Chapter 757 The Sheep Soup Restaurant on Pingliang Road
It was already past eight o'clock when the rehearsal ended.
After coming out of school, the female students participating in the rehearsal walked together in twos and threes.
Someone greeted and said, "Shen Xue, let's go together?"
Shen Xue carried the piano case on her back, stood next to Shen Zhifeng, and said generously: "No, my friend will take me back."
The female students laughed and left, looking back at Shen Zhifeng from time to time.
After getting in the car, Shen Xue said: "By the way, you know my name, but I don't know yours yet."
"Shen Zhifeng." Shen Zhifeng said.
"Zhifeng, what two words?"
"What comes after is a sharp edge."
"What's your line of work? Are you really a soldier?"
Shen Zhifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I work in a foreign company."
Shen Xue snorted, leaned back and said, "If I believe that the Baihe River flows westward, I will believe that you work in a foreign company! I don't want to give up."
On the surface, Shen Xue seems carefree and careless. In fact, Shen Xue is the kind of person who is as wise as a fool. She is a very smart girl.
Shen Xue quickly resumed her joking, and she also figured out that she and Shen Zhifeng had only known each other for a few days, so there was no need to worry about this kind of thing.
Compared with most girls of the same age, Shen Xue talks too much, but for Shen Zhifeng, it is a rare way to relieve boredom.
When the car arrived at No. 7 Tongzeli, there was a General Iron guard on the door.
Shen Xue hurriedly touched her pocket and said angrily: "It's broken, I forgot to bring the key!"
Shen Zhifeng said: "It's so late, your parents aren't home?"
"Normally...Oh, I remembered, my father went fishing, and my mother must have picked me up from school again!"
"Fishing at night?"
"I heard from my mother that he went there in the afternoon."
"Where to fish?"
"It's not far from the pier. I've been there with him twice...why hasn't he come back yet?"
Shen Xue was a little worried. Her father was old and the Baihe area was remote. Don't let anything happen to her...
Shen Zhifeng was also idle with nothing to do. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. If you are worried, I will go with you to pick it up."
"How can this be good? It's too troublesome..."
"It doesn't matter. Since we are friends, we should help each other."
"Brother Shen, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Shen Zhifeng turned the car around and sped away in the direction of Baihe, barely using Shen Xue to guide him along the way, and the car quickly entered Pingliang Road.
Shen Xue sincerely praised: "In just two days, I have become familiar with Yanjin. Brother Shen, you are awesome!"
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "It's not even familiar to me. I happened to have been on this road just now."
"Oh, that's right. Let me just say, it takes some time to get used to it... Hey, stop the car!"
"What's wrong?"
"My dad!"
The car stopped by the side of the road, and Shen Xue hurriedly got out of the car. An old man in his fifties squatted under the street lamp, with a fish basket in front of him.
"Dad, what are you doing!" Shen Xue ran over.
"Xue'er? Why are you here?" Father Shen was surprised.
"Don't ask me yet, what are you doing?"
"Hey, just now, your dad and I caught a yellow croaker weighing more than two kilograms. Unexpectedly, my hand slipped and I let go. I hurried to catch it, but I didn't pay attention and stepped into the water. Oh, what a bad luck.
.”
Only then did Shen Xue notice that her father's thousand-layer cloth shoes were covered with mud and water. He was sitting on the street and was about to take off his shoes and squeeze some water out of them.
"Why bother to make yourself look like this just for a fish!" Shen Xue knelt down and looked at her father's wet shoes, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Father Shen cheered and said, "It's hard to find fish in the sea, so I'm going to make you some fish soup to replenish your health."
Shen Xue had tears in her eyes and didn't know what to say.
Seeing the affection between father and daughter, Shen Zhifeng was somewhat moved. He stepped closer and said, "Shen Xue, there is a shoe store not far ahead. Go and buy a pair of shoes and socks for your father to put on."
Father Shen looked at Shen Zhifeng in confusion, then at Shen Xue, and said, "Xue'er, this gentleman is..."
"A friend." Shen Xueyin said too much. She was in a hurry to buy shoes for her father.
Shen Zhifeng looked around and saw the mutton soup restaurant opposite, so he said to Father Shen: "Old sir, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Father Shen nodded. He was actually cold and hungry now. He just didn't want his daughter to worry.
"Let's go and have a bowl of mutton soup to warm ourselves up." Shen Zhifeng said.
In today's time, as long as it is meat, regardless of pork, beef or sheep, the price has always been high, but seafood is relatively cheap.
With the economic conditions of Shen Xue's family, it is not possible to afford meat for every meal, not to mention that the mutton soup in the restaurant is more expensive than in the market.
Father Shen hesitated and said, "No, there is food at home. I'll go back and eat."
Shen Xue said anxiously: "Dad, just go and I'll buy you shoes!"
As she spoke, she crossed the street and walked quickly towards the shoe and hat shop not far away.
Shen Zhifeng put the fish basket into the trunk of the car and said, "Mr. Shen, please."
Father Shen had no choice but to follow Shen Zhifeng into the mutton soup restaurant.
…………
Ten minutes ago.
A car parked on the side of the road, and Father Shen walked towards him carrying a fish basket.
Rolling down the window, Zhou Mingwei leaned out and said politely: "Old sir, Jiudao Bay is not far from here, right?"
Father Shen turned around and pointed blankly, and said: "It's only ten minutes to go through the small road. It's very difficult to walk over there, and cars can't pass."
"Thank you." Zhou Mingwei knew where Jiudao Bay was, he was just confirming how to take the path.
Father Shen walked a few more steps and felt that his shoes were filled with water. He felt very uncomfortable, so he sat down on the curb.
In the car, in addition to Zhou Mingwei, there were Lu Huaiyi and a driver.
According to Jiang Xinyu's instructions, Zhou Mingwei sent Lu Huaiyi over in advance to avoid unexpected situations on the road and not catching up with the smuggling ship.
Zhou Mingwei said: "Comrade Lu, there is still half an hour before the agreed time. The weather is too cold. Let's go there after a while."
Lu Huaiyi looked out the car window, somewhat uneasy, and said, "Just wait and see, will you encounter a patrol?"
"No, this place is remote and there has never been a night patrol."
"Since it's so remote, if a car is parked here for too long, it will definitely draw attention..."
The two discussed for a while, and Zhou Mingwei said to the driver: "Xiao Hu, you can go back, you don't have to wait for me."
"Didn't you say it's not time yet?" Xiao Hu asked.
"It's okay, let's go to the restaurant and wait."
"good."
Xiao Hu said no more and watched Zhou Mingwei and Lu Huaiyi enter the mutton soup restaurant. He increased the accelerator and drove the car back along the same route.
In the mutton soup restaurant, Zhou Mingwei said to the waiter: "Is there a private room?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Now you two, there will be friends coming later."
"This way, you two!"
"Brother, let's start with two bowls of mutton soup and two steamed buns with meat."
"Okay, come right away!"
The hot mutton soup was served quickly. Lu Huaiyi rubbed his hands, picked up the spoon and took a sip, saying, "On such a cold day, drinking a bowl of mutton soup will warm your stomach and keep you hungry."
Zhou Mingwei smiled and said, "I guess you haven't eaten."
"I didn't dare to leave the house all day because I was worried about meeting someone from the Secrecy Bureau." Lu Huaiyi was really hungry and drank mutton soup.
"Why should the code book and the radio be sent separately?"
"Mainly for safety reasons. Now it seems that it is necessary to do this. Fortunately, the two of us changed our suitcases in time, otherwise, we would have been exposed on the train."
