NOVEL NEXT Chapter 292: 292 Luck
Su Yuanyuan looked at the old man, noticing his serious expression, so she nodded and ran off.
As she ran, she couldn't help but vent internally; she really was lucky. She had already seen the words above, and although she didn't understand their meaning, they surely had some significance, right?
She ran to the police station and directly reported the discovery at the waste station, which led to four officers heading over together.
Contemplating for a moment, Su Yuanyuan decided to go with them after all. After all, she was the one who discovered it; who knows if they'll have questions?
She was right; Su Yuanyuan was asked many questions, to which she answered truthfully.
Finally, she didn't dare to take the things she had picked out.
"Little girl, if these things turn out to be fine, I'll keep them for you. You can come back next year to collect them."
Su Yuanyuan nodded as she thought about it. To encounter something like this, well, what's the point in thinking about the future?
She walked along the street to the recently raided house, noting the wide-open gate, but she knew it was empty inside, everything in disarray, nothing left.
However, Su Yuanyuan knew that underground there were quite a few treasures buried, including grenades, guns, bullets, many goldfish, and gold and silver jewelry.
Goodness, in such a small city, there was actually someone hiding such things, but these goldfish must have been buried for many years. And they weren't in just one place.
She merely passed by here without stopping because she noticed many people covertly watching the place.
Su Yuanyuan frowned; this weaponry must be somehow made known to the police station. Otherwise, it was too dangerous.
But what should she do? Now Su Yuanyuan was troubled.
Frowning, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some matches and candles.
These things absolutely couldn't stay buried underground. She returned to the hotel, wrote a note with a brush using her left hand, and then slipped out again.
She placed the note directly on the desk of the police station's gatekeeper.
She hurried away and headed to the building.
The person on duty, putting down the newspaper, discovered a crumpled paper on the desk.
Opening it out of curiosity, he was terrified and immediately ran inside to find the leader.
In the building, Su Yuanyuan bought some snacks, which would be needed on the truck.
She also bought two bolts of cloth. These items were consumables; if they could be bought, she certainly would.
Upon returning to the hotel, she saw the courtyard gate from earlier had been latched, and the digging had already begun inside.
She had mentioned the approximate location of both spots, feeling more at ease having done so.
Back at the hotel, she realized it was past lunchtime. Only then did she go out to eat. At this time, the restaurant didn't have much left, but she managed to eat a cornbread and a bowl of vegetable soup.
After eating, she suppressed her curiosity and returned to the hotel.
In the afternoon, she obediently lay on the bed reading.
The next day, she went to the fertilizer factory to wait. Not until 3 in the afternoon was the loading complete.
This time, Zhou Yongbing was driving. As they were acquaintances, Su Yuanyuan rode in his vehicle.
"Xiao Su, there was a situation in the city yesterday. Explosives were unearthed from the house of someone surnamed Jiang."
"What? Explosives?"
"Exactly! Plus bullets, guns, grenades.
That scoundrel, he's up to no good. I heard the explosives from his house could flatten the city."
Su Yuanyuan was taken aback. "Is that person still in the city?"
"No, they were taken by the provincial authorities."
"A lot of goldfish were also dug out from his place. All these are the people's wealth."
Listening to Zhou Yongbing's words, Su Yuanyuan almost laughed. The people's wealth? Whether or not it was that villain who exploited it, it was certainly the blood and sweat of the ordinary people from long ago.
The two chatted, with Zhou Yongbing recounting all the evil deeds done by that villain.
This gave them topics to discuss along the journey.
"Last year you encountered snow too, and it seems this year you will as well."
"Yes, let's hope the truck is empty; otherwise, it's even more dangerous.
We can arrive tonight, hoping it snows only after we return."
"That would be best. With cargo, it takes two days and nights; an empty truck should be a bit faster, right?"
"Yes, we can be several hours quicker."
It's already the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. This time, Su Yuanyuan could actually spend the New Year at home.
In the latter part of the night, the two trucks entered the farm, once again directly arriving at Li Hongxiang's house. After all, going to his place was the most convenient.
Li Hongxiang arranged rest for the two drivers, while Su Yuanyuan took Li Liyun to the Zhao Family.
Zhao Yanli had already gotten up upon hearing the noise. Seeing Su Yuanyuan back, she hurried to make her some food.
"No need to rush. I'm not hungry; I just want to sleep," Su Yuanyuan said, pulling back the bustling Zhao Yanli.
The next morning, the Zhao sisters made potatoes, dried eggplant stewed with meat, and also steamed cornbread.
The Li Family trio didn't come over for breakfast; Zhou Yongbing, cheerily greeting the Zhao sisters, expressed that they were already quite familiar.
Before coming for breakfast, Zhou Yongbing and the others had already started the vehicles. So after eating, they headed over to unload the trucks. The ten tons of fertilizer were left with the Li Family.
After unloading, Su Yuanyuan couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly went home.
Entering the space to bathe and change clothes, by the time she arrived at the Li Family, everyone had been waiting for her for quite a while.
Everyone knew Su Yuanyuan had a penchant for cleanliness, so no one asked.
She brought the two vehicles directly to the headquarters.
Seeing a truckful of fertilizer, Feng Baoshan was really excited.
He only found out the next day when he came to find Su Yuanyuan that she had gone to get fertilizer. He hoped she could bring some back. Unexpectedly, she actually returned with a whole truckload, which was much better than nothing, and this year's fertilizer would be used directly for the cotton. With both fertilizer and pesticide, they would see how great a yield they could achieve this year.
"Xiao Su, you did well. Thank you so much."
"It was Mr. Zhou who helped. I didn't do much."
"Thanks are due to everyone."
Accountant Zhang still went to find people to unload the truck; with many hands, even ten tons took little time.
Having seen off Zhou Yongbing, Su Yuanyuan then went inside to settle accounts with Accountant Zhang. From the last transaction, the cost of a truckload of herbicides, two truck fees, plastic sheeting, and sprayer costs were tallied, along with the train ticket money for her journey, and finally, Feng Baoshan signed twice for meals totaling fifty yuan for each trip.
This was indeed a precedent, but Feng Baoshan was ready to take the risk.
This time, the payment for one truck of fertilizer along with freight charges and train ticket fees was all settled together for Su Yuanyuan.
Outside, it was gloomy, but many faces bore smiles. Last year, the cotton crop failed due to pests; now, with pesticides available, everyone was hoping for a bumper cotton harvest next year.
"Xiao Su, it's just that there are too few sprayers."
"Director Feng, that's because the price is too high. I couldn't decide, so only this many were brought. They can be rotated among households when needed."
