The next day, Li Huai unusually slept in.
Zhao Qinglan knew that he had gone drinking with the old man last night, but she didn't expect him to drink so much.
Perhaps it was because he had been suppressing his feelings for so long and had no one to confide in, that he finally met a kind and tolerant elder like Grandpa Dou, so he couldn't help but say a lot more.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sorry for him.
Thinking that they might have to go to sweep her mother-in-law's grave soon, Zhao Qinglan first prepared her three children mentally.
"Mom has something to tell you now, so please listen carefully."
All three children nodded.
“Your father’s biological mother, who is also your biological grandmother, passed away a long time ago. We are going to visit her grave together.” This was mainly because she was afraid the children would be afraid of seeing a cemetery.
"The cemetery contains the loved ones that everyone cares about. Don't be afraid when you go there, just stay close to us."
Perhaps because they had not yet experienced the cruelty of life and death, the three children were only curious and not afraid at all.
"Does Grandma live in the cemetery?" Erwa asked.
"Yes, my dear grandmother has a little house there. Although we can't meet her, we can still remember her in our hearts."
As soon as Li Huai came out, he heard this sentence, and his expression immediately softened.
"Dad," the eldest child called out when he saw him.
"Get up. Are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Qinglan turned around and asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Li Huai smiled.
"I went out and bought some tofu and fried dough sticks. Have some first."
"OK."
Come to think of it, he also misses this taste.
After he finished breakfast, Zhao Qinglan asked him about it.
What do we do today?
"I'm going out to see Zhang Yu in a bit. You and the children can stay home or go out for a walk if you want. If you don't understand anything, just ask Grandpa Dou."
Zhao Qinglan also knew Li Huai's other destination on his way back to the capital, and nodded happily.
"Then you go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about us."
Li Huai left after a short while.
After going outside, he found a phone booth and called Zhang Yu. The two met at a teahouse.
"Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll play along," Zhang Yu said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.
Li Huai was quite shocked when he learned what Zhang Yu had found out.
Yu Huimin used to help people with small favors because of Li Zhenhua's relationship, but I never expected her to become even more outrageous later on.
No, it should be said that they had the audacity to dare to covet military supplies.
These days, there are many military factories, and almost everything needed by the military is provided by these factories.
Everyone generally knows that, regardless of the organization, positions in charge of logistics, warehousing, and procurement are usually highly sought-after.
Yu Huimin met the wife of a logistics director through playing mahjong.
That logistics director was already a bit shady.
After learning about some shady dealings, Yu Huimin approached the other party.
The other party was initially startled, thinking that Yu Huimin had come to cause trouble.
But Yu Huimin said that small-scale operations were not interesting and asked her to join in so that they could do something big.
Relying on her husband's influence, she secretly pulled strings at several points.
The two colluded and had already resold military supplies several times.
These days, everything is supplied by ration coupons, and there's a shortage of everything.
These military supplies were taken away under the guise of being worn out, but once outside, they were exchanged for a considerable amount of money.
Yu Huimin took the lion's share of the profits.
To be honest, Zhang Yu was also stunned by Yu Huimin's actions when he found out about these things.
You tell me, if this matter isn't exposed, all is well, but once it is, even someone in Li Zhenhua's position will be in deep trouble. How could she dare to do that?
Shocked, the two also deeply abhorred Huimin's parasitic behavior.
Even if it meant tripping up Yu Huimin, Li Huai didn't want himself or Zhang Yu to suffer any losses.
After a moment of thought, he asked, "You said you've figured out their reselling patterns?"
"Yes, I suspect that some of those people are connected to them. They always take action when it's the same group of people on duty."
"When will their next operation be?"
"It should be tonight."
"I understand. Give me the rest of what you found. I'm going to meet someone."
Zhang Yu took everything out and moved it in front of him.
Seeing Li Huai pick up his things and leave, Zhang Yu grabbed him and whispered, "You're not going to leave me behind and act alone, are you?"
Li Huai looked at him. "Brother, I'm already very grateful for your help. I'll take care of the rest."
"Can you do this alone?"
"You can manage, so don't worry and go back home. I'll contact you if you need any help."
In truth, he wasn't entirely confident; he only said that to put Zhang Yu at ease.
"Remember, contact me immediately if anything happens."
"knew."
After parting ways with Zhang Yu, Li Huai solemnly took the evidence and headed in another direction.
Zhang Yu's deduction was correct; Yu Huimin and the others were indeed going to make some moves tonight.
Moreover, since this is the last time before the Lunar New Year, the quantity is quite large.
Yu Huimin made an excuse to leave in the afternoon.
After Li Huai left, Zhao Qinglan consulted with the children and then took the three of them to Tiananmen Square.
I also visited the Forbidden City.
It has to be said that the tickets to the Forbidden City are now quite cheap.
Moreover, once inside, there are still many places that were closed to the public in later generations that can be visited today.
