Thanks to the help of grandma Niu Cuihua, Li Mingxi prepared the meal very quickly.
Just as Simao thought, the food cooked by Li Mingxi was delicious. Before he knew it, Simao ate too much. After burping, he reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
At this moment, Grandma Niu Cuihua spoke up, "Si Mao, why don't you leave at night? I think it will be dark before you reach the county town!"
Hearing this, Simao quickly waved his hands and said, "No, grandma, I have an appointment with someone. If I don't go back, what if they are waiting for me there?"
"Besides, by the time I get to the place we agreed to meet, it will be too late. I can't stay here any longer!"
Having said this, Simao quickly stood up and said goodbye to Li Mingxi and the others, "Grandma, Xiaoxi, I'm leaving!"
After saying this, he strode out of the main room.
Seeing this, Li Mingxi quickly put down the dishes in his hands and ran out.
"Brother Simao, don't leave yet, wait for me!"
Hearing this, Simao stopped and turned to look at Li Mingxi in confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"Didn't you say you were going back with Old Man Wang? I was thinking, should I take you to talk to him tomorrow? Don't let him disagree, or have other opinions! After all, the old man has quite a temper!"
As he said this, Li Mingxi looked at Simao somewhat embarrassedly.
After all, Brother Simao accompanied Old Man Wang back out of kindness and to help. As a result, now it depends on whether Old Man Wang agrees, which makes it seem like Brother Simao is being too eager.
After hearing this, Simao just glanced at Li Mingxi indifferently, and then spoke.
"That's fine. Just come to me tomorrow and I'll go talk to him with you!"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Niu Cuihua again.
"Wait, take these back! You can give yourself a meal and replenish your nutrition. Look how thin you are!"
As she spoke, she stuffed a bag into Simao's hand.
Simao didn't want Niu Cuihua's things at all. He immediately started to refuse her, "No, grandma, I'm getting paid, don't give me this. Besides, I didn't bring you anything this time, so don't give me anything either!"
Niu Cuihua was a little angry and spoke directly in a tone that did not allow for refusal.
"No, you have to pay for everything you do in the county. Take these things. We got them in the mountains. They are not worth anything!"
Li Mingxi also tried to persuade him, "That's right, Brother Simao, these are the mushrooms and other things we picked up in the mountains. Just take them. Besides, you drove the tractor to bring me back today, so I saved money!"
In the end, under the insistence of Niu Cuihua and Li Mingxi, Simao had to accept these things.
Here, in a yard somewhere in the county town, it was getting dark, and there was still no sign of Simao, so Song Weidong became anxious.
After all, they had both agreed to meet here at 7:30.
But now it was almost time and Simao hadn't arrived yet. Song Weidong wondered if something had happened and Simao was being stopped.
You know, Simao has always been very punctual and this kind of situation has never happened before!
Look, Zhao Jianguo next to him spoke directly.
"Weidong, what's going on? Why hasn't Simao arrived yet? Why don't we just stop waiting? Didn't they say the black market opens at 8 o'clock?"
"If we go in too late, will they not let us in?"
Song Weidong didn't know what to do, and subconsciously began to pace back and forth.
This time they had a hard time finding someone to help them get a spot in the black market.
If we don’t seize this opportunity, we won’t know when the next black market will open!
After all, the authorities are strictly investigating this black market for reselling antiques!
Zhao Jianguo kept urging him, "Weidong, look, it's already 7:25 and Simao hasn't come yet. Is he scared and doesn't dare to come?"
Hearing this, Song Weidong looked up at him.
Zhao Jianguo felt somewhat at ease when being looked at by Song Weidong, and said while touching his nose.
"I'm not wrong. After all, Simao's father is the Minister of Armed Forces. Maybe he doesn't dare to buy or sell antiques at all!"
Hearing what Zhao Jianguo said, Song Weidong glared at him.
I've met this person, and to be honest, he doesn't want to bother with anything.
If it weren't for his help in getting the quota to enter the black market this time, he would have left long ago and would not be here to listen to his nonsense.
At this moment, Zhao Jianguo started to urge again, "It's time, Simao hasn't arrived yet, Weidong, let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to get in later!"
Song Weidong was really being urged to do anything, and said impatiently, "Okay, let's go!"
Anyway, he knows what Simao wants, and even if Simao doesn't go, he can buy it for him!
On this side, Simao was driving the tractor very fast on his way back to the county town in order to save time.
By the time we arrived at the factory, it was already past seven o'clock.
As soon as he parked the tractor, he hurried towards the black market.
After all, the time agreed with Song Weidong was about to arrive, and if I ran over there, it would definitely be too late.
Therefore, he simply went straight to the black market and waited for Song Weidong there.
At the same time, Huo Jingchen, Zhu Qiang and others were also heading towards the black market.
It was not until the afternoon that they heard about the black market.
At this point in time, it is no longer possible to transfer people from above.
So, Huo Jingchen arranged for a few people to go to the county armed forces department to look for people, while he and Zhu Qiang and others went to the black market to scout the area first.
Standing in a corner not far from the entrance of the black market, Zhu Qiang asked cautiously, "Boss, should we go in and take a look?"
Huo Jingchen didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiang immediately shut his mouth.
At this moment, a thin man appeared in the darkness and ran towards this side.
It looked like it was coming towards them. Seeing this, Huo Jingchen and the others immediately held their breath, fearing that they would be discovered.
If we are discovered at this time, then this mission will be a failure.
Huo Jingchen tensed up and gave Zhu Qiang a look.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiang immediately walked out along the corner of the wall carefully.
As long as that person comes this way, Zhu Qiang will go up and knock him down.
But who knew that the man ran to the place opposite the entrance of the black market and stopped there.
He kept looking around, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiang turned his head and looked at Huo Jingchen in confusion, asking for his opinion.
Huo Jingchen shook his head at him.
