Lian Xiaomin unzipped her bag, took out two bundles of big unity fish, plus five hundred kilograms of national food coupons, and exchanged them with Zhang Yuan for a large yellow croaker.
Many of these national food coupons were given to her by Xiao Hong at the end. They were all useless anyway, and there were still quite a few left.
She took out a roll of army green cotton cloth and a roll of red floral cloth from the car. Each roll was fifteen meters long, which was quite a lot. She wrapped them in a piece of black cloth and let him hug them.
"Give these cloths to your comrades. They are better than money."
Zhang Yuan thanked the boss with a smile, and he didn’t know why she had so much cloth in the car!
By the way, the boss opened five Lanting cloth shops, and there must be cloth everywhere...
Seeing him carrying the letter of introduction, he hurried towards Luohu Village.
Lian Xiaomin drove the jeep out of the city and waited for him at the intersection. It was a good opportunity for her to go into the space to eat something and take a shower.
Zhang Yuan's comrade-in-arms was a good person and had done him a favor. He was a fugitive and had taken his brother to seek refuge with him. He was willing to help, so he was a good person and should repay him.
Lian Xiaomin had been there once before to bring some supplies to Jiang Weiqiang.
It was not until 12:50 in the morning that Zhang Yuan finally returned to the intersection and found the boss's jeep.
"Boss, I'll drive the car at night. You go to the back seat and rest."
"That's fine. Have you eaten? Here are cakes and fruits."
Zhang Yuan started the car and drove forward. He also had to get used to the left-side driver's seat, so he didn't go to eat first.
He had practiced before setting off. I don't know where the boss found an unbranded car with the cab on the left side, and found a place for him to practice for four or five days.
When he was a soldier, he learned to drive in the army and quickly became proficient after adapting.
Especially in the middle of the night, there was not a single car on the avenue. In 1974, how many cars were there?
Just open it casually. You will get used to it after opening it.
Lian Xiaomin sat in the back seat and asked Zhang Yuan how his comrade was doing.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said that Jiang Weiqiang's family was not doing well, but since he left so much money, things should be better.
The main reason is that there are many children in the family. If it really doesn't work out, I'd like to let him come over to live with me in a few years and earn more money.
Zhang Yuan said that he had some food at his comrade's house to fill his stomach. There were cakes, apples and pears on the side. He ate a lot and drove seriously.
Lian Xiaomin went to bed first, and then the two of them would take turns driving.
Zhang Yuan was very happy to follow his eldest brother on this trip. His younger brother Zhang Mai has gone to London to study at university, and he has no worries. He must be very excited to be able to return to the mainland.
Thinking that he would soon see his mother and sister, he became even more eager to return home.
…
The two drove the jeep all the way, without encountering any danger, nor going to any other cities, and drove straight to the northeast.
Six days later, in the early morning of June 22, they entered the Liao Province.
Lian Xiaomin took over the driving. She drove directly to the edge of Jianye County, found a forest, parked the car, and asked Zhang Yuan to wait at the intersection with a cloth bag of food.
He pretended to stay behind to change his clothes and quietly put the jeep into the space.
She also picked up a cloth bag, went out of the woods, and walked towards Hongdou Hutong with Zhang Yuan.
The house at Liangzhanqian Street and Xinyu Street was previously where the children lived.
Later, Yufang went to work as a salesperson in a department store in the county town, and the store let her live in a house.
I didn’t know if she would still live there after she married Huang Liyuan, so I didn’t go there yet.
At that time, Huang Liyuan had just started working as a railway conductor, had a dormitory, and was saving money to buy a house so that he could marry Yufang the following year.
I guess they have bought a house now, so Yufang has to move there.
The two walked for twenty minutes and arrived at the gate of the house in Hongdou Hutong.
Previously, this place was rented out to Pang Yikang's family, and the Shen Chuntian brothers were also here.
The door is locked, so there should be no one there.
Lian Xiaomin used her mental power to check and confirm what was inside.
The four rooms are now empty.
However, one of the rooms showed some signs of habitation, with two sets of bedding on the kang, and several sets of clothes in the closet, all men's clothes, indicating that someone often came here.
It must be that the two brothers of the Shen family occasionally come to the county town, stay here, and also take a look at the house.
Lian Xiaomin found the key to the yard. Fortunately, she, the owner of the house, had a copy.
He unlocked the gate and led Zhang Yuan in.
In the middle of the night, two men tiptoed around, locked the courtyard gate, and opened the locks of two doors, one for each of them.
Lian Xiaomin put down her things, took out a flashlight and a few candles from the space, went to Zhang Yuan's room next door, lit the candles, and placed them on the kang table.
"There are quilts in the cupboard, both thin and thick, and there are pillows. You can take them out and use them. You can go to the backyard to take a shower by the tap. You can also use the enamel washbasin in this room."
Zhang Yuan took out a thin sheet and a pillow from the cupboard. They smelled like they had been exposed to the sun.
"Boss, is there anyone taking care of this place? The quilts have been dried in the sun, and everything is very clean."
Lian Xiaomin nodded: "They are Sun Xuefeng's cousins. They help me with work here and come to the county town occasionally. They live here, probably in the house on the west side."
She didn't rush to bed, but discussed the next steps with Zhang Yuan.
Tomorrow, she would have to get a new blank letter of introduction and then give one to Zhang Yuan, asking him to take the train in two days to return to his hometown, Wulitai Village, Lishu County, Jilin Province.
First bring my family to Jianye County and let them stay for a few days.
After she returned to Sandaogou to visit her relatives and friends and finished all her business, we drove back to Bao'an County together.
