Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Hong Guo doesn't care whether the fake village and Changzong have...

Hongguo and Changzong couldn't sleep, so they lay down holding hands. Hongguo asked him how he talked to grandfather, and what kind of result was considered a good chat?

Gu Changzong said: "I asked my grandfather if I could tell people outside that I was his relative. My grandfather asked me what I was doing and how I did it. I told him about learning to drive and buying a car to run a transportation business. After hearing that, my grandfather agreed. It was not difficult. It was easier than I thought."

This is not easy at all. Changzong found ways to learn how to drive, bought a car, and drove long distances alone. It is no surprise that his grandfather valued his courage and ability.

Hong Guo said: "What you have done is very impressive in grandpa's eyes, Chang Zong, you have always been very impressive."

Gu Changzong knew he was very capable, but he was most happy when Hongguo recognized him.

Hongguo's breathing gradually became steady as she leaned against him, but she had not actually fallen asleep yet. She was worried that Changzong's grandfather and uncles were not familiar with him, but to be on the safe side, she decided to have less contact with them. All Changzong wanted was an identity that he could talk about, and that was enough, so he didn't want more.

Changzong sold all the radios he brought back in just a few days. During these days, Hongguo slept until she woke up naturally every day, and then heated up her breakfast when she woke up. Sometimes the little one would come home to play with her for a while, and sometimes she would only see the little one in the evening. Her life was freer than in the countryside.

Xiao Zheng called Sister Shan's house and said that the two antiques identified last time were found to be fake. He was so impressed by Hong Guo's talent that he no longer had any doubts. He said that there would be two more pieces to be delivered today, and asked Hong Guo to come over to take a look.

It was sent from a place, that was the counterfeit village she saw on the watch. Was that village just going to be left alone?

Anyway, she'll go over there first.

In just a few days, Xiao Zheng had decorated the antique shop with a brand new look. The name on the shop sign remained unchanged, still called "Add Wealth and Blessings", but a new gilded plaque was made. Every antique in the shop was clearly marked with a price, which was pleasing to the eye. The prices were obviously very honest and did not drive away customers.

Hongguo asked Xiao Zheng what to do with the two fake ones?

Xiao Zheng said: "I originally wanted to mark it up as a fake and sell it as a decoration, but then I thought, it's too real, even Sister Sun can't tell the difference. If someone gets cheated again after selling it, it will be my fault, so I put it in the warehouse."

Jiang Hongguo smiled and praised: "Xiao Zheng, you are too honest, but with your personality, I am not afraid of being deceived by you."

Xiao Zheng blushed when he was praised: "My uncle taught me well, I learned everything from him."

After waiting for a while, the man who delivered the antiques arrived. He was dressed like a city dweller and said that the antiques were passed down from his family. But Hong Guo recognized him because he was the first one to catch up and slashed at Cheng Qizhen's back. His expression was ferocious, like a demon.

The two pieces he sent were still counterfeits made by a counterfeiting den in the village. Xiao Zheng identified them as authentic and looked at Hong Guo.

Jiang Hongguo's mind was racing. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself or Xiao Zheng's store, so she nodded, acknowledging that it was true, but she didn't ask Xiao Zheng to accept it.

She said: "You are asking too much for these two pieces. He just bought this shop and has no connections. He can't sell them and can't run the business."

Xiao Zheng was quite smart. He nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the item they brought was such a rare antique. I was just a part-time worker, helping my uncle. I still owed him money after I bought the shop, so I really couldn't afford to take it."

The other party had nothing more to say and left with the antique.

After the people left, Jiang Hongguo asked Xiao Zheng, who introduced this person?

Xiao Zheng said that he was Xiao Sun's former client, and introduced him to his uncle. Hong Guo nodded. Some of Xiao Sun's clients didn't seem very good, and they might be helping to sell the stolen goods. Xiao Sun's vision for judging people was much worse than hers.

This time I refused them because I didn’t have the ability to purchase. Next time they send me something ordinary and low-priced, then it would be too suspicious to refuse.

Hongguo couldn't think of a solution, so she went back home. Changzong said he had taken a job and was loading the goods and would leave in the afternoon.

The boss was in a hurry and the goods had to be delivered within the specified time, but the money he paid was also high, 20% more than normal. Hong Guo asked how many days it would take, and Gu Changzong said it was not far, and this trip was not to Guangdong, so there was no need to purchase goods, and if there would be no work on the return trip, they would return with an empty truck.

"The money the boss gives me for a single trip already covers the round-trip gas money. It's just a matter of two or three days, and the freight is 500 yuan. Just make a trip." Gu Changzong said.

