"Brother, we went up the mountain to cut firewood today. Hey, the second brother of the Li family also caught two rabbits. We had lunch at the captain's house for lunch. The rabbit meat made by Aunt Li was very delicious, and the fried shredded potatoes were also delicious... …Ah, sister-in-law, she hasn’t seen anyone, she’s been painting in the village village all day, oh no, she went to find a carpenter and said she wanted to build some bookshelves.”
"Brother, I'm going to eat today... Oh oh oh, I went to Jiuli brigade with my sister-in-law today. No, let those children go to school... I've been there all the time. She didn't say anything else. Where to go? My family also followed the principal... Ah, there is another thing. My sister-in-law gave a lot of fruit candies to the children, and I think she also ate them herself... Yes, yes, that candy is very sweet..."
"Brother...Brother, please don't scold me. I made a big discovery today! I found that my sister-in-law loves canned food very much. She made two bottles today...Hey, brother? Brother?"
"..."
"Brother Cheng, you really don't have to worry. The two people sent by Bai Bo to monitor Sister Lin... Let me put it this way, the two of them combined can be killed by the fat man. Do you understand?"
Zhou Xu said this to Su Yuncheng after eavesdropping on Wu Genmao's phone calls for five days.
He finally understood the meaning of Lin Nianhe's words.
The logic of these two people's actions is beyond the imagination.
But Zhou Xu is still a little confused: "Brother Cheng, do you think Bai Bo is also stupid? He sent two people here to follow him, what can he find out?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Yuncheng was silent for a moment and said, "It's safest to keep an eye on people like this."
"Um?"
"You continue to monitor. If you have nothing to do, go to the Shili Brigade for a walk. If there is any situation, please contact Sun Brigade at any time."
"Okay, I get it."
Su Yuncheng hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number.
"Hello, is Comrade Lin Nianhe here?"
The person on the other end of the phone suppressed a smile and replied seriously: "Yes, yes."
A familiar voice reached his ears, Su Yuncheng's eyes were filled with smiles, and his voice became gentler: "Nianhe, it's me."
"I know," Lin Nianhe sat in Li Dahe's seat, resting his fingers on the open notepad, "I was watching the time."
"Yeah." Su Yuncheng responded in a low voice, his tone rising slightly, unable to hide his good mood, "How are you doing recently?"
"It's very good," Lin Nianhe said. "I hung the canned oranges in the well for a while a few days ago. They were delicious when they were cold."
"Don't be too greedy for cold food, or you may get a stomachache." Su Yuncheng warned.
"I know." Lin Nianhe replied, "Do you have any news over there?"
"Not too much. Bai Bo is very careful and will basically not leave the black market." Su Yuncheng said, "So Nianhe, don't think about calling him to Lan County. I asked Zhou Xu to prepare something and wait until Just deal with it when it comes to delivery, I can handle it here."
"There's still more than half a month left, there's no rush." Lin Nianhe said with a smile, "Take care of yourself, safety first."
"well."
Su Yuncheng sighed.
On this issue, they argued in person to no avail, and it was even less possible to convince each other on the phone.
After a brief silence, Lin Nianhe said softly: "Okay, I can't force him to come here if he doesn't come. If he sends someone else here, can the train be faster than the phone?"
Hearing what she said, Su Yuncheng finally felt relieved: "Yeah."
"Then you should pay more attention to your own safety and don't worry about me. I have a peaceful time here and nothing will happen."
"Okay, I'll call you at this time five days later."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nianhe shook his head helplessly.
Men, there are always so many worries.
She put the phone upright and then saw the notepad at hand.
The neat line of words on it reminded her - she forgot to settle accounts with Su Yuncheng again!
It seems that the next time you make a phone call, you have to hold the notepad in front of your eyes.
Lin Nianhe held his notepad, shook his head and stood up, moved to the door, and stuck his head out first.
Outside the door, Wang Shumei was clutching the leaves of the ivy, looking bored.
Seeing Lin Nianhe sneaking out, she threw away the leaves and said, "We are all at work, no one is coming."
"That's good." Lin Nianhe stood up straight with a smile and asked her, "Where is Wu Genmao?"
"At the Educated Youth Point, the kang tray was finished, and I was helping Uncle Li move the furniture." Wang Shumei pursed her lips and smiled, "I just said I would make pork stewed vermicelli tonight, and the two of them worked more actively than anyone else."
Lin Nianhe murmured to himself: "Big brother asked you to keep an eye on me, but you became a model worker."
Wang Shumei laughed so hard that tears were about to fall. She wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Nianhe, in half a month my brother and his factory will have to go to the provincial capital to purchase goods again. What should I do?"
"Wait a minute," Lin Nianhe said. "If Bai Bo doesn't come, we'll do it as usual. If he comes, then we have to stop for a month."
"Well, actually, I'm making a lot of money now, and I won't be able to spend it all for several years." Wang Shumei said softly, "We are not in a hurry."
She is easily satisfied because she has made more money in these few months than she has made in the past year or two.
When she said this now, she actually wanted to remind Lin Nianhe, don't force yourself, just give in if it doesn't work.
"But there is still work to be done." Lin Nianhe changed the subject, "Sister Lan's fabric has arrived."
"Still in the cave?"
"right."
"Then we can only get it at night," Wang Shumei said a little nervously, "What should I do if I encounter a wolf while walking on the mountain road at night?"
It was difficult for her and Lin Nianhe to walk on mountain roads during the day, let alone at night.
"I didn't say we should do it ourselves." Lin Nianhe raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "There is no need to waste the ready-made labor force."
Wang Shumei: "It has to be you."
Two days later, Wang Shumei and Wen Lan moved from the front yard to the backyard.
After the lively visiting villagers dispersed, they opened the last unopened box and took out the sewing machine donated by Bai Bo.
Under the dim light, Wen Lan's eyes were full of little stars, and she carefully touched the brand-new sewing machine.
Lin Nianhe took out some simple woolen coat design drawings and handed them to her and asked, "Sister Lan, can you make it like this?"
The designs she drew were not professional, and were similar to those sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, except that the details of the collar or pockets were slightly changed to make them look better.
Wen Lan took one look and nodded: "Yes, this is simple and effortless."
"That's good." Lin Nianhe said, patting her shoulder, "Then get ready and figure out the size yourself. The fabric will arrive tomorrow."
Wen Lan's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and her voice started to tremble: "Hezi, are you serious? Can you really make twenty or thirty yuan for a piece of clothing?"
Speaking of this matter, Lin Nianhe simply spread his arms and said: "I went to the provincial capital last time to take a look. The woolen coats in the supply and marketing cooperative range from 120 to 180, and they also require cloth tickets. I thought, Let’s just sell it for 150 or 180 yuan, and we don’t need to issue tickets.”
"I'm in charge of the ingredients, Sister Lan is in charge of making it, and Sister Shumei is in charge of selling it. The three of us will share it equally. As for Sister Shumei, how you share it with Brother Qian is up to you two."
One provides resources, one takes effort, and one takes risks.
It’s hard to say who took advantage of whom, but this business wouldn’t be successful without anyone.
After Lin Nianhe finished speaking, she began to think about how she could get the materials down the mountain with less worry and effort since there would be no free labor;
Wang Shumei thought that woolen coats that did not require cloth tickets were in short supply, so she might be able to bring some to Liao Province.
Only Wen Lan didn't think about the twists and turns. She clasped her fingers and her eyes were brighter than light bulbs: "Then it's not 20 or 30, but 50 or 60? My mother is one month older than my parents. The salary is plenty, how can you get this money so easily?"
