On the phone, Shen Huai briefly told Gao Yang what happened at the gate of the Zhaopu Shipyard this afternoon, and asked him to report to Chen Baoqi; Shen Huai was too lazy to call Chen Baoqi.

However, if Qin Bingkui cannot be convinced, it will be difficult to push forward the restructuring of the Zhaopu Shipyard; even if the work of attracting investment with Hengyang does not involve the Zhaopu Shipyard, the problem of the Zhaopu Shipyard cannot be dragged on forever.

Thinking of Qin Bingkui's smelly and hard temper like a pit stone, Shen Huai couldn't stop having a headache.

Turning over the records of the county's party and government cadres, and finding Qin Bingkui's address from them, Shen Huai didn't expect that Qin's house was in Qifeng Lane, not far to the south, and it was separated by two alleys from his residence.

Seeing that the time was not too late, Shen Huai took a pack of cigarettes into his pocket and decided to visit Qin's house at night.

The alleys to the south of the Normal School are the earliest urban areas of Xiapu, and the stone streets, the courtyards on both sides exude a strong aroma of osmanthus flowers, making people realize that the autumn of 96 has quietly arrived.

After the beginning of autumn, the temperature difference becomes larger, and the hot weather during the day becomes cool after nightfall.

The moonlight is sifting down, the shadows are rising and falling, the lime-painted courtyard walls are mottled, and there are traces of the rain washing away the age, and the eaves rafters also have a deep rotten color.

It wasn't too late, and most of the people in the yards on both sides didn't stop, walking and listening to the "gossip" that came from them, as well as the occasional baby cry and dog barking.

Walking in such an alley at night, Shen Huai was also quiet, and the memories of the past quietly surfaced in his mind. When he was in high school, he studied in Xiapu County, and when he had free time, he would walk through these alleys and go to the nunnery in Qiannan, where he would sit for half a day with books or chess.

It didn't carve such deep scars in his heart later, but it was the most leisure time in his life.

Many years have passed, and Shen Huai is not sure whether the old layman who was good at books and chess and gave him a lot of guidance is still alive.

Thinking of this, Shen Huai let go of the idea of going to Qin Bingkui and wanted to go to the nunnery to find the old man.

When Shen Huai was just about to bypass Qifeng Lane, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from a courtyard inside, and a man roared out of control:

"Socializing, socializing, it's just that you socialize a lot, your brain is made of paste, or pretend to be confused, you don't know what dirty things are in those men's heads, what kind of good thoughts will you have when you are called out at this time......"

"Work, what kind of work, do you need to run out to the hotel to socialize at this time? When you are a third escort lady, do you have any shame and a little consciousness?"

"If you're going out today, don't come back. ”

Listening to the sound of the quarrel, it turned out to be this family, and the wife had to go out to socialize so late, and the man was not angry and quarreled—but the quarrel was so loud, and the neighbors did not come out to see the excitement or persuade them, so there must have been more than one such quarrel.

"Smack!"

Immediately after that, there was the sound of falling objects in the yard.

Shen Huai smacked his lips, thinking that the man who was not angry with his wife and had to go out to socialize so late finally couldn't control his seizure.

However, what made Shen Huai dumbfounded was that the voice of this man who was not angry with his wife and had to go out to fool around so late came out again: "You go out in the middle of the night to fool around, you still have a reason, you still smash things, how am I sorry for you, how can I wronged you, if you go to the TV station to work overtime at night, when have I stopped you......" Although the voice still contained dissatisfaction and annoyance, the momentum was obviously much weaker.

Shen Huai was stunned for a long time, this man may not be too cowardly, right?

At this moment, the courtyard gate opened, and a woman in a red dress walked out of the courtyard and slammed the courtyard door with emotion, and the man's voice also called this fall to an abrupt end, and he didn't even dare to show his head, let alone leave his wife at home in the middle of the night.

Looking at Dai Ying's high heels on the stone street, stepping on the clear sound of "dangdang", Shen Huai thought that this woman had said that she lived in this area before, but he didn't expect her to live in this courtyard.

Dai Ying didn't expect Shen Huai to stand at the mouth of the alley, thinking that the quarrel with her husband just now should have fallen into his ears, and he was a little at a loss.

Looking at Dai Ying's flustered eyes, Shen Huai asked indifferently: "Do you have to go out to work so late?"

"The senior secretary general of the municipal party committee and the people from the Propaganda Department of the municipal party committee came to visit Taili today, and they went to the city to eat in the evening, and they didn't know what was going on, so they came back to Xiapu at this time, saying that they were looking for a place to eat supper......

Shut down

Shen Huai's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and Dai Ying seemed to be caught in bed, so she didn't dare to hide it, and told her about going out so late to accompany Gao Yang, deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee.

Shen Huai was also a little surprised, he had just received a call from Gao Yang, and he thought he was by Chen Baoqi's side.

Shen Huai had no intention of speculating that Gao Yang called Dai Ying out so late, whether he fell in love with this woman, or who he wanted to give this woman to - he looked at the courtyard that Dai Ying walked out of, and the courtyard door was closed from the inside at this time, and the man inside did not come out to take a look at it from beginning to end, or pull Dai Ying back, thinking that such a beautiful woman, in such a materialistic society, is really not something that ordinary men can keep.

