It’s already past 8 o’clock after we’ve had enough food and wine. This mutton meal costs a full 32 yuan, and the per capita consumption is 8 yuan. That’s quite extravagant.
Since the destination was not in the same direction, Hou Jianjun and Chen Guangliang left together, and Jiang Dongfang and Comrade Xiao Du rode all the way back.
"Xiao Du, Chen Guangliang's job is dangerous."
"Uncle, I understand."
"Okay, if you really want to practice, don't be careless and don't underestimate the enemy."
"Well, uncle, I want to practice shooting recently. I haven't fired a gun in more than a month. Besides, I have a new gun, so it's a bit rough."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
We rode all the way back to Yu Huaihai's house. Comrade Xiao Du originally said that he would send Jiang Dongfang back first, but he just told Xiao Du to get out.
Today, the amount of information for Comrade Xiao Du is quite large.
Today, I first reported to work, received a pistol, and learned the daily work content.
At noon, I tasted the authentic chili sauce.
When I was off work, I personally starred in a large social death scene.
For dinner, we had the excellent lamb and scorpion pot at a private restaurant. Then we heard the news that Zuo Erhu's family was in good health, and saw the strength of his uncles and uncles.
Finally, we received an invitation for force support from the branch’s Investigation Division.
He felt that his brain capacity was a bit insufficient, and his memory was roaring like crazy.
Back at Yu Huaihai's residence, Yu Huaihai was leaning on the bed and reading a novel.
"Master Du, this new military uniform smells of wine and meat. Damn, did your grandson go out to eat alone?"
"Don't bother me, uncle, I'm tired."
"Hey Virtue!"
It was already past 9 o'clock, and there was no one in the courtyard.
Xiao Du changed his clothes. He didn't even wear a vest. He wore big pants, shirtless, and a lean and strong upper body. He carried a washbasin and a footbath and walked to the pool in the yard.
Wash your hair, face, feet, and wipe your body and legs.
After working hard all day, even with Xiao Du's abnormal physique, his body was still sticky.
After cleaning up, I feel much refreshed.
After returning to the house and lying on the bed, Xiao Du and Yu Huaihai talked about the fate of Zuo Erhu's family and the arrogance of their uncles. Xiao Du actually fell asleep while talking.
I am really too tired today, my brain is a bit numb and I can’t turn around.
Comrade Xiao Du woke up in the middle of the night, had erotic dreams, and drew a map. In the middle of the night, he had to change into a pair of big pants and go to the yard to wash his pants.
This seasoned mutton is really strong.
Yu Huaihai laughed so much that he lost his temper, "Grandson, I'm going to let you eat alone to make up for your hair."
Xiao Du ignored him at all and had no sense of shame.
This is a normal thing for a young single guy to do, so he finishes cleaning up and goes to bed.
The next few days were relatively stable, and Xiao Du's life was also very regular. In the morning, he and Yu Huaihai went to the breakfast shop to have breakfast, then went to work in the steel rolling mill, and continued to learn the work process.
Comrade Xiao Du would not dare to go to the canteen anymore when he asked his colleagues to help him prepare lunch and ate in the office.
When getting off work, Comrade Xiao Du also stayed in the duty room at the entrance of the factory and no longer exercised his keen eye. Female colleagues expressed their disappointment at this.
Every night when I go home, I cook and eat with Yu Huaihai. It makes them seem like a young couple, and they are still living a good life.
Yu Huaihai gets off work early and is still close to home. He buys food and cooks every day. He complains every day, but Xiao Du has basically cooked dinner when he gets home every day.
Mr. Yu is not honest, which is very typical. He actually enjoys this feeling of having companions and relying on each other.
Of course, readers don’t need to worry, this is definitely not a beautiful article, and the three views are definitely straight.
On Army Day, August 1, Xiao Du officially started working the night shift with Wang Xiao. When he had nothing to do during the day, he went to Zuojia Commune.
