When Tong Jia and Tao Junle returned, Yang Jixia and Tian Ma were talking in the yard. When they saw them come back, they looked at them with great concern.

Tian Ma took the initiative to close the door, and Yang Jixia asked, "Did you see it?"

Tong Jia nodded and said, "I saw it. Why are you all standing in the yard?"

Yang Jixia said, "Mother Tian used the mugwort she brought back from the hospital to fumigate the entire building, inside and outside. We stood in the yard to get some fresh air. How's it going over there?"

Tong Jia said: "Rong Xinzhi admitted that Hu Huihuang was the second-in-command of the stronghold, and said that when they left the stronghold, they took away a large number of weapons.

However, I cannot guarantee whether her words are credible.

Xiao Kong said that this would be our future contact point. Before we were sure of her and Hu Huihuang's identities, we should not bring her back for the time being, so he let her go back with Hu Huihuang and Hu Liushi.

Um...don't worry about her for now. When will Lao Guo and the others arrive in the provincial capital?"

"What? Do you have something to do with them?" Yang Jixia asked in confusion.

Tong Jia looked around and saw that Tian Ma and Tao Junle went to stand at the front door and guard the back door respectively.

After seeing the two of them look outside and nod at them, Tong Jia said, "When I came back, I waited at the door of the patrol room and saw Hu Huihuang winking at a scoundrel on the street. I felt something was wrong, so I went over to take a look.

The man rented a house on Huaiyin Road to use as a warehouse. The house had a pointed roof and a skylight on the side. I asked Lele to climb up and take a look. It was full of big boxes.

I feel that the things inside should be the gold, silver, jewelry, guns and ammunition that Hu Huihuang took away from the mountain stronghold.

Although I can also tell Xiao Kong, but if he takes people with him, those things will become a bargain for the police station.

Good things should be kept within the family. Our organization is going through a difficult time right now.

If Lao Guo could arrive in the next two days, we could take advantage of those people's carelessness and secretly transport those things away to support our organization."

On the way back from the police station, Tong Jia had already disguised herself and rented a house on Huaiyin Road. The house was not very big, but it was big enough to accommodate the boxes hanging outside the RV window and half of the gold she had exchanged in advance in her previous life.

It’s not that she is stingy and unwilling to give her all to support the organization that is in the most difficult time.

The truth is that she was worried that the purity and price of gold bars from different banks and companies were different, so she bought them all separately, half at the bank and half at different gold brand stores.

She contributed all the gold bars with the logos of gold brand stores. It didn’t matter if they had brand words on them, after all, some brands do exist now.

But the gold bars bought from the bank were different. They all had the bank’s logo on them, which was difficult to explain, so Tong Jia kept them.

She even removed the outer packaging of some food and drinks in the RV, leaving only the bagged packaging inside, making people think they were imported food. She found a box to put them in. No matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is still meat.

Of course, for the safety of the gold and weapons, she did not actually leave everything in the house she rented.

I just tried putting it in, confirmed it would fit, then locked the door and came back.

Just like in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the longer this matter is delayed, the more difficult it will be to ship it out.

Now is the ideal time to ship it out.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and basically all functional departments are in a state of slackness, the kind that can get away with anything by giving benefits.

In addition, the police station was investigating Hu Huihuang's affairs, and someone was watching them at all times. They didn't dare to go to the cellar secret room in the yard openly, so they wouldn't discover that something was missing.

So, if you ask who Tong Jia wants to see the most now, it must be Guo Xin.

When Yang Jixia heard Tong Jia say that, he looked at her very formally and then said, "I heard that before in Tianjin, you also accidentally discovered a cave with gold and supplies?

Later in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, you were always the fastest to find things.

Now that we have arrived in the provincial capital, you were the first to discover scarce supplies such as weapons and gold.

You are so lucky, aren't you?

It seems that the fortune teller's words were not false. If he hadn't said that you were destined to be blessed with great fortune, my mother wouldn't have arranged a marriage for us so early..."

“Bah… You’re an organized person, don’t blindly believe what a fortune teller says.

What does it mean to be blessed with good fortune? If that were the case, how could I escape the fate of marrying into your family? You don't know how miserable it is to be your daughter-in-law, but I do.

