A little after four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Wen pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard. The rear wheel fell from the threshold and made a sound.
The third uncle looked up and saw that Su Wen's car was empty and there was nothing there. "Xiao Su, why didn't you buy anything when you went shopping in the countryside this time? Could it be that something happened and someone robbed you?"
"I handed over the things purchased by the third uncle to the steel rolling mill. I was not robbed. Why didn't the third uncle go to work today? Isn't this your style?"
"The school didn't have my class in the afternoon, so I came back a little early."
Su Wen pushed his bicycle through the hanging flower door and saw Qin Huairu bending down to wash clothes. He couldn't help but feel shocked. In such a cold weather, he had to wash clothes with cold water without fear of frostbite. In front of Shazhu's house, there are several old people in the courtyard sitting and basking in the sun.
When I opened the door to my room, I found that the room was very cold, and the two stoves had long been extinguished. Su Wen pushed the bicycle into the house and lifted the stove outside. There was still some dry firewood that he got back from the third uncle's house last time. Su Wen pressed the briquettes on top of the lit dry firewood. Not long after, two firewood popped out of the backyard. There was a thick smoke. Su Wen fanned the stove for a while with a small fan. The smoke gradually faded. Su Wen looked down through the holes of the briquettes and saw that the bottom briquette had been lit.
The room was very cold. After sitting for a while, Su Wen felt that his feet were numb from the cold. He stood up and stamped his feet vigorously, preparing to go out and move the stove into the room. When he walked out of the door, he saw Xu Damao standing sleepily. Stretching in front of the door.
"Brother Damao didn't go to work today?"
"I said why is there such a strong smell of smoke? It turns out that your kid is lighting the stove here. I'm preparing for a wedding. I went out to buy things in the middle of the night. I'm so sleepy after staying up all night. How about you going to the countryside? Gained?"
"Brother Damao, I'm sorry. Everything I brought back was taken away by Logistics Director Li. I met Director Li as soon as I entered the factory. I'll invite you out for dinner tonight to make amends."
"Forget it about eating, just remember to come to my wedding on the weekend."
"It's okay, Brother Damao, I haven't eaten either, and I don't want to start the fire alone. Let's go and have a bowl of mutton soup to warm ourselves up. Let's go together." As he spoke, Su Wen lifted a stove into the room, and Xu Damao wanted to help lift another one. Grabbing the handles on both sides without moving them, Xu Damao looked at Su Wen with an embarrassed look.
"Brother Damao, you don't need to get started, I can just pick it up myself."
Su Wen followed Xu Damao to a mutton soup restaurant and ordered two bowls of mutton soup and six sesame seed cakes, which cost Su Wen 1.2 yuan. A bowl of mutton soup costs 30 cents, and you can add any soup you like. After Su Wen paid, he found a seat and sat down. Only then did he realize that Xu Damao had not followed him. When he turned around, he saw Xu Damao walking over with a bottle of Niulanshan.
"Brother Su Wen, you treat me to mutton soup, and I'll treat you to wine."
As he spoke, Xu Damao opened the wine bottle and poured wine for Su Wen. Was stopped by Su Wen. "Brother Damao, wait until the mutton soup pancakes are served. Let's eat something to cushion our stomach before drinking. I can't stand drinking on an empty stomach and make me vomit after one drink. I'll be fine if I eat something to cushion my stomach."
"OK."
Su Wen drank more than half of a bottle of white wine. Xu Damao had already ducked under the table. Su Wen put the remaining two sesame seed cakes into his pocket, moved his body, picked up Xu Damao and took him back to the courtyard. He took out the key, opened the door and threw Xu Damao on the bed.
"Su Wen, you're back. I have something to ask you." Silly Zhu saw Su Wen carrying Xu Damao back and followed him to the backyard.
Su Wen came out from Xu Damao and closed the door. "What's wrong, Master He?"
"My question is, was the puddle of water at the gate the day I fell down because you peed on it?" Silly Zhu looked at Su Wen angrily.
Su Wen replied calmly: "No, I'm not a three-year-old kid still peeing in the yard."
"You were the only new one in the yard and you didn't know that the key to the door was right next to it. You got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and the door was closed. You couldn't hold it in anymore so you peed at the door."
"This is all your guess. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, get out of the way and I'm going home."
"Seeing you hanging out with Xu Damao, I know you are not a good person. Please be careful not to fall into my hands in the future."
Section Chief Liu Dashan of the Purchasing Section and Captain Li of the Security Section followed the purchasing convoy of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative out of Sijiu City in a jeep.
Four or five hours later, Liu Dashan discovered that the convoy seemed to be heading in the wrong direction. When the convoy took a break for lunch, Liu Dashan found Director Wang, who was leading the team from the supply and marketing cooperative. "Director Wang, are we going in the wrong direction?"
"Yes, our destination is not the border of Inner Mongolia. We are going to Huludao, Liaoning Province. We will arrive at noon tomorrow. There is a batch of seafood there for us."
"Ah, Director Wang, what should we do?" Section Chief Liu didn't know how to explain to Director Li when he got back.
"You can choose to go with us. The port is so big. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find fishermen in exchange for some seafood. If there is a snowstorm on the China-Mongolia border, you won't get anything. Of course, you can also go back now. "
Liu Dashan returned to the jeep, "Lao Li, our destination this time is Huludao. Do you think we should continue to follow?"
"Old Liu, let's go with you. We are all here. We have to try it anyway. It shouldn't be difficult to find fishermen in exchange for some aquatic products when we get there."
Arriving at Huludao Port at noon the next day, Director Wang gave Section Chief Liu one afternoon to purchase supplies. He had to return to the guest house to rest before six o'clock. At three o'clock the next day, we would set off and rush back to Sijiu City. After an afternoon of hard work, Section Chief Liu received more than 100 kilograms of salted fish. Fresh sea fish is very popular in winter and can be stored for a long time. Section Chief Liu can't exchange it without the popular supplies.
Forty-nine cities could be seen in the distance, and Section Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief, having returned safely.
When they were on the road in the middle of the night, they encountered several groups of people setting up roadblocks to rob. When they encountered roadblocks, Director Wang would have people open fire on both sides of the mainland. While arranging people to clear the roadblocks, he would also have people open fire on both sides of the mainland to show off. Their strength. It was a smooth journey back.
The big cars in front slowly stopped. Before Section Chief Liu could get out of the car to ask, he saw Director Wang coming with two people carrying two snakeskin bags. "This is the 200 kilograms of fish our leader promised to Li Huaide. Take it back and tell him clearly that we will separate after entering the city." After Director Wang finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Liu Dashan to say anything. The convoy did not wait for them anymore and drove away directly. Several people in the car got off and stuffed the two snakeskin bags into the trunk. It took them a long time to get it done. Looking up, there was only one small person left in the supply and marketing cooperative's convoy. Dark spot.
