Chapter 173 Iron Box
Su Tong had less than four days to prepare.
On the seventh and eighth days of the first lunar month, Su Tong received intensive mission-related training and emergency training on various rules and regulations at the provincial bureau.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, I spent half the morning running back and forth between the provincial capital and the county town to get my fingerprints ready for various formalities. On the way to the county, I also stopped by "Ji Fu Tang" and bought a batch of medicinal materials and asked Manager Lin to help me prepare them into pills and ointments.
The afternoon is her own time. She mainly goes to the county town to purchase goods. She doesn’t know how long she will be away, so she has to prepare more things for the two old men.
Then he did not forget to go to the Propaganda Department of the county government and look for Li Zhiguo.
Li Zhiguo was very happy and enthusiastic to see Su Tong. Su Tong told him about the Qingfeng Town Propaganda Team and wanted to ask him to help find out what the county thought, mainly whether it was possible to form a Qingfeng Town Propaganda Team.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhiguo slapped his thigh and said excitedly:
"This matter is now under my charge! I was wondering why Qingfeng Town didn't have a propaganda team. I thought it was because there was no talent in this field to form one! It turns out that there is a mass base! The past is over, and now it's just a lack of funds! Funding is easy to deal with!"
As he spoke, Li Zhiguo leaned forward and said in a low voice:
"My uncle is the county finance official, so it's easy for him to approve some funds! Don't worry! There are policies for forming a propaganda team, and I was just worried about how to start, and you brought me the results! I will go to Qingfeng Town in person to discuss this matter in a few days, and I will make sure that all the talented young people are formed to contribute to the construction of the motherland."
In the end, Li Zhiguo personally sent Su Tong out of the government compound, and when he left, he held Su Tong's hand and shook it again and again.
"Comrade Wu, you are really my lucky star!"
If Li Zhiguo hadn't seen Lin Li waiting by the jeep, he would have wanted to send her back to Qingfeng Town in person.
Su Tong was a little amused and helpless. Although Li Zhiguo was a bit worldly and greasy, he was actually sincere!
He is also efficient and resolute in his work!
Last time, he said that if the funds were approved, there would be funds, and if he said that the house would be built, the house would be built! This time, with him here, Su Tong felt that the propaganda team should be similar.
The most excited person these days is Lin Li, who drives around Su Tong, not only because Su Tong is going to fight alongside him, but also because the boss didn't teach him a lesson this time!
It wasn't because she was too busy to teach him a lesson, but because she didn't even show him her expression, which made him secretly happy for a long time.
On the way back, Lin Li drove the car and gossiped to Su Tong in a mysterious manner.
"You know what! When Doctor Hu heard that she couldn't join the mission, she made a scene at the provincial bureau and insisted on coming along. You see, this is a mission, a dangerous one at that, not a game of house, so we can't allow her to make a scene..."
"The boss was so busy that he had no time to care about her. People from the provincial bureau didn't dare to offend her, and she wouldn't listen to their explanations. Later, it was her father... um! Her father is from the military..."
When Lin Li said this, he showed an expression that said you understand, and then continued.
"Her father called her personally and scolded her, and only then did she go back home wiping her tears!"
"well--"
Lin Li sighed in a fake manner:
"You can't blame anyone else for this, right? Everything was arranged well! She insisted on wearing high heels to go out for a walk, and ended up getting hurt! That black guy must have been worried about finding someone to attack! She chose to wear a military uniform, dressed up gorgeously, and had no ability to protect herself - look! Isn't this a target that has been delivered to her doorstep? If not her, who else can be arrested? This can't be blamed on anyone!"
"If it weren't for your quick reaction, her injury would have been more than just a sprained foot! Come to think of it, she hasn't thanked you yet!" Lin Li said as he turned to look at Su Tong.
Su Tong glared at him unhappily, "Alright! Drive carefully! You're catching up with the storyteller!"
Lin Li chuckled and stepped on the accelerator.
When it was getting dark, Su Tong and Lin Li returned to Yunshan Village together, carrying large and small bags. In addition to replenishing the household's daily necessities and commonly used medicinal materials, she also bought a lot of sorghum flour, corn flour and other things.
There was still a lot of rice and flour in the cellar that Dongdong's parents had sent. It was fine when she was at home, but she was afraid that someone would come to cause trouble when she was not at home. It would be less noticeable if the two old men mixed the food together.
In the evening, Su Tong called Aunt Cuifen, Qiuyu, Ma Daming and Shitou to have a meal together as a formal farewell to everyone.
All the instructions that needed to be given were given again.
She is lucky to have these relatives and friends who treat her sincerely in less than half a year.
Secretary Wu had already told the whole village that she was going to assist her comrades in the provincial capital with their work. Everyone thought she was just going to help out for a few days, and other than being excited and happy for her, they didn't think much about anything else.
But Su Tong had made up her mind that even after the mission was over, it was unlikely that she would return here to live, at least not for long.
She will find a new stage and start a new life.
Calculating the time, if everything goes well with Zhang Zhenglin, the two elderly people in the courtyard should be able to be rehabilitated in half a year at the latest. Even if it doesn't go well, she won't give up. There will always be a way...
She just hoped that they could spend their last time in Yunshan Village peacefully without anything going wrong.
Qiuyu and Shitou are still young, and there are countless possibilities in the future. She still has the opportunity to guide them slowly.
After eating and clearing away the dishes, everyone left.
Su Tong thought about going back to the room to pack up, as he was leaving tomorrow and there was a lot to prepare.
When she turned around, she found that the two old men did not go back to the woodshed. Instead, they were standing in the main room looking at her with serious expressions.
Su Tong was about to speak, but Lao Lin spoke to her first:
"Girl, come out with us."
After saying that, without waiting for her to say anything, he turned and walked out the door.
Lao Qi followed him out without saying a word, and picked up a hoe in the yard.
The two old men always listened to Su Tong. They listened to whatever Su Tong said and did whatever Su Tong said. They rarely told Su Tong to do anything so carefully.
Su Tong was slightly surprised, but didn't ask anything and just followed.
It was already dark, with a faint moonlight.
Lao Lin's legs have almost recovered. He staggers slightly when he walks, but it is not noticeable unless you look closely. He walks in front, looking back at Su Tong from time to time to see if she is catching up.
The cowshed is backed by a mountain, and upwards on the hillside is a pine forest.
The two old men plunged into the pine forest and walked up for a long time before they stopped under an old crooked pine tree.
Lao Qi and Lao Lin looked around at the same time. The night was still cold in this season. Apart from the shadows of the trees and the slight sound of the wind, there was no other movement.
Lao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Tong, "Girl, wait a moment."
Lao Qi walked around the old pine tree twice, found a spot with the dim moonlight, and then started digging with a hoe.
The ground was frozen hard in winter, and it was a bit difficult for Lao Qi to dig. Fortunately, after a while, he heard a dull "bang" sound, and the hoe hit a metal object.
Su Tong and Lao Lin both stepped forward to help, and after some effort they finally dug out an iron box.
