"That's right, I've been begged by others, so I'm sorry not to help you." Lu Ming pretended to have a sad face.

"Yes, they are the buyers with the highest bid." Ning Zetao laughed.

Lu Ming secretly smiled, but he didn't say anything. This time, Mr. Dong didn't pay a single coin. He paid for it all, and it was a one-stop service.

"Brother, do you think our goods will go inland or by sea?" Lu Ming asked pretendingly like a businessman.

"If you want to be safe, you should take the inland river channel. If you want to be fast, you should take the sea route. However, you have to bear some risks." Ning Zetao said.

"What are the specific risks of going by sea?" Lu Ming asked.

"Weather, who knows when God will send you a storm. Besides, when you are sailing at sea, you are also afraid of hitting the rocks. Anyway, there will be some, big or small, more or less, and I won't be able to tell you for a while." Ning Zetao said.

Caobang's main business is mainly distributed on both sides of the canal, and there are also some businesses along the Yangtze River. However, in recent years, Caobang has expanded its business scope, engaged in overseas smuggling, and made huge profits, so it also traveled a lot by sea.

"We'll decide at that time." Lu Ming said.

"In fact, there are many obstacles to walking inland rivers, mainly because there are too many checkpoints along the way, and I don't know if your goods have procedures." Ning Zetao said.

"I can go through the formalities. That's no problem. In addition, I asked you to help me get the ammunition and medicine as quickly as possible." Lu Ming said.

"It's too difficult. Now the government's control is increasing, and the market is seriously out of stock. It's not easy to get many things like before. You have to be in a hurry, otherwise you can smuggle a batch from overseas, but it won't cost much." Less time." Ning Zetao complained.

"It's running out of time, I'll think of another way." Lu Ming thought for a while.

"Okay, the boat is ready-made, you can use it anytime, I have already called the boss of the boat and the sailors to talk about it." Ning Zetao said.

After studying the matter, Lu Ming went to visit the old lady, and then returned to Ning Zetao.

The maids had already prepared the meals, and Mingzhu and Ning Xiner also ate with them.

Lu Ming and Ning Zetao drank the rice wine brewed at home, and Mingzhu also drank together.

"Is Lao Dong doing well with you?" Ning Zetao asked.

"It's pretty good, and I'm going to marry a wife soon." Lu Ming laughed.

"Really? He said a long time ago that he should marry a wife and live in a small family of his own, but he just refused to listen." Ning Zetao said cheerfully.

"Brother Dong is going to marry a wife? How does your sister-in-law look?" Ning Xiner asked curiously.

"He is very beautiful and young, he looks only a few years older than us." Mingzhu laughed.

"He is an old cow eating young grass." Ning Zetao laughed.

"You can't say that. Old Dong just looks mature, but he's not really old." Lu Ming said.

"Mingzhu, have you seen Brother Dong's wife?" Ning Xiner asked.

"I see, I took them to buy clothes yesterday, and bought some jewelry and cosmetics for Mrs. Dong. She really likes it." Mingzhu laughed.

"Someday you take me to see my sister-in-law, I will also express it." Ning Xiner said.

"Why someday, let's go back with Lu Ming in a while, and we can see Mrs. Dong." Mingzhu immediately made a decision.

"That's right, why am I so stupid, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day." Ning Xiner laughed.

After dinner, Ning Xiner drove, Mingzhu got into Lu Ming's car, and then they went back to Wanguo Apartment together.

The three came to Mr. Dong's room and knocked on the door. When Mr. Dong saw Ning Xiner, he was surprised and said, "Sister Xiner, why are you here?"

Ning Xin'er said: "Brother Dong, you are really unreasonable in doing this. You secretly hide here without letting us know. I only heard about Mingzhu recently. You can hide it yourself, sister-in-law, you hide it too." , this is wrong."

Mr. Dong smiled and said, "Isn't this a special situation for me, please forgive me, sister."

The three of them entered the room, Mr. Dong introduced Ning Xiner to An Yi, and then said with a smile: "Their gang has helped us a lot."

