Chapter 66 Selling Farm Tools Secretly
After scolding Han Jianwu, the man looked at Huo Qingqing and said, "Is this Jianwu's wife?"
Huo Qingqing smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary Wang, yes."
Secretary Wang said, "Go back and take good care of this kid. Tell him not to run into the gun muzzle again during this period." The man glanced at the people in the room with a sharp gaze and said, "It's the end of the year, the crackdown is strict, everyone should restrain themselves."
Huo Qingqing's attitude was better. She stood up and bowed to Secretary Wang, saying, "Please rest assured, I will teach him a lesson when I get back. I'll give you some more water."
Secretary Wang laughed a few times and said, "No more, I'm full." Then, he looked at Han Jianwu, pointed at him, and said, "You found a good wife but you don't know how to cherish her. If something really happens, have you ever thought about what will happen to the orphans and widows?"
Han Jianwu still said, yes, yes, it’s all my fault.
Huo Qingqing asked again, "Can this snack bar still be opened?"
Secretary Wang, “Yes, but don’t sell it too expensively, and don’t go against the state-owned canteens.”
In fact, there is only one big fair left this year, which is on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. But the overall situation this year is different. People are still very interested in shopping. There are stalls set up on the streets every day in the twelfth lunar month, and every day is extremely lively. In fact, snack bars can be open until the 27th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month.
After Secretary Wang left for a while, Gao Haijun came back carrying a snakeskin bag. As soon as he entered the room, he asked Han Jianwu, "Is this your wife?"
Han Jianwu looked his comrade up and down, "Are you okay?"
Gao Haijun, "What can happen to me? Is this your wife?" This guy has never let him see his wife, and it turns out she is a beauty!
Han Jianwu, "Of course she is my wife. Let me formally introduce you to Huo Qingqing, my wife. I don't need to introduce my second brother, Zi'an, right?"
"Get lost, it's already this late and you still don't seem to be doing anything."
Gao Haijun was carrying fabrics and wool that he had taken from their store for testing, as well as socks, gloves, scarves, hats and other items.
Gao Haijun said that these were defective products produced by a certain factory. The defective products that failed quality inspection were basically sold at low prices by the factory to people like them for consumption. The Quality Inspection Department took it for inspection and found that it was true.
"So, you're fine? This doesn't count as profiteering, right?" Huo Qingqing said.
Gao Haijun, "Of course not. Should I let your man open a store when I don't even have this much confidence?"
Han Jianwu kicked Gao Haijun and said, "Fuck you, if it was me who was taken away today, what would I do? Why didn't you tell me this in advance? And what the hell, your relative opened a family workshop? You even lied to me?"
Gao Haijun, "If you were taken away, I would definitely come to you to trouble you! If I didn't say that these were from the workshop run by my relative, would you believe me?"
Han Jianwu, "Nonsense, if you tell me the truth I will feel more confident, look at what you are thinking about all day long."
Huo Qingqing, "Okay, it's a good thing anyway, how about I make a bowl of rice for everyone and then we can go home today?"
Han Jianwu, "The ingredients in the store are sold out. There's nothing left."
Gao Haijun, "I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going back and will come back in a few days."
Han Jianwu, "Is our store still open?"
Gao Haijun glared and said, "Why not? Open it, open it every day, and see who dares to report me? I will replenish your goods when I come up in a few days. Shouldn't Boss Han pay me some money?"
Han Jianwu paid Gao Haijun. Huo Qingqing took out two hundred yuan and gave it to Gao Haijun. "Brother, you have a big business. It's the end of the year and you need money everywhere. Jianwu will lend you two hundred yuan to pay you back first."
It was already dark when Han Jianwu and Huo Qingqing returned home. The next day, the whole village was rumored to have been arrested for speculation.
As a result, Han Jianwu appeared in the village in a swagger, and everyone had to say that it was all a rumor.
Farm work in the team basically stopped at the end of the year because the ground was frozen and there was really no work to do. The educated youth have started to ask for leave and go back to the city to celebrate the New Year. Those who do not go home are also busy preparing New Year's goods, just like the villagers in their daily lives and New Year celebrations.
Han Jianwu goes to the commune every day to open a shop and sell meals, and his business is very good these days. Every day I go home and bring back some New Year’s goods needed for my family. The shop next door was still open as usual. Jiang Zian, a bachelor, simply lived in the shop and sold goods. When no one was around, he helped Han Jianwu wash vegetables and dishes. The two of them worked well together.
That day, the postman came to Hanjiagou with a letter from Huo Qingqing. It only had the recipient's address and name, but no sender's address. Huo Qingqing still opened the letter and read it. It turned out to be from Zhang Guohua. He said in his heart that he would find out who was the person who reported Huo Qingqing, the capitalist daughter, for being out of touch with the masses, not actively transforming herself through labor, and having promiscuous relationships with both men and women.
Zhang Guohua said it was Han Jianwu. He wrote a lot in the letter, implying that he could help Huo Qingqing get justice and revenge, and help her escape from suffering and return to the city.
Zhang Guohua said, "I didn't expect that all of this was a play directed and acted by Han Jianwu himself. It's all my fault that I didn't help you because I was too insignificant at the time."
Huo Qingqing knew who reported her, of course. It was in the previous life when the affair between Zhang Guohua and Gao Yunxia was exposed, Gao Yunxia stopped pretending and told her everything. It was Gao Yunxia who reported her. At that time, her parents had passed away one after another, and her brothers all had their own lives to live. In addition, they all disliked Zhang Guohua and even disliked her. Gao Yunxia knew that Huo Qingqing no longer had the ability to suppress her and Zhang Guohua, so she told her everything.
Zhang Guohua agreed with Huo Qingqing to meet at a certain time and place, and he would show her something.
Huo Qingqing threw the letter directly into the stove and burned it.
Zhang Guohua had already bought the train ticket and issued a note to return to the city, but as he couldn't wait for Huo Qingqing, he had no choice but to pack up and prepare to go home. He would think of a way to deal with Han Jianwu, the peasant, after the New Year. If Han Jianwu falls, Huo Qingqing will have no one to protect her. It would be strange if Hanjiagou and the Han family don't eat them all. At that time, she can only turn to him for help.
Just as Zhang Guohua was carrying his luggage and preparing to board the bus to the county railway station with several educated youth, several people in police uniforms appeared. Before he could react, he was handcuffed and taken away.
Things were often lost in the commune farm this year, including hoes and heads, but the most lost item was the plowshare, which is the most valuable and practical item. The farm couldn't find the thief, so they stopped investigating. However, once they relaxed, clues were soon revealed, and this time they caught the man directly.
During the Chinese New Year, several educated youth from the commune farm were arrested at once. I heard that they were stealing and selling the farm's farm tools, which is a serious crime. Once the news spread, everyone in the surrounding area knew about it.
The people in Hanjiagou soon learned that Zhang Guohua, who had left their brigade, had also been arrested, and the news was escalated.
Someone joked, "Will Huo Zhiqing use the money to redeem the person?"
