Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"You have to be careful! This machine is very valuable!"

At the entrance of Nianwei Hospital, Jiang Qitao directed the workers to move things from a large truck, especially a refrigerator.

She was taking care of things carefully, and now she was moving around the workers as if she was facing a great enemy. Sometimes she would squat down to see if the ropes were tied tightly, and sometimes she would check if any corners were not tied carefully enough. She was very busy and had a lot of fun.

When Li Xiangnan came out of the hall with his bag on his back, he happened to see this funny scene. Seeing how cautious she was, he remembered that he heard Qiao Henwan say a few days ago that this girl was going back to her hometown, and guessed that she was coming for this instrument.

"Taozi, you're back?" He quickly walked down the stairs to greet her.

"Xiangnan! Come and take a look! This is the refrigerator my grandpa gave me!"

Hearing the shout, Jiang Qitao turned around and saw that it was him. Her eyebrows instantly curved and she immediately waved at him.

"refrigerator?"

Li Xiangnan was startled and looked over subconsciously.

Six workers were struggling to move a tightly wrapped wooden box tied with thick ropes down from a large truck!

The Xiangxuehai brand was clearly printed on the wooden box!

Sea of ​​fragrant snow!

As a representative brand of domestic refrigerators in the 80s, this brand of refrigerators has occupied a place in the fierce competition with its technological innovation and cost-effectiveness.

This was a national brand in the 1980s!

It is the star product produced by Suzhou Refrigerator Factory!

But as far as Li Xiangnan knows, this refrigerator has just been launched on the market at this juncture, and the annual production is only one thousand units!

Moreover, ordinary people can’t buy it at all!

You can’t buy this refrigerator even if you have an industrial ticket!

"Taozi, you brought back a refrigerator?" Li Xiangnan was surprised and quickly pulled her aside.

Seeing the hesitation on Li Xiangnan's face, Jiang Qitao naturally knew what he was thinking. Hearing this, she smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa gave it to me!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan knew there was something behind this.

Sure enough, Jiang Qitao looked around and explained in a low voice, "Last summer, Grandpa saved someone in Yuhang who was on his way to a meeting! This person was a member of the management team at the Suzhou Refrigerator Factory. He had a quota for this refrigerator this year, so he bought it himself and sent it to my grandfather!"

"Your grandfather doesn't want such a valuable thing?" When Li Xiangnan saw that the license plate of the truck was from Nan'an Province, he knew that Jiang Qitao was probably called back a few days ago just to get this refrigerator.

Jiang Qitao's eyes turned red when she talked about this.

"Our snake venom research institute is finally on track. He said he didn't need this stuff in the mountains! But he knew I needed it. Yanjing is different from the mountains. There are ice caves to store serum! Here, you can't do without a refrigerator!"

Li Xiangnan was speechless.

Jiang Qitao waved her hand in front of him, "Why are you so stunned? Don't think that you've owed me a favor. The two of us, by bridging the gap between the snake venom research institute and the pharmaceutical factory, will be the best way to repay his kindness!"

"I know!" Li Xiangnan nodded and silently clenched his fists, thinking that no matter what, he must hurry up and get the pharmaceutical factory up and running.

Although this road is full of difficulties, it is much more difficult than imagined.

"Got it, but don't let me down! This time when I go back, I'll carefully discuss with Grandpa a lot of the things we need. When you're done, let's meet up and talk about the equipment! You mentioned tens of thousands of dollars to buy equipment, but I'm afraid it's not enough. Be prepared!"

Jiang Qitao covered her mouth and smiled.

Li Xiangnan threw his bag behind him and said, "I'm free now. The sooner this is done, the better!"

"That won't work!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qitao suddenly shook her head and said vehemently, "I'm not available today!"

"Hmm?" Li Xiangnan turned his head and found that her face was slightly red and she looked a little embarrassed!

"Oh, don't get me wrong! I've been escorting the refrigerator here these past two days, staying with the workers, and I haven't showered! Let's wait a couple of days, and let me sort it out!"

She stamped her feet and sighed in her heart that Li Xiangnan was too honest.

"Okay then!" Li Xiangnan could only scratch his head. "I'll wait for your news. It's a good time for you to sort things out!"

