The two were chatting when a "dang" sound suddenly sounded in the distance. It was the sound of a gong, followed by vague noises, shouts, and intermittent curses. The chaos gradually came from a distance. close.

It was like a play finally taking place on stage.

Yang Guohua stood up quickly and murmured, "The team is here..."

Song Hongguo's face turned stern, and she subconsciously straightened her back.

Sure enough, soon, a wave of people came over, pushing each other, and there were crowds of onlookers on both sides. In the middle, everyone had their heads lowered, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. They just felt heavy and breathless. , there are still people shouting about their crimes, with fierce words and indignant emotions. This is a public execution, and it is also a kind of shock and warning to others.

Some people threw stones at the team and cursed.

Fortunately, someone stopped him in time.

After that, no more drastic actions occurred.

Seeing this, Song Hongguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After the team left, she held the cup and had the leisure to enjoy tea. The situation was much better than she imagined.

Yang Guohua looked stunned and murmured, "This time... why are you so gentle?"

Song Hongguo asked calmly, "Isn't it bad to be gentle?"

When Yang Guohua was asked, he was speechless for a moment, then laughed dryly and said, "Selfishly, of course it's good. My friend can suffer less. However, it's too gentle. I'm afraid I can't scare the monkeys."

Song Hongguo nodded in agreement, "Well, that makes sense, so there should be other punishment measures in the future, right?"

Yang Guohua shook his head, "I don't know. I heard that my original job can't be saved, and my lifelong future is at an end. I guess I will be assigned to the most difficult place, such as working in the mines, and I can only get half the salary. "

Song Hongguo said calmly, "People should always pay for their mistakes."

Yang Guohua smiled bitterly and said, "That's the truth. Well, I'm leaving after get off work."

After he went out, Song Hongguo also changed her clothes and went to the third cafeteria to eat.

Along the way, there were obviously fewer people.

The cafeteria is more deserted and there is no need to queue up for meals.

At noon this afternoon, she and Han Ying were the only ones eating. Huo Minglou was still very busy with work recently. Although he did not need to retreat, his schedule during the day was very tight, and he could not even find time to come to the cafeteria to eat.

Song Hongbing didn't come either. It wasn't because he was busy, but because he was afraid of being entangled by Qiu Xiuyu, so he was hiding.

Han Ying ate the mushy stewed eggplant and complained, "I don't like eating eggplant the most. No matter how you cook it, it always smells weird, and the fat meat here is in vain."

Song Hongguo echoed, "I don't like eggplants either, but I like the flavored eggplants, catfish stewed dried eggplants, and the baked eggplant boxes. I'll make them for you to try someday."

"Okay, when will you be free?" Han Ying is still looking forward to her cooking skills. "I have one day off this month. Let's take it at the same time. I can also go to your house to play and have an extra meal. meal."

Song Hongguo thought for a while, "How about tomorrow?"

Han Ying agreed without hesitation. After eating a few chopsticks, he lost his appetite. He glanced around and sneered, "In order to watch the fun, these people didn't even eat. I really don't understand. What's the matter?" Is it worth watching? Although those people are not good people, betraying their families and harming others and themselves, but..."

She paused, her expression tangled, as if she didn't know what to say.

Song Hongguo smiled, "I understand."

Hearing this, Han Ying breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Are you following to watch?"

Song Hongguo shook her head, "Not interested." Han Ying said with a clear face, "I knew it, and I didn't go either. Last night, my dad reminded me not to join in the fun. He really looked down on me. Well, is he the only one who understands? I’m not stupid either.”

When the topic reached this point, Song Hongguo asked, "How is your father doing lately?"

Han Ying twitched the corner of his mouth and said with unclear meaning, "It's good. I thought he would be sad for a while, but...it turns out that men are all ruthless."

As long as you have a career, it is enough. Women are always the icing on the cake, not a necessity.

"Then Yang Rongyue didn't come to see him again, right?"

"No, I don't know what that woman was planning. When she just left, I thought she would continue to pester my father by looking after the children. Who would have thought that she didn't even show up once? Didn't even the children show up? No more?"

Song Hongguo couldn't help but frown.

Han Ying asked, "You also feel something is wrong, right?"

Song Hongguo nodded, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It's best to find someone to keep an eye on her. If someone like her really wants to cause trouble, it won't be a trivial matter."

Han Ying said "Yeah", "I'll tell my uncle later."

"Where's Meng Jiao? Has she been to your house since then?"

"Her?" Han Ying sneered, "It's funny, she has never been to my house, but she often goes in and out of that area. I don't know what she thinks. Could she be hoping for a chance encounter?"

"She has lived in your house for so many years. She must know a lot of people in the neighborhood, right?"

"Not only that, but she also has a good relationship with those people. She has been able to look at people's faces since she was a child, pretending to be well-behaved and pleasing to others..." After saying this, Han Ying became irritated again, "She probably doesn't want to give up, or wants to try again. Who is she marrying? If she really finds someone she can rely on and marries into one of those families, it would be heart-breaking to see her look up and disappear every day."

"Don't tell me, maybe she really has that ability."

Meng Jiao is a typical pretty girl, she looks pitiful towards men, and her eyes are not good, so it is easy for her to trick him.

These days, there is no shortage of love brains.

After the two of them finished eating, the number of people in the cafeteria began to increase, and they were discussing the team just now in small groups. Some were disdainful and scolded, some were sighing, and some were secretly excited. All kinds of life were reflected in them.

After separating from Han Ying, Song Hongguo changed into a costume that no one could recognize, went to the black market again, and asked someone to bring a message to Brother Zeng, hoping to make a deal.

Pork and eggs are exchanged for this year's new wheat harvest, and the trading place is still the same.

She quoted the quantity and price of the transaction, and the other party nodded in agreement without thinking. After the negotiation, she walked around the black market and came across someone secretly exchanging a pair of gem-encrusted bracelets for food. , she couldn't help but feel lucky that she had brought a backpack with her when she came, so she could get food out of it without arousing suspicion.

A pair of bracelets was exchanged for ten pounds of wheat.

The other party was very happy, Song Hongguo was also very satisfied, and everyone was happy.

When she was about to leave, the middle-aged woman with a scarf covering most of her face asked one more question, "If I come with those things again, do you have any food in exchange for it?"

Song Hongguo nodded, and the two of them exchanged a time to meet again, and then dispersed.

When the system saw the bracelet, he said as if he had gotten a big deal, "You are rich. These rubies, sapphires, turquoises, and tourmalines are inlaid with them. Oh, these should be from the Ming Dynasty. Look at the craftsmanship, how many So exquisite…”

That bracelet is indeed exquisitely made, elegant and dazzling. What is amazing is that each colored gemstone of different shapes has a golden groove that perfectly matches its shape, making the gemstones fit snugly. Then, a few small gold claws stretched out above the gem to firmly fix the gem on the surface of the gold bracelet. In modern times, with the help of various advanced tools, it is nothing, but As an antique, it is ingenious.

The more Song Hongguo watched it, the more she liked it. She felt that she had missed it this time, and she was looking forward to the next meeting.
