Chapter 13 Towards a Greater Goal

Early in the morning of the third day, Gao Yu and his wife jumped on Leng Feng's motor boat. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info Leng Feng arranged them in a cabin at the bow of the ship.

Leng Feng's motor boat is more than 10 meters long and 3 meters wide, and is powered by diesel engines. The cabin is not big, only three or four squares, Leng Feng made the whole ship into two floors, in the middle of it is a fixed large round table, next to it there are five chairs, and the round table is fixed together, Leng Feng is used to calling it "dining room", of course, there are usually no guests, their three meals a day are solved on the spot at the stern; Down the gangway, there is a large bed on the right, a cabinet next to the bed, and some clothes that are usually changed are simply placed, Leng Feng jokingly called it the "master bedroom".

In the middle of the ship is the main cabin, and in the middle is a narrow passage for one person, connecting the bow and stern, each with a movable plank. The planks are usually covered, but only opened during loading and unloading, and when they are opened, a narrow wooden staircase leads to the bottom of the ship, which is divided into several areas with planks, which can be adjusted in size at any time as needed, and the same is true for the top, so that the space is fully utilized.

Under the stern is the engine room, above is the wheelhouse, in front of the wheelhouse is stacked with household goods for washing and cooking, usually cooking and laundry is here, so that the space of the wheelhouse is very narrow.

Ye Qing accompanied Gao Yu and his wife to chat at the bow of the boat while watching the scenery on both sides of the strait. At that time, it was the spring of March, and the yellow rape flowers on both sides of the river were blooming, and some unknown flowers and plants also came to join in the fun, yellow, white, red, pink, as if they were in a huge watercolor painting, and they did not feel bored and lonely along the way.

When the boat sailed to Huanglong Township, it was almost dusk, Leng Feng discussed with everyone, and parked the boat on the river of a village. After Leng Feng got off the boat, he went straight to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village to purchase some daily necessities. After Leng Feng finished purchasing, he did not leave immediately, but moved a stool and rested at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is a habit he has developed since he started transportation. In those days, the supply and marketing cooperatives should be the most lively place. Every day, people from the north and south gather here, and there is a huge amount of business information in between. Ordinary people can't see it, only people with a heart can capture it sensitively. Leng Feng is such a caring person, and a lot of business information he used to collect from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Stationmaster Stone! It's time to get off work! The villagers greeted a middle-aged man in his forties.

The middle-aged man known as the stone stationmaster was dressed as a worker, with a medium stature and a dark Chinese face. He bought a pack of cigarettes at the supply and marketing cooperative, and when he came out, he found Leng Feng.

"You are?" Stationmaster Shi should be from this village, and he felt that Leng Feng was very raw.

"I'm going to Ningzhou City, passing by the treasure land, there are many disturbances! I beg your pardon! "Leng Feng snorted haha.

"Then how did you pass by here?" Stationmaster Shi handed a cigarette to Leng Feng. He looked at Leng Feng suspiciously.

There is a direct shuttle bus from Jianzhou County to Ningzhou City, and the shuttle bus does not pass through Huanglong Township.

"I came here by myself."

"Is it the big ship parked outside the village?" When the stationmaster returned from the quarry, he saw a large boat parked in the river outside the village.

"Would you like to go and sit on the boat for a while?" Leng Feng warmly invited.

"Don't bother! Come back after dinner! After saying goodbye to Leng Feng, Stationmaster Shi went straight home.

When Leng Feng returned to the ship, it was already dark. Ye Qing had already made dinner, because Leng Feng had not returned, and Gao Yu and his wife were embarrassed to move their chopsticks.

"Why is it so late! Let Brother Gao and Sister Shao Wei wait for you for so long! You let their children starve too! You can't bear it! "Ye Qing is a big shot!

"It's a bit delayed!" Leng Feng scratched his head embarrassedly.

"He's not so late for you and your kids!" Shao Wei is upset for Leng Feng!

