Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Hong Guo grabbed her collar and her fingers...
The little guy was very happy today, he made two new friends and they could talk to each other. No one called him a scary kid just because he was smart and powerful. His older brothers and sisters looked at him with admiration, so he had to help them solve their troubles, and luckily he succeeded.
Mom and Dad said they were going to dig coal to make a lot of money and leave here. They asked him if he was reluctant to leave his friends here. The little boy was a little reluctant, but he could still make friends over there.
Besides, the ones who were close to him were the same age. They were so stupid that they couldn't speak clearly all day. Wouldn't they be sad for long after he left? Those who could speak clearly were much older than him. As long as there were people to play with, they wouldn't play with him. So, it was fun to go digging coal.
After taking a nice bath, he took out all his gold, silver and treasures, placed them on the quilt and counted them again one by one. Although he had given away two, he still had one, two, three, four... more than a dozen, including gold and jade. He was very happy.
Then, the transparent little fish swam out, opening and closing its mouth, playing with the jade in its mouth, but all of a sudden, it swallowed the largest gold lock.
This gold lock is very big. It was given by Uncle Shi. He was reluctant to give it to his brothers and sisters, so it was swallowed by the little stinky fish.
The little one grabbed the fish's tail and dug in its belly with his little fist: "Spit out my gold."
The golden dragon suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit his head. The little guy was knocked off balance and tickled the fish that had swelled several times its size: "Good boy, you like to eat gold, so these are all yours."
The golden dragon spat out the half-swallowed little thing, and disappeared with a flick of its tail. The little thing grumbled angrily, "Stinky fish, when I grow up, I'll beat your head."
Hong Guo was getting ready to go to bed, but when she heard Xiao Bu Dian still mumbling in her room, she pushed Gu Chang Zong and asked him to let her go: "I'll go check on Xiao Bu Dian."
Gu Changzong didn't even loosen his arm, but gently bit her lip and said he heard it clearly, she was talking to his fish.
He seemed to have just remembered that the demigods in the past could always suddenly produce things, and after collecting the things they would suddenly disappear. It might be that there was some space where they were stored. Now that he thought about it, the demigods did not have such ability. It was the ability of the Golden Dragon. The one who could swallow and spit out things had always been the Golden Dragon.
So that's how it is. Hong Guo smiled and said, "Then we won't have to pack so much when we move."
Without waiting for Changzong to express his opinion, Hongguo laughed at herself: "This is not good, let's just pretend we don't know Diandian's little secret."
Gu Changzong didn't think so: "Guoguo, just think of it as accidentally discovering his little secret, and then every time you go out, you don't have to worry about where to put your valuables."
Hongguo's eyes lit up. That's right. If everyone is willing to share, it would be so comfortable when you go out.
In the past two days, Hongguo "accidentally" discovered Diandian's little secret. Diandian then realized that the gold was not eaten but put away. She happily kissed the fish that grew a lot bigger, and became good friends with Jinjiao. She also said that she would help her mother put the gold in when she moved.
Lao Jiao called and said that Director Wei had arrived and booked Professor Cheng's family hotel.
"There were five adults and two children in the group. They invited me to have dinner with them. Yu Shan also came, but he ran away after dinner. He never stayed at Professor Cheng's place, and he was always elusive."
After explaining the basic situation, Lao Jiao said worriedly, "Then they went to the mine cave that we had just sealed off. Guizhi didn't dare to get too close to them, saying that two of them were as good as her. I thought about your advice and told Guizhi to leave it alone."
Where to go to the mine? That is to go through the passage, to the mine tomb of Xu Wenying's family, and see the memories of those fellow villagers.
Hongguo told Lao Jiao not to worry about Director Wei's affairs, as it would not cause any more trouble. After chatting for a few words, Hongguo hung up the phone. Until Yancheng was notified that the mining license had been processed and urged the people to go over to handle the follow-up procedures, Hongguo did not receive a call from Director Wei.
Maybe Director Wei knew that Lao Jiao would definitely tell her, or maybe there was someone supervising Director Wei. He couldn't say. In any case, Hong Guo didn't feel guilty. Director Wei didn't tell her when there were things, and there was no need to report all her affairs to Director Wei. This was good enough.
…
There will definitely be conflicts in the early stages of coal mining in Yancheng, so Hongguo asked Changzong to take Lao Zheng with him. If any problems arise, each of them can handle one side, and the two of them can look after each other.
They were busy until August, when Changzong said she could go over and would come to pick her up in a few days.
