Li Rui laughed and said, "If he knew what you were thinking, he would probably vomit blood." Ding Yijing lightly said, "I didn't ask him to chase me, he deserved it." Li Rui suddenly thought of something and said, "Are you also playing with me?" Ding Yijing laughed and said, "You just realized? It's too late, I've already played with you. " Li Rui saw that she was joking with him and knew that she was in a good mood and said, "I won't be free for a while, once I'm free, I'll definitely come and see you. Oh right, do you like to eat jujubes? I don't have anything on the mountain here, only jujubes, I'll pick some for you and mail it to you. "Ding Yijing said," Then hurry up and pick it, why are you still talking nonsense? "Li Rui happily said," Wait, I'll go pick it now and mail it to you as soon as possible. "
After the phone call, he was not in the mood to chat with the poor and left. He drove to the west side of the village and took out a large plastic bag. He also found a pair of gloves and put them on before climbing up the mountain. In just over half an hour, he arrived at the mountainside where he picked jujubes yesterday. Without resting, he walked to the jujube trees and picked jujubes excitedly. As he picked jujubes, he thought, "I originally wanted to take revenge on Ding Yijing for her indifference to me, so I wanted to conquer her. Who would have thought that after a period of slowly getting along with her, I would be fascinated by her? How could I think of taking revenge on her now?" He was completely in love with her. Sigh, I'm really useless. I've been played by a woman like this.
After picking for a while, he had already picked two large handfuls. He estimated that in another hour, he would be able to pick at least three or four catties. Ding Yijing would not be able to finish all of it by herself, so she might as well send half to Qingman. Although Ding Yijing was worthy of being loved and cherished, his wife must not be neglected.
As he was picking jujubes enthusiastically, five or six people came from the north side of the mountain. They were all men in their twenties and thirties, each of them had a tool in their hands, if it was not an iron drill, then a pick hammer. One of them had an electronic device in his hands, and another one had a long rod that looked like a fishing net. At the end of the rod was an iron ring, naturally there was no fishing net inside. No one would bring fishing equipment up the mountain.
These people ignored Li Rui's presence and started to busy themselves on the mountain. Some of them threw iron drills on the mountain rocks, while others used the long rod to sweep the ground and the mountain walls. It looked like they were sweeping mines.
Li Rui was very curious, but he did not have time to pay attention to them and continued to pick jubes.
Later, a middle-aged man in his thirties came over and said with a grin, "Fellow countryman, are you picking jujubes?"
Li Rui replied with a "hmm". Hearing that he spoke Mandarin, which was not the local dialect of Qingyang, Li Rui was slightly curious. He stared at this person and saw that he was dressed in the typical office worker's uniform: black trousers, a white shirt, and a brownish-yellow jacket. There was a work permit with a blue string around his neck. He seemed to be a staff member of some organization. However, looking at this person's appearance again, Li Rui found that he did not look shifty, but he gave people a strange feeling. Especially his face, which was so pale that it was not normal, as if he had just run out of the morgue. Li Rui's heart skipped a beat. He ignored him and continued to pick jujubes.
This person asked again, "Why are you picking jujubes? Are you eating them? You have picked a lot of jujubes, can you eat them all? " Li Rui saw that he took the initiative to talk to him, so he asked him, "What are you doing?" This person held up the work permit in front of him and said, "We are from the Geological Exploration Department. We are here to do some exploration." Li Rui asked curiously, "Exploration for what? This place is barren, how can there be any mineral deposits? "The person nodded and said," Yes, yes, yes, we are here to explore for mineral deposits. "Li Rui pointed at the long stick in the person's hand and said," What is that for? Is it for metal minerals? "The person continued to nod and said," Yes, yes. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Are there gold and silver mines in this mountain?" The person shook his head and said, "I don't know, we have to explore to know." Li Rui said, "Which unit are you from? You are not from Shannan Province, right? " This person originally wanted to greet him, but it was just a greeting. Seeing that he was not done with his questions, he was slightly annoyed and said, "You can pick them." He turned around and left.
After he left, Li Rui also wanted to rest for a while, so he stopped and put the bag in a stone pit and pressed it with a stone. Seeing that they were busy, he walked over to see what was going on.
When these people saw him walking over, they were a little cautious and all stopped.
