Chapter 23 Stealing Bacon
More than 100 kilograms of meat were taken away by Luo Xuan, how can this be tolerated?
Hearing this, Wei Min opened the door and walked out with Chen Zhilu, Qiao Yadong and Hu Huanxin. They stood side by side under the eaves, their faces full of anger, like four door gods.
"What's going on? Tell me slowly."
Xiang Bei has rich experience in leading the spearhead company. Under his management and guidance, the Security Department was comprehensively reformed using military training methods. Now, not only is Wei Min skilled and efficient, but the security staff under him are also convinced and honest.
Xiao Lin walked along the newly shoveled road. When he heard Wei Min's question, he reported the situation carefully: "It's my turn to guard the night shift today. Just now, I heard some noise in the kitchen warehouse. Director Luo and Director Jiao came out with two big bags on their backs. I didn't dare to stop them or ask. I came here to report as you requested, Chief Wei."
It turned out that Wei Min had always been worried about the pork that was intercepted from the pig-slaughtering farm during the snow.
More than 50 kilograms are intercepted at a time, and more than 100 kilograms are intercepted after two times. Such a large amount of meat is made into bacon, which is smoked black with pine branches and peanut shells. The aroma of meat, pine resin, fruit wood and smoke is mixed together, which is simply mouth-watering. Wei Min has always been craving for meat and has been waiting for the farm to distribute bacon during the Chinese New Year.
Currently, urban and rural residents have to use coupons to buy meat and meat products. Meat coupons were issued by local commercial departments, and there was no uniform supply standard. When the situation was good, a person could get half a pound of meat coupons per month on normal days, and one pound of meat coupons during the Spring Festival. If the meat supply is tight, you may not be able to eat even one or two pounds of meat in a month.
Under such circumstances, the pork raised by Xiufengshan Farm becomes extremely valuable.
Such a rare and good thing, weighing more than 100 kilograms, what if Jiao Liang and Luo Xuan secretly divided it up? Wei Min was worried and kept staring at the batch of bacon.
A while ago, Jiao Liang sent a group of cadres who opposed him, including Deputy Director Xiang Bei, Chief of Infrastructure Section Yang Xianyong, Chief of Logistics Section Zheng Haiyang, and Chief of Propaganda Section Zhou Linhu, to the provincial capital for study. Wei Min became even more nervous and arranged three shifts to take turns on duty every day, carefully guarding the canteen and warehouse, 24 hours a day without any relaxation.
Now... there is indeed movement!
Wei Min waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Come with me to stop them."
Qiao Yadong was a calm and thoughtful person. He hesitated for a moment and said, "What if we can't stop him? A higher-ranking official can crush a person. You are the section chief, he is the farm manager, and Xiangbei is not at the farm..."
Wei Min frowned, tilted his head, and said with a firm face: "We have to stop it even if we can't!"
Chen Zhilu's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind: "Well, you two go and stop them first. If you can stop them, that's fine. If not, just buy some time. I and the others will go ahead and wait in the tunnel. We'll take advantage of the chaos and steal the bacon!"
Wei Min grinned happily when he heard this: "Cheating thieves? Hahahaha, this is a good idea."
Qiao Yadong opened his mouth to say something, but Wei Min pulled him back: "You are good at speaking, come with me. Let's hold them back together first, so that everyone can prepare. In short... no matter if it is stolen or robbed, no one can take the bacon down the mountain!"
Wei Min was a strong man, and he had been specially trained by Xiang Bei, so his hands were very strong. Qiao Yadong staggered under his drag, and had to quicken his pace to catch up. As he walked, he turned around and ordered, "Chen Zhilu, be careful. The bacon is a small matter, but don't let Chief Jiao catch you wrong, or you'll have a record in your file."
Chen Zhilu rolled his eyes at him and waved his hands at him: "You are so nagging! Go quickly and don't let them run away."
Hu Huanxin saw that Qiao Yadong looked worried, and knowing that he was doing this for everyone's good, he chuckled and said, "Squad Leader Qiao is a cautious person, and what he said is not wrong."
