He also wrapped a few duck eggs with the remaining lotus leaves and mud and threw them into the fire to roast together.
Lu Xie’s grilled fish was also put on the grill. The two of them were busy talking about recent events, and time passed quickly.
——————
After the two of them had a delicious lunch, Lu Xie also speeded up his work, because all this was money.
While quickly collecting chestnuts, Lu Xie sighed in his heart that it was better to live in the village. It was not like in the city where one had to spend money to buy firewood.
Recently, they have been dealing in transporting coal and coal briquettes in the black market. This is why he doesn't like to stay anywhere. After a day of waiting, even the gaps between his teeth are black.
"Shengsheng, I'll bring you a cart of coal in a few days. It's easier to burn than firewood." Lu Xie said.
Lu Wensheng was picking up the chestnuts that were left on the ground one by one. After thinking for a while, he said casually:
"Okay, just send less. We bought a lot of firewood."
It is best not to burn coal in the village. After all, the smell of coal is very different from that of burning firewood.
"Well, I know."
He did have an idea. Shengsheng might not have any idea about how cold it is in Northeast China. You have to know that it starts to be cold in late October and lasts until May of next year. He can't listen to Shengsheng and needs to be prepared!
Seeing that he got what he deserved, Lu Wensheng didn't say anything, but she could never have imagined what his reaction would be when she opened the door in the middle of the night one day and saw several trucks of coal.
It was still early and the mountain products had been almost harvested, so Lu Wensheng prepared to go back. No matter what, he could not delay watching the fun in the evening.
"Uncle Xiaoxie, let's go to Ximengou Brigade to buy mountain products tomorrow!" Lu Wensheng suggested.
Lu Xie had no objection and said cheerfully, "Okay."
In his heart, Shengsheng is simply a mobile warehouse. If possible, he would like to take Xiaosheng out with him all the time.
But he only dared to think about it. If Chen Cheng and his father knew about it, he was sure that not even his skin would be left...
When they arrived at the old place where they hid things, Lu Wensheng casually put out all the mountain products in the space, and waited for Han Muchen and others to transport them away in the middle of the night. He then took the basket of wild duck eggs away.
Just after coming down from the mountain, I ran into Li Sihai who was riding a bicycle back.
"Brother Sihai, why are you back?"
Li Sihai stopped the car and replied, "I heard that Li Aiguo was taken away by the Revolutionary Committee, so I thought of coming back to see what was going on."
Lu Wensheng looked at the smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden and teased, "Are you coming back to take a look or to see the excitement?"
Li Chuanhai grinned foolishly and took down a piece of meat hanging on the handlebars: "This is for you. Since I have encountered you, I will not go over."
Lu Wensheng was about to refuse when he was interrupted: "Don't be polite with me. If you are really embarrassed, just stew some eggs for me to take with you." He had been craving for this for several days.
Seeing that he was really not polite anymore, Lu Wensheng took the piece of meat with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll ask Lingling to stew a box for you when we get home later. It's just right for you to come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Li Chuanhai nodded happily and said, "Okay! Then I'll go home and tell my mother."
He said hello to Lu Xie and left, but... why did he feel that this person looked so familiar? It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before!
Little did he know that when he saw Lu Xie looked familiar, Lu Xie recognized him at first sight, and only asked Lu Wensheng after the people left:
"Shengsheng, do you know this person?"
Seeing that he was a little serious, Lu Wensheng answered honestly: "Yes, he is from our village. He is the man of Li Chunhua that I just told you about."
Lu Xie was dumbfounded, this...
Lu Wensheng noticed that he was not reacting properly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xie pulled the man under a tree and whispered, "I've seen this man a few times. He was the pork supplier introduced by Tiger. We get most of our pork from him."
"What?"
Lu Wensheng was dumbfounded. Is this possible?
"He...he works in a slaughterhouse. Uncle Xiaoxie, do you think it might be possible..." Lu Wensheng thought of a possibility.
Lu Xie waved his hand: "No, the slaughterhouse has very strict inspections. He can't steal so much. He must have other channels." He thought it was normal. After all, snakes have snake paths and rats have rat paths!
Besides, what I did was not necessarily glorious. At the smallest level, it was reselling, and at the largest level, it was speculation. If I was caught, I would be punished...
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Yes, I understand..."
I didn't expect that Li Sihai is such a talent. Li Chunhua really picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
"It's enough for you to know it, but don't tell anyone else." Lu Xie reminded.
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Xiaoxie, I'm keeping my mouth shut!"
She should go back and tell Lingling that everything is alright...
Do you believe Lu Xie? Haha!
----------
When Li Chuanhai got home, the door was locked and his mother was nowhere to be found:
"Hey! This little old lady, she either doesn't go out for several days, or she doesn't come home at all!"
He took out his key while mumbling to open the door, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the room, he saw a man sleeping on his kang!
“Oh my god!”
This scene frightened Li Chuanhai so much that he screamed and ran out immediately. He had to make sure that this was his home...
He finally came to his senses when the cool breeze in the yard blew his mind. Was his mother hiding a mistress in the house? Did she bring back an old man while he was away?
That shouldn't be the case. Although I didn't see the other person's face clearly, I could clearly see that the way he was dressed didn't make him look like an old man.
