Chapter 160 Buying New Year's Goods
When the whole family was having dinner in the evening, Yao Weijun mentioned that he wanted to go to the capital.

Because tomorrow is Sunday, he plans to buy the items for the New Year together with Yu Xiunan in advance.

"It's so cold. If you go, you should wear more clothes. Remember to take good care of Xiunan and don't let her freeze, otherwise I will take advantage of you!"

Mother Zhu Mei warned seriously.

Grandma also echoed, saying: "Taking good care of Xiu Nan is one thing, and the other thing is not to spend money randomly. We have everything at home, so there is no need to buy too many things."

"Grandma, Mom, I know what I know, that is, the car can't accommodate a few people, and the weather is also cold, otherwise I would take the whole family to go shopping together.

But when we buy our own car next year, I will definitely take the whole family and go to Beijing for a few days! "

Yao Weijun laughed loudly.

"Let's talk about next year. When you two go to the capital, you must be careful on the way. Also remember to buy some New Year supplies for your father-in-law and come back early!"

Father Yao Xiangui put down his wine cup and reminded him in a deep voice.

Yao Weijun nodded in agreement and continued eating.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the car arranged by You Damin arrived as scheduled. The driver's surname was Li, who was in his 20s. He had long been familiar with Yao Weijun. As soon as he got off the car, he said with a smile:

"Brother Yao, Brother Damin said, let me listen to your arrangements today, you have your say!"

"No rush, come on, have a cigarette, I'll have people load the goods into the car now."

Yao Weijun smiled and handed over a cigarette, then ordered Ma Zhanguo and others to start loading the car.

After these days of rush production, Lao Dai and Lao Xu's canned roasted seeds and nuts are ready. According to Yao Weijun's plan, the workers will be able to process all of You Damin's next order after working hard for two days. .

In other words, until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, when You Damin has transported all the goods, the workers can have a holiday.

Today is the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and public institutions will not have a holiday for another seven or eight days. Yao Weijun plans to go to the No. [-] Garment Factory in the county tomorrow to find Director Hao to settle the payment for clothing processing. He is basically busy with business matters for the year before. about there.

About half an hour later, Ma Zhanguo and his men finished loading the car. Yao Weijun asked Yu Xiunan to pack it up at home, while he got in the car and went to the joint venture area with Xiao Li to deliver goods.

"Brother Yao, your and Brother You's driver's licenses should be issued soon, right?"

On the way, Xiao Li chatted casually.

"Well, if everything goes well, next spring should be about the same."

Yao Weijun replied, and then asked with a smile: "Xiao Li, it's almost the Chinese New Year. Your unit should not have much work. Hasn't the holiday notice been issued yet?"

Xiao Li is from the county transportation team, an employee of the Materials Bureau, and is directly managed by You Damin's daughter-in-law. Because of this relationship, every time You Damin comes to Jiachang Village to pull goods, he will ask him to help drive.

"Hey, it's true that there isn't much work left. I go there every day and I'm idle. But I just play at the office, and I won't have a holiday until before the new year. It's like this every year. I'm used to it."

Xiao Li explained with a wry smile.

"It's better for your company. You can make money just by having fun. It's not like us who do business. We get up early every day and stay late every day. We don't even have time to rest during the New Year."

Yao Weijun said.

"But we don't earn much!" Xiao Li said, turning his head and looking at Yao Weijun, with a look of envy and adoration on his face, "Brother Yao, if anything good happens in the future, please give me a favor. Don't worry, I promise to do whatever you want me to do." Just do it and don’t cause any trouble!"

"It's easy to say, they are all acquaintances. I will look for you when I have a chance in the future."

After Yao Weijun finished speaking, he chatted with him about other topics.

About 10 minutes later, Xiao Li drove to the Xiheba Joint Venture Area.

At this time, Lao Dai and three others were already waiting at the roadside. Beside them, there were several bullock carts parked for transporting goods.

"Brother Yao! Thank you for making a special trip. Please smoke!"

When Yao Weijun got out of the car, Lao Dai immediately came over and handed over the cigarette, saying with an excited smile.

Yao Weijun took the cigarettes and urged Lao Dai to take people to unload the goods and then load them into the truck.

The whole process took about half an hour, and then all the handovers were completed. After Lao Dai paid the money, he wrapped himself tightly in his cotton-padded jacket and left quickly.

"Go, go to the next place."

Yao Weijun got in the car and ordered Xiao Li to rush to another joint camp area.

It took more than 40 minutes to deliver the remaining goods in the car to Lao Xu. After the settlement was completed, he returned to Jiachang Village.

