Chapter 85: The Flame of Longing Why is it too late to see each other

After the family banquet set in the Sichuan Mansion Restaurant began, regardless of the meal, the feeling slowly escalated from awkwardness to another feeling: very awkward.

One of the awkwardness is that it seems that the family hasn't sat together for a long time, and the shuai lang's ass moves from time to time like a thorn, and the frequency of moving is very high, every time he sees a beautiful stepmother, or sees his half-sister, he must be a little uncomfortable. The second awkward thing is that Fang Huiting and Mu Tangwei originally felt that the father and son had a surname more than the other, but it was awkward to the point that they didn't have a surname, not only did they have no surname, but they didn't even have words, Shuai Lang became an introverted and obedient boy, Comrade Shuai, except for the happy face to persuade a glass of wine and food, the most said sentence was: Eat, eat more...... There is also something more awkward from the little girl named Shuai Ying, who seems to like Fang Huiting very much, Fang Huiting also likes this black girl who looks very playful, sitting between the two women when she sits, the aunt and aunt are quite kind, Fang Huiting didn't realize the problem, and inadvertently made a small movement on the soles of Xiao Mu's feet, and saw Shuai Lang's expression of wanting to grit his teeth, and immediately realized the problem of this title, if she became Shuai Ying's aunt, she would be a generation taller than Shuai Lang. Aunt Fang, who is a senior generation, was also disturbed by Shuai Lang, you said that this is embarrassing, but fortunately, Fang Huiting knew people's intentions and corrected Xiao Shuaiying's words: It's not an aunt, it's called sister, this is Brother Mu, this is a handsome brother, right?

This run-in was reluctant to carry out the family banquet, and in the middle of the process, Fang Huiting suddenly understood why she and Xiaomu did not shirk the banquet in every way, and the Tong political commissar also specially instructed that she must accompany her to the end, at this time, I understood, maybe there are two outsiders present, how much can play a role in eliminating the embarrassment, at least not to turn against each other on the spot, drop chopsticks and leave, maybe this hard-working father and Tong political commissar discussed privately.

During the banquet, Fang Huiting glanced at the handsome Shicai with black hair and shiny hair from time to time, and this hair must have been dyed like this; Looking at the handsome man who was restless, and the smile squeezed out of his face, he was reluctant; Look at Chu Zhehong, the stepmother who greeted everyone from time to time pouring wine and vegetables, it was also so unnatural.

Hey, people, people...... Fang Huiting couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she felt that it was better to see each other for this embarrassing scene, saying that people are being controlled by life, but in fact, it is better to say that they are being controlled by themselves, and they are trying to save what I am afraid they can't get back.

Thinking wildly, until the end of the family banquet, Fang Huiting didn't know what she had eaten.

The group got out of the restaurant, and they could see the clues from the appearance of accompanying each other intentionally or unintentionally, Shuai Lang and Xiao Mu, who didn't talk much about each other, followed closely, Shuai Shicai walked in front of them, Fang Huiting led Xiao Shuaiying, and the camp automatically divided from a table, which made Fang Huiting a little funny for no reason.

Paid the bill, went home, not far from home, turned around the Tiexi section and entered the family home, the old-fashioned floor, the car was parked in front of the old unit building, Shuai Lang got out of the car, and saw that the stepmother and sister also came down, it is estimated that the stepmother instigated something, Xiao Shuai Ying jumped over and took Shuai Lang's hand to go home, and stretched out his hand to let him hold, Shuai Lang grinned and made a grimace and stuck out his tongue to bluff the little girl's appearance just fell into Mu Tangwei's eyes, Xiao Mu smiled and signaled...... And Shuai Shicai in the car was shouting: Shuai Lang, go home and sit down, Dad and these two colleagues do some business, Zhehong, you guys talk more, I'll be back in a while......... Talking, urging Xiao Mu to drive to the police brigade, obviously seeing Shuai Lang's unnatural face, Xiao Mu honked the horn and reversed and left, Fang Huiting waved goodbye, pursed her mouth and smiled, the laughter of these two people, no matter how you look at it, it makes Shuai Lang feel a little ridiculous.

