smuggling
Xu Nian was so bored that he almost fell asleep. Suddenly, he heard a sound and looked outside. Hearing that someone was going to eat gave him some motivation to get up. He shouted to the door, "I know, Brother Hongqi."
The thermos in the quilt was no longer hot, but it was still warm compared to the surrounding temperature. Her clothes were on the stool. She got up shivering and ran over to get her clothes, then quickly got back into bed. After her body warmed up a little, she put the bottle in her cotton jacket.
Xu Hongqi was already used to her dithering. When he saw that the time was almost up, he would consciously scoop water from the pot into the basin. Sure enough, just as he had finished getting the water, Xu Nian came out of the house.
"Go wash." One was confused and the other was mature and experienced.
Xu Nian was urged to finish washing up, and then she took a closer look at the yard. First of all, it seemed to be only half the size of her house, but there were still many houses. The yard was small and bare. Nowadays, it was popular to plant fruit trees in the yard to satisfy cravings, but this one didn't have any.
Maybe it was because it was a county house, both the house and the kitchen looked more delicate than those in the countryside. Xu Nian was sitting in the kitchen eating her lunch with a bowl of brewed milk in front of her, and Xu Hongqi handed her a big hemp twist.
Xu Nian took it reverently with both hands and sighed at the person.
"well!"
Xu Hongqi didn't care at all and just said casually: "Don't look for a fight when you just woke up."
Xu Nian feigned sophistication by shaking his head, his expression as if to say, "How can I save you?" Finally, under the man's sinister gaze, he returned to his quail form, with only a hint of stubbornness remaining on his lips. "Xu Hongqi, you are the successor of socialism, you can't make mistakes."
Xu Hongqi couldn't understand why Xu Nian always had the thought that he was doomed. During the time they were together, except for being a little indifferent to her at the beginning, he gave in to her that time later and should have been very peaceful in front of her. How could Xu Nian think that he would do something bad?
He didn't think he was wrong about dealing in radios. For example, the existence of the black market. Could it be that the higher-ups really didn't know about it? For a country to develop so fast, it must have used extraordinary means. It was just that they were leaving room for everyone so that all kinds of people could breathe.
He looked at Xu Nian seriously and said, "Tell me what I have done. What mistakes could I have made?"
Xu Niangang kept stealing glances at him under the pretext of drinking milk. It wasn't that she was annoying and had to keep him under wraps, it was just that she had a mission to accomplish and had no choice!
Hearing Xu Hongqi's question, she drank the milk in the bowl in big gulps, with an air of righteousness.
Xu Hongqi crossed his arms over his chest, looked down at the bowl of milk she had just put down, and sneered.
This made Boss Xu Nian very unhappy. This was too disrespectful. She pulled the man's arms apart and even pulled him onto a stool, then stood up and looked down at him, "Tell me why you rented this place, and where did you get so many purchase tickets?"
"Oh, are you getting bolder?" Although Xu Hongqi was sitting, his imposing manner was no less.
Xu Nian used to not understand why everyone wanted to be in a higher position, but now that Xu Hongqi had to look up at her to answer questions, she felt strangely refreshed. "Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict."
Xu Hongqi didn't think of hiding it from Xu Nian. If she wanted to know, he would tell her. He didn't think there was anything shameful. He stood up and waved to Xu Nian and went to his workshop.
Xu Nian was startled when he stood up suddenly, thinking that he was really going to punish her. She was also surprised that Xu Hongqi had never hit her before, but she was always afraid of him. However, when she saw him waving at her, she immediately frowned.
No. Is she a dog?
However, curiosity got the better of her, and she followed him in. Right next to where she slept last night, the first thing she saw upon entering was a very large table. This was the first time she had seen such a large table in this era. The table was filled with spare parts, equipment, and some electrical appliance shells, but there was order in the chaos, as if they were categorized.
There's nothing interesting to see elsewhere, just a bed and two stools.
Xu Nian walked over and touched something on the table, then turned to ask the person involved, "What kind of machine is this?"
The door was wide open, and Xu Hongqi was leaning against it. Because he was facing away from the light, he couldn't see clearly. He spoke in a deep voice, with a different tone than usual, "It's a radio. I recycled the old, broken one, reassembled it, and am selling it outside."
Xu Nian blurted out subconsciously, "Is this smuggling?"
As she finished speaking, she saw Xu Hongqi coming towards her against the light. "Smuggling?"
"You know a lot. I've told you everything you wanted to know. Now that you've eaten and your curiosity is satisfied, go get your homework and start doing it."
Xu Nian was confused. Did he satisfy his curiosity?
No, no, no, this is not the point. The point is that it is wrong to do this now. If you are discovered, you will be finished. The small black market only sells vegetables, cloth and daily necessities of the people. He is going to do something big in one go. Is he planning to develop a big black market?
Xu Nian looked around the house and couldn't help but think that it was no wonder that she rented Brother Hong's house. If she remembered correctly, Brother Hong was now working in a transportation team, which meant that the industrial chain was in place.
Xu Nian never thought that he had done so many things behind her back. They were in contact with each other on a regular basis, so how could she not have noticed? She looked at Xu Hongqi deeply and couldn't help but say, "Are you going to cry behind bars?"
