While back at home, the food is ready.

Grandma Yu was very worried when she saw her coming back so late. She’s been waiting at home, and she doesn’t feel relieved when she saw her come back, “Why did you come back so late?”

“I went to the black market to buy something.” Xu Nannan took out the smoked rabbit meat that she had just bought from Taobao.

She was not going to talk to the two elders about the matter just now. Dong Wu has been abandoned, so there is no need to come back to find someone to settle the account. When the time comes, it will cause a commotion instead. And she didn’t want the two elders to worry about her anymore. She didn’t plan to say anything about this.

Not only does she not plan to say, but she also produced a proof of alibi.

“Grandma, I will give some for Director Qiu’s house. Li Jinhua came to the house to make trouble before, I want to thank him for his kind words.”

Director Qiu is the Workshop Director of the Factory, and now the house where Grandpa Yu used to live is now assigned to them.

Grandma Yu couldn’t bear it.

She and Lao Yu are old, and the two children will have to be helped by others. It is always good to have a good relationship. So she cut a rabbit leg and asked Xu Nannan to send it by herself. She’s also a familiar face.

Xu Nannan immediately wrapped it in paper and sent it to Director Qiu’s house.

It was Director Qiu’s wife who opened the door. She was quite surprised to see Xu Nannan coming. When Xu Nannan took out the rabbit legs, Director Qiu’s wife instantly smiled.

“It’s so embarrassing, you’re such a good thing.”

“We are all neighbors in the neighborhood. Thanks to Director Qiu for helping to speak that day, otherwise we, old and young, would be bullied. This is also a coincidence. I just went to the black market and wanted to buy some fine food to help my grandma. It happened by chance. If it were normal, there wouldn’t be such a good opportunity.”

Director Qiu’s wife waved her hand, “No, I didn’t buy it the last time I wanted to buy some eggs. Next time you go to the black market, let’s go together. The kids at home will also have fine food. I haven’t bought in a while.”

“Okay, I’ll call Auntie to go with me next time.” Xu Nannan said with a smile, before looking at the sky again. “It’s too late already, I won’t bother Auntie now, and go home immediately.” She said while she was leaving.

“Hey, wait, how can you go back empty-handed?” Director Qiu’s wife hurriedly stopped her, and quickly ran the house to get some sour pears in a net bag. “They came from my hometown, I know it is not worth the rabbit legs you give us, It’s still the heart of Auntie. Take it back and boil it with water to drink.”

Xu Nannan did not refuse, and took it with gratitude, “Thank you Auntie for this.”

“You’re welcome, come back if you want to eat it, these are from the mountains in my hometown.” Compared to a rabbit leg, this bit of wild fruit is nothing.

When Xu Nannan left, Director Qiu’s wife went into the room and hung up the rabbit legs. The children were all looking at them, wishing to take a bite now.

“Wait for a few days before eating.” Director Qiu’s wife said.

She looked at Director Qiu who was eating again, “I don’t think it will be a loss if we recognizes his granddaughter here. Look at the filial piety of that child, and she went to the black market to buy fine food for them. No one’s granddaughter is so filial like that child. “

Director Qiu said, “Their family is all good, how could Li Jinhua even be mean at their family?”

“This is how people are good at being deceived. This Li Jinhua, who is stingy, will have retribution sooner or later. Her daughters-in-law before that time is all good, and they died after being tortured by them. The widows in the factory are not willing to marry them anymore. Now he wants to stare at such a young and beautiful girl. It’s like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.”

“Okay, let’s just leave this thing alone, we can’t do anything about it.” That kind of thing can only wait for God to collect it.

When Xu Nannan returned home, the family was already starting to eat.

Grandma Yu cut the rabbit meat and steamed it.

Xiaoman was eating with her mouth full of oil.

In the evening Xu Nannan was thinking about the night’s affairs. She was still a little frightened, and couldn’t sleep peacefully. She doesn’t know how the situation will develop in the future. Dong Wu was not discovered. What will happen after they find out?

