Xue Jianguo sighed and took a hard bite of the steamed bun.

He said with anger in his heart, "I don't know what the leader of the steel rolling mill is thinking. He left you, the most powerful hunter in the city, instead of looking for someone else. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse?"

Chu Xiangqian thought it over and said, "Second brother, I guess this matter involves a fight between the leaders of the steel rolling mill. We will just pretend that we don't know that someone in the steel rolling mill is trapped in the mountains.

It would actually be a good thing if the help found in the factory could really rescue the hunting team.

If we don’t find it, if we go into the mountain again, we will look even more powerful!”

Xue Jianguo sighed and nodded, "This is the only way."

After saying that, I finally had the time to focus on the fish stewed with shredded radish in my lunch box.

"Why are you eating fish stew again?"

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at him, "If you dislike it, then don't eat it."

"No, no, no, no," Xue Jianguo hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish belly meat, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey, how come Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang's craftsmanship improved so much all of a sudden?"

Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "I asked the two of them to find a master to learn skills. Under the guidance of an expert, the skills have indeed improved very quickly."

Xue Jianguo nodded, and the two brothers ate the fish soup, fish meat, and cooked the four steamed buns in their hands. Then they burped and laughed comfortably.

Xue Jianguo also wanted to help wash the lunch box, but Chu Qianqian hurriedly waved his hand, "Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang will wash the dishes for me."

These words immediately made Xue Jianguo envious, "When I have a disciple, I will also ask him to wash dishes, pour tea, and clean the table for me."

"Come on," Chu Xiangqian hurriedly advised, "Can you and I be the same? I am in charge of the cafeteria, which means I am in charge of everyone's stomach. People wash dishes for me willingly.

If you force your apprentice to do this or that, how can you win their heart?

Besides, if the apprentice you accept in the future still needs you to take the initiative to ask him to do these small things, then you'd better stop paying attention to him as soon as possible."

Xue Jianguo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed, this kind of person is either a white-eyed wolf or has no eyesight. Teaching him will be in vain."

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Chu Qianqian thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well go find his Xiao Laner to warm his hands at noon.

Share what you like to do.

I followed Xue Jianguo out, got on my bicycle and said goodbye to him, and ran to the Princess Tomb in a hurry.

As we approached the place, a basket containing 20 kilograms of Beijing white pears was hung on the handlebar and brought to the entrance of the compound.

Seeing that all four guards knew each other, he looked around, opened the lid of the basket, and winked at a few people.

Take out four and give them to the leader.

How dare the captain accept it, but when he thought about it, Chu Xiangqian couldn't ask for help from himself and others.

There is no need to check him when he comes in and out of this compound. If he eats a few pears, the superiors will not say anything if they find out.

But thinking so, after the captain accepted the pear, he quickly took out Bao Zhonghua from his pocket and threw it to Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian was not polite. This kind of cigarettes supplied internally cannot be bought outside, and the internal price is actually not high.

It is even distributed in quotas. Of course, the captain is definitely not high enough to smoke this kind of cigarette.

It should be given by their leader.

I said hello to the other party with a smile, then rode my bicycle and walked in.

When the lid was closed, four more pears were added to the basket.

At noon, only the old lady and Xue Jinglan’s grandparents were at home in the Xue family.

Seeing Chu Qianqian running over to deliver pears at noon, Xue Jinglan was naturally smiling.

When the old lady smiled, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Chu Xiangqian said hurriedly, "Grandma, there are some changes in the second brother's matter. I guess it has something to do with the leaders of the steel rolling mill scheming against each other.

If this thing doesn't work out, it can only be said to be bad luck."

The old lady felt relieved.

In her eyes, meritorious service is naturally the best, but there is nothing wrong with being safe.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Chu nodded forward, "Second brother couldn't hold it back at noon and ran to the street to find me. I ate with him."

Xue Jinglan muttered with some pity, "Second brother, it's true, why do you keep running to the streets, so that Brother Qian still entertains him?

When Chu Xiangqian saw his little Lan'er pouting, he couldn't help but laugh, and took advantage of the old lady to pour himself tea.

He whispered, "Don't worry, your man and I will have 33 kilograms of rations and 30 kilograms of ration subsidies every month.

Add in the game from the mountains and rivers, let alone feed one, even if you give birth to three or five babies, you will not be hungry."

Xue Jinglan hurriedly turned to look at the old lady. Seeing that she didn't hear her, she blushed and glanced forward.