After Chen Zhilu and Qiao Yadong had a fight, neither of them spoke to each other. Chen Zhilu actually regretted that he had been too harsh and spoke too harshly. This time, when he heard Qiao Yadong calling out his name and giving him a bunch of instructions, he felt that the lost brotherhood had returned. The depression that had been weighing on his chest disappeared, and he wanted to run a few laps and sing a song.
When people are happy, their brains work faster. Although Chen Zhilu was not good at studying, he was smart. While thinking, he began to select the troops and generals: "This time, it is more important to have good people rather than too many people. So... let's call Tao Nanfeng. She is strong and familiar with the tunnel. The three of us will act together."
As soon as Tao Nanfeng moved, Xiao Aiyun insisted on following. Chen Zhilu had no choice but to take the two of them with him, and the four of them quietly walked towards the tunnel.
Chen Zhilu carried a military water bottle on his back, a flashlight on his waist, and a pair of rubber shoes on his feet. After he finished packing, he asked everyone to tie up their trouser legs with straw ropes: "It's not long since the snow stopped, and the road is hard to walk on. Tie them up tightly to avoid getting mud on your trouser legs when you walk."
Xiao Aiyun praised him for being cautious and taking good care of his clothes, but Chen Zhilu grumbled in his heart: It would be bad if he was caught and his trouser legs were covered in mud, which would be an additional piece of evidence.
It has to be said that Chen Zhilu is very good at doing crooked things. He would think about how to destroy the evidence before doing anything.
Xiao Aiyun asked him, "Why do you bring a kettle?"
Chen Zhilu raised his eyebrows: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Xiao Aiyun was extremely curious. She kept asking questions as she walked, which annoyed Chen Zhilu to death. He looked at Tao Nanfeng who had been quietly following behind him and said to Xiao Aiyun, "Can you learn from Tao Nanfeng? Chirping like a little sparrow! We are going to ambush, not to stand on the podium. Can't you be quiet?"
Xiao Aiyun closed his mouth and pulled Tao Nanfeng with some grievance. Tao Nanfeng patted the back of his hand comfortingly and whispered in her ear: "Follow me later, don't run around."
As soon as Tao Nanfeng spoke, Xiao Aiyun suddenly came back to life and became energetic again. Tao Nanfeng knows everything and is not afraid of the dark at all. I will follow her in the tunnel to see if you are afraid!
The snow was heavy and the road was slippery. The four people hurried and hurried for two hours before they arrived at the newly completed tunnel.
Since the completion of this tunnel, the north and south slopes have been connected, and the mountain road has been shortened by one third. The tunnel is about 500 meters long, and it is windproof, rainproof, and snowproof, making it the only way to go up and down the mountain.
There was just one, dark tunnel. Because the tunnel was dug along the original cave, it was not straight, and there was no light on both sides when halfway through.
Deep, dark, and silent.
The further I went inside, the more panicked I became. There was no sound at all, only the footsteps and breathing of four people.
Xiao Aiyun was a little scared and held Tao Nanfeng's hand tightly. Previously, Chen Zhilu said that they wanted to set up an ambush here and intercept the bacon that Chief Jiao stole from the cafeteria. She thought it was great fun, but now that she was really in the tunnel, she began to get scared.
When she was scared, she began to shiver, walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and her breathing became heavy.
Chen Zhilu turned on the flashlight, and a dim band of light was projected out, illuminating the passage in front of him.
"Xiao Aiyun, can you be more ambitious? We dug this tunnel together. We leveled every little stone on the ground and shoveled the stone walls on both sides wider. What are you afraid of?"
Chen Zhilu's voice echoed in the tunnel, causing waves of echoes.
Xiao Aiyun felt warm in her heart and the tension gradually subsided. Looking around, every inch and every foot here is condensed with my sweat. Why should I be afraid to come back here now?
She was calm, stood up straight, and said softly, "Well, I'm not afraid."
Chen Zhilu heard her tone become relaxed, and continued: "The manager stole our bacon and brought it down the mountain. Now we are taking the meat back. This is called chivalry, not doing evil. Don't worry, they stole the things first, and they are guilty. Even if they know it was us, they dare not say anything."