After thinking about it for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more headache she got, so she started counting sheep.

You must sleep. The more you need to sleep and the better your spirit, the safer you will be.

Tossing herself around in the middle of the night, she finally fell asleep deeply.

Earlier the next morning, Xu Nannan got up and put on a facial mask. She put it on her eyes and when she found herself looking at the refreshed and vigorous look in the mirror, she was finally relieved.

she and Xiaoman ate two wowotou and one egg while walking on the road.

As she passed the grove, she quickened her pace and walked over without even looking at it.

When it was time for working in the Mine, Xu Nannan found a sense of security. She greeted Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei asked her about the voting, “Yesterday Director Xu’s wife also came to me, and I have already agreed. I didn’t look at her face, but looked at Director Xu’s face. After all, we have known each other for so many years.” Frankly speaking, his relationship with Xu Jiansheng has been pretty good these years. Except for Xu Jiansheng being a little confused in his treatment of his daughters, there is nothing else that can be wrong.

However, his relationship with Xu Nannan is also good, and he doesn’t want to be separated from his children because of this. He wants to make it clear in advance.

Xu Nannan recognized his concerns from Uncle Wei’s face, and smiled, “Uncle Wei, voting is free, this is nothing. Recently there have been many people looking for me, and I’m still thinking about who I should vote for.”

Seeing that Xu Nannan didn’t seem to be unhappy, Wei Guobing laughed, “If you are someone who wants to vote, I can talk to you personally. There is the old Liu from the mine, they are a large family still squeezed in a single room. Yes. The couple are both veterans. There are a few children in the family. The older one has grown up and the younger one is still in elementary school. Although the family have had a hard time, they are quite harmonious.”

“Okay, when I turn around, I will ask around for more, and if nothing else is suitable, I will vote for this Old Liu.”

The two were talking and laughing, when they listened to the noisy noise coming from outside not far from the mine.

Xu Nannan was shocked, pretending to be calm, “What happened?”

Wei Guobing took a look, “I don’t know, don’t worry, anyway, as long as it is not something in our mine, it will be okay.”

Xu Nannan nodded and said with a smile, “Then I will go to work.”

When she arrived at the office, everyone came, and Sister Liu, who was opposite to her, was finishing her short hair.

She stopped fixing her hairpin when she saw Xu Nannan was here. She drank water while saying, “It’s okay now. Just now, a female worker came to see you several times. I think 80% is also for voting.”

“Who?” Xu Nannan had a guess in her heart.

“It seems that it’s the female mechanic apprentice who came to our office last time is called Wu or something?”

“Wu Qing,”

“Yes, that’s her. Anyway, she came to you a few times. She also asked why you came so late today. Did something happen?”

Xu Nannan sorted out her purchase order, and said, “I just chatted with Uncle Wei at the door and talked about voting, otherwise, I would have come earlier. You said that she came here again and again right? I wouldn’t be surprised. Yesterday afternoon, she came to cry and asked me to vote for her. I didn’t agree at the time. I guess she didn’t give up yet. No matter what she is, I won’t vote for her. The last time, she was the one who reported the house, Liu Sister, do you remember?”

Sister Liu certainly remembered this. Although Xu Nannan was still studying at the Mining Committee, she was also a member of their Purchasing Department. Naturally, she also knew this. “What’s wrong, there is still an inside story?”

“No, I thought she was a friend at the time and took her to play in my house. But she turned behind my back and even sold me out, she told Jiang Lili in the cafeteria about the house. She knew that Jiang Lili had a bad relationship with me. People said, isn’t this a clear way for people to report me? I didn’t wait to see her afterwards. I thought she was pretty shameless.”

The other people in the office heard it as if they were listening to a story, and thought it was really inside.

Xiao Zhang said, “Then if you don’t vote for her this time, she won’t shame you again, right?”

“Who knows, I won’t give it to her anyway, I have decided who to vote for.” Xu Nannan looked indifferent.

