The grey night falls, as if an endless amount of thick ink is lightly smeared on the sky, leaving only a trace of dim sunset shining on the earth, dimly illuminating one side.
The headlight beam of the big truck fell on the big osmanthus tree at the entrance of the village. After a while, the rumbling sound of the engine stopped, and people gradually gathered around the car, forming a big circle.
The fast-running child had already reached out and touched the muddy car body, his eyes sparkling as if he had found a new toy.
Su Nan was carried over and actually occupied a seat in the front row. He could pick a newly opened osmanthus bud with just a lift of his hand, and the tip of his nose was filled with the sweet and sticky fragrance unique to osmanthus.
Suddenly, the door of the truck was opened from the inside. Su Nan looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned the next second.
I saw a long leg in black trousers stepping on the pedal of the car, and jumping down from the car with the help of the force. The man stood alone, his back as tall as a mountain did not shake at all, his eyes as dark as the abyss looked around indifferently, and finally fell accurately on Su Nan.
"Zhou Rang." Su Nan murmured softly, subconsciously tidied up the long hair on her shoulders, and revealed a seductive smile.
Zhou Rang pursed his lips tightly, but when he saw her smiling at him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly. His eyes curved, his brows raised and he smiled, looking handsome and moving. His Adam's apple rolled up and down quickly, trying hard to suppress the surging thoughts in his heart.
It was not until Ga Mao, who got off the bus later, called his name that Zhou Rang came back to his senses.
"These are all the fertilizers and seeds we bought in Huiping City this time."
Mao Zedong came to Xiao Heguo to report the completion of the mission, and described in detail the difficulties encountered in this mission, and how he bought so many fertilizers and seeds when they were out of stock in the whole city.
Of course, he omitted all traces of the black market and simply said that he happened to know the director of a fertilizer factory in another province and, using his connections, obtained the items in an unconventional way.
Xiao Heguo couldn't hide his excitement. He patted the arms of Ma Mao and Zhou Rang and laughed, "Thank you for your trouble. I thank you on behalf of all the staff of Xiaojia Village."
"We are all from the same village, so there's no need to be polite. Besides, this time it's all thanks to Comrade Zhou Rang. I'm just an assistant at most." Yu Mao waved his hand, not wanting to tacitly take credit for such a great contribution.
Xiao Heguo shifted his sight to the young man standing next to Ma Mao with a surprised expression. His impression of Zhou Rang was still that he was a man of few words, with a sense of nobility that was out of place in the small mountain village, and a sense of alienation all over his body.
If he hadn't wanted to bring food and medicine to Su Zhiqing, they probably wouldn't have said a few words.
Xiao Heguo originally thought that it was all thanks to the commune to get so many fertilizers and seeds, but he didn't expect that it was actually thanks to Zhou Rang?
He was so young and new here, how could he have met the director of a fertilizer factory in another province in Huiping City? It was totally unexpected.
"Young and promising." Finally, Xiao Heguo uttered these words dryly.
Zhou Rang nodded slightly and met the complicated gazes of the crowd calmly.
"Who is this?" Xiao Hejun noticed a strange man standing against the car door and asked.
Yu Mao reacted and quickly introduced: "This is Comrade Zheng Guangqi, a worker from the fertilizer factory. He and Comrade Zhou Rang took turns driving all the way back."
"Hey, hey, thank you for your help, Comrade Zheng." Xiao Hejun stepped forward and extended his hand.
Zheng Guangqi quickly shook his hand back and said with a smile, "Let's help each other."
"Zhou Zhiqing can also drive?" Xiao Heguo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The shock Zhou Rang brought to him tonight was really too great.
Nowadays, people who can drive a tractor are sought after by all parties. I didn’t expect that Zhou Rang could also drive a large truck. He really is a hidden talent.
"I learned it when I was in the army before." Zhou Rang glanced at Zheng Guangqi who was chatting enthusiastically with Xiao Hejun and shook his head secretly. This kid can thrive anywhere.
“I’ve been in the army.” What’s his background?
Before Xiao Heguo could think about it, he saw Ma Mao approaching him and saying, "We saw you guys gathered on the edge of the field just now when we were in the car. Did something happen?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Heguo's face turned cold and he turned to look at the crowd.
Everyone consciously made way, revealing Xiao Fuqiang and Village Chief Xiao who were about to catch people.
"Village chief, you guys talk about Fuqiang yourself?" Xiao Heguo swept the crowd with his sharp eyes, and many people lowered their heads silently.
Village Chief Xiao turned around awkwardly, his eyes flickering as he thought of a countermeasure: "It was a misunderstanding. Fuqiang came to my house in the afternoon to call me and said that something happened in the fields. When I heard this, I immediately went to see it with him.
"It turned out that something had really happened. This matter concerned the livelihood of the common people. As the head of the village, I couldn't just sit back and watch. So I asked He Guo and He Jun to come over. Only then did I realize that the commune had made all the arrangements, leaving us no cause for worry."
Many people couldn't help but laugh sarcastically after hearing this.
"His face changes faster than a book. I don't know who was yelling for the team leader and the village party secretary to be held responsible and to remove them from their posts?" Su Nan curled his lips and chose to expose Village Chief Xiao's empty words without hesitation.
"Now that Zhou Zhiqing and his team have brought in so many fertilizers and seeds that can solve the problem, you still want to pretend that nothing happened?" Gao Zhongbin was also a ruthless man. He followed Su Nan's lead and pointed out the point.
Village Chief Xiao choked and moved his lips, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Xiao Fuqiang hid behind Village Chief Xiao, cleared his throat, and said confidently: "Now that the matter has been resolved, isn't it? It's your job anyway, so it's what you should do."
Then he pulled Village Chief Xiao and rushed out of the crowd towards his home.
"What kind of person is this? He always finds faults. Now that others have found a way to come back, he wants to smooth things over. Do you think everyone else is blind and deaf?"
"I really want to be an official. I'm crazy about it."
"The village chief has become increasingly confused in recent years."
"In the end, it was all in vain, but I don't know if they really considered everyone from the beginning."
"What are you thinking about? Don't you know what kind of person Xiao Fuqiang is? He is usually so selfish. You still expect him to consider others. Unless the sun rises from the west, if he doesn't want to take this opportunity to overthrow He Guo, can he call everyone out?"
Everyone was chattering non-stop.
Zheng Guangqi moved to Zhou Rang's side, frowning as if he could pinch a fly to death, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He hesitated and said, "Brother Zhou, why are there so many people in the countryside? Are you sure you don't want to go back to Shanghai?"
Zhou Rang immediately turned around and glared at him, then pursed his lips, closed his mouth consciously, and took a step back. Okay, he should just mind his own business first.
For example, how to deal with goods hidden among a pile of fertilizers and seeds.
Seeing that Zheng Guangqi was sensible, Zhou Rang's expression slowly returned to normal, but when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Come find me."
The familiar lip shape, so familiar that I was afraid he wouldn’t understand, so I said it three times.
