It was almost midnight when Xiao Jiahua returned to the cotton warehouse.
Tong Qifang heard the bicycle bell and immediately ran over. She was almost crying in anxiety.
"Xiaoxiao, what took you so long?" If she hadn't been guarding the cotton and had no help around, she would have chased to the suburbs long ago.
Xiao Jiahua comforted her: "Don't worry, I just came back because it was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. My car was tripped by a branch and I fell into the mud. So I went back to the guesthouse and changed clothes, which delayed me a little."
"Are you hurt?" Tong Qifang looked her up and down, feeling extremely distressed.
"No, I'm asleep."
Lu Da and Lu Er heard the noise and followed over.
Lu Da was very thoughtful. When he saw that Xiao Jiahua's clothes had indeed changed color, he let down his guard and asked, "Did you see Granny Jin? How is the situation going?"
Xiao Jiahua took out the receipt from his pocket and shook it. "This is a receipt for 100 yuan. There are purchase details on the back, all rice, flour, sugar and oil. There is also Grandma Jin's signature and handprint on the front. You can pick up the goods as soon as the train leaves."
"Give me the receipt quickly." Lu Da ordered.
Xiao Jiahua asked in return, "Where is our cotton? Has it all been loaded onto the trucks?"
Lu Er was dissatisfied: "Humph, you don't trust us brothers?"
Xiao Jiahua couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You two have already robbed me, how can I trust you?"
Tong Qifang hurriedly said, "Xiaoxiao, they have all been packed. I have checked every roll and every box. They are all standard Air Force One long-staple cotton, without any adulteration."
Xiao Jiahua then felt relieved and handed the certificate to Lu Da.
This was not the first time that Lu Da had done this. He was very familiar with Old Lady Jin's handwriting, so when he saw the fingerprints, he did not suspect anything.
"I'm warning you, you paid the money, we did it, and now we're done with it. If anyone reveals this in the future, we brothers will not forgive her."
After Lu Da threatened them, he ordered Lu Er and others to take out seals and stick them on the three military trucks.
The packing work is finally completed.
Lu Da ordered his brothers to call it a day, leaving only an inconspicuous team member to keep watch.
Tong Qifang was worried, and insisted on building a cave in the cotton warehouse to guard the cotton all day long.
Lu Er teased her, "You have a note, so why worry? This isn't the only deal we're making. Besides, there are only men here, and if someone gets into your bed in the middle of the night, we can't stop them."
A group of men started laughing.
Tong Qifang was both embarrassed and angry, but she still refused to give in.
While they were arguing, Xiao Jiahua quietly went behind the military card.
She pulled out three long strands of hair and carefully wrapped them around three sets of seals.
After making sure that the wind would not blow it away, she walked back and patted Tong Qifang on the shoulder.
"Sister Tong, it's getting late. We have to catch a train tomorrow. Let's go back to the guesthouse and rest first."
"Xiaoxiao, these cottons..."
"It won't be a problem. They are right. We still have two batches of goods to ship. If there is a problem with the cotton, the leaders of the Corps and the government will not forgive them."
These words were spoken to Tong Qifang and also to the Lu brothers.
If Lu Da and Lu Er got the upper hand, a dozen brothers would also get a share, so they were in a good mood and did not say anything back.
In this way, Tong Qifang and Xiao Jiahua returned to the guesthouse.
This farce tonight has finally come to an end.
.
On the last night in Ti County, Tong Qifang couldn't sleep all night, but Xiao Jiahua was very carefree and slept particularly soundly.
The next day, before dawn, Tong Qifang hurried to wake her up.
The two dragged their large and small luggage and said goodbye to the staff of the guesthouse one by one. After living there for so many days, they had become very familiar with the place.
They arrived at the cotton warehouse three hours in advance.
The three military trucks were still neatly parked at the door, their tires were not displaced and their seals were intact.
Tong Qifang breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Taichuan and the four regiments of soldiers rode bicycles each and rushed to the cotton warehouse in the autumn dew.
"Captain Jiang, why are you here too?" Xiao Jiahua asked in surprise.
