Chapter 15: Anti-corruption
Wang Xiaohu didn't walk fast so that the old man could keep up with him.
After walking for about ten minutes, if the old man stopped following, Wang Xiaohu would really take the box of ginseng. If he caught up with him, they would find a corner and trade secretly.
Of course, if the other party asks for a big gift, Wang Xiaohu will only give one, because he only has ten kilograms of corn flour and one kilogram of white flour on his back, and he doesn't want to take out the extra ones. He is such a coward.
"Old man, you are so awesome. You have followed me for so long. Do you want to take this back?" Wang Xiaohu came to the corner, put down the food in his hand, and said arrogantly.
“I…” The old man was about to say he wanted to go back, but when he saw the food on the ground, he couldn’t take his eyes away. Food!!
"You want food? I can exchange it with you, but the price of your ginseng is hard to estimate, and food is in short supply." Wang Xiaohu would not show mercy just because the other party is an old man. He would definitely strive for the greatest benefit.
"Then how do you want to trade? If these ginsengs of mine were kept in the past, they could be exchanged for more than several hundred kilograms of grain." The old man was obviously feeling a little pained, but his granddaughter at home was still waiting for food, so he was a little undecided.
"I definitely can't take out several hundred kilograms. Even if I take it out, you can't move it away. And if you leave so much food at home, someone will come to your door the next day, believe it or not." Wang Xiaohu roughly estimated that nine ginseng roots could still be sold for seventy or eighty kilograms, and pure corn flour would indeed be more than seven or eight hundred kilograms.
In fact, only the two larger ginsengs are valuable, the others are very cheap.
"You have a point. I'm just a street sweeper... ahem... an old man like me really can't keep it."
The old man sweeping the floor... There is only one old man sweeping the floor around here, Lao Jin!
I felt more relieved when I knew him. Wang Xiaohu knew that he had a 3-year-old granddaughter at home, and that his son and daughter-in-law both died three years ago. It was said that he also had a daughter serving in the army. Wang Xiaohu wanted to help her, as he had a natural liking for military families.
"Well, I will leave these ten kilograms of corn flour and one kilogram of white flour to you. From now on, I will deliver food to you once a month, and the amount will be this amount each time until the food supply returns to normal. Of course, these ginseng will also belong to me. What do you think?" Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said.
In this way, there is no need to go to the Pigeon Market frequently. You only need to give food to one person, and not much at all, so the safety factor is very high.
The most important thing is that it’s okay even if we are discovered. I, Wang Xiaohu, am a good young man who likes to help the young and the old. You are not stopping me from delivering food, and there is no transaction.
"This..." Lao Jin looked Wang Xiaohu up and down, hesitated for a moment, and could only nod. He didn't believe that anyone would be so kind, but if he didn't agree now, he was afraid that the other party would not return the ginseng to him.
Forget it, I have ten pounds of corn flour and one pound of white flour, which can last me at least two months. Let’s just stay alive first.
"I agree. As for the address..."
"I know the address. You are the sweeper, Lao Jin. Haha." Seeing that the other party was a little scared, Wang Xiaohu continued, "Don't worry, as long as you don't betray me, I won't tell you."
After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he sprinted over the wall and left, and put the ginseng into the planting space.
I used my mind to organize 20 square meters of land and tried to plant as much as possible. I didn't expect that once the ginseng was planted in the soil, it began to become visibly tender, and finally regained its vitality!
Although it didn't grow bigger, it survived. The rest is up to time.
"I'm rich!" Three words popped up in Wang Xiaohu's mind. After the reform and opening up, he will not be short of money and can lie down forever. The planting space is indeed important for planting, not the so-called space.
Planting is the greatest value!
Wang Xiaohu's mouth was watering when he thought about getting some other rare plants in the future.
When I got home, I took out ten pounds of corn flour and one pound of white flour and placed them in the living room. Just as I was about to go into the room to prepare for bed, the lights suddenly came on.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Wang Xiaohu almost jumped up when he saw the family sitting neatly in the corner.
"We won't be able to sleep if you don't come back." Zhang Hailian came over and weighed the food. "You are really good. You can get food. You are much better than your father. But Xiaohu, you don't have to worry about the food in the future. You won't starve at home."
"I'll just get a little this month. I can't let everyone go without food just because I come back." Wang Xiaohu promised that he would not go to get food again, and everyone let him go.
"Uncle, I want to go to Pigeon City next time too." Wang Jiujin ran out and asked expectantly. She had never been there in her life.
"I want to go too." Wang Sankuai was also curious.
Papapa~~ Zhang Lanxi slapped the two children on the head, then pulled them into the bedroom: "Why are you sleeping so late, kids?"
...
Three days later in the morning...
