Chapter 71: Door-to-door delivery
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for delivery.
But there was silence in the black market, and there was no Fanbang at all.
Lu Qingcao took out thousands of catties of grain from the space, and finally made up enough for five thousand catties.
She borrowed a few ox carts and drove all the grain to the black market.
The scene of Shengda is like the New Year, and many people come together to watch the excitement.
Li Hongyun also had red eyes, grabbed Lu Qingcao's sleeve, and couldn't wait to praise her to the sky: "Qingcao, you really got it together, I thought this business couldn't be done......
In the middle of the next few days, Zhao Xiaozi did not find trouble with Li Hongyun, she took the child to hide in Tibet, and finally avoided it.
Looking at the mountain-like grain, Li Hongyun felt that the previous grievances had dissipated.
The two guarded more than a dozen carts of grain. I waited for a long time.
There was silence in the back mountain, not to mention the Fanbang people, not even a Fanbang horse.
"What's going on? Fanbang people have always been honest and will not miss the appointment. Li Hongyun muttered, feeling uneasy, "Could it be that Zhao Xiaozi went to say something?" ”
After thinking about it, he denied: "He has been staring at me, and he has no time to care about these things." ”
After another hour, the mountain was still empty.
Lu Qingcao couldn't wait: "Auntie, do they have any other places to meet?" ”
More than a dozen truckloads of grain were pulled with great difficulty, and then pulled back as they were, not to mention people, and the cattle couldn't bear it.
Li Hongyun nodded: "Yes, but it's far away." ”
After understanding, Lu Qingcao knew that it was not only far away, but also very far.
The black market is dozens of miles away from Fanbang, and another meeting place is on the border of Fanbang.
Fifty miles of mountain roads and five thousand catties of grain can't be completed at all.
Li Hongyun hesitated: "Otherwise, go back first, and take a look in a few days." ”
She retreated.
A dark cloud drifted in the sky, obscuring the bright sun.
A heavy rain is inevitable.
If the grain is rained, it will quickly spoil, and it will be too late to find a way.
"Let's go." Lu Qingcao grabbed the reins and said positively.
Fortunately, Li Hongyun returned to her parents' house, and the child would not have an accident if his grandfather watched him.
With the lesson of the last time, Li Hongyun's trust in Lu Qingcao reached the extreme: "Okay, then let's go!" ”
The two men tied the ox cart together and walked slowly towards the frontier.
One by one, the cows walked in an orderly manner.
——
In the small courtyard, Granny Qin held Lu Tingting with one hand and the door frame with the other.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and the door frame blown by the north wind rattles, as if the doors and windows will be blown away in the next moment.
Lu Qingcao hasn't come back yet.
The raindrops the size of beans crackled and hit the roof, as if they were about to smash the roof.
Lu Yihua and Lu Erli sat on the threshold, looking down the mountain with small faces.
"Grandma, when will my mother come back?" Lu Yihua's little face was stained with worry.
Lu Erli couldn't help but speak: "Grandma, let's go to the village entrance to welcome the young." ”
The wind and rain are heavy, and no one dares to let them out.
Granny Qin stopped the two children: "It's not okay, we'll wait at home, don't make trouble for your mother." ”
She is old and can't help much, but if she can take good care of the three children and prevent them from making trouble, she is already doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
The two little radish heads nodded as if they understood whether they understood or not, and Baba stood guard at the door.
"Grandma, you see someone is coming!" Lu Erli suddenly pointed to the bottom of the mountain and shouted loudly.
Granny Qin tilted her head and tried to distinguish the sound with her ears.
The figure got closer and closer, and Lu Yihua recognized the person first: "It's not my mother, it's my grandmother......
Granny Qin was puzzled for a few seconds, reacted instantly, and pulled the two children into the house.
The sound of the wind mixed with the sound of the rain knocked on the doors and windows little by little.
Zhao Hehua, Su Dazhuang, and Tian Xiao'e braved the wind and rain to walk up the mountain, and it took a while to walk to the door.
"Mother, the courtyard door is closed, is there no one?" Su Dazhuang spoke first.
Several people were wearing robes, Tian Xiao'e was thin and thin, and the whole person was wrapped in a coat, and only after struggling to peel it off did a pair of eyes be revealed.
Zhao Hehua leaned on crutches and gasped: "No, I saw the door open just now, they must be inside." ”
She walked to the door and slammed her fist on the door: "Open the door, Lu Qingcao, open the door quickly!" The Su family was drenched in heavy rain, so you should take it as a good deed and take us in for two days! ”
Su Dazhuang's deep voice also sounded: "Yihua, Erli, you beg your mother, your father is still in the house, his injuries are not healed, and if it rains again, his condition will worsen, and he may die." ”
The house collapsed?!
Granny Qin stood at the door, her expression slightly hesitant.
Today's rain is indeed heavy, and if it weren't for the sturdy newly built house, I'm afraid they would have been drenched in the rain too.
Lu Yihua and Lu Erli didn't dare to show their heads, so they could only lean on the window and look out cautiously.
"Is the house really collapsing? It must be a lie, how come I don't remember the previous house leaking? Lu Erli muttered quietly.
She was young, and she had been in drought for several years, so naturally she had never seen heavy rain.
Lu Yihua also frowned, she remembered that when she was a child, she held her sister to hide from the rain on the kang, and the water in the house was deeper than in the yard.
However, Zhao Hehua's house has never leaked rain, and the rain always shines in the Westinghouse.
"Grandma, don't believe them, they must be trying to take over the house." Lu Erli guarded the doors and windows, and made a momentum that was incomprehensible.
She didn't believe what Zhao Lotus said, she didn't believe a word!
Granny Qin's heart softened.
She remembered the hut she lived in before, and every time it rained, it would rain heavily outside, and it would rain lightly inside, so she could only sleep under a wet quilt.
She couldn't bear it.
After all, Su Eryou is the children's father, and he can't watch his father die.
The knock on the door became louder and louder, and at the end it was almost a hammer on the door.
"Open the door! Lu Qingcao, you don't give us the money you earned, and now you don't even care about the lives of a few members of our family?! Do you still have a conscience? Tian Xiao'e also knocked on the door.
Granny Qin trembled and grabbed her crutches, not knowing what to do.
Even if they are not ex-in-laws, everyone is a neighbor of a village, and it is always difficult to see death and not save it.
The room was silent, and the three of Zhao Lotus at the door also muttered.
"Mother, could it be that they are not here? I heard that the grass had gone out early in the morning with an ox cart. Su Dazhuang wiped a handful of rain and pulled the clothes on his body tightly.
Zhao Hehua also lost his confidence.
According to Lu Qingcao's temper, after saying those words just now, she should have scolded and scolded.
Why is there no movement at all?
