The next day, Song Hongguo got up before dawn and made two baskets of hot noodles and steamed dumplings, red date steamed cakes, and ground soy milk. After she and her children had eaten, she packed the rest in lunch boxes and brought some snacks, stuffing them all. I put into a canvas backpack, changed into clean clothes, and went out around six o'clock.

In the morning, the temperature was slightly lower. Song Hongguo put on a light gray sweater with a cardigan outside her shirt, black pants and white sneakers underneath. The two children were wearing the same clothes as her. When they walked out, they knew they were mother and son.

It was exactly half past six when we arrived at the factory.

She, Huo Minglou and Han Ying made an appointment to meet at the transportation team. When they arrived, Huo Minglou had already arrived and was talking to Song Hongbing and a driver from the transportation team.

After saying hello and chatting for a while, Han Yingcai hurried over on his bicycle, his hair a little messy and his face a little annoyed.

Song Hongbing's eyes flashed and he joked, "Did you oversleep?"

Han Ying glanced at him and said nothing.

Song Hongguo pulled her a few steps away and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Han Ying said angrily, "It's not Xu Wei. It's so inexplicable that he came to my door early in the morning to talk nonsense to me. That's why I was delayed..."

Song Hongguo asked curiously, "What did he say to you?"

Han Ying gritted his teeth and said, "He said he was going to the reservoir. He won't be back until New Year's Day. It's too difficult to take leave in the middle, so he asked me to go see him during my shift. Damn, why should I go? It's a lot of driving and reversing back and forth. Did he know that he was suffering? He also asked me to bring him food. He told me that the food at the reservoir was too bad and he had lost weight. It was none of my business. I refused. What do you think he said? "

Song Hongguo suppressed her laughter and asked, "Isn't he using your father to suppress you?"

Han Ying glared, "How do you know?"

Song Hongguo said, "You're right. Last night in the auditorium, I saw him coming in with your father. The two of them were sitting there, chatting very enthusiastically, and their relationship was quite close."

Hearing this, Han Ying became even more angry, "He is so shameless. What does it mean to stick to my dad? He could just stick to my grandpa!"

Song Hongguo joked, "It's not wrong to save the country through curves."

Han Ying cursed, "Go to hell with your curve to save the country. That bastard is so arrogant that he coaxed my dad to side with him and scolded me for not being considerate enough for him."

"So, you promised Xu Wei to go to the reservoir to see him?"

"He used my dad to suppress me, but I wasn't afraid. My relationship with my dad wasn't that good anyway, but he mentioned my uncle and grandpa again, so I just..."

Song Hongguo raised the corners of her lips and teased, "You can only compromise. Understand, understand. Sure enough, this curved route to save the country is correct."

Han Ying patted her in annoyance, "Did you turn your elbow to his side too?"

Song Hongguo shook her head hastily, "Of course not."

While the two were talking, the large truck was also packed up. There was an open space in the carriage and a few horses were placed to make it easier for them to ride to the provincial capital.

At seven o'clock, the car set off from the factory, taking the national highway, which was all cement road, so it drove very smoothly, without the bumpy feeling like a boat floating on the waves.

The most comfortable thing is that there is no smell of gasoline in a closed compartment.

Song Hongguo took out the lunch box, handed it to Huo Minglou, asked the other two people, and found out that they had eaten, so she found a bag of fried chestnuts from the bag for them to chew to pass the time.

Huo Minglou was eating steamed dumplings and drinking soy milk, looking satisfied.

Song Hongbing felt sour in his heart. He turned away his eyes and saw that Han Ying and Song Hongguo were chatting enthusiastically. He couldn't get in the conversation, so he turned around to entertain the two children.

In order to relieve their emotions, the brothers started playing with their toys as soon as they got in the car, so as not to think too much.

Half an hour later, the car turned onto a dirt road. The dust was flying and people could not sit comfortably. Song Hongguo took the two children and reminded them calmly, "We are almost there."

Ling Yuan stiffened and leaned tightly into her arms.

Ling Zhi pursed his lips and took a deep breath secretly. After the car stopped, Song Hongbing sat still and everyone else jumped out. Song Hongguo was carrying a canvas bag and holding Ling Yuan in her arms. Huo Minglou was also carrying a bag, which was a gift for Xue Daqing. Han Ying directly brought a sack, stuffed bulging with the cotton jacket and trousers that her eldest sister-in-law had prepared for Cui Xiulan.

"Go back quickly!" Song Hongbing warned meaningfully.

Huo Minglou responded casually, took Ling Zhi's hand and walked ahead.

Song Hongguo looked at the farm gate not far away and ordered the system, "Go and check first to see how Ling Zifeng is doing. Where is he now? Where can we meet easily..."

The system had just been knocked by her, and it was the most obedient time. After hearing the words, she went there in a hurry.

Several people walked to the door and verified their identities to the guards before being let in. They were not allowed to wander around after entering. Someone kept watching them until they reached a row of bungalows and met Xue Daqing. The kind of people who were The discomfort of the surveillance dissipated.

Xue Daqing had received the news a long time ago and knew that they were coming. After seeing them, he greeted them enthusiastically, poured tea and took melon seeds, and his attitude was very polite.

Huo Minglou was not good at talking, but at this moment, he cheered up and dealt with it.

Han Ying wanted to visit Cui Xiulan. As a family member, it was reasonable and allowed to send things to people here. However, they had to be checked to avoid bringing in those who violated the rules and cause any trouble. She did not embarrass Xue Daqing and took the initiative. Untie the sack, take out the contents, and spread them out on the table.

Apart from wearing cotton trousers and a cotton jacket, he only had food and drink.

Xue Daqing glanced casually, waved his hand, and called a young man named Zheng, asking him to take Han Ying to meet someone.

Song Hongguo led her children to follow.

Xue Daqing just pretended not to see it.

The young man looked at the honest man and just walked in front, asking questions before answering in a muffled voice.

"What do you call a comrade?"

"Zheng Zhiguo."

"How many years have you worked here?"

"Two years."

"Are you usually busy?"

"good."

"Then what are you responsible for?"

"Do anything."

The corner of Han Ying's mouth twitched. It was quite difficult to formulate a word. She didn't want to find out any secrets, it was just to establish friendship. It would be nice if she could pay more attention to Cui Xiulan in the future.

But people don't have enough oil and salt.

However, it was not that he had no discernment at all. He should have obtained Xue Daqing's instructions in advance. After leading them to Cui Xiulan's residence, he stayed far away and deliberately gave them a chance to talk privately.

This also greatly facilitated Song Hongguo.

She only met Cui Xiulan once and had nothing to say. After saying hello, she found an excuse to take the children out, leaving Han Ying sitting on the hard Datong bunk to ask questions for her grandson.

Cui Xiulan buried her head and cried while talking.

Song Hongguo helped close the door, and she seemed to be able to hear the sobs in her ears. In such a difficult environment, it was difficult to hold back tears when seeing her relatives.

She didn't know what the scene would be like when she saw Ling Zifeng next time. (End of chapter)
