In the face of Du Dan Dan's horrified expression, Li Dao and the others, as if their heads were not their own, smashed bottles against their heads one after another, as if the bottles were free.
The sound of "ping-pong" was incessant, and bright red blood flowed down their skin and onto the ground.
Du Dan Dan finally couldn't help but shout, "Okay, get out!"
Li Dao and the others, as if granted amnesty, immediately scrambled towards the exit, afraid that if they slowed down even a step, Du Dan Dan would change her mind.
Yang Qian Li blocked the way of the few, and under their shocked gazes, he counted out a few hundred yuan from his bag and threw it on the ground, pointing at his own head.
Li Dao and the others were surprised. They nodded and bowed, picking up the few banknotes and disappearing out the door at an exaggerated speed.
“Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Yang Qian Li looked at the few young men and asked softly.
"No, we're fine." Lou Wang and the others shook their heads. Those people were standard old hands, they looked fierce, but they were all just minor wounds.
"Du Tongxue, Nan Ge asked me to tell you something!" Yang Qian Li said to Du Dan Dan with a strange look on his face.
“Ah?”
Du Dan Dan was a bit bewildered.
Yang Qian Li coughed, imitating Su Ping Nan's usual low voice, "Tell that little girl, if you call me brother, then call me brother, don't add 'bad guy' to it."
......
As the weather grew colder, the New Year's atmosphere began to thicken. In this era, it wasn't like later generations, where travel was so convenient, people would usually go home to reunite a few days in advance.
Ertai Town was small, so even though Ertai Station was a small station, the stationmaster, Li Yuan Guang, was considered a big shot locally.
During the holidays, he would usually bring his family back to his old mother's house in Wu City a few days earlier. This year was a bit different, however. When he and his family, carrying their luggage and bags, went out, they saw Li Zhi Yu at the freight station, with a well-dressed, capable young man behind him.
“Stationmaster Li, this is Manager Su of Jinshui Food,” Li Zhi Yu introduced.
Li Yuan Guang knew about Jinshui Food. Recently, this kid Li Zhi Yu had been running to his house a lot, arranging trucks for this company. He heard that the big boss was from Wu City, and he was very well-connected.
The Manager Su handed him a business card with both hands. Li Yuan Guang took it and looked at it.
Su Wen Wen, Manager, Jinshui Food Company Limited.
The back said a sentence, "Don't let the youth slip away in vain."
This was something Su Wen Wen and Su Ping Nan learned. Su Ping Nan’s business card only had a phone number and this sentence on the back, Su Wen Wen and the others thought it was very stylish, so they all followed suit. As a result, the business cards of Jinshui’s high-level management all had this sentence printed on the back now.
“Manager Su is quite promising. What can I help you with?”
Li Yuan Guang looked at the young Su Wen Wen in front of him, his tone sincere.
Su Wen Wen smiled, “Stationmaster Li is busy on a daily basis, and Jinshui Company can’t be of much help. I heard from Li Zhi Yu that you are going back to Wu City. Jinshui Company has some influence there, so I came to greet you personally.” Su Wen Wen waved his hand, and a brand new black off-road vehicle immediately drove over and stopped beside them. A tall and thin young man got out.
Su Wen Wen continued, “Stationmaster Li, this car is our Su Zong's, he arranged it immediately knowing you weren’t traveling easily. The driver is called Xiao Wu.”
Before Li Yuan Guang could react, the driver, Xiao Wu, smiled at him and stood behind him with his hands clasped.
“Just tell him whatever you need. When you get to Wu City, Su Zong has also arranged gifts for your mother. Xiao Wu knows where it is and he will take care of it.”
Su Wen Wen handed Xiao Wu a golden card marked Jinshui Pavilion 003.
“Stationmaster Li’s family is large, I’ve left my card for Jinshui Pavilion with Xiao Wu. If you have any dinner appointments, just let him know.”
Water is clearest when there is no fish. Li Yuan Guang had seen a lot of the world and its ways. Li Zhi Yu had also been very filial in the past, so he didn't make a fuss about it. He smiled and politely accepted it.
The car was smooth and the driver didn’t talk much. Li Yuan Guang looked at his lively daughter listening to music in the car and the full trunk of mountain goods he had brought, he nodded. It seemed like he would have to leave more trucks for Jinshui next year. They were too thoughtful and gave him so much face.
The car was approaching Wu City, and from afar Li Yuan Guang saw another off-road vehicle of the same model waiting there. After Xiao Wu got out of the car, he moved a few boxes of Moutai and Chinese cigarettes into the car.
Xiao Wu wiped his sweat and said to him, “Stationmaster Li, Su Zong said that you will have social events during the New Year. You don’t lack mountain goods, and cigarettes and alcohol are hard to get in Wu City, so he left some for you.”
When they arrived in Wu City, Xiao Wu helped carry the things upstairs. As he left, he said with a smile, "Stationmaster Li, there will be cars parked downstairs these days. Just call out if you need one."
Li Yuan Guang was just a stationmaster in a small town, he hadn’t received such high-level treatment before. He felt a little embarrassed, but his wife was overjoyed and felt like she had gained face in front of the whole family. She kept nodding in agreement.
Li Yuan Guang was the second child in his family. His eldest brother, Li Yuan Jie, was a small section chief in the city's agricultural bureau, and he also had some real power. Usually, during the New Year, the eldest brother would be in charge of arrangements. Seeing how Li Yuan Guang was being treated so well today, he felt a little embarrassed. Though he didn’t show it, his face was a little unpleasant.
“Second Brother, who is your friend? Such a big hand!” The youngest brother, Li Yuan Ji, was flipping through the Moutai and cigarettes, and exclaimed in amazement.
“Just an ordinary friend, ordinary friend, he’s just a little enthusiastic.” Li Yuan Guang laughed, his face full of smiles, but in his heart, he was thinking, after the New Year, should I let Li Zhi Yu handle more of the cargo transportation?
