"Dad, there is one more thing. We need to buy two train tickets. Huzi also wants to go with me."
Zhang Shengli asked in confusion: "Huzi? Why is that kid..."
"I told him when I came back tonight and asked him if he would like to go to France with me."
"…Hu Zi has no one at home except for his married elder sister. If he is willing to follow me, I will have an extra capable helper. As soon as he heard this, he said he was willing to follow me and wanted to go out and try his luck!"
Zhang Shengli nodded: "Okay, you two brothers together is better than one person alone. Dad understands, he also has a way to escape."
Zhang Shengli put on gloves, carried a cloth bag in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and went out.
They agreed that Zhang Wenyong would secretly return home tonight to meet and say goodbye to his family.
After seeing his father off, Zhang Wenyong went back to his room and took a nap, sleeping for more than four hours.
After waking up at around eight o'clock, the four brothers couldn't make a fire during the day, so they used a small coal stove to cook porridge.
After eating, they continued to chat. They had already found out last night that Sanyong and Huzi were leaving for another faraway country. Wang Xintian and Doubao felt particularly upset and sad.
If I can't help with anything else, I will tell the two people at home not to worry, they will help take care of the child, and that no matter what happens in the future, they will treat it as their own business.
Especially since Hu Zi has an older sister, Gui Ju, he will definitely visit her often in the future.
Hu Zi will also go to his eldest sister's house tonight to explain things to her, leave some money, and let his brother-in-law take over his job.
Let’s not talk about how they arranged things. Besides, Lian Xiaomin would have to hide and not show up after returning to her home at the foot of the mountain.
Brother Sanyong made an agreement with her that after he and Huzi left, he would ask Doubao and Wang Xintian to come to Sandaogou to deliver a letter to the Zhang family, and then Lian Xiaomin would be able to show up.
No one else knew, except her aunt's family, who knew that she had gone hunting, and at that time they thought she had just returned from the mountains.
After Lian Xiaomin returned home that night, she did not unlock the gate, but climbed over the wall into her yard, entered the house, and then slipped into the space.
Take a nap in this space for two days, and you can go out on the third day.
She harvested wheat grown on twenty acres of black soil, ground it into flour with a flour mill, packed it into bags of 100 kilograms, and stacked them neatly in the warehouse in the compound.
In the ten acres of medicinal fields, most of the precious herbs can be harvested, and it is also a busy time.
These medicinal herbs are also very valuable, so we need to find a place to store them properly.
For the rest of the time, she was absorbed in practicing boxing, and the short two days passed quickly.
She rested well, and all the fatigue from her previous trip to the capital was gone.
The eleventh day of the first lunar month finally arrived, and the drama of "faking death and escaping" began.
Although she did not participate, she also went to her aunt's house and told them a brief story behind closed doors.
They also followed the premeditated story that Zhang Wenyong and Hu Zi were in danger while hunting...
The Li family sighed and said that they were all relatives and were very sad about this matter.
But only family members knew that Xiaomin also went hunting, and they never mentioned it to anyone else.
Such a big thing happened in Sandaogou, and the villagers must have felt very sympathetic towards the captain's family. Xiaomin didn't even bother to watch how the Zhang family performed. She pretended to be listless and unwell, and after taking her two children home, she seldom went out.
Only Doubao and Wang Xintian would come to chat with her. Doubao also brought her a knife made by Zhang Wenyong himself, saying that it was left to her by Brother Sanyong.
The knife handle was carved very delicately and beautifully. Lian Xiaomin held it in her hand and loved it very much. She kept the gift and hoped that everything would go well for her friend on his journey.
More than a month had passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of March. Zhang Wenrui and Hu Zi's brother-in-law Wu Zhengzhong went to the transport team to replace the two's jobs. They started as apprentices and learned to drive from Zhao Liming.
Zhao Liming also knew part of the inside story. Doubao had already gone to see him. Although he didn't mention going to France, he also said that they had to leave for unavoidable reasons.
Zhao Liming understood that the less he knew about many things, the better, but everyone was a brother for life and death, so he would definitely keep the secret like Doubao and Wang Xintian.
Like the Zhang family, Wu Zhengzhong and his wife Guiju acted out a play about their brother-in-law encountering misfortune.
He is a loyal person and knows that it was Sanyong who helped Hu Zi get this job by giving gifts and paying money.
Now, thanks to the Zhang family, I have got such a good job. I am very grateful to them. Zhang Wenrui and I are the same age, and our relationship is getting better and better.
………………………………
On the last night of March, after dark, Lian Xiaomin coaxed Xiaofu and Xiaoya to sleep, carried them to the bedroom in the space to sleep, and then quietly went to the commune.
She first came to the courtyard with a stone lion at the entrance of Dawan Hutong. This was Mr. Qian's home, and she had to get something.
The gate opened easily when pushed, but the lock had been broken long ago, probably by someone who broke into the house during the last search.
The yard was also in a mess. Seeing Mr. Qian standing like that must have raised his blood pressure.
He couldn't see it anyway.
After entering each room, I looked around first. Every room showed signs of having been searched. Apart from tables, chairs, and cabinets, there was nothing valuable left.
Finally, he came to a jujube tree in the yard. With a thought, an engineer shovel appeared in his hand.
It didn't take much effort for her to dig out the small wooden box that Mr. Qian had asked her to get.
When I opened it, I saw a box of fifty small yellow croakers, all of which were stored into the space.
He simply filled the hole on the ground, put the shovel into the space, clapped his hands and left.