It is unlikely that they will be shorted. It may not be such a coincidence that the goods are being sent back to the provincial capital.

Hongguo was worried, thinking about the fake village matter, which was not something she could control, but since it had already happened to Xiao Zheng's shop, it was closely related to her.

She didn't want Changzong to see it, so she said, "Then come back empty-handed. Don't be apart for too long, I will miss you."

Gu Changzong hugged her and kissed her: "I will be back soon, Guoguo, there will be no trouble."

As soon as Gu Changzong left, Hongguo went to Xiao Zheng's shop every day to see if anyone from the counterfeit village had come to deliver fake antiques. Fortunately, there had been no such visits in the past two days.

So, will they come in a few days?

She still couldn't come up with a good solution and felt a little frustrated. She was just an ordinary person and when she encountered such a thing, she didn't even have the courage to report it anonymously to the police.

Because she was afraid that the behavior she reported would cause the police to get hurt. Other people’s lives are just as precious, and they are also old and young. She knows how to be afraid, and she should also take other people’s lives as her own.

Hongguo thought so much and found a lot of reasons to comfort herself. Forget it, she is an ordinary person and can't control this matter.

When she went there again on the third day, Xiao Zheng was reading the morning paper. When he saw her coming, he couldn't wait for her to come in, so he ran to the door with the newspaper, waited for the light to come in, and showed her the news.

"Sister, a vicious incident occurred in a mountain village several dozen kilometers away from us last night, and the city's police force went over to provide support."

It's the counterfeit village. At first, it was said that someone injured people in the village, and many policemen went there. The newspaper refuted the rumor, saying that it was a village that made and sold counterfeit goods. The police had actually been investigating for a long time. Suddenly something happened last night and a fight broke out. The police were dispatched urgently, otherwise it would be impossible to mobilize so many policemen there at once.

The details were not in the newspaper. Jiang Hongguo was worried. That road was the same direction as Changzong's delivery. According to the time, Changzong should be back. It should have nothing to do with him, right?

"Oh my god, an entire village is faking this. How scary." Jiang Hongguo echoed, pretending to be surprised as if she had just learned about this for the first time.

Xiao Zheng said, "Sister, you got the order wrong. It was that group of people who were counterfeiting that formed a counterfeiting village like an iron barrel. I only heard about it before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. Several people I know who were not far away all ran to watch the fun."

What's so good about this kind of excitement? It's so dangerous. Hong Guo immediately said, "Don't go."

Xiao Zheng refused to go: "There's nothing to see. Just wait and read the newspaper."

Hongguo had originally planned to look around Xiao Zheng's place and then go to the market to buy vegetables, but now she decided not to buy vegetables and took a bus back home. Changzong's truck was parked on the side of the road. She walked around it and found the truck bed was empty. Either the truck had unloaded the goods, or it had returned empty.

She hurried back home and saw Changzong taking a shower in the kitchen. She looked at his coat, which she had casually taken off and hung on a chair in the main room. There were no holes in it and not even any obvious dirt. Fortunately, regardless of whether it had anything to do with Changzong or not, he was not injured.

Changzong came out and just opened the door, Hongguo hugged him and rested her head on his chest, holding his arms tightly. His heartbeat was irregular, but he was not injured.

Chang Zong was breathing heavily, worried about her sudden abnormality: "Guo Guo, what's wrong?"

Hongguo didn't want to make trouble with him in the middle of the morning. She quickly let go of him and didn't give him a chance to show off. She pulled him to the door of the main room to get some fresh air and cool down, and then told him what happened in the newspaper.

"Xiao Zheng showed it to me. I thought you would pass by there on your delivery trip. There were many police cars there yesterday. It must have been a big conflict. Fortunately, you are fine."

Gu Changzong really admires reporters. What happened yesterday can be printed out in the evening and appear in the newspaper in the morning.

He went there yesterday during the day, changed his appearance, finished his work, and was repairing the tire on the roadside. He saw a lot of police cars. His second uncle was leading the team, and they told him to fix the tire and leave quickly.

The broken tire was an accident, but it was not a big problem. Gu Changzong repaired the tire without stopping.

He said: "This trip went smoothly. The truck was not empty. The return cargo was not far from the provincial capital, so I took it. They had another truckload of cargo to bring to the provincial capital, so I waited for half a day. I unloaded the cargo in the morning and returned."

Not only did the goods not go away, but two more trucks of goods were delivered.

Hongguo doesn’t care whether the fake village has any connection with Changzong, as long as the people are safe.

She begged: "Chang Zong, let's take a break for two days. Our own car has a lot of profit, so it doesn't matter if we take a few more days off."

