Chapter 161: Getting Bullets and Guns to Make Trouble
Li Kailang drove back to the steel rolling mill.

Security guard Lao Wang frowned when he saw that Li Kailang's car was returning a little late.

"Comrade, why are you back so late?"

Li Kailang leaned his head out of the cab and handed over a task list.

"I went on a long trip yesterday and delivered a batch of important supplies, so I came back late today."

Security guard Lao Wang took the task list and looked at it carefully with squinted eyes.

He nodded to show his understanding.

Judging from the time and route on the task list, Li Kailang did run a long distance yesterday.

"Comrade, why does your car have so many potholes?" Lao Wang suddenly asked, pointing at some dents on the car body.

Upon hearing this, Li Kailang quickly climbed out from the front of the car and looked at the place where Lao Wang pointed. He smiled bitterly and explained:
"Hey, I met some villagers who were making trouble on the road. They wanted to rob me. Fortunately, I'm a good driver. They couldn't stop me, so they threw stones at the car."

Lao Wang frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with this matter.

"Which villagers dared to cause trouble? Tell us where you encountered them so that we can report them and handle the matter."

Li Kailang thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember exactly where it is, but it's far away from our factory and we can't reach it."

Lao Wang sighed and said helplessly: "Is that so! I really can't do anything about it! But, tell me the place so I can report it."

Li Kailang then gave a rough location.

Lao Wang nodded and said that he would record it and report it to the relevant departments.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrade. You can go in!" Lao Wang waved his hand, indicating that Li Kailang could go in.

Li Kailang nodded and drove into the steel rolling mill.

Arriving at the transport team's parking lot, it was filled with all kinds of transport vehicles.
Li Kailang looked at his GAZ truck. There were dozens of dents on the body of the truck, but fortunately they were not deep and did not affect daily transportation.

"It's a bit ugly, but fortunately it won't affect transportation. Let's fix the tire first."

One of the tires burst, and Li Kailang took the opportunity to repair the tire while no one was around.

When entering the factory, he deliberately concealed the fact that he had encountered robbers.

He fired more than 10 magazines and more than 200 bullets, and the bullet marks were clearly visible.

To be honest, he really didn't know how to explain the source of these bullets.

After all, this is far more than the number of bullets provided by the gun arsenal.

If the bullet extends a little, it can be explained, but if it extends too much, it cannot be explained.

After a while, Li Kailang completed the initial repair of the tire and only needed to wait for the vulcanization reaction to be completed.

"It's just the right time to return the gun. I have to replenish these 60 rounds of bullets. It's a pity! I didn't have many bullets to begin with. Fortunately, I didn't count the bullets from the steel mill."

In order to put on a good show, Li Kailang did not intend to hide the bullet to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Armory.

Under the dim light, Uncle Ding sat in a corner, seemingly taking a nap.

Li Kailang gently opened the door and walked in, "Uncle Ding, I'm here to return the gun!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Ding opened his eyes and looked at Li Kailang pretending to be angry.

"You are such a noisy kid, you are all the same as me!"

Li Kailang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, Uncle Ding is right!"

"Hey! Hurry up, hand over your guns and get out of here!"

After saying that, Uncle Ding stretched out his hand to signal for handing over the gun.

Li Kailang quickly handed over the pistol in his hand.

Uncle Ding took the pistol, stroked it carefully, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He looked up at Li Kailang with a hint of doubt in his eyes:
"Did something happen to you, kid?"

"No! What could possibly happen to me!"

Li Kailang's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and replied nonchalantly.

Uncle Ding smiled lightly and shook his head: "You are still a little naive, did you lie to me? You told me about the gun."

He pointed at the gun, pointing out the subtle changes one by one.

"Look at the barrel, it's a little bent, the chamber isn't straight, and the firing pin is loose. It must have been struck many times."

As he spoke, Uncle Ding demonstrated it twice.

Li Kailang knew something was wrong, but he still tried to cover it up: "That's really not the case!"

Uncle Ding did not give him another chance and looked at him seriously:
"Don't pretend. I've been in this gun room for so long. I've touched every gun I've ever seen. Your gun wouldn't have behaved like this unless you fired 60 rounds of ammunition in a row."