In the darkness, Tao Nanfeng's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Without the help of a flashlight, she could see everything here clearly. Ever since she was bitten by a mutant rat in her dream, the "rat nature" in her body has become stronger and stronger.
Night vision, digging holes, and liking snacks…
Walking into the tunnel, Tao Nanfeng didn't feel scared at all. Instead, he felt happy and cheerful as if he had returned home. She raised her slender finger and said, "There is a small fork over there. It was used to store tools. Let's hide there first."
Tao Nanfeng's voice was low and soft, like the plucking of a cello string, and it touched Chen Zhilu's ears, making his heart flutter. He raised his hand and slapped himself on the face, cursing himself: Tao Nanfeng is my sister, don't have any bad thoughts.
There was a crisp sound of "Pa!", which attracted Hu Huanxin's surprised eyes: "Chen Zhilu, why did you hit yourself?"
Chen Zhilu laughed and said, "Mosquitoes, there are mosquitoes."
Hu Huanxin was even more puzzled: "Where do the mosquitoes come from in the middle of winter?"
Chen Zhilu replied unhappily: "How would I know? My face was itchy, so I slapped it. Don't worry about these little details, let's go, let's hide first."
Tao Nanfeng suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned to look back along the way.
Chen Zhilu asked her: "What's wrong?"
Tao Nanfeng raised his chin and reminded: "There are footprints outside the tunnel."
Chen Zhilu slapped his head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot!" He returned the same way, walked to the entrance of the tunnel, unscrewed the mouth of the military water bottle, and poured the water onto the road.
It was freezing cold and the road surface instantly froze.
Looking at the smooth ice surface, Chen Zhilu chuckled: "I'll let you eat alone! You dare to steal my bacon? You're dreaming! I'll throw you to the ground first--"
Just as he was about to sweep the footprints in the snow, he suddenly heard the faint sound of someone talking in the distance. Chen Zhilu hurriedly threw the pine branches down the hillside and hurried into the tunnel.
Jiao Liang, Luo Xuan, and Liu Bin walked towards the tunnel while cursing.
"There are many footprints in the snow along the way. How could someone come down the mountain so early? Who ran away without reporting?"
"Wei Min is such a bold guy that he dared to block the director's way! Just look at how crazy he is as the head of the security department."
"I originally thought that Qiao Yadong was a well-educated youth with a good image and a good attitude, and that he had great potential for development. I didn't expect that he was in cahoots with Wei Min and even had the guts to stop us from going down the mountain... It's really disappointing."
As they got closer, I saw that the three men were wearing military coats, thick leather shoes, cotton hats on their heads, and each of them was holding a 60-centimeter-long yellow canvas bag in their hands.
The bag is printed with a white sailboat sailing against the waves, which is very eye-catching. Handbags of this specification were very popular at the time because they were of moderate size, light and sturdy. Young people who went out to travel with friends liked to carry one, so they were called "travel bags."
As the three of them walked, the sound of newspapers rubbing against each other could be heard in the bag.
Liu Bin was delighted to hear this voice: "The bacon this time is really well made, so fatty." Especially the two-cut meat, which was half fat and half lean. Even after being wrapped in oilcloth and then in newspaper, fat still seeped out.
Jiao Liang frowned and said, "Say less. Bring ten kilograms back to the provincial capital and wait. I'll come to see you after your sister comes down the mountain. Don't contact me during this period. My wife is very powerful."
Liu Bin chuckled: "I know, brother-in-law, you should find a way to transfer me and my sister back to the provincial capital. Living in the mountains is really depressing."
Jiao Liang responded casually, but thought to himself: Transfer you two back to the provincial capital, and I will live alone on the farm? What a wish! If your sister wasn't pretty and good at talking, why would I keep a lazy person like you?
Luo Xuan was attentive at the side: "Master, you have worked hard. Do you want me to help you carry it?"
Jiao Liang casually put the bag in his hand, and Luo Xuan's body sank to the side. He happened to step on the ice and fell flat on his back with a "puff".
