Chapter 16: Vigilant Director Bai
After the uncle who sells popsicles shouted
In the shade of a tree next to the guard's room, an old man in a white vest stood up with a fan in his hand: "What's the matter?" β
"Come here, ask you something!" The uncle who sells popsicles said.
The doorman Lao Dong came over.
The uncle who sold popsicles turned his head to Ji Yuanhai: "What do you have to say to him!" β
Ji Yuanhai told the doorman Lao Dong the reason he had just thought of.
The uncle who sold popsicles added: "It's noon, the water is smoking, and it's not a way for the two children to bask here, can you help them find it?" β
The doorman Lao Dong said: "Lao Zhao, you are also looking for something for me to do." β
"Who knows if the one who said it was a county family home was a liar? Are you packing me a ticket? β
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling.
The young man has straight eyebrows and eyes, and does not look like a bad person; The girl is full of books, and she doesn't look like a bad person.
Ji Yuanhai hurriedly spoke, first thanking Lao Zhao, who sold popsicles: "Uncle Zhao, thank you for your trouble!" Thank you so much, I wouldn't know what to do if it weren't for you! β
He said to the doorman Lao Dong: "Uncle Dong, you don't have to bother too much. β
"If anyone comes to mind, tell me about it; I didn't think of it, so we'll wait a little longer. β
"Maybe this thing is really unreliable, how can anyone dig a small tree from the mountain and give money?"
He was also thoughtful when he spoke, and the old Zhao who sold popsicles smiled: "If you really want to thank me, then help buy me two popsicles, on a hot day, how good it is to eat a popsicle." β
Ji Yuanhai hurriedly paid for four popsicles, one for himself and Lu Heling, and one for Lao Dong and Lao Zhao: "Uncle Dong, Uncle Zhao, you are fortunate-"
"Hey, you'reβ" The doorman Lao Dong was surprised.
Lao Zhao smiled: "Let's go, it's just a popsicle, people's minds." Just say two words, what is there not to say? β
Saying that, he took the popsicle and unwrapped the wrapper: "I sell popsicles, but I am not very willing to eat popsicles, and today I am happy." β
Looking at Ji Yuanhai is more and more pleasing to the eye, this young man is very clever and transparent, and he likes it when he looks at it.
As soon as he urged like this, the doorman Lao Dong took the popsicle a little embarrassed, "Okay, I'll tell you about the situation." β
"If you like to fiddle with bonsai, there are only three or five people in the entire family home, and it's really not difficult to find people."
The doorman Lao Dong said: "But I can't tell you about the situation of other people, if you want, just follow me to wait under the tree." β
"When I see it, I'll say hello and help you ask about the situation."
Today, it can be regarded as being a nosy thing to be made by Lao Zhao, who sells popsicles.
But the duty of the doorman cannot be lost, and he can't always come to someone to say a few good words, and let people run around in the family courtyard, in case it is a petty theft and robbery, he, the doorman, is responsible.
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling hurriedly thanked Uncle Zhao, who sold popsicles, and followed the doorman Uncle Dong to the bottom of the tree with popsicles.
After eating the popsicles, more than half an hour later, Uncle Dong stood up and greeted a cadre who entered the door: "Director Bai! β
Director Bai nodded and smiled politely: "Uncle Dong, do you have something to do with me?" β
"Director Bai, that's the case, there is a commune below here, saying that someone asked him to dig a small tree as a bonsai, and give him money when the time comes."
"It was said that the people from the county family home were looking for him."
"I think you know more about bonsai, ask if you know this person."
Hearing this, Director Bai's brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling.
This man and woman are both very good-looking, not like villains.
But Director Bai had already raised the alarm bell in his heart.
My hobby of bonsai, strangers who came out of nowhere, went up the mountain to dig trees to make bonsai...... It's all trivial, but once it's all added up, who knows if it's a trap?
"Which commune are you from? What is your name? What identity? β
Director Bai asked sternly in a deep voice, and the polite smile on his face was all retracted.
Seeing his attitude, Lao Dong was startled and immediately shrank aside.
Oh no, it's trouble!
Lu Heling's face also turned pale - before she improved her life, she offended this cadre first?
Just ask, why did you offend him? Could it be that Ji Yuanhai's words were seen by him as false?
Ji Yuanhai was also puzzled by Director Bai's change in attitude.
Is he treating me as an enemy? But why is there such an idea?
He was still calmly answering: "Director Bai, I am a member of the Xiaoshantun Production Brigade of the Backing Mountain Commune, and my name is Ji Yuanhai. β
"This is my lover, her name is Lu Heling, she is an educated youth in the countryside."
Director Bai continued to ask: "Who asked you to dig trees to make bonsai?" How many trees did you dig up? Who told you to come here to find someone? β
Ji Yuanhai listened to his three questions, and finally understood in his heart.
This Director Bai is a very vigilant person!
When it comes to digging trees to make bonsai, he suspects that there are other aspects, and he suspects that someone is going to make a fuss, such as digging trees is a big hat like digging collective property.
I came to make bonsai to get close to him.
According to Director Bai's line of thinking, no matter what Ji Yuanhai did, he was scheming and ill-intentioned.
Ji Yuanhai secretly scolded bad luck and tried to make some money with bonsai, how could he meet such a person.
Say a few more words to this kind of person whose mind is full of calculations, and he will almost be "conclusive".
"Director Bai, I'll tell you the truth. We're here to find someone to sell bonsai, and we don't know you, so if you don't buy it, don't ask. β
"We still have to find someone who said we wanted to buy bonsai."
Ji Yuanhai said.
Don't ask if you don't buy it? Is it really a business? Not a trap?
When Director Bai heard this, his expression finally eased slightly: "Really? β
"Really."
"Did you dig up the tree?" Director Bai asked again.
"We haven't dug the tree yet." Ji Yuanhai replied, "There is no accurate word, which of us will go up the mountain and dig trees?" Isn't that stupid? β
Director Bai nodded: "That's right. β
"I don't really like bonsai very much, you're looking for the wrong person."
After speaking, Director Bai walked forward.
Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and the doorman Lao Dong all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
If this Director Bai doesn't give up, something will really happen today.
Fortunately, Ji Yuanhai was calm and calm, and dispelled his suspicions in time.
At this moment, Director Bai, who had just walked a few steps, suddenly turned back with a smile on his face.
"You say, you can make bonsai?"
"No, I'll dig up trees." Ji Yuanhai knew that this person was not easy to get along with, it was definitely not an opportunity, it would only be a trouble, so he should not do bonsai at all.
"If you can dig trees...... Director Bai said, "If you can dig trees, you will plant trees, and if you can plant trees, you will plant flowers." β
"Don't you want to make money selling bonsai flowers and plants? I'll show you a way, and you'll be able to make money, and a lot of money. β
"Are you going?"
