Xue Jianguo sighed and took a hard bite of the steamed bun.
He said with anger in his heart, "I don't know what the leader of the steel rolling mill is thinking. He left you, the most powerful hunter in the city, instead of looking for someone else. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse?"
Chu Xiangqian thought it over and said, "Second brother, I guess this matter involves a fight between the leaders of the steel rolling mill. We should just pretend that we don't know that someone in the steel rolling mill is trapped in the mountains.
It would actually be a good thing if the help found in the factory could really rescue the hunting team.
In case we don’t find it, if we go into the mountain again, won’t it make us look even more powerful! "
Xue Jianguo sighed and nodded, "This is the only way."
After saying that, I finally had the time to focus on the stewed fish with shredded radish in the lunch box.
"Why are you eating fish stew again?"
Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at him, "If you dislike it, then don't eat it."
"No, no, no, no," Xue Jianguo hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish belly meat, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey, how come Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang's craftsmanship improved so much all of a sudden?"
Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "I asked them both to find a master to learn skills. Under the guidance of an expert, the skills have indeed improved very quickly."
Xue Jianguo nodded, and the two brothers ate the fish soup and fish meat, making all the four steamed buns in their hands. Then they burped and laughed happily.
Xue Jianguo also wanted to help wash the lunch box, but Chu Qianqian hurriedly waved his hand, "Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang will wash the dishes for me."
These words immediately made Xue Jianguo envious, "When I have a disciple, I will also ask him to wash dishes, pour tea, and clean the table for me."
"Come on," Chu Xiangqian hurriedly advised, "Can you and I be the same? I am in charge of the cafeteria, which means I am in charge of everyone's stomach. People wash dishes for me willingly.
If you force your apprentice to do this or that, how can you win their heart?
Besides, if the apprentice you accept in the future still needs you to take the initiative to ask him to do these small things, then you'd better stop paying attention to him as soon as possible. "
Xue Jianguo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed, this kind of person is either a white-eyed wolf or has no eyesight. Teaching him will be in vain."
The two brothers chatted for a while, and Chu Qianqian thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well go find his Xiao Laner to warm his hands at noon.
Communicate about things you like to do.
Following Xue Jianguo out, he got on his bicycle to say goodbye to him, and ran to the princess's tomb in a hurry.
As we approached the place, a basket containing 20 kilograms of Jingbai pears was hung on the handlebar and brought to the entrance of the compound.
Seeing that all four guards knew each other, he looked around, opened the lid of the basket, and winked at a few people.
Take out four and give them to the leading captain.
How dare the captain accept it, but when he thought about it, Chu Xiangqian couldn't ask for help from himself and others.
There is no need to check him when he comes in and out of this compound. If he eats a few pears, the superiors won't say anything if they find out.
But thinking so, after the captain accepted the pear, he quickly took out Bao Zhonghua from his pocket and threw it to Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Xiangqian was not polite. This kind of cigarettes supplied internally could not be bought outside, and the internal price was actually not high.
It's even distributed in quotas. Of course, the captain is definitely not high enough to smoke this kind of cigarette.
It should be given by their leader.
I said hello to the other party with a smile, then rode my bicycle and walked inside.
When the lid was closed, four more pears were added to the basket.
At noon, only the old lady and Xue Jinglan's grandparents were at home in the Xue family.
Seeing Chu Qianqian running over to deliver pears at noon, Xue Jinglan was naturally smiling.
When the old lady smiled, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Chu Xiangqian said hurriedly, "Grandma, something has changed about the second brother. I guess it has something to do with the leaders of the steel rolling mill scheming against each other.
If this thing doesn't work out, it can only be said to be bad luck. "
The old lady felt relieved.
In her eyes, meritorious service is naturally the best, but there is nothing wrong with being safe.
"have you eaten?"
Chu nodded forward, "Second brother couldn't hold it back at noon and ran to the street to find me. I ate with him."
Xue Jinglan muttered with some pity, second brother is serious, why do you keep running to the streets, and even entertain brother Qian.
When Chu Qianqian saw his little Lan'er pouting, he couldn't help but laugh, and took advantage of the old lady to pour himself tea.
He whispered, "Don't worry, your man and I have 33 kilograms of rations and 30 kilograms of ration subsidies every month.
In addition to the game brought from the mountains and rivers, let alone raising one for you, even if you have three or five babies, you will not be hungry. "
Xue Jinglan hurriedly turned to look at the old lady. Seeing that she didn't hear her, she blushed and gave Chu Qianqian a blank look.
When I saw a basket of Jingbai pears, each one was about the size of a fist, with white, smooth skin and a waxy luster. Just looking at it made me want to eat it.
