Chapter 167 Detour (Two Chapters in One)
Fan Jianguo went back and thought about it. He still had to go to the director of the freight office for this matter.
If he doesn't say anything, he will definitely not dare to approve the car.
I went back and bought two bottles of good wine and two good cigarettes and went directly to the director's door.
Anyway, his train leaves at twelve o'clock in the evening.
This time I knocked on the door of the director of the freight office.
"Who?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm Xiao Fan, come to see Director Yao."
The door opened, and the daughter-in-law of the director of the freight office stood at the door and glanced at Fan Jianguo. Especially when she saw what Fan Jianguo was carrying, she felt a little unhappy.
Someone brought something to her door, but the man in her family actually asked her to kick him out.
The problem is that I know in my heart that since my man said this, it means that this matter is not easy to handle.
As a virtuous wife, she had to do a good job no matter what.
"Xiao Fan! Brother Yao, he's not at home, he's on a business trip. You see, I'm busy at home alone, and I can't receive you. Next time, you can come back another day. I guess it will take a week for your brother Yao to come back. return."
Fan Jianguo was just about to say something nice, but the door was closed.
He withdrew his hand from the door, thinking in his mind that it looked like the other party was determined not to do him this favor and wouldn't even give him a chance, which meant that it was useless to ease up.
What to do now? He can't transport the 5,000 kilograms of grain in his hand. And if that's the case, how will the wood from the forest farm be transported back?
A week can waste a lot of time.
Fan Jianguo was so anxious that he scratched his hair.
If we can't transport this food, what will we do then?
Fan Jianguo had no choice but to go back and call his friends.
Since this road was blocked, he tried to find another way.
If the supply and marketing director doesn't give me the carriage, he'll have to give it to someone else.
If the station is not the only one, shouldn’t other train operators not approve of it?
Then he had no choice but to ask others to come out and issue approval notes for approval.
I have to say that Fan Jianguo's mind is really fast.
After making a few phone calls, I immediately found the director of one of the foreign trade bureaus.
Without saying a word, he sent his section chief to get the approval slip and put the 5,000 kilograms of grain on the train.
The external name is the name of their Foreign Trade Bureau, so the freight station naturally handles other people's affairs honestly.
Generally, they can't afford to offend the Foreign Trade Bureau. This kind of foreign trade unit has great power, and it has connections with all the big and small bosses in the city.
A freight station at a railway station would naturally not be able to embarrass the foreign trade bureau.
Besides, there is no reason to offend others.
Fan Jianguo successfully obtained the bill of lading from the freight station.
When you get to the place, just pick up the goods directly with the bill of lading.
I thanked him for a long time. Everyone was mutually beneficial, and the other party asked for a lot of wood from him.
Fan Jianguo then went home, packed his luggage, and prepared to see his niece.
Of course, he had to bring something with him. This time he had a big task. Not to mention his own shopping list, he was also preparing to pave the way for Jiang Xiaoxiaopu.
The child is young, and his uncle must have a clear eye and a clear heart.
When Mrs. Fan and Mr. Fan heard about it, their son actually wanted to visit Xiaoxiao.
Both of them were anxious.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had been in the countryside for more than half a year, and they didn't know any news at all, except that he wrote two letters at the beginning to report that he was safe.
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, there was no news at all, and the two people were particularly worried about the child.
Mainly because I'm afraid that my children won't be able to endure the hardship in the countryside, and besides, it's bitterly cold there.
When they heard that their son was going to the farm where their granddaughter lived, the old couple naturally packed a lot of things and asked Fan Jianguo to bring four bags.
Fan Jianguo looked at the four bags with a bitter look on his face. If he had known it, he would not have said anything. Looking at his big and small bags, it really looked like he was visiting relatives.
Seeing the eager eyes of the old couple, he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to take the train and leave with four bags.
Before leaving, he asked the old couple to call Jiang Xiaoxiao's production team.
He also told Jiang Xiaoxiao the time when his 5,000 kilograms of grain would arrive at the station. Then they would have to ask the forestry farm to send a truck to pull the grain. This was not a small amount.
I can deliver the food to them, but I have no way to deliver it to the forest farm.
