Although I realize that Li Weidong is unlikely to bring any good news, it is always a happy thing for an old friend to come to comfort me.
Wang Erdan shouted to Zhang Xinghua: "Xinghua, hurry up and bring over two enamel jars of tea. Also, don't we have some fried peanuts at home? Hurry up and bring them over."
Tea is nothing, just waste a little firewood, but those peanuts are scarce and can be used to survive when food is scarce.
Zhang Xinghua was a little reluctant to take it out.
Snapped!
Although Li Weidong didn't mind and didn't look displeased, Wang Erdan slammed his fist on the table and said loudly: "What's the matter with you bitch? You're so busy doing something."
"Brother Erdan, what are you doing? I'm here today indeed about the news about the missing batch of grain in your village." Li Weidong was originally going to chat a few words and talk about household matters before getting down to the topic.
Now seeing the two couples having a conflict over a little peanut, they quickly waved their hands and said.
Wang Erdan knew that Li Weidong was not the kind of person who liked to joke around, so his expression became serious: "Brother Wei Dong, you really know who stole the food from our Can Village."
"It's a coincidence that a liar came to our brick kiln in Shuangshui Village today..." Li Weidong told Liu Shuanzhu's story, and then continued: "According to Liu Shuanzhu's explanation, it was the person in the county headed by Zhang Tiande who
It was done by a group of people. They have a junk shop on the outskirts of the county that they used as their hideout. Your food may have been hidden there before they even sold it."
"Zhang Tiande...I seem to have heard this name before when I visited the pigeon market. He is a famous rogue in the county. He got many of the food and items in the pigeon market. At that time, I was still suspicious.
, How could a scoundrel get so many things? I didn’t expect that he stole them all!”
Wang Erdanzi slammed his fist on the table and said loudly: "Okay, he dared to steal on the heads of our Can Village people. This time he will definitely show how powerful he is."
As he spoke, Wang Erdan stood up and wanted to call in the militia. Li Weidong waved his hand to stop him: "Erdan, don't be anxious. Tell me about the theft of food from beginning to end."
This sudden request made Wang Erdan stunned. After he figured it out, he took a deep look at Li Weidong: "Brother Weidong, do you mean there is an internal agent from Zhang Tiande in our Can Village?"
Li Weidong sat up straight and said with a smile: "Although I am not from your Can Village, I also know that for precious things like food, your Can Village must be very tightly protected. If there are unfamiliar faces around the granary on weekdays, your Can Village
The militiamen will definitely find out. Zhang Tiande is from the county town, and his gang has been operating in the county town. They should have never been to Can Village, let alone know where you hide the food. How could they slander and enter Can Village? Who knows?
He stole more than five hundred kilograms of grain without realizing it!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Erdan's expression changed.
Although he didn't believe that there was Zhang Tiande's traitor in Can Village, he still told the whole story.
Because of the severe drought in Huangyuan this year, several surrounding villages are short of food. Can Village has more water and land, so it has not been greatly affected. However, the leaders of Can Village also realized that in the case of food shortage, the surrounding villages
Members may do some irrational things.
So they moved the grain to an abandoned cave dwelling in the middle of the village in advance and sent out militiamen to take turns guarding it. Only a few people knew about these things.
Those people are trustworthy.
I thought this would be foolproof, but who knew that the militiamen guarding the food would be knocked unconscious and the food would be stolen.
After finishing speaking, Wang Erdan repeated: "Brother Wei Dong, please rest assured that our militiamen are all trustworthy comrades."
Li Weidong stared at Wang Erdan and said, "I believe you, we can set off."
Wang Erdan originally thought that it would take some time to convince Li Weidong, but he was a little confused when he heard this: "You just believe me so much?"
"Yes, you are not a simple person. Since you think there is no problem with those people, then there must be no problem. It's just that something went wrong somewhere else." Li Weidong is not the kind of suspicious person.
Besides, roads are needed to get from the village to the county seat these days, so it is not easy for ordinary people in Can Village to contact Zhang Tiande in the county seat.
In addition, the food in the village is lost, which does no good to the people living in the village.
