The two men in the courtyard come and go, although they don't see Mars, but the battle of wits and courage between the words is only clear to the two of them.

Inside, there's a different atmosphere.

While holding a comb to help her daughter comb her hair, the mother asked, "Fen! What do you think of Guo Xiaozhou? ”

Deng Huifen's clear watery eyes flashed lightly, and she wrote lightly: "It's okay! ”

There was a flash of joy in her eyes, and the mother observed her daughter's expression, "Fen! You said you wanted to go to a university in Kyoto, but your mother relied on you, and you said you wanted to go to graduate school, and your mother supported you. Are you supporting your mother this time? ”

Deng Huifen smiled, "What does Mom want to say?" ”

"Of course, it's your life's work. Seeing that you are twenty-five, you see that many of your former high school classmates have become mothers. A woman's family, no matter how big her skills are, whether she is happy or not depends on the other half......"

"Mom...... We didn't agree that when I graduate from graduate school, I will find you a son-in-law to come back immediately. ”

"It's not for your mother, it's for you to find a husband."

"It's all the same! Mother! I'm hungry......" Deng Huifen cleverly diverted the subject.

Sure enough, when she heard that her baby daughter was hungry alone, her mother hurriedly got up, "My dishes are ready, let's go out and eat." ”

Deng Huifen got up and walked to the door, but returned to the dressing mirror and looked up and down, "Mom! Am I gaining weight......"

"What's the matter, your old Deng family has never been fat. Girl, no matter how long you grow, you are also round. ”

"Really? Isn't the color of this dress a little bright? ”

The mother smiled "poof", "My daughter is a clothes rack, and she looks good in everything." ”

Deng Huifen's face was slightly red, she didn't fall in love with Guo Xiaozhou at first sight, but on the basis of having a good impression, she was picked out by her mother as the son-in-law in the photo, and she naturally reacted shyly.

When the mother and daughter came to the courtyard with their wrists on crutches, Deng Huaidong was returning from outside the courtyard.

Mother Deng was surprised: "Old man, what about the mayor of Xiao Guo?" ”

Deng Huaidong glared at her angrily behind his hands, "Let's go." ”

"Ambiguous! He hadn't eaten dinner yet, and I had killed a live fish......"

Deng Huaidong snorted: "My daughter eats." ”

"I said, old man, do you have the intention to him away or scare people away?"

"I scared him away?" Deng Huaidong was aggrieved when he remembered the "confrontation" just now, "His heart and eyes are enough to sell me three times, I scared him away, hehe!" Joke. ”

"You didn't scare him away, why did he leave? ...... who promised to have dinner."

"Did he leave and didn't greet you, you have no face?"

"Huh! Old man, what is your love today? Who provoked you? ”

Deng Huifen watched her parents bickering with a smile, for her, the happiest and warmest family scene is like this.

………………

………………

Guo Xiaozhou left only after receiving a call from Jiang Haijun.

He was really going to say hello to Sister-in-law Deng, but at that time, Deng's mother was in Deng Huifen's boudoir, and it was inconvenient for him to take the initiative to go in. I can only let Secretary Deng tell me on my behalf.

After leaving Secretary Deng's house, he drove to the deli to buy a few pickled vegetables, then went to the supermarket to move a case of beer and a few bags of salted peanuts and dried fruits, and bought two watermelons and grapes on the street.

Then I drove to the door of the police station to pick up Jiang Haijun. Unexpectedly, Jiang Haijun also bought a big bag of braised game, and also brought two bottles of Wuliangye.

Guo Xiaozhou pointed to the braised vegetables thrown in the cab, "Yes, bring the vegetables, you put down the wine." The wine in my house is better than yours. ”

Jiang Haijun is also a cheerful person, he smiled, put the wine back in the office, and got into the car with the braised game.

