Chapter 132 The Road is Difficult to Travel
"This strong wind has been blowing all day. I was almost swept away when I went out this morning."
Gao Xiulan stood at the door of her house, listening to the whistling sound of the wind outside, and felt worried.
"The wind was so strong that I thought the roof of the toilet was almost blown away."
Now when I go out and the wind blows, I can’t open my eyes and I have to keep my mouth closed, otherwise I will be filled with cold wind.
He huddled at the foot of the wall and moved in small steps. If he was not too light, he would not be able to withstand the wind.
After taking two steps with great difficulty, the wind blew and I took three steps back.
I simply didn't go out and stayed at home.
Xie Da Jiao sat by the stove, where persimmons were roasting and tea was boiling.
This tea was given to Xiaotong by her uncle, and it smells like authentic tea.
The tea soup is clear and green, without any tea leaves foam.
He poured a cup and handed it to Gao Xiulan to warm her hands.
Lin Xiaotong sat aside turning over the roasted persimmons. She had to relax today because she had to go to work tomorrow.
The workers were sad and crying.
Diao Yulian, who was standing to the west, was cursing in the corridor: "What a horrible weather! The clothes I just washed yesterday were blown to the ground again."
The smelly clothes that Wu Shengli took off when he had diarrhea that day were washed and hung on the rope in the yard yesterday.
My back and waist ached from washing, and I was busy all night. I just hung the clothes in the yard and didn't think about taking them back.
Who would have thought that in the second half of the night, the window would be crackling in the wind, waking her up suddenly.
Thinking about the clothes confiscated outside the yard, something bad happened!
She hurriedly wrapped herself in thick clothes and went out shivering. The scene before her made her heart chilled.
The clothes hanging outside were frozen stiff, and all fell to the ground in strange and ugly shapes.
Her little clothes were all rolled up and hung on the branches of the tree, and they couldn't fall off. It was so embarrassing.
One of Wu Shengli's shorts was blown away by the wind and he couldn't find it after searching for the whole morning.
"God is really not willing to give us a good life."
Diao Yulian impatiently washed her small clothes again and hung them on a stick on the door frame in the room to dry.
My arms were so tired that they were sore. As soon as I walked in, I saw Wu Shengli leisurely cleaning his beloved bicycle in the main room.
"Wu Shengli, you're a dead man, and you don't even come to help me."
"Here it comes, keep your voice down. Don't get so angry every day."
Wu Shengli found the woman's voice irritating.
As expected, they were all gentle and considerate before they got married, but their tempers became worse after they got married.
…
Somewhere in an alley deep in the alley.
Fu Zhengze was eating mutton soup at noon. Perhaps it was because the cook's cooking skills were not good, he always felt that the soup had a bit of a smell of mutton.
He drank a few sips reluctantly and then waved his hand to have the drink taken away.
Maybe he hadn't been out for a long time, Fu Zhengze's face was frighteningly pale, and there were some bruises at the corners of his eyes and mouth.
Director Wang has been becoming increasingly impatient with him lately, always making excuses when asked to help find something.
He was looking for the good things left by his father Fu Wenlei, and he had made some progress recently.
When he saw his father for the last time, he silently said the word "nine".
After he was released, he lay on the bed and carefully thought about the meaning of the word his father said.
Fu Wenlei’s favorite number is nine, and the things found in the cellar during the raid didn’t look like they were of very good quality.
He guessed at that time that his father must have a backup plan. As the saying goes: the most dangerous place is the safest place.
After thinking about it day and night, he realized that apart from home, the place his father most often stayed was the office of the No. 2 Food Factory in the city.
Fu Wenlei has been working in the factory for more than 20 years and is considered a veteran. He came here earlier than the current director Li.
When Fu Zhengze was a child, he often went to the factory office to find his father. The father and son played a small game of digging holes in the woods where the trees were still saplings.
After he went to school and learned to read, his father never played this game with him again.
