The director of the supply and marketing cooperative, who had not shown up for a long time after An Jingzhi had been arguing with the salesperson, showed up after the police arrived.
As soon as the salesperson finished speaking, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative came out and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Zhang. Just cooperate with these comrades in the investigation. I'll take your leave."
The salesperson looked at the director of the supply and marketing cooperative eagerly, but the director just kept talking to the police, expressing his firm support for the work and not even looking at him.
The salesperson had no excuse and could only follow the police officers back.
"There's something wrong with this kid."
"Isn't his accent awkward to you?"
"No problem? It sounds like there's no problem now. When he gets angry, his accent sounds weird."
After cooperating with the investigation and stating any doubts he had, the police asked An Jingzhi to go back first. They asked him to keep the matter confidential because it involved espionage and they would notify him again if necessary.
After sending the person away, Liu Yujiang's face immediately darkened.
"Captain Liu, we've found out through questioning that this guy is indeed suspicious." A police officer came over hurriedly to report on his work.
"He said the director of the supply and marketing cooperative was related to him, and his job was to introduce him to someone."
Liu Yujiang sat back in the office and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Has this man's residence been searched?"
"Someone was sent, and they just reported back that a telegraph machine was found in his residence."
Liu Yujiang slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
…
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, the three children all felt dazed.
They clearly came to the county to buy things, but they didn't buy anything, so why did they go to the Public Security Bureau?
Originally, after An Jingzhi's guidance, the relationship between An Zhigang and An Shizheng had eased a lot, but they had been fighting for several years, so it was unlikely that their relationship would become very good all of a sudden.
After the two of them experienced the experience of protecting their grandfather together, they suddenly became much more harmonious.
"Have those uncles told you? You can't tell anyone about what happened today, including your parents, understand?"
An Zhigang nodded and said, "I know, Grandpa." He asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, is that man a spy?"
An Jingzhi was a little surprised. He just asked An Zhigang to contact the police and didn't say much else. He didn't expect that this kid actually guessed it by himself.
"Why are you asking so many questions? You're not allowed to tell anyone anyway."
Although An Jingzhi did not give a direct answer, An Zhigang and the other three already knew what was going on.
Catching spies is really not uncommon these days, and it was even more common a few years ago. The three children were not afraid at all when they heard this, and they were excited and thrilled.
I went to the Public Security Bureau and wasted most of my time.
After I got out, I took my three children to a state-owned restaurant for a meal. There was meat, vegetables, and white flour buns, and it only cost two yuan.
The four of them ate with their mouths full of oil and were very satisfied.
I went to buy a few cans of malted milk, various seasonings, pork ribs, pig offal, a pound of lean meat, some notebooks, paper and pens, and a few cans of vanishing cream before going home.
Originally, An Jingzhi wanted to buy milk powder, but unfortunately he couldn't find it, so he could only buy some White Rabbit milk candy instead.
At that time, the White Rabbit milk candy was condensed milk, and when soaked in water it became a bowl of milk powder.
We went too late and the fat and pork belly were already sold out.
On the way back, they were lucky enough to meet an ox cart passing by their village. They paid 40 cents to ride on the ox cart.
Although the ride was a bit bumpy, at least it was open air and the smell wasn't that disgusting.
The roads are not good these days, and the speed of an ox cart is actually not much different from that of a car. It is possible that an ox cart is even faster.
It is common for a car to break down during a journey and have to stop for repairs, which can take several hours.
They carried bags of various sizes back home, and the villagers stared at them in surprise.
"How could Old Man An, who is so stingy, be willing to buy so many things?"
"It looks like there's still some meat on it."
"I heard everyone just ate bacon a few days ago, so now they're eating meat again?"
"Why did Caiyun follow? I was wondering why I didn't see her today."
Several girls in the village who had a good relationship with An Caiyun were both envious and jealous.
The elders in the family would never let them go out when there was still work to do. Even if the work in the fields was done, the work at home would never be finished.
There were also two groups of boys surrounding An Xiangjun and An Shizheng, looking at them enviously as they chewed the White Rabbit milk candies.
When I got home, they had already started cooking.
It was too late to stew the bones, so he handed over the pound of lean meat he had bought and asked his two daughters-in-law to cook it for dinner.
The remaining meat is placed in the well to keep it fresh, and it will all be cooked and eaten the next day or the day after tomorrow.
Although they were prepared, they still felt a little sorry for spending money when they saw An Jingzhi buying so many things.
"Dad, how do I buy—"
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Yuxiu and the other man were stunned when they saw An Jingzhi take out the vanishing cream from his pocket.
As An Jingzhi took them, he said, "These bottles of vanishing cream are for you two and Caiyun."
Li Xinfeng wiped the water off her hands on her apron, then carefully picked up the bottle of vanishing cream: "Where's mine?"
Zhao Yuxiu also wiped her hands clean before picking up the things. "Hey, Dad, we are already old, what do we still need this for?"
"You have to use it no matter how old you are. Your face is exposed to the sun every day, and it gets red and swollen. Isn't it uncomfortable?"
The two of them touched their rough faces and felt a little touched. Their husbands didn't even notice it, and they didn't expect their father-in-law to be so thoughtful.
"And this jar is from Caiyun. Little girl, you should take good care of your face. If nothing else, it will make you feel better when you see it."
