My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 38 Daya and Erya were bullied, and Dad stepped in
"I'm going, what's going on?"

Because Li Feng had to watch the ox cart, he couldn't help sell shirts, skirts and other items. He could only wait at the intersection. But less than half an hour later, he saw Gao Ju, Li Muchen, Wu Tong and Qin Yue running towards him.

"Quick, hurry up."

"what happened?"

Li Feng hurried out with the oxcart, and several people climbed onto the oxcart, panting and saying, "Don't worry about it for now, run."

"Why are you running? What's going on?"

Li Feng drove the ox cart quickly into the bend on the side. "My goodness, you are all panting so hard. Are you being chased by stray dogs?"

"what's the situation?"

After running for about two miles, the ox cart finally stopped.

"We are selling shirts and skirts in front of the textile factory," said Gao Jue.

"Yeah, how come selling shirts leads to being chased by people?" Li Feng's head was full of question marks.

"We were selling well, but then an old lady came over and asked us what we were doing," Wu Tong said. "We said we were selling clothes, but a moment later the old lady showed up with two police officers and accused us of profiteering."

"public security?"

Li Feng shuddered with fear. "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to be careful?"

"Ugh."

Gao glanced at Li Muchen, Wu Tong and Qin Yue. These three were handsome, beautiful and very eye-catching, especially the young man. Who wouldn't want to take a second look at the girls and wives in the textile factory? It was like a small meeting.

"Boss Li, this is my problem."

Li Muchen didn't expect that being handsome was also a mistake. Moreover, the old lady was too powerful. The four of them were so scared by her shout that they ran away. Fortunately, they ran fast.

"How much did you sell?"

“Basic clothes and stockings are all sold out.”

Gao couldn't help but envy Li Muchen's face when he said this.

"That is not bad."

"Don't go to the county later."

Li Feng said, "You guys rest here. I'll go pick up Gao Cheng and exchange some food."

"Then boss, be careful."

Gao Jue said with a bitter face, "I was so scared just now. I almost shot the police officer when I saw him."

"shot?"

Li Feng was shocked. No wonder the four of them looked so pale just now. The crackdown on speculation is so severe now. "I know. I will be more careful."

"You guys take a good rest."

Li Feng took the money from Gao Jue. It was quite a lot, two or three hundred yuan. The female workers at the textile factory were really rich.

Li Feng asked the four people to hide for a while, and he drove the ox cart back to the county.

"boss."

Gao Cheng trotted off. "What's going on? Why is he gone?"

"Did you just go to the textile factory?"

"Ah."

Gao Cheng said, "I didn't see you at the entrance of the alley. I thought you went to pick them up."

"What happened?"

"We'll talk later. Go to the alley and see if there's anyone there."

Li Feng said, "Pretend to have taken the wrong road."

"it is good."

Gao Cheng walked around and came back to the alley and whispered, "Boss, there's no one inside."

"no one?"

Oh my god, this group of people might have run away too. The old lady is so powerful, this is a bit difficult to deal with. "Hey, comrade, wait a minute."

Wu Gang wondered who it was, and he looked familiar. "Andy Lau at the intersection?"

"Comrade, you still remember me. I just happened to want to talk to you about something."

Li Feng thought it was a coincidence, but it was not. Wu Gang came here to circulate information. Aunt Jiang from the street office and the patrol passed by. They scared Wu Gang and his group so much that they quickly packed up their things and hid them in the yard. They were even reported by someone at that time.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you have any cornmeal left?"

"Want to buy cornmeal?"

Wu Gang hesitated and looked around. "How much?"

"Three hundred kilograms."

"How many?"

"Three hundred kilograms."

Wu Gang swallowed his saliva. What a guy! They would go to the countryside to collect cornmeal and other surplus grains from farmers when they had nothing to do. They could only collect 200 to 300 kilograms in half a month, but Li Feng asked for 300 kilograms.

"What's the problem?"

Seeing Wu Gang's expression change, Li Feng thought that Wu Gang had no goods.

"Okay, you wait."

Soon Wu Gang brought two young men over. "You want 300 kilograms of corn flour?"

"Ah."

"Do you know the price?"

"of course."

Li Feng thought to himself, what the hell? The prices on the black market are generally high, usually two to five times that of the supply and marketing cooperatives. Among them, rice and white flour are more expensive, while corn flour is cheaper.

"Okay, come with us."

The three of them led the way, and Li Feng and Gao Cheng followed in an ox cart. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at a dilapidated yard.