Wang Erdan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Brother Wei Dong, I'm going to gather the militia right now. Can you come with me to the county seat later?"
"Of course. I was just thinking that Zhang Tiande, who has been able to dominate Huangyuan County for many years, actually has a few heads!"
Li Weidong has always believed in helping others to the end, so he agreed immediately.
With Li Weidong following him, Wang Erdan became more confident.
Although he firmly believed that there was no traitor in the village, in order to avoid leaking the news, Wang Erdan did not ring the big bell at the entrance of the village. Instead, he sent a few cronies to summon the militiamen to his home.
The militiamen who had just returned from the fields felt a little confused when they saw two outsiders, Li Weidong and Sun Lanhua, also there.
But after they heard the whole story, they all gritted their teeth.
"Damn Zhang Tiande, he dares to rob our Shuangshui Village of food. If we don't let him see how powerful he is, how can we people hold our heads high?"
"Yes, it's going to snow heavily soon. We have to get all the food back quickly."
"My marksmanship has improved recently, so I would like to take this opportunity to try my skills."
....
The militiamen were all young men, and they immediately became enthusiastic.
As the captain, Wang Erdan shouted: "Stand at attention!"
The team members immediately shut their mouths and fell silent, lined up in a long line, and puffed up their chests.
"Take a break!"
Wang Erdan's eyes slid over the faces of the team members, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone must be aware of the content of this mission. It is of great importance. I will repeat it again. The purpose of our trip to the county this time.
It’s to get back the stolen grain from our village. If Zhang Tiande and his gang dare to stop it, you don’t have to be polite to them. There is no restriction on the types of weapons, but I remind you, try not to take the other person’s life.”
Li Weidong listened and kept chattering. These people really dare to do it. There are no restrictions on weapons, which means they can use long guns...
"knew!"
After the team members finished their training, they all roared.
"Okay, now let's go to the village weapons room to get weapons, and then head to the county seat." Wang Erdan waved his hand and dismissed the team members.
Thirty minutes later, a strange team appeared on the loess road from Can Village to the county seat.
An old bullock cart was squeaking and swaying. Li Weidong was lying on the cart, and Sun Lanhua was sitting next to him, staring closely at Liu Shuanzhu who was tied into a rice dumpling.
Li Weidong originally didn't want to take Sun Lanhua to the county town with him. After all, this operation still had a certain degree of danger, but this girl, despite being delicate, had a somewhat stubborn personality.
Sun Lanhua couldn't get off the bullock cart because Pengzi didn't follow Li Weidong.
In addition, she had gone to a black scrap shop on the outskirts of the county to buy waste paper picked up from the roadside, so Li Weidong agreed.
Along the way, Wang Erdan was explaining to the team members how to attack the illegal junk shop later.
Li Weidong sat nearby and listened for a long time, almost laughing out loud. The tactics Wang Erdan explained for thirty minutes only came down to one sentence, which was to load the bullets, rush into the black waste point, and drive all those guys away.
"Erdan, if you do this, you will definitely make things bigger. Those people in the county will definitely not stand by and watch." Li Weidong reminded.
Hearing this, Wang Erdan felt as if a basin of water had been poured on his forehead, and he was momentarily speechless.
He held the old scalper that was wandering around and said with a frown, "Then what should we do? After rushing in, should we discuss it with Zhang Tiande in a good voice and ask him to return the food to our Can Village?
I think that guy will definitely not agree."
Li Weidong rolled his eyes at him: "Of course you can't do that. We have to capture the thief first!"
"What do you mean..." Wang Erdan frowned in thought.
Li Weidong continued; "Before taking action, we need to determine our primary goal. Our primary goal now is to recover the lost food. After completing this goal, we will consider other things, such as bringing Zhang Tiande and his gang together."
Send it to the county police station."
Wang Erdan has also received training. He already had an idea in his mind, but it was just vague. Now that he heard Li Weidong's analysis, his ideas quickly became clear.
He nodded heavily: "Brother Wei Dong, I listen to you!"
Sun Lanhua saw this scene from the side and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Wang Erdan is a well-known and powerful person within ten miles, especially because he has always been proud of his military qualities. Even Tian Haimin doesn't look down on him on weekdays.