It had only been a few days since we met Zuo Lan again, but the little girl had actually gained a little weight and become fairer. She was wearing clothes that must have been picked up by Yu Moli, but Aunt Zuo had them altered to fit her perfectly.
Seeing Du Weiguo, he was naturally very happy, crying and laughing at the same time.
She seems to be in a honey pot now. She can eat three meals a day and a cup of malted milk every day, and no one dares to scold her anymore.
Aunt Zuo glanced at Xiao Du secretly and spoke.
"I heard that Zuo Erhu was sentenced, and even his mother-in-law was sentenced."
Xiao Du said noncommittally: "Really? Now no one in the village wants to recognize Niu Niu as a girl, right?"
Aunt Zuo smiled, and all the sadness on her face disappeared:
"The two remaining brothers from the Zuo family led the mother-in-law and children to kneel down all over our courtyard. They were so scared that they peed their pants. Who dared to mention this matter?"
"They are sick. Zuo Erhu went in because of intentional injury. Why are you kneeling in your courtyard?"
"Yes, the old secretary came and said the same thing, and then drove them all away."
"Well, the old secretary is a sensible person. Madam, I just happened to bring some meat and two bottles of good wine today. You will cook two dishes later, and we will treat the old secretary to a drink at noon."
"Okay, I'll go cook now."
At noon, Comrade Xiao Du invited the old secretary to dinner alone, with Aunt Zuo and Niu Niu accompanying him.
Stewed vermicelli with pork and cabbage, stir-fried pepper with meat, stir-fried eggs with green onions, stewed eggplant with potatoes, steamed buns with Erhe noodle, and Fen wine.
The food is rich and the menu is very affordable.
Today Xiao Du brought 2 pounds of pork and a bag of eggs.
Because he had to work the night shift at night, Xiao Du didn't drink much, just about three taels. The old secretary was old and couldn't drink more.
The old secretary is a very discerning person. What happened to Zuo Erhu and his family was obviously due to Du Weiguo's methods.
But he was an upright person, opportunistic, intentional harm, the evidence is conclusive, and he was caught on the spot, an active crime.
The sentence was harsh and no one in the family could be spared.
Such a thunderbolt-like method shocked the whole commune. This Niuniu, now called Zuo Lan's brother, is really an amazing big shot.
The bodhisattva's heart has diamond means.
To borrow the words of the old secretary: "From now on, no one in these ten miles and eight villages will dare to mess with Niuniu's family."
Yes, that's the effect I want.
After lunch, Xiao Du also asked the old secretary to help buy some half-sized chickens for Zuo Da’s family, including roosters and hens, and raised them in the yard. They would be able to lay eggs in a few months.
As for the hens that lay eggs and the roosters that crow, those things are not easy to buy in rural areas, and every household regards them as treasures.
Comrade Xiao Du told Aunt Zuo that she didn’t need to save the eggs to sell them, but kept them for her own consumption to supplement her nutrition.
After returning from Zuojia Commune, it was rare that Comrade Xiao Du cooked a meal for Yu Huaihai today, and it was a good meal.
Aunt Zuo steamed Erhe noodle buns at noon and bought a young rooster from the commune. Xiao Du gave Mr. Yu a meal of chicken stewed with vermicelli. There were no mushrooms at home, only vermicelli.
When Yu Huaihai returned home, he had a bite of the ready-made food and a whole glass of wine. It was fragrant and delicious.
However, Comrade Xiao Du had already finished eating, and he had already gone to work in the steel rolling mill. He worked night shifts for a month. From then on, yin and yang were separated, and black and white were reversed.
At 5:45, Comrade Xiao Du arrived at the south gate of the steel rolling mill.
Chief Hao and Wang Xiao handed over the work. Xiao Du and the security captain on duty that night went directly to the equipment department to receive guns, long-barrel flashlights, and whistles.
They all have night shift equipment, including a whistle and a flashlight.
It should be said that the night shift is much more lively than the day shift.
