Chapter 52: The heart shakes
Two days later, the Songshan City Public Security Bureau announced the results of the investigation and handling of the gambling incident at the O'Neill Hotel: The Taolin County Public Security Bureau was ordered to circulate a notice of criticism to He Ying and Huang Chong; Huang Lang and several other ringleaders who organized the attack on the police were investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law; and Li Weijun and others were no longer held accountable for violating the law because there was insufficient evidence of gambling in a crowd......
The day the results of the investigation were announced happened to be Friday, and when Lu Tao learned the results from He Ying's phone, he was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Lu Tao rushed back to the county seat, and after returning home, he went to knock on the opposite door.
As he expected, He Ying did not go to work in the bureau in the afternoon, her eyes were red and swollen, and she obviously cried for a long time.
Lu Tao said a little distressed: "Sister Ying, things are already like this, don't be too angry and sad, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, just fight for early and late." Li Xuzhong, Li Weijun, and others are completely corrupt, and sooner or later they will be severely punished by party discipline and state law.
He Ying hung her head and didn't answer, bent down to find a pair of slippers for Lu Tao, then turned around and walked into the living room, sat on the sofa without saying a word, staring at the TV that was not turned on opposite.
Lu Tao knew that she was very depressed and wanted to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed, so he asked with a smile: "Sister Ying, we said that we will cooperate to cook food on the weekend, you are responsible for buying vegetables and cooking, and I am responsible for taking care of the aftermath." It's Friday, have you bought your food? I'm ready to show off my cooking. ”
He Ying raised her head and glared at him, and reprimanded: "At this time, you are still hippie and smiling, are you angry with me? If you are hungry, go to the refrigerator to find ingredients by yourself, what to eat, I don't have the heart to buy vegetables, I don't want to eat, and I am full of anger!"
Lu Tao said solemnly: "Sister Ying, people are iron rice and steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, you can't be hungry and sulk! If you are angry, you will only bloate your stomach, and you will definitely not be full, if you are hungry, Li Xu and others will definitely die of laughter, but my younger brother will die of distress, why do you bother to do such a stupid thing that relatives and enemies are happy!"
When He Ying heard the sentence "Angry will only swell your stomach, and you will never be full", she laughed out loud, rolled her eyes at Lu Tao, and said angrily: "Heartless little bastard!
Then, she got up from the sofa and said to Lu Tao in a commanding tone: "I'll go to the kitchen to choose vegetables and wash vegetables, you go to the community supermarket to buy a few bottles of red wine first, I want to drink tonight, if I don't drink some wine, the anger in my heart will be unsettled!"
Lu Tao saw that she had just been amused by herself, and she was also very happy, so she smiled and responded to the "order", and then went downstairs to buy wine.
In the process of choosing vegetables and washing vegetables in the kitchen, He Ying's ears kept echoing Lu Tao's words just now: "If you are hungry, Li Xu and others will definitely die of laughter, but my younger brother will die of distress" - although she knew that this was a joke to make her happy, she still felt a little warm and heartbeat, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a sweet smile, and her fair face was also soaked in rouge, and a trace of blush gradually appeared......
Just when she carefully savored Lu Tao's words, the mobile phone rang at an inopportune time, and when she looked at the caller ID, it was Zhou Youliang calling.
After the phone was connected, Zhou Youliang said that tonight was the weekend, and he wanted to invite Li Tao and Su Lishu to come over and play mahjong together, and asked her if she had time to play together.
He Ying originally wanted to agree, but Lu Tao's figure suddenly appeared in her mind, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Cousin, I'm not in a good mood tonight, I want to be quiet alone, let's make an appointment next time!"
Zhou Youliang guessed that she was in a bad mood for the investigation report, and said very understandingly: "Okay, since you are in a bad mood, let's play together again next week!"
Lu Tao bought six bottles of red wine and came back, put them on the table, walked into the kitchen, cut vegetables and stir-fried vegetables with his hands and feet, and made a small fried pork from the farmhouse, a river fish in vinegar soup, a green onion egg cake, and a garlic water spinach in only half an hour, and brought them to the table. He Ying couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste every dish, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Lu Tao knew that He Ying wanted to get drunk tonight, so he opened two bottles of red wine, put one bottle in front of each person, and said to He Ying with a smile: "Sister Ying, tonight we will carry out the responsibility system, drink bottle by bottle, and finally compare who drinks more, how about the one who loses is responsible for washing the dishes?"
He Ying glanced at him: "Do you have a little gentlemanly demeanor? How can a man compare the amount of alcohol with a woman? It's okay to be responsible for drinking, but I only promise to accompany you to the end, and I won't compare the amount of alcohol with you." It doesn't matter if you drink too much or I drink too much, in the end you have to be responsible for cleaning the dishes. ”
Lu Tao had no choice but to nod with a wry smile and approve of her domineering "drinking agreement".
He Ying may have wanted to get herself drunk, and changed the elegant posture of tasting in small sips when she drank last time, and drank it all in one gulp every time she took a cup, and she poured most of the wine, but in just ten minutes, she drank two bottles of wine.
Lu Tao saw that she was drinking too quickly and too quickly, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Ying, it's easy to get drunk when you drink urgent wine, can we drink it slowly?
He Ying was already starry at this time, her cheeks were red, and she was five or six points drunk, listening to Lu Tao persuading her to drink slowly, she simply opened the third bottle of wine in front of her, filled the tall glass red wine glass, and drank it all as if she was angry, and then took the empty glass in front of Lu Tao, and said in a provocative tone: "This is my third bottle of wine, your two bottles of wine are not finished yet, are you still a man?" Hurry up and fill the cup, just like me, you can go down and buy wine, I must have a good drink today!"
Seeing that Lu Tao did not respond to his words, He Ying reached out and grabbed the wine bottle in front of him, wanting to fill the wine glass for him.
Lu Tao hurriedly grabbed her wrist and suddenly asked: "Sister Ying, I want to take the liberty of asking: Are you very disappointed in Secretary Zhou? This time you went to the O'Neill Hotel to catch gambling, you suffered so much grievance, and Li Xuzhong and Li Weijun are obviously some corrupt elements, but Secretary Zhou did not order them to be severely punished, but only exempted you from further punishment, do you feel very aggrieved and sad?"
He Ying was stunned for a moment, suddenly pulled his hand out of Lu Tao's palm, stared at Lu Tao fixedly for a while, tears gradually appeared in his eyes, and he nodded and said: "That's right, I'm very disappointed in him! However, when he was young, he was a coward with no responsibility, no courage, and no sense of responsibility, but I didn't expect him to have so much power now, and he still didn't dare to come out like a shrinking turtle, I despise him!"
