Chapter 254 Find someone

After loading the eggs into the car, Xia Zhi gave instructions to the driver and then to Gu Zhaolin.

“Xiao Gu, I won’t go with you to deliver eggs to the county. Anyway, you delivered them last time. You just deliver the eggs directly, count them, and sign them.

Then the tractor came back to pick me up, and I wanted to pull some stone slabs back. "

  I put a pack of cigarettes into the driver’s hand. Although it was not a big front door, the driver was still happy.

Of course we are well aware of this kind of thing. How can anyone not use public goods for personal matters?

Gu Zhaolin's eyes lit up when he heard about the quarry.

 “Okay, you wait here, I’ll be back soon.”

 Watching the tractor leave, Xia Zhi said to Sister Xia,

“Sister, take me up to the quarry and take a look. I’ll see how the stone slabs look like. I’ll wait for them on top.”

“Okay, Xiaoxia, I’ll send you up, but I’ll have work for a while, so I’ll tell the director of their market factory to make sure everything is done properly for you. Spend less money to do big things.”

 Tell Xia Zhi in a low voice, this is also to make a favor with Xia Zhi.

The two of them walked up the mountain talking and laughing, from here to the quarry on the mountain in the distance.

Unexpectedly, the path we walked was not very close. It took us more than half an hour to reach the bottom of the mountain.

The quarry is at the foot of the mountain. Their stones are transported from the mountain, processed at the foot of the mountain, and then taken away from here.

The quarry is very simple. There are actually no walls around it, just a row of shabby houses built at the foot of the mountain.

 It looks like that house should be a dormitory for workers.

There are various stones and stones placed on the large flat land at the foot of the mountain.

Xia Zhi looked at the shirtless workers working hard in the quarry but did not see Gu Zixi.

Sister Xia led her to the director of the quarry. The director of the quarry was a man in his 40s, also named Xia.

I heard that Xia Zhi was here to get the slate, and the flowers bloomed immediately. After all, this was a private job.

 Privately, this money will definitely not be recorded in the factory’s account. Although it can be said to be cheaper, it is basically kept in one’s own pocket.

 That means you have lost the favor and still have income.

Sister Xia went straight back to the chicken farm after explaining, letting Xia Zhi have time to go find her later.

Xia Zhi looked at the dozens of bluestone slabs, not to mention that the craftsmanship of the slates here was very good.

Theoretically, there is no need to pave the road herself, but she will live in the chicken farm for many years, so she plans to clean up the road to the dormitory next to the chicken farm.

Of course the more important thing is that she wanted to find this excuse, otherwise how could she come to the quarry?

 Director Xia was very busy, so after giving the explanation, he let Xia Zhi wander around here by himself.

Xia Zhi didn’t see Gu Zixi grabbing a worker next to him and asking.

“Comrade, I would like to ask if Gu Zixi is in the quarry?”

 The young man must be only 18 or 19 years old. When he saw Xia Zhi, he was a little shy and didn't know where to put his hands.

 Said slightly shyly.

"Brother Gu is sick. He has been lying in the dormitory for several days."

 “What’s wrong?”

 “Can you take me to see him?”

“It works, our dormitory is right in front and it’s easy to find, but do you know Brother Gu? Who are you?”

The boy looked at Xia Zhi with curiosity. After all, Xia Zhi was so beautiful. The clothes he wore made him look different from the people in his village. He looked like a cadre.

None of the cadres in their village can dress so neatly.

Xia Zhi’s clothes didn’t even have any patches, which was certainly eye-catching, especially since they had four pockets.

 These days, only cadres wear clothes with four pockets. This is almost a fact recognized by everyone. “Gu Zixi is my brother.”

The young man was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

I really don’t know what’s going on in Gu Zixi’s family, but I didn’t expect that he actually has a sister who is a cadre.

 Why don’t you tell me about your sister who is a cadre?

 If the production team leader knew that he had a sister who was a cadre, he would definitely not dare to send him to the quarry.

Sent to the door of the dormitory, the young man pointed at the door,

 “He lives in this dormitory, go ahead!”

Xia Zhi hurriedly took out a hard-boiled egg from his satchel and stuffed it into the young man's hand.

“Comrade, thank you, this is a little thought, please take it.”

The young man was startled. No one is willing to eat eggs these days, and they all save money by selling them.

 Large-scale chicken farms do have eggs, but they are supplied by the state and have nothing to do with the people in their village.

 I want to refuse, but I am a little reluctant to give up. This is an egg after all, and an egg costs 5 cents these days.

Xia Zhi did not allow him to refuse, and had already turned around and knocked on the door. The young man thought for a while and ran quickly with the eggs in his arms. He owed someone a favor.

No one responded. Xia Zhi knocked on the door again, but it was still quiet.

Xia Zhi listened attentively. It was definitely impossible for the young comrade to talk nonsense to him.

She pushed the door with her hand. Unexpectedly, the door was not locked. She opened the door with a squeak as soon as she pushed it.

The house is relatively simple, but the houses here are all built with stones.

 Compared with thatched houses and mud houses, this kind of house is stronger and rarely leaks from rain or water.

 The house is also relatively spacious.

 As soon as you enter, you can see that there is a row of large shops in the house.

 At first glance, it is a bit spectacular, and it can sleep more than ten or twenty people at once.

There were unmade beddings thrown on the bed, and the room exuded an unpleasant smell, including the smell of feet, sweat, and various other smells mixed together.

 In the midst of this mess, she saw a spot near the foot of the bed.

 A quilt roll is placed there. To be honest, a person is sleeping there with a quilt rolled up.

If it weren't for Xia Zhi's good eyesight, it would be really difficult to find anyone among this pile of dirty quilts.

Xia Zhi walked up to him and looked carefully. Sure enough, it was Gu Zixi. Gu Zixi had his back to him and faced the wall.

 Slept there with a tight quilt wrapped around him.

 Xia Zhi walked up to him and called softly.

 “Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi!”

●Just now, when I was facing the young man, she easily told me that I was his sister. This was probably because I was often tactful and did not even blink when I lied.

 But now she had no way to call Gu Zixi "big brother".

But she called Gu Zixi twice but there was no response. Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, nothing would happen!

Hearing that he was sick, he hurriedly walked over and gave Gu Zixi a push.

 “Gu Zixi, Gu Zixi!”

As a result, when he pushed it with his hand, he realized that Gu Zixi's body was hot.

 Following his movements, Gu Zixi fell down directly.

 The moment his back touched the bed, Gu Zixi let out a painful groan.

Like a conditioned reflex, Gu Zixi quickly turned over and lay on the pillow. At the same time, he opened his eyes and saw Xia Zhi standing in front of him.
