The next day, at dawn, Li Donglai couldn't wait to come to the steel rolling mill laboratory.
He had not slept all night, and although his eyes were a little tired, they were full of anticipation. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Captain Zhang sorting documents in the office.
"Team Zhang, how's the situation?" Li Donglai asked eagerly.
Captain Zhang put down the documents in his hands and stood up with a pleased smile on his face: "Donglai, according to our plan, the operation last night was successful. We successfully arrested Zhang Lihua, and all her minions were also caught.
Already."
When Li Donglai heard this, his tense nerves finally relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's great! It's really you, Captain Zhang."
"Haha, this is not my fault alone, everyone contributed." Team Zhang said with a smile, "After we caught Zhang Lihua, we handed her over according to the procedures. The people above are experienced and can definitely handle it.
The ins and outs of this matter were clearly investigated, and the forces behind her were uncovered."
Li Donglai nodded: "Yes, I feel more relieved when the people above are investigating. It's really thanks to you this time. Without your careful organization and arrangements, it would be difficult for us to catch Zhang Lihua so smoothly and protect our
Scientific research results and new energy information. Thank you very much."
Captain Zhang waved his hand: "What are you talking about? Donglai. This is what we should do. It is the responsibility of each of us to protect the interests of the factory and the country's scientific research results. This time it can be regarded as a warning to those who try to sabotage our plans.
A heavy blow to the people.”
Li Donglai and Captain Zhang smiled at each other, and a big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They knew that they would wait for the investigation results from above, and believed that the truth would soon come to light.
In the dark and small room of Jia's family, Mrs. Jia Zhang was slumped on a chair, her face as pale as paper. She had just learned the news that Zhang Lihua had been arrested, and the news hit her like a thunderbolt from the blue.
In her heart, she fell into a huge panic.
Qin Huairu was busy cleaning up the house. Seeing Jia Zhang's lost look, she was filled with doubts. She stopped what she was doing and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? It's your body.
Uncomfortable?"
Jia Zhang was startled by Qin Huairu's voice, looked at her in panic, and stammered: "No...nothing, I just...suddenly missed my old sister from home, I...I
I want to go back and see her."
When Qin Huairu heard this, her face was full of surprise. She knew very well what kind of person Jia Zhang was. Ever since she married into the Jia family for so many years, she had never heard her mention returning to her natal family, let alone actually going back. Qin Huai
Although Ru had doubts in her heart, she did not show it.
He showed it and just said: "Mom, why did you suddenly think of this? You haven't been back for so many years, and you don't know what your hometown is like now. Besides, life in the countryside is hard, how can we be here?
It’s comfortable in the city.”
Jia Zhang's heart skipped a beat. She knew Qin Huairu was suspicious, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "I just miss my old sister. It's hard, I'll just go back and stay for a few days, see her and then come back."
"
Qin Huairu secretly thought that Jia Zhang would be lazy here all day long and not do any work. If she could really go back to her parents' house to stay for a while, she would be a lot more relaxed. But she still pretended to persuade: "Mom, you
Do you really want to go back? Then you have to think carefully about the hassle of going back and forth, and what should you do if there is someone you are not used to in your hometown?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang waved her hands impatiently: "You don't have to worry about it, I know what I know." She is now preoccupied with Zhang Lihua's arrest. She just wants to leave here quickly and avoid possible troubles. How can she have the time to talk to Qin Huai?
Ru Luo.
Qin Huairu was secretly happy in her heart and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly, but she quickly covered it up. In order to completely clear up the relationship and let everyone in the hospital know that Jia Zhang was leaving, she ran to the door of her house and said:
She shouted loudly: "Everyone, come and take a look. Mom said she is going back to her hometown to visit her old sister!"
This voice was like dropping a huge boulder on a calm lake, causing a thousand waves in an instant. The surrounding residents heard the sound and walked out of their houses one after another. After a while, a large circle of people gathered at the door.
.
"Hey, Mr. Jia and Zhang are going back to the countryside? Has the sun come out in the west?"
"That's right, don't you know what Jia Zhang is like in our hospital? She is lazy and lazy all day, and she doesn't even do her own work. Why does she suddenly want to go back to the countryside?"
"Is there something wrong? She is staying well here. There is no reason to go back to the countryside. It is much harder there than here."
"Huh, maybe I can't stay in the city anymore."
