Niu Xiaoqiang's depression was immediately swept away, and he said in surprise: "The eldest sister is so good to me!"

Then he shook his head again and again: "But the motorcycle is too expensive, it costs thousands, I can't let her spend so much money, otherwise her mother-in-law's side will not be able to explain, and I have a bicycle myself, which is very convenient to ride, you help me tell her, just say that I have received her heart, don't give this gift." ”

After bidding farewell to Wang Xiaoshuang, Niu Xiaoqiang rushed to the wharf of Aoshan Town, ready to explain the transportation of goods to Lao Wang.

The deputy section chief Chen came up with a lot of tricks, but they were all resolved by Niu Xiaoqiang. But Niu Xiaoqiang is still not at ease, he feels that the only place where the other party may start is the boat he bought for the New Year.

As early as when he completely tore his face with the other party, Niu Xiaoqiang told Lao Wang that he must be cautious when transporting, especially in the waterway in Yuyang County, once he finds that someone wants to intercept the cargo ship, or there are other ships who want to approach the cargo ship, don't bother with the other party, just increase the horsepower and continue to sail.

In the past 20 days, Lao Wang has not encountered the situation Niu Xiaoqiang said, and there have been no problems with the transportation of goods.

However, Niu Xiaoqiang is not very relieved, the fact that the other party has not made a move before does not mean that they will not make a move in the future. In order to reduce the loss of goods, Niu Xiaoqiang felt that it was better to change his strategy.

During the Chinese New Year, he was intercepted with 3,000 yuan of goods, and Niu Xiaoqiang didn't plan to ask for that batch of goods. Even if he went to the door to ask for it, it was impossible to get it back, so why bother to ask for it?

Now it is transported by freighter, the frequency is once every three days, and the total amount of goods transported each time is about 120 tons, worth 450,000 or 50,000. If it falls into the hands of the other party, the losses will be somewhat heavy. If the other party also detains the ship, the loss will be even greater.

When Niu Xiaoqiang was thinking about this, Lao Wang's voice came from afar: "Brother Xiaoqiang, I was about to go to you, but I didn't expect to bump into you on the road, what a coincidence." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang looked up and saw that Lao Wang was sweating and looked anxious. He knew what was going on at a glance, "Uncle Wang, did you encounter the situation I said when you were transporting goods today?"

Lao Wang nodded: "The day before yesterday, when I passed by the waterway over the county seat, there was a sailing ship that wanted to intercept us, and when I saw that the situation was wrong, I immediately increased my horsepower and sailed at full speed, but the other party did not catch up." ”

The new ship was equipped with a twelve-cylinder diesel engine, which was much more powerful than the previous one, and even if the ship was full, it would be difficult for other small boats to keep up.

Lao Wang wiped his sweat and asked cautiously: "Brother Xiaoqiang, if the other party continues to intercept, we will have an accident sooner or later, what do you say we should do?"

Lao Wang is very satisfied with his current job, he only runs once every three days, but his salary is not reduced, it is much better than farming before, he doesn't want to lose such a good job.

Even if you need his help when you place the goods, this is not too tiring. Anyway, it is only loaded and unloaded once every three days, so you can slow down and work, so you don't need to be in a hurry. Several porters are strong men, everyone is very hardworking, and they are acquaintances with each other, and no one is lazy.

Niu Xiaoqiang pulled Lao Wang towards the dock, and said as he walked: "I have already thought of countermeasures, in the future, you will change the time of transportation, and set off at midnight every day, the other party will not even see the boat, and when they notice that we have changed the transportation time, I have other ways to deal with it." ”

Lao Wang was a little relieved, and said curiously: "What else can you do?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and raised the paint and canvas he was carrying: "I'm going to write a new name and stick them on the side of the ship, so that I can change the original name of the cargo ship, even if the other party sees it, he won't pay attention to it." ”

The ship's side is printed with the words "Finless Porpoise", which was the original name of the ship. If Niu Xiaoqiang uses a new name to cover the three words of the finless porpoise, he will be able to hide from the world.

Lao Wang laughed and said: "You still have a way, those rabbit cubs are looking for the wrong opponent." ”

The two boarded the ship together, and with the help of several porters, Niu Xiaoqiang quickly cut the canvas and wrote the three big characters "Red Flag" on it.

In order to make the color of the canvas match the appearance of the hull, Niu Xiaoqiang also painted the canvas with paint of the same color as the hull and made it old.

Several people worked together to nail the canvas to the place where the name of the cargo ship was printed. If you don't come close to you and take a closer look, you won't be able to find the mystery of the ship's name.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked Lao Wang to find a torn sheet and cover the canvas, and then instructed: "In the future, you must cover the canvas before docking, so that others will not see our cat, and only when sailing can the new name on the canvas be revealed." ”

Lao Wang nodded again and again: "No problem, we will definitely pay attention." ”

In order to change the appearance of the cargo ship, Niu Xiaoqiang asked a few people to go to the river and cut a long tree trunk.

He painted the trunk of the tree with paint, turned his head and smiled at Lao Wang, "After you set off in the future, tie this trunk to the hold of the ship, and put it down before docking, so that the appearance of the cargo ship will change, and the other party will not be able to recognize it, so that you will be safer." ”

Lao Wang and several porters all laughed, and they all praised Niu Xiaoqiang for the very good installation of this mechanism.

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed a few times with a few people, and said the last precautions: "When you return to Aoshan Town in the future, don't dock the boat at the dock, there are many people here, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people sent by the other party to spy on it. ”

Lao Wang nodded while listening, and when Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing: "Alas, they are also parents and officials, why can't these people learn from our Township Chief Wu? If we can all think about the common people like Township Chief Wu, do we still need to fight guerrillas like the Eighth Route Army?"

Several other porters nodded in agreement, as long as it was a person from Gufeng Township, there was no one who would not give Wu Ping a thumbs up. This female township chief is indeed a good cadre dedicated to the people, and anyone who sees it will be convinced.

Niu Xiaoqiang heard Lao Wang mention Wu Ping, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wang, what has Township Chief Wu been busy with lately?"

Although Lao Wang participated in the new job, because he was only separated by a river and he had a boat, he often went back to the farm to wander around, and he was still very well informed.
