Wang Daniu ran back home, changed out of her wet pants, went to the kitchen to get something to eat, and decided she needed to feed herself before running away.
Not only did they eat and drink their fill, but they also secretly hid some cooked sweet potatoes, since they didn't have much money of their own and needed to bring some food with them.
Back inside, he packed up his clothes, then pulled a brick from the hole and took out a small handkerchief pouch containing twenty yuan and some grain coupons.
She carefully hid the handkerchief bundle on her body and went to Wang Gou Dan's room to ask her mother for some money. However, no one was home, so she searched around herself and found fifty yuan and some tickets. She kept the money without hesitation.
Wang Daniu was still quite sensible; she knew that everyone in the village was working on the construction site, and there was practically no one left in the village, not even the village committee.
She secretly went to the village committee, found a letter of introduction and an official seal in the village chief's drawer, stamped the letter of introduction more than a dozen times without thinking twice, then tore off the stamped letter of introduction and left, also taking a pen with her.
The whole village was quiet. No one expected Wang Daniu to run away so soon. Wang Gou Dan would never have imagined that Wang Daniu would be so bold. And so, Wang Daniu fled to the county overnight.
It was Wang Daniu's good luck that a train actually ran to Huacheng that night. There were more people going to Huacheng, so an extra train was added. Wang Daniu quickly took out her letter of introduction and money and bought a ticket.
She wanted to thank Bei Nan, because she wanted to marry him, so she had studied for a few years, and she could still write the words on the letter of introduction herself.
Sitting on the train, Wang Daniu was planning for her future, while Wang Gou Dan was so angry he almost had a stroke. The family's only retirement money had been stolen, leaving not a single penny. As for who stole it, was there even a need to ask?
The happiest person is Pan Gaozhi. It would be even more perfect if those two old bastards also got out of here, saving us the trouble of deciding who should cook first.
Another half month passed, and the dormitory and warehouse were completed. Xu Da looked at the sturdy building and was reluctant to go back. There were five rooms on the first floor, as well as four kitchens and two toilets.
There are eight rooms and two toilets on the second floor. Each room can accommodate at least eight people. Currently, the eighteen people occupy all eight rooms on the second floor. Even if another fifty people come, there will still be enough room for them.
Seeing his comrades with thick quilts, complete daily necessities, and plenty of rice on their beds, Xu Da felt relieved.
They've already spoken with the village chief. Starting next month, the village will provide rice, grain, and vegetables to the logging team. Of course, they'll have to pay in cash and with coupons; if they don't have coupons, they'll have to pay more.
Village Chief Ma readily agreed, but he could only guarantee coarse grains and vegetables. As for meat, he couldn't do anything about it. Of course, if they could hunt wild boar or something, they could sell it to the village.
In mid-March, the trucks finally arrived. Ye Huili had managed to get two Yellow River heavy trucks through layers of connections, leaving Bei Nan completely in awe. That's real skill, that's real experience.
The driver from the furniture factory's security department also arrived. Ma Mingchun learned to drive a truck within a month. The two of them followed Bei Nan and Xin Nan to *City and drove the two trucks back to Mushroom Village.
When the brand-new truck drove into Mushroom Village and onto the warehouse at the back of the mountain, the villagers curiously followed behind the truck, especially the children, who cheered incessantly.
Wu Jinban and Duoduo, who had just been brought back to Mushroom Village by Ma Minghua, were the most proud. Led by Southwest, the two of them got into the car and drove around Mushroom Village, making the other children drool with envy.
Ma Minghua, Ma's wife, and Village Chief Ma also got on the truck to experience what it was like to sit in a truck. Ma's wife and Minghua were still a little scared, wondering why the truck was so high.
Southwest asked Ma Dasao to organize people to prepare ingredients so that they could have a start-up meal before work began. Ma Dasao readily agreed. Once the meal was eaten, the logging team would officially start work, and Ma Mingchun would become a formal driver at the furniture factory.
On the day of the first meal after work, Bei Nan invited a guest, who was the leader of the train freight department that Ye Huiguo had contacted. He saw the warehouse and trucks, the towering mushroom-shaped hill and the lush trees, and his heart was at ease.
It's important to understand that commercial rail transport is still in its infancy, and they've all seen the huge profits it brings. If this transport partnership with Mushroom Village can be established long-term, it would be very beneficial for them as well.
After dinner, he started discussing the contract signing with Southwest and North. North was familiar with this, so they could negotiate a very low price. The train manager carefully calculated the profit several times and found it was still within their set range, so he signed the contract without hesitation.
The roar of chainsaws signaled the official start of the logging operation, and the falling of trees stirred the hearts of people in the north, south, and southwest, as well as Xu Da.
Southwest and Xu Da are special cases. They are veterans of the furniture factory and organizers of the logging team. Their future paths will be tied to the furniture factory, and they will live and die with it.
Bei Nan and Xu Da left, taking the old bachelor and Ma Mingchun's employment reports back to the capital. From then on, the Beijing furniture factory not only had a logging team, but also a driver and a forest clearing team leader.
No one was particularly envious of Ma Mingchun, after all, he was the village chief's son. They were extremely envious and jealous of the old bachelor. Everyone knew that as long as the old bachelor worked hard, he would receive social security benefits when he reached retirement age.
The old bachelor was extremely pleased with himself. He loved seeing how jealous people were of him, yet helpless against him.
Back in Beijing, Bei Nan and Xu Da parted ways. Xu Da was concerned about the furniture factory, while Bei Nan was concerned about the land. He had Mao Tou wire money over early in the morning. Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the courtyard house in Beijing, his grandmother told him that there was a letter in his room.
Bei Nan was too tired to talk on the train, and Nan Nan went to school. So Bei Nan took a shower and went back to her room to sleep soundly.
When Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang returned that evening, they learned that Bei Nan had come back. Bei Nan told them that he would have to go back to Vancouver in half a month, so he would have to book his plane ticket after withdrawing the money the next day.
Cuihua's eyes reddened again. Why is she leaving after only a few months back?
Bei Nan quickly comforted her, "Mom, Mom, why aren't you crying? I also need to keep an eye on my business over there. I can't just leave everything to Mao Tou. Also, once Nan Nan's situation is settled, I can get a work visa, which will make it easier for me to travel back and forth in the future."
Cuihua didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop her from being sad. In Cuihua's heart, Bei Nan wasn't married yet, so of course he should live with her.
"Bei Nan, you're not young anymore, do you have a girl you like?" Cuihua asked.
Bei Nan shook her head, but the image of Shen Shaohua's mischievous yet serious demeanor appeared in her mind.
