After listening to this, Mr. Qian nodded and signaled everyone to go back to their rooms first while he talked to Lin Zi alone.
The three men said hello and went out first.
Only Mr. Qian and Lin Zi were left in the room.
"Lin Zi, you have helped us so much. Not only did you save the lives of our four grandfathers, but you also recovered all the things that were confiscated. I have no money to repay you..."
"...I have a nice house in Jianye County, with four rooms and a spacious yard. I want to give it to you as a token of my appreciation. Besides, I am leaving there and cannot go back. Here is the house deed, please accept it!"
As Mr. Qian spoke, he took out a brown paper bag, took out the title deed from it and showed it to the other party. There was also a bunch of keys in the bag.
Lian Xiaomin couldn't refuse, and seeing his sincerity, she thought about it and accepted it.
During the time of acquaintance and cooperation, Qian Ye has gradually occupied a place in Lian Xiaomin's heart.
The other person's character and personality make her worthy of considering him as her friend, and she also hopes that he can take care of himself in the new environment.
Seeing that she accepted the deed, Mr. Qian continued, "Although my own house in Dawan Hutong in the commune was also searched, I guess they didn't find it. I buried a small wooden box under the jujube tree in the front yard."
"Inside is a box of small yellow croakers, a total of fifty. I don't think the wooden box is in the other two boxes. Go there some time and take it out, and I'll give it to you."
Lian Xiaomin was about to refuse, but he continued, "You told me on the way that you gave each of the other five guys 2,000 yuan to settle down. That's 10,000 yuan!"
"...You have to accept these small yellow croakers no matter what, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
One small yellow croaker weighs 31.25 grams and is worth about 250 yuan, so fifty of them would be worth 12,500 yuan.
Lian Xiaomin sighed. This old man really doesn't owe anyone anything. He is a strong old man.
Okay, she took it.
Anyway, there is a long time to come. With someone like me as a backer, the old man will definitely not suffer any loss in the future.
Looking at the person in front of her, she thought of her grandfather Cao Baojiang in Hong Kong... Seeing that his tea was almost gone, she thought for a moment, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a little less tea into his teacup, and took the opportunity to put a tonic pill in it.
"Let's drink tea instead of wine. Let's say goodbye. Old man, you must take care of yourself. I'll come over when I have time. See you then."
Mr. Qian smiled and drank the tea in one gulp.
Lian Xiaomin was carrying a shoulder bag and, under the pretext of hiding something, she took out another two kilograms of tea wrapped in paper and put it on the table for him to drink, then stood up and said goodbye.
After Mr. Qian sent him out of the house, Shunxi and a few others came out after hearing the noise.
Everyone sent him to the gate of the courtyard, and said goodbye reluctantly. The four of them did not go out any further.
Lian Xiaomin waved at them, turned around and left alone.
After coming out, I didn’t take the bicycle this time.
Nanluoguxiang is not too far from Dongsishitiao, so you can just take a walk and walk back to feel the urban atmosphere of the old capital.
We strolled along the way and when we got home, it was already past four o'clock. Lian Xiaomin's bag was filled with a lot of pies and steamed buns.
They were all taken out from space and wrapped in oil paper.
I was carrying a lot of cakes and biscuits in my hands, as if I had bought them from outside.
After entering, Zhang Wenyong woke up when he heard the noise. He had slept for more than three hours and he was now in much better spirits.
The two of them ate some pies and steamed buns together and were full.
The things in the yard have been almost cleaned up, and the odds and ends have been put in the cabinet in the east room.
I also took some apples and oranges to eat on the road, and filled a thermos with hot water, along with two enamel pots.
After the two men finished packing, they put the things in two backpacks, one each carrying one.
After locking all the doors, they headed straight for Shijia Hutong.
Lian Xiaomin was waiting nearby. Zhang Wenyong went to Mr. Ling's house first, said hello to them, and said that he would leave tonight and return to Sandagou.
After everything is arranged, I will return to the capital by train in a few days.
Guan Fenglin also had to make arrangements to return to France.
After waiting for half an hour, it was completely dark. Zhang Wenyong walked quickly over to meet her, and then the two continued walking, passing Qianmen Street, then out of Yongdingmen and came out of the city.
Lian Xiaomin led him to a forest with ease and asked him to wait for a moment. She continued walking for a while, looking for a hidden place, and took out the jeep from the space.
There is an extra military coat in the back seat of the car, which can be used as a cover when sleeping.
He started the jeep, drove back, picked up Zhang Wenyong, and then drove directly north, finally setting out on the road back to Sandaogou.
Zhang Wenyong sat in the passenger seat and said happily, "Xiaomin, Huzi said that one of your friends drove a jeep. That time, you rescued him halfway. This is the car, right? It's really great! I haven't driven a jeep before."
"Don't worry, come and drive in the middle of the night, I guarantee you'll have a blast~"
Zhang Wenyong suddenly remembered something and said, "You must not have slept well last night. How about I drive and you go to the back seat and sleep?"
"No, I'm energetic. It's only a few hours now. Wait until I open the door at twelve o'clock and then you can take over."
The two of them chatted like this, and time passed quickly.
At around ten o'clock, Lian Xiaomin handed over her seat to Zhang Wenyong, who, under her supervision and guidance, warmed up and got familiar with the jeep.
Zhang Wenyong got the hang of it quickly and drove the car normally.
Lian Xiaomin then went to the back seat to sleep with peace of mind. She never expected that the work that had always been done by Sun Xuefeng would one day be replaced by Brother San Yong.
The journey was relatively smooth, and at around eight o'clock the next evening, they finally drove the jeep close to Sandagou.
Lian Xiaomin parked the car behind a hidden woods.
Zhang Wenyong got out of the car, put on the black mask Xiaomin gave him, and wrapped a black scarf around his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
These bright eyes stared at Xiaomin, silently bidding her final farewell.
Time is running out, and they have to be secretive enough to ensure they are not discovered. Before they leave, they may not have a chance to see each other again.
Lian Xiaomin patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Sanyong, take care!"
Zhang Wenyong nodded and said, "You too!"
Turning around, the tall figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a series of clear footprints on the snow.
Lian Xiaomin knew that he had to secretly go to Hu Zi's house in Gaojiatun to hide first, and at the same time reassure his three brothers.
In order to cover up for Xiaomin, they must have followed the previous plan and continued to hide at home, pretending to go hunting.
She went back to the village directly. Her aunt's family thought she had gone hunting, but she told others that she was visiting her fellow villager Aunt Pan and would stay for a few days.
And she also returned to the village with a mission.
Zhang Wenyong wrote a letter to Zhang Shengli, briefly explaining what had happened and asking his father to secretly go to Hu Zi's home to talk in detail.
The letter must be delivered to the captain tonight.
He put the jeep into the space and walked quickly towards the village.
