Chapter 179 Pointing out the summer
At the corner of an alley on the street, Shi Tou and Fatty stood behind Zhang Fengfeng. Zhang Fengfeng cautiously stuck her head out and stared at the entrance of the post office opposite.
"You'd better not play any tricks! Otherwise, if we take you back today, you'll have to come out lying sideways!" The fat man threatened viciously and kicked Zhang Fengfeng hard from behind.
Zhang Fengfeng looked in a disheveled state, with disheveled hair and scars of all sizes all over her body. She also emitted an unbearable stench. Even if her own mother was here, she probably wouldn't recognize her.
After being kicked hard by the fat man, Zhang Fengfeng instinctively knelt on the ground. She held her head with both hands and murmured, "Don't hit me, don't hit me."
Seeing this, Shitou glanced at the fat man, then turned to Zhang Fengfeng and softened his tone a little: "Get up, I won't beat you today. As long as you help us find the person named Shi Shengxia, you don't have to look for her yourself, just point her out to us, and then you can go home."
"I point, I point, she will definitely come to the post office today!" Zhang Fengfeng hurriedly got up from the ground, still holding her head with both hands, her eyes full of fear.
"She comes to pick up the package on this day every month. She will definitely come in the middle of summer!" Zhang Fengfeng said as she carefully observed the reactions of Shi Tou and Fatty through her messy hair, fearing that she would do something wrong and be beaten by Fatty again.
Shitou listened to Zhang Fengfeng's words, then turned to the fat man and said, "Then let's wait here first. If she dares to play tricks, it won't be too late for you to deal with her later."
The fat man snorted, obviously not completely trusting what Zhang Fengfeng said, but he nodded anyway.
Time passed minute by minute, and people from the post office came in and out, but no one heard Zhang Fengfeng shout.
The fat man's patience gradually wore out. He began to pace back and forth impatiently, glaring at Zhang Fengfeng from time to time, as if he would teach her a lesson at any time.
Zhang Fengfeng hugged herself tighter. She kept staring at the door of the post office and prayed silently in her heart that Shi Shengxia would show up soon.
"She! It's her! She's Shi Shengxia!" Zhang Fengfeng's voice was a little hoarse with excitement. She was afraid that Shitou and the others couldn't hear her, so she pointed with a trembling finger, "It's the girl with the hair tied up like a fist!"
Shi Tou and Fatty looked in the direction Zhang Fengfeng pointed, and saw a girl riding a bicycle appear in front of the post office. She was wearing a floral top, and her hair was indeed tied into the shape of a fist, which made her look quite unique on this street where all the girls had double braids.
"Are you sure it's her? You're not just trying to fool us by identifying someone else?" Shi Tou turned his head and stared at Zhang Fengfeng, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
Zhang Fengfeng nodded vigorously, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes. "It must be her, Shi Shengxia. She's an educated youth from our brigade! I won't make a mistake!"
Shitou narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Fengfeng carefully. After confirming that she was not lying, he nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you are sure it is her, you can leave after we get out of here."
When Zhang Fengfeng heard that they were really going to let her go, she nodded repeatedly and quickly shrank to the side and squatted again.
"Shi Tou, when do we start?" The fat man kept staring at the direction of the post office. The girl that Zhang Fengfeng had just pointed at had already entered the post office and had not come out yet.
Shitou pondered for a few seconds, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, and whispered to Fatty, "We'll follow her when she comes out, and then find a deserted place to take action."
Hearing this, the fat man rubbed his hands and said, "Okay!"
After a while, Shi Shengxia came out of the post office with a package in her arms. She tied the package to the back of her bicycle and pushed it forward.
Shi Tou and Fatty exchanged glances, nodded in tacit understanding, then walked out of the alley and followed.
When Zhang Fengfeng saw the fat man and the other man leave, she didn't dare to stay any longer and crawled away in the opposite direction.
Shi Shengxia went to the supply and marketing cooperative again and came out with her hands full again. After checking to make sure everything was tied securely to her bicycle and wouldn't fall off, Shi Shengxia got on her bicycle and headed for the state-owned restaurant.
Seeing this, the fat man asked anxiously, "Shi Tou, are we just going to let her go like this?"
Shitou looked at Shi Shengxia's back as she rode her bicycle and said calmly, "Don't worry. Have you forgotten what Zhang Fengfeng said? This woman always eats at the state-owned restaurant when she comes to town. Look at the direction she's heading now. Isn't that the state-owned restaurant?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man looked over there carefully, and sure enough, he saw Shi Shengxia's bicycle heading towards the state-owned hotel.
"Hey, it's true, Shitou, you have a really good memory!" The fat man patted Heizi's chest and suggested, "Then why don't we go in and eat something?"
"Okay, let's go in too." The two of them walked in, one in front and one behind, pretending nothing had happened, and also stepped into the state-owned restaurant.
There were only a few customers eating in the restaurant at this time. Shi Shengxia had already ordered the dishes and found a seat by the window.
Shi Tou and Fatty ordered two bowls of noodles and found an inconspicuous place to sit down. This place allowed them to observe Shi Shengxia without being easily discovered by her.
After a while, the waiter called out the dumplings that Shi Shengxia ordered. Shi Shengxia stood up, brought the dumplings to the table, and began to eat them in small bites.
The fat man slurped the noodles in his bowl, and when he saw Shi Shengxia eating dumplings in small bites, he felt that this person was really slow at eating.
"Shi Tou, do you think our sister Xin is so slow when eating?" As he said this, he picked up a noodle with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it in his mouth in a pretentious manner.
Shitou glared at the fat man and warned him in a low voice, "Fatty, stop messing around and eat your noodles properly. We're here to do business, not to watch you perform a monkey show."
The fat man chuckled, and although he restrained himself a little, he still couldn't help muttering, "Isn't this just to have some fun watching her eat so slowly? Look at how slowly she eats, how long do we have to wait?"
Shitou ignored the fat man's complaints. He kept his eyes fixed on Shi Shengxia, thinking about his next move. He knew that he only had one chance to catch this woman, and he couldn't make any mistakes.
While eating dumplings, Shi Shengxia looked at the colorful hair ties on the heads of the waiters walking around in the restaurant, and couldn't help feeling moved.
She put down her chopsticks, reached out to stop the waiter who was passing by her, and asked curiously, "Waiter, where did you buy the hair tie on your head?"
Xue Xiaofang, who was originally a little unhappy about being pulled, immediately smiled at her when she heard that she was asking about her hair tie.
"Are you talking about this? This was given to me by my sister!" As she said that, she reached out and gently touched the hair tie on her head.
The fat man looked at Xue Xiaofang, who was smiling like a flower, and felt his heartbeat quickening. He couldn't help but mutter to Shi Tou again, "Shi Tou, she is so pretty."
