Chapter 42: A Long Journey

After all, autumn in the north is like autumn, the verdant mountains have become green, and the frost and fog in the early morning will make people feel extraordinarily cold. And after the sun rises, the warmth makes people feel unusually hot.

This special climate originated in the northern inland mountains, an old-style bus through the highway, strictly speaking, is not a highway, the speed limit is eighty, not the undulating road, or the black hole hole as long as several kilometers of the road, and then the viaduct, look out of the window, the cliff that is dozens of meters deep can scare the tourists who have not seen this scenery into a cold sweat.

Geng Baolei was scared, he watched it a few times, nauseous, Guan Qianjiao thought he was motion sick and wanted to find a bag, but he didn't expect Geng Baolei to be just scared, so he wanted to change seats with her, and didn't rush to sit at the window. The two exchanged, Geng Baolei looked back at Bao Xiaosan in the back seat, San'er tilted his head, snoring louder than the engine, and slept soundly.

"Is it better?" Guan Qianjiao handed over the mineral water, Geng Baolei refused, and said awe-inspiringly: "This place is scared to death, more terrifying than the wasteland of the soldiers." ”

"Mountainous areas, it's normal, it's already very good, when I was a child, my father took me to the construction site for the summer vacation, that's called a horror, from the city to the tent of the survey team, you have to walk more than ten kilometers. Guan Qianjiao said.

"It's not honorable, it only proves poverty...... Where is it?" said Geng Baolei.

"To ...... Near the Mang River, there are still 25 kilometers away from Xiangshan County, and it should be half an hour away. Guan Qianjiao said, calculating the distance, she had already calculated, to Xiangshan and then to Fanhe Township, there are still forty kilometers, from Fanhe Township to Dajianshan, there are still twenty-five kilometers, before dark, she should be able to rush to Qiu Di's house.

Yes, the ultimate destination of this trip is Qiu Di's house, but he didn't contact Qiu Di in advance, only Bao Xiaosan and Qiu Di jokingly said that they wanted to go to his house, Qiu Di didn't jokingly say, I'll tell you the address, you can't find the door. When you come to my house, you think that Shu Dao is difficult to brag.

The two half-jokingly gambled, and then the three of them came by car, ready to surprise Qiu Di, of course, there is a deeper meaning, wanting to pull Qiu Di back into the small team, the small team is missing Qiu Di, they all feel like they have no backbone, and the simplest opinions are difficult to unify. This mention was also supported by Director Tang Ying, and even the cost of coming here was sponsored by her.

After resting for a while, Geng Baolei came to his senses, leaned into Guan Qianjiao's ear and whispered: "Qianjiao, do you think I'm thinking about what the company is doing......? It's really hard to do this business investigation. ”

Guan Qianjiao glanced at him sideways, this is the truth, he stayed in Beijing for a month, half of the time was shopping, but there was work, one was to investigate the women's underwear market, this work was really not allowed to enter; another was someone to HBNTT CNC micro machine tool sales investigation, this live has never heard of it; there is also a family to ask for borosilicate chemical production materials, not to mention, after reading the requirements provided by people in the morning, I was stunned that I didn't understand the meaning of those chemical formulas.

"There is no one-size-fits-all approach to this industry, as long as you come across a list that suits you, it will be very easy, not open for three years, open for three years. Would you like to work from 9 to 5 every day?" asked Guan Qianjiao.

Definitely unwilling, Geng Baolei thought for a while and said: "Tun Bing is a special case, I see that the commissions provided by Tang Ying are not high, thousands of yuan, at most tens of thousands of yuan, and the commission in our hands is definitely not much." ”

"I said, why are you like this? You don't have a job, you have to worry about it, and you have a job to do. Guan Qianjiao reprimanded.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, anyway, I'm on the thief ship, I really can't do it, I'll go back to the Harman company, he has to give me a place, right?" Geng Baolei said.

Guan Qianjiao whispered to him, you want to be beautiful, you can mix in a business company, which one is not a human spirit, which one can have no contact with a few people who do research work, do you really think Harman will pay you to support a half-baked artist who doesn't understand the profession and has a low level?