"Sister Shao Wei is talking nonsense! Where did I come from, child? ”

"If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future!" Shao Wei teased.

"I have a hunch that business will come to my door tonight." Leng Feng took a sip of soju.

The dishes on the table are very simple, one bowl of steamed crucian carp, two bowls of vegetarian dishes, and one screw soup. The fish were caught by Leng Feng in his spare time and kept in the cabin. The current cold front is no longer the landlubber it used to be! Of course, this is thanks to Ye Qing, who taught it by hand. The vegetables are wild vegetables dug by Ye Qing and Gao Yu and his wife on the side of the road, in that era when everything is surnamed "Gong", it seems that only wild grass and wild vegetables are not surnamed "Gong"! There are wild vegetables everywhere in the fields of the countryside, in fact, wild vegetables are not as unpalatable as the legend, because they grow in the wild and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, so their nutritional value should be higher than that of ordinary vegetables.

"When did you become a half-immortal?" Ye Qing teased.

"You know what?" Leng Feng gave her a blank look.

After eating, rinse and finish. Everyone chatted together.

"Anyone?" Someone shouted on the shore.

Leng Feng glanced at Ye Qing, and Ye Qing stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"It's Stationmaster Stone, right?" Leng Feng stepped out of the cabin and greeted him.

"My name is Shi Yong, you can call me Brother Shi!"

"This is Brother Yu! This is sister-in-law! ”

"Hmm...... This is Ye Qing's little sister! ”

Leng Feng introduced them one by one.

Shi Yong looked at Leng Feng and Ye Qing attentively, but did not speak.

"This ship belongs to your production team, right?"

"Yes! We are from Gaojia Village, Maodong Brigade, Maoshan Township! Big Brother Gao is our captain! Leng Feng preemptively said.

"Oh! It's Captain Gao! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Shi Yong shook Gao Yu's hand.

"You're welcome! Brother Shi! Just call me Gao Yu! Gao Yu said modestly.

"You should have bought this ship for transportation, right?"

"Yes! We've got it! Ye Qing! Go get the proof and show it to Brother Shi! Leng Feng greeted Ye Qing.

"No need! I can trust you! Shi Yong stopped Ye Qing.

"You should be carrying some sand and gravel or something, right?" Shi Yong gradually entered the theme.

"If you look at the current environment, how many people use this kind of thing? So there has been no such business yet. We can only do less-than-truckload work now. Leng Feng smiled bitterly.

"In the current situation, it's good to have LTL to do!" Shi Yong said perfunctorily. I was very disappointed!

"We are going to Ningzhou City now to open up the market, I think there should be big business in big cities!" Leng Feng stated the purpose of the trip. He felt that Shi Yong should also be a big person!

"You should have someone in Ningzhou City, right?" Shi Yong became interested.

"I'm not 100% sure. He was a friend of my father's, and he was only a small boss. ”

"You're an educated youth, right?" Shi Yong asked tentatively.

Leng Feng was silent.

"It's amazing that a young intellectuals can have such an achievement!" Shi Yong gave a thumbs up.

"This is mainly due to the great help of Big Brother Gao!" Leng Feng said modestly.

"We have opened a quarry in our village, but the market has not been opened! You help me ask for sales in the city, and I'll give you a kickback! Shi Yong cut to the point.

"I'll help you ask, and as for the kickback, it's exempt. Your sales are open, and my shipping business is up. Why wouldn't I do this kind of mutually beneficial business? Right! That way, you give me an address and we can keep in touch by letter in the future! Multiple friends, multiple paths! ”

Leng Feng carried Gao Yu and his wife all the way to a river in Ningzhou City. How familiar everything is in front of you! This is Leng Feng's hometown!

"I'm back!" Leng Feng shouted excitedly! Who can explain his mood at this time?!

Leng Feng calmed down his excited heart and slowly leaned the boat against the river port.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the river port was crowded with people, all of whom were washing rice and preparing to make lunch.

"Isn't this Xiao Feng!" Someone recognized Leng Feng with sharp eyes.