After picking up Yu Xiunan, the car drove onto the county road and drove all the way to the capital.

Yao Weijun did not go to see Sun Baobing or Zhang Xinmin when he came to the capital this time. When he arrived at the place, he asked Xiao Li to drive to the People's Market first and parked on the side of the road to wait.

He and Yu Xiunan went to the alley where they had met the fourth child, Yao Weitao, and bargained with the ticket dealers, exchanging enough various notes.

"Let's go, finish lunch first, and then go shopping in the People's Market!" Yao Weijun packed up the receipts, walked out of the alley with Yu Xiunan, called Xiao Li in the car, and the three of them found a restaurant to eat.

After having enough wine and food, Yao Weijun declined Xiao Li's offer to follow him to carry the bag and carry things, and asked the latter to wait in the car. At the same time, he took out two packs of cigarettes from his work bag and threw them into the car.

Afterwards, he took Yu Xiunan to the People's Market and started shopping.

These days, the people's market sells a full range of things. Yao Weijun has enough money to buy all the items that Yu Xiunan likes. After shopping for more than an hour, the two of them have already filled their hands with various items.

"Weijun, we have bought so much food, clothing, and supplies for our whole family. I think it's almost done. How about we go back?"

Yu Xiunan's face was filled with the excitement of harvest, and she suggested in a crisp voice.

"Well, put your items back in the car first, and then go to other places."

Yao Weijun asked for a few large bags from the counter, put all the things he bought into them, and said with a smile.

"Ah, you have bought so many things. How much money did you bring?" Yu Xiunan asked curiously.

"Don't worry, it's enough for you to spend. There are many places to sell things in the capital. As long as you see something you like, we'll buy it!"

Yao Weijun said calmly.

Now I have a million in cash saved at home. In these days, I can really buy whatever I want without having to worry about money at all.

"It looks like burning buns!" Yu Xiunan scolded, then smiled playfully, "But I like it!"

"Then let's go!" Yao Weijun carried a few bags and the two walked out of the People's Market together.

He put his pockets in the car, told Xiao Li to drive, and then went shopping in other places in the capital... It wasn't until it got dark that he started on his return journey.

By the time we returned to Jianchang Village, it was already past six in the evening.

"Dad, Mom, we are back. Is the food at home ready? Let Xiao Li stay for dinner tonight."

The car drove slowly to the entrance of the yard. Yao Weijun helped Yu Xiunan get out of the car and said to his parents who came out.

"Your sister-in-law is cooking. I guess it's time for you to come back. Come on, let the driver sit down in the room and warm up for a while!"

After his father Yao Xiangui finished speaking, he opened the car door enthusiastically and invited Xiao Li into the house.

"Uncle, you're welcome, I can do it myself."

Xiao Li quickly jumped out of the car, turned to Yao Weijun and explained: "Brother Yao, I really can't stay for dinner. It's getting late now. I have to drive the car back to the unit as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to deliver work tomorrow. "

"Well... OK, then I won't be polite to you. Let's get together again when we have the opportunity."

Yao Weijun pondered slightly, and felt that what Xiao Li said was reasonable, so he did not force it, "Remember to drive slower on the way back later!"

After he gave the instructions, he unloaded the goods with his family and carried all the things he bought into the yard.

Just as he was about to send Xiao Li away, he heard chaotic sounds coming from the village. Several beams of flashlight light entered the night sky. Among them, there were two flashlight light beams in the direction, showing that two people were running towards his home. Come.

"Huh?" Yao Weijun frowned. He didn't know what happened in the village. He pondered for a moment and said to his parents and Yu Xiunan: "It's cold outside. You go back to the house first. It's nothing serious."

Yao Xiangui waved to his wife, "Listen to Lao Wu, you take Xiunan back to the house." Obviously, he was also curious about what happened.

Xiao Li next to him originally wanted to get in the car, but it was difficult to leave directly under this situation. He also looked at the two figures who were approaching quickly.

"Weijun! You are here by chance. Hou Liang's father is dying. Can you use your motorcycle to help take him to the hospital for emergency treatment?"

At this time, the approaching figure shone a flashlight on several people at the door, and shouted loudly.

Yao Weijun recognized the people who came, it was Chen Shoushan and Shunzi.

When he heard that Hou Liang's father was dying, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He walked out a few steps and said in a deep voice: "Okay, we can't waste time. I'm going to ride my motorcycle now. Uncle Shoushan, please help me go to Hou Liang's house to clean up first." Get off, I’ll be right over!”