"That can't be called helping, it's our duty. We like to do business with Brother Dong. Brother Dong is the most forthright and kind."

As Ning Xiner said, she took out an exquisite small box from her bag and handed it to An Yi.

An Yi didn't dare to accept it, Mr. Dong said: "An Yi, accept it, this is the girl's wish."

An Yi took it hesitantly, and Ning Xiner motioned her to open it.

An Yi opened the box, looked at the contents, and couldn't help opening her mouth wide.

It's really beautiful, it's a crystal + gold necklace, Mingzhu accompanied her to Wing On Department Store yesterday to buy the most expensive necklace there, it's not as good as this one.

"No, no, it's too expensive." An Yi closed the box, and was about to hand it to Ning Xiner, shouting over and over again.

"Sister-in-law, this is the first time I've met you, and you're going to get married again. Before you came, my brother told me that this gift was given to you and Brother Dong by our brothers and sisters. It's for two people, not you alone." people."

Ning Xiner's rhetoric made An Yi embarrassed, so she could only look at Mr. Dong, asking him to make a statement.

Mr. Dong showed embarrassment and looked at Mingzhu in embarrassment, hoping that Mingzhu would say something.

Mingzhu smiled and said, "Brother Dong, sister-in-law, don't be too polite. My elder brother never accepts the gifts sent out. If you don't accept them, we won't be able to explain to my elder brother when we go back."

Seeing the situation, Lu Ming couldn't get in the way, so it's better not to get involved, so he quietly backed out and returned to his room.

Lu Ming was still thinking about two things, one was to get Liu Xin and Zhao Long to get rid of Xiao Chu, and the other was to get Cao Gang to help deliver the goods.

He has to think carefully about what else needs to be paid attention to in each link. There can be no mistakes in these two matters, even if it is an omission in detail.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Ming opened the door and saw that it was An Yi.

He was a little surprised: "what's the matter with you?"

"I think I owe you an apology for my previous misunderstanding." An Yi said.

"This matter has been settled, there is no need to apologize, in your position, it is normal to have such a misunderstanding." Lu Ming invited An Yi to come in, and then made a cup of tea for her.

"I always feel that you have done too much for us, and I am a little embarrassed. If I don't apologize to you again, I feel that my psychological burden is too heavy." An Yi said.

"You are wrong. It's not that I have done too much for you, but that you have done too much. What I do is the same as what you do, but I do too little." Lu Ming laughed. .

"It makes sense for you to say that. It shows that you are very enlightened, which proves that my apology is more worthwhile." An Yi smiled.

"Why don't you talk to Sister Mingzhu?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.

"The two of them are talking about the family life with old Dong. I can't get in, so I just want to come over and talk to you." An Yi smiled.

"You still find it difficult to communicate with the bourgeois lady?" Lu Ming laughed.

"No, it's mainly because I'm not familiar with it. It will be fine when I get familiar with it in the future. Ning Xin'er just sent a very expensive gift on behalf of her elder brother. I don't even know what to say." An Yi said.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "He is sincere, so you don't have to think too much. If it is not suitable, I will definitely stop it. You can rest assured."

An Yi smiled and didn't mention it again.She felt that Lu Ming was closer. It was strange that in the past two days, she really treated Lu Ming as her cousin.

Although the Mingzhu sisters are very warm and sincere towards others, they still have the air of a young lady. An Yi may not be used to it.

"Lu Ming, can I go back with your transport team in a few days?" An Yi asked shyly.

"Go back? Go back to the base?" Lu Ming said in surprise.

"Well, I want to go back and fight with my comrades. I would rather eat steamed buns every day and drink wild vegetable soup without oil, water or salt, than live a life of upper class here. Every day I think of the comrades there I don't feel good about this situation." An Yi said sadly.

"If you want to go back, you should ask your superior for approval. If your superior approves, of course I can escort you back safely. But it is not easy to carry out work here."

Lu Ming felt that An Yi underestimated the meaning of underground work.
