On the way back, when a group of people passed by a corner, the cloth bag used by one of them to cover the basket was blown up by the wind. The person behind him suddenly saw the cigarettes and candies placed inside.
Then he also opened his own cloth bag, and there was something inside. He called out to Cao Xishan: "Brother Dashan, Brother Dashan."
"What's the matter?" Cao Xishan turned his head.
The man pointed to the things in the box and said, "Inside."
Cao Xishan looked at the cigarettes and candies in the bag and said, "This little brother is still so polite. Since he gave it to you, just keep it and go home to give it to your children."
A group of men who originally came to help out on a voluntary basis did not expect an unexpected gain this time and went home happily.
After returning home, the group of helpers could not help but say to their mother-in-law: "This little comrade from outside is a person who knows how to do things and is someone to be trusted with."
Zhang Yu waited until they were no longer visible before taking out the things he had prepared from the space.
As soon as he took it out, he slapped himself on the head and said, "I'll go, I'm stupid today."
Thousands of calculations have been made, and every detail has been considered again and again to ensure that no trace is left.
Even the excuses and various purchase certificates were correct, but one thing was forgotten.
In this barren mountain, where could he call someone to pick up the goods?
"Zhang Yu, your brain is crazy, is it short-circuited? Let's see how you get the things back in an honest manner." He pointed at his nose and cursed.
He never expected that the most difficult steps had been passed, but the simplest thing was ignored.
Not to mention that there is no village nearby, even if there is a village, judging from the situation nearby, it is unlikely that the wires will be pulled out and a telephone installed.
Now that it's over, what is he going to do? Should he ride back? Should he put these things back into the space? If so, what reason will he use to take them out?
After thinking for a long time, I put my things in the space and looked around, trying to find a place nearby where I could temporarily store supplies.
After searching for a long time, I found a dilapidated cabin in a relatively hidden place. It seemed that it was used by pedestrians to rest in the past.
He opened the door with the idea of giving it a try. As soon as he opened the door, a puff of dust floated out, choking him and coughing for a long time.
The cabin is relatively intact, and it can be seen from the thick dust that no one has lived here for a long time.
There was no furniture inside, only a fire pit built with heads, and a few logs spread in the corner, which should have been used as beds. The rotten grass on them once again proved that no one had been here for a long time.
He found a broom from the space and briefly cleaned the dust in the room. He also found a sheet that was to be discarded and spread it on the floor, thus finding a temporary place for the things.
But even though he was sure that no one had been here for a long time, he didn't feel comfortable leaving things here like this.
When he was preparing to lead the way to load supplies, he found another reason to come in early and put the things inside.
In order to create the illusion that many people helped carry things here, he also wore different shoes, carried things of different weights, and walked back and forth several times in the uncleaned area outside the door.
After doing everything, he locked the door of the wooden house again, got on his bicycle with a grimace, and prepared to return to the suburbs.
He remembered that when he came yesterday, Team Leader Wang said that in order to save fuel, he should wait for two days in the suburbs, wait for everything to arrive, and then take it away together.
Now that I think about it, he should still be there in the suburbs. If he rushes back now, he might just like what he joked about, and he will be the one to haul the things this time.
Along the way, Zhang Yu didn't dare to stop or rest for a while, nor did he look around to enjoy the scenery, nor did he like to take a long detour instead of taking a slightly better route.
Instead, he used the nearest road planned on the map. As long as he could walk on it, he asked Meng to ride over. He didn't want to walk at night. With the environment in the 1950s and 1960s, who knew if there were any wild animals in these barren mountains. Finally, it was almost dark.
We arrived at the place where Team Leader Wang was.
Zhang Yu saw a truck parked in the yard from a distance. He wanted to go in but was stopped by an old man, "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, I'm looking for Team Leader Wang. I have something to do with him."
"Who is Team Leader Wang? I don't know him." The old man shook his head, indicating that he did not know this person, and continued to stop him from entering.
"That's the driver who drove yesterday."
"Tell him, he's not in there right now, he's resting in the guest house next door."
"Oh, okay, thank you, sir." Zhang Yu was about to turn around and go to the guest house next door.
"It's okay, just go quickly."
We walked to the guest house next door. This guest house was relatively small, with only three bungalows. Sitting on the counter at the door was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl knitting with her head down.
"Hello, comrade, may I ask if there is a driver staying at the guest house?"
"The driver, there was a guy who came yesterday." The girl put down the knitting in her hand, glanced at him, and saw that he didn't look like a bad person, she replied, and then continued knitting, "What do you want to do with him?"
?”
"I am his colleague, and I have something urgent to do with him."
"He lives in Room 102, No, that's the room." The girl gestured with her chin.
After Zhang Yu thanked him, he knocked on the door of 102, and a slightly hoarse voice came from inside. "Who is it?"
"Brother Wang, it's me, Zhang Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of people getting dressed inside, and Team Leader Wang shouted from inside: "Brother Zhang, please wait a moment, I will open the door right away."
Team leader Wang opened the door and saw a dusty and embarrassed Zhang Yu in disbelief, "What's wrong with you? What happened? Have you been robbed?"
"Brother Wang, don't mention it. After I purchased the supplies today, I remembered that there were no other villages nearby, let alone a call asking me to notify the factory to send someone to pull things. There is no other way. I'm panicking now.
Did you ride back in a panic?"
"You..." Team leader Wang didn't know what to say for a while. He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. Zhang Yu, whose attention was diverted, said that he had purchased a lot of things and asked: "Things,
is it a lot?"
"It's quite a lot. I guess your car will be full." Zhang Yu scratched his head and replied.
"What? A truck full of food." Team Leader Wang couldn't believe it at all. It wasn't that he didn't believe it. In this day and age, a truckload of grain meant a lot of things.
