Back home, the meal is ready.
Seeing her coming back so late, Grandma Yu was very worried. I have been waiting at home, and I am relieved when I see her back, "Why did you come back so late?"
"Go to the black market and buy something." Xu Nannan took out the smoked rabbit meat he just bought from Taobao.
She wasn't going to tell the two elders what happened just now. That Dong Wu has already been abolished, there is no need to come to him to settle accounts. At that time, it caused a commotion instead. And she didn't want the two elders to worry about her anymore. She didn't intend to tell anyone about this.
Not only did he not intend to say it, but he also made an alibi.
"Grandma, give some to Director Qiu's house. Li Jinhua came to the house to make trouble before, thanks to his good words."
Director Qiu is the workshop director of the factory, and the house that Grandpa Yu lived in is now assigned to his family.
Grandma Yu is not reluctant.
She and Lao Yu are getting older, and the two children will have to be taken care of in the future. It is always good to have an extra good relationship. So he cut off a rabbit leg and asked Xu Nannan to send it by himself. It can be considered a familiar face.
Xu Nannan immediately wrapped it in paper and sent it to Director Qiu's house.
Director Qiu's daughter-in-law opened the door. She was quite surprised to see Xu Nannan coming. When Xu Nannan took out the rabbit legs, Director Qiu's daughter-in-law immediately smiled.
"What a shame, such a good thing."
"They are all neighbors in the neighborhood. It was thanks to Director Qiu who helped to talk that day, otherwise we, old and young, would not be bullied. This is also a coincidence. I just went to the black market to buy some fine grains for my grandma. It just happened to happen. If it was normal, there would not be such a good opportunity."
Director Qiu's daughter-in-law waved her hand, "No, I didn't find any eggs when I went to buy some eggs last time. Next time you go to the black market, let's go together. The children in the family will also have to eat fine grains. I went several times and didn't touch them." superior."
"Okay, next time I want to go, I'll ask my aunt to go with me." Xu Nannan said with a smile, and looked at the sky again. "It's getting late, I won't bother auntie, I'll go back first." He said to leave.
"Hey wait, how can I go back empty-handed." Director Qiu's wife hurriedly stopped her, and quickly ran into the house to get a few sour pears in a net bag, "The ones from my hometown are not worth anything. Take it back and boil water to drink."
Xu Nannan was also polite, and took it with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you so much, Auntie."
"You're welcome. If you want to eat, come back. There's a mountain over there in my hometown." Compared with a rabbit's leg, this little wild fruit is nothing.
After Xu Nannan left, Director Qiu's wife and he went into the house and hung up the rabbit's legs. The children all stared at them, wishing they could have a bite now.
"Wait a few days before eating." Director Qiu's wife said.
Looking at Director Qiu who was eating again, "I don't think it's a bad thing for Lao Yu to recognize his granddaughter. Look at how filial he is, and he even went to the black market to buy fine grains for them to eat. No granddaughter is so filial. "
Director Qiu said, "Their family is good, otherwise Li Jinhua can keep an eye on their family?"
"This is how good people are bullied. This Li Jinhua is so generous, she will have her retribution sooner or later. Her previous daughter-in-law was good, and they tortured her to death. The widows in the factory are not willing to marry them Home. Now I still want to stare at such a young and beautiful girl, and the toad wants to eat swan meat."
"Okay, let's leave this matter alone, we can't." That kind of nonsense can only wait for God to accept it.
When Xu Nannan returned home, dinner began.
Grandma Yu steamed the cut rabbit meat and ate it.
In a daze, he ate Xiaoman until his mouth was full of oil.
At night, Xu Nannan was thinking about what happened in the afternoon, but he was still in shock, and couldn't sleep well. I don't know how things will develop later. Dong Wu was not found. What happens when you find out.
After thinking about it for a long time, the more I thought about it, the more I got a headache, so I started counting sheep.
You must sleep, the more sleep you need, the better your spirit will be, and the safer you will be.
After tossing and tossing until midnight, I finally fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Nannan got up and put on a mask. Apply to eyes. Looking at the refreshed and energetic look in the mirror, I finally felt relieved.
He and Xiaoman had two buns and one egg, and ate them while walking on the road.
When passing the grove, she quickened her pace and walked directly without even looking at it.
When he got to the mine, Xu Nannan finally found a sense of security. I greeted Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei asked her about voting, "Director Xu's wife also came to see me yesterday, and I have already agreed. Don't look at her, but at Director Xu's. After all We've known each other for so many years." Frankly speaking, the relationship between him and Xu Jiansheng these years is quite good. Except that Xu Jiansheng was a little confused about how he treated his own daughter, there was nothing that could be faulted in other aspects.
