Chapter 112: Qiao Qidong's Advice
No matter how big my heart was, the pressure of the college entrance examination was also coming, so I only let Li Haoyu and Cheng Jiahui stay in Linshui Village for ten days before letting them come back to make up for the class. Romance debuts
For a whole summer, Cheng Shaojie was busy with the work in the field and the brick factory, because of my insistence, although the brick factory was very profitable, but the land at home was not abandoned. In my spare time, I concentrate on studying with my two children.
Even without the countdown, I felt that time was slipping away too quickly, and before I knew it, the weather was cooling, the autumn wind was up, and the crops in the fields were finished.
Whenever I lament that time flies too fast, Li Haoyu shouts that time flies too slowly: "Hurry up and take the college entrance examination, we will be liberated after the exam."
"Are you ready? Hurry up and take the test! If you look at your test results, you dare to shout 'the college entrance examination is coming'? I said disdainfully.
"Our class has been finished a long time ago, and now we are reviewing every day, and I am tired of doing so many questions every day," Li Haoyu shouted as he lay on the bed with his hands spread out.
I smiled and patted him and said: "Eat hard, you are a master, this is the final sprint stage of your ten-year cold window, come on, you see how my brother is not as tired as you"
Li Haoyu made a fainting gesture and leaned on me and said, "Mom, just spare me, he is a scholar, I can't compare with him."
Cheng Jiahui looked at us calmly on the side, and when he saw Li Haoyu being coquettish, he stretched out his foot and kicked him, and said with a smile: "I am a scholar and you are not so anxious to take the exam, I see you like a god, and shout every day, 'Come on the day of the college entrance examination'"
"I'm in a hurry to finish the exam and get rid of it as soon as possible," Li Haoyu said, and collapsed on the bed next to the table.
"What's the hurry? The nature that should come is coming, the mind is calm and naturally cool, don't look forward to the time passing faster, hurry up and do your questions, don't come to the exam only to feel that this is not ready, that is not ready" I said and stretched out my foot and kicked him.
Li Haoyu got up and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Mom, you hurry up and go cooking, don't educate us here, treat us well if you don't go to work today, you didn't rest last week, grandpa and grandmother are chattering, saying that it's time to make up for winter."
I smiled and said, "When it comes to eating, your spirit comes, don't be involved with grandpa, grandma, Jiahui, what do you want to eat?" ”
Li Haoyu hurriedly said: "Braised pork ribs, spicy fish, and large plate of chicken are as you can make, we all like it, as long as you make it yourself, don't let your uncle interfere today, his level is not as strong as yours."
During the meal, Cheng Shaojie answered a phone call, walked to the bedroom and lowered his voice while talking, I think it's a little strange, he has never answered the phone behind my back before.
When I was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen after eating, I asked him, "Whose phone was it just now?" ”。
Cheng Shaojie hesitated a little and said, "It's Dong Youguang's call."
"What is he calling for?"
"He said that in the afternoon, he made an appointment with Wang Shishi and Huang Fatzi in the village to eat meat together."
As soon as I heard Dong Youguang's phone call, I was a little unhappy that he was messing with those people, but these people were friends from the same village as him, and it was impossible for me not to let him not associate with his past friends.
"Where are you going to eat meat? Who's going to treat you? ”
"Dong Youguang said that when he went to Hongshahe Township, a friend of his set up a 'farmhouse' there, and he pulled a few friends over to cheer him on, which was lively and lively, and I said I didn't want to go, but they kept calling."
"What kind of 'farmhouse' do you want to open in winter, don't go if you don't want to go, don't get involved with Dong Youguang, that person won't do anything else except gamble," I said with a frown.
"There's a ski resort there, and that 'farmhouse' mainly sells smoked meat, I know their problem, don't worry, I won't play that anymore, I won't go if I can't go."
But in the afternoon, Dong Youguang and Huang Fatzi and Wang Shishi in the village called again and again, and Cheng Shaojie couldn't get rid of his love after all.
When it was time for dinner, I called Cheng Shaojie when I was not sure, but the phone was turned off, and I didn't turn on after three calls.
Seeing that it was getting dark, I called Qiao Qidong and asked where he was? He said that he was on duty in the office, and I said, "You can find Cheng Shaojie for me, he said that he went to drink meat in your Hongshahe Township, but he couldn't get through on the phone all afternoon."
Qiao Qidong listened to my words and said with a smile: "You are too strict with him, right?" A man wants to give some freedom, and he is not your prisoner? ”
"At noon, Dong Youguang kept calling and said that he was calling him to go to a friend's house in Hongsha Township to drink, just now I called for a long time, Cheng Shaojie's mobile phone has been turned off, I suspect that he went to you to gamble" I ignored Qiao Qidong's ridicule and said lightly.
