Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 167

Xue Jianguo sighed, and took a bite of the wowotou.

He said angrily in his heart, "I don't know what the leader of the rolling mill is thinking. Letting you, the most powerful hunter in the city, not look for him, he wants to look for other people. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse?"

Chu Xiangqian thought it through and said, "Second brother, I guess this matter involves a fight between the leadership of the rolling mill, so let's pretend that we don't know that someone in the rolling mill is trapped in the mountains.

If the helpers found in the factory can really rescue the hunting team, it is actually a great thing.

If we don't find it, if we go into the mountain again, it will make us more powerful! "

Xue Jianguo sighed and nodded, "That's the only way."

After finishing speaking, it was only then that I was able to focus on the stewed fish with shredded radish in the lunch box.

"Why are you eating stewed fish again?"

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at him, "If you dislike it, then don't eat it."

"Don't, don't, don't," Xue Jianguo hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish belly, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang's craftsmanship has improved so much all of a sudden?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I asked the two of them to find a master to learn their skills. There are experts to teach them, and their skills have indeed improved very quickly."

Xue Jianguo nodded, and the two brothers made up all four steamed corn buns in their hands with fish soup and fish meat. Then they burped and laughed comfortably.

Xue Jianguo also wanted to help wash the lunch box, Chu Xiangqian quickly waved his hand, "Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang will wash the dishes for me."

These words immediately made Xue Jianguo envious, "When I take my apprentice, let him wash the dishes, pour tea, and wipe the table for me."

"Come on," Chu Xiangqian hurriedly persuaded, "Can you be the same as me? I am in charge of the cafeteria, which is equivalent to taking care of the stomach of the big guy. It is willing to do the dishes for me.

If you force your apprentice to do this or that, how can you win his heart?
Besides, if the apprentice you accept in the future needs you to take the initiative to order him to do these small things, then you should stop paying attention to him as soon as possible. "

Xue Jianguo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed, this kind of person is either a white-eyed wolf, or has no discernment, and it is useless to teach him."

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Chu Xiangqian thought that since he was fine, he might as well go to his little Lan'er at noon to warm his hands.

Talk about things you like to do.

He followed Xue Jianguo out, got on his bicycle to bid farewell to him, and hurriedly ran to the Princess Tomb.

As soon as they arrived at the place, a basket containing 20 catties of Jingbai pears was hung on the handlebars to the gate of the compound.

Seeing that all four guards knew each other, he looked around, opened the lid of the basket, and winked at them.

Take out four and give them to the leading captain.

How could the captain dare to accept him, but after thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian couldn't ask himself and the others.

He doesn't need to be inspected when he enters and exits this compound. If he eats a few pears, his superiors won't say anything if they know about it.

But thinking so, after the captain accepted the pear, he hurriedly took Bao Zhonghua out of his pocket and threw it to Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian was not too polite. This kind of internal supply of cigarettes cannot be bought outside, and the internal price is actually not high.

It's even a quota distribution. Of course, the captain must not be high enough to smoke this kind of cigarette.

It should be given by their leaders.

I greeted each other with a smile, and walked inside on a bicycle.

When the lid was put on, four more pears filled the basket.

At noon, only the old lady and Xue Jinglan's grandparents were at home in the Xue family.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian running over to deliver pears at noon, Xue Jinglan naturally smiled.

When the old lady smiled, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly said, "Grandma, there is a change in the matter of the second brother, I guess it has something to do with the mutual calculation of the leaders of the rolling mill.

If it doesn't work out, it's just bad luck. "

Only then did the old lady feel relieved.

In her eyesight, meritorious service is naturally the best, but there is nothing wrong with being safe.

"have you eaten?"

Chu nodded forward, "Second brother couldn't hold back at noon, and ran to the street to find me. I ate with him."

Xue Jinglan muttered with some pity, "Second brother is really true, why do you keep running to the street, and make Brother Qiang want to entertain him."

When Chu Xiangqian saw his little Lan'er pouting, he couldn't help laughing, and poured tea for himself while the old lady went.

He whispered, "Don't worry, you man, I have 33 catties of rations and 30 catties of ration subsidies every month.

In addition to the game from the mountains and rivers, let alone raise you, even if you give birth to three or five babies, you will not be hungry. "

Xue Jinglan hurriedly turned her head to look at the old lady, seeing that she didn't hear her, she blushed and gave Chu a look forward.

Seeing a basket of Jingbai pears, each of them is the size of a fist, with white, smooth and waxy skin, it makes people want to eat it.

I took two and went to the kitchen to peel them, cut them into pieces and served them out.

