon as they come to the door, the factory director wants to buy me a big package of all the ceramic tiles. But I can't decide which kind of ceramic tiles to use. The various styles make me a little confused.

You see, you can go there in person tomorrow to make a decision and then you can pull the bricks."

Song Weiguo said.
