Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 253 Well's father is a smiling tiger

Jing Yiming and Lu Yao chatted for a while.

Inquire about his experiences fighting wolves and Japanese invaders.

Lu Yao didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

Jing Yiming kept praising him.

When Jing Youxiang saw how much her father appreciated Lu Yao, she was overjoyed.

She grabbed Jing Yiming's arm and said, "Dad, Xiao Lu has something he needs you to do."

"Oh? A combat hero wants to ask me for a favor? Quick, what is it?"

Lu Yao then took out the letter of introduction from the commune:

"Uncle, our production team is planning to start some side businesses after the New Year, like building some greenhouses. But we're short on raw materials. We'd like to buy a batch of cotton quilts from your factory..."

Jing Yiming shook his head upon hearing this:

"That won't do. You should know how scarce cloth and cotton are right now. Ordinary people need cloth coupons to buy even a pair of trousers. I don't have the authority to sell to you in such large quantities!"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "I naturally thought of that, but I'm not buying it, I'm borrowing it. I'll return it after I've used it. I'll return the tarpaulin and quilt in the spring. The cotton doesn't matter if it's new or old, it can just be re-fluffed."

"borrow?"

Jing Yiming couldn't help but look at Lu Yao again.

Why do you have such a big face?

How dare you so brazenly use the word "borrow" with me?

What gives you the right?

However, Jing Yiming was a smiling tiger and did not reveal his inner contempt.

She still had a smile on her face as she looked at Lu Yao.

Wait until he finishes speaking.

Lu Yao continued:

"Uncle, I know that the state-owned cotton mill also has a plastics factory that produces plastic sheeting. I can buy some of that. But the money may not be available immediately. We can buy it on credit in the name of the production team. We'll pay you back after spring when we have the vegetables."

Jing Yiming's smile widened.

It wasn't feigned friendliness, but rather the feeling that Lu Yao was joking with him.

Just because you know my daughter, do you dare to speak so arrogantly to me here?

The more incredible Lu Yao seemed to him, the bigger his smile became.

At this point, his eyes were reduced to slits.

Reach out and pat Lu Yao on the shoulder.

This was originally Lu Yao's habitual action.

"My child, you're thinking too simply. Although I'm the factory director, this factory belongs to the state, not me personally! I can't control everything. The factory has no right to lend out state-planned materials!"

Lu Yao had anticipated this answer.

He laughed and said, "I'm not borrowing personally, but asking for help from other units. You're essentially supporting our production team. This is supporting the front lines of agriculture. We can also barter, using our production team's crops to support your factory. That's what you call worker-peasant solidarity!"

This made Jing Yiming burst into laughter again:

"Young man, you're quite adept at twisting the facts! But I can't take the blame for something like this. You'd better get the necessary approval from the county. Then I can prepare the supplies for you."

Lu Yao cursed the old fox in his heart.

But that's understandable.

In these extraordinary times, everyone needs to be extra careful.

If this happened later, when he returned from abroad and made great strides in the 1990s, his social skills would have made him successful everywhere he went!

Now you need to conquer not only people, but also circumvention policies.

So he nodded and said, "That's easy to say. I'll talk to the higher-ups. Just make sure you don't refuse after they agree."

Jing Yiming was taken aback: "You mean you've already communicated with the higher-ups?"

"Not yet, but I'm confident."

Jing Yiming's smile turned amiable again at this moment:

"That's good. I support you in starting a side business. I'll help you in any way I can. Plastic sheeting is a means of production and can't be sold casually. Otherwise, disrupting the planned economy would be a serious crime."

Lu Yao nodded: "I will apply for both at the same time. But I hope Uncle won't break his head if I have to pay on credit."

"Huh? What's a head-breaking wedge?"

Jing Youxiang smiled and said, "Xiao Lu, my dad came from the South to the Northeast. Sometimes he won't understand if you speak the local dialect."

Then Jing Youxiang explained to Jing Yiming that "broken head wedge" means to destroy or obstruct.

Jing Yiming laughed loudly:

"No, no, you're a war hero. I'm too busy helping you to do this."

No matter what Lu Yao said, Jing Yiming readily agreed.

However, this is contingent on the superior's approval.

Lu Yao could also see that this guy was a cunning old fox.

He smiled and seemed to have no objections, but in reality, he didn't say anything definitive or confrontational.

However, since he promised not to obstruct it, there must be progress.

I hope I can prepare the raw materials during my vacation the year before.

Jing Dongwei is back.

We ordered a few dishes at the restaurant.

All four members of the family have salaries, so their standard of living is quite high.

Jing Yiming was very polite to Lu Yao, and even took out his treasured Moutai.

When pouring wine for Lu Yao, he even gave a special explanation:

"This wine was given to me by a retired senior leader. Although it wasn't very expensive, you can't buy it on the market!"

Lu Yao knew that this Moutai liquor had not yet been hyped up, and its price was not out of reach.

However, being able to afford it is also a symbol of status and position.

If one were Mei Ping or Ju Zhenghua, and came to the Jing family for a meal, it would be perfectly reasonable for Jing Yiming to bring out Moutai.

But how could a mere militiaman be so enthusiastic?

Does he already consider me his son-in-law, or is he just naturally hospitable?

Jing Youxiang was very happy to see that her father treated Lu Yao well.

The people pouring wine and serving dishes were very active.

Jing Dongwei sat silently to one side, saying little.

Lu Yao looked up at the inner room and asked:

"Why didn't you invite your aunt to come out and eat with us?"

Jing Yiming waved his hand: "Women shouldn't be served in public. We'll eat, and she can have a bite herself later!"

Lu Yao quickly said, "How can we do that? Let's call Auntie to eat together."

Then he said to Jing Youxiang, "Go quickly and call Auntie to come out for dinner."

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Jing Youxiang stood up and went to call him.

Jing Yiming's expression changed instantly, and he glared at Jing Youxiang: "Sit down."

Then, looking at Lu Yao, she instantly smiled: "Really, there's no need. Your aunt isn't feeling well."

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts during the meal.

Linghua, Jing Youxiang's mother, did not come out until dinner time.

They ate and drank quickly, and finished around 4 PM, just as it was getting dark.

Although Lu Yao's matter cannot be said to be resolved, at least there is some progress.

We'll have to wait for the county to approve the paperwork.

However, Lu Yao knew it wouldn't be long.

Once the merits are approved, Hao Limin will be happy and this matter will definitely be approved.

When Lu Yao was about to leave, Jing Yiming personally saw him off.

Upon seeing that Lu Yao was actually riding a police motorcycle, they were also taken aback:

"Why have the militia and the police station merged?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "No, it's borrowed. We're brother units, aren't we? We're all one family across the country."

"Good, good, good, what a wonderful family! Absolutely!"

After a few polite exchanges, Jing Yiming returned first.

When Jing Dongwei saw that his sister hadn't returned yet, he wanted to call her, but Jing Yiming pulled him back as well.

So they left Jing Youxiang and Lu Yao together.

As soon as Jing Youxiang saw that her father and brother had gone home, she lifted her leg and got into the sidecar.

Lu Yao looked at her: "Why aren't you going back?"

Jing Youxiang smiled and raised her small face: "I'm afraid you'll run away. Let me say a few words to you before you leave."
