Chapter 571 He Can't Stay Away
Xu Chuangu left the military district early the next morning and headed for the capital.
The purpose of his actions was ostensibly to escort all the Jiang faction members who were investigated yesterday. In fact, he was just standing up for the Yan family to clear their names, to show his own position, and then to personally welcome his old comrade out of prison.
After Gu Yuehuai sent the people away, he began to pack his luggage. Of course, the unique seafood of Huaihai City was indispensable.
However, before leaving the Eighth Military Region, Gu Yuehuai wrote a letter to Gu Xihuai. She originally wanted to take a trip to the mountainous area to see the place where he and Liu Weilan were teaching, but she gave up the idea because of her poor health now.
After Gu Xihuai went to the mountains, he wrote two letters to her, only to find out that Liu Weilan had not received the letters he sent at all. After all, the mountains are high and the roads are long, and it is normal to lose the letters due to some special circumstances. Fortunately, nothing happened to her.
This time, they will be going to the capital soon, so Gu Xihuai might as well take this opportunity to bring her home to visit.
Gu Yuehuai got on the car to go home. All the people he met along the way were smiling, carrying large and small bags of low-priced grain bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives. After the government reached a cooperation agreement with Country E, it began to implement a nationwide grain release.
The journey was smooth, and after arriving in Feng City, Gu Yuehuai got off the car as usual.
Although the government has issued low-priced grain, Feng City is still overcrowded with grain. After all, the grain here is better than the low-priced grain in both price and quality. However, there are fewer grain buyers from other places.
Gu Yuehuai was standing outside the Grain Street, carrying a cloth bag and looking at the crowds of people.
At this time, an acquaintance from Liang Street recognized Gu Yuehuai and exclaimed, "Sister Gu!"
She hadn't been there for a long time, and her sudden appearance surprised them. Soon, they notified Xing Jian and Wan Qinglan.
After Wan Qinglan came to the Grain Street, she was full of energy. She carried grain, sold grain, and kept accounts without ever complaining about the hard work. This greatly reduced Xing Jian's burden. Since Bai Mei became pregnant, Gu Tinghuai traveled between the two places more frequently.
"Yuehuai!" Wan Qinglan jumped up happily when she saw Gu Yuehuai.
She walked through the crowd and came to Gu Yuehuai. Just as she was about to throw herself in a bear hug, she suddenly saw her bulging belly. She was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe it. She pointed at her and said, "This... This, am I going to be an aunt?"
Gu Yuehuai laughed, stroked his abdomen, and nodded: "Yes."
"Great! Great! Come on, let's go back and rest. Are you tired? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Why do you suddenly have time to come to Feng City? Are you going back to Qing'an County?" Wan Qinglan was at a loss for words and kept talking.
Xing Jian stepped forward at this time, glanced at her lightly, and said with a chuckle: "Shut up, Sister Gu is getting a headache just by listening to you."
"What did you say?!" Wan Qinglan bared his teeth and looked at Xing Jian with eyes like a fighting bull.
Xing Jian rolled his eyes, took a curious look at Gu Yuehuai's belly, and said, "No wonder Sister Gu hasn't come over for a while. It turns out there's a big happy event. It looks like our grain street needs to prepare again and give her a big red envelope!"
"Hmph!" Wan Qinglan pushed Xing Jian aside, carefully supported Gu Yuehuai and said, "Come on, let's go back and rest."
Gu Yuehuai smiled, looked at his watch, and said, "I won't go. It's still early. I have to go back to Qing'an County. I just came to see you. It's nothing serious."
Wan Qinglan frowned: "Going back to Qing'an County, are you alone?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "I am alone, and my situation is special now. I can't come here all the time. If you have any questions, just tell my eldest brother. In addition, the government's low-priced grain will inevitably make people uneasy. You have to appease everyone."
She is more worried that these people will do things that harm the interests of the people in order to make money and raise food prices.
Xing Jian nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Gu, they have been following you for a long time and have no other thoughts."
Wan Qinglan, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "Oh, right! Yue Huai, the news a while ago mentioned the great achievements of Major Yan of the Eighth Military Region. Are they talking about Comrade Yan?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and didn't answer. He just said, "I have to go back. If I'm any later, I won't be able to catch the bus."
Although Wan Qinglan didn't understand these things, she could tell from Gu Yuehuai's expression that she didn't want to talk about them.
She smiled a little embarrassedly. At this time, Xing Jian said, "Sister Gu, Section Chief Song is going back to Beijing today. I heard that he will also go back to the place where he was sent to work in the countryside. Why don't you take his car so that you can take care of him on the way?"
Gu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment: "Section Chief Song?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a familiar voice: "Xing Jian, is the food I want ready?"
Wan Qinglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the person who came. It was indeed Song Jinan.
Ever since Tian Jing's death, she has never paid attention to Song Jinan's situation. Section Chief Song is doing well.
However, with the fall of the Jiang faction, Song Lin, as a senior political figure whom Jiang Bingrong had supported with all his strength, will not have a good fate. I just wonder if Song Jinan, Song Lin's son, will be implicated.
Song Jinan also saw Gu Yuehuai. He paused for a moment, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He strode forward and said softly, "Comrade Gu, it's been a long time."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said to Wan Qinglan and Xing Jian, "I'll leave first."
When she turned around, Song Jinan saw her bulging belly. He was stunned, but he quickly reacted.
However, before he could say anything, Gu Yuehuai had already walked away.
Song Jinan slowly clenched his hands in his coat pockets into fists and looked at Gu Yuehuai's receding back. His eyes were hazy for a moment. He didn't understand since when the two of them had become strangers who looked at each other in silence.
Xing Jian noticed his change in mood and interrupted him with a smile: "Chief Song, are these grains prepared for the villagers?"
He helped move several bulging bags of grain into the trunk of the car. Although he could see Gu Yuehuai's indifference towards Song Jinan, he felt that this man's character was still worthy of praise and admiration, and couldn't help but say a few more words.
Song Jinan nodded lightly, took a deep breath, handed the money to Xing Jian, got in the car and left.
"What are you looking at? Let's go back!" Wan Qinglan poked Xing Jian's arm, snatched the money in his hand, and ran away happily. Xing Jian laughed, then looked back at the car Song Jinan was leaving in, and sighed.
In the car, Song Jin sat in the back seat with his eyelids drooped, wondering what he was thinking about.
The driver was Song Lin's confidant. After a long silence, he said, "Chief, the governor told you not to leave Feng City, let alone get involved in Beijing's affairs. If you go back now, you will undoubtedly put yourself under the eyes of others."
Obviously, when the situation in the capital was in full swing, the Song family had already received the news.
Song Lin knew that he was hopeless, but he didn't want his son to be involved, so he made plans early and took on the responsibility alone, leaving Song Jinan out. As long as Song Jinan didn't take the initiative to show up, a small section chief would not be taken seriously by Qin Yougong.
Hearing the driver's words, Song Jinan looked up and looked out the window, and said calmly, "I am no longer the Song Jinan under the protection of my parents. Since we are a family, there is no reason for me to stay out of it. After all, I have to pay back what I owe to others."
As early as when he received the message from Song Lin, he remembered what Yan Shaoyu had said to him.
The Pan family is not innocent, so how clean can the Song family be?