Gu Changzong was just thinking about staying at home for a few days so he could spend more time with Hongguo instead of selling goods. He suggested carefully, "Then take me with you wherever you go. I'll drive you."

It would cost more gas to use a transport truck to get around the city, but my family earns a lot of money, so why save a little gas money? Jiang Hongguo happily agreed.

Lao Zheng brought the little one back to make lunch. He saw a parked car on the side of the road, knocked on the door and sent the little one over.

Chang Zong was really angry: "Guo Guo and I were just about to go out, when will you be more careful?"

Lao Zheng said, "I can't believe you're going out during dinner time. Little one misses you. You can go out in the afternoon."

Jiang Hongguo picked up the little one and handed him to Chang Zong: "You take care of him and I'll make lunch. Lao Zheng, you can eat at my house."

Old Zheng shook his head and went home.

Jiang Hongguo didn't force it. It had only been less than half a month and Lao Zheng had become more talkative. After a while, maybe they could sit together with everyone else, eating melon seeds, basking in the sun, and chatting about daily life.

Gu Changzong liked Xiaobudian, so Hongguo lit the stove and heard him and Xiaobudian laughing in the yard. Compared with Lao Zheng, Xiaobudian and Changzong laughed more wildly when they were together.

Hongguo was really happy. She didn't want to find out whether Changzong had anything to do with the fake village.

The laughter outside the kitchen door stopped. Hongguo was about to come out to see what was happening when Changzong came in holding Little Dot. His smile disappeared. "Guoguo, Xiao Sun is here to see you. Diandian and I will go out for a walk. If she is too nagging, you can chase her away. Don't be polite."

Xiao Sun outside heard Changzong's words and blushed. Changzong didn't care at all and didn't even bother to look at her when he left.

Jiang Hongguo was about to cook, so she said in the kitchen: "I didn't expect you would come to see me at this time."

Xiao Sun also didn't expect that she would be unable to resist coming back. She knew that she was not welcome here, so she cut to the chase: "Hongguo, I want to ask, after I moved out, is everything next door normal? Is there anything unusual that you can't understand?"

Jiang Hongguo didn't expect that Xiao Sun came to her to ask about such a thing.

She asked, "You read in the newspaper that the village where you went to recycle antiques was shut down by the police, but I don't understand why you asked me this."

Xiao Sun said: "I can't explain it to you, just tell me, has the next door been normal since I left?"

Jiang Hongguo felt a little uncomfortable. So what if it was abnormal? The original person was still there, but he just didn't care about her anymore.

Hong Guo said: "I don't know how you define normal and abnormal. I think it's quite normal. My child is still being taken care of next door. Do you think it's normal?"

Xiao Sun was stunned for a while, then said, "Hongguo, you don't have to be angry with me. I am the one who suffers from the pain, tiredness and regret. I just want to make things clear."

Hong Guo didn't think so. How could she not have discovered Master Wang's lover? It was not until the moment of his death that she finally understood.

Hongguo sent her out. Just then, Lao Zheng straightened his back and went home with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Hongguo and Xiaosun, and went home without saying goodbye.

Xiao Sun said: "Old Zheng straightened his back and looked much younger. He now looks like a man in his forties."

Hongguo thought that Xiao Sun really didn't look familiar to the most important person in the past, and Lao Zheng didn't even bother to say anything. He didn't take it to heart at all, which was good.

She laughed at herself in her heart for worrying about nothing. She had been told not to worry about it, but she still had to think about it.

As soon as Xiaosun left, Changzong came back holding the little one. Hongguo told Changzong what Xiaosun had asked.

"She asked that question because she thought her man was not a human being and could come back as a ghost after his death? I ignored her."

Gu Changzong said angrily: "Even if I become a ghost, I won't go to see her."

Jiang Hongguo interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense outside."

Gu Changzong smiled and said, "Guoguo, if I turn into a ghost and come back to see you, would you be afraid?"

Jiang Hongguo hit him: "You are not allowed to die before me, do you hear me?"

Gu Changzong's expression was gentle: "I know, I'll listen to you."

In the afternoon, Changzong wanted to drive her out to play. Hongguo didn't have anywhere to go, but didn't want to spoil the fun, so she went out. The two of them drove a big car and decided to go shopping in the department store.

Seeing a transport team's vehicle on the road, Hongguo's eyes suddenly widened. Wasn't that the person from the counterfeit village seen in the scene, the one who slipped through the net?

Changzong also saw it. If he were a driver on the transportation company's fixed route, he would know that a stranger was driving his master's car. Where was his master?

Chang Zong pulled the car over and asked Hong Guo to get out first: "Guo Guo, find a place to rest first, I'll catch up and take a look."
