On the night of the 24th, Zhao Changan and Xu Wanrong invited four of Xu San's former men from Moon Lake Battlefield to have dinner at Jin Shibo's food stall.

Among them was a middle-aged man named Zhao Mingde, who was very prestigious among the four.

Zhao Mingde was laid off as the workshop director of the diesel engine factory and was the person in charge of the sand dredging site in a creek upstream of the Moon Lake Sandfield.

In addition to the two dredging and sand mining boats in the Moon Lake Sand Field, there are also three sand mining points in several streams upstream.

Among the four places, the sand mining point that Zhao Mingde is responsible for is the one with the lowest yield and the worst efficiency.

Xu San wanted to replace Zhao Mingde a few years ago, but it was better not to replace him. Once he replaced the workers at the sand mining site, as well as the villagers nearby, they were unwilling, so they kept pinching their noses and admitting it.

As for this incident, the other three minor responsible persons have not yet come out. However, because Zhao Mingde acted upright and had no disputes with the surrounding villagers, he just made a record and went home.

At the wine table, Zhao Changan directly explained what she meant on behalf of Xu Wanrong.

Led by Jin Shibo and Zhao Mingde, they first rebuilt the framework of the Xu family sand and gravel factory. They were not in a hurry for production, but maintained the current status of the factory and the maintenance of machinery and vehicles.

He also gave them the phone number of the guard room of the wood saw factory. If there was any need for force, he would call Lu Baosan and tell him his name as Zhao Changan.

And she left 50,000 yuan for various expenses. Sun Xiuer went to a business school to major in accounting. Although it was a half-empty job, she still had the ability to write down accounts with a pen.

The salaries of Jin Shibo and Zhao Mingde are tentatively set at 2,000, the wages of the old men attending the four factories are 1,000, the workers working the opposite shift are 900, and Sun Xiuer is 500.

In the past year, due to the booming development of the mountain city construction industry, some wealthy companies have increased their employee salaries, but they are still around seven or eight hundred, so the salary offered by Zhao Changan is already very attractive.

And with such a high salary, he was doing a security job where he could sleep. When they heard the salary standard offered by Zhao Changan, Zhao Mingde and the three workers, as well as Jin Shibo and Sun Xiuer, their eyes lit up.

"You should stop doing this food stall. Sun Xiu'er can still do it -"

"Holy shit!"

Jin Shibo smiled and hit Zhao Changan on the shoulder, causing the food in his mouth to spurt out, and his face turned red with laughter.

Sun Xiuer, on the other hand, blushed and gave Zhao Changan a fierce look.

Zhao Mingde and the three workers also laughed.

"If it's a good idea, why do you think so dirty? I mean, Sun Xiu'er can continue to run a food stall. I think your parents can't pay you three or four hundred yuan a month in salary for a few months. It's better to let them

They took over the food stalls, after all

Your parents are only in their early forties, which is the time to do things. Sun Xiuer, aren't your parents also laid off? Build a fried skewers cart nearby, join forces, and when Sun Xiuer comes home at night, Lao Jin, you too

Don’t worry about your wife being bullied.”

Seeing the excited expressions of Jin Shibo and Sun Xiuer, Zhao Changan knew that the matter was finally done.

Otherwise, if the food stall business is so good now, if Jin Shibo really follows him and earns a dead salary of two thousand yuan a month, his parents may not agree.

Since everyone can solve a problem happily, why do we have to make it anxious and confrontational.

——

The moon and stars are sparse.

Chen Chongyi stood at the foot of the mountain, separated by an artificial river more than ten meters wide, which was the Xu family villa.

On the opposite side of the river, there was a row of small tree-like roses planted. During the day, Chen Chongyi admired them for a long time. There were red, pink, and white flowers, and they were as big as a sea bowl. They were so delicate and beautiful that they could be seen.

Chen Chongyi is obsessed with it.

