CHAPTER XXIII
"Your old Zhao is going to take a car to the field the day after tomorrow?"
"Well, Lao Zhao is going to take the convoy to Lingnan Central City to pull things and prepare something for him."
"Then ask your old Zhao to bring something back?"
······
Li Zhendong almost jumped up in class. Yes, those are the words. Li Zhendong, who had settled down, had been thinking and pondering all afternoon.
The bell rang for the end of the last class. Li Zhendong, who is usually quick with his hands and feet, unhurriedly put away the textbooks on the desk. Go out the door and lean on the railing to look out at the court. A pair of eyes, from time to time, looking at the people who came out of the second class next door. It wasn't until the second class came out that the beautiful little Lori went downstairs with a few classmates talking and laughing. Li Zhendong smiled and followed after a distance.
Lin Qingqing and Hu Mei actually saw Li Zhendong leaning on the railing as soon as they went out. It's only a dozen steps away. The two of them were too impressed by Li Zhendong. Not to mention the fact that he saved the two of them, he went to Li Zhendong's house that day. I ate the delicious fried chestnuts with sugar, and I saw Li Zhendong make it with my own eyes, which is the most incredible thing in the hearts of the two little loli. There are also conversations between Li Zhendong and his parents, disputes and debates. Those words that I couldn't understand made the two little Loli fall into the clouds. It was later that the villain book attracted their attention.
There is a fork in the downhill road to the outside of the factory. When I got here, only the students outside the factory took this road. Li Zhendong who followed behind. In fact, it was already seen by a few little girls in front of me. Someone looked back, and there was a crisp laugh in front of them.
Li Zhendong saw that there were fewer people here, so he shouted "Hu Mei" from behind. Wait" caught up. Hu Mei combed two braids today and wore a beige shirt, and the whole person looked more and more pink and cute. Hearing Li Zhendong's voice, his face suddenly turned red, like a faint rouge smeared on the jade. A light kick! With so many little sisters together, what is he calling me for? The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Zhendong didn't think about what to do at all! Just wanted to say a word. Under the bright eyes of a few little girls who covered their mouths and laughed. Li Zhendong didn't know what was so funny about this? He never had the opportunity to deal with little Lori in his life.
Li Zhendong, who was old and still felt hot, spoke, "Hu Mei, is your dad free at night?" I want to visit Uncle Hu, there are some things. ”
Hu Mei turned her head, her little hand twisted a braid, and the blush on her face did not retreat, but when she saw Li Zhendong's panicked and embarrassed appearance, she laughed out loud, "My dad is at home at night, let me tell him." ”
Li Zhendong, who left in the wilderness, caused more laughter.
Zhao Qiang really didn't want to listen to the old man's nagging. Squatting in front of the house with a bowl to eat.
Li Zhendong went home and found a bag of tea in a paper bag, carried it in his hand and went out. He has been to the home of Master Zhao, the captain of the machinery factory. My father arranged for the delivery of the products to be indispensable. Li Zhendong himself has taken a few free cars. Not far away, it is a bungalow on the road in the factory area.
Zhao Qiang lowered his head and ate. Then he saw someone's footsteps stop beside him. Raising his head, he glanced up obliquely. With a bang, the bowl held by Zhao Qiang fell to the ground. As if on fire, the stab sprang up, and then retreated two or three steps. "Boy, what are you doing here?" What do you say Zhao Qiang has such a big reaction to? It is said that Zhao Qiang also came out of the fight, and he usually suffers a little injury and treats him as a person who has nothing to do! But when the brothers came back that day, they scolded each other, no matter how they thought about it, they were not opponents at that time. Looking at the monkey's appearance, it is estimated that there is still room for a few brothers. Zhao Qiang is not stupid, but quite clever, knowing that he is not an opponent, he can't send it up in a hurry? Okay, even if you lose face, don't ask someone to go up together, beat that kid, dare to kill someone? The next day, that kid is a little bigger, what should I do?
Now that I suddenly saw Li Zhendong, did this kid still want to come to his parents? Or do you want to come to the door for revenge? Boy, it was our brothers who suffered that day! Zhao Qiang was a little aggrieved.