Liu Bin reached out to help, but his foot slipped and he fell down as well.
Jiao Liang was so panicked that he squatted down, looking very funny. He managed to steady himself and looked at the strange ice on the ground: "Why is there ice here? Didn't we just mobilize the masses to shovel the snow?"
The three of them supported each other as they walked across the ice and entered the tunnel cursing.
Jiao Liang was empty-handed, holding a flashlight, and said, "Although Xiangbei is a bastard, he is really good at doing things. It only took a month or so to build a tunnel. It's amazing. And look at the ground here, it's smooth and flat..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from the cave.
"Crack, crack!" It was as if iron was scraping on the surface of stone, harsh and sharp.
Luo Xuan's two hands were occupied, and he looked around nervously: "What's going on? Where did the sound come from?!"
Liu Bin coughed and shouted, "Who is it?" His voice was so loud that it caused echoes, making it even more terrifying.
"Woo-woo-woo——" There is a sound of wind!
Why is there wind sound in the tunnel? As soon as I came in, I could clearly feel the warmth, and there was no wind or snow.
Jiao Liang had done so many bad things that he felt uneasy. He swept his flashlight around and shouted in a bluffing voice, "Who is playing tricks over there? Come out now!"
“Awoo—Awoo—Ah, roar—” The strange noises became more and more frequent. The ventriloquism skills he had practiced since childhood finally came in handy, and Chen Zhilu was secretly happy at the fork in the road.
Others thought it was dark, but Tao Nanfeng felt like it was daytime. She picked up a few stones from the stone wall and threw them at Jiao Liang and the other two.
Whoosh—whoosh—ah!
After a scream, Jiao Liang was hit on the back of his hand and the flashlight suddenly fell to the ground. It doesn't matter if it falls, the back cover comes loose, the battery flies out, and the light goes out.
It was pitch black inside the cave.
Chen Zhilu and the others could not see anything, they could only hear Jiao Liang, Luo Xuan and Liu Bin groping on the ground trying to pick up the flashlight in a commotion.
Take advantage of the chaos!
Tao Nanfeng raised her hand and threw a few more stones, hitting Luo Xuan and Liu Bin hard. When they put down their bags and screamed, she hit them a few more times, hitting their ankles.
When has Jiao Liang ever suffered such a loss? His hands and feet ached, and he sat on the ground and wailed, "Liu Bin, Liu Bin, come quickly!"
Liu Bin didn't care about Jiao Liang at the moment. He had just fallen at the tunnel entrance and his face was bruised and swollen. Now a stone hit him from nowhere, which frightened him. He hugged Jiao Liang and screamed at the top of his lungs: "Ghost... There is a ghost..."
Luo Xuan was most afraid of death. When he heard Liu Bin shouting that there was a ghost, he was so scared that he rolled and crawled forward to escape, but he bumped into a protruding stone wall and fainted on the ground with a thud.
Tao Nanfeng smiled, walked quietly to their side, bent down and picked up three large bags of bacon.
The three bags weighed more than 100 kilograms. Others would definitely not be able to lift them, but in Tao Nanfeng's hands they were as light as a feather. After doing all this, Tao Nanfeng returned to the fork in the road where he had been hiding, took Xiao Aiyun's hand, and whispered to Chen Zhilu and Hu Huanxin: "Let's go!"
After that, she walked ahead.
In the darkness, Chen Zhilu had no idea what was happening, but Tao Nanfeng's voice was so calm that he couldn't help but obey. The four of them held hands and walked out of the tunnel, bypassing Jiao Liang who was still exploring in the dark.
The light was right in front of him. Seeing the three bags in Tao Nanfeng's hands, Xiao Aiyun opened his mouth and almost made a sound, but Chen Zhilu reacted quickly and covered his mouth with his hand.
Everyone's pace was getting faster and faster, gradually leaving the three people who were still shouting and screaming in the tunnel behind.
After running for seven or eight minutes, seeing that no one was catching up with him, Chen Zhilu stopped panting and shouted in surprise: "Tao Nanfeng, how did you do it?"
Tao Nanfeng smiled slightly: "I am familiar with the tunnel."