“Who do you want to vote for?”

“I heard that Uncle Wei said that the old Liu’s house in the mine is very difficult. I will see if I vote for him at that time.”

“I’m going to vote for him too. I really can’t afford the debt of favor, so let’s give the vote to the people who really need it.” Sister Liu was also worried.

The two were talking when someone knocked at the office door again. At first glance, they saw Wu Qing walked in.

“Here she is again.” Sister Liu murmured impatiently. She really doesn’t like this kind of girl who is honest on the surface and has a dark inside.

Xu Nannan looked at Wu Qing with a calm expression.

Wu Qing saw her, but she seemed to see a ghost. She was scared to take a step back, “Nan, Nannan, why are you here?”

Xu Nannan smiled and said, “If there is no holiday today, why can’t I come? Your question is also very strange.”

“No, yesterday…”

Xu Nannan raised her eyebrows, “What was it yesterday?”

“Yesterday… Nannan, shall we go out and talk?” Wu Qing looked at her straight.

“It’s really annoying.” Xu Nannan complained and stood up. she got up and walked out.

When she got outside, Wu Qing looked at Xu Nannan and looked up and down, as if she wanted to see a hole in her.

Xu Nannan stood and was watched by her. After she watched her several times, she asked, “What are you doing? You told me to come out without talking. If it’s just for that, I have to go to work.”

“Impossible, you were obviously…” Wu Qing looked at Xu Nannan, who seemed to be intact and had no problem, her eyes were a little red, and she subconsciously reached out to pull Xu Nannan’s clothes, as if she wanted to check if there was anything on her.

Xu Nannan took a step back, “What are you doing?”

“I obviously saw you being caught…” Wu Qing couldn’t believe it halfway through. Yesterday she clearly saw Xu Nannan being dragged down the small forest park by a man. That man was so tall that Xu Nannan would definitely not be able to escape.

At that time, she almost went back and called someone, but she walked to the gate of the mine and looked at the guards, but she didn’t want to say anything. Xu Nannan’s luck has always been so good, even God can’t pass it. That’s why it punishes her. If you are nosy, will you be punished by God?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Xu Nannan has gained so much, so what if she loses some. She keeps winning everything good.

After this time, Xu Nannan couldn’t even match her in the future.

She stayed up all night and waited to see the situation in the morning.

Seeing Xu Nannan had not come, she was scared and excited. She thought it really happened yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Xu Nannan actually came.

She looked nothing like she expected her to.

How could it be possible?

Xu Nannan watched her face change several times, until she hooked the corner of her mouth, and sneered. When she was dragged to the small forest park yesterday, she saw someone, who would have thought it was Wu Qing. At that time, she didn’t care about her grievances, thinking she could save herself. After all, for such a big thing, if it was her, even if it was Lao Xu’s family who was being held the small forest park, she would help. If you can’t take risks, it’s okay to call someone. This is the basic conscience of being a human being. This is what separates them from being labelled as a beast.

But Wu Qing gave her a good experience. Someone really didn’t save her life, and she ran away. Not even to call for someone, but she really ran away.

And looking at her reaction just now, she guesses she’s still too anxious to be upset by others.

Xu Nannan never thought of revenge against others. She had always been provoked by someone before, but she would only fight back to protect herself. In this not-so-peaceful era, who doesn’t want to protect oneself and live in peace?

But this time Wu Qing’s behavior really made her hate her.

“Is that enough? I have to go.” Then she turned and went into the office.

Wu Qing pulled her, “Nannan, you can promise to vote for me. If you promise me, I won’t say anything.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Xu Nannan looked at her inexplicably.

And then, she threw her hand away and entered the office.

Wu Qing stood behind her, looking straight at her, “Impossible, there must be something wrong. She’s just pretending.” She had seen it with her own eyes, why might something not be wrong? That person is so tall, he must be strong, and he will definitely succeed.

In the office, Sister Liu saw Xu Nannan look upset, and asked, “Is she bothering you to vote again?”

