After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 19 Helping to transport things for the first time
Cousin Gao did not sleep all night.
That night, she had a lot of thoughts.
In addition to worrying about Yang Jixia's safety, he was also filled with guilt towards the woman he had never met.
Before meeting Tong Jia, she only knew that Yang Jixia had been engaged since he was a teenager. In order to cancel the engagement, he did many things at home, but he couldn't get his family to cancel the engagement.
In the end, I had no other choice but to leave my original family and pursue freedom on my wedding night when everyone in my family had relaxed.
It can be said that Yang Jixia's determination to do this was made with his help.
She liked Yang Jixia, felt sorry for him, and wanted to have a good future with him. Naturally, she didn't want Yang Jixia to get married and have children in an orderly manner.
So, she became the person who picked up Yang Jixia from leaving home on his wedding night.
However, she never considered the position of Yang Jixia's fiancee from beginning to end.
A feudal woman who was educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood was willing to read and study Mr. Vladimir's works for Yang Jixia. She must have had some experience with Yang Jixia.
If she had met and talked with Yang Jixia on their wedding night, she didn't know whether Yang Jixia would still leave with her as originally planned.
Thinking of the girl who was willing to change and had learned progressive ideas, but now was living a displaced life because of her own selfishness, Cousin Gao felt mixed emotions.
She tossed and turned all night, and not only did her leg in plaster suffer, but Tong Jia and Tao Junle also couldn't sleep well because she kept turning over, causing the bed legs to make a "creaking, creaking" sound.
The next day, before dawn, Tao Junle had just gotten up when he heard a knock on the dormitory door.
He immediately and vigilantly woke up Tong Jia, who was still sleeping soundly. After getting Tong Jia's consent, he got up and opened the door.
Outside the door were the two He brothers. When they saw Tao Junle coming to open the door and Tong Jia half-sitting on the bed, their faces turned red.
He Zhishu tilted his head and stuffed two paper bags into Tao Junle's arms, saying, "One is breakfast, and the other is my cousin's medicine. Eat them first. We won't disturb your rest. We'll come back tomorrow morning."
The two turned and left. Just as Tao Junle was about to close the door, He Zhicheng stopped again, but didn't turn around. Instead, he stared straight ahead, stood sideways at the door, and raised his voice a little. After confirming that Tong Jia could hear him, he said, "Xiao Chong needs to hold Pei Yingxue back these days, so it's not convenient for him to come over. If you have any problems, please let us know."
"Thank you very much!" The two brothers thanked together and ran away quickly.
Tao Junle put one of the paper bags on the table and gave the other one to Tong Jia.
Tong Jia opened the paper bag and saw that there were more than fifty bottles of penicillin in syringes.
Does a fracture require such a large dose of anti-inflammatory drugs?
Tong Jia immediately became curious about what was in the other bag, so she got off the bed and checked the paper bag on the table.
As soon as he touched it, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
"It's so hot! What's in it?" Tong Jia asked while blowing on her fingers.
Tao Junle opened the paper bag and turned the bag opening towards Tong Jia. There were more than a dozen white buns inside. Judging from the color, they should all be filled with meat.
Tong Jia looked at the sky outside, then at the curtain, coughed lightly, and said, "Cousin Gao, are you awake? If you are, let me wipe your hands and brush your teeth first, and then we can eat the buns while they're still hot."
No sound came from behind the curtain, so Tong Jia called out again, "Cousin Gao?"
Still no one responded, so Tong Jia had no choice but to say, "Maybe he slept too soundly. Lele, eat two first and then go to the cafeteria. I'll wait for cousin Gao to wake up and then eat with her."
After Tao Junle finished eating the buns and left, Tong Jia just lay down on the bed when she heard someone on the other side of the curtain say, "Tong Jia, can you hand me the paper bag containing the medicine?"
Tong Jia immediately stood up and said, "Oh, oh, okay. Since you're awake, let's eat something together.
"Look at me, I've got the cart before the horse. Do you wash up first, or do you go to the bathroom first?"
After a brief silence, Cousin Gao said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom first."
With Tong Jia's help, Cousin Gao finished going to the toilet and washing up.
Tong Jia said, "Cousin Gao, you eat first. I'll go empty the toilet."
Cousin Gao nodded, her dark circles were particularly severe.
