Xia Youyou didn't know what he was thinking, and now she just wanted to find Cao An.
"Where did my brother go today?"
"I don't know. He hasn't been going to a fixed place these days. I think you should wait at home, lest he comes back and you leave again, and miss him."
It was the only way, Xia Youyou left the Public Security Bureau and returned to the scrap yard. When Cao An came back, it was already time to get off work.
Xia Youyou was sitting at the door bored. When she saw a familiar figure finally appear at the entrance of the alley, she hurried over.
"elder brother!"
"Don't run, be careful not to fall!" Cao An quickly stepped forward to support her. "Why are you still so reckless!"
"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"What happened?"
Xia Youyou pulled him into the house and told him what happened in the morning.
"Brother, how much did Yan Er see?"
"I guess you only saw someone moving something from your place, but you don't know what they moved."
"Why are you so sure?" Xia Youyou was puzzled.
"If I had known, I would have arrested you long ago!" Cao An knocked her head. "How can you be so stupid!"
"You'll only become more stupid if you keep knocking!" Xia Youyou pouted and bared her teeth, wanting to bite him.
"Let's go, lock the door and go home. I'm hungry!"
Xia Youyou laughed angrily, "You just think you're hungry. I've been worried about you all day."
"So what if you're worried? If someone catches you, is there any reason for you to worry?" Cao An looked at her. She was cute when she was smart, so why was she still so cute when she was stupid?
After hearing his analysis, Xia Youyou was no longer worried. She could put the black market issue aside for the next few days. If it still wasn't safe after a week, she would have to give up this way of making money.
Xia Youyou has been living in fear these past few days, always worried that the red armbands would find evidence to arrest her.
But on this day, I suddenly bought some high-quality ebony wood from an old man selling wood.
The old man dug it up from the mountain. He didn't know who had buried it there, and it was almost rotting. Xia Youyou felt a little sorry and spent ten yuan to buy the wood.
Looking at the wood on the ground, Xia Youyou was overwhelmed. She quickly took out the insect repellent, removed the insects from the rotten wood, and applied a layer of tung oil to prevent it from rotting again.
It’s not that they have no value, but they are more in number.
A week later, Liu Chao was also observing secretly. Seeing that the time had come, he immediately came over to carry food.
Xia Youyou was a little worried. "Be careful when you leave. If you find something wrong, just run away. The loss will be on me. Safety first, okay?"
"good!"
After watching them leave the scrap yard, Xia Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that everything would go well.
As winter turns to spring, Cao An's greenhouse vegetables are growing well. As temperatures rise, the vegetables preserve better. The supply and marketing cooperative already placed an order with him, and now they just wait for the harvest.
Xia Youyou was a little anxious because of Yan Er. She was afraid that she would not be able to collect the grain in time and would be caught by the red armbands, and that Cao An would be implicated.
Cao An knew what she was worried about and decided to take her out for a walk. Spring had just arrived, so it was time to go out for a walk.
Sitting on the back of Cao An's bicycle, Xia Youyou smelled the fragrance of the earth in the air and the various wild flowers emerging from the ground. Her mood improved after a long time.
"Brother will be going to Beijing in a few days."
"Huh? What are you going to Beijing for?" Xia Youyou was confused. Why would she go to Beijing for any good reason? She had thought about going before, but after meeting Cao An, she felt like she was at home here, so she didn't have that idea anymore.
"The higher-ups asked me to go and make the report in person. There's also news about the rice issue. I've already secretly sent a letter."
"Really?" Xia Youyou was very excited. If this thing succeeded, more people would be able to eat. "I want to go too!"
Cao An slammed on the brakes and said, "No."
"Why? I want to play with you."
"Am I going there for fun? I'm here for serious business. If you follow me, where will you stay? Who will give you a letter of introduction?" He got back on the pedals and continued riding forward.
"I have a letter of introduction." The blank letter of introduction that Uncle Wang Cheng gave him last time was useless, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Cao An had to admit that Wang Cheng was really foresighted and really loved this little girl.
"Okay, let's go." She has been feeling depressed these past few days, so it would be a good idea to take her out to relax.
On the second day of the second lunar month, the Dragon Raises its Head, Cao An and Xia Youyou boarded the train to Beijing. Worried that Xia Youyou might get carsick, they didn't choose the more convenient shuttle bus. But judging by her cheerful expression, it was clear she preferred the train.
Because it was a short trip, the two chose hard seats. Xia Youyou sat by the window, watching the rapidly receding scenery with a look of curiosity on her face. Across from her sat a girl in a green military uniform and pigtails. Seeing Xia Youyou's rustic look, she snorted with disdain.
Xia Youyou didn't hear, only looking outside. She'd walked here from the Red Flag Brigade on her own, and even at the base, she'd never been outside, let alone taken a car. Everything was new to her now. Isn't "country bumpkin" a perfect description? And now that everything was reviving, there were plenty of flowers on the mountain and along the roadside. She couldn't wait to poke her head out.
Cao An glanced at the girl opposite him. His eyes were cold, and the girl was stunned.
Seeing his fierce expression, she lowered her head and stopped looking at the two people opposite. She muttered to herself, "One of them is fierce, the other is petite. Are they kidnapped?" "Hmph, what's the point of being pretty? You'll still be kidnapped and taken to the mountains." She admitted that she envied the girl's beauty. Especially the red mole on her forehead, which made her look even more beautiful and charming.
Xia Youyou pulled Cao An's sleeve. "Brother, what are those flowers on the roadside?"
"It's either peach blossoms or pear blossoms." She dodged so quickly that he didn't see what she was referring to. But those were the only two flowers out there.
"Does it smell good?"
"Tsk! Bumpkin."
The two of them looked across at each other. Xia Youyou was a little confused. Why did this girl look so hostile the moment she got in the car? It seemed like they had never spoken to each other.
"Why did you call me a bumpkin?"
"Did I talk to you? How do you know I was scolding you?" The girl looked disdainful, curled her lips and looked out the window, not intending to pay any more attention to the two of them.
"Please don't insult your uniform before you speak."
Cao An was wearing plain clothes today, not a police uniform, so he looked even more menacing. His eyes, glaring at the girl across from him, seemed to be spitting fire. Sure enough, human evil comes out of nowhere. He can hurl at someone he doesn't even know.
The girl was anxious. She was not a soldier, but it was just a trend now, so she bought a set and put it on like she was a soldier. Who knew that this man's words would hit the point of her inferiority complex.
"What are you talking about? I didn't say anything about you. How did I insult this uniform?"
"Did we mention you? Don't take it personally."
Xia Youyou watched Cao An's rare quarrel with others and looked at him curiously. What a quarrel! It was fun!
