Chapter 623 Shi Mengyi Comes to Flirt
Now the villagers have gotten used to the jeeps and aren't as surprised as they were at first.
After all, Tuwazi drives back every few days.
There's still one parked there.
But then another car suddenly came along, and everyone looked over at it.
A man in his thirties, tall and imposing, wearing a Western-style uniform, came down from above. He was tall and looked like a soldier.
He jogged around the front of the car, reached the other side, and opened the car door.
A woman wearing a military overcoat got out of the car.
She had shoulder-length short hair, wore a uniform with a visor underneath, and had a badge on her left chest.
After getting off the bus, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses; his demeanor was clearly extraordinary.
She's even more arrogant than the female bureau chief, Mei Ping.
She looked up at the building in front of her:
"So this is Jiapigou Brigade? Ugh, it's so dilapidated!"
The male driver standing next to her was her husband, Liang Chunlin, who quickly put on a smiling face.
"Yes, yes, it's the countryside, the natural conditions are much worse."
He then asked the person next to him:
"Is your team leader, Lu Yao, here? Have him come out and greet the leader!"
This woman is Shi Mengyi, the head of the working group from the Education, Culture and Health Bureau.
Hearing Liang Chunlin say this, he couldn't help but frown:
"Stop acting all high and mighty. I'm just here in the countryside for a visit, don't put on airs!"
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Liang Chunlin's servile attitude was not like that of a husband at all, but rather like that of a spineless eunuch.
Shi Mengyi shrugged her shoulders, and he quickly caught her coat from behind, draped it over his arm, and followed behind her.
Shi Mengyi walked slowly in through the main entrance.
He saw the yard full of antelope and deer hides, which the commune members were processing, and no one paid him any attention.
She glanced around and saw Lu Yao standing in front of the door, looking in their direction, and immediately smiled.
Lu Yao had already seen her and wondered what she was doing here.
At that time, Shi Shouyin was a military officer with soldiers under his command and power, which posed a certain danger to him.
However, Shi Mengyi was an office worker, so she only brought a driver with her.
Although he was a member of the historian's family, there was no danger to him.
I don't know why she came to Jiapigou.
So seeing that she wasn't moving, I didn't want to have too much contact with her.
However, Shi Mengyi smiled when she saw him:
"Comrade Lu, you're here! Are all these game hunted in your village?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Team Leader Shi, what brings you here? What brings you here?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to come and see you. I was on my way back from a work exchange in a county in the east, so I stopped by to drop by. You're my brother's friend, so you're my friend too."
"..."
Lu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The outside world all thought that he and Shi Shouyin were friends.
That's right, Shi Shouyin died the day they turned against each other.
Only Shi Shouyin himself knew the exact nature of the relationship between the two.
At this moment, Shi Mengyi regarded him as her brother's old friend, so what else could she say?
Lu Yao didn't know Shi Mengyi's purpose in coming to Jiangzhou, but in his opinion, it was definitely not as simple as a job transfer.
So I don't want to have much contact with her, nor do I want to get involved.
But Shi Mengyi was very generous and came over to shake hands with Lu Yao:
"Comrade Lu, are you selling these hides?"
"Yes, this is collective property."
"That's a considerable sum of money!"
Shi Mengyi walked around the yard looking at the hides, then looked at the winery, praising Lu Yao's competence repeatedly.
They even offered to visit the agricultural greenhouses.
When she arrived, she went to the Lu family first, and had already chatted with Jiang Guizhi and Lu Xiaoqian for half a day, gaining a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Jiapigou.
He thought Lu Yao hadn't returned from hunting and was about to leave when he saw Zuo Xiaoying running home, saying she had returned from hunting. That's why he came to find Lu Yao.
Although Lu Yao didn't want to get too close to the Shi family, since Shi Mengyi had brought it up, he didn't refuse and took Shi Mengyi to the back of the village.
They didn't drive; they walked side by side.
