It's been more than a week since I returned to Jiangyang, and July in Jiangyang is not as hot as Jianghan; Yue Haohan reads "Zhou Yi Annotated Daquan" for two hours at home every morning; In the afternoon, I played basketball with a group of high school classmates on the basketball court of No. 1 Middle School. younger sister Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia are about to enter the third year of high school, and they are making up classes every day; Dao is the younger brother Yue Haojiang, like a fart, following behind every day. Godfather Deng Xuanchang, took advantage of the summer vacation to go back to his hometown in the countryside to have something to do.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Yue Haohan was playing in the playground, when he saw his sister Yue Chunfang running to the side of the court and shouting: "Brother, Teacher Wang in the school duty room asked me to come to you, saying that I had your phone, she came to the house to look for you, and my mother said that you were in the playground; Ask you to pick it up again in 10 minutes. Yue Chunfang gasped, and said a long series of words with a red face.

Yue Haohan said: "Got it." Then he got off the court, packed up his short-sleeved shirt on the basketball hoop, and walked towards the school duty room.

When I arrived at the duty room, I saw Mr. Wang reading a magazine; When he saw Yue Haohan coming in, he said, "College student, is it your girlfriend who beat me, I heard the voice of a girl." Why don't you bring her back and make your parents happy! ”

Yue Haohan blushed and said, "It's a college classmate." ”

Teacher Wang smiled and said, "Don't lie to me, I can hear it, it's a girl with a nice voice, who speaks Mandarin; It must be beautiful. Just then, the phone rang.

Yue Haohan grabbed the phone and said 'hey', and heard Cheng Ziying on the other side say, "Haohan, I miss you!" Yue Haohan looked at Teacher Wang with his eyes and said, "Me too!" ”

When Mr. Wang saw Yue Haohan answering the phone, he took the magazine, turned around and walked out of the duty room.

At this time, Cheng Ziying was heard on the phone: "Haohan, do you miss me?" I want to kill you! ”

Yue Haohan looked around the duty room and said, "I miss you too, has your brother gone back?" ”

Cheng Ziying said: "I'm back, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my cute little nephew are all back; The house is very lively, our family has never been so lively; It's that I miss you so much, I dream of you every night, I dreamed of you last night, left me, and left with someone else, I woke up crying in my dream, the pillow was wet, my mother heard my cry in my dream, and thought something happened to me, and asked me for a long time. Haohan, what do you do at home every day? Otherwise, you come to the East China Sea to play.

Yue Haohan said: "I read books in the morning and play ball with a group of high school classmates in the afternoon; is to miss you very much when I calm down, and my mind is like a movie, thinking about the happy moments with you, thinking about your every move, thinking about your voice and smile; When I miss you, I feel so sweet and warm.

Cheng Ziying said: "Vast, it's only been a little more than a week, but I feel like I've been away from you for a long, long time, I really want to grow wings and fly to you!" ”

Yue Haohan quipped: "Come on, I'll wait, or how about I get through the phone receiver?" ”

Just listening to the phone, Cheng Ziying said with a crisp smile: "Come here, I'll invite you to 'hairy crab' at night." At this time, Yue Haohan heard the sound of the door opening on the other side of the phone, accompanied by a middle-aged woman's question: "Ziying, whose phone is it?" I only heard Cheng Ziying reply: "Classmate! ”。 Then Cheng Ziying's very soft voice came from the earpiece: "Haohan, my mother and my brother are back, let's talk another day, I'm hanging!" At this moment, a busy tone came over the phone; Yue Haohan stood stunned for a while before putting down the phone in his hand; Walked out of the duty room.

When I got home, I took a cool shower and changed into clean clothes; Seeing that the family had not returned, Yue Haohan closed the door; Walk outside. Yue Haohan's home was in the early 80s, in order to take care of the teachers' housing difficulties, the superiors built five rows of 12 red machine brick bungalows near the teaching building of No. 1 Middle School; There are two small rooms on the left and right sides of every three, which are used as kitchens and bathrooms, and three rooms are one household; Each household has its own small yard. Three main rooms, before moving in, mother Wang Sulan took into account that there are many children in the family, and when decorating, it was divided into six small rooms, the middle one was used as a living room in the front, and the back was a study; The other four small rooms serve as bedrooms; It's a little tight, but it's very warm. Although Yue Haohan's parents were able to get a spacious building, they gave the quota to other teachers' families who had difficulty in housing, considering that the bungalow was good and they were used to living in it. Yue Haohan's home is in the bungalow, the first household on the right in the first row, very close to the school playground.

Yue Haohan had just walked out of the courtyard gate and turned a corner; saw a police jeep drive into the campus and stopped next to the playground, at this time, Yue Haohan saw Zhang Jianming, who jumped down from the passenger seat, and stood in front of the car looking at a few young people playing ball.

