Zhang Xuejiao carried a bag of wedding candies and gave them to everyone she saw. She grabbed two handfuls for Lin Yutong and said, "Go back and coax your grandson."

Lin Yutong happily took it. Now that there are younger children at home, even the scorching sun is no longer squeamish. If there is something delicious, I will hold on to the younger one first.

When there was no one in the office, Zhang Xuejiao whispered: "There are some things that I can't tell Lao Luo. But I want to mention it to you privately. My Dongsheng boy is quite smart. He is young and educated.

, I put it in the technical department, mainly because I want to learn something."

Lin Yutong laughed: "Okay, tell him to go to Chaoyang. Team up with Chaoyang."

Zhang Xuejiao's eyes were full of smiles: "I'm willing to deal with you anyway. No matter what, I just have to be open-minded in doing things." After saying that, she whispered: "When winter comes, my old colleague will start to smoke bacon.

When the time comes, I will try to get more and send them to you."

Lin Yutong's heart moved: "Is your relationship there strong?"

Zhang Xuejiao nodded: "Want to order more?"

"Is that so?" Lin Yutong counted on his fingers, "I also have my mother-in-law here. After all, our two brothers and a sister are indispensable. Not to mention a few rabbits and chickens, I can eat even a few pigs.

Tell me, what is the use of this money in my hand? If it can be exchanged for food, I will exchange it for anything. There are also fungus, mushrooms, hazelnuts, chestnuts, no matter what kind of mountain product, as long as you don’t need food stamps, it can be more expensive.”

Zhang Xuejiao only hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Sure! This matter is all on me."

When he went back in the evening, Lin Yutong told the Fourth Master, who drew an arrow on the paper with Zhang Xuejiao's name and added a few words: Forest farm?

Nowadays, there is a shortage of meat everywhere, and the same is true in the Northeast. It’s not like Fourth Master and Lin Yutong have never stayed in the Northeast. The only people who can get bacon there are in forest farms or related occupations.

For example, the leader of a forestry farm.

But where exactly it is, it’s hard to say.

Another thing to pay attention to is Zhang Xuejiao's package. So far, the only person who is known to have a close relationship is the person who sent bacon to Zhang Xuejiao. What kind of close relationship is it? In the past six months, it seems that they have sent meat several times.

.

So, two eyes were always staring at Zhang Xuejiao and Li Zhaoshan, and one eye was staring at the bacon that was not sure when it would be delivered.

During this time, Fourth Master was still looking at the factory phone and the post office.

Zhang Xuejiao did not use the factory phone, but went to the post office twice. She originally wanted to try to open the post office's mailbox secretly to see the letter Zhang Xuejiao had sent inside, but Zhang Xuejiao's time to send the letter was just right, and it took ten seconds to put the letter in.

In minutes, a postal truck would arrive. In these ten minutes, she either sat on the roadside to rest, or spent money to buy roasted sweet potatoes on the roadside to eat. In short, the mailbox never left her sight.

As a result, Lin Yutong didn't know whether her letter was really sent to the Northeast. It was probably sent to someone locally or somewhere else, and then that person passed it on to someone else.

Is this possible?

There must be some.

After Zhang Xuejiao left, Lin Yutong came out of the department store toilet. She was on the second floor of the department store just now. The window glass of the toilet was broken, and she used a cardboard box to block the glass. There was a gap in the cardboard box, and you could see through the gap.

, not easy to be discovered. Besides, she didn’t stare hard at Zhang Xuejiao. She was staring at the mailbox and looking at people out of the corner of her eye.

Holding two kilograms of wool in her hand, she looked across the road. She was about to look away, but her eyes froze.

Because there was a person standing in front of the mailbox, wearing a mask and covering it tightly. But if he took a quick look, he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman. Nowadays, men and women all wear the same clothes.

The man first rummaged around with the cloth bag in his hand, and then it seemed as if a hole was cut in the cloth bag. People passing by looked at it for a few times and then walked around. There was a hole in the cloth bag, maybe it was something.

Drop it.

Then the man bent over and squatted on the ground to pick it up, as if a few cents had rolled under the mailbox, and reached out to pick it up.

Lin Yutong watched from across the road, and then his heart suddenly moved: Zhang Xuejiao's letter was simply a deceit. The letter was fake, but it was true that the letter was hidden under the mailbox.

This person is very important. Either you have to keep an eye on this person or you have to take him down. It would be a really bad thing if you lose the hook.

She also put on the mask and crossed the street. The man had already stood up and was rubbing the coins stained with dirt on his clothes as he walked.

Lin Yutong took the scale from the sweet potato seller and weighed the wool in his hand. When the man passed by, he put the wool away and followed him from a distance.

This man didn't go far and was waiting at the roadside, where there was a sign for the No. 5 bus stop.

Lin Yutong followed him, staring at him from the corner of her eye. Seeing that his eyes were always looking at the opposite side, her heart moved, and she walked towards the opposite side first, and got under the bus stop sign opposite. She stood opposite, and after getting on the bus,

Convenience is different. Sure enough, the car here came far away, and the person waiting there trotted across the road and stood behind Lin Yutong on the left.

Sure enough, you are careful enough. If you keep an eye on him, press behind him and wait with him. When the car here comes, and he runs over to get in the car neatly, then do you want to follow or not? Just follow him, you will definitely be discovered.