"With her virtue, she probably got into some trouble and wanted to run back to the countryside and hide."
Everyone was talking about each other, and everyone was incredible at Jia Zhang's decision. Qin Huairu stood in the middle of the crowd, with a trace of imperceptible pride on her face. She pretended to be helpless and said: "I
I also persuaded my mother, saying that life in the countryside is hard, but even if my mother is determined to go back, there is nothing I can do." Her words made everyone's curiosity reach the peak, and they all speculated about Jia Zhang's return.
The real reason for rural areas.
The third uncle stood in the crowd, looking at more and more people gathering, frowning slightly, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Let's all leave, let's leave! The Jia Zhang family is going back to the countryside.
It's your own decision, why are we talking here? If she leaves, our compound will be cleaner." After hearing what the third uncle said, everyone gradually dispersed, although they were still a little curious.
Silly Zhu frowned at the side. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. He did not follow the crowd, but jogged all the way to Li Donglai's house. As soon as he entered the door, he said breathlessly: "Donglai, I
I think there is something wrong with Jia Zhang. You said that she has not mentioned returning to the countryside for so many years, and now she suddenly wants to leave, there must be something wrong."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Donglai smiled slightly. Of course he knew in his heart that Jia Zhang was afraid that Zhang Lihua would confess her, so he wanted to run away. But now the production of minicomputers in the factory has been fully started.
His mind was focused on this, and he really didn't have the energy to care about Jia Zhang's affairs anymore. He waved his hand and said: "Silly Zhu, don't worry about her. If she wants to leave, just let her go. You go and help her find it."
A donkey cart to give her a ride."
Silly Zhu scratched his head: "Okay, come east, then I'll find a car for her." After saying that, he turned around and went out, ran to the next door yard to find a donkey cart, and pulled it to the front of Jia's house.
After lunch, Mrs. Jia Zhang walked out of the house in a hurry carrying a baggage. Her eyes were a little flustered, and she looked back from time to time, as if she was afraid that someone would catch up. Qin Huairu followed, her face
He pretended to be reluctant to leave, took Ms. Jia Zhang's hand and said, "Mom, you have to take good care of yourself when you go. If you don't get used to staying in your hometown, come back early."
Mrs. Jia Zhang impatiently shook off Qin Huairu's hand: "I know, I know, I'm not a child." After saying that, she climbed onto the donkey cart.
…
It seems that if you delay any longer, your trip will be delayed.
The coachman Lao Wang accepted the twenty cents handed over by Qin Huairu and muttered: "Okay, let's go!" Then he drove the donkey cart and set off. The donkey cart slowly left along the small road in the capital.
The wheel made two shallow tracks on the ground.
Sitting in the car, Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't say anything at first, but she didn't go far before she started complaining: "Oh, what a broken car, it knocked me to death. Lao Wang, can't you drive more steadily?"
"
Lao Wang replied angrily: "This is a donkey cart, and it's not your sedan. Can you not ride it? You can just sit on it."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she became even more excited: "Huh, what's your attitude? I paid to hire you, so you have to make me feel comfortable. And this donkey cart is so dirty that it hasn't been cleaned for I don't know how long it has been.
." She said while covering her nose with a handkerchief, with a look of disgust on her face.
When Lao Wang heard this, he became angry: "You old woman, you have so many things to do. If you think it's dirty, don't sit on it. I just gave you 20 cents. Why do you want to sit on a good car?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't care and continued to curse: "And you, look at how sloppy you are, your clothes are in tatters, you smell like you, and you don't know how to wash them."
Lao Wang couldn't bear it anymore. He stopped the donkey cart suddenly, picked up his whip and waved it in the air. There was a crisp "pop" sound, which made Jia Zhang tremble. Lao Wang said angrily: "You old man
You scoundrel, if you keep nagging me, I will kick you off right now and let you walk back by yourself."
Jia Zhang was immediately frightened when she saw Lao Wang's angry eyes and raised whip. She shrank her neck and muttered in a low voice: "Huh, if you don't want to sit down, you won't sit down. What's the big deal?" But in the end, she didn't.
He dared to continue scolding, but he still let out a few dissatisfied grunts from time to time.
Lao Wang glared at her and drove the donkey cart forward again, muttering: "It's really unlucky to meet such an unreasonable master." Mrs. Jia Zhang sat in the cart, although she did not dare to complain loudly.
