After Gong Ye hung up the phone, he saw that it was getting dark outside, so he took his work permit and went to the county guest house to get a room.
Thinking that I had fallen down on the road and felt uncomfortable all over, I took my bath ticket and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
The bathhouses in Qingxi County are several levels higher than those in Hongqi Commune. They not only have shower rooms, but also several small rooms where several people can take a bath, and there are even bathers.
Of course, the price of a small room is naturally not cheap.
Gong Ye gave the ticket and entered the shower room. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt particularly embarrassed looking at a group of men with their bare butts exposed.
I quickly ran to a corner and started washing quickly.
After Lu Changzheng came out of Geng Changqing's place, he thought about it and went to the bathhouse.
He has been crawling around in the mountains these past few days. Not to mention, he really smells a little bit. Hearing that pregnant women shouldn't smell strange smells, he still took a shower before going back to avoid suffocating his wife.
Fortunately, I brought clothes with me in the car.
When he arrived at the shower room, Lu Changzheng also found a seat on the side.
While washing, he noticed that the man next to him was a little timid, so Lu Changzheng couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Now is a special period for gold mining, and there is no chance that anyone will come to cause sabotage. What's more, the purpose of the special agents who were eyeing the Red Flag Commune has not been found yet.
Gong Ye always felt like someone was staring at him from time to time, which made him even more depressed.
He has been in Haishi since he was a child. He occasionally goes on business and is also in the surrounding area. He has never seen such a formation.
If he had known that he would need a separate small room, he would not be short of money.
Suddenly, the person next to him patted Gong Ye and said, "Brother, can you help me rub my back?"
Gong Ye waved his hand, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I'll finish washing and leave immediately." After flushing for a while, he hurried out.
The man saw that Gong Ye had only been in and out for five minutes, so he muttered: "Where is this idiot? How can he clean up like this? He really just lost his bath ticket."
After that, he went to find someone else to rub his back.
Lu Changzheng was just suspicious at first, but after hearing that the other party spoke with a Haishi accent, his eyes froze again.
He also hurriedly rushed into the water, and Lu Changzheng also followed.
After seeing the other party entering the guest house from a distance, Lu Changzheng drove to the Public Security Bureau. It happened that the director hadn't gotten off work yet, so Lu Changzheng reported the situation to him.
The director of public security was worried about finding a spy on the line at this time, but he really didn't have a clue. Naturally, he was unwilling to let go of the situation at all, and immediately sent someone to the guest house to keep an eye on him.
After giving feedback, Lu Changzheng drove back.
Of course, he won't rely solely on the Public Security Bureau. Tomorrow he will strengthen the defense of each outpost and arrest any suspicious persons who want to pass by the mountain.
Those at the foot of the mountain have also sent people to do political propaganda work in the past two days.
During gold mining, in order to prevent hostile elements from causing damage, the public must be alert and report any suspicious persons in a timely manner.
When Lu Changzheng returned home, it was already past eight o'clock. Su Mo was knitting a sweater with the lamp on. Seeing that it was Lu Changzheng, she confiscated it.
Lu Changzheng first washed the dirty clothes he had changed, brushed his teeth, washed his face and shaved, and then entered the bedroom.
It’s a good day when there are lights, and doing things doesn’t hurt your eyes that much.
The mining side consumes a lot of electricity. I originally planned to use a diesel generator, but after evaluation, I decided to run wires.
The operation was expected to start next month. He would tell his father tomorrow and ask them to apply to the commune and take the opportunity to connect the brigade with electricity.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Changzheng urged Su Mo to take a rest.
Lu Changzheng had indeed not rested for several days. He fell asleep shortly after lying down.
Su Mo originally wanted to tell him about Gong Ye, but seeing that he was so tired, she planned to talk to him in the morning.
When he woke up the next day, Lu Changzheng found that his wife seemed to be a little different. She seemed to be more radiant.
"Daughter-in-law, I see that your complexion seems to have improved a lot, and you look a little radiant."
Su Mo smiled and said, "My abilities seem to have been upgraded. I feel stronger than before."
"Can this ability be upgraded?" Lu Changzheng sat up.
"It should be possible. It wasn't that strong at the beginning. Later I tried absorbing the energy of some plants and trees and found that this ability can become stronger."
"After becoming stronger, does it spawn plants faster?"
"The speed is not much faster, but the growth cycle that can be induced is longer."
Su Mo signaled Lu Changzheng to close the door, then took out a watermelon seed and activated the power. The watermelon seed quickly turned into a watermelon vine, and finally produced two large watermelons.
Su Mo asked Lu Changzheng to pick the watermelon, then absorb the energy of the watermelon vine again, and asked him to burn the dried watermelon vine.
"Before, it could only produce vegetables, but now it can produce annual fruits and crops." Su Mo explained.
Even though it was not the first time he had seen it, Lu Changzheng's eyes were still full of brilliance.
He was probably able to marry his wife in this life only because he had done great deeds in his previous life.
"Daughter-in-law, can I try this melon?" He had not eaten anything his wife had given birth to.
Su Mo nodded.
Lu Changzheng quickly cut the watermelon and ate it. It was very sweet, something he had never tasted before.
Everything in future generations will be better than now, even watermelons will taste better than the current varieties.
The book he read was from 2011. There are still 40 years left. He must live until then and see what life will be like back then with his wife.
One watermelon was too big, so Lu Changzheng only ate about a quarter, and Su Mo put away the rest.
When the weather is hot, take it out and eat ready-made iced watermelon.