"Auntie!" That's right, this person is Zhang Haoshan's mother - Huifang!

"Xiao Feng! You're black! But it's much stronger! Hui Fang looked at Leng Feng.

"This is Big Brother Gao! This is sister-in-law! ”

“...... This is Ye Qing's little sister! ”

Leng Feng introduced Huifang one by one.

"Hello Auntie!" Everyone greeted in unison.

"Look at me as a person! Just take care of Xiao Feng and leave the guests aside! Excuse me! Hui Fang smiled heartily.

"This should be your girlfriend!" Hui Fang took Ye Qing's hand affectionately.

"Beautiful! It's a good match for you! ”

"Your mother just came to see you, but she didn't see you, so she went back! I'll lead you to her. ”

"Sister-in-law! A guest has come to the house! Before she reached the door, Huifang tore her throat and shouted.

"It's coming!" Ruonan held back the ecstasy in her heart and calmly walked out of the house.

Leng Feng looked at his mother, he hadn't seen him for four or five years, a few strands of white hair appeared in his mother's jet-black green silk, and faint crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes. Leng Feng felt a sour feeling in his heart.

"Mom!" Leng Feng hugged his mother, thinking that he had a lot to say to his mother when he came, but now he couldn't say a word.

"People who are so big, how can they still look like children!" Ruonan lightly blamed. There were tears in his eyes!

"You guys, you've worked hard along the way! Have a seat! Hui Fang greeted Ye Qing and them.

"Look! Leave the guests aside! And let your aunt help us entertain! Ruonan blamed Leng Feng.

"Sister-in-law! If you don't talk to a family, you're too outsider! ”

"It's time for me to go, too! Let's have dinner at my house! Huifang raised her feet to leave.

"Brother Zhang De won't come back for dinner at noon, you can eat here alone, and help me entertain guests by the way!" Ruonan grabbed Huifang.

"Alright! That dinner was at my house! Huifang invited again.

"Okay!"

"Auntie! Excuse me! Gao Yu and his wife said politely.

"Hello aunt!" Ye Qing exclaimed sweetly.

"Auntie? It's time to change your tune! Shao Wei quipped.

"What's that called?" Ye Qing lowered his head shyly.

"It should be called 'Mom'! Auntie, I'm right. ”

"Since you have been with Xiao Feng for so many years, it stands to reason that you should call me 'Mom'. It's just that I've wronged you too much! "When Ruonan first saw Ye Qing, he liked this future daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

"Mom! Brother Leng Feng is a man who dares to take responsibility! Following such a man, I have no regrets! Ye Qing said firmly.

"Sister-in-law! What a blessing! With such a daughter-in-law, she should be content in this life! Huifang said enviously.

"Auntie! Has Xiaoshan come back to see you? Leng Feng changed the subject.

"He only enlisted in the army last year, and he hasn't been on family leave yet."

"He learned to drive in the army, right?" Leng Feng asked.

In fact, Leng Feng and Zhang Haoshan have always corresponded by letter.

"Yes. That's fine, when he comes back from the army, let him go to the agency to drive! ”

"It's better to do transportation with me! A waterway and a land route have all-inclusive transportation in Ningzhou City! "Leng Feng is full of pride!

"You are three sentences that never leave the industry!" Ye Qing teased.

"Men have to have such pride! Success or not! Ruonan said approvingly.

"Xiao Feng has the courage to do big things, our Xiaoshan can't do it, let's let him go to the agency to drive!"

Leng Feng took a sip of wine, smiled and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while!

"I toast Xiao Gao with tea instead of wine! Thank you Xiao Gao for taking care of Xiao Feng in the past five years! Ruonan raised the cup in his hand.

"It's not worth mentioning! Auntie is so polite! Gao Yu raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Ruonan's teacup, and said politely.

"I also toast my aunt! In the past five years, my aunt has helped our family a lot! Leng Feng raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Huifang.

"The folks in the big hometown, help each other and help each other, it should be!" Huifang was polite.