When the car came to the gate of the courtyard at the east end of the town, Jiang Haijun knew that Guo Xiaozhou had moved. He said bluntly: "Move early and save trouble, and living in a guest house will be a trouble sooner or later." ”

The two got out of the car, Guo Xiaozhou was carrying vegetables and watermelon fruits, and Jiang Haijun was holding a case of beer. After entering the courtyard, Jiang Haijun sniffed his nose vigorously, "It's so fragrant!" The ground is good......" Before the words fell, the screen door of the east wing opened, and a woman wearing white short sleeves and loose beach pants walked out.

Jiang Haijun already knew that Ren Qian lived here, and he took the initiative to greet him without being surprised, "Hello Mayor Ren!" Excuse me! ”

Ren Qian had just finished taking a shower, her hair was slightly damp, she was sucking in flip-flops, revealing her plump white legs, and walked down the steps with a smile, staring at the wine and food in their hands, "Director Jiang is a rare guest!" It's too late to welcome. I said, is this a late night snack or a supper? ”

Guo Xiaozhou put down the watermelon, "You can count it any way." Is Mayor Ren joining us too? ”

Ren Qianqian looked at a case of beer, "I accompanied Jiang to drink a bottle of beer to express my gratitude to the comrades at the police station for their hard work during the day today." I just happened to have ice cubes in the fridge, so I had some cold beer to cool off. ”

"It's so crowded! I'm going to move the table. Guo Xiaozhou moved out a small square table and three rattan chairs. Ren Qianqian was busy opening the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses. Jiang Haijun washed grapes and cut watermelons by the well.

The small square table was placed under the orange tree, the light was turned on in the corridor, and Ren Qian lit two plates of mosquito coils under the table.

When the beer ice cubes were served, Guo Xiaozhou let out an "oh", ran back to the house and brought a bottle of Shuijingfang and a Yellow Crane Tower 1916, and put them in front of Jiang Haijun's table, "I will accompany the mayor to drink beer, you can drink the liquor yourself at will, it is not enough to open it again, and you can drink the white beer again." ”

Jiang Haijun is not taboo in smoking and drinking, not only does he drink a lot, but he also has a great addiction to smoking. When he saw the cigarette, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Smoke!" Brother Guo, do you still have it, don't worry about yourself, don't let it go......

Guo Xiaozhou said with a smile: "After drinking, you can go into the house by yourself and move a few more." ”

Ren Qian sighed: "Can't you see that Mayor Guo is still an invisible tyrant?" More than 1,000 cigarettes were given away casually. ”

"The mayor of this town is poor, and a friend threw me cigarettes and alcohol, and I can't afford it." Guo Xiaozhou opened two bottles of beer, handed Ren Qian a bottle, poured a full glass, raised his glass to Ren Qian first, "Today's accident in the cotton mill, thanks to you on the spot, thank you for your hard work, I respect you!" ”

At the mention of the accident in the cotton mill, Ren Qian's face became more and more smiling, and she silently drank the wine in her glass, and said softly: "I heard that the injured person is in a very serious condition, and I hope she can recover her health." ”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Guo Xiaozhou said in a low tone: "I went to the hospital to see Deng Xiumei, and the situation is not very optimistic. Now the main problem is the high cost of treatment, and the cost of follow-up treatment is not clear, and her two children have just been admitted to university...... Just now, Secretary Deng told me that Deng Xinyuan was only willing to take 5,000 yuan, and he also looked at a lot of face, saying that it was out of humanitarian help. ”

Jiang Haijun drank a glass of liquor to himself, and scolded in a low voice: "If this grandson falls into the hands of Lao Tzu one day, Lao Tzu will let him shed his skin." ”

Guo Xiaozhou said slowly: "Navy, you tell him in detail, this time I must find his breakthrough." ”

Jiang Haijun glanced at Ren Qian again and again.

Ren Qian sensitively prepared to get up, "If you don't talk, I'll go for a walk......"

"It's okay, it's not an outsider, Mayor Ren, please sit down, let's discuss a way together, the patient is still in the intensive care ward, and the daily medical expenses are not a small number, so we must prepare early."