Two people suddenly jumped out of the forest, scaring everyone. Looking closely, it turned out to be Wei Min and Qiao Yadong.
Wei Min saw three big bags in Tao Nanfeng's hands and quickly took them. Qiao Yadong reacted quickly, dragging over a pine branch and clearing the footprints left on the remaining snow.
Chen Zhilu then remembered that he had run in a hurry and forgot to deal with the scene. If footprints were seen at the tunnel entrance, Jiao Liang and the others would definitely know that someone was deliberately causing trouble. He walked up to Qiao Yadong and hugged him, smiling happily: "Good brother, you are still more cautious."
The six people carried their bags and returned home happily.
"Oh my god, I was so nervous just now that my heart almost jumped out of my throat!" Xiao Aiyun patted his chest, still feeling scared.
Chen Zhilu said: "Who asked you to come with me? You are of no use at all, you are just afraid."
Xiao Aiyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "What else did you do besides pouting and screaming?"
Hu Huanxin scratched his head and said, "It seems that I didn't do anything. I just scraped the stone cave wall with a knife..."
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.
"It's all thanks to Tao Nanfeng alone!"
"That's right. I don't know how she managed to steal all three bags without anyone noticing."
"The bacon is all here, we'll have a treat this Chinese New Year~~"
The six people returned to the educated youth point and quietly hid the three bags under the bunk bed in Wei Min's dormitory. Considering that there were too many people talking, everyone decided to keep quiet for the time being and deal with the bacon after things calmed down.
Having the same secret again, the relationship between the six people unknowingly deepened. We are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so you have to help me and I have to help you, right?
Chen Zhilu is still young after all, and thought that Jiao Liang was being robbed so he didn't dare to speak out. Unexpectedly, Jiao Liang found that his bag was stolen. When he thought about the chaotic footprints before entering the tunnel, he immediately reacted: this was not a ghost, but someone was playing tricks.
He had never suffered such a loss before, so he made up his mind and went to the police station at the foot of the mountain to report the case, and began a full investigation on the grounds that farm supplies had been stolen.
The next day, the police officers of the police station quickly organized a special team and sent five police comrades to the mountain with three police dogs.
——This has become a big deal!
The security department immediately reported to Wei Min who was having lunch at the educated youth site.
Wei Min's face changed and he stood up suddenly: Damn it! Coming so quickly. It would be fine if there were only public security comrades, but three police dogs... this is a bit bad.
Qiao Yadong fell into deep thought: All items must be disposed of before the police dog arrives. It’s impossible to hide it under the bunk bed, so where should I hide it? Even if we move, can the strong smell of bacon under the bunk bed be dissipated in such a short time? What if the police dog smells the remaining bacon on some of us during the assembly?
Time was running out, and even Chen Zhilu, who was usually smart, was helpless.
"You bastard! Director Jiao is so cunning! He even thought of using a police dog."
"What should we do? If we are discovered, we will be doomed."
"Hurry up, hurry up, find a solution."
“Ding-ding-ding—”
The sound of gongs could be heard in the distance, and Liu Bin shouted at the top of his voice: "Emergency, every household, gather at the site! Every household, gather at the site!"
Xiao Aiyun's eyes turned red with anxiety. He clenched his hands into fists and stood up with gritted teeth: "I'll go! Let me bear this crime alone and say that I stole it because I was greedy. I don't have any great ambitions and I won't be a talent anyway. You are all capable people with bright futures. You can't bear this stain."
She looked at Tao Nanfeng with tears in her eyes: "If the police arrest me, remember to write a letter to my family for me. Don't hide it from my mother. I'm afraid she will be sad..."
Qiao Yadong didn't expect that the first person to stand up would be Xiao Aiyun. If there was no great courage and high spirit of dedication, who would take on all the charges?
Thinking of the accusations he had made against her, Qiao Yadong felt extremely upset. While he was blaming himself, he suddenly had an idea. His eyes lit up: "Don't rush to confess. Let's try a different method!"
Everyone worked together and everything was ready in less than ten minutes.