The old lady was still worried that Chu Xiangqian thought Xue Jinglan was hypocritical, but Chu Xiangqian picked up the small wooden stick next to the plate without any pretentiousness, and stuck a piece in front of her.

The old lady immediately felt relieved.

Then Chu Xiangqian tied a piece and handed it to Xue Jinglan, the little girl smiled.

He asked while eating, "Brother Xiangqian, how do you know the function of this little wooden stick?"

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback, and thought to himself that this is indeed a problem. Ordinary people eat fruits, how can they use wooden sticks.

Even the big chiefs who came through the war years were not so affectionate.

But after thinking about it, food is scarce these days, and there are even fewer fruits.

It is normal for an apple to be divided into many pieces.

He said with a smile, "In the past, there were many wild fruits in the mountains, but apples were seldom eaten. So my brothers and sisters and I always cut them up and ate them separately.

As for the wooden stick, since it is placed on the plate, children will know how to use it! "

Xue Jinglan smiled awkwardly, knowing that she had asked a stupid question.

But as long as Chu Xiangqian doesn't feel that she is different from others, then she doesn't care about other things.

Reaching out for a wooden stick, he pricked a pear for Chu Qianqian.

The two laughed and chatted while eating, and the old lady who looked at it felt more and more that Chu Xiangqian was the perfect match for her granddaughter.

It wasn't until after 2 o'clock in the afternoon that Chu Xiangqian got up and went to work.

Xue Jinglan was naturally reluctant, so she could only look at Chu Xiangqian at the door while avoiding the sight of the old lady.

Chu looked forward, but still didn't understand.

Hehe smiled, hugged her and kissed her.

A few seconds later, Xue Jinglan stood at the door with her heart beating wildly, watched Chu Qianqian get on her bicycle, waved to herself, and closed the door in a bad mood.

Sitting on the sofa, she was teased by the old lady.

The shy little girl hurried back to her room, lying on the bed, thinking about Chu Xiangqian finding her own granary just now.

Secretly scolding Chu Xiangqian for being a hooligan, he secretly rejoices that he likes his granary so much.

After Chu Xiangqian returned to the street, seeing that there was nothing to do, he simply hid in the cafeteria, closed his eyes with a few stools, and let the tits fly to Mentougou again while dozing off.

Because the long-tailed tit had already discovered the location of the hunting team in the rolling mill yesterday, and it walked the mountain road on foot, even Chu Xiangqian couldn't walk much in a day.

The chickadees flew into the mountains, only to find them again within ten minutes.

Chu Xiangqian only took a few glances before shaking his head. Although the sun was out today, the hunting team could easily determine the direction of the southeast, northwest and north.

But walking in the mountains does not mean walking in one direction and you will be able to walk out.

Mentougou is about 62 kilometers long from east to west and 34 kilometers wide from north to south. It belongs to the remnants of the Taihang Mountains.

Moreover, there are many mountains, tall and steep, with dangerous peaks.

Walking in one direction, just climbing mountains, walking two or three hills a day, the physical strength of ordinary people will be exhausted.

If you walk into the deep mountains and old forests where even hunters don't leave, it will be even more difficult to be found.It is even impossible to meet the ground search and rescue team.

If Chu Xiangqian led the team, he would definitely find a mountain top, prepare for fire prevention, and light a few piles of fire.

Relying on the thick smoke, it is easier to be discovered by the forest rangers or mountain people.

Moreover, the forest rangers themselves are responsible for fire prevention. They will definitely rush over to check, and at the same time, they will send someone to report if they find out, so that they are ready to put out the fire.

It's a pity that the group of people in the rolling mill were only focused on heading east, never thinking about finding a suitable place for camping and waiting for rescue.

Seeing that no one was injured in the hunting team, Chu Xiangqian was carrying a large, two small and three wild boars, and he had a gun in his hand, so naturally he was not worried about their safety.

Let the chickadee fly to the east, and after searching for a while, I saw a search team composed of 5 people in Sitai Village.

And the team this time was actually the five people who shot and killed a wild boar yesterday when the tits were chasing wild boars.

After thinking about it for a while, I probably felt that these five people must be a team with skills and experience if they could hunt wild boars in the mountains and come out smoothly.

It was only when they came out of the mountain that they immediately asked for help.

On the contrary, if you want to find Chu Xiangqian, you have to drive all the way from the city.

Just by car, it is several hours.

Wait for him to prepare, prepare, even if he rushes over, it will be dark soon.

Had to wait another night.

If you think so, finding another team is the normal choice.

In this case, Chu Xiangqian simply ignored it for the time being.