Qiao Qidong was silent on the other end of the phone for a while and said, "Whose house is he?" ”
"I don't know what he said when he left that the 'farmhouse' was open, but I thought it was a cover and I asked him to drive my car."
Qiao Qidong smiled: "You are really not in vain as a policeman, that is okay, I will reply to you within an hour when I am not in my jurisdiction." When it was just dark, Qiao Qidong called and said: "People have been found, they are drinking at Wang Jiwen's house in Hongkeng Village, and they are not playing cards."
"Really?" I asked in a skeptical tone.
Qiao Qidong paused for a moment and smiled and said, "They were indeed drinking when we went, but the "black old three" was also there."
I knew that the "black third" was specifically putting money in the casino, so I sighed and said, "I know, you let him come back."
Qiao Qidong said: "Still, I had a private conversation with Cheng Shaojie just now, and he said that he didn't want to play cards at all, but he also heard that this group of people wanted to organize a card field, and he just wanted to hide and couldn't hide, I think he was telling the truth." ”
I sneered and said, "Did he go to hear that this group of people was going to organize a card field?" I tried my best to keep myself calm, but anger involuntarily rose from the bottom of my heart.
Qiao Qidong paused for a while and said: "Still, Cheng Shaojie is a very good person, seeing him this time, compared with when I saw him in the prison last year, he has changed a lot." He's a very smart guy, and even though I didn't say anything, he understood that you had asked me to go to him, and I could feel his frustration, so it can be seen that he cares about you, and you give him more time."
Qiao Qidong was silent on the phone for a while and then said: "Still, I know that you are a very serious person, don't give up on him as lightly as you do to Li Jiaming, okay?" This person is really good, I believe he is really good to you, still, the people who love you and can be by your side are the most important, we are not young anymore, don't be alone anymore, okay? ”。
When Qiao Qidong said the words "Don't be alone anymore" on the phone, my heart seemed to be soaked in water and suddenly wet. He hugged me and said this as he parted, and I don't remember that scene for a long time, but when I looked back so softly, my heart was still tightly entangled.
I endured the sore pain in my throat, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone, "I know what to do, don't worry."
"I asked people to send Cheng Shaojie back."
"No need, let the people they go with send him back"
"It's okay, Li Weishan from the institute is going to the bureau to participate in the training on Monday, I asked him to go early today, and my province sent a special car to send him there."
Cheng Shaojie was sent back with a smell of alcohol, I knew that he was not drunk, and he did not explain what he had done, and he did not defend or cover up. Cheng Shaojie is a smart man, and he knows very well that we all understand what is going on.
Back in the bedroom to avoid the kids, he just said, "I really don't want to go".
I could tell that this was true, and I pondered for a while and stared at him and asked, "Then I don't understand, why do they keep pestering you?" ”
Cheng Shaojie dodged my eyes and avoided my doubts and covered up: "I really don't want to mix with them, but I am from Linshui Village, and these people grew up with me, and I can't stop associating with these people just because I am married to you."
"I didn't let you not associate with them, and I also hope that you don't alienate them because you have money, Huang Fatzi and Wang Shishi didn't like gambling money before, they just played cards and didn't play with Dong Youguang and them at the same level, why are they messing with Dong Youguang and them now."
"Dong Youguang was afraid that I wouldn't go, so he asked Huang Fatzi and Wang Shishi to call me and ask me to go."
I asked reluctantly, "Why is the 'Black Third Child' there?" ”
Cheng Miaojie met my eyes and said calmly: "I really don't know, there are several others in it that I don't know."
I squinted my eyes slightly and looked at Cheng Shaojie, I have been a criminal policeman for so many years, I know very well that there must be an unknown reason behind any abnormal thing, if Cheng Shaojie really wants to avoid these people, and this Dong Youguang Those people are chasing him so relentlessly, there must be a reason in the center, with Cheng Shaojie's character, if he is unwilling to go, others can't force him, and he doesn't want to go and can't push it off, it won't be without reason. So he asked bluntly: "Why are they pestering you like this, is it because you have earned money in the past two years?" But there are more rich people in Qingbei County than you, why do they always pester you? ”
Cheng Shaojie was silent for a long time and said: "I know what I should do, I will do what I promised you."
I realized that Cheng Shaojie didn't want to say it happily and stopped asking, I have been married to Cheng Shaojie for almost two years, and the temperament of the two of them understands each other, but there has been no communication channel, he is not the one who says everything, and I have not broken the habit of asking the casserole to the end, and I usually don't bother to pursue his inner qiē, he also feels my contempt, so he is even more reluctant to say more. But today is different from the past, I think there is something wrong with it, and he is consciously avoiding it