"Tell me the truth, don't try to lie to me!"

Uncle Ding can make such a judgment based on his long-term maintenance of firearms.

Uncle Ding knew the condition of most, if not all, of the guns in the armory.

Plus, the guns in the armory are not new, so small changes cannot be seen, but the changes to Li Kailang's gun are a bit big.

After hearing what Uncle Ding said, Li Kailang knew he couldn't hide it, so he had to confess everything.

"This... Uncle Ding, to be honest, I ran into a group of robbers on the road..."

After listening to Li Kailang's narration, Uncle Ding looked at him with a worried look on his face: "Xiao Li, are you okay?"

Li Kailang shook his head and said firmly: "How could I be in trouble? If I was in trouble, I wouldn't be standing in front of you."

Uncle Ding nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "That's true. You brothers, your ability to save your lives is first-rate."

As he spoke, Uncle Ding handed 60 bullets to Li Kailang.

"Take all these bullets. You've already used up all your stock of bullets, how can you not keep some?"

"You've used up all your bullets, how can you not keep some?"

Li Kailang quickly waved his hands and refused, "Uncle Ding, how can this be possible? If I take this bullet, you will have a hard time explaining it later!"

Li Kailang was worried that if he took the bullet, he would be discovered.

"Just take it when I tell you to. What are you afraid of? Uncle Ding, I've been here for so long, how could I not have some reserves?" Uncle Ding pretended to be angry.

"Uncle Ding has provided you with the few bullets you have. Stop fussing and take them!"

"Really? Then I'll really take it." Li Kailang was overjoyed.

"Hurry up and take it, don't be so fussy."

"Thank you, Uncle Ding!"

Li Kailang took the bullets. He didn't have many bullets, so he saved as much as he could.

As high-spirited and ambitious as they were when shooting, they are as pitiful now.

Suddenly, Li Kailang remembered something and looked up at Uncle Ding:
"Uncle Ding, do you have any extra bullets? I want to buy some."

Uncle Ding looked at Li Kailang and motioned for him to continue.

"Uncle Ding, do you have any extra bullets? I want to buy some."

Uncle Ding wondered, "Buy, aren't these enough bullets?"

Li Kailang couldn't believe it: "Enough? Uncle Ding, are you kidding me? How can this be enough? It will be gone in a little while!"

Li Kailang suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth.

Uncle Ding pointed at Li Kailang and said unhappily, "Oh, boy, it seems you've been shooting a lot!"

"Hey, hey!"

Being discovered, Li Kailang smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, tell me, how many bullets do you want?"

"How much more do you want? Of course the more the better!" Li Kailang affirmed.

Uncle Ding rolled his eyes at Li Kailang and said, "You are such a greedy boy!"

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Ding replied: "Okay, I can give you 100 rounds, but I don't have any now, I'll give you tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Uncle Ding!" Li Kailang shouted.

"Do you want to die? You're screaming so loudly." Uncle Ding patted Li Kailang on the shoulder.

"Isn't this exciting? Besides, isn't there anyone here?"

"Then there really is no one. It just so happens that if you have anything else you want, I will give it to you and make up for the missing gift."

"What gift?" Li Kailang was puzzled. He didn't remember what Uncle Ding needed from him.

"You forgot, when you first came here, I had nothing to give you. I gave your senior brother Lu Wenjiang a watch, but I haven't given you one yet!"

"Oh!" Li Kailang just remembered.

"What should I order?" Li Kailang muttered to himself.

With bullets, I will not be short of supplies for the time being.

Looking around, Li Kailang looked at the gun.

"By the way, there is one thing I haven't got yet!" Li Kailang said to himself.

"Uncle Ding, can you get me a submachine gun?"

Li Kailang had previously asked Li Huaide for guns, but later some accidents happened and Li Kailang did not go to him.

After so many days, Li Huaide didn't send a secretary over. Li Kailang knew that Li Huaide was not going to help him.

There just happens to be someone in front of me who can get it.

Uncle Ding glanced at Li Kailang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"You want a submachine gun? This is no joke, kid!"