Xu Nannan said helplessly, “I don’t know what to think, but I have to vote. Why should I listen to her and does she think she is who she is? It was still inexplicable just now, but she said as long as I promised her, she said she would say nothing. I don’t know what she’s talking about.”

“I guess she wants to say bad things about you.”

“Follow her request?, No way, I am not afraid of what she has to say!”

“Well said.” Xiao Zhang applauded, “The people in the Purchasing Department are not good to be bullied. How can they be bullied by a female apprentice? If she really dares to hurt Nannan, let’s her face be ruined and see who is good.”

Xu Nannan smiled and thanked, “Thank you Xiao Zhang.” Everything that can be arranged has been arranged, and I am not afraid of anything!

It was quite peaceful all morning. A few people came to Xu Nannan to vote. As soon as Xu Nannan said that she had already made a decision, they went back. After all, she doesn’t have much friendship with other people’s little girls, and she doesn’t have to vote even if they want her to.

When it was almost noon, Section Chief Xiao came back, his face still a little serious.

“The women in our Department, needs to pay attention recently, so go home early in the evening, and they should have someone with them or someone to escort you home. The past few days were not peaceful.” Section Chief Xiao said.

Hearing this, everyone else in the office became confused, and Sister Liu said, “What’s wrong?”

“This morning, a worker found a man lying in the small forest park. The guy, has his legs broken. You said it was not scary. The Public Security Bureau was sent to the Nanjiang City Hospital just now, and he came to the Mine to investigate. Does anyone know about this? I just listened to it in the Mine Manager’s office.”

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Public Security has always been good, and such things have never happened in Nanjiang City.

Several people sounded a little frustrated.

Sister Liu muttered to Xu Nannan, “Go home early in the future. It’s too scary.”

Xu Nannan was full of grief. She nodded again and again.

Such a thing is still a big deal for Nanjiang City. Since it happened not far from the Mine, the news spread to the Mine, causing quite a stir.

Everyone is guessing who did it, and compiling various conspiracy theories. The most guessed one was that everyone thinks this is done by secret agents. The heart of imperialism will never die. This is to cause chaos to the people.

Xu Nannan listened in the cafeteria, feeling that it was a pity that these people didn’t write the spy war script.

While eating, Li Weiming kept staring at Zhu Fang. After eating, he solemnly said, “I will send you back every day after we get off work.”

“Cough cough cough cough,” Zhu Fang coughed, “Is it necessary? I live in a dormitory, so I don’t need to go out of the mine.”

“It’s better to be safe.” Li Weiming looked serious.

Xu Nannan was blinded by the pair and waved her hands, “You two don’t be polite to each other.”

Zhu Fang gave Li Weiming a look and looked at Xu Nannan, “Wei, you really don’t need to send me, but you Nannan, you really need to pay attention when you go back.”

“From now on, I will go with the big team, it’s okay. I trust our Comrade from the Public Security.”

“If Comrade Public Security is in charge, nothing like this will happen.”

Zhu Fang muttered.

No matter what, there is a lot of trouble in the mine. After working in the afternoon, many female workers walked in groups. Xu Nannan also walked with Sister Liu. Anyway, she doesn’t worry about it when she gets to the City Avenue.

Back home, Grandma Yu was cooking, and seeing Xu Nannan was back, she pulled her and said, “Something happened to Dong Wu!”

“What’s the matter?” Xu Nannan looked puzzled.

“It was something that happened near your Mine. Someone broke his leg and threw him into the small forest park. ” Even the roots of life were trampled on. This kind of thing is not good for her to talk to her unmarried granddaughter.

The old lady sighed when she talked about it. “God, I can’t see it anymore. Humans can still really do bad things.” Then she thought of Xu Nannan working in the Mine, and that Dong Wu had an accident near the mine. Worried that Dong Wu would go to Xu Nannan, she asked, ” Did you see Dong Wu lately?”

Xu Nannan shook his head, “No, I’ve been very careful these days, and it’s quite peaceful.”