Xu Hongqi didn't quite understand. "What new word did you come up with?" His eyes flickered as he reflected and replied, "No, don't worry."
rest assured?
Bullshit heart!
She made up an excuse for him, "Are you short of money?"
Xu Hongqi laughed and said, "Everyone is short of money."
Oh, that’s right, Xu Nianxiang.
No, she suddenly came to her senses. What was right? The market economy was not allowed yet, which was wrong. Xu Nian asked again: "Don't you have money to sell your job?"
Xu Hongqi thought Xu Nian was trying to avoid doing homework, so he looked at her meaningfully and said, "Who has more money?" After saying this, he seemed to understand that he couldn't wait for Xu Nian to study actively, so he said bluntly, "Hurry up and do your homework."
Xu Nian opened her mouth and then closed it weakly. She looked at Xu Hongqi and then at the pile of things on the table, not knowing what to do.
But one thing is clear: this integrity may be lost, and she is powerless to change it.
She wanted to do her homework in the bedroom, but Xu Hongqi disagreed. He pulled her into the workroom and carved out a space for her on the big table. "Go ahead and do your homework!"
Xu Nian took out her homework dejectedly and started to write. She was absent-minded but her study habit was to do the difficult ones first and then the easy ones. The first thing she wrote was the math problem. As you can imagine, she didn't do it right, but it was almost the same.
Xu Hongqi continued to assemble and repair the parts. Seeing Xu Nian scratching his hair, he frowned. "Is your head itchy? If it itches badly, we'll go over right away."
Xu Nian didn't know when the pencil got stuck between her nose and mouth. When she heard his words, she pouted and gave him a look of resentment. However, she couldn't think of any other solution, so she could only put it aside for the time being. She shook her head, pulled out her pencil and began to work on the homework seriously...
The two of them had sesame cakes for lunch. The stove was not very popular here, so the tableware was not complete. Xu Hongqi was very caring and even added a small bottle of canned fruit to the lunch.
Xu Nian felt the food tasted sweet in his mouth, but he couldn’t think about where it came from, otherwise his happiness would be halved.
That afternoon, Xu Nian was taken to the county hospital by Xu Hongqi. This was Xu Nian's third visit there. An old man examined her for lice. He parted her hair to examine her condition, then unscrewed the pen cap and scribbled two lines, "Go get the medicine. Apply it morning and night. It will be almost gone in less than a week."
Xu Nian had heard Liang Ting say that day that some people shaved their heads to treat lice. After hearing the old doctor's simple explanation, he was happy but also a little skeptical.
Xu Nian wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Xu Hongqi. He asked the doctor, "Is her condition serious? Can she wash her hair after applying the medicine?" He knew that Xu Nian loved cleanliness and washed her hair frequently.
The old doctor took a sip of water and said, "It's not serious. Your scalp is quite clean. Just wash your hair normally and apply the medicine as I said."
Xu Nian felt relieved and accompanied Xu Hongqi to get the medicine. When they left the hospital, their steps became lighter, their mood became happier, and they jumped up and down.
Xu Hongqi glanced at her and asked, "So happy?"
Xu Nian couldn't help but chuckle and whispered, "I thought I had to shave my head."
Xu Hongqi also laughed, "What a success! You cried for so long yesterday, didn't it mean you had your head shaved?"
Xu Nian refused to answer this question and kept urging people, "Let's go home quickly. I need to apply the medicine and get better soon."
Before Xu Nian traveled through time, he was still a student. He hadn't had the chance to experience the world and had never done a manicure, so he always had short nails. After coming here, he was influenced by the environment and didn't dare to grow long nails. Otherwise, if he stayed in the countryside for a while, he would definitely have French black nails.
So when Xu Hongqi applied the medicine to Xu Nian, he didn't see the scratched scalp, so he boldly applied some upwards.
The ointment had a little smell, but Xu Nian felt a cool and comfortable feeling on his scalp after applying it. They thought the light outside was good, so they applied it in the yard. Xu Nian sat on a small stool, and Xu Hongqi made a high stool. The two of them, one tall and one short, looked quite harmonious.
Xu Nian quietly enjoyed the service of the future boss, but her head felt a little sore after a while. Xu Hongqi didn't let her move. In order to divert her attention, Xu Nian looked around. She accidentally saw a small hole at the knee of Xu Hongqi's pants. She stared at it, thinking that he was so good to her, she should be grateful, so she asked him to take it off and she would sew it up herself.
As she looked at it, her thoughts drifted away again, but her hands unconsciously pressed on the small hole, stretching the already small opening even wider.
Xu Hongqi was quite satisfied to see Xu Nian quiet down. He kept thinking about the words "go home quickly" she had just said. He didn't know why he kept wanting to savor them. He could taste some sweetness. When he realized what he was thinking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with him. The next thing that became abnormal was his knees, which felt numb and uncomfortable.
He took advantage of the opportunity to glance down, his face instantly darkening, "Xu Nian, what are you doing?"
Xu Nian looked up and opened his mouth... but heard a knock on the door, followed by a female voice.
"Hongqi, are you home?"
