Chapter 294

Just as Wang An walked out of the gate, Mu Xueli and Wang Li arrived.

Because Wang An had decided to go to the county at the last minute, the two of them didn't know beforehand.

After a simple greeting, Wang An told them that he was going to the county to handle some business and let them go do whatever they wanted.

After hearing this, the two told Wang An that the mud pellets were almost air-dried and would soon be ready for firing, and then they each drove their sleds away.

Wang An drove the sled and sped along. The road was very calm, and nothing happened.

Soon, Wang An arrived at the county. He looked at his watch; it was not yet 8 o'clock, so Wang An went directly to Wu Dong's house.

Because Wu Dong had said during their chat before that they go to work at 8:30 in winter and 7:30 in summer.

When Wang An arrived at Wu Dong's house, the gate of Wu Dong's house had not been opened yet.

Helpless, Wang An shouted toward the courtyard: "Brother Wu, open the door, I'm here."

The gate of Wu Dong's house was a rare one in this era, welded from steel bars. The whole gate was like a fence, and you could see inside and outside the courtyard.

The gate was a double-door structure with a large iron bolt in the middle. One end of the bolt was flattened to serve as a stopper, and the other end had a screw knob welded on to hang a padlock.

And at the very top of the gate, the protruding steel bars were also hammered and ground into points.

Even with Wang An's height, he felt that if he were to climb the gate, he would have to be careful about his own anus.

Because if these steel bars were removed one by one, they would be spears. If you were stabbed by this thing, damn, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.

Wang An's shout didn't call Wu Dong out, but it called Wu Dong's grandfather out.

Wu Grandpa was seen smiling as he inserted the key into the gate lock, and then Wu Grandpa was heard saying:

"Young man, are you here to bring me liquor again?"

When Wang An heard this, he said with a chuckle: "Wu Grandpa was already tipsy last time; I can't let you drink anymore."

Wu Grandpa immediately widened his eyes and said very dissatisfied:

"You didn't bring liquor? If you didn't bring liquor, what are you here for? Alright, go back. Remember to bring liquor next time."

Wang An was directly stunned; this old man didn't play by the rules at all.

Wu Grandpa was seen stopping the unlocking action without hesitation after speaking and turning around to go back into the house.

Wu Grandpa's move directly left Wang An speechless, but the business wasn't done yet, and he still had to get through the door.

So Wang An shouted directly: "Wu Grandpa, I have liquor here. Open the gate for me."

Day after day, where is there a reason to drive guests away?

You have to know that Wang An changes his face faster than a dog, and when Wu Grandpa heard Wang An's shout, he changed his face even faster than Wang An!

When Wu Grandpa turned around very nimbly, his face was already full of smiles, and he said with a chuckle:

"You child, you are not honest at all, playing tricks on your elders."

I have to say, Wu Grandpa is definitely an old and cunning character.

Wang An remained silent, waiting for Wu Grandpa to open the gate.

And Wu Grandpa walked back to the gate but didn't open it, instead saying with a chuckle:

"Young man, what are you looking at? Bring the liquor here."

The corners of Wang An's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "Wu Grandpa, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right now."

After Wang An finished speaking, he returned to the sled and took out a skin bag.

When Wu Grandpa saw the skin bag, his eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly unlocked the gate.

However, after unlocking it, Wu Grandpa didn't open the gate, but walked directly outside the courtyard and snatched the skin bag from Wang An's hand.

Then he couldn't wait to open the skin bag and took three big gulps: "Gulp," "gulp," "gulp."

After Wu Grandpa finished drinking, he let out a sigh and said: "Why didn't you come earlier? This liquor was making me crave it to death."

Wang An looked at Wu Grandpa and really didn't know what to say.

After a while, Wang An tentatively said: "Wu Grandpa, why don't we go into the courtyard? I have something to discuss with Brother Wu."

Wu Grandpa might have been satisfied with the drink and said with a chuckle: "Go in, go in. I'll open the gate for you right now."

Just as Wang An was taking down the bear paws, Wu Dong came out of the house, dressed neatly. After the pleasantries, Wang An learned that Wang Shuai and the other two didn't live at Wu Dong's place, which was why they hadn't appeared.

