Chapter 25 The captain is my father
"Host, choose this place!" The system was even more excited than she was, "With this kind of village as the shooting background, you can become popular as long as you put a little effort into it."
By then, upgrades will be just around the corner.
"Then do you want to help? It's shameful to just sit back and enjoy the gains. We are in a relationship where both prosper and prosper."
The system immediately asked vigilantly, "What do you want me to do?"
Song Hongguo said lightly, "It's very simple, just contribute a few packs of cigarettes."
"…What do you want cigarettes for?"
"Don't you understand? In the village, when looking for someone to do something, cigarettes are your passport."
She did bring a lot of candy, but for things like buying a house, she had to go to the cadres in the brigade. Those people were not children, and they couldn't be coaxed with a few pieces of candy, but it was easier to talk to them if they handed them cigarettes.
The system is not happy, "...Smoking is harmful to health."
There is no smoke in the grain and oil store, so it has to use up its own energy. It doesn't want to be taken advantage of anymore.
"Stop pushing and blocking, who am I doing this for? Isn't it for our common cause?" Song Hongguo said, "I'll take the photo right now, and when I earn points, I won't keep any points and buy them all.
Okay?"
The system reluctantly agreed.
Song Hongguo clicked on the photo and felt a few more boxes of cigarettes that suddenly appeared in her bag, which made her feel more confident.
"Mom, is this the Tomato Brigade?" Ling Yuan pressed close to her arm, looking around nervously and curiously, "It looks very beautiful."
Hearing this, Song Hongguo couldn't help but smile, "Where's the beauty?"
It will be beautiful until sixty years later, but right now, it is not satisfactory. Although there are mountains and rivers, and the natural scenery is good, the houses in the village are too much.
The thatched roof and adobe walls are not unsightly. They are well-kept, simple and elegant, and have the aloofness of a hermit. But now, with neither food nor clothing, nor warmth, but hard work all day long, who has the mood to deal with it?
Therefore, the thatched roofs and adobe walls at this time only showed poverty, dilapidation, and even filth.
Ling Yuan said, "Everywhere is beautiful, the mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, the houses are neat, and the people look very nice."
At this time, it was already past eight o'clock. People in the village had gotten up early. However, it was just the first month of the new year and there was no work in the fields. There was no need to go to work and the weather was cold. Most of them were sleeping at home, but there were a few scattered ones.
One of them came out to fetch water with a bucket, and saw them from a distance.
The mother and son were strangers, well-dressed and eye-catching. Soon, someone came towards them.
When the two little guys saw her, they subconsciously grabbed her hands.
Song Hongguo squeezed their palms comfortingly and said, "Don't be afraid, mom is here." Then she walked up to them calmly and greeted them proactively, "Hello, comrade, may I ask, is this the Tomato Brigade?
?”
The person who came was in his twenties, of medium height, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was very decent. Although the cotton coat on his body had a lot of pudding, it looked very thick and clean. He nodded and looked at it with doubt in his eyes, "
Who are you? What are you doing in our brigade?"
Song Hongguo said, "I work in the aluminum factory hospital. I came here because I have something to do with the team leader."
Hearing this, the man's voice was slightly higher, "Looking for the captain? Why are you looking for him?"
"There's just something wrong."
When most people hear such vague remarks, they would definitely stop asking questions, but he was very persistent. "What is that?"
Song Hongguo couldn't help but frown, was she worrying too much?
Unexpectedly, the man smiled honestly and said, "The captain is my father. If you are looking for my father, how can I just go home and get it without asking clearly?"
"..."
Okay, this person is indeed qualified to inquire. Song Hongguo could only explain, "I just want to ask if I can buy a house from your brigade."
"Buy a house?" The man's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't you say you work in the aluminum factory hospital? Don't all workers live in separate houses?"
"The hospital is a little nervous for the time being." Song Hongguo pretended to be helpless, "There are many people waiting in line. I have just been assigned to enter the factory and I have two children with me. It's hard to go to a group dormitory with a group of people, so..."
Hearing these words, the man understood immediately. Apparently he had also heard how popular the houses in the factory were. Many young people couldn't even get married because they couldn't wait to be allocated a house. However, "Then why are you here?"
Our brigade? Isn’t the Dongguan brigade closer to the hospital? There is also the Xiguan brigade. There is a hospital there, so living there is much more convenient than in our brigade."
Song Hongguo was silent for a moment, lamenting in her heart that she had nothing to hesitate about buying a house here, but she was struggling with whether to tell the original owner's life experience. The benefits of telling it were obvious, and it would make it easier to be trusted and accepted, and she could integrate into the village as quickly as possible.
, if you get along well, you can still be protected for a while.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. She is afraid of the best relatives. Even if there is only one, she will peel off if she is entangled, especially her biological parents. If they get involved again, even if her surname is Song, she may not be able to do anything.
Skim thoroughly.
So before coming here, she thought she could hide it if she could, but she forgot that when people these days say simplicity, they are really simplicity. If they can warmly let strangers come into the house to ask for water, but if they say they are vigilant, they are really vigilant and want to get to the bottom of things.
It's like he's interrogating a prisoner.
If she doesn't make it clear, let alone buying a house, she might not even be able to see her father.
The other party was still staring at her eagerly. There were other people in the distance who were also curious and walking this way. She had to say, "Because my grandpa lives here."
"Who is your grandpa?"
"Zhao Deshan."
"What?"
…
Ten minutes later, Song Hongguo sat on the kang at the home of captain Zhao Baoqing, holding Ling Yuan in her arms. Ling Zhi stood leaning against her on the kang. Opposite, there were more than a dozen curious people, men, women, old and young, sitting and standing opposite her.
Looked at her.
The young man who brought her here expressed his shock when he heard the name Zhao Deshan. He led her in without asking any more questions along the way. Then he said, "You said your grandpa's name is Zhao Deshan, then your mother."
You won’t call her Zhao Yuzhi, right?”
"Well, let's call her Zhao Yuzhi."
"Ah? It's true..." The man suddenly had a complicated expression, "They don't even look alike..."
"You've only met your aunt a few times. What do you think she looks like?" Zhao Baoqing scolded his son, and then chased him away, "Have you finished digging the stone trough?"
Zhao Zhenhua chuckled and said, "It's so cold today that I can't stretch out my hand. I'll go when the sun gets higher."
Zhao Baoqing went to see other people again. The others also wanted to hear gossip. Anyway, there was nothing to do at the moment, so they all pretended to be stupid and refused to leave. He had to order someone to pour water for Song Hongguo.
Soon, a young daughter-in-law with short hair came in with a bowl of water, placed it on the Kang table, gave her a friendly smile, and specifically mentioned, "It's added sugar, drink some to warm your stomach."
Song Hongguo thanked her. She didn't drink, but she fed the two little ones a few mouthfuls. Seeing the other children in the room staring eagerly at the bowl of sugar water, she quickly took out a handful of sugar from her bag and called them over to share it.
