197 You are Teacher Cao, not Cao Banxian
At this time, most of the public security forces should be "suppressing bandits" in the mountains. Even if some escaped, they would not deliberately find the air-raid shelter.
Besides, there are people guarding Li Guobang inside.
After Fu Yuanhang and Mumu went out, Su Taotao took them home directly.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The sound of gunfire from Green Moon Valley finally alarmed the villagers of Qinglian Village.
The villagers who were enjoying the cool air under the banyan tree after dinner were the main information transfer stations. They were the first to discover the situation:
"What's going on? Why are there firecrackers during a festival? And it seems to be coming from the mountain."
"Could it be that someone is blasting rocks? Didn't the neighboring village apply for permission to blast a large rock when they were laying the foundation for a primary school?"
"If they were going to blast, they would have done it in broad daylight. Who would have nothing better to do when they are full and go up the mountain to blast rocks in the middle of the night? And it doesn't sound like an explosion to me."
A member of the community said weakly, "It sounds like a wood blast."
"What? Wood blast?"
As soon as this was said, everyone stood up in fear and looked in the direction of Green Moon Valley.
But apart from the intermittent sounds that seemed to be wood blasting, there was nothing to see.
As a result, Su Taotao and the others did not attract attention when they passed by, otherwise someone would definitely notice that "Mumu's father" was missing and would ask questions.
Su Taotao's family is old and young, and it is already the limit for her to help here.
When they walked to the alley, a tall and straight figure flashed out from inside, which scared Su Taotao.
"Excuse me for a moment."
It was Cao Guohua.
"Teacher Cao." Fu Yuanhang nodded and greeted him.
Su Taotao patted his head gently: "You and Mumu go back first, I will talk to Teacher Cao for a few words."
Everyone tonight gathered at the banyan tree to inquire about the news, and no one would pay attention to this place.
After Fu Yuanhang and Mumu left, Su Taotao followed Cao Guohua to the back of the cowshed.
The two of them were one in front and one behind, always keeping a distance of more than one meter.
"What's going on over there?"
Su Taotao understood the question, which was incoherent.
If she guessed correctly, he should have been protecting Zhou Linglan and keeping an eye on their movements.
Cao Guohua was one of his own people, so Su Taotao did not hide it:
"Xiaohang and Mumu, the boy with Xiaohang, accidentally saved a police officer from the Municipal Bureau. I don't know what case they were dealing with, so I just ran errands and called the Municipal Bureau.
Now it should be a joint operation between the Municipal Bureau and the police stations in various counties to suppress bandits."
It should be a joint operation to suppress bandits, Su Taotao thought.
Cao Guohua nodded, thought for a while, and asked after a while: "When are you leaving?"
Su Taotao: "The train at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Cao Guohua asked again: "Is Zhengtu's mother still unwilling to leave?"
Refused? Su Taotao raised her eyebrows and looked at Cao Guohua.
Cao Guohua's eyes were open, and he said without hesitation: "She stayed here because of me, and I stayed here because of her, but the relationship between us is not what the world defines.
Your father-in-law and I are close friends who have been through thick and thin together. I am responsible for your father-in-law's sacrifice, and I will feel guilty for this for the rest of my life. It is my unshirkable responsibility to protect her.
She also thought that I was sent down and trapped here, but in fact the organization has cleared my name, and I can apply to leave at any time."
Cao Guohua didn't know why he talked so much to Su Taotao, or why he had been trapped here for too long and hadn't spoken his mind to anyone for too long.
Su Taotao had no position to discuss or judge the past between the elders, and just listened quietly.
Cao Guohua added, "I knew her earlier than your father-in-law, and I also fell in love with her earlier than your father-in-law, but because of some things, she was framed and later rescued by your father-in-law. They loved each other and their love was stronger than gold.
After she married your father-in-law, I didn't even talk to her. Even now, I still haven't talked to her, and I may not talk to her in the future."
Su Taotao opened her mouth, really not knowing what to say. If she didn't talk, what was the point of having a mouth? I haven't seen you eat more than others.
"Do you remember the two hundred yuan I borrowed from your father?" Cao Guohua asked.
