Chapter 388: Ambition unfulfilled, he died before his time; he was exposed just like that

~8 min read 1,425 words

The mother-in-law from Gansu sent a letter, and at the same time sent a large sack of processed walnuts.

After asking for her husband's opinion, Amei divided the walnuts into several portions and gave them to relatives and friends here as a favor.

There was no need to mention her aunt's family; Aunt Shen and Aunt Pei's families were given the most.

These walnut kernels are good things; children eating them is good for their brains!

Because walnuts are very hard, they must be smashed with hard objects like hammers.

The little ones were all squatting not far away, their eyes shining as they watched the grandparents smash walnuts.

These walnut kernels don't have much taste when eaten alone, but if made into bread and embedded in the bread, they are very fragrant and sweet.

After Old Master Lu smashed for a while, his arms were sore; after resting for a moment, he couldn't help but mutter—

"These walnut kernels are large; your mother-in-law's family is quite good, specifically picking the big ones to send to you..."

"Hmm, my husband said this was my mother-in-law taking my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to specifically pick them in the mountains..."

Amei revealed a simple and honest smile; living a comfortable life, her spirit was also different.

Now the set of "evil mother-in-law" is no longer popular; now, "good mother-in-law" is popular, and being sensible is a virtue that both sides must possess.

If you really want this family to be good, a good mother-in-law will consciously avoid suspicion, while an evil mother-in-law will only look for trouble, making the household restless!

Walnut kernels are still dangerous for the little ones.

The adults only give them walnuts to play with, not daring to feed them walnut kernels. They are afraid of choking the throat and airway foreign body obstruction.

So in the time that followed, the little ones chewed on the walnuts for a few bites and then threw the thing away.

It wasn't as fun as the sandpit in the courtyard!

Shen Man had a rare day off today; at this time, she was in the kitchen, kneading dough, and the egg whites had already been separated, and sugar and other ingredients were all ready.

The eggbeater made a "pappa" sound; this was a long-lasting physical job.

But for the finished bread, this temporary hardship was nothing.

Here, the small courtyard was peaceful, while over at the Haibin train station, the two who had traveled a long distance finally arrived at their destination.

"Chug—chug—chug—"

The train pulled into the station, and soon the flow of people getting off the train moved like sardines.

Approaching the National Day holiday, many people took leave in advance to come to the Sea Island to visit relatives.

The husband-and-wife combination of Wu Jianguo and Chen Hongxiu didn't seem strange in the eyes of others.

"Dao, Jianguo, I'm hungry, I want to eat braised pork. These few days on the train, eating dry rice without oil every day, I feel like I've starved thin..."

Chen Hongxiu felt extremely aggrieved; ever since she followed Brother Dao, she hadn't suffered for many years!

"Hongxiu, I'll ask someone to see if there is a state-run restaurant here."

Wu Jianguo was also hungry, the kind of hungry where there was no oil in his stomach.

After asking a few people and successfully finding the location of the state-run restaurant, they went in and couldn't wait to order dishes.

"Braised pork, braised fish, braised ribs, give me a plate of each."

"Yo, big brother, where are you from? So heroic?"

The two's wealthy and imposing appearance attracted the attention of many diners; those who were bold and familiar asked.

Zhang Hongxiu hurriedly gave her man a wink; they were here to do bad things and couldn't be exposed.

"We, we are workers from the factory, here to travel on the Sea Island. My wife hasn't been on a long trip with me for so long..."

Under Wu Jianguo's rendering, he became a good man who took his wife out to travel.

Many women who came to the restaurant with their husbands to have a treat showed envious expressions.

However, fake is fake; it's not something that can be fooled by lying.

This wasn't it—Lao Mo, who was originally leaning against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly became alert.

He was a scout by origin and could distinguish between friend and foe by looking at people's conversation.

Right now, this couple, where did they look like they were traveling?

With precautions in his heart, he listened more carefully.

Immediately after, the man got up to pay—a leather wallet, and the money and coupons inside were very new.

You know, the average person's monthly salary is only about thirty.

This person, just the money and coupons in his wallet, were at least twenty or thirty "Big Unities" (ten-yuan notes)!

What kind of person would travel with such a huge amount of money?

Traveling?

Now the market economy hasn't opened up on a large scale, and the country hasn't coordinated the policies yet. Even if they were traveling, they would definitely not be like this couple...

Could it be a spy?

He must pay attention; even if he is no longer a soldier, his heart to serve the motherland has never changed!

Although Wu Jianguo had the awareness of counter-reconnaissance, he was not professional.

Plus, he was in the black market and did things that were not bright, and there were many younger brothers under him who went through fire and water for him, so he exposed many flaws without knowing it.

Lao Mo had a plan in his heart; he first let his apprentices keep an eye on this person, and then he rode a tricycle to report to the police!

When the steaming hot food was served on the table, Zhang Hongxiu hadn't had time to pick up her chopsticks before she was surrounded by a group of public security personnel in uniform!!!

"Hands on your head, squat down!"

Almost subconsciously, the two did as they were told, their movements smooth, like flowing clouds and water!!!

Other customers eating were surprised and confused.

Good heavens, what's wrong with this couple?

"Public security comrades, what did we do wrong? Why did you suddenly arrest us?"

Wu Jianguo still had some of a man's responsibility and asked persistently; he didn't understand where it went wrong?

They just got off the train and hadn't done anything bad yet!

"Stop talking nonsense, take them away!"

"When you get to the public security bureau, leniency for confession, severity for resistance!"

The old public security officer took a look at the arrest target; it was indeed a bit strange.

He saw the changes in their eyes and had a plan in his heart.

However, whether they were spies or secret agents, or had other purposes, they needed to be interrogated to know.

"We are just ordinary people here to travel, we are really not bad people."

"Public security comrades, we haven't eaten yet, can we eat until we are full before going with you?"

Compared to the man's sophistry, the woman gave up on herself; even if she died, she would be a well-fed ghost!

Lao Mo was amused by the woman's attitude; was his apprentice's craftsmanship really that delicious?

Other customers also looked at the man and woman with indescribable expressions. Forget it, Lao Mo's apprentice's craftsmanship has improved again!

The public security officers controlled the situation, thought about it, and stared at the man and woman until they were full before arresting them.

On one hand, they were in the suspicion stage and couldn't define them yet.

On the other hand, their public security bureau's rations were tight, and they didn't want to feed the two of them until they were full!

Just like that, the scene was strangely harmonious.

Zhang Hongxiu ate until her mouth was oily; she was really hungry!

She didn't know what she would face when she got to the public security bureau, so she ate until she was full to recharge her energy!

As for Wu Jianguo, he was really numb.

Ambition unfulfilled, he died before his time; he was exposed just like that?

That piece of land in his western suburb!

No, until the last moment, he would not give up easily!

He would bite to the death!

They were just here to investigate cooperation, to purchase seafood and canned fruit for the factory!

Anything else, he would not admit! ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