After taking two, I went to the kitchen to peel them, cut them into pieces, and brought them out.
The old lady was still worried that Chu Xiangqian thought Xue Jinglan was pretentious, but Chu Xiangqian picked up the small wooden skewer next to the plate without any pretense, took a piece and brought it to herself.
The old lady felt relieved immediately.
Then Chu Qianqian pricked a piece and handed it to Xue Jinglan, and the little girl's eyes widened with a smile.
While eating, he asked, "Brother Xiangqian, how do you know the function of this little wooden sign?"
Chu Qianqian was stunned and secretly thought that this was indeed a problem. Ordinary people would not use wooden skewers to eat fruits.
Even the chiefs who came through the war years were not so affectionate.
But then I thought about it, food is scarce these days, and there are even fewer fruits.
It is normal for an apple to be divided into many pieces.
He said with a smile, "In the mountains, there were a lot of wild fruits, but apples were rarely available. So my brothers and sisters and I would cut them up and eat them separately.
As for the wooden picks, since they are placed on the plate, children will know how to use them, right? "
Xue Jinglan smiled awkwardly, knowing that she had asked a stupid question.
But as long as Chu Xiangqian doesn't feel that she is different from others, then she doesn't care about other things.
He reached out and picked up a wooden skewer and stabbed Chu Qianqian with a piece of pear.
The two of them were laughing and chatting while eating. The old lady watching on the side felt more and more that Chu Qianqian was the perfect match for her granddaughter.
It wasn't until around 2 p.m. that Chu Xiangqian got up and went to work.
Xue Jinglan was naturally reluctant to give up, so she could only look at Chu Qianqian with a pouted mouth while avoiding the old lady's sight at the door.
Chu looked forward, but he still didn't understand.
He smiled, hugged her and kissed her.
A few seconds later, Xue Jinglan stood at the door with her heart pounding, watching Chu Qianqian get on the bicycle, waving to herself to leave, and then closed the door in a bad mood.
Sitting on the sofa, the old lady started teasing me.
The shy little girl hurriedly ran back to her room and lay on the bed, thinking about Chu Xiangqian's visit to her granary just now.
He secretly scolded Chu Qianqian for being a gangster, but was secretly happy that he liked his granary so much.
After Chu Xiangqian returned to the street, seeing that nothing happened, he simply hid in the cafeteria, folded a few stools together, closed his eyes and dozed off, and let the tits fly towards Mentougou again.
Because the long-tailed tit had already discovered the location of the hunting team at the rolling mill yesterday, and even Chu Qianqian couldn't walk much in a day by walking on the mountain road.
The tits flew into the mountains and found them again only ten minutes later.
Chu Xiangqian just looked at it for a few times and then shook his head. Although the sun came out today, the hunting team could easily determine the directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
But when walking in the mountains, you don't always get out by walking in one direction.
Mentougou is about 62 kilometers long from east to west and 34 kilometers wide from north to south. It is a remnant of the Taihang Mountains and has a dangerous terrain with a total of 300 dangerous ditches.
Moreover, there are many mountains, with tall and steep peaks and steep peaks.
Walking in one direction, just climbing mountains, walking two or three hills a day will exhaust the physical strength of ordinary people.
If you go into the deep mountains and old forests where even hunters don't go, it will be even more difficult to be found. It is even impossible to meet the ground search and rescue team.
If it were Chu Xiangqian who led the team, he would definitely find a hilltop, be prepared for fire prevention, and light a few fires.
Relying on the thick smoke, it is easier to be discovered by the forest rangers or mountain people.
Moreover, the forest rangers themselves have the responsibility for fire prevention. They will definitely rush over to check and send people to report the discovery and be ready to put out the fire.
Unfortunately, the group at the steel rolling mill only focused on walking eastward and never thought about finding a suitable place to camp and wait for rescue.
Chu Xiangqian saw that no one in the hunting team was injured, and they were carrying a large, two small, and three wild boars, and they had guns in their hands, so naturally he was not worried about their safety.
Let the chickadee fly east, and after searching for a long time, I saw a search team composed of 5 people in Sitai Village.
Moreover, the team this time was actually the same five people who shot and killed a wild boar yesterday when Titmouse was driving the wild boar away.
After thinking about it for a moment, I probably felt that these five people could hunt down wild boars in the mountains and come out smoothly, so they must be a capable and experienced team.
As soon as they came out of the mountain, they immediately asked them for help.
On the other hand, if he wanted to find Chu Xiangqian, he would have to come all the way from the city.
Just riding in the car takes several hours.
If he waits for him to prepare and prepare, even if he rushes over, it will be dark soon.
Had to wait another night.
If you think so, finding another team is the normal choice.