Geng Baolei lost his confidence again in an instant, he hurriedly stopped, and changed the topic: "However, it may not be possible to pull Qiu Di on the boat, he is also a half-level, in terms of professionalism, this is not a matter of one plus one equals two, let's get together together, at most a super half-hanger." ”

"Wrong, this line of vision and thinking is very important, and professionalism is secondary. ”

Guan Qianjiao counted with her fingers, the reason why the soldiers in the garrison have repeatedly succeeded is because Qiu Di's vision is very accurate, including getting into the horse to open up the wasteland and capture the back kitchen, including infiltrating the team of group performances, including capturing the information of third-party business spies, all in a simple way, but with miraculous results. Of course, the most important thing is that he took the initiative to approach Qi Lianbao and had information that could pry Harman and Huaxin. Moreover, this trading plan successfully avoids risks.

In fact, there is no such trading plan, Pengcheng will still fall, the difference is only the length of time, but it can profit from it, let alone her, Mr. Xie didn't expect that in the end, Huaxin gave a big order of two million.

"Don't say it, it's all tears when you say it, earning such a small amount of money almost cost your life, and people earn millions in the company. "Geng Baolei is a little psychologically unbalanced.

"Hehe, without the hard work of earning 100,000 yuan, there will be no joy of earning 1 million in the future, step by step, everyone wants to become fat in one bite, is it possible? Guan Qianjiao said.

Yes, this is also a business, between companies and individuals, never put on the table to talk about the transaction, these days Geng Baolei also touched a little business company operation mode, those human-like supervisors, managers, including the general manager, are almost all intelligence dealers, Guan Qianjiao joined the business investment group, almost all of them are intelligence dealers, almost not covering the whole industry, the general rule is very simple: money!

"For the sake of money, I'll stick with it for a few more months...... However, what if Qiu Di is unwilling to come? Or, what if he is admitted to the teacher's examination? If he is admitted, he will definitely not want to give up. Geng Baolei asked, and also added an example, there is a lottery winner of 5 million, stunned is unwilling to give up the monthly salary of 3,000 civil servants, no matter how to say that in the current official-based society, it is the right way to be a national talent.

"Try your luck, didn't San'er say it, maybe he won't be able to pass the exam, and he will have to come out to find a job. Guan Qianjiao smiled.

The two looked at each other and smiled evilly, there are not many things that wish people were unlucky, the purpose of this trip is to take Qiu Di's classmates off the list and follow everyone back to be business spies.

Talking all the way, the county town soon arrived, woke up Bao Xiaosan, who was sleeping in a daze, the three got off the car, and just got out of the station, a group of black car drivers came up, calling to get on the bus and leave, a few people looked at the sign in a dazzled manner, listening to the country accent that was not very clear, and finally met someone who could speak Mandarin, and when he heard Fanhe Township, the buddy slapped up: five hundred!

There is no shortage of these rip-offs in a foreign land, the three of them ignored it, turned back to the station information office, those black car drivers looked at them with a proud smile, and came out dejected in a blink of an eye.

Instead of staying for a day, it was better to hire a black car, and the three of them bargained, pressed down a hundred, and sat in a broken bread that was ventilated on all sides, and went straight to the township. Saying that the 400 yuan is really not wronged, the car is almost in the mountains, the asphalt road does not know how many years have not been repaired, the pit is bigger than the wheel, and the local driver can walk this way, stumbling, driving a tank is also like flying on the road, bumpy Bao Xiaosan shouted, this is really a pain, not a metaphor, but two eggs hurt together.

Guan Qianjiao reprimanded him and asked the driver Dajianshan, and the driver said that the van in that place couldn't go up at all, and he couldn't go there with no money, but he gave a Jianyi, and went to the township to find a diesel tricycle to go up the mountain.

Shaking for more than two hours, when the three of them got out of the car, they were already crumbling, the bones of the body seemed to be shaken apart, and the heart was cold again, the driver was anxious to ask for money to go, Guan Qianjiao paid for the car, the car hurriedly smoked and slipped away She felt that something was wrong, and waited for a long time before she found out that the direction was wrong, and there were still ten kilometers away from Fanhe Township. The one on the side of the road was a large village, not a township at all.

"Oh, you can't go anywhere. Geng Baolei wanted to cry without tears, it was too dark, and he ran away without pulling to the place and throwing people down.

"You're right, wherever you go now, people are like this. "Bao Xiaosan is very wise and authentic, educating Guan Qianjiao and Geng Baolei, depending on your IQ, the higher your IQ when you go to other places, the more you will be cheated into a stupid X.

"Then you can do it, are you silent?" General Geng Baolei, Bao Xiaosan said, I haven't woken up yet, you all gave the money, look at me, you have to find someone to help, you have to be able to arouse people's sympathy, look at you two dressed so well, don't you pull hatred in the countryside.