"Boss, is everything okay?"

"Calm down." Li Feng thought to himself that Gao Cheng was much worse than his brother.

"Want a bag?"

Wu Gang and his companions carried out three bags of corn flour, weighing 300 kilograms.

"want."

"One dollar per bag."

Wow, it’s really dark, Li Feng nodded.

Corn flour costs 35 cents per pound, which is more than three times more expensive than the supply. But there is no other way. Li Feng has no food coupons and no food certificate from the city, so he can only buy it on the black market.

He counted out eleven pieces of the Great Unity and handed them to Wu Gang, who counted them and nodded. "How about a rabbit or a pheasant?"

"Two please."

One hundred and ten yuan, half of which was used to buy shirts and skirts. There was no other way. If they didn't buy food, they would really starve. So they packed up.

Li Feng and Gao Cheng drove the ox cart back to where Li Muchen and the other three were waiting.

"Boss, you're back."

Gao Jue looked much better, and the other three seemed a little excited, especially Wu Tong and Qin Yue, who were chattering about something.

“It’s so exciting.”

"This is the first time I've been chased by the police."

My goodness, you are really bold. Speculation and profiteering are no joke. If you get caught, at the very least you will go to a training class. Based on the transaction volume of Li Feng and his team, it will basically take three to five years to get out. If the situation gets stricter, you may even lose your life.

"Come up, everyone."

Li Feng said, "We have to go back quickly. We wanted to have something to eat, but we shouldn't take any risks now. We might get caught in the county and it would be troublesome."

The group climbed onto the ox cart and leaned against the corncob, continuing all the way without stopping until they returned to Hanjiaba around five o'clock.

"Abba."

Everyone was a little tired, and Li Feng was also a little listless. This guy had been driving the ox cart back and forth for more than ten hours, which was more tiring than driving a car for ten hours.

"Get the cornmeal down first and take a rest."

Three hundred kilograms of corn flour is enough for the family to eat for a while. After everything was ready, Li Feng asked Daya to steam some steamed buns for a simple meal. He really didn't have the energy to stew a rabbit or a chicken.

"what?"

Li Feng hadn't noticed it at first, but only noticed it after taking a break. "Daya, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Cried?"

"No."

Daya shook her little head, something was wrong.

This girl must have been crying. What happened? Li Feng glanced at Erya, and the little girl's eyes were a little evasive. "Are you really okay?"

"fine."

The more Daya said this, the more Li Feng felt that something was wrong. "I'm glad you're okay."

I'll find some time to ask Erya what's going on.

"Erya, what happened to my sister?"

Li Feng asked Erya with a smile. Erya didn't dare to look at Li Feng. "I don't know."

"Erya, children who tell lies are not liked by others."

Li Feng said, "Dad hates children who lie and don't tell the truth the most."

"Abba."

Erya's mouth pouted and tears were about to fall.

"Be good, don't cry, tell Dad what happened?"

Li Feng took out some candy and gave it to Erya. Erya reached out to take the candy, but she hesitated when she thought of what her sister said.

"Daya won't let you say it?"

Li Feng took a look and realized that this was Daya's instructions. What was going on?

"Sister won't let me tell Dad."

Li Feng felt better after hearing what Erya said.

"Er Ya, do you listen to Dad or Sister?"

Li Feng touched the little girl's sparse hair.

"I listen to my father and my sister."

Well, it took Li Feng a while to figure out what was going on. It turned out that it was the White Rabbit that caused the trouble.

"Minggui stole you and Daya's white rabbit, not only did he push Daya down, but he also called you wild children without parents?"

This is too much. Whose naughty kid is this?

This is just a sign of irritation, but Li Feng won't let him down. "Where is Minggui's home?"

"I thought I was easy to bully."

"High achievement, high success."

Li Feng shouted.

"Boss, what's up?"

The two brothers came running over.

"Someone is bullying Daya and Erya. Let's go and see whose family that little bastard belongs to."

"What? Bullying Da Ya and Er Ya, you don't want to live anymore." Gao Cheng slapped his thigh.

"Da Ya and Er Ya are such good kids, but they are bullied. This brat is not a good thing. Boss, how do you tell us how to teach him a lesson?" Gao agreed. It must be said that the two brothers really like these two sensible little girls.

"Erya, take dad to Minggui's house."

Li Feng shouted, and Daya's anger subsided. She ran out to stop Li Feng. "Dad."

"It's okay. You bully my daughter and think I have no temper. Be good and listen to me. Wait for daddy to vent his anger on you."
