Chapter 14: The Triumphant Return

When Zhang De came home from work, he saw a motor boat parked at the head of the river port. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Could it be that Xiao Feng has arrived?

"I saw a big motorized boat parked at the river port. Don't know whose it is? As soon as Zhang De arrived home, he tentatively asked Huifang.

"It's Xiao Feng who is back!" Huifang replied in the kitchen without looking back.

"I guessed right!" Zhang De said proudly.

"If you think about it, you know that Xiao Feng is back. Didn't Xiao Feng write a letter a few days ago? Huifang disagreed.

"I'll help you!" Zhang De saw that his wife was busy in the kitchen, and he was embarrassed to be idle next to him.

"I don't need you here, you better go and entertain guests!" Huifang said as she pushed Zhang De out of the kitchen.

"The guests haven't arrived yet!"

"Brother Zhang De! We're here for dinner! Before Zhang De's words fell, Ruonan and they had already arrived at the door.

"Sister-in-law! Where to speak! Are we still separated from each other? Zhang De welcomed Ruonan and them into the house.

"Xiao Feng! I haven't seen each other for five years, and it's a lot darker! Zhang De hugged Leng Feng's shoulders with both hands and looked at it carefully.

"The man has become strong! It's a man! Zhang De pounded Leng Feng's chest with his fist.

"Uncle hasn't changed at all! It's still so tough! Leng Feng responded.

"Hasn't changed? How can it be? Old! Zhang De touched Guangguang's chin.

"Uncle is too modest! You don't look old at all! Ye Qing echoed beside him.

"This little girl has a sweet mouth! It's your wife! Zhang De said to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng smiled and didn't answer.

"Not really!" Ye Qing said shyly.

"It's Ye Qing, right!" Leng Feng often mentioned Ye Qing in his letters, and Zhang De naturally remembered it.

"Oops! Patronizing your own family to talk! I neglected the guests! I'm sorry! Zhang De caught a glimpse of Shao Wei with a big belly.

Zhang De hurriedly moved a chair and let Shao Wei sit.

"Brother Yu, whom Xiao Feng often mentions in his letters, should be you, right?" Zhang De handed a cup of tea to Gao Yu.

"He is Brother Yu!" Leng Feng rushed to answer.

"Thank you for taking care of Xiao Feng in many ways!" Zhang De shook Gao Yu's hand tightly.

"Uncle is gracious! Brother Feng is my brother, and he should be taken care of as a big brother! ”

"It's time to eat!" While speaking, Huifang had already arranged a table of dishes.

In that era of scarce resources, it was naturally coarse tea and light rice. A bowl of minced eggplant, a bowl of braised crucian carp, a bowl of cold salad of Tsubaki sprouts, and a few bowls of wild vegetables were dug by Huifang from the farmland by the wall gate. Zhang De also took out a bottle of Ningzhou Daqu hidden in the depths of the cupboard, which was given by a friend, and he was usually reluctant to drink it.

"Coarse tea and light rice are not respectful!" Zhang De raised his glass and toasted everyone.

"Uncle! You're kind again! This dish should cost a lot! Ye Qing gave Zhang De a glass in return.

"Listen to Xiao Feng, you have formed a troupe?" Zhang De toasted Gao Yu.

"Yes, uncle! At the moment we are just performing in the countryside. Shao Wei hurriedly took over the conversation.

"It stands to reason that you have helped Xiaofeng so much, and in return I should have helped you match, but I have been very busy recently, because the cadre school is going to be expanded, and I am responsible for purchasing building materials, and I have been busy contacting these days. After this time, I will definitely help you inquire! ”

"Uncle! No hurry! With Uncle's words, we are already very happy! I'll toast my uncle with tea instead of wine! Shao Wei respectfully saluted Zhang De.

"Uncle! So how are you getting in touch? Leng Feng asked Zhang De.

"It's just a piece of sand and gravel!" Zhang De took a sip of wine.

"When I came, I passed by a quarry and got to know the people in charge there."

"Great! I'll go with you in a few days. I'll leave the transportation to you in the future! Zhang De excitedly patted Leng Feng's shoulder.

"Let's go tomorrow!" Leng Feng doesn't like to procrastinate!

"Alright! Originally, I wanted to arrange for your father and son to meet first. ”

"No hurry! It's never too late to see you when it's done! ”

"Good! I like to do things neatly! Zhang De slapped Leng Feng hard.

Quarry in Longshan Village, Huanglong Township. Located directly in front of the entrance of Longshan Village, the mountain that was mined was like a huge Taishi chair blocking the way for the villagers to travel, and people went out to work, and relatives had to take a detour. For many years, the villagers have been miserable.

When they heard that the mountain was going to be mined in the village, the villagers applauded. Every day, without waiting for the assignment of the production team leader, everyone rushed to do it! However, this enthusiasm did not last long, and it was plagued by a very real problem, what to do with the mined sand and gravel soil? How much can you use in your own village and township? Although there were occasional other towns to buy some, in those days, there were very few such uses, which was a drop in the bucket!

As the stationmaster of the quarry, Shi Yong scratches his scalp every day! Since Leng Feng left, Shi Yong has been looking forward to it every day. As soon as Leng Feng's ship arrived at the dock, there were already workers rushing to report to Shi Yong.

"Brother Leng Feng!" Leng Feng and the others had just come ashore, and Shi Yong was already waiting on the shore.