But he has a good relationship with Xu Nannan, and he doesn't want to create a barrier with the child because of this matter, and wants to make it clear in advance.
Xu Nannandao could see his concerns from Uncle Wei's face, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wei, voting is free, that's fine. There are a lot of people looking for me recently, and I'm still thinking about voting for who."
Seeing that Xu Nannan didn't seem to be unhappy, Wei Guobing also smiled, "If you don't have anyone you want to vote for, I can tell you about someone, Lao Liu from the mine, the whole family is still crowded in a single room Well. Both of them are old workers. There are several children in the family. The older one is an adult, and the younger one is still in elementary school. Although the whole family has had a hard time, they are quite harmonious."
"Okay, I'll ask later, if there's nothing else suitable, I'll vote for this old Uncle Liu."
The two were chatting and laughing when they heard the noisy sounds coming from not far from the mine.
Xu Nannan was startled, but pretended to be calm, "What happened?"
Wei Guobing took a look, "I don't know, don't worry, anyway, as long as it's not something about our mine."
Xu Nannan nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll go to work."
When we arrived at the office, everyone came, and Sister Liu was arranging her ear-length short hair.
After pinning the hairpin, seeing Xu Nannan coming, he drank some water and said, "It's counted. A female worker called you just now came to see you a few times. I think it's probably for voting."
"Who is it?" Xu Nannan secretly had a guess in his heart.
"It seems that the one who came to our office last time was that female apprentice mechanic, named Wu or something?"
"Wu Qing,"
"Yes, it's her. Anyway, I came to see you a few times. She also said that you came so late today, did something happen? Tell me, is there anyone who talks like that? Don't say good things early in the morning.
Xu Nannan sorted out his purchase list, and said, "I just chatted with Uncle Wei at the door. I talked about voting, or I would have come here long ago. I'm not surprised you are talking about her. Yesterday afternoon Came to me and cried, insisting that I vote for her. I didn’t agree at the time. I guess I haven’t given up yet. No matter what she is, I won’t vote for her. The last time the house was reported, Liu Miss, do you remember?"
Sister Liu certainly remembered this. Although Xu Nannan was still studying at the Mining Committee, he was also a member of their procurement department after all. Naturally know this too. "What's wrong, there's an inside story?"
"No, I took her as a friend and took her to my house to play. Then I turned around and sold me, and told Jiang Lili in the cafeteria about the house. Knowing that Jiang Lili and I had a bad relationship, she still had a relationship with me. People said, isn’t it obvious that people should report me. Later, I don’t like her anymore. I think she’s quite sinister.”
When other people in the office heard it, it was as if they were listening to a story, and they felt that there was a lot of insider information about this matter.
Xiao Zhang said, "Then if you don't vote for her this time, she won't cheat on you again."
"Who knows, I won't give it to her anyway, I've already decided who to vote for." Xu Nannan looked indifferent.
"Who do you want to vote for?"
"I heard from Uncle Wei that the old Liu's family in the mine is very difficult. I'll see if I can vote for him then."
"I'm going to vote for him too. I really can't afford the debt of favor, so let's give the votes to those who really need it." Sister Liu also felt sorry for her.
While the two were talking, there was another knock on the office door. At first glance, it was Wu Qing who walked in.
"It's coming again." Sister Liu muttered impatiently. I really don't like this kind of girl who is honest on the outside but dark on the inside.
Xu Nannan looked at Wu Qing with a calm expression.
Wu Qing saw her, but it was like seeing a ghost. She took a step back in fright, "Nan, Nan Nan, why are you here?"
Xu Nannan smiled and said, "It's not a holiday today, why can't I come? Your question is also very strange."
"No, yesterday..."
Xu Nannan raised his eyebrows, "What was it yesterday?"
"Yesterday... Nannan, let's go out and talk, okay?" Wu Qing looked straight at her.
"It's really annoying." Xu Nannan complained and stood up, got up and walked out.
When she got outside, Wu Qing looked at Xu Nannan, sizing her up and down, as if she wanted to see a hole in her body.
Xu Nannan stood and was watched by her. After she had watched it several times, she asked, "What are you doing? You asked me to come out without saying a word. You just looked around like this. I have to go to work."
"Impossible, you were obviously..." Wu Qing looked at Xu Nannan who seemed to be intact and had no problems, her eyes were a little red, and she subconsciously reached out to pull Xu Nannan's clothes, as if she wanted to check if there was anything on her.
Xu Nannan took a step back, "What are you doing?"
"I clearly saw you being..." Halfway through Wu Qing's words, she couldn't believe it. Yesterday she clearly saw Xu Nannan being dragged into the grove by a man. That man was so tall, Xu Nannan would definitely not be able to escape.