[Automatically sign in successfully, strength +5, trigger special lucky reward: flying knife skill]
Wang Xiaohu felt as if his mind was overflowing with light, and he casually took out a branch as thick and long as a finger from the space.
In an instant, speed, strength, and energy all hit his hands.
Shua~~~! A flash of cold light passed by.
The branch disappeared from his hand and appeared on the wall, half its length.
"Hiss... It's so powerful!" He felt dizzy for a while and recovered. "It seems that I can't use it continuously. This is a special move, but I don't have a flying knife in my hand."
"Remember that my third uncle is a blacksmith. Go and make a few flying knives." Wang Xiaohu shook hands. His strength increased again. His mental strength also increased slightly, but not much. This flying knife skill consumes a little energy.
Speaking of this Third Uncle Wang Wu, he is one of the three great legends of Nanluoguxiang.
Blacksmith Wang Wu, carpenter Zhang Benchu, and tailor Li Si, each one was more ruthless than the other. When they were living in Peking, the three of them voluntarily stayed behind to protect the Forbidden City. They assassinated countless Japanese devils before they frightened them off.
He also made a lot of efforts in the peaceful liberation of Peking. Later, his third uncle Wang Wu retired and gave his job opportunity to Wang Dalu. He then applied to open a blacksmith shop and lived a leisurely life alone.
When we arrived at the steel rolling mill and just entered the office, Section Chief Zhu called everyone together for a meeting.
"Everyone, I am really disappointed that the bad boy Ma Tian has committed a crime. He has let down my training and the factory's training. He even colluded with outsiders to resell the factory's grain. Everyone should take this as a warning..." Section Chief Zhu briefly recounted what had happened recently on the stage.
Simply put, Captain Ma Tian will not come back, and a large number of cadres including the canteen director, finance chief, warehouse director, etc. have been dismissed.
Wang Xiaohu also had a case report in his hand. After all, he was in the Security Department, so the police generously gave a report on this matter. They probably felt that the cooperative relationship should not be affected by Ma Tian’s problem.
……
The Pang family has many relatives in the countryside, because Captain Ma Tian's people in Bajia Village also sell here. After learning about the situation, they deliberately kept talking about how good Pang Yan's job is and how beautiful she is, and that you can't marry such a good woman even with 200 yuan in betrothal gifts.
These country relatives were excited when they heard this. There was an agreement before that as long as Pang Yan got a job and got married, Pang Kuansheng and his wife's job would be left to them.
But looking at the current situation, no one knows how long it will take for Pang Yan to get married, and everyone is excited and anxious.
Thinking that the good things should be kept in the family, there happened to be a widower in the village who was five degrees older than his father.
So they tricked Pang Kuansheng and his wife into returning to the village, and tricked them into accepting the 100 yuan handed over by the widower, saying that it was the help fee given by the village to Pang Yan.
Then he gave the Pang family the address in the city, hoping to make the matter a fait accompli, or to publicize that he was Pang Yan's fiancé. Once his reputation was ruined, he would have to get married even if he didn't want to.
……
Pang Yan is a technical secondary school student who has just graduated and started working. She is a straight-forward girl who cannot tolerate any injustice. Because she does not want to go along with the corrupt officials, everyone is afraid that she will report them, so the people at the grain station designed to put her in jail first.
The widower came up empty-handed and was furious, and as it was dark, the old couple thought there was a thief.
He accidentally strangled the old couple to death, and out of fear he put the animals in a sack and threw them into the lake. A hornet's nest was also found in the old widower's house, and he thought he could make a profit by selling it as medicinal herbs in the future.
The sky net is sparse and not leaking.
Because Pang Yan was an accountant, she secretly recorded in another account book. After Zhang Sanfeng got it, he followed the clues and caught all the culprits in one fell swoop.
After reading it, Wang Xiaohu couldn’t calm down for a long time. The rich have wine and meat while the poor freeze to death on the streets. Even after eating their fill, they still want to get rich.
……
By noon, the news spread throughout the factory and the case was solved.
Everyone cheered.
At this time, on the second floor, Deputy Director Li and Director Yang were watching the carnival below and nodded with satisfaction.
"This anti-corruption operation went very smoothly. The higher-ups are very satisfied. We can say it's a blessing in disguise." Director Yang said with a smile. To be honest, he was afraid that the grain speculation would affect his future a few days ago. Unexpectedly, there were unexpected turns of events. He cooperated with the investigation and cleared out a group of parasites, which actually made him a great contribution.
It’s a pity that the biggest termite in front of us has not been knocked down.
"We can discuss and arrange personnel for other positions, but I'm afraid we can't interfere with the position of the security department captain." Deputy Director Li glanced and said lightly.
"We don't need to worry about that. Just get someone to bring in the food. The steel mill can't be in trouble."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Li Huaide watched Director Yang walk away, his smile gradually fading, "One day I will kick you out, too."