Now in front of Li Weidong, he is almost like a primary school student. This is really incredible.
Li Weidong is just a workshop director!
What woman doesn’t want her man to be both civil and military?
.....
Huangyuan County is a poverty-stricken county that mainly relies on agriculture. The limited industries in the county include a lumber factory, a thermos bottle factory, and a machine repair shop that repairs tractors.
There are less than 20,000 jobs available, which means that most of the 70,000 to 80,000 residents in the county are unemployed.
Some diligent residents will choose to work as part-time workers, such as carrying goods in factories, purchasing some local products from the countryside and selling them at the pigeon market, or working as part-time workers in the municipal government.
Of course, these temporary positions are not only hard work, but also have low wages and low status, so some arrogant young people are unwilling to take them.
They like to rely on their parents to provide them with a worry-free life, and hang out in the market in groups.
They talk about brotherly loyalty, chase girls, and live a very carefree life.
It's just that these days soon became unbearable as their parents were disappointed in them and no longer provided material support.
Those young people have now become idle bastards, and they cannot bear to work conscientiously in the workshop.
When I was short of money, I made a bad idea.
At the very beginning, they guarded the entrance and exit of the pigeon market, and under the guise of being co-administrators, blackmailed people who came in and out of the pigeon market.
It's just that most of the people who hang out in the pigeon market are not easy to mess with, and they will be beaten up if they are not careful.
As a result, I didn't make any money and had to stay in bed for a while.
The Pigeon City Coordinator's path was blocked, so those gangsters broke into the houses of residents who had unlocked their doors at night, stole property, and rode stolen bicycle paths in the countryside to steal food.
In short, they will do whatever makes the most money.
Among them, a key position stands out.
That's the person responsible for selling stolen goods.
Zhang Tiande appeared at this time.
He is different from those idle workers who cannot find formal jobs.
His father and grandfather were both workers in the lumber factory, and had been praised by the factory leaders several times for their outstanding performance.
The walls of Zhang Tiande's home are covered with medals of advanced workers.
According to regulations, Zhang Tiande can also take over from his father and become an honorable worker in the future.
but.
Zhang Tiande has felt that being a worker is an embarrassing thing since he was a child.
Of course, this is just a figurative way of saying it. After all, at that time, Zhang Tiande didn't know how to write the word aggrieved, and he doesn't even know how to write it now...
In short, Zhang Tiande felt that workers had to enter the noisy workshop on time every day to work, and could only leave the workshop when the bell rang. Then every day's work would be the same, and every day's life would be the same.
When I got older, under the introduction of my neighbor's aunt, I married a woman with a strong physique, a loud voice, and a big butt. It was said that such a woman would be easy to give birth to.
Then I would have a few children and live a life of hesitation. When I got old and could no longer work, I would retire from the factory and squat in the sun at the entrance of the compound with a bunch of old people who could barely walk.
In the ground, the splendor of the past is told with the mouth of the wind.
Fart's brilliance is just that he has to carry more steel pipes and behave more actively.
This kind of day can be seen ending at a glance, which Zhang Tiande cannot tolerate.
He had always hoped to live the kind of life described in magazines.
correct.
Zhang Tiande's neighbor Er Pang, his father worked in the south, and I heard he sailed a large ship. Every time he came back, he would bring one or two foreign periodicals.
There are beautiful big cars in the journals, old foreign ladies in cool clothes, and various high-rise buildings.
Of course, this kind of journal is the top secret of Erpang's family. Even Erpang secretly stole it from under the bed and would never pass it on to others.
But after Zhang Tiande accidentally learned about it, he just used a small trick to get Er Pang to hand over the journals willingly.
The so-called method is to help Er Pang get in touch with Xiu'er, whom he likes.
Call it a matchmaker, he led Erpang to block Xiuer's path when she was leaving school, and then kicked Erpang in front of Xiuer.
It was very simple and very fast, but it gave Zhang Tiande enough journals to open a new door in his life.
This shows that Zhang Tiande has been good at matchmaking since he was a child.
