Chapter 130
When Susie returned to the collective household, Tian Xiaohui was in the house. She was very happy to see Susie, "You're back? I thought you would go for a long time like last time."

Susie smiled, "I have something to do when I come back, and I have to go out tomorrow."

Tian Xiaohui approached her, "You were not at home yesterday, you don't know how busy our place is."

"Hot?" Susie asked, "What's the fun?"

Tian Xiaohui pointed to the next door, "The aunt in the seventh row is here, kneeling in our yard, begging Qin Man to let her son go."

"A lot of people watched the fun, and our collective household was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside."

Susie frowned, "Then what happened in the end?"

"Qin Man was locked in the house anyway and never came out."

"Tingting couldn't take it anymore, she took a broom to drive that aunt away."

"The aunt didn't leave anyway, so she knelt on the ground and cried. Tingting beat her with a broom, but she didn't leave. In the end, the women's director Zhang Lanying called a few people to get the aunt away."

Tian Xiaohui whispered: "I heard many people say that that man may be sentenced to death."

Susie thought about it, the death penalty is really possible in this day and age.

This is purely the man's own court of death.

Qin Man originally didn't want to report the crime, but their family was still entangled. While destroying Qin Man's reputation, they wanted to marry Qin Man back home.

Su Qian asked, "How is Qin Man?"

Tian Xiaohui shook her head, "I don't know."

"Yu Xue cooked a meal for her and brought it in. Anyway, she hasn't come out these days."

After running around for so long, Susie was also tired. She went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash, and then climbed into bed to rest.

Tian Xiaohui didn't dare to quarrel with her, and played cards bored by herself.

Susie woke up at almost four o'clock, got up to knit a sweater, and then went to the stove to cook.

When Zhao Tingting came back from work, she was very happy to see Su Xi, cooking quickly.

The food was all cooked, and Qiao Mu, Yuan Gang and the others came back.

When it was almost dark, they came in to fetch water and wash their hands.

Zhao Tingting saw that everyone was covered in ashes, "What did you do to make it like this?"

Yuan Gang looked at Niu Jianguo who was washing dishes not far away, and whispered, "We found a place on the mountain to burn charcoal."

"Qiao Mu said that winter is coming, the house is cold, the firewood is smoky, and the charcoal is warm and smokeless."

Susie glanced at Qiao Mu in surprise. Burning charcoal should be a technical job, and she didn't know how Qiao Mu did it.

Seeing Qiao Mu looking at her, she gave him a thumbs up, "That's great, then we won't be afraid of the cold during the winter."

Susie felt that the corners of Qiao Mu's mouth seemed to lift up.

Although it can hardly be called a smile, ever since Qiao Mu went down to the lake in the middle of the night that day, he has been taciturn and frowning, as if he had infinite thoughts.

I finally looked happier today.

Tables and chairs were opened, and everyone gathered around to eat. Seeing Niu Jianguo washed the dishes and left, Susie whispered, "I think if you can really burn charcoal, you can sell it in the county."

People in the countryside burn firewood, but they cannot burn firewood in the city. Charcoal is generally used for heating in winter.

Zhu Zhicheng's eyes lit up.

Yuan Gang also became excited when he heard this. He is also quite short of money. It would be great if the charcoal he burned could sell for some money.

Qiao Mu didn't make a sound, he didn't care if he had money or not, he burned charcoal because he didn't want Susie to suffer from the cold in winter.

Zhu Zhicheng hesitated, "I just don't know if this thing can be sold."

Although he wanted to make money, he didn't want to be sent to reform through labor because of speculation.

Susie thought for a while, "How about this, isn't my aunt in the county? They definitely need charcoal for heating in winter. I'll go there sometime and see if there are any acquaintances in their family who want charcoal. Send it directly to them, it will be safe and save you from selling it on the black market."

Zhu Zhicheng nodded, "This method is good."

Susie smiled, "Then you burn more, I guess there will be many people asking for it."

Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng calculated that it was starting to get cold and there was not much work to do in the fields. It was a good thing that burning charcoal would not delay their earning work points and they could still earn money.

Susie couldn't help but praised Qiao Mu again, "Qiao Mu is really amazing, he can do everything."

Qiao Mu looked at Su Xi, pursed her lips and her eyes lit up.

After dinner, Susie told Zhu Zhicheng that Liu Zi would sleep with him for the night, Zhu Zhicheng nodded and agreed without saying a word.

Just as they were talking, Liu Zi came over, Liu Zi was acquainted, Susie didn't need to worry about him, he soon got along with Zhu Zhicheng and Yuan Gang, but Qiao Mu was a bit cold and didn't care about others.

Su Qian was planning to go to bed early when Xu Changgui hurried over.

He pulled Susie into the yard, "I was planning to go to Liujiagang with you, but someone from the commune informed me in the afternoon that I will go to the commune for a meeting tomorrow morning."

"How about I ask Accountant Zhang to accompany you there."

Susie shook her head, "No, I'll go alone."

Accountant Zhang followed, and she and Uncle Liao couldn't hide their secrets.

Xu Changgui felt uneasy after thinking about it, "It's too unsafe for you, a girl, to carry so much money and squeeze the train."

Susie smiled, "Second Grandpa, there's nothing unsafe."

"Accountant Zhang is a man. It's inconvenient for me to go on a business trip with him."

Xu Changgui thought about it too, "You can really do it by yourself?"

Susie nodded, "It can be done."

Xu Changgui hesitated for a while, thinking about Su Qian's cleverness, she should be fine.

He took out a thick envelope from his pocket, "400 yuan, more money for formalities, and your travel expenses, you must drive the tractor back to me."

Su Qian opened the envelope, and counted some money in front of Xu Changgui, 400 yuan, not more than one cent, not less.

There is also a letter of introduction stamped with the official seal of the croissant production team.

Su Xi nodded, "Second Grandpa, don't worry, I will live up to your trust and drive the tractor back to you."

Xu Changgui smiled, "Be careful on the road."

Early the next morning, before dawn, Susie got up.

He didn't make breakfast either, and went to Liao's house with his six sons. Aunt Lan baked pancakes for them.

The two hurried on their way in the dark, and it was less than eight o'clock when they arrived at the county seat.

Then I went to the train station to wait for the train, running all the way, and finally arrived at Liujiagang at eleven o'clock at noon.

Uncle Liao and the six sons first accompanied Susie to see the tractor.

The tractor was parked in an empty room next to the warehouse of the Liujiagang Brigade.

Su Qian first showed Captain Liu the letter of introduction, and then asked Uncle Liu to explain to her how to drive the tractor. She had to test drive the car before buying it.

Uncle Liu first took the crank handle and inserted it into a hole in the front of the tractor, and then asked Su Qian to shake it.

Susie's whole body was pressed up, and she almost used up all her energy for breastfeeding. After shaking it hard several times, the diesel engine started to "chug and chug".

Susie pulled out the crank handle and gasped for breath. The job of shaking the tractor was really beyond her small body.
