Grandpa Gao took a few puffs of cigarette: "Later, the leaders of these two units asked him for questioning, and he told everything he knew; The next day the troops dug up around the turret, and the troops on both sides dug for two days but found nothing, and by the morning of the third day the troops on both sides had withdrawn, and I heard that they had dug up something unclean, and many people were killed and wounded. ”

Xiaoying looked at the uncle and said, "Are they looking for those things in the car?" ”

Grandpa Gao nodded and said, "It should be, or the troops wouldn't be so desperate!" These are just the things I heard from the elders of our village. But there's one more thing I know. Dong Fei said nervously: "What's the matter?" ”

Grandpa Gao took another cigarette and lit it, "Do you know why that kiln factory is not open?" ”

Dong Fei asked nervously, "Why?" ”

Grandpa Gao sighed: "This has to start from more than ten years ago, when you were young and your family was poor, what should you do?" Everyone is trying to find a way to make money, at this time, I don't know where a person came, said that he came from the north, called Hu Biao, who was fat and fat, and was very energetic, said that he came here to build a factory, and with the consent of the village party secretary of the brigade, he opened a kiln factory in the place of the devil's turret.

Well, everyone has signed up to work there, I also signed up, it opened in less than three months, and it was good at the beginning, but then this boss was going to dig a hole, dig it, dig it, dig it for a month, dig it for a day or two, dig it for a day or two, dig it all around the turret, and I don't know what this boss is going to do, we want to pay the boss anyway, what are we not doing! Just like firing the kiln for a while, digging a hole for a while, the boss sometimes follows the ruler to measure, and he doesn't know what to measure.

Speaking of this, Grandpa Gao paused for a moment and looked at me and Xiaoying, and took a sip of tea: "One night it was very dark, cloudy, and the north wind was blowing, blowing on people's faces like a knife cut pain, Boss Hu called me and Xiaoying's grandfather, and your Uncle Ma (that is, Wang Meimei's father-in-law) to a place where no one was around, and said mysteriously: "Brothers, I have something to ask you for help today, as long as I finish this matter, I will give you double the salary." Xiaoying's grandfather (Lao Li) glanced at me and Lao Ma and said, "What's the matter, just say it, as long as we can do it." ”

Boss Hu smiled lightly and said, I can definitely do it, or dig a hole, the three of us heard it, and breathed a sigh of relief, isn't this the same as usual. Boss Hu said secretly, today is digging in the cave, and you have to knock carefully, what is abnormal, tell me quickly, just let me know, just let the four of us enter the cave, because it has been dug through before, so there is no need to dig, just knock when you go inside.

The four of us entered the cave, I was in a group with Lao Ma, Lao Li (Xiaoying's grandfather) and Boss Hu in a group, and when we walked about 20 meters like this, we suddenly heard Lao Li "Huh|" With a sound, Boss Ma walked up to him next to him and "knocked twice" on the wall, and then said loudly to Xiaoying's grandfather: "Hey, nothing, look inside." ”

In this way, we found it very late and went back, but we found nothing. On the way back, Lao Ma said to us, "Is this Boss Hu looking for something?" I nodded, I probably would! ”

In this way, the three of us went back to the shed to sleep, and not long after, Boss Hu called Lao Li (Xiaoying's grandfather) out again; Go but got up early in the morning and didn't see Lao Li come back, we went outside to look for it, went to Boss Hu to look for it, Boss Hu was not there, I and Lao Ma went to the cave to look for it, or no, we were so anxious that we went around, and then Lao Ma called all the workers to let everyone help find it, because Lao Ma has prestige in Xiaowangzhuang Village, and I didn't find it for a day and a night. Before dawn on the morning of the third day, Lao Li finally returned.

Xiaoying finally couldn't help it, and asked nervously, "Where did my grandfather go?" ”

Uncle lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, sighed: "I don't know this, he didn't talk to anyone after he came back, he still held two broken books in his hand, and kept reading in his mouth, Boss Hu ran away, Boss Hu ran away, just heard that we didn't believe it, who was willing to throw away their own factory, Lao Ma took the lead to find Boss Hu, sure enough, he didn't find it, he has been looking for half a month, then I believed it, but this kiln factory has been opened, what if I can't find the wages owed by the boss to the workers, after everyone discussed let the old horse take the lead, The kiln factory continued, but Lao Li said nothing to let the old horse start, he said that this place is too heavy yin, will die, the old horse did not listen to his words and started construction, just half a year, not bad, and so on, since the beginning of the spring, there will be two injuries a month, either smash the hand, or smash the foot, so open for three years, there is no major incident, to the spring of the fourth year, Lao Li (Xiaoying's grandfather) said nothing to let the old horse start, because of this, Lao Li and the old horse quarreled, In the end, Lao Li threw up his sleeves and went home.

