I rolled my eyes at him and pulled out two red tickets. I had the storekeeper bring us two barrels of oil and a bag of rice.
He couldn't possibly go to someone's home without bringing anything with him.
The storefront owner was very excited, saying how could the two of us be good comrades who knew the hardships of the masses.
I let Zhang Tiangang carry the oil, then left with the noodles.
Just as he walked to door 39, Zhang Tiangang exclaimed.
When I asked him what was wrong with them, Zhang Tiangang pointed at the signs on the barrels of oil in a bad mood. I looked at them and said, "Isn't it just a Goldfish that you eat frequently, what kind of oil do you expect to buy in the countryside?"
"Goldfish my ass." Zhang Tiangang let me take a look at it again. It says "All Dragon Fish", I don't know which corner produced this fake fish.
"What the f * ck? This restaurant is really dark." Zhang Tiangang said indignantly.
I let him down, saying that this was the way it was in the countryside these days, going out to buy six walnuts, and that if he didn't look at them it would be sixty when he got them back.
Buy a bag of detergent, carved on the brand, look carefully, it says Zhou Xi brand washing powder.
He had to master a pair of Fiery Eyes of Truth, and have a deep understanding of Xinhua Dictionary before he could buy fake goods.
As we were talking, the door of the thatched cottage creaked open and a stick poked out. It took a long time before an aged voice could be heard:
"Who's standing outside?"
I hastily smiled and said, "I have brought some oil and rice for you to come over to meet you, comrade."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Come on in." Only then did the sound from inside open the door. It was only after being exposed to the sunlight outside that I could see clearly that there was a old lady standing behind the door.
He was about 70 years old and his eyes were not open. He was just using a stick to touch the ground. It seemed like he had gone blind.
Zhang Tiangang and I looked at each other. This person should be Tang Tao's mother.
old lady looked around, trembled, moved two wooden chairs over, and laughed:
"I'm already old and my daughter isn't by my side. My eyes can't see and I can't take care of her."
I quickly nodded my head with a smile on my face. I said that we were alright, and gave the two buckets of oil and rice to old lady in the kitchen.
Zhang Tiangang smiled and said that the two of us were sent by the Bureau to support the village. There was only an old man in this house, where did her daughter go?
When old lady heard this question, he did not answer for a long time. He let out a long sigh and said:
"Sigh, my daughter is a good girl. Her family is too poor, and last year, she went to work with a relative outside the country. Half a year ago, she came back, but after half a year, there was still no letter."
I nodded my head. This was similar to the news that the shop owner had given us before. I asked old lady if her daughter was called Tang Tao.
Hearing these two words, old lady nodded his head and asked me excitedly:
"Comrade, you know where my daughter is."
We are in trouble, the old lady is already like this, we can't possibly tell her that her daughter has already become a zombie.
I was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say, but Zhang Tiangang actually cleverly laughed:
"Don't worry old lady, your daughter is working near our unit, she's too busy, so it's not convenient for her to come back. So this time, not only are we here to support the rural construction, the most important thing is to help Tang Tao look for you."
While talking, Zhang Tiangang opened his wallet and handed over all the red bills. There were about ten of them, and he rubbed his fingers at me.
I knew what he meant, so I took out all the money I had on me. I didn't bring much money with me.
Zhang Tiangang stuffed all of them into the hands of the old lady and said:
"Tang Tao told us to bring this back to you. She told us to ask you to buy some food and drinks.
old lady rubbed his money, and said with a sigh: "I am a girl that isn't willing to eat or drink, leave all this money to me, what money can I, a old lady, spend, you all tell her not to eat or give up, don't buy herself some Clothes, I will save this money for her as a dowry."
When I heard this, I felt a little sore at the tip of my nose, and my eyes reddened. I didn't say anything for a long time.
When the old lady heard that the two of us did not speak, he became nervous, "What's wrong, comrades? Did something happen to my daughter?"
I hastily waved my hand and said, "Your child's life is going to be great. When the conditions are met, I'll bring you into the city."
After the old lady heard this, he became somewhat relieved. Zhang Tiangang pretended to be indifferent and asked:
"Who was it that previously brought Tang Tao out to work?"
When she came across this problem, old lady thought for a long time before saying that a cousin of hers had recommended her out.
"Then what's the name of this cousin? Where did she come from?"
"That girl is called Xie Yun. I heard that she opened a clothing shop in the city, she was very smart and capable, and I didn't interact with her much. After taking my girl away, I haven't seen her."
The two of us nodded, thinking that this must be related to Xie Yun.
Initially, I wanted to ask what the name of this clothing shop that was opened by the old lady called Xie Yun was. However, the old lady was illiterate and only said that she opened a clothing shop for half a day without knowing anything else.
We are in a bit of a predicament. There are at least hundreds or thousands of clothing stores in the city. We can't possibly ask the boss about his name one by one.
old lady originally wanted to ask us to come down and eat dinner, but how could we have the heart to stay?
old lady walked us all the way to the door, and amiably told us not to be too busy during official business, and to take care of our health, etc. After returning, she told Tang Tao that she missed her, and that she should come back when she was free.
In my heart, I felt terrible and could only nod my head repeatedly.
After we got into the car, we couldn't help but to let out a long sigh.
Wasn't Tang Tao the same as well? This white-haired man had sent the black-haired man away, and she would be waiting here for the rest of her life for someone who would never come back.
After we returned to the city, we called and told Cai Wenlong of this news, and told him to find a woman called Xie Yun.
After that, we went to the store. Cai Wenlong had to help him settle his problems, but he had to take care of it properly.
But when we went upstairs, Zhang Tiangang's face immediately darkened, and he cursed, "F * ck you!"
