The inspection team's documents are complete and the procedures are formal and legal. After Luo Jiawang carefully checked that everything was correct, he quickly gathered people to tow the truck on the road.
But here comes a new problem.
There are 22 people in the expedition team. How will they arrange accommodation?
Accountant Huang suggested: "Several rooms have been built in the Educated Youth Point recently, so it's okay to squeeze them in. The inspection team and the educated youth are all educated people and have common topics."
Mr. Sun had no objection, as he happened to want to explore the reality of the so-called King of Soldiers.
The expedition team was all headed by Mr. Sun, and the matter was settled.
But when they arrived at the destination, many people gave up.
There is a lot of humidity near the river, especially when the north wind blows in winter, and the inside of the house is a bit damper and colder than outside.
In order to accommodate more people, the beds were changed into large bunks without even bedding. The conditions were more difficult than expected. Several girls on the expedition team turned green on the spot.
"Either live in the town, or spend some money to live in a fellow villager's house." Someone said weakly.
The overall level of the Nanxi brigade is not poor. Along the way, I saw two or three brick houses, especially the house of the brigade leader's house, which is better than that in the city.
"It's okay for us young people to live in the educated youth area. The key is the teachers. We've barely had a good night's sleep these days."
"Yes, the body is the capital of revolution, and only by nourishing the spirit can we contribute to the cause of socialism."
These words were high-sounding, and Mr. Sun did not object as expected: "You can discuss it with the villagers yourself, then there will be no problem. Be sure to remember that you cannot invade the villagers' stitches and threads."
Everyone in the expedition team agreed and split up.
As for Mr. Sun...
Luo Jiawang, a good person, immediately invited the old expert to his home and entertained him with delicious food.
The smart Luo Jiawang thought he had taken advantage of him and hooked up with the nobles in the capital, but he didn't know that he would be tricked by the other party. In one night, he almost exposed all the secrets of the Nanxi Brigade.
"These old ladies are so short-sighted. Are people from the capital so easy to serve? They can't get used to just eating from a big pot."
Lin Meiru sneered: "I open a small stove to cook for the expedition team alone. The whole family is eager to see how others eat and drink. How can I avoid causing trouble after a long time?"
As expected, she was the smartest and refused the expedition team's request directly. Just then, the other party turned against her and scolded her for being ignorant and saying that she was a grandson if she didn't make money.
Lin Meiru used a broom to blast the person out on the spot.
"Mom, don't be sulky when you get angry lately." Jiang Shulan came out holding a cotton-padded jacket and called the little girl to come over and try it on, with a gentle smile on her brows and eyes.
"I see this style is popular in department stores recently. If you put it on, you will definitely look more fashionable than the little girl from the expedition team."
The color of the cotton-padded jacket is red, which is very festive. It was extremely difficult to get a piece of red cloth these days, so Jiang Shulan made several trips to the county town to get it.
For the first time in his two lives, someone had clothes specially made for him. Jiang Anan happily put on the new clothes with a smile on her face: "It just fits, eldest sister, the cotton-padded jacket you made is so beautiful."
The cotton-padded jacket has a waist-pinching design to keep her warm but not bulky. The red color makes her skin tone whiter, making her lively and bright, making people unable to take their eyes away.
It is the most eye-catching color in the withered deep winter!
Zhou Yinghuai's eyes followed her closely, and he didn't look away until Wen Hao's urging voice sounded.
He walked in calmly and said in a lower voice: "Aunt Lin, my family sent some specialties, specially brought here for you to try."
Lin Meiru stepped forward and saw that the bag he was carrying contained seven or eight cans, including pig heads and beef. A warm smile on the old face immediately bloomed: "I will show you my skills tonight."
Canned meat is also meat, and the cooking methods remain the same.
In order to entertain the inspection team today, the housewives in every household used their special skills, and the smell of meat wafted everywhere.
The Jiang family's eating of meat is not conspicuous at all.
