After the disaster

Qiao Yongmao was taken away, and the atmosphere in the entire Xinnan University showed a strange calmness. The victims were quieter than usual, and they were cautious in every move, but they all seemed to be holding their breath in their hearts.

Through the "eyes of heaven and earth", Qiu Cheng heard several people in the city discussing this matter, and learned that Qiao Yongmao will definitely not be sentenced to death, but because the impact of committing a crime in public is relatively bad, he should be sentenced to about 20 years He was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and in a few days he would take the train to the Northwest with other prisoners.

The development of the matter was beyond Qiu Cheng's expectations. If he hadn't changed his mind temporarily last night, today's incident would definitely not have happened. Qiao Yongmao didn't have to kill people, and he wouldn't be dragged to the bitter cold place in the northwest to mine.

But for Qiao Yongmao, Qiu Cheng didn't have any emotions like guilt. He was oppressed, he resisted, and he was about to pay the price for his actions. It doesn't matter.But what he did won Qiu Cheng's respect, because he did what a man should do.

After knowing where Qiao Yongmao was going to be sent, Qiu Cheng called Boss Bai.

"I have a friend who will be sent to the XX mining area in two days. Brother Bai, can you say hello to the friend over there." Qiu Cheng said on the phone.

"You boy, do you think of me now? Why didn't you call me when you were slaughtering pigs and sheep?" Boss Bai was full of resentment. Those good things he got back before were all cut off by his grandchildren in the city and province. He was so clean that he and his brothers didn't eat a few pieces of meat during Chinese New Year.

Boss Bai was also very well informed about the news in Xinnan City. Knowing that Qiu Cheng asked Shen Xing to deliver pork and mutton to many people in Xinnan City, Boss Bai felt very sorry for not being able to share a share of the pie.

"If there are any good things in the future, I will definitely remember you." Qiu Cheng promised quickly.

"Don't say anything about the future, do you have any good things on hand now, kid?" Boss Bai's life is not easy now.

"Except for some voles, there is nothing else." The previous batch of hens hatched a lot of chickens, but these chickens have not grown up yet, and it is not yet ready to be slaughtered.

"Voles are also meat. Tell me, what do you want, kid? I'll bring it over and exchange it with you tomorrow." Boss Bai was very happy to learn that Qiu Cheng still had voles.

"Do you still have cornmeal?" Qiu Cheng asked him.

"Who can still have cornmeal these days?" Boss Bai paused, and then said, "Even if there is, I can't ship it to you. If I ship a bag of cornmeal to you today, it will have to be sent to you tomorrow." Now, many people in the city think that I still have cornmeal on hand, damn it, they are just waiting for me to show my tail." Although he did have some on hand.

"Then, do you have any salt?" Qiu Cheng was afraid that the situation would get worse in the next few months. Since the other party didn't have cornmeal, he should take this opportunity to stock up on more salt.

"Hi! I have this!" Boss Bai now has a lot of salt on hand.

"Brother Bai, what about what I just said?" Qiu Cheng mentioned his purpose of calling him again.

"Oh, that's easy to say, I'll say hello to the brothers over there in a while, so you can rest assured, with them taking care of you, your friend can't suffer. By the way, what's his name?" Boss Bai readily agreed to help this time.

"Qiao Yongmao." Qiu Cheng said.

Another time before, when Qiu Cheng was observing the situation of Guiguihuang through the "eyes of heaven and earth", he happened to hear them talking about a brother who was in the mining area, and learned that Guiguihuang, Boss Bai and others , more or less a few people under his command were sent to the northwest mining area.

Among them, some of them were jailed for committing crimes in the past, and were later sent there uniformly, and some just entered recently. In short, because the relationship between these gangs is relatively friendly, there are also connections among them. , When they get inside, they also hug each other and take care of each other, and life there will be much easier. If Qiao Yongmao can build up this relationship, he should not be bullied by other prisoners.

Boss Bai agreed to help, so Qiu Cheng felt relieved. As for Qiao Yongmao's wife and children, Qiu Cheng would naturally send a hundred catties of cornmeal to them. They will be taken to Building [-] of Jiayuan Community.

Now Qiu Cheng has no plans to accept more people, and the people who live here, whether it is Zheng Jitao Xiao Yuping, or Jiang Granny, are all trusted and respected by Qiu Cheng.As for Qiao Yongmao's wife and children, if they only rely on their status as Qiao Yongmao's wife and children, it is not enough to make Qiu an exception for them.

After this incident, the military will definitely have stricter management of these disaster victims in Xinnan University. The three of them, mother and son, are not absolutely weak among these disaster victims. What happens in the future depends mainly on themselves.

Early the next morning, Boss Bai brought a cart full of salt into the Jiayuan community. Now that the price of salt is cheap, if you want to trade them for meat, you can't do it without bringing a little more.

Qiu Cheng has also prepared the voles in advance. The voles he raised before have grown to a large scale. Now they are raised by several households living in the sixth building of Jiayuan Community, mainly concentrated on the tenth to the thirteenth floor. In the few empty houses facing north, it was naturally impossible for Qiu Cheng to take Boss Bai to visit his own site from house to house, so he sorted out all the voles that could be sold in advance.

