The middle-aged woman, who is Zhang Gang's mother, heard Li Dongxing's explanation, and the wariness on her face faded a lot.

"Gangzi went out early in the morning, and he was carrying a snakeskin bag, which turned out to be meat. ”

As soon as she heard that Zhang Gang went out with ham sausage and jerky, Zhou Niannian's heart tightened, no wonder Zhang Chunyan said it was late, she must have told Zhang Gang last night and asked him to dispose of the ham sausage and jerky early in the morning.

"Then do you know where he went?" Qi Jiayan's face also changed, and she couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Zhang Gang's mother glanced at Qi Jiayan suspiciously, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qi Jiayan was stunned, Zhou Niannian hurriedly smiled and took Zhang Gang's mother's hand: "Auntie is like this, we still have some goods in our hands, and we want to deal with them together, I'm afraid that Zhang Gang will lower the price first, and then we will make half less money." ”

"That's right," Zhang Gang's mother patted her thigh, she knew that her son didn't help people dump goods or anything on weekdays, so she no longer doubted it.

"You said you, why didn't you give Gangzi together earlier if you still have the goods in your hands, and now he's gone," Zhang Gang's mother pouted and complained.

Zhou Niannian smiled: "It's because we didn't think it through, so we came over in a hurry to ask." ”

Qi Jiayan also reacted at this moment, "Yes, auntie, for the sake of our two in-laws, tell us quickly, my sister-in-law originally wanted to come over and ask, but she had to go to work in the department store in the morning, and I couldn't catch up, so I brought my friends over." ”

Hearing her mention her daughter, her own daughter married into Qijia Village, when they first got married, they inquired carefully, and knew that there was a daughter in the Qi family who went to the field to join the queue as a young intellectual, and Zhang Gang's mother's worries were dispelled.

"Gangzi left early in the morning, this point should have gone to Zhangjiagou, you should go over and have a look. ”

Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan glanced at each other, both a little dazed.

Li Dongxing's eyebrows jumped, turned around and walked out, "I know where Zhangjiagou is, hurry up." ”

Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan quickly turned around and ran out of the yard without hesitation, leaving Zhang Gang's mother standing in the yard with a blank face.

"Zhangjiagou is the closest village to the city on the outskirts of Nancheng, and because of its proximity to the city, it has slowly developed into a black market. As soon as he got in the car, he heard the sound of Li Dongxing starting the car, the car turned, and quickly turned around and ran outside the village.

"There is a black market there in the morning and evening, let's go now, I'm afraid that most of the morning transactions have been completed. Li Dongxing stepped on the accelerator, and the expression on his face was a little bad.

Zhou Niannian's heart sank, Zhang Gang's mother said that Zhang Gang left early in the morning with ham sausages and meat, and now it is estimated that it is almost eight o'clock, I don't know if they will have time to chase after him.

If Zhang Gang had already sold the ham sausage and jerky, it would be a bit of a trouble.

Even if the police arrest Zhang Gang, it is not easy to recover the ham sausages and jerky that have been sold, after all, the people who go to the black market to buy things are rich or have backgrounds, and even if they exchange money, they may not be able to exchange it back intact.

"Nian Nian, it's all my fault," Qi Jiayan blamed herself very much, from the resentment accumulated last night to the anger that erupted this morning, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry bitterly.

"If I don't insist that you come back with me, there won't be what we have now, if the ham sausage and jerky are lost, I ....." she wiped away her tears with her sleeve, choked up and said, "I take all the responsibility, I take the money out to make the company's profit, I don't want a salary ....... in the future"

She was angry and anxious, and her words were a little incoherent.

She knew very well the importance of coming out to promote products this time for Zhou Niannian, before they came out, there were rumors everywhere in the factory that Zhou Niannian would not be able to achieve the goal set before, if she really lost the ham sausage and jerky, Zhou Niannian would not be able to achieve the goal of making a profit, Qi Jiayan felt that she would die of guilt.

Thinking that all this was caused by her family, Qi Jiayan felt ashamed and hateful.

Zhou Niannian held her hand and wiped away her tears, "What are you crying about, it's not the last moment, I really can't find a solution for us to think about it, the worst result is just to go home and start over, the time will be short, it's not hopeless." ”

Qi Jiayan looked at Zhou Niannian with firm eyebrows in her teary eyes, and secretly made up her mind that she would work hard to protect Zhou Niannian no matter what she wanted in the future.

Li Dongxing's car drove very fast, but the snow had not melted, the road was wet and slippery, and the car was always slippery, and it took more than 20 minutes to reach Zhangjiagou.

Li Dongxing parked the car in a hidden corner, and as soon as the car was parked, Qi Jiayan and Zhou Niannian couldn't wait to jump off.

"Wait, I'll go in with you. Li Dongxing shouted to them, "The people here are very vigilant and wary of outsiders. ”

As he spoke, he took off his hat, took off his coat, and put it on his body, becoming an ordinary cotton suit, and he couldn't see his original identity.

The three of them walked into Zhangjiagou together.

The so-called black market is just a barn drying field at the west end of Zhangjiagou Village, and Li Dongxing has brought people here to catch black market transactions before, so when he enters the village, he takes them to the west of the village.

At this time the fog lifted, the sun peeked out from the east, and there were only seven or eight men left in the threshing floor, with their hands in their sleeves, squatting on the ground and chatting, and at their feet lay a large basket, which was covered with cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Li Dongxing swept around, frowned and whispered: "The morning market is over." ”

When Zhou Niannian saw that there were only a few people left, he probably guessed it.

But I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart, even if it is to inquire about some useful news.

Qi Jiayan rubbed her face, "I'll ask." ”

She is a native of Nancheng and speaks the local dialect, which is less noticeable.

Zhou Niannian followed her, separated from Li Dongxing, and asked left and right.

The person squatting on the ground looked up and saw that it was two beautiful little girls, and the vigilance in his eyes faded a lot.

In those years, self-employed businesses were not allowed, and most of the people who came to the black market to trade were home-grown or bought from other places in exchange for some money to subsidize their lives.

"Girl, come out and slip away. "Someone copied the Nancheng dialect to say hello.

Qi Jiayan squeezed out a smile and replied in dialect: "Yes, uncle, I want to ask if there is any meat for sale." ”

Seeing that Qi Jiayan was speaking in the local dialect, the greeting person became less vigilant, although he was not buying his own things, he also enthusiastically pointed to a big man squatting in the easternmost part of the barn: "You go and ask where the big man is." ”

Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan went to the position of the big man, and Qi Jiayan asked as usual: "Big brother, do you still have meat?"

The big man had a cigarette in his mouth, glanced up and down at the two of them, and lifted the cloth covering the basket.