After divorcing you and completely cutting off all ties with your family, I will be blessed with great fortune.

Besides, whether in Tianjin, Shanghai, or the provincial capital, those things were already there. It was because of my carefulness and attentiveness that I became the first person to discover them.

What does this have to do with luck?

According to what you said, we don't need to bother to carry out any tasks in the future. We can find a few fortune tellers to calculate the fate of all Chinese people to see who has the best fate, and let that person be the person in charge. Wouldn't that make the country rich and the people strong?

You better stop spouting those feudal superstitious words." Tong Jia knew that she would have a chance to "discover" something good in the future, so she simply took advantage of the moment to shut Yang Jixia up.

Although the two have divorced, whenever the topic of running away from marriage comes up, Yang Jixia feels inferior to Tong Jia.

I couldn't say what I wanted to say anymore, so I could only shut my mouth in disappointment.

Seeing that he was silent, Tong Jia asked again: "Don't be silent, when will Lao Guo come over?"

Yang Jixia pursed his lips and said, "When I left Shanghai, I agreed with him that we would start doing something in Shanghai two days after we left, to find something for those superiors to do.

We don't have that much assets in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and things are very tense there right now. It won't be good to stay there for too long.

What I agreed with him was that we would arrive in the provincial capital no later than the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Originally, Xiao Kong was going to wait for him at the train station these few days, but Hu Huihuang's incident happened suddenly, so he probably didn't have time to go.

I have other things to do, so I'll have Tian Ma pick him up at the train station in the next few days."

Although the place where they live now is relatively close to the train station, it is only in one direction. If they don’t want to miss it, they still have to wait at the station entrance.

Tong Jia nodded and said, "I hope Lao Guo will arrive soon.

By the way, didn’t Hu Huihuang meet Rong Xinhua? Can you find Rong Xinhua’s residence now?

Although she had never met the old lady of the Rong family, she remembered that Grandma Rong had once said that she felt guilty towards her parents. It seemed that she had no feelings for her brothers and sisters, but she still had attachment to her parents.

In that case, I have to give the old lady of the Rong family a ride on her behalf.

Yang Jixia shook his head and said, "Rong Xinhua is very cautious and always takes his men in circles, so our men have been left behind.

But we can be sure that he is now in the provincial capital, and it is only a matter of time before we find him."

Tong Jia lowered her head, thinking of her parents who had passed away suddenly in her previous life and Grandma Rong, who had never seen her parents again after getting married. She said with some sadness, "I know it's only a matter of time before I find him. I'm just worried... worried... that Mom... won't be able to wait any longer."

She spoke the following words in a very low voice. She still had some psychological barriers to the fact that the old lady of Guan Rong's family called her mother. She always felt as if they were of a different generation.

Her voice was soft, but because the distance was close, Yang Jixia still heard it.

This also reminded him of the old lady of the Yang family who was rumored to be paralyzed in bed because she couldn't bear the blow of him leaving home, and for a moment he felt a sense of empathy.

But he didn't know what to say, as the provincial capital was really short of manpower right now.

In addition to Xiao Kong and Lao Fang who are confirmed to be trustworthy, there are indeed a few other people, but the loyalty of these people is uncertain at present, and he and Guo Xin need to test and confirm them before making any decision.

It was already very difficult to find Xiao Kong to keep an eye on Rong Xinzhi, and he didn't dare to use those people who might have betrayed him before to help find Rong Xinhua's whereabouts.

If the two sides collude, he might be betrayed by a traitor before he can restore the organization in the provincial capital.

Both of them stared at the ground in silence, neither speaking for a long time.

Tao Junle, who was guarding the back door, saw that the two hadn't spoken for a long time and didn't seem to be communicating in Morse code. So he walked over to Tong Jia and gestured to her in sign language: "I'm hungry."

Tong Jia asked, "When did Tian Ma smoke the house? Can we go in now? Lele is hungry. Have you cooked? If not, I'll make it now."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and now there is nowhere to buy food if I want to go out.

Yang Jixia also realized that it was indeed time for dinner.

Several people walked towards the front door together, and saw that Tian Ma used an octagonal table as a working surface and rolled out the dough on it with great effort.