"This is the stone stationmaster!"

"This is Section Chief Zhang, who is responsible for purchasing building materials."

Leng Feng introduced them to each other.

"Hello! Section Chief Zhang! Shi Yong shook Zhang De's hand tightly.

"Hello! Stationmaster Stone! Out of politeness, Zhang De responded.

"Come and sit in my office for a while!" Shi Yong warmly invited.

Shi Yong's office is some distance from the quarry, and it is relatively quiet.

"Let's go and have a look!" After sitting for a while, Zhang De couldn't sit still.

"Okay!" Shi Yong was not polite, he knew that Zhang De's purpose was to see his strength.

"Don't go with the three of you!" Zhang De turned around and said to Gao Yu and Ye Qing.

"I'm going to see it too!" Ye Qing said mischievously.

"Afraid we'll eat Xiao Feng?" Zhang De asked Ye Qing with a wicked smile.

Ye Qing was suddenly speechless with shame.

"Good! I will first ask for ten tons of melon seed slices, and I will pick up the goods early tomorrow morning. Zhang De inspected and was quite satisfied with the quality of the sand and gravel here.

"Don't you mention it now?" Shi Yong asked.

"Let's send the pregnant woman back first!" Zhang De explained.

"Oh!" Shi Yong suddenly realized.

"Let's have dinner at my house! Brother Gao, don't Zhang Luo, it's so late, when you Zhang Luo is good, the guests are hungry! When he was about to arrive at Gaojia Village, Ye Qing invited.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Gao Yu and Shao Wei felt that what Ye Qing said was also the truth, so they were embarrassed to shirk it again.

"That's embarrassing! I'm empty-handed! Zhang De said politely.

"It's okay! If my uncle can come to the humble house, it will be full of brilliance! Ye Qingwen said in a smug manner.

"My niece and daughter-in-law are so good at talking! I have nothing to say but obey! Zhang De made a gesture of surrender, causing everyone to laugh.

"I still have a few fish here, so let's take them too!" After Leng Feng finished speaking, he caught two crucian carp and one catfish from the cabin, put them into a net bag, lifted them with his hands, and followed everyone off the boat.

"Dad! Mother! I am back! Before he arrived at the door, Ye Qing began to shout loudly.

This shout not only heard her parents, but also alarmed a person. That person is the production captain of their Yejia Village - Ye Dawei, Gaojia Village and Yejia Village are only separated by a water, which one has any troubles, the other must be the first to know. So everything Leng Feng did, Ye Dawei saw it in his eyes and was greedy in his heart, he also wanted to do the transportation part, of course, in the name of the production team. In those days, individuals who engaged in side hustles would be "cut off their tails", but if they did it in the name of the public, the situation was different, but they suffered from no business. After Leng Feng went to Ningzhou City, he had been secretly waiting, hoping that Leng Feng would return victorious.

From Ye Qing's shout, he heard a cheerful mood, indicating that Leng Feng had returned with a full load.

"Cold front! It's back! Ye Dawei greeted him happily.

"......" Leng Feng was stunned for a moment.

Usually, Ye Dawei is lukewarm to Leng Feng. Which one is this singing?

"Captain Ye! Hello! "The cold front will return to normalcy immediately.

Since people take the initiative to say hello, don't lose their face, no matter what their intentions are.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come to my house for a bite to eat! Ye Dawei said politely.

"No! How embarrassed to disturb Captain Ye! Leng Feng also politely refused.

"Uncle Dawei! Why don't you sit at my house for a while? Ye Qing also said politely.

"Okay!" Ye Dawei took the lead.

"Entertain guests with fish and meat! I don't think you have any meat at home, huh? This doesn't work, right? Ye Dawei snorted haha.

"Shame! Ashamed! The family is poor, can't afford meat, and neglects the guests! Ye Qing's father said apologetically.

"Isn't that great! Meat and vegetables are nutritious! Zhang De said politely.

"I still have some meat at home, I'll go get it!" Ye Dawei walked away.

"David! No more! Ye Qing's father was a little flattered.

"David! Let's have some more! Ye Qing's father felt that he couldn't go, so he pulled Ye Dawei into the table.

"Alright! I'm here to accompany you, too! Ye Dawei sat down.

"Who is this?" Ye Dawei looked at Zhang De.

"This is my uncle!" Leng Feng said.

"I'm the same age as you, just call me Zhang De!"

"How dare you do this!" Ye Dawei said politely.

"What did you gain from going to Ningzhou City this time?" Ye Dawei turned to the cold front.

"My uncle's unit needs building materials, and I'll help him transport some back tomorrow."

"Oh! All right! Ye Dawei touched Leng Feng.

"Are you in time for a boat?" Ye Dawei asked tentatively.

"It should be in time for now, and if you are busy in the future, you may need someone else to join in."

"Why don't I come and join the gang?" Ye Dawei took over the conversation.

“...... Yes! But there is no transportation in the village! ”

Leng Feng wanted to refuse, but thinking that since he was with Ye Qing, he was also half of the Ye family's village, so it was naturally difficult to refuse.

"If you're willing to let me in, I'll buy a boat tomorrow!" Ye Dawei strikes while the iron is hot!

"Don't be in such a hurry! When my business grows, it's never too late to buy it! Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't regret it again! You should know very well who I am! Leng Feng said.

"I'm relieved to have your words!" Ye Dawei toasted Leng Feng with a cup, and then drank it all.
