The workers drove into the city in a second-hand car with the words "Moon Bay Hotel" printed on it.
Someone in the car bought some good cigarettes, and after walking through the aisle, he had distributed a whole box of cigarettes.
Some people like to eat oranges, so they take a plastic bag and walk around, and they are all gone.
Everyone was laughing and cursing, smoking other people's cigarettes and eating other people's food, and they couldn't stop talking.
When someone asked, someone started to make a noise:
"Brother Lao Nian, when we go shopping in the capital later, what are you going to buy for your wife? Are you worried about it? Oh, Brother Lao Nian's face turned red. Oh, this guy is thinking about it!"
Zhao Laonian, who was so tired that he had to pay for the oranges, had a silly smile on his dark red face. He said with a sullen grunt, "Buy some food for the two kids. Buy a pack of cigarettes for my wife, my wife."
The sound of booing followed.
After teasing this one, he teases that one.
Some people who care about their parents at home would just say when asked, "I go home and leave the money to my mother. My younger brother has to build a house and get married in the spring."
Some down-to-earth people don't care whether the things in the capital are good or not. They won't buy anything and will go straight to the train station to go home. They say they will leave the preparations for the New Year to their wives at home.
There are also those who love to play. As soon as they get paid, they will ask their coworkers to come and work with them: "Let's go back and play a few rounds."
Anyway, no matter who was asked, no matter what the answer was, it couldn't hide the excitement on those dark red faces.
The driver was already used to these workers, so he laughed too.
The bus stopped near the train station, and burly men carrying their luggage got off the bus one after another.
A group of people ran straight into the street with the note given by Bi Cheng in their hands.
Some people hurriedly queued up to buy tickets at the train station, but if they couldn't buy one, they wouldn't go back to the dormitory and would just squat at the station.
The driver smiled and waved goodbye to everyone, then he immediately engaged the parking brake and returned to take on the next group.
He was very happy. He was just staying there anyway, so his boss gave him an extra hundred yuan for the past few days and even thanked him for his hard work.
You know what, the female boss is very humane.
…
Bi Yue, who returned home early, still did not receive a call from Chu Yifeng at the end of 1986. This was the longest time gap.
She analyzed that her husband must be doing high-risk and high-security work again.
Every time I think about this, my stomach gets restless, so I don't dare to think too deeply about it. I tell myself that thinking will only cause more trouble, and no news is good news.
But Bi Yue never expected that after the new year, around mid-February, the verdict of the largest drug trafficking case in nearly three decades would come from the hands of her lover.
The reason why her Chu Yifeng didn't contact her at the moment was because he was doing this.
Chu Yifeng secretly left the country twice and lay in wait for a long time. He lost a bowl of fat from his calf and sacrificed two police officers and a special forces soldier.
As ordinary people, we only see reports about the verdict in the newspapers, but we have no idea how many people shed blood and sacrificed their lives for this moment, and how many people have buried the thrilling moment before their eyes.
Liu Yafang, wearing an apron and holding a freshly opened can of yellow peaches, walked into the house. She was also quite puzzled and asked, "Where did Yifeng go? Didn't he know his family was worried about him? Or why not ask your father-in-law?"
Bi Yue shook her head. "That's just how it is for soldiers. There aren't phones everywhere these days, so it's impossible to make calls wherever you go."
"Well, then. Don't overthink it. When those two and your aunt and uncle arrive, we'll cook something and eat something to fill our stomachs. Has everyone else left? Have they all gone to the train station to buy tickets?"
Bi Yue only sipped the sugary water with a spoon; she wasn't hungry at all. She always kept snacks in her schoolbag. When her uncle was mentioned, Bi Yue glanced at her mother.
Liu Yafang glared at her: "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Give my uncle a two thousand bonus, is that too little?"
"What's going on?" Liu Yafang's butt just touched the edge of the sofa and she started jumping up again:
"What's the point of giving him those? Everything he wears and uses now, including your aunt's, I bought for him on the street.
Besides, your aunt earns a lot of money by selling fruits, cigarettes and alcohol in your shed. You pay her and her husband a thousand yuan a month. What else can they do?
Just give him 320 yuan as a token of appreciation, and consider it as New Year's money for your younger brother."
Bi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't too little, it was fine. Don't look down on her uncle, including Dacheng, they are all family.
It’s just that it’s hard to get our own talents. Because if they have ideas, they won’t speak them out, which directly makes them dissatisfied and disappointed.
"Mom, my uncle works from the moment he starts at the construction site in the morning until the workers leave at night, and he doesn't even take a break at noon. Honestly, his supervision method saves time, which means he can save me at least 20,000 yuan in expenses."
"Twenty thousand? That much?"
"So what do you think? Building one more floor makes a big difference. Food, drink, and toilet all cost money. Every time a truck moves on the construction site, that also costs money. Okay, that's all. I'm mainly worried that he'll be unhappy if he gets less during the New Year, and he'll cry to you and my dad, and we can't bear it."
Liu Yafang couldn't help laughing and sat back on the sofa.
You see, she said that, but she was very happy that her brother had made progress and her daughter was getting along well with her uncle:
"You're saying this is really strange. Your uncle was lazy and cunning when he was at home, but how come he has become more and more successful after coming to Kyoto?
What do you learn from whom?
I bought him some good pants. He shouldn't have wasted his money because he couldn't wear them at the construction site.
When I made you a cotton-padded jacket, I also made one for your aunt. She was so embarrassed that she insisted on giving me the money for the cotton. I wasn't so meticulous in the past, was I?
We just give away the unwanted clothes at the construction site for free. Can I ask her for money for the cotton?
And your uncle, your father used to look down on your uncle. Humph, he argued with me and said your uncle was arrogant and so on. Look how much more forceful he is now.