Teach you...... Bao Xiaosan's coat was thrown to Geng Baolei, he took off his shirt, revealing his black chest and back, he touched the ground with a touch of soil, and then rubbed it on his face and head, and instantly became an unkempt migrant worker, and he was very down-and-out.

He waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to follow into the village, looking for those old people in the family and shouting: "Auntie, are you going to beg for a glass of water to drink?"

The baby is pitiful like this, and the old man can see it, and quickly beckons people to come in and do a good deed. After a while, Bao Xiaosan successfully wiped his mouth and came out excitedly, pointing back with his hand: There are still more than ten miles away from Fanhe Township, and more than forty miles away from Dajian Mountain.

This was solved, and followed the guidance of the eldest mother, and found a big yard with a lacquer door, a large family was taking off corn in the yard, and Bao Xiaosan said sadly: "Uncle, I came all the way from Henan to find relatives in this place...... The village lady said, you have a car, can you give me a ride?"

The mother-in-law who took off the corn, the farmer who pulled the rake, and the pitiful appearance of Bao Xiaosan's gray face were a little difficult.

Bao Xiaosan hurriedly paid the money: "I pay for the journey...... I'm looking for the surname of the Dajianshan family. ”

"Veteran's baby. The mother-in-law remembered something, as if the family knew each other, and urged the man to help, and the travel expenses were calculated, and he got some gas money.

It seems that a high IQ may not be able to succeed, Bao Xiaosan easily solved it, staring at the two of them wide-eyed, and they couldn't accept it. The sudden tricycle sounded, and the new means of transportation was available again, and the three of them jumped into the car excitedly and stuffed money for the man.

As soon as I got on the road, I got to the township and made do, when I started to go up the mountain, the faces of the three people changed dramatically, this is called the road, it is purely the earth cannon on the cliff, the gravel is everywhere, several places eroded by wind and rain, only one car is wide and narrow, and the angle is very terrifying, almost vertically upward, the three people are lying on their stomachs, the whole body is nervously looking ahead, trembling, sweating dare not come out.

Oh~~~~~ with a good trill, Geng Baolei saw a large protruding stone above his head, as if it was about to fall down at any time.

Ah~~~~~ let out an exclamation, but it was Bao Xiaosan who looked out of the car, the bottomless bottom of the stream, and it was black and hollow during the day, and his scalp was numb.

Ah~~~~~ there was another scream, and Guan Qianjiao saw some unknown small animal lying on the side of the road, and ran up the cliff.

Frightened, scared, nervous, the man who drove laughed from time to time, and said his hometown dialect proudly, but he finally understood, he said that he had found him, and there were few cars that dared to get on this road.

"Uncle, who is the veteran? Is his surname Qiu?" Guan Qianjiao was afraid that he would find the wrong one, it would be miserable.

"There is only one family in Dajianshan, and there is no other home except them. The driver shouted.

"Wow, I know why Qiu Di is such an animal, and he has to be a beast to live in this place. Bao Xiaosan was carrying the car rail, excited.

Guan Qianjiao yelled at him, for fear that he would talk nonsense, but fortunately, the car was quite loud, and the one in front didn't hear it.

After shaking in fear for more than an hour, he drove to a gentle place, a flat land in a mountain pass, and a few dilapidated old houses, during which there was a family with smoke rising from the cooking, and the man driving pointed and said, "That's it, here." ”

"Uncle, do you think it's him?" Guan Qianjiao was the first to jump out of the car, lighting up the photo on her mobile phone.

The man fixed his eyes: "It's not wrong, the black boy only came back yesterday." ”

The three of them were excited when they heard the news, and bowed to the man again and again, and scattered the smoke, but the man said that he would go up the mountain again, take a few rafters back, and go to the veteran's house for dinner in a while, and let a few people go over to say hello first.

Hey, this is completely relieved, the three of them ran to the place where the smoke rose, from nervous to relaxed, the sweat on the body retreated, tired and soft, and tired and hungry, Bao Xiaosan ran with it, hurry, don't rest, there will be food when you get to Qiu Di's house.

But unexpectedly, there was an accident, the three of them ran to the courtyard gate, pushed to the firewood around the door, and were dumbfounded, the door of the house was locked, the yard was burning, and a large pot was sitting on the stove, and the steam brought out a sweet smell.

Bao Xiaosan didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, lifted the lid of the pot, his eyes lit up, and the steamer was a small and delicate, red-skinned little sweet potato, he reached out and took a boast and stuffed it into his mouth.

"There's no one at home, what are you messing with?" Geng Baolei shouted.