When everyone was standing in the open space and the police dogs had not yet started searching and patrolling, the sound of dogs barking could be heard continuously.
"Here, a handbag was found here."
"Here, there's a bag of bacon here too!"
"here……"
The bacon that was reported to the police as being stolen just now actually appeared in the field office. One handbag was in the director's office, one handbag was in the general office, and one handbag was next to the stove in the cafeteria.
The police dog barked excitedly. Qiao Yadong, who was standing in the crowd, raised his lips slightly and said to Chen Zhilu in a low voice, "Strange, why is he hiding in the director's office?"
Chen Zhilu blinked his eyes: "Isn't this the thief crying thief?"
The people present started to shout, "Why did you call us here? Wasn't it said that the bacon would be distributed to everyone during the New Year? How did it get put into a bag and secretly placed in the leader's office? Could it be that he stole the bacon?"
Jiao Liang stared blankly at the familiar bag, and couldn't understand why the thief would spit out the bacon. He picked up a loud speaker and shouted, "Comrades, don't be fooled by the bad guys! If it was me, why would I report it to the police and ask them to come up the mountain to investigate? This is definitely a frame-up!"
His voice reached everyone's ears through the loudspeaker, and the crowd gradually quieted down.
"Yes, if it was the manager who stole the bacon, why would he report it to the police?"
"The person who framed me is quite capable. He was able to sneak into the office."
"But... the meat has been returned, what's the point in investigating further?"
Cold sweat dripped down Wei Min's back.
Qiao Yadong, who just thought his plan had succeeded, was stuck and felt uneasy.
Hu Huanxin and Chen Zhilu looked at each other, hid their hands, which had been washed countless times and had no smell at all, behind their backs, and couldn't help but regret that they had not arranged things carefully.
Tao Nanfeng stood in the crowd, with a slender figure and a fair face. Xiao Aiyun's thin body trembled slightly, and he was obviously very scared.
They were all only seventeen or eighteen years old and had no experience in political struggles. They stole the bacon out of righteous indignation and did not have any careful and detailed plan.
A cold wind blew, bringing a chill and large flakes of snow falling.
"It's snowing! It's snowing!"
Following a shout from the crowd, the leading police officer looked up, frowned, and said to Jiao Liang, "Since the things have been found, the mission is accomplished. It's cold on the mountain, and we'll have to close the mountain as soon as it snows. Let's withdraw first."
After saying that, without bothering to find out who the thief was, the group left in a hurry.
The mountain road at Xiufengshan Farm is very dangerous, rugged, narrow and difficult to walk on. If you are not careful, you will easily roll off the cliff. When the snow is deep, no one dares to go down the mountain and they can only stay on the farm and endure the hardship. This is the so-called "closing the mountain".
Once it snowed, Jiao Liang didn't dare to stay on the farm. There are only a dozen days left until the Chinese New Year, and everything in the provincial capital needs to be taken care of. If I don’t go down the mountain, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in this freezing farm this year.
He was in a hurry to get the bacon down the mountain, so he didn't bother to find out who the thief was. He shouted to the crowd standing in the open space: "It's snowing, everyone go back. Although the thief returned the bacon, the public security organs will never condone such criminal behavior, and this matter must be investigated to the end!"
After saying these polite words, Jiao Liang winked at Luo Xuan and Liu Bin, and prepared to go down the mountain with the bacon after the crowd dispersed.
When Wei Min saw the little actions of Jiao Liang and the other two, anger burned in his heart. Even at this time, they still didn't forget to take the bacon for themselves. They are even more hateful than the rats in the warehouse!
Wei Min gritted his teeth and walked against the flow of people to the eaves of the office building. He picked up a loud speaker and shouted, "Comrades, bacon is the New Year's supplies for the farm workers. Since everyone is here, how about we distribute the meat on the spot?"
The voice coming from the loudspeaker stopped all the farm workers who were about to leave and cheered in unison: "Good! Share the meat, share the meat!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wei Min called for the distribution of the meat on the spot and received support from everyone. Jiao Liang was furious and said viciously: "The people from the logistics department are not here, so it is not your turn to make the decision. The distribution of the meat will have to wait until the New Year, and no one is allowed to touch it!"
