It is true that Lin Wanjun came to express her gratitude, and it is also true that she came to find a way to buy coal.
She had long heard that there was a brick kiln in the neighboring commune and had been looking for an opportunity to come over and inquire about how to buy coal.
It happened that Wu Hongxia saved her, so she took her things and ran over to see if she could get some information.
Who would have thought that Wu Hongxia's husband worked in a brick kiln, and it was simply impossible to find him after searching everywhere.
The sky was gloomy. Wu Hongxia walked in front holding the child, and Lin Wanjun followed behind with a bowl of rice. The two of them crossed half of the village and walked towards the brick kiln at the west end of the village.
As soon as I walked into the brick kiln, a thin and dark man came to greet me.
"Didn't I say I was going home to eat? Why are you bringing it again?"
The man's name is Du Chengbin, and he is Wu Hongxia's husband.
Wu Hongxia handed the child in her arms to her husband and took the bowl of rice from Lin Wanjun.
"If I don't bring you food, are you planning to skip another meal?"
Du Chengbin chuckled.
"You're just trying to save as much as you can. If I eat one less bowl, you and the kids will have one more. The harvest was bad this year, and the little food the commune distributed isn't enough."
Wu Hongxia forced the bowl of rice into her husband's hands.
"There are so many sweet potato vines drying on the wall. Tomorrow I'll grind them into flour on the millstone and mix them with cornmeal to make steamed buns. That'll still fill my stomach."
"Brick kilns are physically demanding. How can you do it without eating?"
Lin Wanjun quietly watched the poor couple who supported each other.
Although life was hard, she saw the shadow of love in this couple.
Who says love is only about vows and promises made under the moonlight?
Du Chengbin was squatting in the corner eating, and Wu Hongxia introduced Lin Wanjun to her husband.
In fact, Du Chengbin had already noticed that there was a very beautiful girl following his wife.
But his wife didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear that his wife would misunderstand something.
"Wanjun wants to ask where I can buy coal."
Wu Hongxia lowered her voice and said, "The kind that doesn't require coal tickets!"
If it were someone else, Du Chengbin would definitely shake his head and say he didn't know, after all, this matter is risky.
But Lin Wanjun was raised by his wife herself, so how could he not help?
And he had heard about Lin Wanjun's deeds.
He single-handedly rescued Jiang Xiaoyu and her daughter and sent the villain Meng Fugen to prison.
This is something that many men dare not get involved in, but Lin Wanjun, a woman, dares to take care of it to the end, and does it so beautifully and neatly.
Du Chengbin looked around and made sure no one was eavesdropping before he spoke in a low voice.
"Master Guo, who delivers coal to our brick kiln, has a way to get coal! If you want to buy some, I can put you in touch with him. He happens to be delivering coal this afternoon!"
Lin Wanjun was overjoyed.
Sure enough, at around two or three in the afternoon, a tractor came rumbling over, emitting black smoke.
Master Guo, who drives the tractor, has a dark complexion, a slightly fat figure, and a pair of small eyes full of shrewdness and calculation.
Du Chengbin pulled Master Guo to a deserted corner and said something.
After a while, Master Guo walked up to Lin Wanjun and looked her up and down.
"You want coal? How much?"
Lin Wanjun smiled and said, "How much can you get?"
Master Guo doesn’t know how to answer this question.
Haha, the toad is yawning and has a very loud voice!
"Is five tons enough?"
Master Guo asked with his eyes wide open.
Lin Wanjun stretched out five fingers and doubled them again.
"I want ten tons."
Hearing this, Master Guo was stunned.
"Ten tons? What do you need so much coal for? Do you also run a brick kiln?"
Lin Wanjun smiled.
"Just tell me if you can get it!"
There was a gleam in Master Guo's little eyes.
"Are you doubting my ability? I'm not exaggerating, the director of the coal yard is my brother. He'll give me whatever I want, as long as you can afford it!"
Lin Wanjun said readily, "It's a deal then. Ten tons of coal, payment and delivery!"
Master Guo didn't expect Lin Wanjun to be so straightforward.
He had even prepared for the other party to bargain, but now...
OK, you are indeed a city dweller with lots of money and little brains!
Because the price was so reasonable, Master Guo was even afraid that Lin Wanjun would go back on her word, so he immediately proposed a delivery time.
"Give me the address for the coal delivery tomorrow morning!"
Lin Wanjun replied, "No need to deliver to my door. Just prepare the coal I want and leave it at your coal yard. I need it urgently, though. Can you pick it up tonight?"
Master Guo looked delighted after hearing this.
Is there such a good thing?
Now, even the diesel money for the tractor can be saved!
He said readily, "No problem. You can take my tractor and go directly to the coal yard. We'll pay and receive the goods. I guarantee it won't delay you!"
Master Guo was afraid that this foolish and rich God of Wealth would run away.
He unloaded the coal quickly, stepped on the accelerator all the way, and pulled Lin Wanjun to the coal yard in the billowing dust.
The coal yard is located near the county town, about ten kilometers away from the cadre school.
Master Guo led Lin Wanjun directly into the coal yard director's office.
Lin Wanjun did not hesitate and immediately took out the money for buying coal from her pocket and placed it on the director's desk.
Money makes the world go round!
The money is right in front of you, anyone who doesn’t want it is a fool!
Immediately, the director asked Master Guo to take people to load ten tons of coal and pile them all on the open space outside the coal yard according to Lin Wanjun's request.
"Actually, the price you gave includes delivery costs!"
Master Guo felt a little guilty and said, "How about you tell me your address and I'll send it to you?"
Lin Wanjun looked at the sky.
"No need, just go home after get off work. My people will come to haul coal as soon as it gets dark!"
As she spoke, Lin Wanjun gave a cigarette to Master Guo and several workers.
Master Guo and his colleagues were overjoyed to receive the cigarettes, and immediately went home happily after get off work.
When it was completely dark, Lin Wanjun was sure that there was no one around. She suddenly thought and shouted "Collect".
The hill of coal disappeared in an instant.
Done!
Lin Wanjun peeked into the space with a look of joy on her face, but saw old man Song Xiu glaring at her with a face covered in coal dust.
"Hey, girl, what are you doing with all this coal? You didn't even tell me. Look, I've become a little black man!"
Yes, ten tons of coal were piled right there on the White House lawn.
The old man happened to be lying on the lawn, daydreaming, and was caught off guard when he ate a mouthful of coal dust.
Lin Wanjun slid down on her knees and admitted her mistake.
Great-grandfather, ancestor, I was wrong!
After comforting the old man, Lin Wanjun happily prepared to go home.
Then, she was completely dumbfounded.
I'm riding a horse...
He was so busy collecting coal when no one was around that he forgot that the coal yard was more than ten kilometers away from the cadre school.
I came here on Master Guo’s tractor before, what should I do now?
Legs back?
It’s more than ten kilometers. How long will it take to get there?
Lin Wanjun couldn't help but wail.
"Grandpa, come out and look at this shabby place!"
The next moment, it was as if an invisible hand covered Lin Wanjun's left eye, making her a little panicked.
At the same time, Song Xiu's shocked and excited voice came to his ears.
"Girl, I seem to be able to see the outside world!"
