Yu Jinggui saw Chen Zhaozhao outside the supply and marketing cooperative but did not go in. Originally, he was going directly to the grain station.
Yu Jinggui looked at her and smiled and said: "I was planning to go back, but when I saw that you didn't go back with Village Chief Zhao, I waited for you to come out and see what you wanted to do. I haven't gone to work yet, so I can send you there."
"Ah~ That's it." Chen Zhaozhao smiled sheepishly, "Thank you for worrying so much~"
"You're welcome, where are you going? Get in the car!"
Chen Zhaozhao refused, "No, I can go by myself. I plan to go to the black market."
"Why are you going to the black market?" Yu Jinggui asked.
"Uh, buy some flour tickets." Chen Zhaozhao said sheepishly.
The croquettes require flour. The flour she bought last time is no longer available, so she has to buy more.
Flour from the supply and marketing cooperative is expensive and you need to have a ticket to buy it, unlike soybeans, which are abundant and cheap and can be directly exchanged for vegetables.
Yu Jinggui is the leader of the grain station, so it would not be a good idea to take him to the black market.
Selling tickets on the black market is worse than selling things, and the punishment for being caught is even heavier.
This was also done in front of Yu Jinggui. If it were in front of other pedantic leaders, she would not dare to say it.
"Are you just buying flour tickets?" Yu Jinggui asked calmly.
Chen Zhaozhao nodded.
"Well, I'll bring you flour back tonight. How much do you want?"
"No, no, I can just buy it myself."
"There are few flour stamps in Huixi County, and they are expensive on the black market and not cost-effective. I have a quota every month, and other people at the grain station also have quotas, but almost no one uses them. If you want, I can exchange the grain stamps with them."
Chen Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, "Then I'll give you food stamps and you can help me change them."
"Do you have food stamps?" Yu Jinggui asked.
Chen Zhaozhao shook his head, "But it's cheaper to buy food stamps."
"..." Yu Jinggui took out five ten-pound food stamps from his pocket and handed them to Chen Zhaozhao.
Chen Zhaozhao didn't answer and looked at him questioningly.
"I often come to your house for dinner, so I should give you food stamps. Take them."
"No." Chen Zhaozhao, "You buy so many things every time you come here. One or two meals is nothing."
"In that case, I can't break the law and sell it to you. I'll give it to you. If you feel bad about it, just compensate me with something."
"What?"
"Eating, sewing clothes and so on."
Chen Zhaozhao thought about it and thought it was feasible, "Okay, thank you. I want ten pounds of flour first."
"Okay, I'll take these food stamps and I'll exchange them for flour for you when I go back tonight. Let me know next time you want flour."
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao happily agreed, "Thank you, Comrade Yu, for taking such trouble to help me."
In her impression, Yu Jinggui was polite and distant to others. When he was an educated youth, when someone asked him for help, he would point them in the direction and let them solve the problem themselves.
Although everyone thinks highly of him, some say he is cold and cold-hearted.
She didn't expect that Comrade Yu would be so enthusiastic when she came into contact with him.
"I don't worry about everyone so much," Yu Jinggui said.
Chen Zhaozhao, "..." She didn't dare to accept this.
Just an awkward yet polite smile.
He didn't even dare to think too much. He just thought about it because she was the mother of his daughter.
"Are you going back now? I'll see you off."
"No, no, I can just go back by myself. Why bother you to make another trip?"
"Then..." Yu Jinghui wanted to insist. He saw a figure flashing past in the rearview mirror. He frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "It's still early anyway. I'll send it to you if you promise. Since you
If you refuse, forget it."
Chen Zhaozhao smiled awkwardly, "It's early, you can go back and take a rest."
"That's okay." Yu Jinggui started the car, "Go back quickly, I'm leaving."
"Okay." Chen Zhaozhao watched Yu Jinggui's car leave and walked out of the city himself.
It was still very dark now, so she was not afraid of walking on the mountain road alone, let alone someone following her.
After leaving the city and entering the village road, Chen Zhaozhao stopped and said, "What do the people who follow me want to do? Why don't you take action?"
The two men behind him looked at each other and immediately rushed towards Chen Zhaozhao, one wielding a wooden stick and the other holding a sack, intending to knock Chen Zhaozhao unconscious and trap her.
Chen Zhaozhao suddenly turned around, dodged the swinging wooden stick, and kicked the person holding the sack away.
