Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: An Incident Occurs

Li Yungui stopped speaking then. His big brother said Third hadn’t contacted him. He should just go back and write a letter to him, whether or not he comes back; you need to write a letter, at least to let the family know you’re safe.

An unreliable sort, but he soon lost steam. The eldest son is also like this, though slightly better than his uncle.

That’s the way it seems now, but if they start a family, they probably won’t come back either, right?

The two returned in the scorching sun. At this time, work hadn’t yet ended, and Qu Xiaoli hurried to make dinner. She had already prepared the dough in the morning, so just steaming the buns would be fine.

Li Yungui didn’t go out either. Qu Xiaoli asked him to cut chives and steam some vegetable buns to eat.

Li Xue hurried home after work, but she saw smoke rising from the chimney. Had Uncle and Aunt returned?

"Auntie, why did you come back so early?"

"It didn’t work out, so we came back early. You’re not needed here; go rest for a while and then it’ll be time to eat."

"Cheng Lin and Hongling said they wanted to eat hot and sour shredded potatoes, I’ll go make it now."

"As for the girl, now she’s got someone, but when will our eldest finally settle down?"

Qu Xiaoli is almost obsessed at this point; she really is worried.

Li Yungui didn’t know what to say anymore. He had already advised her, but his wife was always like this; it’s something that can’t be helped.

Qu Xiaoli sighed again. "This won’t do. I’m going to find the matchmaker this afternoon and ask around. Whether near or far, is there anyone good? I refuse to believe that my excellent son can’t find a partner."

Li Yungui watched his wife with determination and didn’t respond, just let her handle it. Anything he says now might just lead to criticism.

That afternoon, Qu Xiaoli really didn’t go to work. She couldn’t ride a bicycle, so she walked to Han Family Village. That matchmaker is the most capable within the surrounding ten miles. So even if tired, Qu Xiaoli decided to go find her.

It was almost dark when Li Yungui, who was about to go look for her, saw her return.

"Husband, I’ve chosen four already, just waiting for Manjiang to return."

Li Yungui nodded; he had no objections.

The next morning, the Red Army drove, with Li Yunqiang accompanying him. The two started delivering watermelons: to the village supply and marketing cooperative, the county, and the city. This emptied more than half the truck.

"Fourth Uncle, let’s go to the train station."

"Alright, let’s go to the train station."

Upon arriving at the train station, it was practically robbery. The two emptied a truckload of watermelons within an hour.

But this drew the attention of the inspection team. Li Yunqiang took out the application stamped with seals.

"This doesn’t say you’re allowed to sell at the train station."

Despite being young, Red Army’s temper ignited, "It doesn’t say we’re not allowed to sell at the train station either, does it?"

Now they had stirred up a hornet’s nest. Immediately people showed discontent, coming over and surrounding them.

"Red Army, don’t move, listen, let’s just go with them."

But the people didn’t know how to drive the tractor. "Comrade, I’ll go with you, let him drive the tractor. This isn’t a small thing; if it’s damaged or lost, we can’t account for it."

Li Yunqiang was holding back his anger, thinking Tang Jianjun was causing trouble again, this happening every year.

"No way."

"Alright, with so many people here, if the tractor is damaged, you will pay up. Don’t tell me you’re just doing your job. We’re cooperating, but if anything goes wrong, we’ll report it to the Revolutionary Committee, demand compensation from Tangjiazhuang, and not a penny less."

Li Yunqiang immediately widened his eyes. At this point, no one had anything to say; they had a permit in their hands, and this was all because they were backing Tang Jianjun. But if they caused trouble in the future, that’d be another matter.

"Then we’ll all get on the tractor."

The Red Army immediately swung the crank handle, hitting toward Tang Jianjun.

Frightened, they quickly dodged, "You, do you match us? I’m afraid you’ll dirty my truck."

"Fourth Uncle, wait here, I’ll go find someone, I want to see what they’re capable of."

Of course they wouldn’t let him leave, so they were stuck like this. The situation was coincidental too, just happened to meet a female classmate of Red Army, who knew Red Army’s family and immediately ran to find help.

Opening the door was Wang Wugu.

The girl panting heavily, "Is this Red Army’s family?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"Red Army is at the train station, surrounded by the inspection team, there was almost a fight. Quickly go find help."

Lu Fengzhen, who happened to come out, was scared panicked. Wang Wugu couldn’t read, so didn’t know where to go; Lu Fengzhen took deep breaths, feeling a bit of pain in her stomach.

"Wugu, let’s go find Old Li. We need to go now."

"Alright." Wang Wugu, holding Zhibin, locked the door and left for the main courtyard.

It took about twenty minutes to arrive. Lu Fengzhen endured the pain, until reaching the entrance, "Grandpa, please help call Li Yunqiao."

"Who are you?"

"I’m his wife."

"Wait a moment."

Seeing the woman clutching her stomach, sweating profusely, her face bloodless, the guard became startled, quickly calling inside.

Then he brought out a chair for Lu Fengzhen to sit.

Li Yunqiao was in a meeting, and Secretary Wu received the call and hurried downstairs, seeing Lu Fengzhen sitting in the doorway.

"Secretary Wu, Red Army is surrounded at the train station by the inspection team, quickly get Old Li to see."

"Sister-in-law, you are?"

"Don’t mind me, just inform Old Li, I need to go to the hospital. Zhibin, please take him to his parents."

Secretary Wu was startled. "Hold on, I’ll find a car to take you to the hospital." He took the child.

"Don’t be afraid, Red Army needs urgent help. I’m okay now, I can walk slowly."

After talking, Lu Fengzhen held onto Wang Wugu’s arm, the two of them turned and left.

The over forty-year-old Secretary Wu rushed to the meeting room while holding the child, directly barging in.

The meeting was drawing to a close, and when Li Yunqiao saw Secretary Wu holding Zhibin like this, he had a bad feeling, suddenly standing up.

"Vice Mayor Li, sister-in-law just came, said Red Army is surrounded at the train station and she might be about to give birth. She’s headed to the hospital on foot."

Li Yunqiao squinted at Xing Zhibin.

"You go now."

"Alright, you hurry after your wife, I’ll take care of the situation there."

Li Yunqiao said, then calmly left the meeting, though only he knew his legs were weak.

"Vice Mayor Li, need a ride?"

"No need, I’ll bike there myself. You take Zhibin to Hong Lin, then go check on Red Army. I’m heading directly to the hospital."

Xing Zhibin drove, so Secretary Wu joined him to deliver the child.

It took over ten minutes to reach the train station, and they were still stuck in confrontation. No one dared to arrest anyone, as Red Army stood wielding the crank handle.

After the car stopped, Xing Zhibin and Secretary Wu got out.

Seeing the Red Army full of fury, Secretary Wu sighed, thinking, "So young still."

"Red Army, put down the crank handle."

"Uncle Wu."

"Put it down."

Though Red Army’s eyes were red, he still complied and put it down.