Well, don't follow me. Once you lose track of me, it won't be easy to follow you again.

There were not many people on the bus at this time. There were seats as soon as you got on. Lin Yutong got on first, and she directly chose a seat near the back door. But after this person got on the bus, he sat near the front door.

Along the way, when there were many people getting on and off the car, there were three or five people standing in the carriage. Lin Yutong leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep. When there were few people getting on and many people getting off, Lin Yutong just

Stand up, hold on to the railing at the back door, and prepare to get out of the car.

Another stop was approaching, and the man's sitting posture slightly adjusted. He seemed not to move, but in fact his toes had turned slightly outward.

Lin Yutong concluded that he would definitely stop at this stop.

Because the area near this station is a shanty town, and the residents there live in a very mixed manner. Going further, you will reach the suburbs of the city. There are fewer people on the bus and fewer people getting off the bus. It is too easy.

He was remembered. His toes pointed slightly outward, which meant he was ready to get off the car.

As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, Lin Yutong got out of the car first. She didn't look back. She got out of the car and turned towards a road on the side. The driver's rude scolding could be heard from behind: "Good morning."

If you don’t get off the car, you have to get off when the door closes." He cursed again in a low voice.

No need to ask, this person must have squeezed out of the car at the last second when it was about to start.

It is inertial and cannot leave a tail behind it.

There were quite a lot of people in this area, coming in and out. Lin Yutong 'inadvertently' rubbed against the bicycle, causing the wool in his hand to fall off and fall to the ground. The young man on the bicycle said: "Sister! You should keep an eye on it."

Road!"

The two squatted down and hurriedly picked up wool. The man passed by naturally and walked forward.

When they were far away, Lin Yutong followed him with the woolen yarn, and saw the man entering the toilet from a distance... There were a lot of people in the public toilets here, and people kept coming in and out. Lin Yutong stood in the distance and patted the dirt on the woolen yarn.

, waited, until she saw a man wearing a white patched tunic suit and red armbands on his sleeves walking out with a broom and a spoon in his hand, she finally realized something.

That's right, it's the middle-aged man who cleans the toilet.

He was dressed neatly before. He probably had his workshop next to the toilet, where he kept some tools. He was dressed decently when he went out, and he only wore dirty clothes when he came back to change and work. This would not look like in the eyes of the people around him.

I find it strange. But if someone is following me, with this casual attire, it will be easy for people to not tell who is who.

After seeing the person clearly and knowing his identity and workplace, Lin Yutong went home.

After going around and around, we have gone a long way. When we got home, it was already dark.

At the door of the family area, Zhang Xuejiao was talking to a group of old women, laughing and joking. When she saw Lin Yutong coming back, she asked with a smile: "Are you going to the city too? If I knew you were going to the city, I would wait for you.

, we still have a companion."

Lin Yutong handed over the wool in his hand and asked her to look at it: "I want to knit a sweater for Jiaoyang, but now I can't even match the wool of the same color. It will take me a whole day to run..."

"Little girl, the variegated ones look good when crocheted into patterns. Don't worry about the color, just buy it and I will knit it for you." She was very enthusiastic.

OK, OK, OK!

Lin Yutong responded, said hello to the attacker, and then went home.

Everyone in the family except Jiao Yang knew about this incident. After Jiao Yang went to bed, Danyang and Chaoyang went to the study and listened. Mom came back so late, so something must have delayed her.

Lin Yutong didn't care about them, and only told the fourth master what happened today: "... It's no longer enough for us to handle this matter alone. We are short of manpower!"

Chaoyang rolled up his sleeves: "No shortage! No shortage! Mom, me! Me! I can do it!"

Danyang pulled him: "You should go quickly. Can you know that what people are waiting for is the bus over there? Can you know which station they are at after getting on the bus? It sounds easy, but it is done.

It’s not that easy.”

How come my mother has more special duties than the old ones?

The Fourth Master looked at Chaoyang and said, "You are running errands to find your Uncle Miao and Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Ji. I just said that I got a bottle of good wine today and invited them to come over."

Danyang ran to keep Chaoyang company.

Lin Yutong took advantage of the situation and went to the kitchen. It was winter and there were no good dishes. Sesame spinach counted as one, garlic sprouts fried bacon counted as one, stir-fried mung bean sprouts counted as one, fried peanuts, and a pot of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.

Son, when everyone is here, the dishes are ready.

The kerosene stove was lit and placed on the dining table. In the small pot above, pork and cabbage vermicelli were boiling. I was not afraid of not eating enough. It was like eating hot pot. Just eat all the cabbage vermicelli.

All staple food was saved.

I only poured two ounces of wine into the jug. We are talking about business tonight, so we can't drink more.

Danyang and Chaoyang ran into the yard, turned on the street lights, and said they were tending Danyang's mushroom shed, but in fact they were standing guard outside.

While eating inside, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master roughly told the whole story.

Lin Yutong added another half of cabbage to the pot and asked it to cook slowly, then said: "Until today, I dare to say that Zhang Xuejiao does have some problems..."

As for several other people, they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

When they came back to their senses, they all looked at each other.

Zhao Ping first said to Lin Yutong: "You are fooling around. Do you know what the consequences will be if people find out?"

Lin Yutong laughed: "Don't worry about my strength. Although I am not young now, I can still deal with these idle people."