I sighed in my heart that Xu San, a dog~, was so good at enjoying life. It was really a good thing to catch him!

At this time, Chen Chongyi was already covered in stench from drinking the lake water.

I don't know how much shit was splattered on my shoes, pants, and the hem of my shirt during the crackling. I was exhausted and hungry.

"Old!"

Only in his early forties, he was infinitely sad.

I remember when my family lived in the mountains, when I was thirsty, even in the dead of winter, I would go out to the stream to drink from the buffalo, and I never had a stomachache.

In these years of living a good life, I have never drunk raw water. I drank it once and I was caught in a fight (caught, seduced).

Chen Chongyi looked at the watch on his wrist in the moonlight and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

The old man in the duty room at the battlefield was old and lacked energy. He turned off the lights and went to bed as soon as it got dark after eight o'clock. If it weren't for the purpose of recovering his exhausted strength, he would have swam down the river two hours ago.

At this time, except for the chirping of wild insects, the rushing of the lake water on the shore, and Chen Chongyi's stomach rumbling from time to time, everything else was silent.

Chen Chongyi knew that he could not wait any longer.

Even if he managed to steal it successfully, he would still have to go around the hill behind him in the dark to get back to the broken road in the battlefield, and then walk another seven or eight miles before reaching the main road.

There are still more than ten miles away from the suburbs of Shancheng City.

It was estimated that by the time we reached the outskirts of the city, it would already be four or five in the morning, and it would be almost dawn.

At that time, it depends on whether you can be lucky enough to find a taxi, and then take the taxi to walk the seven or eight miles to your home.

"Ancestors bless you!"

Chen Chongyi had already taken off his clothes and was preparing to go into the water with his fishing gear bag. He muttered silently in his heart, wishing himself good luck.

He didn't dare to say "parents bless" because he really didn't have the face.

His parents rode cranes one after another, and Chen Chongyi went back alone both times. After returning, he had no money and no energy, so he was just a kowtow and burning paper.

His second brother, third brother, and younger sister all looked at him with cold faces. The third brother pointed directly at his nose and cursed him for forgetting his parents because he had a woman!

But in Chen Chongyi's heart, he has no regrets at all.

I just feel that I am actually aggrieved and find it difficult to do, so why can’t I be understood by them?

Including this time, couldn't Wen Ye return the two jars of medicinal powder that he stole from his house and force himself to get his own things back?

Chen Chongyi stood with his feet by the water, took a deep breath, and looked at the heart-stoppingly beautiful roses under the moonlight on the other side of the river. He thought to himself that he would get something soon, and he would pick a big handful and put it with the medicinal powder tomorrow morning.

Dedicate it to your own woman.

As his thoughts flashed, he stepped into the lake with one foot.

"Wow~"

Stepping through the original ripples of the water, the sparkling moonlight shines.

"Hiss~"

On this hot night, Chen Chongyi was surprised to feel that the lake water was freezing cold.

It made him shiver uncontrollably.

Looking at the full moon reflected in the artificial river, the lake water around the full moon was as dark as the void of endless eternal night. Chen Chongyi couldn't help but shuddered heavily. For some reason, he felt cold in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered why he had been so suspicious tonight, and his heart was pounding.

Because tonight is the twenty-fourth day of the eighth lunar month and the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month (99 years).

Ghost Festival!

When Chen Chongyi thought of this, his scalp suddenly became numb and his back felt cold.

I was so frightened that I wanted to turn around and run away immediately, far away from this place, this man-made river that looked dark and scary.

This artificial river is connected to the Moon Lake at the back. There are always legends in the mountain town that there is a giant python in the lake.

But thinking about his wife's expectations at home, he couldn't go back to face his woman empty-handed!

Chen Chongyi held back his feet and stepped firmly into the river.

"For the sake of my wife! Stay away from all evil!"

He encouraged himself in his heart and shouted in encouragement.

"Wow~"

He rushed straight into the lake.
Chapter completed!