Qiao Yadong, Chen Zhilu, and Hu Huanxin understood what he meant and shouted together: "Comrades, it's time to share the meat~"
The crowd was excited and didn't care about the falling snowflakes. They rushed over, grabbing and snatching. They pushed Jiao Liang and others aside and opened the zipper of the bag.
Sizzle——
The aroma of bacon overflowed, and the bacon wrapped in newspaper was filled with a strong aroma of oil and smoke, making everyone salivate. Wei Min stood on the stage and waved his hand: "Queue up, queue up!"
The staff of the Security Department stood guard beside the bags, and the educated youth from Jiangcheng followed to maintain order. The chaotic crowd gradually calmed down, and people began to distribute the bacon according to their units and individuals.
"No. 1 Youth League Point, get 6 pounds and 4 ounces of bacon!"
"No. 2 Youth League Point, receive 7.8 jin of bacon."
"Labor Protection Department, receive two catties and two ounces of bacon."
“…”
Some people were weighing, some were registering, and some were calling numbers. The scene was very lively and everyone was waiting excitedly.
A man who received the bacon was grinning from ear to ear, and shouted in the snow: "Everyone from Production Team 3, come to me to share the meat!"
A group of people ran after him: "Here they come, here they come!"
Everyone was so happy that they were flying with joy, except Jiao Liang, Luo Xuan and Liu Bin who had grim faces.
Snowflakes fell one by one, spinning and falling in the air.
Seeing that Wei Min ignored the existence of him as the director and divided the meat without permission, Jiao Liang felt a lump in his chest and felt extremely aggrieved.
The person who takes the lead in distributing the bacon is definitely the one who stole the bacon! Originally, I wanted to use the police station to catch Wei Min, the bad apple, but I didn't expect that God was blind and it started snowing at this time.
Now that all the bacon has been distributed, what should we eat or give as gifts during the New Year?
Luo Xuan's forehead was hit by the stone wall of the tunnel, leaving a big bump and purple bruise, and he looked very embarrassed. He walked to Jiao Liang with a bitter face and asked aggrievedly: "Director, what should we do?"
Jiao Liang glared at him and said, "What do we do? You are the office director, why don't you go and collect all the bacon for the staff in the field?!" Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat. Even if each person only has two taels, there are more than thirty or forty people in various departments of the field, so they can at least have a few pounds of meat, right?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the crowd cheered: "Director Xiang is back——"
In front of the field gate there is a wide cement road leading down the mountain, and five figures are walking towards them from the other end of the road.
Deputy Director Xiang Bei, Chief of Infrastructure Section Yang Xianyong, Chief of Logistics Section Zheng Haiyang, Chief of Publicity Section Zhou Linhu, and Captain of Road Construction Team Mao Peng. These five people were Xiang Bei's team. Jiao Liang found an excuse to send them to the provincial capital for political studies. They originally wanted to take the opportunity to bring the bacon down the mountain, but they didn't expect... that the daring Wei Min was left behind!
Not only did he dare to steal the bacon, he also dared to distribute the bacon in public!
Jiao Liang knew that the situation was hopeless, so he just grabbed a piece of bacon and hurried down the mountain with Luo Xuan and Liu Bin. Before leaving, he said to Xiang Bei with a fake smile: "Director Xiang, you are back just in time. I will leave the matter of stealing bacon to you. After I report my work in the provincial capital, I will come back to listen to your report..."
Xiang Bei came in dusty, with unmelted snow on his head, shoulders and arms. Before Jiao Liang could finish the word "report", he turned his wrist and grabbed his pulse.
Feeling numb and sore, Jiao Liang stood there unable to move. Just as he was about to scold Xiang Bei, the words he heard made him tremble with fear.
"Where did you lose the bacon? Why was it in the bag given to the site leaders at the meeting in Kyoto last year?"
Wei Min was a little nervous at first, and he pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movements here. When he heard Xiang Bei's question, he knew that he had grasped the key to the problem.
Good question, brilliant question, great question!