Li Kailang wanted a submachine gun, mainly because he felt unhappy when he shot with a gun yesterday and the bullet speed was not fast enough.

"Hey, don't worry about what I want to do. Just tell me whether you can get it?" Li Kailang asked.

Uncle Ding looked at Li Kailang's expectant eyes and couldn't help but smile: "You are such a troublemaker, kid! But since you want it, I will help you with my old bones. It's just the right time to make up for your lack."

"I just happen to have one here. I captured it on the battlefield. I've only used it a few times. You can have it for free!" Uncle Ding said unhappily.

"Thank you, Uncle Ding!"

"What are you thanking me for? You're always giving me problems. Now go back. Come to my place after work tomorrow and I'll get you the bullets and the gun."

"Don't play with submachine gun bullets."

"Don't worry, I won't forget it!" said Uncle Ding.

The matter was settled, and Li Kailang took 60 bullets and left.

After returning to the transport team, we just need to wait for the tire vulcanization reaction to be completed before we can leave.
-
On the other side, the Lou family.

"Master, the young lady is the same as usual today, but there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not." Aunt Xu started cautiously.

Lou Zhenhua put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Xu Ma, and frowned slightly:

"Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate."

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the instruction, Xu Ma continued:
"At noon today, the young lady and her friends met a strange comrade. Master Bai said that this comrade was also a driver."

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lao Bai standing beside him and saw him nodding.

Xu Ma continued, "The young lady seems to be quite attentive to this comrade, giving him money and food."

"Oh, what's going on?" Lou Zhenhua frowned.

Xu Ma hurriedly explained, "I heard from the young lady that they ate the meal provided by that comrade, and the young lady felt bad about it, so she gave them the money and meal."

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua's brows relaxed.

"The lady gave him a lot of money, and the comrade accepted it without refusing!"

Xu Ma's words greatly reduced Lou Zhenhua's impression of this strange comrade.

Xu Ma only said half of it, and Li Kailang only said 10 yuan, but in Xu Ma's case, it turned out that he directly collected dozens of yuan.

The amount of money directly affected Lou Zhenhua's judgment.

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lao Bai standing beside him, and he still nodded.

Lao Bai also knew what Xu Ma was thinking, but he didn't expose her.

After all, Lou Xiao'e grew up under his care, unlike her who started dating so early.

"It seems that he is also a greedy person, so don't worry about it. However, did this person come here on purpose, or did we just meet by chance?"

Lou Zhanhua looked at Lao Bai.

Lao Bai recalled: "From what he said, it seems that they met by chance. At the beginning, he even avoided all the rich ladies."

"Oh! That's a bit strange!"

Lou Zhenhua was a little surprised. He thought Li Kailang was looking for them specifically.

"Master, I saw that comrade and the young lady were talking and laughing, and I was worried that he was..."

Mother Xu hesitated to speak, but her meaning was already very clear.

"You mean he came here specifically to get close to the lady?" Lou Zhenhua's tone turned serious.

"Master, don't blame me for being nosy. The young lady is still so young and can't tell right from wrong. This comrade came at a very opportune time!" Aunt Xu said in panic.

“I’m worried about someone else.”

"Indeed, your worries are not unreasonable." Lou Zhenhua said thoughtfully.

Although their itineraries were decided at the last minute, there was no guarantee that someone was secretly watching them.

"I know. If you have anything else, tell me now."

"Master, it's gone." Mrs. Xu said cautiously.

Lou Zhenhua nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Xu Ma could leave.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ma immediately turned around and left without any hesitation.

She felt relieved when she saw Lou Zhenhua's face change drastically.

After Xu Ma left, "Lao Bai, what do you think about this?"

Lao Bai had a cold face and said indifferently: "What Xu Ma said makes sense!"

After saying that, he stopped talking.

He knew that Xu Ma was exaggerating, but for the sake of the young lady, he didn't intend to expose the lie.

Lou Zhenhua pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Is that so? I see. Next time Xiao'e goes out, be careful."

Lao Bai nodded and turned to leave.

But Lao Bai didn't know that Xu Ma was not doing this for Lou Xiao'e's own good, but for her own son's good.

