"Bang bang"

"Come in··"

"Deputy Director Chen, this is the letter Uncle Wan asked me to bring to you."

Chu Tian pushed the door open and saw Deputy Director Chen making tea smoothly. He turned around and closed the door as if nothing had happened. He took out a letter from his arms and placed it on the table beside him.

By the way, their deputy director usually has no special requirements or preferences for anything, except drinking tea. I don’t know where he got the tea set from, but whenever he is not at work, he will leisurely make tea, taste tea, and play chess with himself in his small room of ten square meters. He is so comfortable!

I was clearly drinking ordinary brick tea sold at a few cents per pound from the supply and marketing cooperative, but it looked and felt like I was drinking tea that cost thousands of yuan per pound...

Deputy Director Chen nodded, poured a small cup of tea for Chu Tian and pushed it in front of him.

"I drank it."

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, reached out and took a sip of the tea, then put the small teacup on the table.

"If it's okay, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Deputy Director Chen spoke up, "Brother Wan and his wife arrived in Xinjiang a month and a half ago and have settled down in your brigade."

"What?"

Chu Tian was confused and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Deputy Director Chen poured Chu Tian another cup of tea and said with a smile, "You heard correctly. They have settled down in your brigade as ordinary people. If you are free, could you help me take care of them privately? I will remember your favor."

After a pause, he continued, "I guess you can guess that his identity is not ordinary, right?"

Chu Tian hesitated for a moment and then nodded slowly, without denying, "I can guess a little. Uncle Wan's temperament doesn't seem like an ordinary person..."

Deputy Director Chen nodded and said in a low voice, "Brother Wan was originally a hero of our country, but for some inexplicable reasons, he was killed by those..."

"Anyway, just know it in your heart. I believe our country won't remain like this forever. The heroes of the past will surely be able to clear their grievances. They just have to live in anonymity for now."

Chu Tian nodded, "I can take care of him, but why don't you, Deputy Director, take care of him directly?"

Deputy Director Chen smiled and said, "Just know that it's not convenient for me to take care of you."

After he finished speaking, Deputy Director Chen took out a stack of tickets and a hundred yuan from a box beside him and pushed them in front of Chu Tian. He poured himself some tea and continued speaking.

"Use these notes and money, and when you have the chance, help me buy some New Year's goods and food for them."

Chu Tian looked at the banknotes on the table, thought for a moment and asked again, "What if Uncle Wan asks me who gave it to me? What if they don't accept it?"

Deputy Director Chen took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at Chu Tian and said calmly, "Just tell him I gave it to him, and he will accept it."

Chu Tian nodded, picked up the money on the table and put it in his pocket, "Okay, I understand, then I'll leave first?"

Deputy Director Chen nodded and said, "Go back. Be careful on the road."

When Chu Min saw Chu Tian coming over, he got on his bicycle and said, "Little brother, come on up quickly. I just heard the security guard say that the supply and marketing cooperative received a batch of apples from Aksu today. I want to buy some to take back!"

Chu Tian replied "OK" and trotted to the side of the car. With a light jump, he jumped onto the back seat.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, when Chu Min went to buy apples, Chu Tian took out the ticket given to him by Deputy Director Chen and found that they were common tickets for candies, snacks, biscuits and other side dishes. After thinking about it, he exchanged all the tickets at once, and took out his own tickets to exchange them for some biscuits that the children at home liked to eat, orange candies, and the high-end fruit candies wrapped in colorful candy wrappers that the supply and marketing cooperative had just purchased, as well as Mrs. Chu's favorite egg cakes and Yao Xiujuan's favorite date cakes.

After Chu Min finished shopping, he turned around and saw Chu Tian with bags and bags. He was surprised and asked, "Why did you buy so much?"

Chu Tian raised the things in his left hand and said, "These are for others!"

Chu Min understood, "Okay, are you feeling better now? If you are, shall we go home?"

"Okay, let's go back! I plan to buy New Year's goods for my family tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

"Then if you have time, let's go together..."

"Okay."

It was winter and no one would hang around outside, so they walked through the entire brigade from the south and arrived at their doorstep without meeting anyone.

Chu Tian jumped off the back seat and walked to the front door of his house. He turned to look at Chu Min and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, when can I pick up your batch of goods? Do you want to pick it up tomorrow? If so, I'll go back and tell the other party to deliver it to you before tomorrow morning!"

Chu Min was surprised, "You can even deliver goods?"

Chu Tian nodded. "Of course, not only can they deliver the goods, they can also help store them. But there is a time limit. They can only store them for a maximum of three months. During these three months, you can pick them up at any time."

"There's just one thing I ask, which is that you can't go there in person, and you can't contact them. I'll have to act as the middleman."

Chu Min was shocked. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then tomorrow? Where should I send it to?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "I can't tell you where to send it now, second brother, come find me tomorrow morning after breakfast!"

"Alright."

Chu Min didn't doubt anything. After all, it was normal for people doing this kind of business to be cautious and not want more people to know him. He understood and agreed with it very much.

Chu Tian watched him push his bicycle to the gate of the next yard, stand at the gate and knock on the door. He also raised his hand and knocked on his own door.

Crunch

The door was opened a crack. Chu Tian lowered his head and looked down, and saw Pingping's little face looking up at him. Pingping's eyes slowly widened and his mouth opened into an O shape.

Chu Tian's heart softened. He stretched out a hand and pushed open the door. Then he tapped his son lightly and asked with a smile, "What? Don't you recognize your father?"

As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, he heard Yao Xiujuan's surprised cry, and then saw Yao Xiujuan running towards him in a hurry.

"Brother Tian? You're back?"

"Didn't you say you would come back after the New Year?"

Yao Xiujuan excitedly grabbed Chu Tian's arm, her eyes shining, her tone full of confusion and worry. She always remembered what Chu Tian said at the time that he would probably not be back until after the New Year...but now he was back early!

Seeing his wife like this, Chu Tian couldn't help laughing. He put the things in his hand on the cabinet in the door and raised his hand to rub her head. "What's wrong? Don't you want me to come back early?"

"How come?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Xiujuan immediately shook her head, and then she gripped his arm with even more strength, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