The forest farm leaders have to figure out the rest.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was so excited when she received the call. She was worried that she didn't have a good excuse, but she didn't expect her uncle to send the food directly.
Although it seems that these 5,000 kilograms of grain can only solve the food problem of the people in their forest farm.
However, the food in her dimension cannot be taken out blatantly.
This requires a train bill of lading, and there is a train bill of lading.
Who would doubt it?
A great uncle fell from the sky.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was happily grinning from ear to ear all day long.
Li Dahu didn't go out today because the north wind was blowing here again today. Once this whistling wind blows, it will be so cold that people will freeze to death.
Hearing Jiang Xiaoxiao say that things at the train station vaguely seemed to be related to food, he immediately pricked up his ears.
The county had already started a meeting to let them carry out self-rescue.
What the hell are they doing to save themselves?
Even if they barter, what can they get out of there?
I just picked some mushrooms, fungus, hazelnuts and the like in the mountains in the summer, and what kind of food can this amount be exchanged for? It's not enough to transport a wagon to the train station.
As the production team leader, he was naturally worried.
There were quite a few people in their 12th brigade. Now, there were more than 500 educated youth this year alone.
These were all mouths to feed.
Although the rations were distributed, they had been eaten up since the Chinese New Year and the beginning of spring.
In a while, the soil in the fields will really thaw, and then they will have to go to the fields to work.
But without food, how can you let them work?
In previous years, at this time, the county would always allocate food, but this year, due to the severity of the snowstorm, the county provided relief to other production teams and farms.
Their farm was ranked last because their farm suffered the least from the snowstorm.
In some places, because of this snowstorm, houses collapsed, crushed people to death, and even froze many people to death. In comparison, their farm was already good.
At this time, they could not cause trouble to the leaders, but they really had no ability to save themselves.
"Xiaoxiao, I heard about food on train cars. How can you get food?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao put down the phone and was caught by Li Dahu and asked.
"Captain, you know the situation in our forest farm. The forest farm has been running out of food for a long time. Our farm manager Guo went to the county for a meeting and came back to ask everyone to save themselves. The county approved a special approval. No matter what method is used, you can find a way to exchange food for it.
You also know that I came from Beijing North, so I naturally contacted my family. My uncle is the director of a sales department in my family. I asked him to find a way to contact him to see if he could exchange wood for food.
Unexpectedly, he really did it. Now the food has been put on the train. If nothing goes wrong, the food will arrive in a few days. My uncle will also come with the car, and then we will send these wood back with it.
I know that our farm is also out of food now. Why don’t you discuss it with our farm manager and come up with a way to distribute some of the food so that everyone can get through this difficult time first."
She knew in her heart that there were thousands of people on the farm, and she couldn’t just watch them starve to death.
But how to distribute the food and how to return the food later were matters between the farm manager and Li Dahu, and had nothing to do with her.
She just needs to get the food out.
Li Dahu was excited, "Just your words will do."
Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around and took Li Chengwu and his brother to Shibalipu. Li Chengwu didn't know what to do, but his father said so!
They did whatever Jiang Xiaoxiao asked them to do.
Li Dahu knew what Jiang Xiaoxiao, a female educated youth, could do.
It must not be a bad thing.
Besides, Jiang Xiaoxiao was a promising girl with great ability. She could get food. Even if she was bold and reckless, Li Dahu would protect her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao brought two sacks with her when she went there.
Li Chengwu and his brother carried the sacks, and they probably knew what was in them.
It must be food.
The amount and the smell, the fragrance of rice and wheat could be smelled through the sacks, which made them greedy.
Last time Jiang Xiaoxiao gave them rabbit meat, but this time Jiang Xiaoxiao got food!
He is a big shot!
But who is it for?
This is the question in their hearts.
Jiang Xiaoxiao went straight to Liu Guoqing's house.
Liu Guoqing is fifteen years old. Life is not easy for his family. Now his parents have passed away, and his younger brothers and sisters are all dependent on him.
His parents just passed away, and the family is now penniless.
In addition to this year's snowstorm, Liu Guoqing sat there worried. What can a fifteen-year-old child do?
