Chapter 34 Highway Encounter

That night, the mistress ate fragrant braised mutton, took a warm bath, and was tucked into the quilt by Father Shen.

Because there are only two rooms in the house, the youngest son can only live in the same room with Father Shen.

As a modern person who pays great attention to privacy, Zhang Chunnuan deeply feels the importance of personal space.

I have already planned to build two more rooms in the yard, one of which is wider, so that the third son can live alone for the time being, and when the seventeenth birthday comes, the two brothers will live together.

The other one was built close to my room, which was more refined and reserved for little August.

By the way, the courtyard wall should be raised a little higher so that Long Tiezhu and Li Suizui's family can't always be seen.

In fact, if possible, Zhang Chunnuan would like to ask the brigade to re-approval a piece of homestead land and build a green brick yard far away from the Long family.

That would be too ostentatious...and she might not have enough money.

Thinking of money, Zhang Chunnuan thought that she must go to that highway before the year before.

As I was thinking about it, I fell asleep without even realizing it.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chunnuan got up at dawn.

First, I fed the two little guys, changed the cotton cloth, made breakfast and finished it, and warmed the rest in the pot.

Carrying a basket on his back, holding cotton cloth and cotton in his arms, he said hello to Father Shen who had just gotten up, and then left home.

She first went to Zhou's house and asked Aunt Guihua to make a cotton coat and trousers for her mistress, and then she walked out of the village carrying a basket on her back.

After leaving the village at the foot of the mountain, she increased her speed to the fastest speed and arrived at the road in less than a quarter of an hour.

It is said to be a road, but in fact it is only twice as wide as the road to the commune, and it is not paved with cement, but with cinders and gravel.

Zhang Chunnuan put down the backpack. This time she brought the largest backpack in the family. It was half a person tall and could hold 200 kilograms. Father Shen mostly used it to collect firewood in the mountains.

In fact, the excuse she used to run out this time was to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

After standing next to the basket and thinking for a moment, Zhang Chunnuan began to unload things from the farm.

Two pairs of pig's feet, 50 pieces of pork weighing one kilogram, and half a fan of mutton, also divided into strips weighing one kilogram, totaling one hundred kilograms.

Zhang Chunnuan put another bag of cured fish, three cured rabbits, ten kilograms of rice, and ten kilograms of dry noodles into the basket on his back.

After putting these away, I saw that there was still some space in the basket, so I took out a few more apples and stuffed the basket full.

Place a piece of cotton cloth on the backpack and stack a large baggage filled with cotton cloth of various colors.

Zhang Chunnuan took out the scarf she brought specially and covered her entire head and face, leaving only a pair of looking eyes.

After standing with her hands in her pockets for about ten minutes, she changed to a standing position with her hands on her hips and stood for another ten minutes.

Is it the Chinese New Year and all the truck drivers who pull mines are on holiday?

Zhang Chunnuan also deliberately talked to Wang Dongxue and learned the approximate travel time of truck drivers from other places at the mine.

Generally speaking, truck drivers arrive at the mine the day before, eat and drink, and then set off early the next morning.

Could it be that she really came so unluckily?!

Zhang Chunnuan raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, estimated the time in his mind, and thought:

If no one comes after another half hour, I will go back!

She took out a large handful of spiced melon seeds from the warehouse, cracking them while waiting.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the roar of cars was heard in the distance, and then the road surface shook.

Coming!

She quickly stood up straight, somewhat similar to the little white poplars on both sides of the road.

Two trucks came, with license plate numbers in the format of "1 red star and 5 digits".

Zhang Chunnuan, who had the memory of the original owner, quickly identified that both cars had Beijing license plates.

As for how the original owner knew, it could only be told to her by Shen Hu.

The two cars were about 10 meters apart and arrived in front of Zhang Chunnuan in the blink of an eye.

The driver in the car in front probably saw Zhang Chunnuan and deliberately lowered his speed, stopping half way past her.

The car behind him also stopped when he saw this, and there was still a distance of 10 meters between the two cars.

A total of four men got out of the two cars. It seemed that they were a master and an apprentice.

When the two masters saw Zhang Chunnuan and the large backpack beside her, they stepped forward and said:

"Comrade, if you have any good things, please tell us."

Zhang Chunnuan did not do as he asked, but instead asked: "What do you want? Let me say it first, I don't want the rare things you brought, I just want money and national bills."

As soon as she finished speaking, the apprentice with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks among the four stretched out his hand towards the backpack, "You are a woman, how dare you bargain with us!"

"Xiao Li!" One of the masters reprimanded him, but the other master stopped him: "Old Cui, Xiao Li is my nephew and my apprentice. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Zhang Chunnuan stood aside, and before Xiao Li touched the baggage on the backpack, he lifted the things behind him with both hands.

He stepped forward and pinched Xiao Li's wrist, applying slight pressure.

"Ah! My hand! Master! Uncle! My hand hurts so much!"

Hearing his cries of pain, the two masters who were still arguing looked over. Seeing that Xiao Li's face was in pain and his forehead was covered with sweat, they quickly came over to stop Zhang Chunnuan.

"Let go of my nephew! Otherwise I will be rude to you!"

Zhang Chunnuan glanced at the man sideways, and then realized that his eyebrows were very similar to those of Xiao Li who was held in his hand.

A nephew is like an uncle, as expected.

She sarcastically said: "If your nephew wants to rob me, a common man, I won't be afraid of trying to reason with you no matter where you go!"

As she said that, she added a little more strength to her hand, which immediately made Xiao Li cry out for his father and mother in pain.

"Sister-in-law, please let Xiao Li go. If you pinch him any more, his wrist will be broken."

The master named Lao Cui also stepped forward and advised: "It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. We only rely on one hand to drive. You will feel uneasy about the future of a useless person."

Zhang Chunnuan pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then threw Xiao Li away.

"Hmph, let's forget it this time. If there is a next time... a strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake. Unless you never take this path again, I will deal with you sooner or later!"

Master and apprentice Xiao Li glared at Zhang Chunnuan bitterly, got into the first truck in a hurry, and drove away quickly.

The master and apprentice named Cui were left behind. They both looked very similar. They both had faces with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and very decent looks.

After what happened just now, Zhang Chunnuan felt that the master and apprentice would not be foolish enough to cut it for him again, so he explained:

"I have pig's feet, pork, mutton, cured fish, cured rabbit, polished rice, noodles, and these cloths here."

With that said, she opened the baggage on her backpack and showed the fabric to the two of them, "What do you want?"

When Lao Cui heard her introduction, his heart moved. They are all good things that even money and tickets cannot buy!

As for his little apprentice, his eyes couldn't help but shine as he looked at the fabric in the bag.

That little floral cloth looks so refreshing and has a light pink color, just like the peach blossoms in spring.