"Handsome...... Shuai Lang...... Go up and sit at home, Yingzi come down, don't let my brother hold ......"

Chu Zhehong motioned out loud to Shuai Lang who was stupidly watching the car go, Shuai Lang turned around, just put his sister down, but this girl was not a good girl, dragging Shuai Lang to his brother's back, Chu Zhehong reprimanded embarrassedly, the little girl didn't leave, wiped her eyes to pretend to cry, Shuai Lang had to attach himself and shouted: "Come on, come, back, ...... on your back"

As soon as he said that he was on his back, he was happy, and jumped straight to Shuai Lang's back from behind, naughtily dragging Shuai Lang's ears, Shuai Lang shouted in pain, causing his sister to giggle, and the three of them went upstairs, Chu Zhehong complained that the little girl was spoiled by being a father, but fortunately, he was relieved to see that Shuai Lang was not very angry. Until 303 on the third floor, when he opened the door and entered the house to put Shuai Ying down, Shuai Lang didn't know what he thought of, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, a little relief, a little joy, and a little warmth all came to his heart.

Got home...... Got home...... The furniture in the three-bedroom and one-living room has changed a lot, unlike the empty home with wine bottles on the wall in my memory, looking at the small bedroom with the door covered, he subconsciously stepped forward, Chu Zhehong, who was pouring water, saw that his daughter was about to catch up, stretched out his hand to stop it, and made a boo in his mouth Don't speak, the mother and daughter looked at Shuai Lang, and gently pushed the door in with a pious expression like a dream haunting the holy land.

Family...... The home that hasn't changed at all, there is a blue photo of Jordan on the wall, it was the dream of high school, the bed was laid flat and neatly folded, Shuai Lang sat down, a little kind, a little strange, like I couldn't bear to wrinkle the hand wiped the bed, with a smile on my face, I felt it, and sat down next to the small desk, there was no change here, I touched the slightly concave traces on the side of the table, and smiled, the effect of this desk was mainly used to carry it as a bed-back, or it slipped away from the window along the sewer pipe, It didn't work out as a learner in the slightest...... Put the chair upright, turn around, the small bookcase is in front of you, the book did not move, the upper half is the collection of books in the student days, Jin Yong's full set, Gu Long's half set, the edge of the book was polished to see white, at that time, the favorite thing was that a bunch of half-sized children in the courtyard gathered together to argue about the advantages and disadvantages of Xiao Li Feidao and the rainstorm pear flower needle, which is better or worse, the Jiuyin True Scripture and the Sunflower Treasure Book, even the nicknames of the partners, such as Da Niu, Cheng Gui, Xiao Luo, Ao Luo, Lao Huang, etc., all originated from this hobby, and even discussed a monk in private. After all, the world-famous Shaolin Temple was there by car for five yuan at that time...... Laughing, a bunch of shadows of childhood friends flickered in front of me.

The lower level of the bookcase made Shuai Lang frown slightly, a bunch of alternative books, that is his father's, psychological indulgence, mental art, general psychology, traps, new books to deceive, tricks, speculation and scams, ancient and modern deception, selected fraud cases...... Two thick lines of books were rough and rough, and many new books were added, but as before, my father only liked to delve into and ponder literature such as deception...... In fact, there is always a little bit of influence between father and son, such as these things, Shuai Lang laughed dumbly, flipped through the book, and drew out a poker bookmark, when he was a child, his father teased his son to play a game that the playing cards did not change, which always made Shuai Lang fascinated for a long time and did not know how the playing cards changed in his father's hands; A little older, the physical and chemical things outside the number of words can't get into the mind, but like my father likes this kind of book Shuai Lang after reading it a few times, it is unforgettable, and even sometimes put it into practice, try to use theory to guide practice, and solve the practical problems of cheating and drinking and lack of pocket money, from which the nickname "flickering" comes from.

With a bang, Shuai Lang's childlike heart rose, and the playing cards turned a few times in his hand and disappeared.