He was so worried that his brows were about to frown like an old man.
He looked worriedly at his younger brothers and sisters who were dying of hunger.
This can't go on.
He could starve to death, but he couldn't starve his younger brothers and sisters.
He promised his parents that he would let his younger brothers and sisters survive.
It's easy to promise, but it's too difficult to do it.
Look at the house at home.
Yesterday, the tiger-headed father in the village came. He had three brothers at once. The tiger-headed father's family was considered a bully in the village.
The family is strong.
(There are many boys in the family. The three brothers have four sons. Together, there are fifteen grown men. In the countryside, this is strong, and they are confident when quarreling.)
They said that a bag of cornmeal would be exchanged for three rooms in their family.
He didn't agree at first. Their family spent a lot of money to build the house. It was built by their parents with great effort. It was the hard work of their parents for a lifetime. Now it's a bag of cornmeal. Hu Tou Dad is not afraid of being embarrassed when he says it.
This is intentional.
This is taking advantage of the opportunity.
Besides, he is not stupid. Why does Hu Tou Dad want three rooms?
Isn't it just bullying them because they have no adults? Once they move into this yard, it would be strange if you can drive them away. After a long time, maybe the remaining houses in the family will not be theirs.
For this reason, Liu Guoqing didn't agree.
He didn't dare to agree.
But looking at Hu Tou Dad's aggressive look, he knew that he was not done.
Who knows what will happen next.
He is a half-grown child, I'm afraid he can't protect the house at home.
No one in the village dares to mess with Hu Tou Dad and his family, and the village chief will not protect them.
After all, his family is strong and strong, compared with their family, who are weak, it goes without saying who the village chief will side with!
He was worried and didn't want to agree.
But looking at his younger brothers and sisters, he couldn't just watch them starve to death.
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go find Tiger Head's father tomorrow and agree to it. He would get over this hurdle first.
If it was not possible, he would have to promise his parents when he brought his younger brothers and sisters to beg for food.
As I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door.
Liu Guoqing opened the door.
"Village chief, party secretary?!"
The village chief and party secretary are not the ones who come to visit. In a family like theirs, the village chief and party secretary do not like to come to the door.
Quickly let people into the house.
This is about Jiang Xiaoxiao. When she came to Shibalipu, she didn't go directly to Liu Guoqing's house. Instead, she took Li Dahu with Director Wang to open a letter of introduction. The official seal of the county on it was the imperial edict, and went directly to the village chief.
When the village chief saw this, he treated them as county cadres.
Hospitality of the highest standard.
Be polite, pour tea and water.
Especially Jiang Xiaoxiao's style and clothes, he really looked like a county cadre.
"Village chief, we are from the county's Armed Forces Department, and we are here specifically to express condolences to the family of Comrade Liu Baoguo in your village. We are very sad to hear that Comrade Liu Baoguo has passed away. Comrade Liu Baoguo was a good comrade of our revolution and worked hard for the victory of our country. .
Now that I heard that Liu Baoguo and his wife passed away, we came to express our condolences on behalf of the Ministry of Armed Forces. Here are three hundred kilograms of grain, and fifty yuan as the county wishes. And Liu Baoguo’s comrade-in-arms is Director Wang’s uncle.
Director Wang explained that special care must be taken of the family members of such old revolutionaries. From now on, Director Wang will allocate funds to the three brothers every month and must take good care of them. We cannot watch the descendants of the revolution suffer. "
Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew that what Liu Guoqing and the others needed was the village's protection.
Without the protection of the village chief and party secretary, Liu Guoqing, now a young man, could not withstand the bullying of bullies.
If someone moves their little finger, Liu Guoqing and the others will get out.
She gave away things and money, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Once people leave, their belongings may not fall into their hands, and they may become jealous, which may bring disaster to them.
But it's different when there are village chiefs and party secretaries.
The most permanent solution is for the village chief and party secretary to take the initiative to protect Liu Guoqing and his family from future life problems.
Better than her time and time again.
Sure enough, when the village chief heard this, he immediately started talking.