At that time, she almost went back to call for someone, but when she walked to the mine gate and looked at the people standing guard, she didn't want to say anything. Xu Nannan's luck has always been so good that even God can't see it. That's why she was punished. If you meddle in your own business, will you be punished by God
Forget it, never mind. Anyway, Xu Nannan has gained so much, so what if he loses some. Why did she get all the good things.
After this time, Xu Nannan will not even be able to compare with her in the future.
She didn't sleep all night, just waiting for the morning to see the situation.
Seeing that Xu Nannan hadn't come, she was both scared and excited. I thought it really happened yesterday.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nannan actually came.
She looks like nothing at all.
How is it possible.
Xu Nannan watched her face change several times, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she sneered. When she was dragged to the grove yesterday, she saw Wu Qing. At that time, she couldn't care about Wu Qing's grievances anymore, thinking that she would save herself. After all, for such a big matter, if it was her, even if it was the old Xu's family who were stretched into the grove, she would help. You can't take risks, it's okay to call people. This is the basic conscience of being a human being. How is it different from a beast if you don't want to save yourself
But Wu Qing let her see it well. There was really someone desperate to save her, so she ran away. It's not to call someone, it's really running away.
And judging from her reaction just now, she guessed that she still wanted to be treated badly by others.
Xu Nannan never thought of taking revenge on others. She always fought back to protect herself when someone provoked her. In this era that is not yet peaceful, who doesn't want to protect themselves wisely and live in peace.
But this time Wu Qing's actions really made her hate her.
"Have you seen enough? I have to go." Then he turned and entered the office.
Wu Qing pulled her, "Nannan, can you promise me about voting? If you promise me, I won't say anything."
"I don't understand what you said." Xu Nannan looked at her inexplicably.
Shake off her hand and come into the office.
Wu Qing stood behind her, looking straight at her, "Impossible, there must be something wrong, she's just pretending." She saw it with her own eyes, how could she go wrong. That person is so tall, he must have great strength, and he will succeed.
In the office, Sister Liu saw Xu Nannan's unhappy face and asked, "Troubled you to vote again?"
Xu Nannan said helplessly, "I don't know what to think, I have to vote. Why should I listen to her, who do I think she is? I just didn't know what to say, as long as I promise her, she won't say anything .I don’t even know what I’m talking about.”
"I guess I want to speak ill of you."
"Never mind her, I'm not afraid of crooked shadows when I'm upright."
"Well said." Xiao Zhang applauded, "The people in our procurement department are not easy to bully, how can we be bullied by a female apprentice. If she really dares to molest Nannan, we will confront her and see who is the best." .”
Xu Nannan thanked with a smile, "Thank you Brother Zhang." Everything that can be arranged has been arranged, so you are not afraid of anything!
It was a peaceful morning. A few people came to ask Xu Nannan to vote, and when Xu Nannan said that there was a decision, they went back. After all, I don't have much friendship with other girls, so I don't vote if I don't vote.
When it was almost noon, Section Chief Xiao came back with a serious face on his face.
"Lesbians, pay attention recently and go home early at night. It seems that the past two days have not been peaceful." Xiao Ke said.
Hearing this, the rest of the office cheered up, and Sister Liu said, "Why is it not peaceful?"
"A worker found a man lying in the woods this morning. Good guy, his legs are broken. You said it was scary. The public security bureau just sent it to the county hospital, and he came to us to investigate and see the mine. Does anyone know about this, I just heard about it in the mine manager's office."
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the law and order has always been good, and such a thing has never happened in Nanjiang County.
Several people were a little apprehensive.
Sister Liu murmured to Xu Nannan, "Go home early in the future. It's too scary."
Xu Nannan felt concerned. Nodding again and again.
Such a thing is still a big deal in Nanjiang. Not far from the mine, the news spread to the mine, which caused quite a stir.
Everyone is guessing who did it, and all kinds of conspiracy theories are being compiled. The most guessed among them may be that everyone thinks it was done by secret agents. Imperialism will never die. This is to cause confusion and make the common people mess up.
Xu Nannan listened in the cafeteria, and felt that it was a pity that these people did not write spy war scripts.
During the meal, Li Weiming kept staring at Zhu Fang. After eating, he said solemnly, "I will take you back after get off work every day."
"Cough, cough, cough," Zhu Fang coughed, "Is it necessary? I live in a dormitory, and I don't need to go out of the mine."
"Be prepared." Li Weiming looked serious.
Xu Nannan was blinded by this pair, and waved his hands, "Don't be polite to each other, both of you."
Zhu Fang gave Li Weiming a look, and looked at Xu Nannan, "I really don't need to send it off, but you, you really need to pay attention when you go back."
"In the future, I will go with the big team. It's fine. You have to trust our comrades in the police department."
