"One of this couple is too steady, and the other is too calm." Aunt Shen San thought about how she had been talking for a long time and Ningxia had been silent and just smiling beside her.
And Jing Xiao is obsessed with his wife. Not only does he feel uneasy if he can't see his wife, he also doesn't care about other people's eyes at all, as if he thinks those people are not on the same path as him.
"All the men in our Shen family are like this." Minister Shen nodded when he heard his wife say this.
Seeing him like this, Aunt Shen San glared at him, her eyes seemed to say: You are so shameless.
"Xia girl, I'll go clean up the room for you and light the kang first." As soon as the third aunt got home, she went to another room to clean up so that they could rest.
My third uncle is a minister, and the house he was allocated is very spacious. My third uncle and my third aunt live here all year round. The other houses in the house are empty, so my third aunt chose a large room for them.
"What's wrong?" Ningxia saw her third uncle talking to someone outside, so her third aunt went into the house and asked hurriedly.
"Didn't you say someone was following us when we got here? We were almost at the family compound at the time, so I didn't take it seriously. There were indeed people following us, but they didn't follow us in, so I thought they had left."
"I was worried about this when you left just now. When you left, I observed them and it seemed like they came in, but they were still hiding there and didn't make any moves."
Ren Jingxiao thought of the two or three scattered figures he had just seen. They seemed to be passing by, but the chasing look in their eyes at that moment could not deceive anyone.
"Did you see clearly who they are? Why have we been targeted recently?" Ningxia was also shocked when she heard Ren Jingxiao say this.
She said that her feeling was correct and someone was following them. Ningxia thought of the man who hid at the door of the Ministry of Transport when she first arrived.
"I saw the man at the entrance of the transportation department clearly, but I don't know him." Ningxia knew that those people must be in the same group.
Ren Jingxiao also looked solemn. Apart from selling pork, the only thing they had recently done was the Yang family incident. He couldn't think of anything else.
Was it because the pork had allowed Uncle Hu to gain a foothold and affect other people's interests, or was there some powerful figure behind the Yang family who wanted to take revenge on them? Or were they actually coming for Third Uncle and the others?
Ningxia thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, but she felt that these people were organized. They had not seen these people when they were in the county town. If they were really coming for them, they must have been hiding in the dark for a long time.
They followed us as soon as they left the county. Could it be that it was inconvenient to take action in the county? Ningxia thought of the cannon and the tiger pack.
Ningxia was daydreaming and felt even more annoyed when she looked at her big belly. If they really came for her, she would be in danger.
"How about we stay here for a few more days?" Ren Jingxiao thought the same as Ningxia. These people were definitely not good people.
They had been silent in the county town for such a long time, but chose to appear when they left the county town and came to the provincial capital. It was obvious that they had been observing them for a long time.
There must be something in the county town that they are concerned about. Ren Jingxiao also thought of the tiger group.
"We can't avoid what's coming. If they're coming for us, they might implicate Third Uncle and the others here. I think they must have been keeping an eye on us for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have said they followed us as soon as we left the county town."
"I don't know when they started targeting us. They didn't dare to take action in the county town and chose the provincial capital where it's more difficult. This means there's something in the county town they're afraid of. The only thing I can think of is cannons."
Ningxia didn't know what those people were going to do, but it was clear that they were not good people.
Ren Jingxiao understood Ningxia's meaning, and he agreed with her idea. He didn't dare to confront them head-on now.
"Let's go ask our third uncle for help." Ningxia thought about it and decided to ask for help.
My third uncle may not be the most powerful person in the provincial capital, but no one dares to mess with him because he has the Shen family behind him.
When Ningxia was in Beijing, she knew that the Shen family was involved in every aspect, whether it was politics, military, industry or commerce, and they had deep roots, standing firm in the bloody rain of this era.
Not to mention in Heilongjiang Province, he is also influential in Beijing. The Fifth Master has been dominating Heilongjiang Province for so many years, which shows that the Shen family is definitely not simple.
It's okay to ask your parents for help when you feel wronged. If you don't ask your parents for help, you will regret it later if something really happens.
Ningxia thought that if the Shen family couldn't solve the problem, it would be even more difficult for her and Ren Jingxiao to solve it.
Ren Jingxiao nodded in agreement. Ningxia went in to help his third aunt clean up the house. Ren Jingxiao went out to look for his third uncle at the door.
Minister Shen was talking to the director of a department at the door about the Ministry of Transport's procurement for next year. These days, the goods in various supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores were either in backlog or in short supply.
People from the provincial capital's purchasing office said that they would go to other provinces to purchase goods next year, meaning they would exchange goods for goods.
"Those people in the purchasing office made it sound so easy, but they put all the difficulties on our transportation department."
As soon as their purchasing office issued an order, their transportation department had to run around like crazy, but the task was simply impossible to complete.
No matter which province you go to, if you use industrial products like thermoses and knives to exchange for food and meat, who would be willing to do so unless they are crazy?
There is a shortage of food and meat in the provincial capital, but other places have so much food that they can't even finish it all.
"This year, grain production in Heilongjiang Province is low. Without grain, people have nothing to eat, and pigs can't grow big. Both grain and meat are in short supply, and the purchasing office is helpless. The supply and marketing cooperatives below are all reporting that they're out of stock, and they're also anxious."
Minister Shen was also secretly worried. He understood it, but going to other provinces would not be of much use. He knew that he would not get anything in return.
Heilongjiang Province has been a major grain producer every year. They are already in a tight spot, and other provinces are not much better.
When the food became scarce, it was okay for those in the city, as the public grain from the lower levels was still delivered in full, but the brigades had to go hungry.
It will be fine for the time being, but chaos will definitely occur after a while, so we must go to other provinces to exchange for food and meat, no matter how difficult it is.
Minister Shen talked to the man for a while, and then saw Ren Jingxiao standing at the gate of the yard, as if he had something to ask him.
He greeted the man and went in. This matter will have to be discussed in the spring of next year.
"What happened to Jingxiao?" Minister Shen locked the yard. It was dark and it was time for everyone to go to bed.
"Third uncle, I would like to ask you for a favor." Ren Jingxiao and Minister Shen went into the house together. Ningxia and third aunt had already come out after tidying up the room.
Ren Jingxiao didn't wait any longer and told him about how they were followed today.
