Chapter 131: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (35)
Time flies, and it is almost the beginning of January. Su Guoan has been inspecting the farm's warehouse and grain storage these days. Heavy snow fell a few days ago, and people on the farm have started to take holidays one after another.
Some people even applied for family leave early and went home. Since Su Guoan's home was near the farm, he simply took over the patrol duty job.
On the third day of the inspection, Su Guoan opened the supply warehouse to check whether the food supplies to various places next year had been damp.
Because the supply warehouse is a mobile warehouse, the location chosen when it was built was relatively low in terrain. Originally, this place was closed and would be reopened next year, but Su Guoan wanted to check it one last time.
But as soon as he finished checking, Su Guoan frowned.
This number is wrong! How can there be more? This shouldn't be the case!
Su Guoan walked around the warehouse suspiciously twice but couldn't find the reason. However, when he was about to walk around for the third time, he found a familiar cloth bag in the corner.
This discovery made Su Guoan's whole body stiffen. He walked over tremblingly and began to rummage through the cloth bag and the sacks around it. When he saw the date written on the sacks, his legs went weak.
Su Guoan gasped for breath and it took him a long time to recover. He ran while shouting for help.
Almost half of the people on the farm have already returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, and the remaining half are either locals or did not take a break this time.
When they heard the director Su Guoan's shout, they all came out of their hibernating houses.
"Director Su, what happened?" Zhang Wang happened to be at the farm at the moment. Seeing Su Guoan looking so anxious, he thought that something urgent had happened again.
"Uncle Zhang, quickly ask who delivered the supplies to the forest farm in December, and whether they were delivered?" Su Guoan shouted while holding Zhang Wang while panting.
Wang Xiangbei happened to be delivering finished furniture to the farm today, so he was there too. He was very confident in his observation and noticed that Su Guoan looked as if he was about to fall down at any moment, so he quickly stepped forward and supported him.
Zhang Wang was a little confused by Su Guoan's question, but he immediately went back to the office to get the book he signed for when he received the supplies.
Not long after, Zhang Wang came with the notebook. He stared at the blank space where the signature was supposed to be, his eyes wide open.
"The place where the signature should be in mid-December is blank." Zhang Wang said with difficulty, and then he saw the person who was usually responsible for managing the signature book hiding in the back.
How could Zhang Wang let him go? He quickly walked over and grabbed him with his big hand like a palm leaf fan: "Xiao Meng, what's going on? Did they forget to sign after receiving the supplies, or did they not receive the supplies at all?"
As soon as these words came out, the young man named Xiao Meng collapsed on the ground. "Old Director, I don't know! The young man who received the supplies from the forest farm was not in good health some time ago and came a few days late. I thought that as long as they can be delivered in December, it will be fine.
No one took it seriously, and after that, no one came to claim it.
During this period, I was only thinking about going home for a blind date this year, and forgot that I hadn't received the supplies from the forest farm.
Just now you said the signature area was blank, and I just remembered that they didn’t receive the mid-December supplies at all.”
When Su Guoan heard this, his face immediately turned pale, but he still went to call the forest farm with the help of Wang Xiangbei. Upon asking, he found out that the young man who received the supplies had been ill for a long time and had gone to the big city for treatment.
The person who took over from him, because he had not seen him in person, thought that the supplies for mid-December had already been delivered, so he did not come to the farm to inquire about this matter.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Su Guoan dizzy.
Li Na and Su Xiangran were originally working at home, but following the social rule that "good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles", they soon knew the news.
Su Xiangran's heart skipped a beat. After reading the plot, it was clear that the key point had finally arrived.
Li Na was so shocked that she stood there like a fool. She ran all the way to the farm without taking off her apron or putting on her coat.
Su Xiangran quickly grabbed her cotton jacket and chased after him.