Grandma Yu was relieved now.

At dinner in the evening, Grandpa Yu came back from watching the excitement and also talked about it. “Li Jinhua has gone to the Public Security Bureau, saying that she knows who harmed her son.”

Grandma Yu said, “Just like her house, it would be nice not to harm others. Who would even care about harming them?”

Xu Nannan nodded, this was really true.

In the Public Security Bureau, Li Jinhua yelled again inside. This time she was full of confidence. His son had an accident, and it was the duty of the Public Security Bureau to find the murderer.

Wu Gongan, who was handling errands, was so quarrelsome that this old aunt had come to make a noise before. How long has it been since then, and now she’s making a noise again.

“You don’t have any evidence, how can you be sure that a girl from someone else harmed your son?” The little policeman next to him was speechless.

This is why they did not accept this case. What Li Jinhua reported was not someone else, but a female worker in the mine who was molested by her son last time. That female worker is only seventeen years old, she is not tall, she is still an office literate, so how can she beat a tall man like this? This is just too unreasonable.

Li Jinhua cried, “It must be her, it can’t be wrong. My son went to find her, she was in the Mine, and my son had an accident nearby. If it wasn’t her then who else could have?”

No matter who caused the damage, it must have something to do with this girl anyway. If it weren’t for her, her son wouldn’t have any trouble. Last night, her son didn’t come back all night. She thought she was out there like this dead girl, but something happened this morning. She asked his son what was going on, but he just closed his mouth and said nothing, and let her go.

Anyway, this girl can’t get rid of the relationship, so she must be responsible.

Otherwise, who will take care of this son with a broken leg in the future?

Li Jinhua thought well, but Comrade Public Security didn’t buy it.

“I remember that your son was detained for a few days last time because he was playing hooligans against others. After he came out, he went to find someone else. Didn’t he know what he committed it? Have you seen the law of the Public Security Department in your eyes?” The older Wu Gongan patted the table with an angry expression.

Li Jinhua was shocked and didn’t dare to cry, “Then what about my son? I know it’s her!” Anyway, she’s just all bite.

Wu Gongan solemnly said, “We will handle all the necessary procedures for handling the case. We will definitely ask the girl for questions. But if you sue others casually like this, it is a false accusation and you have to bear the responsibility.”

Li Jinhua was spoken to in a daze.

The little policeman added fuel and jealousy, “This responsibility is not small, and you will have to go to jail.”

“That’s it.” Wu Gongan nodded.

When Li Jinhua heard it, she quickly wiped her tears, “My son is still in the hospital, I have to go and see him. You still have to investigate this matter clearly. Don’t let those bad guys get away with it.”

After speaking, she ran away.

The little policeman said, “Who is this who thought that the Public Security Bureau was run by their house?”

“Anyone who doesn’t have a long lesson. But what she said is also a clue. Aren’t you going to the mine to investigate tomorrow? Just ask by the way.”

No matter how big the trouble outside is, for the workers in the mine, it is not as big as the matter of dividing the house.

After several screenings by the Mining Committee, the list of houses to be voted for was finally determined.

The list was posted on a publicity column, allowing the Union and Workers to supervise it, proving that this time it was absolutely fair, open and just.

Those with names on the list are naturally full of excitement. Regardless of whether they can be assigned in the end, there is still a chance this time. Even if it is not assigned this time, the chance of it being assigned next time is even greater.

Wu Qing stood in front of the bulletin board and watched for a while, biting her lip when she left.

She and Zhang Liang didn’t get the certificate, and they didn’t even have the qualifications to participate in the house division.

But if Xu Nannan agreed to give her a vote before, she would be able to persuade Zhang Liang to collect the certificate with her, and there might be a chance now.

But since she didn’t succeed this time, Zhang Liang’s mother didn’t know when she would agree to their marriage.

When passing by the Mining Committee, she saw the small policeman who was sitting inside, wearing a uniform that was particularly conspicuous.