Shen Huai didn't pay attention to Dai Ying anymore, and the men in the courtyard didn't dare to show their heads, so he didn't care whose bed and whose body Dai Ying would moan on tonight, and turned around and walked towards the nunnery.

Shen Huai turned around and walked south without saying a word, but Dai Ying didn't dare to walk away like that.

A few days ago, she took the initiative to seduce Shen Huai, and at this time, she went to accompany Gao Yang in the middle of the night to call Shen Huai to bump into her face, and the complacent in her heart disappeared at this moment, leaving only apprehension and uneasiness, I really don't know what kind of thoughts Shen Huai is hiding under the silence.

The gate of the nunnery is ajar, but the inside is lit up.

Shen Huai pushed open the gate where the paint had fallen off badly, and saw a table under the two ancient ginkgo trees in the courtyard, and the old layman with a little white eyebrows was sitting across the table from Qin Bingkui, playing chess.

Qin Bingkui frowned slightly when he saw Shen Huai walking in, and turned his face away from him.

Shen Huai thought that Qin Bingkui's temper was really stinky and hard, so he didn't say anything, nodded to the old layman, and came over to watch them play chess.

Shen Huai saw that they had lost a few pieces, and knew that Qin Bingkui's chess was too stinky, and at this time, seeing himself come in was obviously emotional, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of the old layman, so he didn't go to watch the chess, and looked at the layout of the nunnery.

After graduating from high school, he also came to Kasumigaura many times, but it has been six or seven years since he returned to the nunnery. Although the nunnery is included in the county-level protected buildings, the county government's investment is very limited, and this is only a few monks and nuns who live in the nunnery, occasionally there are walking monks and nuns to settle down for a period of time, there is no incense on weekdays, the courtyard is compared with six or seven years ago, and it is a little more dilapidated, but the two ginkgo trees with a history of thousands of years in the yard are luxuriant, and there is no dragon bell.

Listening to the ginkgo biloba tree "babble" inhale, Shen Huai looked over, Qin Bingkui entangled a big dragon for the old monk to lock up and struggle, a hundred sons did not arrive, it was decided to lose, Shen Huai walked over, said: "Old Qin's chess level is too poor, I'll play a game ......."

"It turned out to be Xiao Qin's acquaintance. The old monk looked at Shen Huai twice.

Qin Bingkui asked Shen Huai to be so angry that he ascended to heaven with such a big breath that he pushed the chess to stand up and give up his seat, only then did he see Dai Ying standing in the corner of the courtyard gate, and said secretly, no wonder there is this strange aroma.

Qin Bingkui's eyes swept over Shen Huai and Dai Ying's bodies, as if he believed that they had a shady relationship, thinking of the current situation of leading cadres messing with the relationship between men and women, his face was even more ugly, and his impression of Shen Huai was even worse.

"Uncle Qin, are you still playing chess here at such a late hour?" Dai Ying usually ignored Qin Bingkui, an old stubborn man, and had to say hello at this time, and his soft voice was a little out of shape.

"Hmph," Qin Bingkui snorted coldly, and put on a face to teach Dai Ying, "Xiao Dai, it's not that I want to talk about you, it's not a matter if you quarrel with Xiao Guo all day long." Can't you live honestly with Xiao Guo?"

Shen Huai glanced back, knowing that Qin Bingkui and Dai Ying were neighbors, and the quarrel with her family should be clear, it turned out that the man Dai Ying married was surnamed Guo.

Looking at Qin Bingkui's stinky face again, Shen Huai also knew what he had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain to him, so he sat down to pick up the chess pieces and put them into the chess box.

No matter what Shen Huai's indifferent attitude was, Dai Ying didn't dare to leave anyway.

She has generally figured out some of the contexts in Donghua's officialdom these days, and knows that if Shen Huai thinks that she is a two-faced woman, Gao Yang, even if she is the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, seems to have no way to shelter her; and if Gao Yang knows that she has seduced Shen Huai, maybe he will also throw her aside as a broken shoe.

Qin Bingkui had something to say to Shen Huai, so he was naturally not busy leaving, he dragged a bench out of the house, and sat on the side to watch Shen Huai play chess with the old layman, and after watching it for a while, he had to admit that although Shen Huai's chess style was also sharp, his level was much higher than him.

"The chess style of this benefactor reminds me of an old man. The old man said.

"Oh......" Shen Huai replied with a smile.

"But your chess style is sharper, probably at the time of high spirits," said the old layman, "my old man, before that, when life was low, the chess style seemed to be more dense. When I play chess with him, I will not be at a disadvantage until the end of the game, and if he is more aggressive, I don't think he will be able to stop him from playing more than 100 pieces......"

"Oh, yes, who is the old man of the old layman?" Shen Huai asked with a smile, "I am also a person who likes to play chess, and I have the opportunity to see a game." ”

"My old man died in an accident three years ago," the old layman said, "but your chess style is a bone, if you only look at chess and don't look at people, I can't tell the difference......"

Shen Huai smiled, the old people couldn't recognize each other, but they didn't have too many regrets, turned to look at Dai Ying, and asked, "Don't you have to accompany Secretary General Gao?"