The man who greeted him just now came over and stopped him and said, "Fellow countryman, where are you going?" Li Rui said, "I want to see how you are going to explore." The man laughed and said, "That won't do. This is an important job, it has to be kept secret. You stay away, stay away. "
This time Li Rui was a little puzzled. What kind of secrets does a geological exploration have? Are they worried that if they find a big gold mine, he will be the first to mine it? How is that possible? Mining any mineral deposit requires a lot of equipment and procedures, how can a normal person do it? If that's the case, what are they worried about? However, since they said that it was a secret, and he did not know the rules of the exploration company, he did not want to think too much and did not want to delay their work. So he turned around and returned to the wild jujube trees.
Sitting on the rock where Ling Shuyao had sat yesterday, Li Rui looked up at these people and suddenly burst out laughing. He thought, These people are really funny. Oh, when I went to take a look, they stopped me and said that they wanted to keep it a secret. But now that I'm back, I can still see the details of their work. What secrets do they have?
The man saw Li Rui looking from afar and could not help but walk over and said to him, "Fellow countryman, after you finish picking the wild jujubes, you should leave quickly. Don't delay our work." Li Rui was not happy and said, "Delay your work? Are you joking with me? I am about ten 'zhang's away from you, how can I delay your work? "The man said," You stay here and watch, we are distracted. Please be considerate. "Finished speaking, he sighed and took out a packet of' Zhongnanhai 'from his pocket. He took one out and handed it over. Li Rui said, "I don't smoke." The man picked it up himself and took out a lighter and said, "It's not easy. Let's understand each other. You should leave."
Li Rui said, "I haven't finished picking the wild jujubes." The man asked, "How much longer do you need?" Li Rui said, "At least half an hour." The man frowned and said, "Can you come back tomorrow to pick? Please understand and support our work. "Li Rui asked," I am puzzled, how did I delay your work? " The man saw that Li Rui did not agree so he took out his wallet and took out ten yuan and handed it over, "It's been hard on you, please understand. Go back and buy a pack of cigarettes. Hurry up and leave." After he finished speaking, he pushed Li Rui with his hand, trying to drive him away.
Li Rui was angry and pushed his hand away, saying, "What do you mean? Are you trying to drive me away? " The man smiled and said, "No, no. Didn't I give you the money? If you take the money and leave, it can be considered as supporting our work, okay?" Li Rui said, "If I don't finish picking the wild jujubes, I definitely won't leave." The man frowned and said, "Why are you like this? I've said all the good things and given you the money, why don't you leave? "Li Rui sneered and said," Because you don't have a reason to make me leave. "
The man thought for a moment and took out a fifty yuan note from his wallet and handed it to Li Rui, saying, "Hurry up and leave, I beg you, okay?" Li Rui suddenly felt that something was wrong. He thought back to last night when Ling Shuyao wanted to go to the courtyard to relieve herself but did not say so and only told him to go back to sleep. Today this man was even more excessive and gave him money for free to leave. Didn't this mean that he had a secret that was even more private than a woman relieving herself? Was it worth it to do normal work and mine exploration? Li Rui deliberately teased him, "No, can fifty yuan be considered money now? I can pick some wild jujubes and sell them in front of the village's primary school and earn a few hundred yuan. "
The man angrily said, "You think it's not enough? My god, how hard is it for us to earn fifty yuan? You … you don't want to give face. "Li Rui's face sank and said," How can you say that? If you say that again I'll slap you. " The man clearly did not want to have a conflict with him. He sighed and said, "Okay, okay, tell me, how much do you want?" Li Rui said, "One thousand!" The man's face changed and cursed, "You … you …" Li Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can still negotiate." The man impatiently said, "Just fifty yuan, hurry up and leave. If you don't leave I'll inform the local government to arrest you and show you the power of a democratic dictatorship." Li Rui laughed and said, "The government? The last thing I'm afraid of is the government. Come on, you try to shout and see who dares to arrest me. "
The man realized that he might be a troublemaker in the village, which was why he wasn't afraid of the government. He frowned and said, "You are too unreasonable. I told you to delay our work, but you didn't listen. Alright, alright …"
Before he finished his words, his companion shouted in surprise, "Boss, there's a situation!" The man looked back and then turned back to look at Li Rui. He clenched his teeth and took out a hundred yuan bill from his wallet and handed it over, "Hurry up and leave. This is the bottom line. One hundred yuan. Hurry up and leave. Don't let me see you again." Li Rui took the money and thought that there were wild jujube trees everywhere. He did not have to waste his time here with them. What could he do with this money? At least he could eat and drink with Wang Tiekui, Xie Sanping and the other village officials. He took the money and turned around to pick up the wild jujubes.
The man saw him leave and let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and ran towards his companion.
