Sitting in the car, Li Xu suddenly thought of Ding Dawei's family.
If his family had not helped them a few days ago, and someone in his family couldn't hold on and died in the past few days, would he regret causing his family to starve to death for his mother?
Li Xu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Then he asked this question again to Liu Gang, hoping to get an answer from him.
After hearing the question, Liu Gang lit a cigarette and said with a sigh, "There's no such thing as regret in this kind of thing. Just like those people who died last night, do you think they regretted going to the black market? They're dead now, so there's no point in regretting it. Survival is everything."
After he finished speaking, he took two more deep puffs of his cigarette, then reached out and slapped Li Xu on the head. "I think you're just too full and have been thinking about this. Look at those hungry people, who has the time to think about this? Eat less at noon from now on, and give me the extra food, so you don't have to think about this all day long."
Li Xu initially thought his answer made sense and he was quite touched by it.
Unexpectedly, he was slapped to death. Li Xu touched the place where he was slapped and looked at him speechlessly. "You said a lot of things, and the last sentence was your purpose, right?"
Liu Gang grinned, then patted Li Xu's shoulder. "I brought my own food, why should I eat yours? I just wanted to interrupt your train of thought. This kind of question is not suitable for overthinking. You know that overthinking is detrimental to your mind. You are still young, and overthinking can easily harm your body."
"Oh, you know this?" Li Xu looked at him in surprise.
I didn't expect that someone who looks big and strong could actually say the word "thinking too much and getting upset".
"Who are you looking down on?"
Liu Gang glared at him unhappily, feeling as if he had been insulted.
"Uncle Liu, tell me quickly, how did you know this word?"
Liu Gang didn't say anything at first, but he couldn't stand Li Xu's constant questioning.
Finally, after a long pause, he said, "I heard that when I went to see Doctor Zhou in the county, he was saying this to someone else, and I wrote it down."
"Um?"
Li Xu was stunned. After thinking about it, he felt that the matter was not that simple. He should just state the reason directly. Why hesitate?
"Uncle Liu, what disease do you treat?"
At this moment, Liu Gang refused to say anything.
But Li Xu's eyes began to look at him strangely.
Liu Gang was almost unable to hold back his excitement, but fortunately Li Xu knew how to read people's expressions. Seeing that he was about to take action, he quickly changed the subject and successfully escaped.
Afterwards, Li Xu thought that Liu Gang was right. He was just too full and that was why he was imagining things. So he decided to eat less at noon that day...
In the evening, when Li Xu came back from Du Hong's house, he heard Sun Xiu and others say that Ding Dawei and his wife had returned all the borrowed grain.
Li Xu was also stunned when he heard the news. "Why are Uncle Ding and the others in such a hurry? Why don't they recuperate first? It will be the same if they return it later."
"We tried to persuade them in the same way, but they said that their elderly father had passed away and that they had just received the food this month, which was enough for their family to eat. They would only feel at ease if the food was returned as soon as possible." Sun Xiu had a helpless expression on her face.
Hu Guilan, standing nearby, chimed in, "Not only did they return the grain, but it was all fine grain. Nothing we said was effective. Finally, Uncle Ding and his wife got so angry that they said if we didn't accept it, they'd send it every day until we did. Finally, with no other options left, Dad agreed to accept it."
"Uncle Ding and his family are honest and kind people." Li Xu smacked his lips and then asked, "Now that Mrs. Ding is gone, how are they doing?"
Li Jiakang responded, "They're in pretty bad shape. Their eyes are swollen and bloodshot, and their voices are raspy. Your Aunt Ding's hair is a mess, and she looks several years older. But it shouldn't be a big deal. At least they can cry. If they really hold it in, that would be fatal."
When he said this, he couldn't help but look at his three rebellious sons, wondering if they would cry like this when he died in the future.
Li Xu nodded in agreement.
When you are sad, just cry. Otherwise, if you keep it in your heart, sooner or later something bad will happen.
We chatted for a while before going back to our rooms to rest.
A few more days passed.
The motorcade received a mission that day, and everyone's faces became serious.
The task was simple. It was just like before, transporting goods to other places, and the time was still the same, only four days.
The only problem is that it is too dangerous to spend the night outside at this time. You must be extremely careful, otherwise you will really lose your life.
After receiving the task, the motorcade held a small meeting to discuss the response policy.
In the past, night shifts were divided into two shifts, with one person at the beginning and one at the end. Now it has been changed to two people at the beginning and two people at the end.
Moreover, Li Xu and the other two must be led by their respective masters, and are not allowed to form a team with each other.
When they said this, they took a special look at Xiao Jianping.
Xiao Jianping was so aggrieved that he almost cried. He knew that he had made mistakes when he first joined the company last year, which made these senior masters worried.
But he felt that his performance since then had been very good and he was very serious on night duty. He didn't understand why they were targeting him again.
Li Xu understood that there was no room for error in night duty nowadays.
But Xiao Jianping had experienced precedents before. No matter how well he performed this year, others could not really trust him at such a critical moment.
And this is not a deliberate targeting of him, but it is possible that they will really shoot people at that time, and the masters are also afraid that the three of them will get together and have no experience and dare not attack anyone.
You have to know that over the past year or so, Li Xu and his two companions have encountered people with bad intentions several times while on night duty, but they only needed to fire a single shot to scare away the enemy and have never really taken any ruthless action.
But it’s different for the old masters. They have a lot of experience and are willing to take action at critical moments, so they must be the ones to lead.
After the meeting, Li Xu and Su Weidong also advised Xiao Jianping a few words.
Xiao Jianping also knew that this matter was quite serious and any negligence could put his life in danger. Moreover, he had made mistakes before, so he quickly returned to normal.
Li Xu, who had returned to the car, said, "Fortunately, this time it didn't take long, otherwise everyone would have been in real trouble."
There are not many people in the motorcade, and now eight people are needed to be on duty every night. Even if they sleep, they will definitely not be able to sleep well. They have to get up immediately when they hear gunshots.
Even when they are full, it is a huge test for their bodies, let alone they are not full now. If it lasts a little longer, they will definitely not be able to bear it.