"If the public security comrades were in charge, such a thing would not have happened."
Zhu Fang muttered.
No matter what, this matter is making a lot of noise in the mine. After work in the afternoon, many female workers went together. Xu Nannan also walked with Sister Liu. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it when I get to the county road.
Back home, Grandma Yu was cooking. Seeing Xu Nannan came back, she pulled her and said, "Something happened to Dong Wu!"
"What's the matter?" Xu Nannan looked puzzled.
"It happened near your mine. Someone broke his leg and threw him into the grove." Even his lifeblood was trampled to pieces. It's not easy for her to tell her unmarried granddaughter about this kind of thing.
When the old lady talked about this, she looked sad. "God can't stand it, people, you still can't do bad things." Thinking of Xu Nannan working in the mine, and Dong Wu having an accident near the mine, he was worried that Dong Wu would go to find Xu Nannan, and asked, " Did you see Dong Wu later?"
Xu Nannan shook his head, "No, I've been very careful these days, and it's pretty peaceful."
Grandma Yu was relieved.
When eating in the evening, Grandpa Yu came back from watching the excitement outside and talked about it. "Li Jinhua has already gone to the police station and said she knows who killed her son."
Grandma Yu said, "Just like her family, it's good not to harm others. Who would care about harming them?"
Xu Nannan nodded, his words really hit the nail on the head.
In the Public Security Bureau, Li Jinhua yelled again. This time she was confident. Something happened to my son, and it was the responsibility of the Public Security Bureau to find the murderer.
Wu Gongan, who was in charge of the business, was so quarreled that he couldn't help it. The old aunt had come to make trouble before.
"You have no evidence, how can you believe that a girl killed your son?" The little policeman next to him said speechlessly.
That's why they didn't accept the case. The one Li Jinhua reported was not someone else, but the female worker in the mine who had been molested by her son last time. The female worker is only seventeen years old, she is not tall, and she is still a cultural person who sits in an office. It is too unreasonable to beat a tall man like this.
Li Jinhua cried, "It must be her, it can't be wrong. My son went to find her. She was in the mine, and my son had an accident near there. Who else could it be if it wasn't her."
Regardless of who caused it, it must have something to do with this girl anyway. If it wasn't for her, nothing would happen to her son. Last night, her son didn't come back all night. She thought she was doing something with this dead girl outside, but something happened in the morning. Asked what happened to his son, he also kept his mouth shut and said nothing, and told her to get out.
Anyway, this girl can't get rid of her relationship and must be responsible.
Otherwise, who will take care of this son with a broken leg in the future.
Li Jinhua had a good idea, but the comrades of the Public Security Bureau did not buy it.
"I remember your son was imprisoned for a few days last time because he played hooligans on others. After he came out, he went to find others. Isn't this a crime knowingly? Do you still pay attention to the law and the public security department? ?" Wu Gongan, who was a little older, slapped the table angrily.
Li Jinhua was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry, "Then what should I do about my son, I know it's her." Anyway, just insist on it.
Wu Gongan said solemnly, "We will handle the necessary procedures for handling cases. We will definitely ask this lesbian. But if you sue someone casually like this, it is a false accusation and you have to bear the responsibility."
Li Jinhua was taken aback by what was said.
The little policeman added fuel and vinegar, "This responsibility is not small, you should go to jail."
"That's not true." Wu Gongan nodded.
When Li Jinhua heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears, "My son is still in the hospital, I have to go and see. It's up to you to investigate this matter. But don't let those bad guys get away with it."
After speaking, he ran away.
The little Gongan said, "What kind of person is this? They think the Public Security Bureau is run by their family."
"People who haven't learned much. But what she said can be regarded as a clue. Aren't you going to investigate the mine tomorrow, and ask by the way."
No matter how serious the outside affairs are, for the workers in the mine, it is not as big as the distribution of houses.
After several rounds of screening by the Mining Committee, the list of voters for housing allocation was finally determined.
The list was posted on the bulletin board for the trade unions and workers to supervise, proving that this time it was absolutely fair, open and just.
The names on the list are naturally full of joy, regardless of whether they can be divided in the end, at least there is still a chance this time. Even if you don't get the points this time, the chances of getting it next time are even greater.
Wu Qing stood in front of the bulletin board and watched for a while, then bit her lip and left.
She and Zhang Liang didn't get the certificates, and they weren't even qualified to participate in the house distribution.
But if Xu Nannan had agreed to give her a vote before, she would have been able to persuade Zhang Liang and her to get the certificate, and now she might have a chance.
Missing this time, Zhang Liang's mother still doesn't know when she will agree to their marriage.
When passing by the Mining Committee, the little policeman was sitting inside, wearing a particularly conspicuous uniform.