Cluck...... A few silver bell-like laughter, Shuai Lang turned around, stunned, stepmother Chu Zhehong and her sister stood at the door, watched for a long time, Xiao Shuai Ying smiled and pointed at Shuai Lang's movements: "My dad will too." ”

"Come here...... Come here, my brother will teach you to play ......" Shuai Lang beckoned, the little girl who was bouncing had to come forward, Shuai Lang pulled out the playing cards from his sleeve, slapped his hands and disappeared, and asked the little girl: "Where is it?" ”

"Here......" Shuai Ying's milky voice tugged at Shuai Lang's arm, in the sleeve, no; There is no pocket in it, this is strange, I want to unbutton Shuai Lang to see if it is hidden in the clothes, Shuai Lang laughed and took it out from the back of his neck, which made the little girl laugh happily, blinked and played again, and then guessed the back of the neck, but there was a sleeve again, and it changed several times, the little girl was happy, and dragged Shuai Lang to lie Jiao, not to let her brother teach...... Chu Zhehong watched her daughter make a lot of noise, hurriedly got up and hugged her, coaxed for a long time, and then carried the little girl back to the bedroom to coax her to take a lunch break, and came out of the bedroom for a long time, looking at Shuai Lang still leaning on the door in a daze, she walked over lightly, and said apologetically: "Don't mind, Yingzi is still young...... Come to the living room and sit down to eat a piece of watermelon. ”

"It's okay...... I'll just sit here for a while......" Shuai Lang said, turned around, sat down at the desk, his hands on his cheeks, and his eyes looked out of the window, not knowing what to think.

"Shuai Lang ......" Chu Zhehong leaned against the door and called softly, Shuai Lang who turned back looked at him expressionlessly, very light, as if it was very complicated, he knew very little about this beautiful stepmother, and when his father remarried in college, Shuai Lang rarely went home, and he couldn't even talk about any deeper impression on her. Chu Zhehong still didn't find any signs of possible acceptance from his son, who was eleven years younger than him, not to mention that there was such a gap between the two sides, so he listened to Chu Zhehong ponder for a moment and comforted: "I discussed with your father, in Lili's affairs, we shouldn't interfere in your private life...... You have the freedom to choose, if you ......"

"No need, it's already over, I don't care, I'm afraid Lili can't accept it......" Shuai Lang interrupted this apologetic words, Lili is the first girl who made Shuai Lang decide to quit smoking and drinking and become a new person, but at the same time, she is also the stepmother's cousin, it may be a good thing that she has not developed, and if it really develops to talk about marriage, I am afraid that it will give this embarrassing family more embarrassment.

"You...... Not ready to come back? The stepmother asked cautiously.

Shuai Lang shook his head. Looking at the stepmother's beautiful and delicate face, thinking about the innocent Shuaiying, and thinking about the joy of a family of three standing together, if you add yourself, I am afraid that the harmony and happiness of cultivation will be destroyed.

didn't say anything, Shuai Lang seemed to be uncertain, home is the only one, and this home is not like it is set up for himself.

"Actually, when I first married your father, I also felt very awkward to be a stepmother to your son who has gone to college, if you want to be selfish, of course I wish you would never come back...... But after all, he is a father, and you can't cut off the blood relationship no matter how far you go, even if you can't accept me as a stepmother, I don't want your father and son to turn against each other......" Chu Zhehong said softly, like a memory, like a comfort, Shuai Lang turned his head lightly, saw the embarrassment on his stepmother's face, and saw the embarrassment that his wife, mother, and stepmother were also giving her at the same time, and he didn't say a word. Chu Zhehong smiled reluctantly and continued:

"Actually, your dad cares about you very much, and he blames himself for his mistakes when he thinks about it, although he is afraid that I will not tell me, but I know that he has quietly visited you a few times, and he only told me after the last time he saw you, and he has been complaining that he should not say so much......... It's been almost three years since you graduated, and your father said that he had seen you as a porter in the supermarket, that he had seen you and Cheng Yang go to the countryside to sell books, and that he had seen you take Luo Gang and a few people to deliver drinks...... If I hadn't married into your family, maybe none of this would have happened, and your father said that he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father and watched you suffer...... In fact, in his heart, the heaviest weight is not me, nor Yingzi, but you, he has not touched this small study at all, I think he is waiting for you to come back one day to live......"