Yue Haohan walked a few steps quickly and shouted, "Brother Jianming, why did you come here?" ”

Hearing the shout, Zhang Jianming turned his head, looked at Yue Haohan with a smile and said, "Hanzi, get in the car quickly, buddy will invite you to eat at the stall in the evening; In the past few days since you came back from the summer vacation, you have been busy for a case in Wulong Township, and you don't have time, so if you are free today, let's have a good chat. ”

After boarding the jeep and sitting down, Yue Haohan saw that in the driver's seat in front of him, there was a young man in his 30s, with a small flat head, wearing a gray short-sleeved sweatshirt, strong and capable.

Zhang Jianming sat firmly in the co-pilot position and turned his head back and said, "Hanzi, let me introduce you, this is Ning Haiping, the deputy captain of our criminal police team, Team Ning; My senior brother also graduated from the Police Academy in 85 years with a major in criminal investigation; You can just call Brother Ning. ”

Yue Haohan raised his butt forward and said, "Brother Ning is good!" ”

Ning Haiping held the steering wheel in his hand, turned his head back, smiled and swept Yue Haohan with sharp eyes, and nodded slightly.

When the car drove to Honghua Road, in front of the tax bureau building, I saw that Zhang Jianming's lover, Jin Xiaohui, was standing at the gate looking in the direction of the car. The Jiangyang County Taxation Bureau building was built in 86 years; It is located in the middle of Honghua Road in the county seat, which is very magnificent; Out of the gate, it is facing the spacious sunny road; Soon after the building was built, the then director was sentenced to several years for taking bribes in infrastructure. The second director of the bureau sent from the city worked for less than two years, and he died of 'liver cancer' at a young age, and I don't know who the current director is. Yue Haohan heard Deng Xuanchang say that the new building of the Taxation Bureau has committed a feng shui taboo.

After Jin Xiaohui got into the car, she said to Yue Haohan with a smile: "Hanzi, didn't you bring your girlfriend when you came back from summer vacation?" Let me help you with your staff and staff, sister-in-law! ”

Yue Haohan looked at Jin Xiaohui with a smile and said, "No one has taken a fancy to your little brother and me, who to bring?" Came back with a big bag of dirty clothes, hehe".

Hahaha! Jin Xiaohui bent down and smiled: "Big handsome guy, why are you so modest?" Or, sister-in-law will help you introduce one, our bureau just divided a few beautiful women this year, there is no master, help you introduce one, just like our little brother, even if there is a master, we will also dig her up.

At this time, Zhang Jianming turned his head and said: "You Shao Shabu Hanzi, this guy is followed by a reinforced platoon; Hanzi, the last time I was transferred, I saw that Cheng Ziying was very interesting to you, how was the progress? Why don't I teach you a few tricks, brother? ”

Jin Xiaohui stared at Zhang Jianming with a smile and said, "Stinky and beautiful, you!" , just your few tricks, it's almost the same to deceive me! Don't teach our little brother badly. ”

Laughing, Ning Haiping had parked the car in front of the 'food stall' on Linjiang Road and said: "Jianming, you get out of the car first to find a place, I will park the car and call your sister-in-law to come over, lively." ”

Linjiang Road in Jiangyang County is bordered by the 'Yangjiang River'; the 'Yangjiang River' is a major tributary of the Han River, which flows into the Han River in the territory of Junchuan County downstream; in the late 60s and early 70s, the state built a power station at the entrance of the Yangjiang River into the Han River in consideration of flood control, irrigation, and power generation.

Linjiang Road in Jiangyang County along the river is a low, messy red brick house, most of the frontage of the street are open popular small restaurants; In summer, because the riverside is cool, the small restaurants here put simple tables, chairs, and tableware along the riverside, and some even put kitchen utensils such as liquefied gas stoves outside to operate; This area of Linjiang Road naturally forms a unique food stall; This is the liveliest place in Jiangyang County in summer.

The three of them walked slowly along the food stalls, watching most of the restaurants bustling in front of them, and some of the people at the table had begun to fight for wine; In front of one stall, a chef was even wearing big pants, shirtless, with a blackened white towel on his shoulder, and was sweating and engrossed in frying lobster; Loud shouts, loud laughter and scolding, endless; Unusually busy and lively; It has formed a unique stall scenery with Jiangyang characteristics. Jiangyang people drink boldly and atmosphericly, often when the guests are still awake, and the people who treat the guests are drunk and climb down first. In Jiangyang, when friends gather, the 'host' sits at the top, the left hand position is the main guest, the right hand position is the main guest, and the other people can sit casually. Jiangyang people do not have good drinking habits; Generally it is a large porcelain wine cup that can hold about one or two wines, after the large glass of wine is full, it is initiated by the host's family, and three glasses are made together, the so-called 'three cups pass the avenue, drunk and natural'; after three glasses of wine, the host's family takes the lead in toasting; the host toast generally starts from the host and guest, and salutes from the right side in a counterclockwise direction, and the host drinks as much as the guest drinks; whoever wants to drink more represents the respect for another person; so this kind of drinking, if there are many guests, there should be seven or eight or ten people at a table to drink, It is often the master's house that gets drunk and climbs down first.