Tong Jiaquan pretended not to see it and did not forget to lock the door when he left the dormitory.
Fortunately, Tong Jia’s classes were full today, so she didn’t have to stay in the dormitory facing that gloomy man all day.
Of course, Cousin Gao’s frown only lasted for one day, and things were different the next day.
Before dawn that day, the He brothers came again.
This time they brought not two paper bags, but many small paper bags and a large bag of plaster.
With yesterday's experience, Tong Jia changed her clothes early today and waited for them. After seeing these things, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Cousin Gao just had a fracture? Does she need so much penicillin for disinfection and painkillers for the pain?"
And this bag of plaster, that's too much, right? She still has a plaster cast on her leg. Are you planning to knock it out and recast it, or wrap it around the outside?"
The He brothers were speechless for a long time before they hesitantly explained, "We just sent some things over, and we don't know how to use them.
Now that the goods have been delivered, we are leaving.”
After seeing the two people off, Tong Jia turned around and saw her cousin Gao sitting up and pulling open the curtain.
She said, "Tong Jia, you are a smart person. Although we have only been together for a short time, I think you should be able to guess my identity.
These medicines are not for my own use. I need to take them back to northern Shaanxi and give them to my comrades.
However, the inspections in several surrounding cities are very strict, so it is definitely not possible to bring the medicine directly.
So, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort.”
"You want to use plaster to seal all the medicines you took these two days on your broken leg, so that you can pass the inspection during the journey, right?" Tong Jia guessed the purpose of the plaster and asked directly.
Cousin Gao nodded.
Tong Jia was about to nod and help when she suddenly thought of a question.
She asked, "Today's painkillers in these paper bags can be wrapped in oilcloth and then covered with plaster. But what about yesterday's penicillin?
That syringe bottle is made of glass. Even if it is fixed to your leg with plaster, no one will be able to detect it.
But how are you going to get it out? If you break the plaster, won't the syringe bottle break too?
Can penicillin mixed with glass shards still be used for intravenous injection?
Cousin Gao said dejectedly, "I know this is very risky, but I can't think of a better way.
There are many comrades back at the base who are waiting for these medicines to save their lives. If they are not sent back soon, they may not be able to hold on."
Tong Jia couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Do you know where there are checkpoints along the way? How many places are there?"
Cousin Gao nodded and said, "In order to transport the medicine back to the base, our people have conducted a systematic investigation.
There are two checkpoints in Tianjin, two checkpoints in Shanghai, and four checkpoints in Jiangcheng.
Because these medicines are scarce and need to be imported from abroad, the inspection points are basically set up in places with ports.
My mission this time is to get the medicine from Tianjin and leave Tianjin safely. Other comrades from the base will meet me in the next city."
Tong Jia thought for a moment and said, "You can still apply these painkillers to your leg along with the plaster. As for the penicillin, if you trust me, I can deliver it to the designated location by other means and ensure that the penicillin bottle will not be broken."
Of course, if you’re worried, just pretend I never said anything.”
Cousin Gao looked at the syringe bottle that she had wrapped with cotton and became conflicted.
Logically, she should have melted the syringe bottle into the plaster as planned.
But these penicillins are so precious that even if their people are careful, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the penicillin bottles when breaking the plaster.
If penicillin was not sensitive to high temperatures, they could have melted the plaster and taken out the penicillin bottle.
But if you do this, it will affect the efficacy of penicillin.
In short, the only solutions they could think of were either to weaken the medicinal properties or to reduce the dosage, both of which were extremely wasteful.
Now, someone told me that she could find a safe way to deliver the medicine to the designated location. How could I not be tempted?
But she didn't know Tong Jia and didn't dare to reveal the delivery address without permission.
In order to test Tong Jia and also to preserve as much of the hard-earned penicillin as possible.
Cousin Gao did not follow the original plan and wait for comrades from the base to pick her up.
Instead, she chose to let He Zhishu and He Zhicheng take her to the designated location. Of course, the thousands of painkillers were all hidden in the plaster on her leg.
As for penicillin, she gave Tong Jia a new address, a place that would pass the checkpoint but would not encounter comrades from the base.
At that time, Gao Chong or any one of the He brothers can go to receive the goods.
As long as Tong Jia can safely deliver the penicillin to the destination, she will completely agree to let Gao Chong develop Tong Jia into the organization.