This time it was like moving house again. Fortunately, what was at home was the transport truck. As for the house, Hongguo rented it to Grandma Kong and her family again, also at a rent of five yuan a month.
Grandma Kong said: "Now this house costs more than ten yuan a month to rent, you don't have to."
Hong Guo said, "I know, but I am happy to do it. Grandma Kong, I don't know how many years it will take for me to come back. Can't you say something nice to me?"
Grandma Kong's eyes were moist as she peeled the tea eggs she brought for Diandian and said, "Let me know the day you leave and I'll cook a pot of tea eggs for you to take with you."
Hong Guo smiled and said, "That's great. I didn't mean to say that."
I will be far away from the provincial capital in the future, and it will be impossible for me to come back every year to celebrate the New Year for these unfamiliar relatives. So before I leave, I have to go and say hello to my grandfather and second uncle.
Hongguo took Diandian over for a meal and told him about the mine in Yancheng: "Changzong said everything is ready. When I get there, we will start digging the first truckload of coal."
My second aunt was happy for them. For outsiders to gain a foothold in the local area and open a mine, it is not enough to have connections, but they must have their own abilities.
Through what happened in Yushan last time, my second uncle knew that Hongguo and Changzong no longer needed help from their family.
But some things are beyond human control. He reminded Hongguo: "Safety in production is of utmost importance. You and Changzong know this well. Second uncle still has to say a few words. You must be careful and safe."
Hongguo agreed. After lunch, she took Diandian home, but saw Dazhu from Hehua's family waiting for her at the door.
The tall boy looked miserable and helpless.
Dazhu, the daughter of Aunt Hehua, was admitted to the provincial university last year. He has been working and studying here during the winter and summer vacations, and has never troubled Hongguo. He must have encountered something that he couldn't solve when he came here today.
At the beginning of summer vacation, Hongguo called back home and Aunt Hehua gave her the good news, saying that Dazhu's sister was admitted to the normal school in the provincial capital. Dazhu worked during the summer vacation to earn his own tuition and his sister's living expenses for the first year. Aunt Hehua was so proud and hoped that nothing would go wrong.
Hongguo opened the door and led the man into the house, asking him if he had eaten. Dazhu shook his head, so Hongguo lit a fire and cooked noodles for him so that he could eat something hot first.
After the bowl of noodles was in his hand, he asked, "Dazhu, you have encountered a problem, right? Now that you are here, just tell us. Only when you explain clearly, we will know what to do."
Dazhu choked up after taking a bite and said that he had worked in the restaurant during the winter vacation. In order to earn more money, he did not go back home for the New Year. He worked for a month and a half during the summer vacation. He wanted to earn some money and go back to his hometown to live for half a month, and then bring his sister back to report.
The plan was very good. He calculated that he would have enough money for the winter and summer vacations. Just as he was looking forward to it, a table of guests in the restaurant caused trouble and the proprietress asked him to go and solve it. He apologized, but was not only scolded by the guests, but the guests also overturned the table and did not pay. The proprietress determined that it was Dazhu's responsibility and asked him to pay for the cigarettes, alcohol and food for that table, as well as the damaged chairs and benches, and the repairs to the damage in the private room, a total of more than 600 yuan.
The police were called at the time, but the guests at that table were important people, so the police station suggested a settlement. The proprietress did not dare to offend them, so she asked Dazhu to pay the compensation.
Dazhu finished a bowl of noodles, wiped his eyes, and said firmly: "I know I am taking advantage of you, but I am just a poor student and I can't beat anyone. Sister Hongguo, I want to borrow 600 yuan from you to pay back the money. It's not that I'm a coward, but I don't want to delay my studies because of something I can't do anything about at the moment. It is very important for me to graduate successfully. I promise that I will pay it back within three years."
Hongguo understood his decision not to tell his family. When Aunt Hehua found out, she could only worry helplessly and was unable to help.
She could lend 600 yuan, but Hongguo wanted to get things straight. She took the money and said to Dazhu, "Something is not right. The kitchen staff, the boss himself, and the experienced waiters are more suitable to handle this than you, a summer intern. It's really suspicious to ask you to go. Since you know where the customer is and have apologized in person, let's go to the customer's house and have a chat first."
Dazhu didn't expect Hongguo to be willing to take care of this matter. He was surprised and happy.
Diandian also wants to go. I still remember this big brother. He was so honest. Last year, when his mother brought out the candies, he only chose the cheapest ones to eat.