Jiang Anan took off her red cotton-padded jacket and put on an old one. She would wear it to show off at the commune tomorrow and maybe get some orders for her eldest sister.
When we returned to the main room, the room was filled with the aroma of tea.
Zhou Yinghuai had already made tea with the new tea he had brought. When he saw her coming in, he picked up the empty bowl and poured more than half of it.
The tea soup was emerald green and translucent. Jiang Anan couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and take a sip. Her beautiful apricot eyes suddenly narrowed happily: "Good tea, sweet in the mouth."
Wen Hao wrinkled his nose in disgust: "Why do you have the taste of a veteran cadre like Brother Huai? What kind of Biluochun do you like to drink? I would say the best drink is the orange-flavored Arctic Ocean soda. In the summer, after cooling it under the well water, drink it in one sip. Call it a pleasure."
Old cadre Zhou Yinghuai: "..."
Duobao next to him swallowed his saliva: "Soda!"
"Little greedy cat." Jiang Anan reached out and poked his white and tender cheek, then went to the kitchen to get a few sweet potatoes and buried them under the charcoal basin. By the time dinner was finished, the sweet potatoes were roasted.
It is also a good thing to have steaming sweet potatoes to digest your meal in the cold winter.
Jiang Degui poked the sparks with a poker and asked casually: "Xiao Zhou, you are all from the capital. Do you know the origin of this expedition team?"
The expedition team, all of them thin-skinned and tender-bodied, said they were coming to the Nanxi Brigade to survey and prospect for minerals, but he didn't believe a word of it.
There was a vague feeling of uneasiness in my heart, fearing that it was also the little yellow croaker.
Zhou Yinghuai came here just for this matter. Zhengchou didn't have a chance to speak, so Jiang Degui took the initiative to pass the topic.
He said: "Geology experts lead staff to the countryside to search for ore. They all have strong backgrounds and are not easy to mess with."
This group of people are related to the ones above. They represent different forces and supervise and balance each other.
"Hmph!" Wen Hao snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Sun Gou is trying to sneak around, and he has more eyes than a sieve."
Sun dog?
The father and daughter looked at each other in tacit understanding and understood that the expedition team and Zhou Zhiqing were not the same group.
Jiang Anan had seen Zhou Yinghuai interrogating prisoners at the Public Security Bureau, and he had a deep memory. This Zhou Zhiqing probably went to the countryside with a mission, and his background was so high that even Wu Jianguo was polite to him.
Fortunately, he didn't have any intentions against Lao Jiang's family, otherwise she would have kicked him out long ago.
At this time, Zhou Yinghuai also lived up to her trust and kindly reminded: "Uncle Jiang, the expedition team is expected to hire members to go into the mountain in the next two days. The expert team from the capital is not short of money and will be well paid. However, there are many wild animals in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are full of dangers. , if you are not short of those few dollars, you might as well leave it at home to entertain the grandchildren."
The Da Ya Nai incident seemed to have been settled, but the police followed the clues and found the lair of those people, and most likely they were hiding in the mountains. With the help of the complex terrain in the mountains, he has been able to successfully evade pursuit for so many years.
Those people are not good-natured, and they carry guns.
The expedition team is also after gold and equipment. Sooner or later, the two groups of people will come into conflict, and anyone who is not careful will have to get involved.
Afraid that Jiang Degui wouldn't believe it, Zhou Yinghuai specifically mentioned Wu Jianguo's name, "The last time I met Public Security Wu, he mentioned that a team of experts would come from the capital. Even County Magistrate Bai was worried. The implication is that this group of people is not easy to serve."
Jiang Degui was eager to hide his familiarity with the mountains. He crossed his arms and said, "Who is willing to go to the mountains to suffer in the winter? Don't worry, I will definitely not mix in."
He held the fire tongs tightly, and began to regret that he should not have taken Jiang Anan to worship his biological father a few days ago.
There are still traces of burning incense and candles in front of the grave. I just hope that a heavy snowfall will delay the expedition team's time to enter the mountain.