The three of them walked along the stall, looking at it as they walked, choosing a suitable location; When I walked to the middle part, a beautiful and plump young woman wearing a pink flower dress on a white background shouted: "Come to us, the authentic 'Jiangcheng prawns' and 'Yangjiang red bream', make sure a few people still want to eat after eating."

Zhang Jianming looked at Jin Xiaohui and Yue Haohan and said, "What's going on here?" It looks neater and cleaner than anywhere else. ”

Yue Haohan responded: "Whatever! As they spoke, the three of them followed the young woman to a position by the river, and the young woman held the order menu in her hand and smiled: "Just the three of you? ”

Zhang Jianming said: "There are two more people who will come immediately, first have a 'boiled peanut' and 'boiled edamame', the last 'Jiangcheng prawn', a plate of 'Yangjiang red bream', and then just two vegetarian dishes, just five people, order too much and waste." ”

The young woman replied, "Okay, when will the food be served?" ”

Zhang Jianming said: "When everyone is together, go up,"

As soon as he finished ordering, he saw Ning Haiping carrying two bottles of wine in his left hand and walking side by side with his wife Sun Jiangyu in the direction where Yue Haohan was sitting. Sun Jiangyu is also a teacher of the second elementary school with Chinese; 160 tall, thin, fair-skinned, the whole person exudes a natural gentleness; Sun Jiangyu and Jiang Haiping, who is 180 tall, form a stark contrast; Ning Haiping's face was slightly black and red, and his eyes were very sharp, not angry and arrogant. Yue Haohan sighed secretly: "Team Ning's anger is so heavy, it is estimated that it is an occupational disease." ”

When they arrived, Yue Haohan and the other three stood up; After Ning Haiping put the wine on the table, he pulled Sun Jiangyu over and introduced Yue Haohan: "Your sister-in-law, the second elementary school teaches Chinese. After speaking, he sat down on Zhang Jianming's left hand position.

Yue Haohan stood and looked at Ning Haiping and said, "Captain Ning, you should sit on the right side of Brother Jianming." ”

Ning Haiping said: "Brothers are together, don't call the captain in the future, just call me brother, today you are a guest, and I will be with Jianming tomorrow; I brought two bottles of 'Yangjiang Touqu' from home, and today our third brother will order liquor on the hour. ”

Yue Haohan didn't give in anymore and sat down on Zhang Jianming's right; Jin Xiaohui sat next to Yue Haohan, and Sun Jiangyu sat next to Ning Haiping. In fact, the 'eating stall' in Jiangyang County is especially good friends together, the main thing is to be happy, there is not so much etiquette, as long as everyone is happy.

After a few people sat down, Sun Jiangyu looked at Yue Haohan with a smile and said, "Is your mother Teacher Wang Sulan Wang?" ”

Yue Haohan owed a debt and said: "Yes, sister-in-law, my mother teaches mathematics, my name is Yue Haohan, I am studying in the History Department of Jianghan University, and I will graduate next year."

Sun Jiangyu smiled softly: "It's really not an outsider, your mother is the head teacher; I lead a class with your mother, and I've heard your mother talk about you for a long time; Didn't bring a daughter-in-law back to your mother? ”

Yue Haohan smiled: "Xiaohui's sister-in-law just interrogated me and said that she planned to introduce me to the beauties in their bureau; Today, I want to pay a few glasses to Xiaohui's sister-in-law. ”

Jin Xiaohui smiled: "I'm afraid that you won't like the beauties of our bureau; I am not afraid of you when you toast, look at how much you have to drink, and dare to fight with your sister-in-law. ”

As she spoke, the young woman brought a plate of 'boiled peanuts' and a plate of 'boiled edamame'; after putting down the plate, the young woman smiled and said, "Let's use it slowly, and the 'Jiangcheng prawns' will be ready soon." With that, he turned and left.

Ning Haiping opened a bottle of wine, except for Sun Jiangyu, everyone poured a full glass and said: "Your sister-in-law doesn't drink, allergies, today these two bottles of liquor are dried by the four of us, and we will drink beer after drinking liquor; Let go of the whole! ”

At this time, at a relatively large table next to him, there were seven or eight young men in their 20s, tattooed and shirtless; Strangely yelling and ordering.