"Comrades from the hard-working county, we are also very saddened by the death of Comrade Liu Baoguo. We will definitely do a good job in the follow-up work to take care of the military families and ensure that we will not treat them badly."
Liu Baoguo had participated in the Liberation War before and could be regarded as an old revolutionary.
But he was no longer in the team for a long time.
But according to the information, he is still a soldier.
Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew this, so he dared to make an issue with the red-headed documents from the Ministry of Armed Forces.
Thanks also to Director Wang.
Director Wang gave the letter of introduction almost without saying anything. Knowing that Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to protect the weakling, Director Wang was sure that he was willing to be the tiger that Jiang Xiaoxiao pretended to be.
If anyone asks, he won't tell anyone, it's just a reputation.
Director Wang admitted it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get such a thing no matter what.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was grateful to Director Wang from the bottom of his heart. Director Wang helped him from head to toe with many of his things.
I owe Dafa a favor.
I have to find an opportunity to repay Director Wang.
Otherwise, I really won’t be able to get through the hardships in my heart.
As soon as the village chief and party secretary heard this, he personally led people to Liu Guoqing's house.
As soon as he explained his purpose.
The child Liu Guoqing was in tears.
This is timely rain.
People at home will starve to death.
This food can save the lives of the three brothers.
Almost fell to his knees.
Holding Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, tears filled her eyes.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the child. The fifteen-year-old child's face was full of sadness, like a little old man, and he patted Liu Guoqing's shoulder comfortingly.
From now on, Liu Guoqing will have someone to protect him. He will not need to be separated from his family, nor will he have to join the army and leave his family early.
This time she will let Liu Guoqing take a different path.
"Liu Guoqing, if you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the county to see Director Wang and he will solve them for you. Study hard and a special subsidy will be sent to you every month. Take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, take care of yourself, and be a good person. A useful person to the country! Remember?”
Jiang Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would give up halfway again.
Especially to strengthen Liu Guoqing's backstage in the eyes of the village chief and branch secretary.
Liu Guoqing nodded vigorously.
This sister is so gentle, and her words ignite his hope in life.
After staying for a while, Jiang Xiaoxiao left.
Li Chengwu didn't know why Jiang Xiaoxiao did this, but he burst into tears when he saw it.
That kid was much more pitiful than him.
Looking at the two children in this family, they are even more pitiful. They are starving and emaciated. Their parents are still dead. It is really miserable.
At least he still has the protection of his parents. Jiang Xiaoxiao must be doing good deeds without leaving his name behind.
It was probably Director Wang who asked Jiang Xiaoxiao to do it.
Liu Guoqing cooked a pot of porridge for his younger siblings. For the first time, the three siblings fell asleep after eating so much.
Dad Hutou received news again that the county actually sent people to visit Liu Guoqing and his family, and even the village chief and party secretary accompanied him. What a great honor this was.
I originally thought that he was an orphan, but now I know that he has a back-up. I didn't listen to what the village chief said, but there are people in the county who are protecting him.
Officer Wang!
Is that an average person?
Anyone who can be associated with Director Wang is a powerful person.
I have to send money every month. This is government subsidy. Is that the treatment that ordinary people can have?
Even the village chief is considering whether to apply for hardship subsidies for the three children. This favor will not be done in vain.
Didn’t the cadre tell Liu Guoqing to go to the county official Wang if he had any problems?
Of course he knew Official Wang, he was a noble man.
Even the village chief was afraid of him, so Tiger Dad would not dare to do anything wrong!
Those who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble stopped immediately.
They didn’t dare to come to the door.
Liu Guoqing and his brother and sister really lived a quiet life.
No one in the village bullied them, and the village chief even applied for hardship subsidies for them. With this money and the remittance slips sent every month.
Few people in the village bothered the three siblings.
With the monthly subsidies from the county, they finished college smoothly. Liu Guoqing became a teacher in the county, and his brother and sister also took different paths.
This time there was not so much suffering and separation waiting for them.
Of course, the money was sent by Jiang Xiaoxiao on a monthly basis.
Liu Guoqing only found out about this later, but he never understood until his death why Jiang Xiaoxiao helped them who had never met them.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao just helped the three of them for no reason.