"Okay! I'll go right now!" Chen Shoushan responded quickly when he heard this, and before he could take a breath, he turned around and ran towards the village.

"Shunzi, does Monkey know this? Has he come back?!"

Yao Weijun pulled Shunzi and asked with a frown.

"Hey, that kid hasn't shown up in the village for a long time, how can he come back!"

Shunzi replied angrily, and then said: "Such a guard, you go back to the hospital and ride your motorcycle first, and then I'll go check on Hou Liang's father. I'll take him to the hospital with you later." Bar!"

"Okay, go and help prepare. I'll be there soon!"

Yao Weijun nodded, and after Shunzi turned around and ran to the village, he also planned to go home and ride his motorcycle.

But then he saw the car that had not driven away and Xiao Li standing there. His heart suddenly moved and he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Li, can I trouble you?"

"Brother Yao, I heard everything just now. It involves you, Brother Yao, so that's no problem. I have to go back to the county office anyway. Hurry up. Let's drive to pick up the patient now and send him to him as soon as possible. Go to the county hospital!”

Xiao Li expressed his position very simply.

"Thank you, brother!" Yao Weijun responded happily, then turned around to explain a few words to his father, and then sat in the carriage again without returning home.

Not to mention that I had a good relationship with Hou Liang in the past. Just because of the friendship between Zhuangxiang and Zhuangxiang, I couldn't just sit back and watch. Moreover, Uncle Shoushan came to the door in person. In such a critical moment where people's lives are at stake, I must help if I can.

The car restarted and drove straight into the village, stopping at the entrance of the alley of Hou Liang's house.

At this time, there was another noise in the yard of Hou Liang's house. Many neighbors were alerted and came over with flashlights to care about the physical condition of Hou Liang's father.

As soon as Yao Weijun walked into the alley, he saw Shunzi and two young men carrying the door panel. Hou Liang's father was lying on it, covered by several quilts. Next to him, Hou Liang's mother was crying and calling her man's name, with a look on her face. Both panic and sadness.

"Quickly, get it in the car, find a few more quilts, and send him to the hospital right away!"

Yao Weijun urged several people to hurry up, and then asked Shunzi: "How is Uncle Shui Gui's condition? Wasn't he coughing all the time before? Why did his condition suddenly worsen?"

"Hey, this time it has nothing to do with the cough. According to my judgment, it is most likely a cerebral hemorrhage. If the delay is too long, my life will probably be lost!"

Shunzi frowned and explained quickly.

Yao Weijun looked solemn when he heard this. He didn't say anything more, but helped lift Hou Liang's father Hou Shuigui to the car.

Because Hou Shuigui was currently in a coma, he still couldn't get into the passenger seat despite a lot of effort. Yao Weijun didn't want to waste any more time and immediately signaled everyone to carry the patient directly into the car with the door panel attached.

"Have you brought the quilt? Cover Uncle Shui Gui with a few more layers and start the car immediately to go to the county hospital!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Thank you, Guardsman. I really want to thank you this time!"

Hou Liang's mother cried and thanked her. After this scene, she felt that her legs were weak and it was difficult to even walk.

"Okay, Auntie, now is not the time to talk. If you are like this, sit in the front passenger seat. Shunzi and I will take care of you from behind. We will arrive at the hospital soon!"

Yao Weijun waved his hand to urge, not wanting to waste any more time.

"No, I'll take care of Shui Gui. Just sit in the front and don't worry about me!"

Hou Liang's mother quickly shook her head to stop him.

"Oh, it's already that time. Auntie, please stop being polite and hurry up and get in the car!" Yao Weijun helped her get into the passenger seat, immediately motioned for Xiao Li to drive, and then he and Shunzi climbed into the car.

"Guardian, give me a hand, and I'll help you too!" Chen Shoushan stood outside the carriage and raised his hand and shouted.

Yao Weijun pondered slightly, leaned over and pulled Chen Shoushan into the carriage.

"Okay, let's all disperse. Fortunately, there is a car here from the Guards. Let's take Shui Gui to the hospital first. It's cold outside, so everyone should go home quickly!"

Chen Shoushan waved his hands to the villagers at the entrance of the alley and shouted loudly.

The car started slowly, then accelerated sharply, heading towards the outside of Alkali Village.

The north wind was howling, and the cold wind at night was as sharp as a knife, causing burning pain on my face.

Yao Weijun, Shunzi and Chen Shoushan were sitting in the carriage, tightly wrapped in cotton coats, and they were all silent.

It's not that they don't want to speak, but the temperature is too low and the car is driving fast, making communication difficult.
