"Gu Ye, you're up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Jiang Yue knew that making cement floors was time-consuming and labor-intensive. She woke up once in the middle of the night in a daze, and the lights in the yard were still on.
So Jiang Yue guessed that Gu Ye must have slept very late last night.
"I'm used to it. I get up on time." Seeing Jiang Yue staring at him, Gu Ye turned his head awkwardly. He pointed to the corner and said, "I didn't lay the cement floor over there, so I left it for you."
Jiang Yue had mentioned before that she wanted to build a cobblestone road, but she didn't expect Gu Ye still remembered it.
However, there has been heavy rain recently and the stream has risen in water. We have to wait until the water recedes before we can go picking up pebbles.
Jiang Yue felt very happy at the thought that she would no longer have to worry about stepping in mud when it rained. She decided not to argue with Gu Ye about how he disliked her for being a hindrance yesterday.
Gu Ye looked at Jiang Yue walking happily in the yard, but he felt a little conflicted. Jiang Yue was so happy, and he was obviously happy in his heart too, but he felt as if something was missing.
What's missing?
After breakfast, Gu Ye went to the group. Jiang Yue practiced riding a bicycle in the yard. After riding a few laps, she suddenly thought of buying a small chair to put on the back seat of the bike, otherwise Ningning would easily fall off the bike if she sat in the back.
Jiang Yue remembered that she still had two pieces of clothing to pick up from Aunt Yang's place, so she went over to get the clothes and see if there were any small wicker chairs for sale. So Jiang Yue called Ningning to get up, and the two of them packed up and went to the county town.
Gu Ye had just finished reading a few documents when he received a call from the gate reporting that Jiang Yue and Ning Ning had left the division headquarters.
"Got it!" Gu Ye put down the phone and immediately called Xue Hongliang in. He arranged the morning's work, went to the political commissar's office and told Political Commissar Tang that he had something to do outside, and then left in a hurry.
Political Commissar Tang held a cup of tea and turned to ask Xue Hongliang: "What is Gu doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xue Hongliang shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
When Gu Ye walked to the gate of the division headquarters, the soldiers on guard immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Commander Gu!"
Gu Ye returned the greeting and asked, "Which way did they go?"
"Over there!" The soldier pointed in a direction, and it was indeed the road to the county town.
"Okay! Thanks!" Ever since Gu Ye ran into Jiang Yue selling French fries in the county town last time, he decided to follow him the next day to see how the situation was. Unexpectedly, he encountered extremely bad weather that night. It rained for many days in a row, and he went out to prevent floods and only came back yesterday.
When he met Jiang Yue and Ning Ning at the gate of the division headquarters yesterday, Gu Ye had guessed that Jiang Yue had gone to the county town to sell French fries again, so early this morning, he notified the gate guard to keep an eye out for him and tell him immediately if Jiang Yue and Ning Ning went out.
Arriving at the county town, Jiang Yue first went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Seeing that there was beef today, Jiang Yue hurried to queue up and bought two kilograms.
After giving the money and the ticket, someone called Jiang Yue and said, "Miss, are you still selling French fries today? You gave me such a big portion yesterday, and my little grandson was so happy to eat it. He urged me to buy some this morning."
The person who spoke was the auntie who often bought French fries. What a coincidence, Jiang Yue met her here where she bought beef.
"Something happened at home recently, so I probably won't be able to sell any chips for a few days." Jiang Yue didn't say anything definite. Although she doesn't sell French fries now, she can't guarantee that she won't sell them in the future.
But the prerequisite is that she can find a large supply of vegetable oil and get rid of that stinky dog-skin plaster Xu Ergou.
"Oh, so, girl, tell me how you make your tomato sauce. I also made it at home, but it's never as delicious as yours." The aunt wanted to know Jiang Yue's secret recipe again.
"It will taste better if you add more sugar!" said Jiang Yue.
When the aunt heard this, she left happily. Before leaving, she revealed a piece of news to Jiang Yue: "I just saw Xu Ergou, sneaking around. I think he was looking for you. Girl, be careful, Xu Ergou is very bad!"
"Got it. Thank you, Auntie!" Jiang Yue was not nervous at all when she heard that. She would not set up the stall today, so she was not afraid that Xu Ergou would bring the joint defense team to arrest her.
There were still a lot of people in the market today. Jiang Yue took a look around, but probably because there was no big market, she didn't see anyone selling rattan weaving. So after buying the vegetables, she left the market and walked towards Aunt Yang's tailor shop.
Gu Ye followed Jiang Yue all the way from the 179th Division Headquarters to the county town. He was a scout and had followed her all the way. Jiang Yue didn't even notice that he was being followed.
However, to Gu Ye's surprise, Jiang Yue didn't seem to be selling French fries today. She bought meat and vegetables at the market, walked around as if looking for something, and finally came out without buying anything.
Gu Ye watched Jiang Yue walking towards the old street, with Ning Ning jumping and skipping beside her. He had planned to show up, but then he realized that someone was following Jiang Yue, so he hid again. He wanted to see who was following Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue had just walked out of the vegetable market and not far away when she realized that she was being followed. She remembered the aunt's reminder and deliberately slowed down in crowded places. She quietly looked back and found Xu Ergou's sneaky figure.
Jiang Yue quickly picked up Ningning, walked a few steps quickly, and found a corner to hide.
"Where is that woman?"
The people following Jiang Yue suddenly lost sight of Jiang Yue and all stopped.
"He must be hiding! Find him now while there are few people here!"
Xu Ergou came to the vegetable market early this morning to wait, and he also called the joint defense team in advance. They were just waiting for the ignorant woman to set up her stall, and then they rushed out to catch her.
But what disappointed Xu Ergou was that the woman did not set up her stall today. But it didn't matter, they had agreed that after the woman left the vegetable market, they would take her to the joint defense team for a body search on the pretext of a routine search.