"Remember." You paid me back two hundred and fifty. If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would have thought you were scolding me in a roundabout way, Su Taotao thought.
"When she was in the most difficult time, I wanted to collect some money for her, but she refused to take it. She just couldn't find a chance to return it to your father. In fact, she even saved the pension issued by the army. Maybe she wanted to leave it for Ah Hang in the future."
Su Taotao wanted to ask, why do you know so much about our family affairs? Even she doesn't know!
"Persuade her to leave." Cao Guohua suddenly changed the subject.
Su Taotao said: "She has her own plan. She said she will leave at the end of the year."
"At the end of the year..." Cao Guohua pursed his lips and closed his eyes. It is unknown what he was thinking.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Okay, we have to tell the police not to come to our house to give us a commendation."
Su Taotao nodded, "I've already told them that they won't come with a big fanfare."
Cao Guohua nodded, "You go back first, I'll go and see what's going on. Are the injured hiding in the air-raid shelter?"
Su Taotao: "..." You are Teacher Cao, not Cao Banxian, why do you know everything? !
"Yes." Su Taotao was too lazy to even ask why.
Cao Guohua said, "You go back first, I'll go check. Remember, no matter what happens at night, don't go out and don't open the door even if you knock."
Su Taotao nodded, "I know, you should be careful too."
Cao Guohua nodded, "Even after retiring, I still have the blood of a soldier in my veins."
...
When she got home, she told Zhou Linglan the first thing, "Mom, we have to leave early tomorrow morning. You should be careful at home alone. No matter who asks about what happened tonight, just say you don't know. You
don't need any praise or thanks. If someone asks about Mumu Daddy, just say it's his godfather."
How could Zhou Linglan be a dull person who could raise children like Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang?
She understood what was going on as soon as she heard it and nodded: "I know how to do it, don't worry."
Su Taotao hugged her: "In fact, we all hope that you will go with us tomorrow." Zhou
Linglan patted her arm: "I will definitely go there by the end of the year."
...
The heroic act has come to an end for the time being, but there are many things to do at home. Su Taotao and her family will leave tomorrow, and there are many things to pack.
The trouble is that there is no direct train to the base in the county, and they have to go to the city to transfer.
Su Taotao is alone with two half-grown children and a little kid, so it is best to simplify the things she brings.
But there are so many good things at home, all kinds of wild dried goods, pickles and salted vegetables are Su Taotao's favorite.
She wanted to pack them all up and take them away.
"How about this, I'll mail you these dried goods and things you don't need for the time being, and you can just take the things that are not easy to mail." Zhou Linglan said.
Su Taotao thought about it and it was true. There were several high school textbooks for Fu Zhengtu alone. It would be tiring for her to carry them all.
"Okay."
Su Taotao picked out the things that could be mailed, and the package instantly became much lighter.
The children's things had been packed up long ago, and now they were surrounding the field snails and stone snails, and they began to drool when they thought of the taste of them stir-fried with sour bamboo shoots.
"Sister Taozi, can this be taken away?" Mumu asked.
Su Taotao said, "You can't take it with you. If you want to eat it, I'll get up early tomorrow morning and fry a pot of it. You can eat it before you leave." Zhou
Linglan said, "I'll cook a pot of porridge to go with it, and make some pancakes. You can eat until you're full before you catch the car. By the way, if you use the production team's tractor, you have to tell Uncle Niu in advance."
The three children were so happy that they kept spinning in circles.
Su Taotao said, "I told him when I came back and paid for it. He will apply to the team."
Su Taotao was always thorough in her work, so Zhou Linglan was relieved.
Su Taotao felt that tonight would be uneasy. She told the children to take a bath and go to bed quickly, and she also went to bed quickly while the weather was calm.
In the quiet night, there was an occasional sound of wood rustling from the other side of the mountain. The insects and frogs in the field seemed to feel the danger and dared not make a sound. Su Taotao, who was born in a peaceful era, did not sleep well that night.
After sleeping for a few hours, there was a knocking sound at her window. Su Taotao suddenly opened her eyes, got up and walked to the window, and asked in a low voice: "Who?"
...
9.3 update is completed, good night.
