Hearing what Xue Shuqin said, Lu Lu's heart skipped a beat.
I just heard from Raymond's daughters that Raymond went to work at the Honghua 100 planting base. At this time, it was the pulp cutting period of Honghua 100... Thinking of this, he suddenly had a very bad idea.
premonition.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Lu Lu asked quickly.
"Brother Meng has been locked up by the guards for five days. He is said to have stolen Honghua 100 cigarette cream and is waiting for review. However, Brother Meng is definitely not that kind of person. I went to see the superiors the day before yesterday.
, said that they were still investigating this matter... they didn't say anything else, they just kept driving me outside.
I am a woman, and I don’t have much ability. I can’t respond to requests every day, and I can’t respond to requests from the earth and the earth. This matter can be big or small. Once it gets stained, it may be stained for life. To say it is more serious, it will be taken at any time.
Damn it!
Big brother, help me think of a way to save Brother Meng!"
Xue Shuqin couldn't stop crying and said to Lu Lu almost pleadingly.
How could she not know that Lu Lu was no longer on the farm? How could she not know that even though Lu Lu was on the farm, his most important relationship was with Raymond, and no one else could reach him?
But now, Raymond is no longer the field director.
Lu Lu had no one he could talk to at the farm. The people he knew well were just ordinary workers.
Xue Shuqin now turned back to Lu Lu for help. There was absolutely nothing she could do. She was just like a drowning person. She was just busy scratching around to see if she could grab a straw to save her life, even if the hope was slim.
The planting base of Honghua No. 100 belongs to the branch sideline team. It is located on the black soil in the northwest corner of the farm. In order to facilitate management and maintenance, the selected place is remote and secretive. It is surrounded by dense virgin forest. It is a lush, leafy place.
A good place with plenty of soil and water.
Lu Lu stayed in the sideline team for a long time. He himself was once assigned by Raymond to be responsible for the management and harvesting of the safflower 100 planting base.
What is Red Flower 100? It’s a big smoke peach.
July and August are the harvest season when the large tobacco peaches grow plump and plump, and the "milk" inside can flow out of the fingers.
Cutting pulp from big tobacco peaches is a technical job.
First of all, you need to prepare tools: put wood or bamboo slices on both sides of a small blade, and tie them together with a small rope.
The wood chips on both sides should be even, and the blade should be exposed a little at the front to cut large peaches. The amount of blade exposure determines the quality of the cut peaches. If the cut is deep, the peach will be cut through and scrapped. If it is cut shallow, the peach will be cut.
, and the milk cannot flow out. The amount of exposure of the blade must be just right so that the milk can flow out to the maximum extent.
The so-called pulp cutting is to gently hold the big cigarette up and down with one hand, and use a knife to draw a circle along the middle surface with the other hand.
A large tobacco peach can be cut several times until it stops flowing.
Cutting pulp must be done very well.
Also prepare a small bucket for holding the slurry.
When working, two people need to cooperate well. The person in front cuts the peaches, and the person behind smears the pulp with hands and scrapes the pulp into the small bucket.
The two of you have to keep a good distance when working, neither too close nor too far.
In other words, it is best when the breastmilk after cutting is completely drained without dripping.
Before Lu Lu was assigned to manage the safflower planting base, he was assigned to familiarize himself with the work processes inside.
He was young and had nimble hands and feet. It only took him two days to cut the pulp quickly and well. However, the person who cooperated with the pulping could not keep up. He had to cut a section and wait for a while, otherwise
When the slurry falls to the ground, it is a huge waste, and every drop is money.
In order to achieve the maximum benefit, the base had to adjust the pulp cutting personnel every day, with fast workers being matched with fast workers and slow workers with slow workers. In the end, Lu Lu directly became a fast worker in pulp cutting with an experienced veteran employee, and he was also commended and received awards.
At the end of every day, the pulp in the pulp bucket is required to be weighed and poured cleanly into a large bucket. The purpose is to measure the efficiency of each person's work, and more importantly, to prevent others from stealing the pulp. This is a criminal act.
The large barrels of paddles are specially collected by the custodians, and then placed in a specific area to dry until the milky white slurry turns into a black paste, resembling a Chinese medicine ball. It is considered to be dry. Then it is taken away by special public security personnel.
.
Lu Lu was very familiar with this whole process.
But it is precisely because of familiarity that I understand the seriousness of the matter better.
If you get involved with this thing, nothing good will happen.
As the former field director, how could Raymond not know this?
Lu Lu believes that Raymond is not this kind of person!
Stealing cigarette cream is a life-threatening matter!
When Lu Lu was managing the Honghua 100 planting base, there was an incident where someone took a desperate risk and hid tobacco juice secretly, and was caught by the security guard.
It was a young man who fled to the wilderness by himself. Before liberation, he was a young man from a wealthy family. Under the supervision of the guards, he secretly wiped the tobacco pulp on his clothes when he was applying pulp. After returning, he washed the clothes with water and then used them again.
The washed water is put on fire to boil, the water evaporates, and finally becomes smoke paste, which is really painstaking.
This guy is already quite old, and he used to be a drug addict. Seeing this slurry got him hooked, and he was guarded by dozens of guards around him, yet he dared to do something like this.
Every time he took out a little bit, he really accumulated a lot of it.
Unfortunately, when measuring, the problem arises when comparing the area of the cut pulp and the weight of the obtained flue pulp, and there is a huge disparity.
After discovering the problem, I found him at home at night. Good guy, he was having a hard time!
If the quantity is too large, you can imagine the result: you will be shot.