It's just that she didn't expect Lan Xiao'e to wait at her door with two middle-aged people after returning home from get off work.

"Xiao Chu, brother Da Mao has been in the mountain for four days, but there has been no news. I asked the factory, but he said it's all right, and he should be back tomorrow."

Chu Xiangqian pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Who is the guide when Da Mao enters the mountain?"

When Lan Xiao'e and Xu Damao's parents heard what he said, they immediately had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

The three of them shook their heads anxiously, Chu Xiangqian frowned, pretending to be worried and said, "Oh, I'm most afraid of snow when I go to the mountains this winter.

Second, I am afraid that the familiar ground will be covered up by the snow, so that it is easier to get lost.

And the third point is the most frightening. It will be very cold in the mountains after snowfall, accompanied by strong winds, and you will be easily frozen.

Since you all said that Damao has been in the mountains for four days, it seems that it is really dangerous. After all, I dare not stay in the mountains for so long in winter. "

Xu Damao's parents turned pale after hearing this.

Uncle Xu's legs were so anxious that he almost fell to the ground if he hadn't been supported by his wife and Lou Xiaoe.

Chu Xiangqian hurried forward and helped Uncle Xu into his home.

After taking a few sips of hot water, and after a while, Old Xu finally recovered and put the matter aside, even explaining why Xu Damao went to the mountain.

This kid is also unlucky.

Sitai Village has just been infested by tigers, and the superiors and the MTG district will naturally think about how to appease them.

At the same time that a lot of money and food were distributed, Xu Damao was sent to Sitai Village to show a few movies.

Although Xu Damao is a projectionist in a rolling mill, you can tell from seeing him often go to the countryside that his job is not just to show movies for the rolling mill.

Then Xie Zhendela, the logistics director of the rolling mill who took over the hunting task, boarded the truck and went to Sitai Village.

After Uncle Xu finished speaking, he grabbed Chu Xiangqian's hand, "Comrade Chu, please save our family, Da Mao."

Aunt Xu and Lou Xiao'e also showed pleading expressions, Chu Xiangqian nodded, "Since you asked me to come here, and I get along well with Da Mao myself, naturally I won't ignore this matter.

It’s just that it’s definitely impossible to go into the mountains tonight, and tomorrow morning, it’s best to have a car to take me to the mountains as soon as possible. "

"Yes, yes, we must send a car." Uncle Xu quickly looked at Lou Xiaoe, "Xiao'e, I have to ask Lou Dong to borrow your truck."

Lou Xiaoe's family has not only a car, but also two trucks.

In the TV series, when the Lou family left overnight, one car left with their valuables, and the other car was still in the garage at home.

And if you go into the mountains, a car is really not as useful as a truck.

Lou Xiao'e nodded hurriedly. Although she had problems with Xu Damao's relationship, and even had an affair with Chu Qianqian, she had been married for two years anyway, so it was impossible for her to ignore death.

Go to find your father when you go out.

After Lou Xiao'e left, Uncle Xu took out a red cloth bag from his pocket, revealing 4 gold bars inside.

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback, he didn't expect Xu Damao's parents to be so willing.

But if you think about it carefully, if you were yourself, you would definitely do everything you can to save your only son.

"Comrade Chu, I know that talking about money hurts feelings, but I beg you to accept it, otherwise your aunt and I will be upset and feel uneasy at the same time.

You just let us two old men and old ladies buy peace of mind.And afterwards there are 6 gold bars offered. "

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought, Xu Damao's father's level is much higher.

These words alone are much wiser than Xu Damao.

A gold bar of one tael was about 220 to 240 yuan last month, but now the actual purchasing power must have dropped a lot.

But ten gold bars are at least more than 2, which is not unreasonable.

Although Chu Xiangqian wanted to save Xu Damao and a dozen people in the rolling mill, but it is best to save people and get rewards at the same time.

It's just that I'm not sure if Uncle Xu will get up after receiving this gold bar, so he took the opportunity to hold his own thoughts.

"Comrade Chu, don't worry, if news about the gold bars gets out, my husband and I will be in big trouble.

You know this, my husband and I know it, and there will be no fourth person to know it.

Even Da Mao, we don't plan to tell him, lest this kid think about our pension money all day long. "

Xu Damao begged for two gold bars from his parents last time. Not only did Chu Xiangqian know about this, the gold bars even went into his pocket.

And as long as there is no official business involved, and you get paid for saving someone's life, the higher-ups will say that the person's thinking is not progressive enough, but they can't say that he broke the law.

So Chu Xiangqian nodded and reached out to put away the gold bars.
