The next morning.
Lu Chen had just gathered his men and was ready to go on a mission when he heard the guard calling him to answer the phone.
Who was looking for him so early? It couldn't be Grandpa and the others. They all called Commander Zhou's office directly. He didn't seem to have told anyone about the guardhouse's phone number.
Confused, he ran to the guard room, but the phone had been hung up.
The guard came over and said, "Lu Tuan, they said they'd call back in five minutes. Please wait a moment, they should be calling soon."
"Okay, it's okay, I'll wait!"
Just as I was speaking, the phone started to ring.
The guard took a look at the phone and said, "Tuan Lu, please answer it. This is the call just now."
Lu Chen picked up the phone, "Hello! Hello! I'm Lu Chen!"
Then I heard the person on the other end of the phone say, "Lu Chen! It's me, Su Ruoli!"
"Xiao Li'er, why are you here? What happened? Why are you calling me so early?" There was obvious surprise in Lu Chen's voice.
Yes, it was Su Ruoli on the other end of the phone. She had told Liu Guofeng early in the morning that she was going to the county town in the morning and would do her work when she came back in the afternoon.
Of course Liu Guofeng agreed. Since it wouldn't interfere with his work, he let her go.
"Are you free to talk?" Su Ruoli asked on the other end of the phone.
"It's convenient, you tell me!"
Su Ruoli looked around and saw that there was only an older woman from the post office next to her, no one else.
Su Ruoli whispered, "I saw little turtles and many other creatures in the back mountain."
She didn't know if Lu Chen would understand what she said, but she was afraid of alerting the enemy. What if someone heard what she said and moved them to the back mountain, it would be even more difficult to find them.
"Little turtle? Other creatures?"
Sure enough, Lu Chen didn't understand and repeated it again.
"Yeah, can you come and help me catch the little turtle today?" Su Ruoli asked.
"But I have to go on a mission today. Can you wait until I come back?" Lu Chen asked cautiously. The first time Xiao Lier asked him for help, he refused.
Su Ruoli was speechless. Why couldn't this guy understand? If you were going on a mission, at least send someone who wasn't on a mission!
Pretending to be angry, he said, "I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. Call me when you've made up your mind. If you don't come, you're dead."
After saying that, Su Ruoli hung up the phone and kept muttering while pretending to be angry.
The lady at the post office came over and said, "Young man, are you calling your girlfriend?"
"Yeah!" Su Ruoli nodded.
"Are you angry?" the lady at the post office asked again.
"Sister, look at this guy. It's been so long, and not only does he not call me, he doesn't even write to me. He gets impatient when I call him. Do you think he has someone else?" Su Ruoli pretended to complain.
"Hey! All men are the same, they say one thing and do another behind your back." The eldest sister patted Su Ruoli's shoulder and said.
Lu Chen listened to the beeping sound of the phone and was a little confused for a moment. Why did he hang up?
Xiao Lier told him to think it over before calling him. What exactly did he want to consider?
Lu Chen stood in front of the phone and began to carefully filter every word Su Ruoli said.
Xiao Lier said that he saw little turtles and other creatures in the back mountain and asked him to help catch the turtles.
What Xiao Lier was talking about was definitely not as simple as catching a turtle. She had done such a small thing as catching a turtle by herself. It was impossible for her to call him so early.
turtle?
Other creatures?
WC! Could it be that Xiao Li'er encountered a human trafficker?
Lu Chen thought about it for about ten minutes and finally figured it out. He turned around and called the number back, not knowing whether Xiao Li'er was there.
Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!
Su Ruoli was chatting happily with the lady at the post office when the phone rang.
Su Ruoli turned her head and looked at the phone. It was Lu Chen calling. She said to the lady at the post office, "Sister, it's my boyfriend. I answered the phone directly!"
"Okay, you answer it!" The elder sister said and walked away.
Su Ruoli picked up the phone and said "Hello".
When Lu Chen heard Su Ruoli's voice, he quickly said, "Xiao Li'er, have you encountered human traffickers?" Lu Chen's voice was full of worry.
"It's about the same, maybe even more serious than this." Su Ruoli said nonchalantly.
Lu Chen became uneasy. Could this be related to the mission he was about to undertake?
"Okay, I got it. Don't act rashly. Let's set off now. We should be at your place by noon." Lu Chen was anxious.
"Okay, I got it! Then I'll hang up!" Su Ruoli said and hung up the phone.
Then he said to the lady at the post office, "Sister, I'm done with the call. Can you help me check how much it is?"
"Okay, let me take a look!"
Su Ruoli gave up her seat and the lady at the post office started to count.
"It costs eighty cents a minute to make a call. You called for three minutes in total, so that's two dollars and forty cents."
Su Ruoli took out the money and handed it to the lady at the post office, "Thank you, lady."
Although she said thank you, what she was thinking in her heart was that the phone bill was really expensive.
"Thank you, come back if you need me!"
"Okay!" After saying that, Su Ruoli walked out of the post office, rode her beloved little bicycle, and walked back.
She had to finish her work before she got back. Lu Chen and the others were coming at noon, and she would definitely take them up the mountain.
She is really busy today!
The whole trip took her more than two hours.
The sun was already very strong now, so she didn't ride her bike home. Instead, she rode it directly to get the tools and continued to dig out the corn roots.
She parked her bicycle at the edge of the field, picked up a hoe and started working. Today she used all her strength and worked much faster than usual.
Normally, she only used 50% of her strength and was already that fast. Now that she used 100% of her strength, you can imagine how fast she would be.
Brush! Brush! Brush!
She finished the work in a short while without drinking a sip of water because she didn't bring a water bottle with her when she went out today.
I was the first one to finish work today, and the people around me were already exhausted. I came so late, but I was still the first one to finish work, and I finished work at noon.
The key point is that they have only done half of their work, while others have finished a day's work. There is really no comparison.
Before Su Ruoli came, they all thought they were working very fast. But when Su Ruoli came, they almost felt like they had become useless.
Those who have never done farm work for a day can work faster than those who work every day.
She clapped her hands and praised herself, saying that she was such a capable little bee.
Su Ruoli carried the hoe in one hand and steered the bicycle with the other. She returned the tools, recorded the work points, and then leisurely rode her bicycle home.
Su Ruoli pushed the bicycle back into the house, went into the space to wash up, and then went to the kitchen.
Looking at the fish hanging above the kitchen, she has worked so hard, it’s not too much to reward her with a fish.
He reached out and took the two fish, washed them in water, and chopped them into sections.
I'm going to make braised fish today, and it's sure to make Zhang Sitong drunk again.
