At four o'clock in the morning, Zhao Jiazhou was extremely silent in the fog. People who are immersed in the New Year's reunion are greedy for warm quilts, and no one wants to wake up, but Zhao Xiaohe is an exception.

Woken up by the alarm clock, he got up yawning, put on a woolen sweater, put on a coat, and did not wash, came down from the third floor, and went directly to the hall on the first floor.

His house is a three-story building, the third floor is inhabited, the first floor is his family's supermarket and chess and card room, and the second floor is a warehouse.

According to the customs of Zhaojiazhou, from the second or fourth year of the lunar month is the "year", and every day after is the year, in line with the old tradition of "making money or not making money, you have to go home for the New Year", the people who work abroad rush to return to their hometowns one after another in the "year", and the earlier they come back, the better they mix outside this year.

Today is the 27th day of the lunar month, and almost all those who should return to their hometowns have returned, and the village has entered the most lively time of the year, and it is also the best time for supermarket business.

Last night, a truckload of goods entered the supermarket, because Zhao Xiaohe, as the head of Zhaojiazhou Village, was busy visiting the masses and did not come back to help, and his wife Chen Lanlan, who was exhausted in the middle of the night, lost her temper and threw all the goods that were not moved upstairs on the first floor and went to sleep. Now the counters, aisles, and even chess and card rooms in supermarkets are full of goods.

Zhao Xiaohe knew that he was at a loss, and came back to apologize, saying that he would definitely help her sort it out today, but he still had to visit work today, so he had to get up early to do things.

He put a few cigarettes from the chair on the shelf, took a towel and wiped the chair, took off his coat, folded it squarely and put it on the chair, and then he got busy.

After a while, he was drenched in sweat, but he did not stop, because it was his duty as the head of the family, and the visit was his job, and nothing could be delayed.

"When you're tired, you can rest! I'm tired and sick and I can't serve you!" I don't know when, my wife Chen Lanlan got up, and while helping to sort out the shelves, she continued to complain angrily, "I don't understand why you have so many things going on all day long!"

"To be a soldier is to be a good soldier, and to do things is to do practical things!" Zhao Xiaohe suddenly stood in a straight posture, and said this slogan in a serious and thick voice unique to soldiers, seeing that his wife threw his eyes over, he hurriedly bent down to do things, and laughed in a hip-hop tone, "If you want to do practical things for everyone, can you not be busy?" Besides, isn't it the end of the year, you have to do more things in the supermarket, not to mention our village of more than 3,000 people. ”

"Come on, when have you been idle? A busy year has ended! Those who know say that you are the village chief of Zhaojiazhou Village, but those who don't know think that you are the county magistrate of Qinglan County!"

"It's better to be busy than idle, if I'm too idle, I'll sit at this intersection all day long and watch beautiful women." ”

Chen Lanlan glanced at him, picked up a pack of chicken essence and threw it at his face: "I think my eyes are too bright and I want to be blind, right?"

"So I'm busy. Zhao Xiaohe smiled and put the chicken essence back on the shelf.

"What's the use of you're busy? Look at your old Geng Gangzi in the same year, Baojun who came back last year to drive, and came back this year to drive a BMW. ”

"Gangzi is back?" Zhao Xiaohe, who was already collecting the price of the goods, immediately paused.

"Yes, the family of four arrived last night, and when I came out to take out the garbage, he stopped and said hello to me. Tut-tut, it's different to make a fortune, you can put on a score, you don't even get off the car when you say hello, you only roll down the window by half. ”

"Gangzi seems to have opened a store in Wuhan, right?"

"yes. The car is new, and I guess I didn't buy it for long. Eh, eh, where are you going?"

"I'll go find Uncle Sanfu. Zhao Xiaohe picked up his coat and walked out.

"I haven't finished sorting out the goods yet!"

"I'll help you later. ”

"Zhao Xiaohe! I believe you are a ghost!"

Zhao Xiaohe rushed out of the supermarket like a gust of wind, and walked straight to the west of the village along the Nandi Gong Road, completely ignoring his wife's words.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the fog was too heavy, so it looked a little overcast.

Zhao Sanfu, the village secretary, also got up at this time, and was squatting at the door drinking porridge, when he heard Zhao Xiaohe calling him, he hurriedly stood up and responded, while knocking on the bowl with chopsticks: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. Uncle, Gangzi's family of four came back last night, do you know?" Zhao Xiaohe rushed into the courtyard with a bright voice.

"Don't you walk like a dog chasing after you, okay?" Zhao Sanfu reminded with a smile, hooked a small bench with his foot to Zhao Xiaohe, and then nodded slowly before continuing to speak, "Gangzi called me last night, originally to come to see me, I fell asleep, and I didn't let him come." This kid, business is doing well this year. ”

"Uncle, Gangzi is doing business in Wuhan!" Zhao Xiaohe didn't care to sit down, and hurriedly said, "The news says that there is an infectious disease over there." ”

"Hiss-" Zhao Sanfu's expression became solemn, "I also saw this news last night. ”

After a few moments, he said as if to comfort himself, "It doesn't matter, right? I haven't received any instructions from above on this matter." ”

"It's hard to say. Early prevention is the last word!"

Seeing Zhao Xiaohe standing in front of him with his waist straightened, just as he reported the news to the chief in the army, Zhao Sanfu's brows suddenly twisted into a line, and he didn't take a bite of food for a long time.

After graduating from high school, Zhao Xiaohe went to serve in the military, performed well in the army, and opened a self-service supermarket at the intersection of the village head after retiring from the army, he was very trustworthy, never deceived passing by, and was also very generous and enthusiastic and straightforward, but his temper was a little impatient, and in general, Zhao Sanfu valued him very much, so he not only recommended him to join the party, but also recommended him to the village committee.

"I called Zhiyang and asked him to take the temperature of Gangzi's family first to see the situation. Thinking that Zhao Xiaohe's words were not unreasonable, Zhao Sanfu went back to the house to put the bowl.

Zhao Zhiyang is a hygienist at the village clinic.

"I'll fight. As he spoke, Zhao Xiaohe had already taken out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Zhiyang's phone, and after saying a few words, he hung up the phone, "Uncle, he hasn't gotten up yet, just his chronic son, he can't do it in twenty minutes, I'll go back to pick up a meal first, and let's meet at the door of Gangzi's house when we go back?"

"Come to me and make a bowl. It is still used in the pot. ”

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet. I'll be over soon. Before Zhao Xiaohe's words fell, the person had already left the courtyard gate and strode back home. After washing up quickly, he hurriedly picked up a bite of food in Chen Lanlan's nagging and went out again.

"This home is your hotel!" Complaining and complaining, Chen Lanlan still stuffed a carton of milk into his hand.

Zhao Xiaohe threw a wink at his wife, drank the milk in two sips and threw it into the garbage can, and went straight to Zhao Qinggang's house.

On the South Bank Embankment Road, a brand-new BMW approached.

The car stopped beside Zhao Xiaohe, and the glass shook down, which was the Gangzi he was looking for.