In this case, Chu Xiangqian simply ignored the matter for the time being.
I just didn't expect that after returning home from get off work, Yu Xiao'e and two middle-aged men were waiting at the door of her house.
"Xiao Chu, your Damao brother has been in the mountains for four days, but there has been no news. I asked the factory, but they said everything is fine. He should be back tomorrow."
Chu Qianqian pretended to be surprised and asked hurriedly, "Who will be the guide when Damao goes into the mountain?"
When Yu Xiao'e and Xu Damao's parents heard what he said, they suddenly felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.
The three of them all shook their heads with uneasy expressions on their faces. Chu Qianqian frowned and pretended to be worried and said, "Well, when we go into the mountains this winter, we are most afraid of snow.
Second, I am afraid that the snow will cover up the familiar terrain, making it easier to get lost.
The third point is the most terrifying. After snow, it will be very cold in the mountains, accompanied by strong winds, and you will easily freeze to death.
Since you all said that Damao has been in the mountains for four days, it seems to be really dangerous. After all, I don’t dare to stay in the mountains for that long in winter. "
Xu Damao's parents turned pale after hearing this.
Uncle Xu's legs weakened in anxiety, and he almost fell to the ground if it weren't for the help of his wife and Lou Xiao'e.
Chu Qianqian hurriedly stepped forward and helped help Uncle Xu into his home.
After drinking a few sips of hot water and calming down for a while, Lao Xu finally came to his senses and put the matter aside. He even told why Xu Damao went into the mountain.
This kid is also unlucky.
There has just been a tiger attack in Sitai Village, so the superiors and the MTG area will naturally think about how to appease them.
After being given a lot of money and food, Xu Damao was sent to Sita Village to show a few movies.
Even though Xu Damao is a projectionist at a steel rolling mill, seeing that he often goes to the countryside, you know that his job is not just about showing movies for the steel rolling mill.
Then he was picked up by Xie Zhen, the logistics director of the steel rolling mill who took over the hunting mission, and drove to Sita Village in a truck.
After Uncle Xu finished speaking, he grabbed Chu Qianqian's hand and said, "Comrade Chu, please save our family Damao."
Aunt Xu and Lou Xiao'e also showed pleading expressions, Chu Qianqian nodded, "Since you asked me for help, I also get along well with Damao, so naturally I won't ignore this matter.
It’s just that it’s definitely impossible to enter the mountains tonight, and it’s best to have a car to take me to the mountains as soon as possible tomorrow morning. "
"Yes, yes, we must send a truck." Uncle Xu quickly looked at Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, I have to ask you to ask Director Lou to borrow your truck."
Lou Xiao'e's family not only owns a car, but also has two trucks.
In the TV series, when the Lou family ran away overnight, one car left with their valuables, but the other car was still in the garage at home.
When going into the mountains, cars are really not as useful as trucks.
Lou Xiao'e nodded hurriedly. Although she had relationship problems with Xu Damao, and even had an affair with Chu Xiangqian, she had been married for two years after all, and it was impossible to ignore her.
Go find your biological father when you go out.
After Lou Xiao'e left, Uncle Xu took out a red cloth bag from his pocket and revealed four gold bars inside.
Chu Qianqian was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Damao's parents to be so willing.
But if you think about it carefully, if it were you, you would definitely spend everything you have to save your only son.
"Comrade Chu, I know that talking about money hurts feelings, but I beg you to accept it, otherwise your aunt and I will feel uncomfortable at the same time.
Just think of it as giving us two old men and old ladies peace of mind. And 6 gold bars were presented afterwards. "
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that Xu Damao's father's level was much higher.
These words alone are much smarter than Xu Damao.
A gold bar worth one tael cost about 220 to 240 yuan last month, but now its actual purchasing power must have dropped a lot.
But ten gold bars are at least more than 2,000, which is a generous reward.
Although Chu Xiangqian wanted to save Xu Damao and a dozen people in the steel rolling mill, it would be best if he could get something in return while saving people.
But I was not sure whether Uncle Xu would get angry after receiving this gold bar, so I took the opportunity to control my own thoughts.
"Don't worry, Comrade Chu, if word gets out about the gold bars, my husband and I will be in big trouble.
You know this, my husband and I know this, and no fourth person will know it.
Even Damao, we don't plan to tell him, lest this kid will be thinking about our little pension money all day long. "
Xu Damao begged for two gold bars from his parents last time. Chu Xiangqian not only knew about this, but the gold bars also went into his pocket.
And as long as it doesn't involve official business, and you save someone's life in exchange for a reward, the superiors will often say that this person's thinking is not progressive enough, but they cannot say that he violates the law.
So Chu nodded forward and reached out to put away the gold bars.
