At six o'clock in the morning, Lou Xiaolou took his secretary Lu Xue and left the county seat and went straight to Rainbow Town.
She came down this time just for a "private visit".
It is said that it is a private interview incognito, but in fact it is just to find problems and find faults, in order to give Cui Xiangdong a blow!
Although Rainbow Town is a town, it also has a large area of water; it is a large farming town with a population of 60,000 and 36 natural administrative villages.
When Lou Xiaolou comes down this time, in addition to his primary task (picking holes in Cui Xiangdong), he will also carefully inspect the farming and economic conditions of the town.
The car stopped and stopped, and it was noon before we knew it.
The two of them ate and brought bread in the car, took a short rest, and then started a new inspection.
The afternoon inspection was no longer aimless.
Rather, it is quite targeted——
Lou Xiaolou decided to go to Cui Xiangdong through Min Roupan's plastic factory.
Generally speaking, whenever a company changes hands, the villagers whose land is occupied will basically have a lot of thoughts.
In order to avoid exposing his identity, Lou Xiaolou parked his car here and walked over.
"Wang Linhai said that the plastic factory is in the northwest farthest from the center of the town. It is probably here."
Lu Xue caught up with Lou Xiaolou: "Sister Xiaolou, if we don't encounter anything that can discredit Cui Xiangdong, will you still go to the town government?"
"If I can't meet him, then why should I look for him?"
Lou Xiaolou smiled, twisted her plump waist, raised her left foot wearing a small black leather sandal, and stepped over a small pit.
half past twelve
On a June day, a child's face changes at will.
Especially during the wheat harvest season.
Min Rou is quite experienced in this area.
"Uncle, it might rain. Let's go back to the factory."
Min Rou, who had a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth, gently pulled Cui Xiangdong.
Cui Xiangdong came to the woods and briefly explained to Min Rou the "core technology" of beef bowl noodles. He then hugged Jiaojiao and sat against the tree, gradually falling asleep.
After being woken up by Min Rou, Cui Xiangdong looked up and looked out of the woods.
A black line appeared on the northwest skyline.
That black line is the dark cloud blown by the wind.
There is a folk saying that goes like this: "If it rains from the northwest, it will not rain well."
The general idea is that the dark clouds blown by the northwest wind are full of moisture and may rain as much rain as possible in the shortest time; they may also be mixed with hail.
Perhaps feeling the change in temperature, Jiaojiao also woke up.
"Well, you and Jiaojiao go back to the factory first."
Cui Xiangdong put Jiaojiao on the ground, raised his finger and pointed in the distance, indicating to the little girl to go over there for convenience.
When a child wakes up from sleep, he or she will usually panic.
Jiaojiao, who was wearing a cute little floral skirt, was still very well-behaved and ran away by herself.
"You won't go back?"
After Min Rou made sure Jiaojiao wasn't running around, she asked Cui Xiangdong.
"It's going to rain soon. I'll help that family pile wheat."
Cui Xiangdong raised his hand again and pointed to the south of the woods.
Min Rou looked up.
On the highway section closest to them, there were two nearby villagers drying wheat.
After the trade wind coming from the west brought the news that there might be heavy rain, the two families quickly piled up wheat.
There were seven or eight people in that family in the south, all filling their bags with wheat.
It seems that people have been prepared for a long time, because the wheat is almost drying, and then it is packed in bags to be transported home.
In the house to the north, there was a pair of shirtless men, apparently a father and son.
Their wheat has not yet been dried, so they can only pile it on the ground, cover it with plastic sheets, and then spread it out after the rain.
"You don't need to go, they've basically collected it."
Min Rou stood up, looked around, and said to Cui Xiangdong: "Uncle, why do I think that among the people packing wheat in the south, one of them seems to be the town's Ma committeeman?"
The member Ma she was talking about was the propaganda committee member Ma Jing.
Cui Xiangdong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at it for a moment: "Don't tell me, it's really her."
It is normal for cadres in the town to have farmland at home.
Ma Jing took advantage of her lunch break to come here to help harvest wheat.
Since there are many people on Ma Jing's side, the harvest will be finished soon; the other household only needs to pile the wheat, so there is no need for Cui Xiangdong to go there.
He didn't want to go back to the factory until it rained.
How cool is it here?
The key is that the factory is not far from here, so it's not too late to leave after it starts raining.
He won't leave.
Immediately after waking up, he searched for Jiaojiao's "cicada" throughout the forest and didn't want to leave.
Then we'll talk about it later.
Cui Xiangdong lit a cigarette, looked at Ma Jing, and started telling Min Rou about the big bowl of noodles.
Far away.
Cui Xiangdong saw Ma Jing and others loading all the wheat, which amounted to seventy or eighty bags.
Her family also arrived with a donkey cart and started loading it.
It's definitely not enough to pull in one trip.
But you have to unload the truck.
Cui Xiangdong saw Ma Jing staying and looking at the wheat while the others carried the donkey cart home and went to unload the cart together.
At this time, the father and son in the north had also finished piling up the wheat.
The black line coming from the northwest is getting thicker and thicker.
There is a real possibility of heavy rain.
Ma Jing, who was only a hundred meters away from Cui Xiangdong, raised her head and looked around, then quickly walked towards the wheat straw pile not far away.
It looks like she went to relieve herself.
"Let's go."
Cui Xiangdong put out his cigarette butt and hooked his hand with Jiaojiao in the distance, gesturing for her to come over.
Min Rou suddenly said: "Uncle! Look at those two people, are they trying to steal the horse committee member's wheat?"
Cui Xiangdong looked back——
I saw the father and son, while Ma Jing was going to relieve herself behind the wheat straw pile, quickly ran towards her wheat pile.
They were extremely agile. Each of them picked up a bag of wheat, ran to the back of a wheat straw pile, covered it with a small plastic sheet, and then sprinkled the wheat straw on it.
"Hey, he really stole things."
Cui Xiangdong, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, laughed and stood up.
Of course he would not sit back and watch as the father and son stole Ma Jing's wheat.
Let alone Ma Jing's family, they can't steal from anyone else!
"Jiaojiao, come here quickly."
When Cui Xiangdong clapped his hands, he saw Ma Jing walking out from behind the wheat straw pile.
Before and after she returned to Wheat, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
Because there was a bag containing wheat and a red fertilizer bag, but now it is gone.
She was delayed for two minutes after going to the wheat straw pile.
Her house and the father and son were the only ones on the road!
Besides them, who else could steal her wheat in such a short period of time?
Ma Jing immediately became angry and walked over quickly.
Cui Xiangdong also picked up Jiaojiao at this time, and when he was about to walk out of the woods to the other side, Min Rou pulled him and whispered: "Uncle, look! Does that woman look like Sister Xiaoya?"
Cui Xiangdong followed Min Rou's fingers and looked to the north of the woods.
Two women were walking through the woods from the east.
They were only a few dozen meters away from Cui Xiangdong and the others.
But neither the woman holding the straw hat nor the young girl noticed Cui Xiangdong and the others.
Huh.
This woman really looks like Lou Xiaoya.
When Cui Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, he heard a word blown by the northwest wind: "Sister Xiaolou, through this forest, you will find Cui Xiangdong's factory."
