In the darkness, Zhao Minglan whispered: "Where is the thing? Why is it missing?"
Ma Xiaoquan reluctantly took it out from his pocket.
"I didn't hear it clearly just now, please listen to me again!" Zhao Minglan puffed up his chest and exhaled heavily.
Fortunately, in the darkness, Ma Xiaoquan could not see Zhao Minglan's movements, otherwise he would definitely have his own thoughts.
Approaching Zhao Minglan, Ma Xiaoquan once again carefully inserted the earphones into Zhao Minglan's ears.
Since it was difficult to operate in the dark, Ma Xiaoquan just pressed it. This time, he pressed the song selection button.
The next moment, a sad but loving lyric poured into Zhao Minglan's mind.
"Every time I hear the melancholy music, the pain of memories is brought back, every time I see the white moonlight... I love you so clearly, what a solid belief, I love you so warmly,
What a brave force..."
Zhao Minglan was completely shocked by the singing. Not only had she never heard such a melody before, but she had also never felt such lyrics that were almost directly lyrical to her.
For a simple woman like Zhao Minglan who has never had any feelings, such a song is undoubtedly a powerful shock to her.
Just when she wanted to continue listening, the earplugs were suddenly pulled off by Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took the mp3 and took a look at it, frowning slightly. He thought it was playing Dongfanghong, but now he saw it was "Faith". He turned off the mp3, exhaled softly and said: "Okay, you have listened.
It’s time to hear something you shouldn’t have heard.”
Zhao Minglan was stunned, but she was extremely quiet and did not fight with Ma Xiaoquan. At this moment, she really believed in Ma Xiaoquan's identity as a future person.
"When did this song come from?" Zhao Minglan asked.
Ma Xiaoquan took a breath and replied: "From now on, it should be about twenty years later."
"Twenty years..." Zhao Minglan was surprisingly calm. She smiled slightly and asked, "Then your name shouldn't be Ma Xiaohu, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not answer Zhao Minglan's words. Zhao Minglan saw that he did not answer, so he did not continue to ask questions.
"Then what should we do with this thing now?" Zhao Minglan asked.
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and said: "Now that you know my identity, you have to help me and tell your father not to give this thing away to you, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. You also know that this thing can be regarded as
It will only appear twenty years later. If it appears now and is targeted by relevant departments, Uncle Zhao will most likely be convicted of espionage, etc... As you know, just a few years after the ten years of turmoil,
Although the chaos has been brought back to order, the evil trend will not disappear completely in a year or two... I heard Uncle Zhao say that the main person who can help you is that Mao Jianhua, and that Mao Jianhua just joined the establishment before
At that time, he was still a follower of Uncle Zhao. This kind of person is now the director of the department. You should all know how he climbed up... Do you think this kind of person will be satisfied with the object given by Uncle Zhao?
?”
Zhao Minglan was silent. She thought for a while and shook her head.
"Yes, Uncle Zhao also said that Mao Jianhua is interested in you and wants you to be his daughter-in-law, but I don't know whether you agree or not."
"Of course I don't agree~~" Zhao Minglan immediately retorted, "Mao Xiaoqiang is a scoundrel. How many girls have been fooled by him. In the past, when his father was not the director of the department, that guy was not doing his job properly. Now his father is the director.
Chief, put him in the police station. He hangs around all day doing nothing but messing with girls. Several girls have been fucked by him. His father's energy is so great that he has died many times." Zhao Minglan gritted her teeth.
"Well, as long as you have this attitude, it will be easy to handle. So no matter what method you use tomorrow, you can keep this thing in your hands, and you can't show it to anyone else, not even Uncle Zhao, not even Aunt Hong
It’s not okay to ask for it.”
Zhao Minglan nodded: "I'll help you, how can you help me?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "You are talking about the indicators, right? Don't worry, I will definitely have a way to help you solve it."
In fact... Ma Xiaoquan has no clue at all. We are currently in a society governed by law. Although it has just begun in the 1980s, many procedures and things in society are not as formal as they were in the future, but there are always rules to be found.
"You don't want to use the gold and silver jewelry you gave my parents as bargaining chips, do you?" Zhao Minglan was smart and thought of those gold and silver jewelry first.
Ma Xiaoquan did think about using those things to help Zhao Minglan find a way to get the indicators, but the key issue is that the key person in charge of this matter, as far as the information currently available is that Mao Jianhua can do it, and Mao Jianhua wants to
He wanted Zhao Minglan to be his daughter-in-law, so he couldn't rush to find Mao Jianhua too quickly, otherwise the other party would raise the price, and Zhao Minglan would probably lose the gold and silver jewelry together.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed softly: "I originally had this idea, but after what Uncle Zhao said before, I feel that this matter is not easy to handle."