While explaining his purpose to Wu Dong, Wang An took down two bear paws, four rabbits, four pheasants, and four hazel grouse from the sled.

After hearing this, Wu Dong was very embarrassed and sucked his teeth, saying:

"Brother, I've noticed that these two times you've come to me to handle business, none of it has been simple."

Wang An said with a grin: "Brother Wu, you say that, but if it were simple, I could handle it myself. Why would I trouble you?"

Wu Dong thought for a long time before saying: "I haven't paid attention to this stuff; I don't know where there is any at all. Why don't we go to the government's logistics section and take a look first?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An immediately moved the bear paws and such to the door of the house and took out the only remaining skin bag of liquor from the sack. Just as he was about to turn around, the liquor in his hand was snatched away.

Wang An looked up and found that Wu Grandpa had darted over at some point and was now holding the skin bag and smiling.

Wang An immediately looked at Wu Dong, only to see Wu Dong shake his head slightly, meaning not to worry about it.

With Wu Dong's stance, Wang An felt relieved, but he heard Wu Grandpa say with a chuckle:

"Young man, your liquor is not bad. Bring more next time."

Because Wu Dong was by his side, Wang An had a reassurance and had no more misgivings, saying with a chuckle:

"Alright, Wu Grandpa, I will definitely bring you more next time."

After Wang An finished speaking, he and Wu Dong drove the sled away.

On the way, from chatting with Wu Dong, Wang An learned that the jar of deer blood liquor Wang An brought last time had been monopolized by Wu Grandpa.

And after Wu Grandpa finished drinking the deer blood liquor, his health improved a lot. Because of this, Wu Dong even specifically called back to Heilongjiang.

Just after Wu Dong told his father the situation, the next day, Wu Dong's father and an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor came over from Bingcheng.

After the old doctor took his pulse, he said that Wu Grandpa's health was quite good, possibly because of drinking the deer blood liquor.

However, what puzzled Wang An was, with Wu Grandpa's status and position, could he not drink deer blood liquor in Bingcheng?

Just after Wang An voiced his question, Wu Dong's answer was actually affirmative.

Because Wu Grandpa disliked the strong fishy smell of deer blood liquor and had never drunk it at all.

This time, if it weren't for craving liquor, Wu Grandpa wouldn't have drunk the deer blood liquor Wang An brought.

Finally, Wu Dong also signaled Wang An to bring more deer blood liquor next time, which left Wang An truly unable to laugh or cry.

However, this kind of thing was a small matter for Wang An, so he agreed very readily.

The two arrived at the logistics section. Wu Dong went in to ask, and the logistics section didn't have chainsaws.

However, the people in the logistics section kindly gave Wu Dong a big saw, saying that this thing saws wood really fast.

Wu Dong wasn't polite at all and threw this brand-new big saw onto the sled.

Then Wu Dong and Wang An drove the sled around the county—supply and marketing cooperatives, public security bureaus, hospitals...

Wherever Wu Dong knew people, the two of them visited everywhere.

But the shitty thing was, none of these units had this thing.

Instead, there were two more big saws on the sled; these two big saws were taken from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Finally, the helpless Wu Dong frowned and said:

"Let's go to the logistics department of the garrison compound and take a look. If they don't have it either, we can only find a way for you from Bingcheng."

Wang An naturally had no objection and drove the sled straight to the compound.

I have to say, whether it was Wang Shuai or Wu Dong, or He Liang and Ma Guoqiang, these four people were really very decent.

Arriving at the compound, they left the sled outside the gate, and Wu Dong led Wang An inside.

Arriving at the logistics department, Wang An almost cried with joy, because in the whole county, after running to so many units, the soldiers were still the most helpful.

In the logistics department, there were a total of 4 chainsaws, which were used by the cooking squad to cut firewood. It's just that for a chainsaw, one is normally enough, and they didn't need this many at all.

So Wu Dong didn't say a word and wrote a slip to borrow one.

In Wu Dong's words, the military and the people are one family; no problem.