Li Zhendong saw it clearly at this time, it turned out that he was still an acquaintance! A smile crossed his lips. ignored it and shouted into the house, "Is Uncle Zhao at home?" Zhao Qiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't come to me. There was a voice in the room, "Who?" Come on in. ”
Zhao Ligen looked at a child who walked in, a little familiar, and he couldn't remember whose child it was for a while. Li Zhendong walked into the room and saw a middle-aged man sitting at the table, putting loose tobacco into a plastic box and rolling it, which was making handmade cigarettes. Seeing the other party's puzzled eyes, Li Zhendong introduced himself with a smile, "I am Li Guotang's son" Zhao Ligen said "By the way, you are Xiaodong, is there something wrong?" ”
"I heard that Uncle Zhao is going to take a convoy to Lingnan Central City to pull things back?" Li Zhendong thought about it and asked directly.
"Yes, I want to bring three cars" Zhao Ligen was a little confused. "Is the car brought by Uncle Zhao empty?" Li Zhendong followed up and asked. Zhao Ligen was already confused, and a child asked what was this for? "Of course, it's going out to pull things back, not delivery!"
"Uncle Zhao, I want to ask you to bring something, the situation is like this" Li Zhendong and Zhao Ligen discussed. Zhao Ligen was very embarrassed, "From Zhongshi to Shenqu, this journey will take hundreds of kilometers back and forth, and the factory will definitely not agree." Li Zhendong's next sentence scared Zhao Ligen a lot: "This matter can't be known to the factory!" ”
Li Zhendong simply pulled the tiger skin: "This matter was done by Secretary Hu of the commune and me, borrow the car from the factory to go to the deep area to have a look, and stop by the way." Wait a day after delivery. And then. Li Zhendong sat at the table and leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice, "Each person will pay 250 yuan for hard work, and the food and accommodation will be all-inclusive along the way." The tickets you get back can be given to you. ”
Zhao Ligen's heart beat violently. To tell the truth, he sometimes brings something to people in his sports car, sometimes he is an acquaintance, sometimes he is a leader, and the most he brings back from outside is a little more than the price. Most of the time, it is not a penny. This number is beyond his imagination. His salary is $58 per month. 250 yuan? When yourself more than four months' salary. Zhao Ligen's life is not good. Three children, the eldest is married and doesn't care, and the second is unemployed, and the little girl is going to school in the county! My wife is a collective worker in the factory, and she gets 10 or 20 yuan a month.
Zhao Qiang next to him had already listened stupidly, "Dad, why don't you go?" Zhao Qiang had never imagined what it would be like to hold two hundred and fifty yuan in his hand. Li Zhendong had already seen Zhao Qiang come in, and sure enough, Zhao Qiang helped.
Zhao Ligen said with difficulty, "I can't be the master of this matter alone, I have to discuss it with them." Li Zhendong knocked on the table, "Uncle Zhao, this is how it should be, why don't you let someone come over to discuss?" ”
Zhao Ligen, who got up in a hurry, went out to find someone. Li Zhendong looked at Zhao Qiang next to him with a smile. Zhao Qiang's mind was full of confusion, and he was swept away by Li Zhendong's eyes. Suddenly remembered, laughed, and quickly got up and poured cold boiling water. Babbling but not knowing what to call it?
Zhao Ligen hurriedly brought people back, and on the way, he should have told him about the situation. The two men who came with them had excited looks on their faces. Li Zhendong repeated the situation again, and heard that there would also be a person from the commune who would follow the car to the deep area. Let go of the most difficult doubts. As for what is Li Zhendong's appearance? There will always be a reason for this problem. Didn't the commune ask that the factory not be allowed to know the truth? Those who are here must be kept secret. It is a military-industrial system itself, can it not be familiar with the secrecy regulations? The few people who sat down talked a little and agreed. Joke, there's no reason to disagree, where to find such a good thing? What's more, you don't have to pay for food and accommodation on the road, and you can be reimbursed when you come back. This is also a lot of pieces. In fact, there is another problem in the middle, that is, the oil used in the car. But, in fact, this is not a problem. Everyone chose to forget.
Li Zhendong smiled and asked the last question: "This time, I have to be in a hurry on the road, and the driving time is very long." Try to reduce the time for eating and sleeping. I'm afraid it's going to be harder! ”
