"Mom, are you in a bad mood?"
Pei Yifan now understands his mother more and more. Seeing his mother frowning in annoyance, he asked
Li Miaomiao shook her head: "It's nothing, I just thought of something troublesome."
Li Miaomiao looked at Pei Yifan and said, "Xiaofan, do you miss your father? All the children in the village have fathers. If your father were still alive..."
Li Miaomiao wanted to know what her son was thinking, but Pei Yifan misunderstood and thought his mother was thinking about his father: "Mom, I don't want to. I have you and that's enough for me. Don't be sad."
"I'm not sad. It's enough for me to have a son."
Calculating the time, there are still four months left, and the remaining two months will be used later. If it is possible to go to find Pei Guoan later, the later the better. If it were not for the main task that cannot be refused, Li Miaomiao felt that Pei Guoan would not have to show up.
Li Miaomiao calculated that the time was almost up, so she used her survival points from the system to buy some braised peanuts and took them to the recycling station.
When she arrived at the recycling station, Li Miaomiao clearly felt that someone was watching her from all directions. Those people were wearing casual clothes, but you could tell from their temperament that they were from the army.
"Uncle, what happened? Why do I feel like the atmosphere outside is a little off?"
Li Miaomiao asked when she saw the old man. Although the surroundings looked no different from the outside, she believed that the old man must know what was going on.
"You are a smart girl."
The old man glanced at Li Miaomiao and said calmly, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Hey, so there really is someone watching this place?"
Li Miaomiao put a bag of braised peanuts on the table while speaking. "Uncle, these braised peanuts are dried. I only have this much. Please eat them sparingly. I don't know when you'll get the next one."
The old man weighed the peanuts in his hand, which weighed more than two pounds. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he glanced outside.
"I won't be polite when my goddaughter gives me such a gift. I just issued a few meat coupons. You can take them back and buy some dried meat for your grandson later."
Li Miaomiao understood immediately and followed the old man's words, "Uncle, why are you being so polite to me? It's just a few boiled peanuts, not worth much."
"Okay, I like this one. You're so thoughtful to send it to me. Go back quickly and use the meat coupons to buy some meat for my good grandson."
"Then I'll go back first. Please take care of yourself, sir. I'll come see you again when I have time."
After coming out of the recycling station, Li Miaomiao's mind started to move. It seemed that the situation was extremely serious this time. Otherwise, assembling bicycles would not be considered a speculative business, and generally no one would care about it. However, the old man was cautious and did not mention it.
She should go to the city less often during this period to avoid being targeted.
But since I'm here today, I might as well go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.
In addition, there are the meat coupons that the old man just took out, there are three of them, enough to weigh three pounds of meat.
This old man is really generous. It's just two pounds of braised peanuts, not worth so much. The old man is also a smart man. He wants to continue doing business with her in the future.
Li Miaomiao kept the meat ticket so that she could use it later. When she returned home, she bought meat and food from the system mall and put them in her backpack.
With these, I can have extra meals for several days.
provincial capital
Pei Guoan listened to his subordinates' reports
"Master Jiu, you're truly amazing. You actually guessed it in advance, so we weren't dragged into this. Boss Liang is in big trouble now. He's being watched by the higher-ups. With what they've done, they're definitely finished this time."
"You all have to stay calm too. Don't just watch Boss Liang and the others get excited. Be careful that he doesn't drag you into this. Remember, without my orders, no one is allowed to move during this period. If anyone disobeys my orders and gets themselves into this, don't even think about me sending anyone to rescue them!"
"Don't worry, Master Jiu, we all understand and will definitely not cause you any trouble."
When Zhu San said this, there was a flicker of hesitation on his face.
Pei Guoan saw this, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and a bit of cruelty appeared on his face: "You have followed me for so long, you should understand that I hate it most when people below me hide things."
"Yes, Master Jiu."
Zhu San was already hesitant, so he didn't dare to hide anything now. "It's like this, there's definitely nothing wrong here. But Wang Cai went back to his hometown for something else and was almost caught in the black market."
When Zhu San said this, Pei Guoan's face turned ugly.
"Let him come to me!"
"Master Jiu, Wang Cai was smart. He left early and didn't cause any trouble."
Zhu San and Wang Cai had a good relationship, so he spoke for Wang Cai and met Pei Guoan's cold eyes.
"Yes, Master Jiu, I'll call him over right away."
Zhu San knew Jiu Ye's temper and did not dare to delay. Soon Wang Cai came with Zhu San.
"Wang Cai, you should know my temper."
Wang just thought about this person's cruelty, and his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"Master Jiu, spare my life!"
"Tell me what happened that day?"
Wang Cai told his experience that day. Even now, he still feels a little thrilling.
"I originally thought that since I was back, I would sell some things and loosen up some of my finances. The county town shouldn't be as strictly inspected as the provincial capital. Unexpectedly, not long after I entered, I saw a woman hurriedly packing up and leaving. The woman was selling quite well, and she had good stuff. Curious, I followed her out. But not long after I left, the black market was surrounded, and no one inside escaped."
This does sound a bit strange.
"A woman? What kind of woman?"
"That woman was clearly in disguise, and her age was hard to tell. But I'm certain she must have sensed something, which is why she suddenly left. It's a good thing I followed her out of curiosity, otherwise I would have been trapped."
"So you lost that woman?"
"It was not when those uniformed men suddenly appeared that I panicked and didn't pay attention to that woman. But the goods she had were really good. I don't know where she got them from."
"You useless guy, you can even lose a woman. What's the point of saying all this?" Zhu San saw Jiu Ye in deep thought and cursed angrily.
"How about I go to the county town and ask around. Maybe that woman will show up again."
"You idiot, something like this has happened. If that woman isn't stupid, she won't show up again for a while. Besides, the situation outside is still very tense. Are you going to deliver food to someone?"
"Alright, I understand what's going on. Wang Cai, go accept your punishment yourself. If it happens again, you don't have to follow me."
