Li Chenmo thought for a mont and replied, "Your nephews have already spread word about our greenhouses. By now, the brigade should have heard the rumors. I have prepared the design and a list of materials. Maybe I will tell them today."
Nodding at his words, Lu Jueyu said, "Husband, be careful when you report the matter."
"Wife, don't worry. I have a plan," Li Chenmo replied with a chuckle.
"Mn."
Lu Jueyu always trusted her husband. Since he was confident, she felt at ease.
Twenty minutes later, the two of them reached the Lu family's house. After parking the bicycle in the yard, Li Chenmo carried the bamboo basket to Lu Cheng's house's balcony.
Holding his wife's hand, he said, "Wife, I will co after I finish my business. Rember to drink your water if you feel nauseous."
"I know, don't worry about . Be careful on the road," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.
"I'm leaving now."
"Okay."
After leaving the Lu family's house, Li Chenmo rode his bicycle to the brigade's office. It took him almost an hour to reach his destination.
When the brigade staff saw him parking his bicycle, they walked over, and one of them asked, "Comrade Li, it's rare for you to visit. What brings you here today?"
Li Chenmo locked his bicycle and replied with a smile, "I have co to request a travel permit from the brigade secretary for my friend."
Hearing this, the brigade staff said, "Comrade Li, you are lucky. The brigade secretary is in the office. If you had co tomorrow, you might not have been able to et him."
"Will I be disturbing the brigade secretary's schedule?" Li Chenmo asked when he heard his words.
"Don't worry, the brigade secretary is only checking the report as he will be heading to the capital for an annual eting tomorrow. It will take him at least half a month to return. Let's go inside," the staff mber said.
Li Chenmo nodded, picked up the bamboo basket, and followed them. Due to his contributions to the brigade, almost everyone knew him. So when he entered the office, they greeted him warmly.
In response to the warm welco, Li Chenmo greeted them back and took out a pack of candies and cigarettes. He handed the candies to the female comrades and the cigarettes to the male comrades.
With the gifts in hand, everyone beca even more enthusiastic and thanked him.
Not long after, Jiang Zemin walked over and said, "Brother Li, you are here. The brigade secretary has invited you to his office."
"Please lead the way, Brother Jiang," Li Chenmo replied.
When they reached the office, Jiang Zemin knocked on the door and waited a mont.
"Co in."
Upon hearing the response, he opened the door and said, "Sir, Comrade Li is here."
The brigade secretary raised his head from the docunt he was reading, stood up with a smile, and walked over. He gestured for Li Chenmo to take a seat while saying, "Comrade Li, what a rare visit. Please, have a seat."
Li Chenmo placed the bamboo basket on the table, took his seat, and replied, "Comrade, here are so new snacks my wife made. She asked to bring them over for you to try."
The brigade secretary was pleased to hear this. Ever since he had tasted Lu Jueyu's cooking at Li Lingyun and Pan ijia's wedding, he had been thinking about her cooking.
He put the bamboo basket aside and asked, "Comrade Li, I heard you are here for a travel permit. Are you going to another city?"
Li Chenmo took out Lin ifeng's identity card, and said, "Comrade, my friend ca from Yunnan City for a visit. He t Comrade Lin ifeng when he was staying at the village, and the two of them fell for each other."
"Since they are already past the typical marriage age, the Lin family agreed to my friend's proposal. Now that their engagent ceremony is complete, my friend wants to bring his wife back with him.
"So I ca today on their behalf to request a travel permit for Comrade Lin, as well as a recomndation letter so she can transfer her household registration to her husband's when she moves to Yunnan City."
Upon hearing this, the brigade secretary nodded and said, "That won't be a problem. But we will need your friend's travel permit and Comrade Lin's docunt."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo took out the docunt from his back and handed it over.
After reviewing the docunt, the brigade secretary issued a one-month travel permit and a recomndation letter for Lin ifeng. When she arrived in Yunnan City, she could use the letter to transfer her household registration to Jiang Ziyu's.
The brigade secretary stamped the docunts and handed them over to Li Chenmo.
Seeing that everything was in order, Li Chenmo carefully put the docunts in his bag and took an envelope out. Placing it on the table, he said, "Comrade, these are the designs and material list needed to build a greenhouse."
Hearing this, the brigade secretary smiled and asked, "Comrade Li, is your greenhouse similar to the one built by the governnt?"
He had already heard rumors about the Li family building bamboo structures and calling them greenhouses. He suspected that Li Chenmo's visit today was to report on this matter besides requesting travel permits and recomndation letters for his friend's wife.
Li Chenmo nodded and replied, "Comrade, to tell you the truth, I learned about greenhouses during my service in the military. At that ti, I noticed that the materials needed to build them were expensive and limited."
"But the greenhouse had many benefits. Thanks to it, the military was able to have fresh vegetables even during winter. So after returning to my hotown, my wife and I began searching for alternative materials."
Hearing this, the brigade secretary's eyes flashed with interest, and he asked, "So, did you and your wife find a replacent?"
