"Why not? Just give me their shoe sizes and I'll have them ready in four or five days."

Ye Siyuan wore cotton shoes made by himself, which were not fancy but warm. The winter in the provincial capital was colder than that in Yidong. After all, grandpa was old and a man with a rough heart, so he would be lying if he said he was not worried.

Ye Siyuan told her the size, and Su Yihong arranged it when she got back.

Her time alone was limited, so she roped in her sister-in-law Li Qiao and used a kerosene lamp to gather together at night. It was already the end of November and the severe cold was coming, so she had to make it quickly.

After saving four days' worth of dried fish paste, Su Yian took leave and went to the county town. The dried fish paste was packed in a deep jar, which could be carried on the back when walking, and could be unpacked and placed in the car when getting into the car.

Nearly two hours later, Su Yian got off the bus at the station and was about to find an acquaintance to give him a lift. A tricycle stopped in front of Su Yian. The driver of the tricycle was a young man who asked, "Is this Su Yian from Sujiacun?"

"

Su Yian was overjoyed, "I am."

"Wen Song is my good brother, and I am Chu Lian."

"Oh, that's really troublesome for you."

"It's nothing to worry about. I'm doing some shopping and will be walking around the city at noon."

Chu Lian helped put the jar into the carriage, "It's quite heavy."

"More than twenty kilograms."

Su Yian got on the truck and followed Chu Lian to the food factory to weigh it, count the money, and get the jar back.

Chu Lian was somewhat successful, working as a buyer in the cafeteria, which was a lucrative job.

"Comrade Chu..."

"Just call me by my name."

"Chu Lian, I can also make bean sprouts, don't you need them in your cafeteria?"

Chu Lian was secretly speechless, Wen Song had found some kind of treasured wife, she knew so many things.

"There are fewer types of winter dishes, so bean sprouts are needed, so the quantity is quite large. But we can't kick them out if they are already supplied. You have to take your time. Bring some with you when you send dried fish sauce. You need seven of them first.

Ten pounds, the price is six cents a pound."

"Thank you then. We two old people can't sit around at home. Earning three melons and two dates can relieve our boredom."

Chu Lian smiled and said nothing. There were more than 200 employees in the food factory, and he had to purchase a large amount of ingredients every day. He was buying them anyway, so he might as well leave the opportunity to Su Yian and return Chu Wensong's favor.

"Chu Lian, how did you know it was me who got off the car?"

Chu Lian laughed out loud when he mentioned this, "Wen Song said that when Xiangyang ran to the county seat, the most handsome person was you!"

Su Yian, "...impossible, Captain Chu would never say such a thing. People say he is like an ice cube, cold and cold."

"Forget it if you don't believe it. If he hadn't said that, how could I have found you by chance?"

In fact, Chu Wensong's original words were: He is not very tall, about 163cm tall, and is prettier than the average person. He looks good in any clothes.

The tricycle soon drove into the food factory, and Chu Lian ordered someone to weigh the jars and then calculate the true weight.

Dried fish sauce is 26.4 taels.

"Wait here a moment, I'll go to the accounting office to settle the accounts and get the money."

After getting the money, Su Yian was ready to go back. There was a bus outside the door and you could take it to the bus station.

"Chu Lian, can we deliver it once every four days from now on?"

"Can."

"Maybe I won't deliver the goods next time. I'll ask my brother to do it."

"sure."

When Su Yian returned home, she told Su Jianjun that this way, she wouldn't have to worry about going to the black market and could supply food openly and honestly.

With sales now available, Su Dajiang and Su Jiancheng also joined in, and the fishing time was changed to evening. It was better to keep a low profile, so that the people would not worry about scarcity but inequality.

There will be more bean sprouts, and the white and red plums will be busy.

The second batch of work from the embroidery factory was also successfully delivered. After passing the test, the processing fee was paid and it was gradually distributed to individuals.

The maximum wage this time is 23.6 yuan, and female workers generally have higher wages than last month. Not surprisingly, this is the last wage payment before the year, because the New Year is coming soon.

The frequency of Captain Chu's letters in half a month was broken. The letter did not include a phone number, which made Su Yian very uncomfortable. The main reason was that he was worried that soldiers might bleed or die.

No one wants to see such a scene.

A few days later, on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the embroidery factory also announced a holiday. When everything quieted down, Su Yian realized that there had been no news from Chu Wensong for twenty days.

Unable to hold back any longer, Su Yian made a phone call to Zhong Yun, which he left behind when he was discharged from the hospital to facilitate return visits and communication.

There wasn't much foreshadowing ahead, so Su Yian quickly asked the question, and Zhong Yun also had a vague understanding, "I don't know either. I'll ask Lao He when I get off work. The troops often go on missions, and Company Commander Chu may have gone on a mission."

Su Yian didn't know much about the army, so he asked this question.

Zhong Yun joked, "You also said that you don't have that interest in our Captain Chu. You look so anxious that you look like a military wife who is worried about her husband."

Su Yian couldn't help but touch her cheek after hanging up the phone. Is it that obvious?

Su Dayou assigned a special person to guard the village's telephone number, just to avoid missing calls during the holidays. At the end of the year, relatives of commune members would also call to greet them.

By the way, maintain law and order in the embroidery factory.

After coming out of the embroidery factory, chaos suddenly broke out on the street. Su Yian, who was not sure why, grabbed a member and asked: "Third brother, what happened?"

"It seems something happened to Xie Zhiqing. Animals are animals, and they often turn against each other."

The man broke away from Su Yian's hand and ran toward the bullpen.

Su Yi'an collected her thoughts. What does it mean? It means that something happened to Xie Jinnian and he was injured by an animal.

Alas, this person has had accidents one after another. Did he get a bad luck?

Xie Jinnian helped Xie Zhijian feed the livestock. In winter, the cows ate dry corn straw. The two of them cut it into small pieces with guillotines, and then fed it into the cow's trough.

It's cold, so Xie Zhijian got up late today. Correspondingly, he got up late and fed the cows late.

As the saying goes, a cow has a bad temper. This sentence is true. While Xie Jinnian was feeding the cow, the cow suddenly went berserk and pushed him upside down.

If the cow hadn't been tied, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Xie Zhijian rolled around and ran outside to call for help.

Su Dayou and others arrived soon. For humans, cows are huge animals. No one knew how badly Xie Jinnian was injured. For this reason, they rushed to the hospital.

Someone hitched the bullock cart, and a few people carried Xie Jinnian onto the cart. The bottom was covered with straw and quilts. Ye Siyuan handed over the consignment point to Su Yian, and he accompanied Xie Jinnian to the hospital.

Zhong Yun called back in the evening and made it clear that Chu Wensong was leading a team on a mission and would be back soon.

The stone in Su Yian's heart fell to the ground. It turned out that she had been much closer to Chu Wensong without knowing it.

Xie Jinnian was sent to the county hospital. Two of his ribs were broken. He was undergoing infusion treatment and he had already woken up.