"Hahaha! There are so many!" Boss Bai burst into laughter when he saw so many field mice that Qiu Cheng asked people to move down. At that time, it still felt completely different.

"Wait another month, and I can produce a batch of little roosters here." Qiu Cheng said.At this moment, the place where they trade is in an empty room owned by Qiu Chengming on the second floor of Jiayuan Community.

"It's really you! At this time, young roosters can still be produced. I heard that several farms in the north, because they couldn't distribute the workers' rations, the livestock in the farms were looted by the workers, and there was no feed left." Boss Bai patted Qiu Cheng's shoulder vigorously. It's not so easy to do something these days. This kid is really good.

"Do you want all these voles?" Qiu Cheng was a little guilty after being praised, and asked with a few giggles.

"I want it all." Boss Bai waved his hand.

"Hey, boss, now we finally have some meat to eat!" The young people brought by Boss Bai were overjoyed.

"What are you talking about, you know how to eat all day long, what time is it now? All these voles have been eaten, when the time comes, let you feed me the pups?" Boss Bai slapped the one who yelled the loudest. past.

"If you want to raise voles, then I'll ask someone to pick some better female mice." Qiu Cheng sorted out these voles yesterday, but according to the standards of meat mice.

"Okay, better female mice, we'll pay another price." Boss Bai didn't take advantage of him either.

"Boss, if we want to raise chickens, why don't we raise chickens? Why do we need voles?" It's not like they can't afford chickens.

"What do you know? In this situation, people can't get enough to eat. What else do you feed the chickens? Voles are easy to feed. Let's keep a batch just in case." It's just after the Spring Festival , What will happen this year, I don't know yet.

After negotiating the price, Qiu Chengcheng handed over the next matter to Zhou Quan, and took Ah Chang upstairs. When he came down again, he carried two plastic bags in his hand. If you want to give it to Boss Bai, the business is business. Since I am asking him for help this time, I have to be more or less thoughtful.

Among these two bags, one of the bags contained a few catties of snails. Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang had found a lot of snails from the Xinnan River before, and kept them in the paddy fields on the fifteenth floor. After such a long time, these snails A lot of small snails were born. The [-]th floor is Qiu Cheng's main planting area, and the temperature has been adjusted to be relatively high. Even in winter, these snails grow very well.

The other bag contained crayfish, which Ah Chang and the girls from the Wang family brought back together. They were raised by Qiu Cheng in the ditch of a medicine garden on the [-]th floor. They have grown well in the past few months. , Now there are some small shrimps in the ditch. They have only eaten them twice, and this time they are not willing to catch more, so they got about [-] shrimps.

"Fried snails! Spicy crayfish! Haha, I'll have a good drink tonight." Boss Bai took the bag, opened it, and looked at it. He was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and he knew that Qiu Cheng sent these things to him. As for what it was, I assured him again and again: "The matter of Qiao Yongmao is on my brother's shoulders, brother, you can rest assured."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Bai." Qiu Cheng said with a smile.

"Hey, why are you being polite." Boss Bai patted Qiu Cheng on the back and said, "Your temper towards me, if you have anything to do in the future, feel free to call me, or tell my brothers It's the same, I have already greeted them, and Guiguihuang also said it, and we will treat you as our brother in the future."

Qiu Cheng and Boss Bai have known each other for so long, and it wasn't until this moment that he was truly recognized by the gangster and regarded him as one of his own.

For people in the mixed society, the most important thing is the word love. Last night, after Boss Bai hung up on Qiu Cheng, he called his friends in Xinnan City to find out what happened to Qiao Yongmao. , to be honest, for this kind of guy, Qiu Cheng doesn't need to say anything, if he meets him, Lao Bai will definitely take care of him.

However, this is not the fundamental reason why Qiu Cheng was recognized by Boss Bai. The reason why Qiu Cheng was recognized by Boss Bai was mainly because of the things he did in the city. Collecting grass, he also insisted on sending food to the orphanage, and so on.

For those philanthropists who pretend to be charitable, Boss Bai never plays with them seriously, but for people like Qiu Cheng who really do practical things and can still persist, he still respects them very much, although he himself is sure He wouldn't do such a thing, but it didn't affect his respect for such a person.

"Good boy! Tsk tsk, I noticed that kid the first time he came back to set up a stall on our street. How did I tell you about it? Sample?"

On the way back, Boss Bai sat in the passenger seat, carrying the snails and crayfish that Qiu Cheng had given him, chatting happily along the way.

"Why didn't you say that when you sold those piglets, you slaughtered people as pigs." Those piggies didn't look too expensive back then, but their purchase price was frighteningly cheap.

A few young people in the car murmured in low voices, no one dared to come up to fight, so they had to hold their noses and listen to their boss bragging about how he was so good at the beginning, it was like old friends at first sight, heroes cherish heroes...
