Seeing that it was almost time, Li Miaomiao woke Pei Guoan up thirty minutes in advance.
"Guoan, wake up quickly, it's almost time, get up and eat something, and get ready to go."
Pei Guoan had actually woken up at this time. Hearing this, he got up from the bed, kissed Li Miaomiao on the forehead, and then stood up quickly.
After Pei Guoan finished his meal, he checked the package that Li Miaomiao had prepared for him and was about to set off.
"Take these food with you. These are dry food. In addition, these buns and steamed buns can be taken with you to eat on the road. I also ground some soy milk for you. Take them all with you in case you get hungry on the road and have nothing to eat."
Pei Guoan looked at the buns and steamed buns Li Miaomiao had prepared and nodded: "Okay, they will definitely like the buns and steamed buns you made, maybe they will even fight for them."
"I made a lot, enough to eat, no need to fight."
Seeing that it was almost time, Pei Guoan picked up his things and drove away into the night.
But Zhang Degen took the train back to the county town. It was already midnight. Zhang Degen didn't care about anything else. There was no car at night, so he just walked back to Fanglin Village on his own two feet.
It was already midnight when Zhang Degen returned home. Wang Chunhua was asleep and was startled by the noise outside. She took out a carrying pole and found that it was Zhang Degen who had returned.
"Boss, why are you back at this time? It's the middle of the night. You scared me."
"You think I'm happy? Walking back here in the middle of the night, I'm so tired."
"Boss, why are you doing this? If you come back too late, just stay in the county town for a night. Why suffer this?"
"Stop talking about these useless things. Hurry up and wake up your son. Have him come with me to the factory to do some work right away."
"It's the middle of the night, why do we have to do it now? Can't we do it tomorrow?" Wang Chunhua said this, and when he saw Zhang Degen's grim expression, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Don't worry, I'll go call my son."
Zhang Hui was sleeping soundly and looked confused when he was woken up.
"Mom, why are you waking me up in the middle of the night?"
"It's not me who's waking you up, it's your dad."
"Didn't Dad go to the provincial capital? He's back now. How did he get back so late at night?"
Zhang Hui was also very surprised. He thought his father would come back tomorrow.
"I don't know. Go ask your dad yourself. He doesn't look very well. I wonder if he's encountered any difficulties. Hurry up."
Zhang Hui got up quickly after hearing what Wang Chunhua said.
"Dad, what's going on? What happened? Why did you rush back so late at night?"
Seeing his son, Zhang Degen told Li Miaomiao what he had reminded him, and Zhang Hui's face became serious.
"Dad, since my sister-in-law said that, there must be a reason. There are many people who are jealous of our village soap factory. There are many people at the soap factory. If they take advantage of the opportunity to do something..."
"Let's go to the factory and check it out first."
The more Zhang Degen thought about it, the more scared he became. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back in the middle of the night. After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He always felt that if he didn't check it out earlier, it would be too late.
So, the father and son took flashlights and went to the soap factory in the middle of the night.
The soap factory stopped working because of something happening. All the workers went back home first. Only a gatekeeper was left in the factory. He got up when he heard the noise.
"Captain, why are you coming to the factory so late at night?"
The person guarding the factory was arranged by Zhang Degen. He was also a member of the Zhang family and was trusted by Zhang Degen. He did not hide anything when he heard this: "The factory has been in chaos these past few days. I suspect someone took advantage of the opportunity to tamper with it. If someone from the higher-ups comes to investigate and finds something they shouldn't have, not only Ah Hui and I, but also the whole village will be in trouble."