Diandian ran to get his favorite candy, picked it up and put it in Dazhu's mouth, and patted his knees to comfort him: "Brother, don't be sad, quietly and slowly become stronger, and then beat up the bad guys who bullied you, and you will be happy."
Dazhu's mood improved and gradually stabilized.
Hongguo accompanied Dazhu to the home of the customer who overturned the table and apologized, saying that his child was just a summer intern and lacked experience, and that the customer had been wronged by having a meal.
Hong Guo said, "Think about it. The restaurant served the dishes and the kitchen staff prepared them according to the order. The waiter didn't know which table the dishes were for until he told them. The kitchen staff refused to admit that they were wrong, so the poor child had to take the blame. I'll come over and explain for the child. We'll pay the 650 yuan, and you can use it to compensate the restaurant. From now on, any disputes between us and the restaurant will not involve you."
This is what happened. After the guests calmed down, they really couldn't blame the young man who had been trying to stop the fight. He was not the one who added fuel to the fire. Hong Guo spoke very politely and took the initiative to give them the compensation money.
The customer was puzzled and asked why the money was transferred in this way: "Why don't you just compensate the hotel directly?"
Hong Guo said: "I find this very strange. It seems like they are targeting our children. In the end, the two sides started fighting. I don't want to implicate you."
The guest admired Jiang Hongguo's attitude in solving the problem, so he called the police and paid compensation to the hotel, which was considered to be handled in accordance with the last coordination.
Hongguo observed the expressions of the people present. The customer was involved accidentally and was not targeting anyone intentionally. He cooperated with Hongguo and paid the money, for which Hongguo was very grateful.
But the boss and his wife looked unhappy about not achieving their goals.
Hong Guo asked, "Boss, I have persuaded the customer and compensated him. Can we let this go now?"
The boss said: "It's all a misunderstanding, just someone pays for it."
The restaurant owner's face was as stern as if she was attending a funeral, and she continued to make things more difficult: "The disturbance that day has affected my business and will continue to affect it in the future. Dazhu has to pay for this."
Asking Dazhu to pay compensation by name was intentional, but the one who is in trouble should not be Dazhu, but Hongguo herself, right?
With this in mind, Hong Guo raised her voice and asked, "If we don't pay, what do you want?"
The lady boss didn't take Hong Guo seriously: "Give me another thousand yuan and we'll let this go. Otherwise, when school starts, I'll go to school and see if they'll punish you or expel you."
Hong Guo calmed down and pointed at Da Zhu, who looked so helpless that his face turned red. "He repeated a year and passed the exam to come to the provincial capital from the countryside. It was not easy. You can ruin his life with just a casual word. Do you have to do this?"
The boss felt that the backer that Dazhu had found was angry. This kind of calm anger was the most difficult to deal with, and it depended on who had the stronger backing on either side.
The boss pulled his wife away and advised, "Harmony brings wealth. Our restaurant business is booming. Stop making trouble. Forget it."
No matter how good it is to run a restaurant, how can it be as profitable as mining coal? The coal boss's people said that as long as Jiang Hongguo could suffer any loss, they would take her husband to do the coal business.
The boss lady pushed her husband away and insisted: "Either pay a thousand or we go to court. He is a college student with a promising future. Let's fight. Who is afraid of who? Even if I ask your uncle who is the director to come, I am not afraid."
Hongguo thought that he knew a lot about her situation, even her uncle who was the deputy director knew about it.
Hongguo grabbed her collar, his fingers touched the gold necklace on her neck, and he saw the scene at once.
A man came to the restaurant to eat for several days in a row. He was generous and attracted the attention of the proprietress. During the conversation, the man asked the proprietress to create trouble for Dazhu and make Jiang Hongguo lose face, so that she could take her man to the coal mine to do coal business.
Hongguo let go before the proprietress took action.
The proprietress rushed over to hit Hongguo, and Dazhu rushed over and stood in front of Hongguo.
The boss pulled the lady boss back and beat her up, kicking and punching her: "If you have the guts, ask your uncle who is the director to come and arrest me."
The little one was very angry and waved his hands fiercely: "You are a bad person, bullying your brother and making my mother angry. I hate you."
The proprietress wanted to curse more, but suddenly she scratched her face with her hands, as if she was trying to grab something that didn't exist. She couldn't speak or breathe, and she fell to the ground, her face bleeding from scratches. She twisted and struggled, begging for someone to save her.