, but still frowning from time to time
The donkey cart bumped forward on the dirt road, and the dust raised dragged a long tail at the rear of the cart. After an unknown amount of time, we finally arrived at Zhangjiazhuang, fifty or sixty miles away from the capital.
Sitting in the car, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at the strange and familiar scenes around her, trying hard to search for memories of her old sister's home in her mind, but found nothing. The donkey cart slowly stopped at the entrance of the village, Mrs. Jia Zhang was extremely reluctant.
After getting off the car, she dusted herself off and scanned the village, trying to find someone to ask for directions.
It happened that there were several commune members working at the entrance of the village. Mrs. Jia Zhang walked over arrogantly and shouted at the top of her voice: "Hey, you guys, come here!" The commune members stopped what they were doing and frowned.
He frowned and looked at this old woman who was wearing city clothes but behaved vulgarly.
Jia Zhang didn't wait for them to speak, and she couldn't wait to speak: "Let me ask you, where is Zhang Xiufang's home? I'm from the city, and this time I came to visit her home." She deliberately mentioned "city people" as three
He said the word very strongly, and his eyes were full of arrogance.
After hearing this, a young member looked displeased and said, "Who are you? We are busy and don't have time to help you find it." The other members nodded and continued working.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she was furious: "You country people, why are you so rude? I asked you to take me there because I look up to you. Stop working and take me there immediately!" Her voice was high-pitched and high-pitched.
echoed at the entrance to the village.
The members were all angered by her domineering attitude. One of the older members stood up, pointed in the direction of the village entrance and said loudly: "You old woman, you are so shameless! We don't welcome you here, you
Go back to where you came from!"
Jia Zhang was so angry that her face turned red. She jumped on her feet and shouted: "Do you know who I am? I am Zhang Erniu. I was the first person in Zhangjiazhuang to marry into the city. Now I am a city citizen.
, how dare you do this to me?"
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, the young members were stunned for a moment, and then after thinking carefully, they vaguely remembered the name Zhang Erniu. But they were still worried about Jia Zhang's domineering appearance just now, so even if they knew
No one knew who she was, and no one was willing to pay attention to her. They just gave Jia Zhang a cold look, and then continued to work on their own hands, as if Jia Zhang was like a ball of air.
Mrs. Jia Zhang stood there, neither advancing nor retreating. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and kept mumbling curse words. At this time, the production team leader came over from the field with a hoe on his shoulder, frowning.
I looked at the Jia and Zhang family, and then at those social organizations.
Member, he probably understood what was going on. Although he was also very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's behavior, he was from the same village after all, and Jia Zhang didn't seem to have any bad intentions, he was just spoiled by the life in the city.
, some don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.
The production team leader put down his hoe and said to Mrs. Jia Zhang: "Okay, stop yelling here, I'll take you to Xiufang's house." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately put away the angry look on her face and turned to
With a proud expression on her face, she glanced at the members, as if to say: "Huh, the captain still knows the general idea." Then she followed the production captain swaggering towards the village.
Along the way, the production team leader didn't say a word to Jia Zhang, and just walked in silence. Jia Zhang, however, didn't have much insight, and kept talking about how good life was in the city and how backward the village was.
The production team leader's brows furrowed even more.
Listening to Jia Zhang's harsh and ostentatious words, the production team leader felt the anger rising in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly and slowly loosened them, trying not to have an attack. He remained silent all the way.
Finally, Jia Zhang was brought to the door of Zhang Xiufang's house.
"We're here, this is Zhang Xiufang's house." The production team leader said expressionlessly, and then turned and left without looking back. He really didn't want to spend another second with this annoying old woman.
At this time, the coachman Lao Wang was about to drive away in the donkey cart. Seeing this, Jia Zhang rushed forward and stopped the donkey cart. Lao Wang was startled and quickly tightened the reins: "You old woman, you want to go again?"
what?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Old Wang, you can't just leave like this. Look, your donkey cart came all the way and crushed the roads in the village. You have to pay for it!"
Lao Wang's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face: "What are you talking about? This road is not easy to walk on, so what does my donkey cart have to do with it? Besides, I sent you here and only charged you two cents, how can I pay you back?
Can I compensate you again?"
He finally understood that this old pious woman wanted to blackmail her.
