Chapter 187 Receiving Gifts



"Team leader, we should go to the farm to find Qiao Baozhu at this time."

Zheng Kai hesitated for a moment and reminded Dong Chao in a low voice.

Dong Chao smiled faintly and turned to look at Zou Yun.

"Xiao Zou, what do you mean?"

Zou Yun said without hesitation: "Qiao Baozhu is a hero who has made great contributions. She is very influential in Qingyanshan Farm. Director Guo personally received us yesterday. In addition to protecting her reputation, he also meant to give us a warning."

Zheng Kai frowned, secretly wondering: When did Director Guo warn them? Hasn't he always been very kind?

"I think Qiao Baozhu must be suspended from work at home, waiting for us to visit her."

An outstanding employee who had just made a contribution was suddenly visited and investigated by outsiders. No matter what the truth was, it would cause a lot of speculation.

As a leading cadre of Qingyanshan Farm, Director Guo has more and longer-term things to consider.

Zheng Kai curled his lips and had an even worse impression of Qiao Baozhu.

"This woman's background is not simple."

What Dong Chao was thinking about was the "local specialty" that Director Guo gave him, which was an envelope.

He thought there would be a few big unity papers inside, and hadn't opened it when he returned to the guesthouse. When he woke up in the morning and opened it, he found that there were 10 industrial papers inside.

Industrial coupons are actually industrial vouchers!

Dong Chao’s first reaction was confusion.

Even though he is the leader of the investigation team outside, he is just an ordinary section chief when he returns to the unit.

The salary is not high, and even if you can make some profit from traveling to investigate cases, the profit will not be too much.

When people with good backgrounds and conditions got into trouble, their well-informed colleagues would grab the job first. Ordinary clerks like them with no background could only come to the countryside.

How generous could the farm employees be? Dong Chao thought there could be at most five big unity notes in the envelope.

Who would have thought that it wasn’t money, but industrial coupons which were harder to get than money!

Industrial coupons are good things, and good things can only be bought with industrial coupons.

A white Dacron shirt, I don't need cloth coupons but industrial coupons.

Radios, bicycles, cameras, and televisions require industrial rolls.

Dong Chao had always coveted the position of deputy director. After using his connections for a long time, he finally got an answer - a Phoenix brand bicycle.

The leader's daughter couldn't get whatever she wanted, except that Phoenix brand bicycles were too rare.

These days, ordinary people ride cheap bikes like Hongmian, Wuyang, Xiangjiang, etc., while people of status ride Fenghuang, Forever, and Feige.

Phoenix brand bicycles are of better quality and more beautiful appearance, making them a hard-to-come-by luxury item.

A Phoenix brand bicycle costs 150 yuan, 30 industrial coupons and a bicycle purchase ticket.

Dong Chao was able to afford 150 yuan and got a bicycle ticket, but he was still unable to save up enough industrial coupons.

The 10 tickets given by Director Guo made Dong Chao realize the generosity of grassroots cadres in the countryside.

Dong Chao suspected that these industrial volumes were given to him by Director Guo on behalf of Qiao Baozhu.

Dong Chao was in a dilemma as to whether he should accept this "specialty".

Zou Yun was on the other side trying to figure out Dong Chao's expression. Seeing that Dong Chao looked normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday afternoon, Director Guo treated the three people to dinner. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Director Guo called over a few farm workers.

They were all Qiao Baozhu's colleagues, both male and female, old and young.

Among them was a female cadre named Zhang, who was both a family member of the Corps and Qiao Baozhu’s former leader.

The two chatted for a long time, and both felt that they had met too late. Seeing that her skin was dry, the female comrade lent her the clam oil she carried with her to clean her face.

The female comrade named Zhang was very enthusiastic. She not only lent her clam oil, but also helped her get hot water to wash her face.

After she left, Zou Yun found a bottle of Friendship Cream and two clam oils in his shirt pocket.

Zou Yun remembered that when he washed his face, she helped him get his cotton-padded jacket. It was at that time that the vanishing cream was stuffed into his pocket.

When he first found out, Zou Yun was quite angry.

She guessed that the woman was Qiao Baozhu's accomplice, and these things were also bought by Qiao Baozhu.

Qiao Baozhu was bribing and corrupting herself. If she took Qiao Baozhu's things and her unit leaders found out, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

Zou Yun even thought about handing over these two things to prove his integrity and selflessness.

But, that is Ya Shuang Lotion Cream.

That's not an ordinary vanishing cream, it's a cream.

She usually uses ordinary bagged vanishing cream and has never used the Ya Shuang vanishing cream that costs five yuan a bottle.

Maybe Qiao Baozhu was not trying to corrupt herself, but asked her to help her seek justice.

If she wasn't sincere, kind and serious about her work, how could she have made so many friends.

From farm leaders to ordinary workers and peasants, everyone stood up to speak for Qiao Baozhu?

Dong Chao and Zou Yun were eager to see Qiao Baozhu. They wanted to see this wealthy and righteous woman.

Qiao Baozhu got up very early this morning.

It wasn't that she was suspended from work that affected her sleep, but there were two more panting little girls on the kang. They farted, gnashed their teeth, and talked in their sleep, which made Qiao Baozhu unable to sleep well.

When she got up in the morning, Qiao Baozhu heated up the house.

The breakfast made for the two sisters was boiled noodles and a poached egg for each.

After dinner, the sisters Wei Fang and Wei Hong were asked to sit on the kang and do their homework.

She threw the sisters' dirty and torn clothes into the washtub and left them soaking on the floor of the main room.

When the three members of the investigation team entered the house, they saw that the furnace was full of coal, there was a wash basin on the stove, and another basin contained sauerkraut and a piece of frozen meat.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is preparation for making dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

White flour is a scarce commodity these days, but why do we make white flour dumplings during the New Year or other festivals?

Dong Chao and Zou Yun were once shocked by the wealth of the country people.

"I'm sorry, leaders. These two children are the orphans of my husband's comrades-in-arms, the children of martyrs. Their mother is sick and in the hospital, so they are staying with me temporarily for the past few days."

Qiao Baozhu looked apologetic and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I couldn't arrange for the two children to go out and play. Please wait for me for a moment."

Qiao Baozhu took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from the cupboard and took out a can of food and handed it to Wei Fang.

"Wei Fang, Wei Hong, your aunt is going to entertain guests, so you two should go to the hospital to see your mother. I will make dumplings today, cook them and send them to the hospital, and we can eat together."

Dong Chao, Zou Yun and Zheng Kai looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

They knew the identities of Wei Fang and Wei Hong very well, and also knew why the two sisters appeared in Qiao Baozhu's house.

They didn't expect that Qiao Baozhu was such a coward.

Not only do I get tired of serving children, I also have to serve adults.

This woman, does she have money to burn?