Liang Chunlin followed five steps behind the two, still carrying Shi Mengyi's coat.
On the way, Shi Mengyi kept talking to Lu Yao about her brother Shi Shouyin's affairs in Jiangzhou.
Lu Yao told her what he knew, and didn't make things up if he didn't know.
This woman seems to have a rigorous and logical way of thinking, unlike Shi Shouyin who speaks haphazardly and carelessly.
She said everything as if it had a purpose.
Lu Yao was too wary of her, and the two didn't talk about anything substantial.
But after leaving the village, Shi Mengyi suddenly asked:
"Comrade Lu, if you take all your animal hides to the supply and marketing cooperative, you won't get a good price. I know a village in Liaochun that offers pretty good prices for animal hides..."
Lu Yao laughed upon hearing this:
"That won't do. That's speculation and profiteering, a crime. We sell all our animal hides to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Lu Yao actually just wanted to speculate and make more money.
But this matter couldn't be told to everyone in the village. Shi Mengyi suddenly made the suggestion, and not knowing her level of understanding, we naturally wouldn't go along with her.
Shi Mengyi also smiled:
"Comrade Xiao Lu, since you can be friends with my brother, you're not someone who's bound by rigid rules. I'm not suggesting you engage in speculation; I'm just having a casual chat with you. Less than a hundred li south of Liaochun, there's a Panlong Mountain, where there are many Korean villages. Crossing the mountain and the river leads to the border, so there are people there who buy goods and resell them."
Shi Mengyi also smiled:
"Comrade Xiao Lu, since you can be friends with my brother, you're not someone who's bound by rigid rules. I'm not suggesting you engage in speculation; I'm just having a casual chat with you. Less than a hundred li south of Liaochun, there's a Panlong Mountain, where there are many Korean villages. Crossing the mountain and the river leads to the border, so there are people there who buy goods and resell them."
After that, the conversation shifted to something else.
Lu Yao knew that the black market people Zhao Balai contacted were also transferring goods to Panlong Mountain in Liaochun.
I never expected that Shi Mengyi would remind herself of this.
What seemed like a casual chat was actually a ploy to get him to do shady deals.
Why would she be so kind as to let me make more money, or does she have some other purpose in trying to find something to use against me?
Lu Yao did not respond.
I just smiled and moved on to talking about other things with her.
After visiting the greenhouse, Shi Mengyi was about to leave.
Lu Yao accompanied her back to the front of the brigade headquarters.
Watching her car drive away, Lu Yao summarized what she had said: she was simply trying to get closer to him.
The specific purpose is unclear.
Shi Shouyin initially tried to win him over by wanting him to protect him, but later this pervert fell in love with him.
Therefore, any excessive protection he showed towards Lu Yao was purposeful.
Shi Mengyi has a husband by her side, so naturally she doesn't like her.
It's unlikely that she would try to curry favor with him simply because her brother is on good terms with her.
Such meticulous people do everything with a purpose.
However, Lu Yao didn't think too much about it and went back to processing the animal hides.
They planned to take out a few deer and antelope hides and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative to cover their tracks.
Even the villagers can't all know.
It's enough that only a few close friends and family members know about it.
Lu Yao was to be the first to take over the sales in Liaochun.
Especially bear bile, bear paws, bear skin, and leopard skin; if sold in Liaoning, the price can be several times higher.
Lu Yao desperately needed money, so he had to take a risk.
Even if it were true, Mei Ping could always help him resolve the issue.
Having an umbrella overhead makes things easier.
Lu Yao stayed at home for a while, had lunch, and then set off.
They left three sheepskins and three deerskins for Cao Erdan to take to the supply and marketing cooperative and sell to Director Liu.
This was also to deal with inquiries from above.
The remaining deerskin, sheepskin, and hides from the bear and leopard, along with a sack of snakes, were all stuffed into the jeep. Lu Yao was going to take the risk and go to Liaochun.
