As Hu Shengli entered the house, he tried to say something but was stopped by Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang gave all the local grain coupons he had obtained that day, as well as those he had previously received from Section Chief Ma, to Hu Shengli, since he was leaving anyway and wouldn't need them.
At the same time, he set aside 5,000 yuan from the money he received today and gave it to Hu Shengli.
Hu Shengli looked at all the things and money. "Godfather, this is a bit too much, another 5,000 yuan this time."
Wang Qiang shook his head. "This isn't much. Remember this: exchange these coupons for grain as soon as possible and store it at home."
"Sigh, I understand, Godfather, don't worry."
As Hu Shengli spoke, he brought over the antiques and placed them on the table.
"Godfather, you're leaving tomorrow. I don't want any of these antiques that I'm giving you."
Wang Qiang didn't really know much about antiques, but since Hu Shengli said it was a good thing, it must be true, since he dealt with these kinds of things all the time.
Wang Qiang told Hu Shengli to put the things aside first, then took out the two pieces of ancient jade and handed them to Hu Shengli.
"Shengli, can you tell me what era these two pieces of jade are from?"
Hu Shengli took the small box, slowly opened it, and inside were two ancient jade pieces with simple and elegant shapes. Hu Shengli held them in his hands and examined them carefully.
“Godfather, these two pieces of ancient jade are definitely from ancient times. Look at the powerful and vigorous carving, and the bold and unrestrained shape. It’s just that I don’t know what the symbols on them mean.”
"I think it's absolutely priceless."
Wang Qiang nodded, then put the two pieces of jade away and placed them in his pocket.
"Victory, I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't mention what happened today to anyone."
Hu Shengli, holding Wang Qiang's hand, choked with emotion: "Godfather, you are truly my benefactor. Without you, I really don't know what I would do now."
Wang Qiang said with a smile, "It's fate that we met. These antiques are all yours."
Hu Shengli quickly shook his head upon hearing this. "Godfather, I can't accept these things. Firstly, it's my way of showing filial piety, and secondly, it's not safe for me to keep them. If I give myself away, it will cause you unnecessary trouble."
Wang Qiang thought about this and agreed. If these antiques remained with Hu Shengli and were seen by someone one day, the news would spread, and Director Wang would definitely find out.
Things are not going well, so it would be better to take it with me and put it in my space, so that no one will know.
With that thought in mind, Wang Qiang stopped refusing and asked Hu Shengli to pack the things.
Seeing that it was getting late and the streets would be crowded by evening, Wang Qiang took his things and left Hu Shengli's house. He then returned to Li Yong's house.
Seeing that no one was around, Wang Qiang released the truck from his spatial storage.
Less than half an hour later, it was already dawn.
Wang Qiang returned to his room. He woke He Yuzhu and told him to go check on the car.
He Yuzhu was half asleep when Wang Qiang suddenly woke him up. He was about to lash out, but when he saw it was Wang Qiang, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
I could only get up, put on my clothes, and go outside to look at the cars.
Seeing that no one was around, Wang Qiang quickly went into the space. He hadn't slept all night and was exhausted. He also had to drive today, so he needed to avoid driving while fatigued and causing an accident.
Wang Qiang desperately needed to replenish his energy. He immediately immersed himself in the Ruyi Pool, instantly feeling the mental energy he had consumed yesterday due to using the illusion technique rapidly recover, and his fatigue gradually dissipated.
At the same time, he felt his meridians surging rapidly, and Wang Qiang felt that his strength had increased significantly compared to before.
Wang Qiang unleashed his Palm Thunder. He discovered that although its power remained unchanged, he could now use it six times consecutively, a full doubling of his previous strength.
Although Wang Qiang still didn't understand how he had leveled up, he was still very happy. He felt his mental energy had fully recovered before emerging from the space.
When Wang Qiang arrived at the courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu and the others preparing breakfast, and they had also boiled some eggs to leave for the road.
Both Li Man and Chen Jing had smiles on their faces, clearly very happy, especially Chen Jing, who was extremely excited to be able to leave this place and go to Beijing with her daughter.
When Chen Jing's eyes met Wang Qiang's, she couldn't help but recall the days at Ruyi Pond, and then turned and went into her room.
Li Yong felt a pang of melancholy; he couldn't just leave like others. But looking at his wife and daughter who were about to leave, he felt a deep sense of reluctance.
Upon meeting Wang Qiang, she became his mistress again, entrusting him with taking care of them.
Wang Qiang readily agreed: "Don't worry, just let them come with me. I will take good care of them."
He smiled to himself, thinking, "I'll definitely take care of it for you."
I just don't know if their understanding of "taking care" is the same. After the group finished breakfast, they called He Yuzhu to join them for breakfast, and then prepared to set off.
However, due to the limited space in the truck cab, He Yuzhu could only sit in the back of the truck with the sheep.
Therefore, he specially took two quilts from Li Yong's house to cover himself.
Li Yong watched with deep reluctance as his wife and daughter boarded the truck and slowly drove away from his sight. Despite his immense reluctance, there was nothing he could do.
Due to the limited space in the driver's cab, it was already quite an achievement to be able to fit Qin Huairu and Li Man; now that another person has been added, the space feels even more cramped.
These days, having a car is considered a blessing. Many people can only ride bicycles or even walk.
Wang Qiang drove his car slowly away from the county town.
...
At Director Wang's house. Director Wang's wife woke up to find the sculpture from the previous night gone. She was horrified. She pinched her thigh, finally realizing this wasn't a dream.
"Could I have been seeing things yesterday? That's impossible."
She was completely baffled and couldn't understand what had happened last night. But then she thought about what she had done last night.
Her cheeks flushed, and she suddenly developed a fever.
Especially thinking about how I actually hugged the sculpture last night, and chuckled foolishly: "I'm such a silly woman, doing something like this with just a sculpture."
While he was still immersed in the memories of last night, he heard a woman's cry coming from Director Wang's bedroom. He knew this woman was the one Director Wang had brought back last night.
Her name is He Manting. She works for the Livestock Bureau. She's 27 years old this year. For some reason, Old Wang has taken a liking to her. At this moment, the woman's cries only made Director Wang's wife more agitated, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"You little vixen, already acting all lewd first thing in the morning."
I tried to cover my ears to stop listening, but the sound kept coming, making me even more annoyed. But after a while, I heard Director Wang calling my name.
"Li Hongmei, come here and die!"