It’s interesting to think about it now. Could there be something hidden under the trees in the grove?
In order to verify his idea, he asked Hu Ermao to take people to dig a hole under the ninth big tree in the grove near the office.
My thoughts were still racing when I was suddenly interrupted by someone's voice.
"Boss, I got it, there really is something."
It turned out to be Hu Ermao. He had a hat wrapped around his head with the string stuck at his chin, a big cotton-padded jacket on, and his lips were white from the cold.
He waited for the wind to die down a bit and then hurried over.
Fu Zhengze glanced at him sideways. The man had such a shifty look that it hurt his eyes.
"What are you yelling about? Show it to me."
Fu Zhengze walked quickly to Hu Ermao and stared at him fanatically.
"Boss, we really found it!"
Hu Ermao began to take off his clothes in front of him and took out a small box from his cotton jacket.
"Look, my brothers dug this up in the woods last night."
Hu Ermao handed the box to Fu Zhengze as if he were presenting a treasure. The mud on the box had been wiped clean.
Fu Zhengze snatched it away, took a look at the intact lock, and looked at Hu Ermao who was smiling flatteringly.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave."
Fu Zhengze took out two big unity notes from his trouser pocket and threw them to Hu Ermao, then turned and went to the inner room.
"Thank you, Boss."
Hu Ermao nodded and bowed, picked up the money on the ground, and his face changed the moment he walked out.
"Bah, what a joke! You don't recognize me after you've done what you did. Luckily I had a trick up my sleeve."
"Huh! What a horrible weather."
After saying that, he sneezed, felt a chill in his stomach, and wiped his nose carelessly.
A sinister look flashed across his face as he thought about the money he had just earned.
He hadn't visited his lover for a long time, and today he just happened to get some money, so he decided to go and relax.
…
Fu Zhengze locked the door and sat on the bed, staring at the locked small box with fanatical eyes. The wind was whistling outside.
After looking for a while, he took out a small key strung with a red rope, aimed it at the keyhole with trembling hands, and opened it with a click.
The things inside almost blinded Fu Zhengze.
Soon, the sound of rapid breathing was heard in the room.
…
The workers had to go to work early the next morning, and when I woke up this morning, the evil wind finally stopped.
"Mom, I'm going to work."
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan waved their hands and pushed their bicycles out.
"Hey, ride slower."
"Got it~"
Xie Da Jiao went to the factory after breakfast. After breakfast, Gao Xiulan took a broom and swept the steps.
The yard was a mess, mostly garbage and leaves blown in by the wind.
After sweeping, he took the bucket to the public water pipe at the entrance of the alley to get water. It took several buckets of water to clean the blue brick floor.
I looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock. I was going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables. It was so windy yesterday that I was trapped at home and all the fresh vegetables were eaten up.
"Xiu Lan, do you want to go shopping?"
Yu Afen and Yang Shujuan came to the door of Xie's house with baskets and things in their hands to call for help. Zhang Dazui from the west had gone out early in the morning.
"Come on, wait for me."
Gao Xiulan responded from the kitchen, carrying a bamboo basket. After locking the door, the three of them went out to buy groceries together.
"Shujuan, has your Xiaoyue's matter been resolved?"
"Not yet. Sister Qiaofeng said she hasn't found a suitable young man yet, so she'll try to find one for me."
"Your Xiaoyue has good qualities, so you must choose a partner carefully and not be careless!"
"That's the truth. Her father and I both think so. Even if the family is simple, the person must stand up for himself."
The three of them chatted as they walked.
…
Xiao Li was the first to arrive at the factory. After having breakfast in the cafeteria, he stretched alone in the woods.
Seeing the little tabby cat that it had met once before, the kitten buried its head in the pit and tried hard to dig something with its claws.
"Mimi, let me see what you are doing?"
Xiao Li tiptoed over, squatted down and took a look, and was shocked.