"That's right, San'er, just came to the door like this. Guan Qianjiao's retort, why is she so powerless? Her eyes were staring at the pot of small sweet potatoes, so greedy for color.

"What's polite to him? Come and eat...... It's delicious. ”

Bao Xiaosan said, picking it up for the two, this sweet taste still conquered the tired and hungry two, tried one, and then they all began to gobble it up, all nodding their heads and saying, delicious, really delicious, much better than roasted sweet potatoes in the city.

The three of them got carried away from eating, and suddenly there was a burst of dog barking, followed by a few black and white dogs, howling and running, and being caught, Geng Baolei was so shocked that he sat on the ground with his buttocks, pointed to the outside of the courtyard to speak, but was choked by sweet potatoes, eyebrows and glaring, the word "dog" was stuck in his throat, Bao Xiaosan hurriedly picked a stick in his hand, stood at the door, and danced a few earth dogs barking and wanted to pounce.

"Hatred...... Di ......" Bao Xiaosan was in a hurry and shouted.

Sigh...... A sharp whistle, the dogs heard it, turned around and ran backwards, and in a moment, the Qiu Di with a load of golden corn cobs appeared on the village road, followed by barking dogs, dressed in old clothes, dusty face, just returned from working in the field, this image saw Bao Xiaosan stunned for a while, he was always envious, this work is like an animal, no wonder he is better than him everywhere.

Qiu Di looked at the door of the house and shouted, "No, San'er, can you really find my house?"

"I'm cāo, you're home, the tiger's den and the wolf's lair are not so sinister. Bao Xiaosan threw the stick.

Qiu Di laughed, carrying the corn as fast as flying, and when Geng Baolei and Guan Qianjiao stood up in front of him, he was so shocked that he almost stumbled, walked into the yard quickly, put down the burden, and looked at the three of them in amazement, Geng Baolei hurriedly said: "We are on vacation, discussing whose house to play, there is no one in my house, so we can only follow them." ”

"There's no one in my house, so there's nothing to do. "Bao Xiaosandao.

Guan Qianjiao smiled, and Qiu Di asked, "There is no one in your family?"

"Someone. Guan Qianjiao smiled: "But I can't take the two men back, how can I tell my mother." ”

"Hey, so, I can only come to your house to play, are you welcome?" Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei said in unison.

"Then you should say it in advance. I can't afford to take this place to put you on the road. Qiu Di was displeased, and the three of them were really surprised to be here.

"Then don't we want to surprise you?" Guan Qianjiao said, a little embarrassed.

Well, Qiu Di was silent, his eyes fell on the scattered pot, and he had a depressed expression. Guan Qianjiao hurriedly wiped her mouth, and Qiu Di pointed with a smile: "You guys...... Eat it all?"

"What's wrong with eating your sweet potatoes?"

"We tasted it and it tasted good. Geng Baolei said embarrassedly.

"Eat you to give you face, why, don't invite us in. Bao Xiaosan said very stiffly.

"Oh, you really don't think of yourself as an outsider...... Come, come in. ”

Qiu Di turned around and opened the door, and the three of them entered the hall, this house can be used as an antique, the old-style table, the polished Taishi chair, the hanging hall or long live Chairman Mao, the three sat down with interest, and as soon as the water was drawn into the pot, they heard a female voice shouting: "Di'er, who is coming?"

"A few classmates. Qiu Di of boiling water said.

"Then you hurry up and cook, your father and your uncle Gen chop a few rafters, and they will be back soon. "The woman said.

"Okay. Qiu Di was shouting.

"Don't forget the steamed sweet potatoes, mix the ingredients and feed the pigs. The woman was crying out.

"Ah, I see. The flute responded.

The three people in the room looked at each other, Geng Baolei was so angry that he pointed at Bao Xiaosan, punched a few punches in his back, and scolded angrily: "That's for pigs, let's eat all the pig food." ”

"Didn't you say it was delicious?" Bao Xiaosan smiled, looked sideways at Guan Qianjiao, and he reminded: "You also said it." ”

Guan Qianjiao didn't say a word, knocked and kicked Bao Xiaosan a few times, the three of them complained to each other, and inadvertently found that Qiu Di was peeping, he stretched his neck, exposed half of his head from outside the door, and smiled evilly, and the three uninvited guests laughed a little embarrassed.

For dinner, steamed sweet potatoes with rice soup, the big sweet potatoes were put on the table, and Bao Xiaosan and a few people hiccuped, and no one could eat it......
