Susie returned to the collective household, Tian Xiaohui was in the house, she was very happy to see Susie, "You're back?" I thought you'd be going to go for a long time like last time. ”

Susie smiled, "It's a bit of a matter to come back, and I'm going out tomorrow." ”

Tian Xiaohui approached her, "You weren't at home yesterday, you didn't know that we were lively here." ”

"Lively?" Susie asked, "What's so busy?" ”

Tian Xiaohui pointed to the next door, "The aunt from the seventh row is here, kneeling in our yard, begging Qin Man to let her son go." ”

"A lot of people are watching the excitement, and our collective household is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside."

Susie frowned, "So what did you do in the end?" ”

"Qin Man was locked in the house anyway and never came out."

"Tingting couldn't bear it, so she took a broom to get rid of that aunt."

"Auntie didn't leave anyway, she knelt on the ground and cried, Tingting's broom hit her, she didn't leave, and finally it was the women's director Zhang Lanying who called a few people to get the aunt away."

Tian Xiaohui whispered: "I heard many people say that that man may be sentenced to death. ”

Susie thought about it, it was really possible to impose a death sentence in this era.

It was purely the man's own death.

Qin Man originally didn't want to report the case, but their family was still entangled, and they wanted to marry Qin Man home while destroying Qin Man's reputation.

Susie asked, "How is Qin Man?" ”

Tian Xiaohui shook her head, "I don't know." ”

"Yu Xue cooked food for her to bring in, anyway, she hasn't come out in the past few days."

After running around for so long, Susie was also tired, so she went to the stove house to fetch water and wash, and then climbed into bed to rest.

Tian Xiaohui didn't dare to quarrel with her, she was bored playing cards.

Susie woke up from her sleep until almost four o'clock, got up and knitted her sweater for a while, and went to the stove to cook on the fire.

Zhao Tingting came back from work and was very happy to see Susie, stir-frying with her hands and feet.

The meals were all cooked, and they didn't see Qiao Mu Yuan just when they came back.

When it was almost dark, a few of them came in to fetch water and wash their hands.

Zhao Tingting saw that several people were all covered in ash, "What are you doing, making it like this." ”

Yuan Gang looked at Niu Jianguo, who was washing dishes not far away, and whispered, "Let's find a place to burn charcoal on the mountain." ”

"Qiao Mu said that winter is coming, the house is cold, the firewood is smoky, and the charcoal is warm and smokeless."

Susie glanced at Qiao Mu with some surprise, charcoal burning should be a technical job, and she didn't know how Qiao Mu could do it.

When she saw Qiao Mu looking at her, she gave him a thumbs up, "That's great, then we won't be afraid of the cold in winter." ”

Susie felt the corners of Qiao Mu's mouth seem to be raised.

Although this can't be called a laugh, since Qiao Mu went down to the lake in the middle of the night on the day of the fight, he has been silent, frowning, as if he has infinite thoughts.

I'm finally happy to look at it today.

The tables and chairs were set out, everyone gathered around to eat, and seeing Niu Jianguo washing the dishes and going out, Susie whispered: "I think that if you can really burn charcoal, you can take it to the county seat and sell it." ”

People in the countryside burn firewood, but they can't burn firewood in the city, and charcoal is generally used for heating in winter.

Zhu Zhicheng's eyes lit up.

Yuan Gang was also excited when he heard this, he was also quite short of money, if only the charcoal burned could be sold for some money.

Qiao Mu didn't make a sound, he didn't care if he had money or not, he didn't want Susie to freeze in winter.

Zhu Zhicheng hesitated, "I just don't know if this thing can be sold." ”

Although he wanted to make money, he didn't want to be dragged to labor reform because of speculation.

Susie thought for a while, "Otherwise, isn't my aunt in the county, they will definitely need charcoal for heating in winter, I will take a time to go to see if there are any people in their family who want charcoal, and send them directly, so it is safe and saves me from selling it on the black market." ”

Zhu Zhicheng nodded, "This method is good." ”

Susie smiled, "Then you burn more, I guess there will be a lot of people who want it." ”

Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng thought about it, and now that the weather is starting to get cold, there is no work to do in the field, and it is really a good thing that burning charcoal will not delay them from earning work, and they can still earn money.

Susie couldn't help but praise Qiao Mu again, "Qiao Mu is really powerful, he can do anything." ”

Qiao Mu looked at Susie, pursed his lips and his eyes lit up.

After eating, Susie said to Zhu Zhicheng, and the sixth son slept with him for one night at night, and Zhu Zhicheng nodded and agreed without saying a word.

As he was talking, Liuzi came over, Liuzi is a self-cooked, Susie doesn't have to care about him, he quickly mingled with Zhu Zhicheng and Yuan Gang, but Qiao Mu was a little cold and didn't pay much attention to people.

Susie was about to go to bed early, and Xu Changgui hurriedly came over.

He pulled Susie into the courtyard, "I originally planned to go to Liujiagang with you, but someone from the commune informed me in the afternoon that I would go to the commune for a meeting early tomorrow morning." ”

"Otherwise, I'll ask Accountant Zhang to accompany you on a trip."

Susie shook her head, "No need, I'll go alone." ”

Accountant Zhang followed, she and Uncle Liao were afraid that their secrets would not be hidden.

Xu Changgui thought about it and didn't feel at ease, "You are a girl, you have to squeeze the train with so much money, it's too unsafe." ”

Susie smiled, "Second grandfather, there's nothing unsafe. ”

"Accountant Zhang is a man, and it's inconvenient for me to go on a business trip with him."

Xu Changgui thought about it, "Can you really do it alone?" ”

Susie nodded, "Yes." ”

Xu Changgui hesitated for a while, thinking that Susie was very clever, and she should be fine.

He took out a thick envelope from his coat pocket, "Four hundred yuan, more money for formalities, and your travel expenses, you must drive the tractor back for me." ”

Susie opened the envelope and ordered some money in front of Xu Changgui, four hundred yuan was not more than one cent, not a penny.

There is also a letter of introduction stamped with the official seal of the horn production team.

Susie nodded, "Second grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust and drive the tractor back for you." ”

Xu Changgui smiled, "Be careful on the road." ”

Early the next morning, before dawn, Susie got up.

didn't make breakfast, and went to Liao's house with Liuzi, and Aunt Lan baked cakes for the two of them.

The two hurried in the dark, and it was less than eight o'clock when they arrived at the county seat.

Then I went to the train station to wait for the train, ran all the way, and finally arrived at Liujiagang at 11 o'clock at noon.

Uncle Liao and Liuzi accompanied Susie to see the tractor first.

The tractor was parked in an empty room next to the warehouse of the Liujiagang brigade.

Susie first showed the letter of introduction to Captain Liu, and then asked Uncle Liu to explain to her how to drive the tractor, and she had to test drive it before buying a car.

Uncle Liu first took the rocker and inserted it into a hole in the front of the tractor, and then asked Susie to shake it.

Susie's whole body pressed up, almost used the strength of breastfeeding, and shook it vigorously several times before the diesel engine "suddenly" sounded.

Susie pulled out the crank and gasped, this job of shaking a tractor was really not something that a small body like her could do.