When cutting pulp, it was normal to have some tobacco pulp stained on your clothes every day as you walked around among the dense cigarette peaches. However, as this method was expanded and used, so much was accumulated, the nature has completely changed.
.
And now, Raymond is being imprisoned, not because of tobacco liquid, but because of tobacco paste, which is even more serious.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me the process carefully, and we will figure out a solution later!"
Xue Shuqin's story was vague and unclear. You have to understand what happened so that you can take the right medicine.
Xue Shuqin looked around cautiously: "Brother, come into the house with me!"
Lu Lu knew her intention, but he was still afraid of being overheard, so he quickly followed Xue Shuqin into the house.
Xue Shuqin stuck her head out and looked outside again, then closed the door and even drew the curtains.
The already dark room suddenly became dark again.
"This incident is very strange. Just the day before Raymond was imprisoned, the tobacco pulp harvesting was over. When Raymond was weighing the tobacco pulp and pouring it into the vat and preparing to leave, the administrator asked him to help lift the vat.
When we arrived at the drying yard, the next day, we found that the amount of tobacco paste was wrong and reported that the tobacco paste had been stolen.
Following the lead of Field Director Wang, they went to search, and found a ball of flattened tobacco paste inside the urala grass spread on Raymond's bed at the planting base, which was as big as a fist. Therefore, Raymond was determined
He was imprisoned for concealing tobacco paste. It is said that the amount of tobacco paste that was lost was not just that small, and it must be strictly investigated.
That man surnamed Wang goes to interrogation every day to force Raymond to explain clearly where the other tobacco pastes are... isn't this trying to force people to die?"
As Xue Shuqin talked, her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
A ball as big as a fist!
When Lu Lu heard this amount, his heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. With such a large amount, once it was confirmed, he would inevitably die!
He fell silent for a moment.
This matter is indeed very strange. It is not possible to secretly apply some tobacco paste on your clothes, let alone go directly to the drying yard to steal the dried tobacco paste. Anyone who is not a fool would not do that! How could Raymond do this?
Don't know its seriousness?
"What about the administrator?" Lu Lu asked with a frown.
"The administrator was also imprisoned for three days, but no matter how he searched, no problem was found, so he was released again. He insisted that only Raymond had entered the drying yard that day, and it must have been Raymond who did it.
, and something else was found in Raymond's mattress... I can't explain it clearly.
In the past two days, even my home has been searched twice by the man named Wang and his guards! I asked for help everywhere, including other leaders of the farm, but no one dared to speak for me."
Xue Shuqin wiped away her tears and broke down in tears after speaking.
"Then Brother Meng's old leader...have you ever looked for him?"
This man was the leader of the company where Raymond was in the army. When he arrived at the farm, it was precisely because of his guidance and Raymond's hard work that he became the field leader.
The last time I came to Yan's Nest Island, Lu Lu invited Raymond to Xiushan Village. It was because Raymond was grateful for his support as an old leader and refused to leave easily.
Lu Lu is aware of these things, but now that the old leader has retired long ago, he still sticks to some of the words he said back then. Even though he has grown from a branch office to an ordinary employee, he still sticks to it.
.
This is a very complex and sincere emotion, and Raymond was greatly affected by him. Even if he wronged himself, he would not let it go.
"I can't get out at all!" Xue Shuqin shook her head repeatedly, frustrated and helpless to the extreme: "Whoever sees me now is like seeing the god of plague!"
Lu Lu probably understood why when he came this time, there were so many guards along the way from the field, asking questions everywhere. In the past, it was just to strengthen the guards at the Honghua No. 100 planting base.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will think of a way... Who is the manager of the drying yard?"
Lu Lu thought for a moment and asked.
There is less tobacco paste in the drying area. Who else is most accessible besides the manager? We must first find a breakthrough from the manager involved.
Lu Lu suspected that this was simply a frame-up!
"Ji Yuansheng!" Xue Shuqin said without hesitation.
"Old Ji!"
Lu Lu knew this man, he was an old employee. As early as when Lu Lu was still an educated youth on the farm, he was the manager of the drying yard. When Lu Lu was responsible for managing the slurry harvesting, the handover was completed with him.
He has a lot of dealings with him, and he is also a demobilized veteran.
In Lu Lu's impression, he was a very serious person who always abided by the rules and did things strictly, and never made any mistakes.
"How could it be him?"
When Lu Lu heard this name, he began to murmur in his heart. The Ji Yuansheng he knew was not someone who would do such a thing.
Moreover, although he is the administrator, his job is only to dry the cigarette paste, and he has to be searched by guards every day when he comes in and out.
When he thought about it carefully, things seemed to make no sense.
But the problem is, it happened. The most terrible thing is that tobacco paste was found in the urala grass on Raymond's bed.
You must know that after the strict management in the later period, during the period of collecting tobacco pulp, the people involved in pulp cutting have been living in the planting base, but unlike before, anyone could be arranged to go in and work. As long as they were searched and there was no problem, they could enter and exit. When commuting to and from get off work, it is better to stay at home.
If it wasn't Raymond himself, who would have put the things on his bed?
What's even more troublesome is that that place has been under martial law ever since it was cut, and no one is allowed to go near it.
Lu Lu couldn't figure it out and seemed unable to intervene.
"Sister-in-law, please wait while I think of a solution. If I can help, I will try my best to help!"
Lu Lu could only comfort him first.
Who knows, when he came out of Raymond's house and just returned to the vicinity of the straw house, he saw that the straw house had been surrounded by people. The leader was the branch surnamed Wang who replaced Raymond last year.