When I saw a basket of Jingbai pears, each one was about the size of a fist, with white, smooth skin and a waxy luster. Just looking at it made me want to eat them.

After taking two, I went to the kitchen to peel them, cut them into pieces, and brought them out.

The old lady was still worried that Chu Xiangqian thought Xue Jinglan was pretentious, but Chu Xiangqian picked up the small wooden skewer next to the plate without any pretense, took a piece and brought it to herself.

The old lady immediately felt relieved.

Then Chu Qianqian pricked a piece and handed it to Xue Jinglan, and the little girl's eyes widened with a smile.

While eating, he asked, "Brother Xiangqian, how do you know the function of this little wooden sign?"

Chu Xiangqian was stunned and secretly thought that this was indeed a problem. Ordinary people would not use wooden skewers to eat fruit.

Even those senior leaders who came through the war years are not so affectionate.

But then I thought about it, food is scarce these days, and there are even fewer fruits.

It is normal for an apple to be divided into many pieces.

He smiled and said, "In the mountains, there were a lot of wild fruits, but apples were rarely available. So my brothers and sisters and I would cut them up and eat them separately.

As for the wooden picks, since they are placed on the plate, children will know how to use them!"

Xue Jinglan smiled awkwardly, knowing that she had asked a stupid question.

But as long as Chu Xiangqian doesn't feel that she is different from others, then she doesn't care about other things.

He reached out and picked up a wooden skewer and stabbed Chu Qianqian with a piece of pear.

The two of them were laughing and chatting while eating. The old lady watching on the side felt more and more that Chu Xiangqian was the perfect match for her granddaughter.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that Chu Xiangqian got up and went to work.

Xue Jinglan was naturally reluctant to give up, so she could only look at Chu Qianqian with a pouted mouth while avoiding the old lady's sight at the door.

Chu looked forward, but he still didn't understand.

He smiled, hugged her and kissed her.

A few seconds later, Xue Jinglan stood at the door with her heart pounding, watching Chu Qianqian get on her bicycle, waving to herself to leave, and then closed the door in a bad mood.

As soon as I sat on the sofa, the old lady started teasing me.

The shy little girl hurriedly ran back to her room and lay on the bed, thinking about Chu Xiangqian's visit to her granary just now.

He secretly scolded Chu Qianqian for being a gangster, but was secretly happy that he liked his granary so much.

After Chu Xiangqian returned to the street, seeing that nothing happened, he simply hid in the canteen, folded a few stools together, closed his eyes and dozed off, and let the tits fly towards Mentougou again.

Because the long-tailed tit had already discovered the location of the hunting team at the rolling mill yesterday, and even Chu Qianqian couldn't walk much in a day by walking on the mountain road.

The tits flew into the mountains and found them again only ten minutes later.

Chu Xiangqian just glanced at it for a few times and then shook his head. Although the sun came out today, the hunting team could easily determine the directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

But when walking in the mountains, you don’t always get out by walking in one direction.

Mentougou is about 62 kilometers long from east to west and 34 kilometers wide from north to south. It belongs to the remnants of the Taihang Mountains and has a dangerous terrain with a total of 300 dangerous ditches.

Moreover, there are many mountains, and they are tall and steep, with dangerous peaks and peaks.

Walking in one direction, just climbing mountains, walking two or three hills a day will exhaust the physical strength of ordinary people.

If you go into the deep mountains and old forests where even hunters don't go, it will be even more difficult to be found. It may even be impossible to meet the ground search and rescue team.

If it were Chu Xiangqian who led the team, he would definitely find a hilltop, be prepared for fire prevention, and light a few fires.

Relying on the thick smoke, it is easier to be discovered by the forest rangers or mountain people.

Moreover, the forest rangers themselves have the responsibility for fire prevention. They will definitely rush over to check and at the same time send people to report the discovery and be prepared to put out the fire.

It's a pity that the people at the steel rolling mill only focused on walking eastward and never thought about finding a suitable place to camp and wait for rescue.

Chu Qianqian saw that no one in the hunting team was injured, and they were carrying a large, two small, and three wild boars, and they had guns in their hands, so naturally he was not worried about their safety.

I let the chickadee fly east, and after searching for a long time, I saw a search team composed of 5 people in Sitai Village.

And the team this time was actually the same five people who shot and killed a wild boar yesterday when the tits were driving the wild boar away.