That’s right, Xu Ma’s son is Xu Damao.

She had been a servant in the Lou family for many years. She had been a servant in the Lou family before the class division.

After the classification of social status, his family was classified as hired farmers and poor peasants, and was qualified to marry Lou Xiao'e.

In order to let her son marry Lou Xiao'e, and also for the Lou family's wealth, Xu Ma belittled Li Kailang.

In the courtyard, she had naturally met Li Kailang, but she couldn't say anything good about him.

If Li Kailang intercepts her by then, all her plans and efforts over the years will be wasted.

If Lou Xiao'e wasn't still studying, Xu's mother would have wanted them to get married a long time ago.

In the plot, this is the reality.

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lou Xiao'e's room on the second floor and decided to go and persuade her to prevent his daughter from falling into a trap.

He knew very well that his daughter was a naive child who could be easily deceived by sweet words from the outside world.

He didn't want Xiao'e to fall into the trap and get hurt.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Xiao'e!"

"Dad, what's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e said softly.

Hearing Xiao'e's voice, Lou Zhanhua felt very nervous. He must not let anyone else touch Xiao'e.

"How was your fun today?" Lou Zhenhua asked softly.

Lou Xiao'e smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "I'm very happy! I haven't been this happy in a long time."

"Oh? What are you having so much fun with? Can you let dad know?" Lou Zhenhua asked curiously.

Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly, "Today we went sightseeing and had delicious food."

"Oh? What delicious food is it?" Lou Zhenhua became even more curious.

"Beggar's chickens, two at that. They taste delicious." Lou Xiao'e suddenly said in a low voice.

Then he added, "It tastes better than what our chef makes."

"Oh, really? Then next time let's invite him to our house to do it once?" Lou Zhenhua said tentatively.

"Okay, okay!" Lou Xiao'e said happily, but then she became a little depressed, "But, I also know where he lives. Where can I find him?"

Hearing this, Lou Zhanhua breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Kailang did not tell him the address. So he could rest assured for the time being.

"That's such a pity. If you can find it, come to our house and make it next time so I can try it," Lou Zhenhua said regretfully.

"Xiao E, do you still like me?" Lou Zhenhua finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"No! No!" Lou Xiao'e quickly shook her head to deny it.

"I don't like anyone, I just, I just."

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and counted on her fingers, as if looking for the right words to describe her mood.

Seeing his daughter like this, Lou Zhenhua's heart was alarmed. He said in a gentle and earnest voice:

"Xiao'e, you are still young, Daddy doesn't recommend you to fall in love now!"

"Besides, you are still in school, so you should focus on your studies."

"Dad! What are you thinking about? I don't want to fall in love. I want to go to college!" Lou Xiao'e clenched her pink fists and raised her head proudly.

"Yes, yes, yes. My Xiao'e is going to take the college entrance examination. She can't be delayed because of some trivial matters!" Lou Zhenhua encouraged.

But he secretly sighed in his heart, "Xiao E will not be able to get into university."

It's not about grades, but ingredients.

Lou Zhenhua is a capitalist. Although he is a red figure and has made contributions to the revolutionary cause, he still cannot get rid of the capitalist element.

It still cannot change the fact that Lou Xiao'e cannot go to college.

But it's good to be able to divert Lou Xiao'e's attention.

Lou Xiao'e said seriously: "Dad, go and do your work. Don't disturb me. I'm going to start studying!"

"Okay, okay, Dad won't disturb you, won't disturb you!" Lou Zhenhua said dotingly.

He turned around and left the room, leaving Lou Xiao'e to study.

At this time, Li Kailang was repairing vulcanized tires at the steel rolling mill and was completely unaware of what was happening in the Lou family.

Even if he knew, Li Kailang would not object.

Xu Damao married Lou Xiao'e as if he had married an ancestor, and he worshipped her at home every day.

As a daughter of a wealthy family, Lou Xiao'e usually didn't do any housework. If Li Kailang snatched her away, he would also be making trouble for his ancestors.

He is now living a carefree and comfortable life alone, so there is no need to find ancestors for himself.