Lao Ma continued to work, the first month was fine, and in the second month, Lao Li came again, and when he walked to Lao Ma's office, he persuaded: "Lao Ma don't do it, if you do it again, something big must happen."

Lao Ma glanced at Lao Li and smiled: "Lao Li, if you want money, I can give some, but I don't want my kiln factory to start, this matter is not discussed." ”

In the end, Lao Li was angry: "Okay, good, good, even if I didn't say anything, you can do whatever you want, and when something happens, don't regret it." After saying that, he shook the door and left.

As soon as he went out, he ran over to his eldest second uncle, Dong Ershun, who ran over crying, ran to Lao Ma's office and cried: "Director Ma, something is wrong..." ”

Lao Ma is a flurry, glaring at Dong Ershun: "What are you panicking about, what are you panicking about, what can you do?" ”

Lao Ma really has prestige, and he really shook Dong Ershun, Dong Ershun cried quietly and said, "My eldest brother he... Fell off the chimney. ”

When Lao Ma heard this, he was really anxious, so he quickly stood up and grabbed Dong Ershun and said, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

When he arrived at the place, Lao Li was also there, he was looking at Dong Dashun's chest, and when he saw Lao Ma coming, Lao Li stood up and said to Lao Ma: "I'll go to your house at night, and I'll leave after speaking." ”

Lao Ma walked up to him and saw that Dong Dashun still had a tone: "Hurry up and send Dashun to the hospital." Lao Ma arranged for Dong Ershun to drive Dashun to the hospital, and after rescue, Dashun's life was saved, but his leg was broken.

Lao Ma was relieved when he heard this, but then he heard that the medical expenses were 50,000 yuan, so he got so much money from there. When I got home, Lao Ma happened to meet Lao Li. I don't know what they said, "the next morning Lao Ma announced that the kiln factory was gone", Lao Ma had prestige and no one dared to object, and when it happened, everyone was worried, so the kiln factory stopped doing it, and lost a sum of money to Dong Dashun's family.

Dong Fei thought to himself, Grandpa Gao must have something else to do this time, and smiled and said, "Uncle, what are you telling us about this, is there anything else you haven't said!" Why don't you come all the way here? ”

Grandpa Gao smiled and lit another cigarette: "Xiaofei, are you smart?" I want to tell you, don't run there if it's okay, I'm afraid something will happen to you; Okay, I've said what I have to say, and it's time for me to go. He stood up and said he was leaving.

Xiaoying said that she wouldn't let Grandpa Gao go, leaving Grandpa Gao here for dinner, and Uncle couldn't help but sit down again. Auntie served a few dishes for a while, and also took out all the old wine drunk during the New Year, Dong Fei stood up and poured wine for Grandpa Gao, and smiled: "Grandpa Gao, I salute you for a cup, thank you for your concern." ”

Grandpa Gao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drink!" ”

Xiao Ying glared at Dong Fei, Dong Fei lowered his head and pretended not to see it, Xiao Ying smiled and said to Grandpa Gao: "Master Gao, I also respect you for your old cup, I wish you good health!" ”

The uncle took a bite of food and said with a smile: "Xiaoying said that he would drink this glass of wine, thank you Xiaoying for saving our family Xiaolei!" He toasted.

After eating this meal for two hours, Grandpa Gao saw that it was almost dark, and said to Dong Fei and Xiaoying: "It's not early, I should go back, or your grandma should be in a hurry." "As he spoke, he stood up and was leaving.

Xiaoying kept a few words, Dong Fei knew that he couldn't keep it, and said to Grandpa Gao with a smile: "Grandpa Gao, I won't keep you old, if Xiaofei doesn't entertain you well, you will take care of it." ”

Grandpa Gao laughed and said, "Second child! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you'll be able to talk again! Okay, don't send it, remember what I said, I really can't go to that place in the kiln factory anymore, I'm going home. ”