"What should we do?"
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't provoke Mao Jianhua for the time being. The only one who can attack is his wife."
"His wife? You're not going to kidnap his wife, are you?" Zhao Minglan rubbed his arms.
"What are you thinking about? This is a society ruled by law. Well, speaking of this, Sister Lanlan, I have to ask you for a favor."
"You tell me~" Zhao Minglan agreed simply, "As long as you can help me get the target, as long as it doesn't violate my personal wishes or harm my family, I'll do whatever you want."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "It's not that serious. I just want to trouble you to get some definite information about Mao Jianhua's other women outside. After all, there are always people in the neighborhood talking about it."
Zhao Minglan wondered: "I'm not that kind of person, how can I help you get this information, and it's accurate."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "You have classmates, and your classmates have their parents. As for what you say and how you ask, that's up to you."
Zhao Minglan gritted his teeth: "Okay, give me two weeks, and I'll tell you when it's done."
"Okay, then it's up to you what happens tomorrow." Ma Xiaoquan reached out and patted Zhao Minglan on the shoulder, as if an elder was teaching a younger one.
Zhao Minglan felt very strange about the behavior of the little brother in front of her. There was an inexplicable impulse in her heart that made her want to know more about this boy.
The next day, Zhao Minglan took the mp3 and told Uncle Zhao that she liked this thing very much. She didn't want Uncle Zhao to give this thing to Mao Jianhua. Besides, her birthday was coming soon, so she wanted this thing as a birthday gift.
.
Uncle Zhao was not happy at first, but then he thought that the bag of gold and silver jewelry that Ma Xiaohu (Ma Xiaoquan) brought should be much better than this. Mao Jianhua's wife is very greedy for money and also likes gold and silver jewelry.
, with this thing, we should be able to solve Lan Lan's matter.
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhao compromised. Zhao Minglan took the mp3 and danced happily.
In the afternoon, Uncle Zhao picked up a few pieces of jewelry and went to Mao Jianhua's house, but after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. Later, when I inquired, I found out that Mao Jianhua had gone to the capital for a meeting, because after the meeting, there was an opportunity for a publicly funded inspection.
So he took his wife with him. As for their son Mao Xiaoqiang, since his parents were away, he simply didn't go to the police station to report for duty. He simply led a group of friends out to find a place to eat and drink.
Uncle Zhao's heart was a little heavy after he missed it, but he felt relieved when he thought that he could still find Mao Jianhua when he came back.
...
In the next few days, Ma Xiaoquan followed Uncle Zhao to work at the police station during the day. At night, if Uncle Zhao was on night shift, Ma Xiaoquan would accompany him. If Uncle Zhao was not on duty, he would follow Uncle Zhao on walks around the streets to get to know the neighbors.
The community where Uncle Zhao's family lives is called Lantian Community. It is said to be a community, but in fact there are only three tube buildings. The residents in the tube buildings are the families of workers in the surrounding factories. Everyone can live here because of their economic conditions.
It’s almost the same, plus the composition of the staff here is relatively simple, so everyone is familiar with each other.
A week later, Ma Xiaoquan met almost all the neighbors in the three buildings. Although he was not familiar with many of them, he had to say hello regardless of whether he wanted to or not.
At first, everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of this distant cousin in the Zhao family, but after a while, Ma Xiaoquan's politeness won the favor of most people. Some residents even started to ask if Ma Xiaoquan had a partner, but I heard that he was not serious yet.
Because of work, everyone put this idea aside for the time being.
People in the 1980s had very simple thoughts. Everyone just wanted to live a good life every day. If someone in the neighborhood had something to do, everyone who could help would help.
On the day that Uncle Zhao's house had just been renovated, someone came to introduce Ma Xiaoquan to a job. He said that a nearby riveting factory was recruiting apprentices and asked Ma Xiaoquan if he wanted to go.
Ma Xiaoquan made some inquiries and found out that next to the riveting factory was a cotton spinning factory, which was where his mother Yuan Lan worked. He wanted to see why the young Yuan Lan he met that day looked different from his mother when she was young.
.
At night, Uncle Zhao opened a bottle of wine to celebrate the completion of the home renovation. Although there was still a smell of cement, it no longer affected the residents.
Zhao Minglan wore "her" MP3 player and shook her head happily, looking satisfied with the current situation.
Ma Xiaoquan politely helped Aunt Hong serve food for everyone. The four of them sat around the table eating and chatting, and they actually felt like a real family.
After dinner, Zhao Minglan suggested drinking soda. Uncle Zhao saw that it was still early, so he gave Ma Xiaoquan a dollar and asked him to go to the sales department downstairs to buy four bottles of soda.
Ma Xiaoquan took the money with a smile and went downstairs to buy soda.