Seeing the three people come in, Tian Ma said: "I was afraid of delaying your meal, and I was also afraid that I would go to the kitchen and not hear any movement at the door, so I came directly here to roll the noodles.

There is no time now, so I will just roll some noodles and cook them.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let's make dumplings then."

Among the three, only Tong Jia is picky about food, but she won't be petty with Tian Ma. She usually eats whatever Tian Ma cooks. If it tastes good, she eats more, and if it doesn't suit her taste, she eats less, and then she takes snacks from the RV.

It was the same this time. Seeing that Tian Ma had finished rolling out the dough and started cutting it, Tong Jia took Tao Junle to the kitchen. One of them washed the pot and the other chopped firewood. On the contrary, Yang Jixia seemed to have nothing to do.

Sometimes people are afraid of being criticized, otherwise why is there the old saying "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear"?

Tong Jiacai mentioned Guo Xin's matter at noon, and during lunch, he told Tian Ma about going to the train station to wait for Guo Xin.

Tian Ma herself didn't expect that when she walked to the train station entrance, she saw Guo Xin coming out of the train station with two people.

When Tong Jia saw that there were only two people around Guo Xin, she felt overwhelmed.

There are only four of us, including Yang Jixia. How can we transport so many things?

After she expressed her thoughts with a bitter face, Guo Xin burst into laughter.

He said: "I brought more than two people with me this time, but the situation in the provincial capital is still unclear, and I can't let everyone come forward with me.

The three of us were the main force, and the others arrived in the provincial capital in two groups. One group came with us, but after leaving the train station, they went to find a place to stay on their own.

Let's go and take a look at the things Comrade Tong Jia found tonight. If we have enough manpower, we can transport them away tonight.

If we don’t have enough manpower, we’ll wait for the new group to arrive tomorrow before transporting the goods.”

"Okay, let's go and take a look at it in the evening." Tong Jia felt a lot more relieved after hearing this.

When it comes to getting things done, there’s strength in numbers.

Guo Xin took a sip of tea, stood up, looked around the store, and asked, "Is this our future contact point? Have you decided on a suitable business?"

"Steamed bun shop." Tong Jia said directly.

"Steamed bun shop?" Yang Jixia and Guo Xin looked at Tong Jia in confusion, waiting for Tong Jia to explain why he opened a steamed bun shop.

Tong Jia said: "This location is close to the train station and has a large flow of people, making it very suitable for a hotel or restaurant.

But the rooms upstairs are not big, and there is no sewer or drainage system. If we really run a hotel, we will have too much to do every day.

Moreover, if business is not good and you can't sustain it but keep it open, it will easily arouse suspicion. If business is good and there are often different people coming and going, it will also be dangerous for us.

After all, if they want to stay in the hotel or book a room for a longer period of time, it would be difficult for us to refuse. It would be troublesome if someone took advantage of this to observe us.

What about a restaurant? With just our cooking skills and no signature dishes, we definitely can't open one.

If you ask a chef to cook, there is a possibility of leakage at any time, and the risk is too high.

It’s different in the bun shop. The fillings mixed by Tian Ma taste good, and we can make them ourselves.

You can eat the hot buns in the store or buy them and take them to the station to eat. All the staff are mobile, so they can both get information and do business to make money.

Even if we add a few dishes occasionally, we should focus on cold dishes, pickles and home-cooked dishes.

In this way, we don't need a private room. The second floor can be occupied by you, Lao Guo, and the two brothers you brought with you, and the rest of us will still live in the bungalow at the back.

What do you think of this arrangement?"

Guo Xin, Yang Jixia, Tian Ma, and the other two people Guo Xin brought with him thought about it for a while and felt that Tong Jia's idea was very good.

Finally, it was Guo Xin who said, "Since you have analyzed all the aspects, let's try opening a bun shop.

However, the business can only open after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

By the way, I thought we had to celebrate the New Year in the provincial capital first, and you could come and join us after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?

Why are you in the provincial capital now? Didn't you stay at home for a few more days?"

Yang Jixia smiled and cried for a while, then said, "As for us, one of us can't find home, and the other hasn't even returned home yet!"

"Ah? What happened?" Guo Xin asked with concern.

Yang Jixia told them everything that had happened along the way, and Guo Xin frowned as he listened.
