The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 199: Captain Zhang fooled me
Bao'an County, BF Department outside the county.

In the past two days, Zhang Jincai has become a little frightened after the surprise he felt two days ago.

As the captain of this place, in order to seek benefits for his subordinates, he made it convenient for Jiang Cheng to enter and exit here. The main reason was that he was worried that it would be inconvenient for Jiang Cheng to come in next time when he had goods.

So a temporary pass was issued to Jiang Cheng. A few days later, Jiang Cheng showed up with the pass and brought several baskets of eggs by car.

However, this time Jiang Cheng did not drive the car directly into the army, but parked it in a sentry area, and then Jiang Cheng left the defense line.

If Jiang Cheng jumped in casually after getting off the car, he might be stopped. But when he got out of the car and walked outside, no one paid attention.

However, after waiting for a long time, the inspector at the sentry post found that the driver of the car that came in had not returned, so he sent someone to report.

There was a temporary pass in the car, and whoever issued it could be checked. That night, Zhang Jin saw eggs in the car and thought Jiang Cheng had something to do and would come to exchange them the next day.

But now it's the third night and Jiang Cheng hasn't appeared yet. This is really scary.

Zhang Jincai was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Jiang Cheng had smuggled to the other side, and then he would be held responsible.

If it was just one person sneaking across, or ten or a hundred people sneaking across, it wouldn't matter. The key point is that the drivers of Jiangcheng Changcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, no one would have thought that there was such a good job, and people with families and parents would sneak across.

To put it another way, you can sneak across the border, since no one will know you are gone. But Jiangcheng had a Jiefang truck from the Changcheng headquarters parked here.

A car. If the Supply and Marketing Cooperative found out that Jiang Cheng was missing, and the car was missing, and sent someone to search for it, and if they found out that the car was here, Zhang Jincai, the team leader, would definitely not be able to shirk responsibility.

But there was no point in being anxious. Now Zhang Jincai would rather Jiang Cheng had an accident nearby and then find his body, rather than seeing him disappear like this.

As long as Jiang Cheng didn't go to the other side, even if he had a dispute with the locals here and was beaten to death, it would have little to do with them.

~~
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Cheng appeared nearly a mile away from the place where he last left.

There are sea patrols on the Xiangjiang side, but they are all checking people coming from the other side, and they have never thought that someone would "slip" across the Xiangjiang River.

On the Hong Kong side, you can choose any place to go fishing. It's not like in the mainland, where there are barbed wires and various sentries.

By the same token, the people on the mainland only pay attention to whether their people are going that way, and they don't pay attention to the opposite side when patrolling.

So even though we are crossing the sea, coming back from the Hong Kong side is much easier than in the past.

At the coast, Jiang Cheng changed his pants into a clean pair, and immediately took out his clothes and put them on. Then he walked towards the place where he parked last time, thinking about how to explain what he had been doing in the past two days.

As they walked, they arrived at the place where they parked their car last time. After being stopped by the guards, Jiang Cheng explained his purpose.

As expected, he left eggs behind when he left, and the glass on the car door was not closed tightly. In addition, the rocker key was also in the car, so the car was driven to the last unit.

Jiang Cheng was taken to the army, and because it was late at night, he had to report. However, in the parking area here, Jiang Cheng saw his car, and when he went to check the car, no one stopped him. There were only some empty baskets of eggs left in the car, and none of the eggs were left.

"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang."

"Who is it? What's the matter?"

"Captain Zhang, the driver of the car from Changcheng has appeared and is now over there where the cars are parked."

Zhang Jincai, who was sleeping in the army dormitory, was woken up by the call. He was still sleepy and confused at first, but when he heard that it might be Jiang Cheng who came back, his sleepiness was immediately dispelled.

Damn it, he finally showed up. Zhang Jincai was really scared by Jiang Cheng. It would have been fine if the car hadn't driven to his side, but the car came and the person disappeared. Zhang Jincai immediately put on his clothes and went to find Jiang Cheng to ask him what happened in the past two days.

After finding Jiang Cheng at the parking lot, he was immediately taken to the lounge.

"Comrade Jiang, what happened to you? Two days ago, your car drove to the sentry post and you disappeared for two days. I was scared to death because I thought you ran to the other side." Zhang Jincai asked Jiang Cheng almost in an interrogative tone.

"Captain Zhang, it's really my fault this time. I shouldn't have parked the car here. I went to the fishery company in front these two days. You know, the last time I came here, I just wanted to exchange seafood." Jiang Cheng explained.

The last time Jiang Cheng was exploring the road, he saw a fishing boat in one direction on the sea. Just now on the way back to the sentry post, Jiang Cheng thought that if Captain Zhang asked where they were going, he would divert the question.

Even if the eggs in the car were gone, they could still turn around and attack Captain Zhang.

"You went to the fishery company~~." Captain Zhang said in surprise.

He had never thought about this problem, because two days ago, Jiang Che drove a car with eggs. Although the man was gone, he thought that the eggs in the car should be for their troops.

No one would have thought that Jiang Cheng's operation was so bold. He brought the eggs here, and then ran to the fishery company to discuss exchanging things.

This is just like sitting in a KFC in the future, ordering takeout with your mobile phone, and having McDonald's deliver the food to KFC.

"Yes, I'm not familiar with this place, so I parked the car at the sentry post. I went there just to ask that night, but the people there were too enthusiastic. I was kept there for two days. Captain Zhang, where are the eggs in my car?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Eggs~, the eggs are gone. I asked someone to take them to the kitchen. You brought the things to our side, and I thought you wanted to exchange them with us." Captain Zhang said with a guilty conscience but still angrily. Now that the things are here, they are theirs.

"Okay, Captain Zhang, it's my fault. But the eggs are from the farm. Even if I exchange them with you, you have to give me something else." Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng was just looking for an excuse to make up for the past two days he was gone. Next time he came, if he couldn't find a good place to park, he would still have to park here, so he couldn't dwell on the matter of the eggs.

"Do you want the goods now or tomorrow?" Captain Zhang asked.

"For now, I have to leave early tomorrow morning. Captain Zhang, can you give me another temporary pass? This one is only valid for one month, which is a bit inconvenient."

"You'll come here to exchange things next time. Didn't you reach an agreement with the fishery company?"

"We did negotiate, but it's not as cost-effective as the things you picked up here, Captain Zhang."

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, he was telling the truth, there were a lot of good things in the warehouse here. The key is that Captain Zhang and his people don't really understand the value.

Last time, they exchanged things, and it was all in a rough form. If you feel it is not enough, they can add more. They don’t mind if Jiang Cheng takes advantage. Because the things are not theirs anyway, but the eggs they get in exchange are edible.

Hearing that Jiang Cheng would come to their place next time, Captain Zhang no longer felt resentful about his disappearance for two days. He was also glad that Jiang Cheng was not pulled over by the fishery company. As the captain, he had a boiled egg every morning for the past two days, which was delicious.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Jiang Cheng took a pack of cigarettes and said he was keeping it for himself, not exchanging it for eggs. Captain Zhang had no objection and took a lot of silk this time.

Silk is considered a high-end fabric in Hong Kong. It is difficult to handle this fabric in China, but it can be sold for a good price in Hong Kong.

Captain Zhang didn't know how much silk cost, but at least he knew it was better than cotton, so he only let Jiang Cheng take eight pieces. This still made Jiang Cheng get a great bargain, and when he left, he also got a box of tea.

After finishing everything, it was too late, and if he wanted a pass, he would have to wait until tomorrow. Captain Zhang promised to have someone get it for him early tomorrow morning, but next time he should not disappear without a word when the car stops here.