The man holding the wooden stick was stunned for a moment when he saw his companion flying backwards, and then swung at Chen Zhaozhao harder.
Chen Zhaozhao squatted down, grabbed a stone and threw it at him.
He dodged, and Chen Zhaozhao took the opportunity to punch his stick away, then kicked him away, hitting the person holding the sack directly.
The two of them couldn't stand the pain immediately.
Chen Zhaozhao looked at them condescendingly, "Liu family?"
The two men glared at Chen Zhaozhao fiercely and said nothing. In fact, they were in so much pain that they could not speak.
Chen Zhaozhao snorted coldly, found a vine on the side of the road, and tied the two of them up.
She was about to take the two of them to the police station when she saw the lights of the car and heard the sound of the car approaching.
She simply stood still.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Yu Jinggui driving over.
He got out of the car and asked with a smile: "It was solved so quickly?"
Chen Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, "You know?"
"We found them outside the supply and marketing cooperative." Yu Jinggui walked up to the two of them and snorted coldly, "Send them to the police station together."
"Yeah." Chen Zhaozhao nodded.
After putting the two people into the car, Chen Zhaozhao got into the passenger seat and followed Yu Jinggui to the county police station.
When they arrived at the police station, the two of them took notes separately.
Chen Zhaozhao took notes and came out just in time to meet Lin Xisi who was coming.
Lin Xisi met her and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Chen Zhaozhao shook his head, "It's okay. Please help me tell the Liu family that if something like this happens again in the future, I will blame them regardless of whether they did it or not. I don't mind sending them all in."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Xisi responded.
"Tell the same thing to the Qian family." Chen Zhaozhao said seriously. The Qian family and the Liu family are inextricably linked. Many people in the Qian family rely on the Liu family. They are also unreasonable people. It is inevitable that some people will criticize them.
She felt resentful.
"Yeah." Lin Xisi nodded solemnly.
When we came out of the police station, it was already dark.
Yu Jing returned to work and Chen Zhaozhao went home by himself.
Before leaving, Yu Jing returned Chen Zhaozhao a breakfast.
The most distinctive shredded pork rice noodles in Huixi County.
In this era, there are no disposable fast food boxes, and aluminum lunch boxes are used.
Chen Zhaozhao held the warm rice noodles and watched Yu Jinggui's car leave with a slightly complicated mood.
She was indeed hungry, so she found a place to eat first.
When I opened the lunch box, I saw that in addition to the regular side dishes of shredded pork rice noodles, shredded pork, pickled beans and peanuts, there was also a fried egg lying inside.
This can be regarded as the highest specification configuration of breakfast rice noodles in Huixi County. It is quite luxurious with meat and eggs.
Chen Zhaozhao ate the delicious rice noodles and thought to himself, the boss is really nice.
She must have a better attitude towards him in the future.
After eating rice noodles, Chen Zhaozhao felt that his empty stomach was filled, and his heart was filled with warmth.
It was already bright when we returned to the village, and there were already ladies gossiping in the meeting room.
When the aunties saw her, they immediately asked, "Zhaozhao, did Comrade Yu install a bed yesterday? Whose bed is it for?"
"Guest bed." Chen Zhaozhao said, "We added an extra guest room."
"Guest room~" An aunt winked at her, "The person who stays in this guest room the most is probably Comrade Yu. He comes here every night recently. Is your good news coming soon?"
"Let's see." Chen Zhaozhao smiled lightly, "I still have to go beforehand~"
The aunts watched Chen Zhaozhao walking away and started talking.
"It seems that Comrade Yu is determined to marry Zhaozhao~"
"It's useless no matter how hard you try. Judging from Zhaozhao's attitude, Comrade Yu's family will definitely not agree."
"It's hard~ It's hard for her to marry in the provincial capital~"
"Looking at the current situation, Comrade Yu is not going to marry Zhaozhao in the provincial capital, but wants to marry her into the village."
"No, how is that possible~"
"It's impossible. You see him spending the night at Zhaozhao's house every day. Maybe he and Zhaozhao have already..."
Chen Zhaozhao walked far away and couldn't hear the discussion behind her. She quite admired the aunts' imagination.
Yu Jinggui said that she was very thoughtful and she thought aunts were more suitable for writing novels.
When they were about to get home, Chen Zhaozhao met Li Huarong and chatted for a while. Li Huarong told her some news that surprised her.