"I can only be an observer, and I don't know how to make up my mind." Ren Qian's smile carried a glow of joy of being trusted.

Jiang Haijun opened a pack of cigarettes, lit it and took a puff, and said in a low voice: "Brother Guo call me, and I will immediately find someone to investigate his property and personal hobbies." This grandson has two suites in Huanggang County, now worth more than one million, one of which is where his parents, wife and children live together, and the other has a second room, which seems to be a textile worker in his factory, only 19 years old, in addition, he also has a commercial façade house of more than 180 square meters in Golden Square, which is rented to a restaurant with a monthly rent of 30,000 ......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Haijun took another puff of his cigarette and frowned: "This grandson doesn't seem to have any bad habits, and he doesn't gamble or smoke and doesn't go to entertainment venues much." The friends I made were all in the business circle, and I never interacted with other people in society. ”

Guo Xiaozhou asked, "Did he buy his house and façade before he contracted the cotton mill, or after?" Is the façade a mortgage or a buyout? ”

"I checked the time, the façade house and the house where my parents and wife lived were bought before the contract, and the second wife's suite and new car were bought after the contract. It's all buyouts, no mortgages. ”

Guo Xiaozhou took a sip of beer and said, "Even three or four years ago, that façade house was not cheap, where did he get the huge money?" As far as I know, four years ago he was just an ordinary salesman in a cotton mill. ”

Jiang Haijun is an old criminal investigator in the end, and he immediately grasped the key point, "Brother Guo is saying that the origin of his previous huge wealth is unknown?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled faintly and handed a piece of watermelon to Ren Qian, "I just feel a little beyond common sense." Even in the most profitable stage, the small cotton mill in the township where Deng Xinyuan used to work did not have a net profit of two million a year. That is to say, he embezzled all the profits of the factory for a year, and he could not buy a façade and a residence. ”

"Smack!" Jiang Haijun slapped himself on the thigh, "There is a problem, there is definitely a problem." I'll go to the county tomorrow to investigate, and I'll make sure to clean him up and let him show his true form. ”

Guo Xiaozhou suddenly looked at Ren Qian and said, "Of course, we can't pin all our hopes on him, for the sake of safety, we should prepare with both hands." The mayor of the town is in charge of social affairs, and the work of civil affairs, social relief, and the women's federation is under your control. I discussed with Secretary Deng today that I plan to launch a fundraising campaign, which will be carried out in Chenta Town first, and then consider extending it to the whole county. ”

Ren Qian nodded without hesitation, "I'll start arranging publicity tomorrow morning." In the afternoon, I tried to go to the county propaganda department to get support. ”

"Hmmm! Here, a toast! Guo Xiaozhou raised his glass.

The three of them drank and chatted in the mottled shadows where the lights and tree rights intersected, and laughed constantly.

Ren Qian originally said that she only drank one bottle of beer, but the more she drank, the more excited she became, and she had no intention of stopping after four bottles. Jiang Haijun got a bottle of liquor by himself, and began to drink beer with Ren Qian.

Guo Xiaozhou is the fifth bottle, and when he was about to retreat, his mobile phone rang, and when he looked at the number, it was Xie Fuli. He immediately got up and walked outside the courtyard.

"Mayor Xie......" he tentatively spoke, sometimes he had to think carefully, if the call was from her secretary Qiao Shan, he opened his nickname such as "Fuli", wouldn't he poke Lou Zi. Although part of the secretary's function is to help the leader protect secrets, it is best not to expose it. It's safest to take the risk into your own hands.

"It's me, don't worry, I won't give this mobile phone to Qiao Shan, it's currently a number specifically for you."

Guo Xiaozhou teased: "Do I also have to match a matching number!" By the way, you must have something to do with you looking for me so late? ”

"Xiao Zhou, I'll tell you a message. I will come to Huanggang County tomorrow for research, and Chen Tower is the second stop. ”