"Are you ready to go out?" Jiang Qitao asked him, looking up.

"Well, Zimo called me and he discovered something..."

"Just go and do your thing!" Jiang Qitao took advantage of the situation and pushed him down the stairs. When he turned around, she waved her hand and followed the workers, pushing the refrigerator down the slope into the hall.

refrigerator!

Li Xiangnan was thinking about something. He came to the carport and got on his motorcycle to go out.

He actually knows a little bit about Xiangxuehai brand refrigerators.

It is said that the manufacturer of this thing used to be in the medical device business!

Tsk, with a few factories of our own, can we also research this thing?

……

Under the locust tree in front of the People's Hospital, a group of people gathered in front of Xia Yangyang's popsicle stall.

Ge Dongxu squatted aside to repair someone's tire while glancing at the street out of the corner of his eye.

Song Zimo came staggering over with a few bottles of soda.

Li Xiangnan squatted nearby, seemingly waiting for someone, but in fact he was keeping his eyes on every person who passed by.

"These past few days, following your instructions, I've been taking Xiao Xia and Xiao Ge with me, and we've found some clues!"

Taking the opportunity to hand over the soda, Song Zimo spoke quickly.

Li Xiangnan took the soda and nodded.

"Have you seen the guy in the gray coat?" Ge Dongxu lowered his voice, the palm-leaf fan in his hand whirring. "The one carrying the basket of vegetables. I've been watching him for a few days. He shows up every two days, says a few words to the kids at the street corner, and then leaves."

Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes.

She was a woman in her forties, with an ordinary face like any other aunt on the street, but there was something strange about the way she walked - she always walked close to the wall, and would suddenly look back from time to time, as alert as a frightened rabbit.

"And that one." Xia Haiyang, the popsicle vendor, came over and handed over a red bean paste popsicle. "The kid riding the 28-inch bicycle had a military canteen hanging around his neck. I noticed him, and the canteen wasn't filled with water; it smelled like medicinal wine. Those kids trembled when they saw him."

Li Xiangnan took the popsicle and took a bite, feeling heavy in his heart.

"These people placed those children near the hospital because they thought everyone who came and went here would be kindhearted and unable to bear the pain of the world, and would empathize with it!" Song Zimo squatted on the ground, drinking soda, and shook his head. "As for the brother and sister you mentioned, I haven't seen them much these past few days!"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the streetlight under the restaurant opposite.

"Did you see that old shoe shiner? The kids avoid him! His identity is still unknown!"

Li Xiangnan lit a cigarette and looked over through the smoke.

Sure enough, when I saw the old shoe-shining man, he had a gloomy look on his face, and he was not in a simple mood.

After observing for less than an hour, so many suspicious people were discovered.

This criminal network is even larger than imagined.

"The most bizarre thing happened the night before last." Xia Haiyang looked around, his voice lowered. "I was closing my stall late, and I saw a 130 truck parked at the entrance of the alley. A few people got out of the truck, carrying sacks and walking in. After a while, the sacks moved, and there was clearly a living thing inside!"

Is it a human?

Li Xiangnan stood up suddenly and asked, "Which alley?"

"It's at the east entrance of Mianhua Hutong," Xia Haiyang said, "but I advise you not to go there rashly. It's a sinister place, and strangers will be watched the moment they enter."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden commotion.

I saw a boy about ten years old running out of the alley, followed by two burly men.

The boy's legs were covered in blood and he ran with a limp.

"Help!" the boy shouted hoarsely, his voice full of despair.

Pedestrians on the street all avoided the scene and no one came forward.

Just as the two big men were about to catch up, the boy suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Li Xiangnan was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Xia Haiyang: "Don't be impulsive! Look over there——"

Following the direction Xia Haiyang pointed, Li Xiangnan saw a jeep parked across the street, and the people in the car were watching everything coldly.

It was an army green jeep, and the license plate was mostly covered with mud.

In this moment of hesitation, the two big men had already picked up the boy and dragged him back to the alley like a chicken.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds, so fast that people couldn't react.

"See?" Xia Haiyang sighed, "The water is too deep."

Li Xiangnan's fists were clenched white.

This kind of thing happened in broad daylight!

He thought of the two begging brother and sister, and the scars on their bodies, and a surge of anger rushed to his head.