Tong Jia also expressed her understanding of Cousin Gao's caution.
But no matter how Cousin Gao asked how she planned to transport it, Tong Jia remained silent.
Finally, Cousin Gao stopped asking questions and lay quietly on the bed, waiting for tomorrow to come.
Tong Jia was so excited that she couldn't sleep because she was going to be involved in the history and deliver life-saving medicine to the organization she was proud of.
Since she couldn't sleep, Tao Junle, who slept with her, naturally couldn't sleep either.
When it was daybreak, when the He brothers came to pick up their cousin Gao, they were shocked to see the three of them.
He Zhishu asked, "Did you guys not sleep all night? Tong Jia is nervous because it's her first time on a delivery mission, so we understand. But cousin, what's wrong with you? This isn't your first time on a mission like this, either. Why can't you sleep?"
He Zhicheng nudged his eldest brother with his elbow and said, "Cousin must be worried about whether Tong Jia can perform her first mission. You should just keep quiet."
As the two of them pushed Cousin Gao away, He Zhicheng whispered to Tong Jia as they passed by, "You must ensure your own safety."
As soon as the three men left, Tong Jia took out a set of blue and black clothes and a black and white wig from under her pillow, which she had made with an awl in advance.
After carefully observing that there was no one around the dormitory, he locked the dormitory door from the inside and entered the RV with Tao Junle.
An hour later, after changing her clothes, putting on a wig, and putting on makeup in the RV, Tong Jia looked like a hunchbacked, gray-haired old lady in her sixties or seventies.
Afterwards, Tong Jia and Tao Junle left the RV, carried a basket filled with eggs, and were about to go out.
As soon as Tong Jia opened the latch of the dormitory door, Tao Junle grabbed her.
Tao Junle pulled Tong Jia's clothes and looked at her with great concern.
Looking at Tao Junle's wet eyes, Tong Jia had to explain: "Le Le, it's not that I don't want to take you. It's just that what we are going to do this time is too dangerous, and we can't leave any loopholes.
Think about it, if the two of us go together, the characteristics of the one big and the one small are too obvious. If we are tracked by someone, even if we can escape at that time, won’t we still go out together in the future?
I was going alone, so even if I was discovered, I could quickly get into the RV.
Those people can't find any trace of me, so they definitely won't stand there and wait.
Wouldn't it be safer if I just changed my appearance in the RV and came out when no one was around?"
Although Tao Junle really wanted to go with them, he had to admit that what Tong Jia said was right.
Their targets, one big and one small, were indeed too obvious.
And most importantly, Tong Jia can hide in the RV for a longer period of time by herself, but if she brings him along, the time can only be halved.
Although he was still very worried, Tao Junle still went to the cafeteria to work on time for Tong Jia's safety.
When Tong Jia walked to the checkpoint with a basket on her shoulder, she saw He Zhicheng standing not far from the checkpoint waiting to pick her up.
But maybe her makeup skills were too advanced, so she passed by He Zhicheng and He Zhicheng didn't recognize her.
Tong Jia didn't want to expose herself at this time, so she pretended not to know him and walked past him calmly.
As she took the initiative to lift the cotton cloth covering the basket, she heard two inspectors chatting.
One of them pointed at He Zhicheng and asked, "Why is that guy still here? His brother and sister-in-law have been gone for a long time. Could he be staying here on purpose to meet someone?"
Another laughed and said, "There probably isn't any ulterior motive, it's just a bit of sentimentality that makes the hero lose his temper."
"What do you mean?" The person who asked the question just now had just finished his shift and had no idea what had happened at the checkpoint an hour ago.
Another person explained, "His sister-in-law and his wife are sisters. They had a quarrel, so he left his wife at home. His sister-in-law didn't know about it at first, but she let it slip while she was waiting in line for our inspection.
His sister-in-law must be on her sister's side, and she immediately said that if she didn't go back to pick up his wife, he wouldn't have to go back to his hometown.
She was standing there, struggling over whether to submit to her brother and sister-in-law's authority or to firmly uphold her own authority as a husband.
Tong Jia smiled secretly when she heard this. Fortunately, she didn't say hello to He Zhicheng just now, otherwise, He Zhicheng would not be able to cover up his lies.