A sobbing inadvertently interrupted the tranquility at this time, it was Shuai Lang, wiped his face, wandered in this belated family affection, moved to choke for no reason, and many accumulated resentments disappeared at this moment, choked Shuai Lang covered his face, attached his head, and silently eliminated the tears that flowed out of the air.

"Come back...... Whether you admit it or not, this is your home...... No matter what happened before, he was always your father, in fact, your father and son are very similar, and even the surname is so strong, you don't want to say a soft word......" Chu Zhehong said softly.

"Aunt Chu...... Thank you for saying that. ”

After a long time, Shuai Lang called him for the first time, and for the first time he called him so politely, he looked back at Chu Zhehong, and said with a sigh of relief: "Since you know that I have a similar temper to my father, then you should know that I won't come back......... If it were my dad, he wouldn't either. In the past, my father in my image had a rough temper, smoked, drank heavily, and beat me when he was angry, and the room was full of wine bottles and cigarette butts, since he had you, he has changed, he has a smile on his face, and he is not so drunk all day long, and now this family is like a family, he has you, Yingzi, how young do people look...... Who can bear to destroy such a happy home......"

"Shuai Lang, we are not hypocritical, this time he really wants you to go home......" Chu Zhehong was slightly moved, and he couldn't tell the truth.

"I really don't need to...... I'll come back to see it often, and besides, it's really a son, and I can't go there at home, right? …… I really don't need it, people always have their own lives, my dad found it, I'm happy for him...... I'll find it one day, and you'll be happy for me......" Shuai Lang smiled reluctantly, but gave a very resolute look.

Chu Zhehong wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, seeing that Shuai Lang was sitting and thinking about something, he gently closed the door and didn't bother anymore...... After a long time, Shuai Shicai went home with apprehension, and was pulled by his wife to whisper for a long time when he entered the door, and only after a long time did he come forward and knock on the door, father and son, in this small study, talked for a long time....................................................................................... "Hey, Sister Fang...... I've been waiting for two hours, and it's going to be dark if I wait any longer......" Mu Tangwei looked at the direction of Tiexi Road intersection and asked again.

At this time, Fang Huiting was holding a small notebook and flipping through the internal electronic information provided by the police brigade, the chaotic information was confused for a while, it was estimated that she was immersed in the confusion of the case, she didn't hear Mu Tangwei speak at all, Xiao Mu raised her voice: "Hey, Sister Fang, it's getting dark, the father and son must stay overnight when they meet, what are we waiting for here." ”

"Don't worry, it will definitely not stay ......overnight," Fang Huiting raised her eyes and said affirmatively.

This place is the starting station of the No. 27 bus, not far from the intersection of the Tiexi family hospital, if you want to go, you must go from here, Xiaomu asked in disbelief: "We can't wait like this, what if the father of the person drives the child?" ”

"No, Shuai Lang won't let his dad send it." Fang Huiting said.

"yes, that's for sure...... Did you guess both of them? Mu Tangwei was surprised, and said with a smile.

"This is a judgment based on the characteristics of the surname, Shuai Lang will definitely not accept the family composed of his stepmother, stepmother's daughter, and biological father, and his surname will not come back, and even if you look at the middle of the lunch meal, you say that he has to meet when he lives at home and goes out and looks down, it will be even more embarrassing...... Lao Shuai definitely wants his son, that's right, but he only wants to compensate his son in some ways, and he really has to choose between his son and his new home, I guess he prefers the latter, and they can come together because he sees that his son is already very readable, and he is very relieved...... Therefore, they are just emotionally maintained, and they don't live together......" Fang Huiting said a little proudly about the judgment of the psychology of the father and son, in fact, there is a little bit of selfishness in it, maybe I still want to meet Shuai Lang, I always feel that this alternative man is not like anyone I know.

"Makes sense......" Xiao Mu nodded in approval, but the question came again: "Then Sister Fang, let's wait to be a driver for someone and for that one?" ”

"Didn't the Tong political commissar confess, do a good job in the relationship with the brother unit, you see that Shuai Shicai is more concerned in the afternoon, the relevant information of the fraud cases he has collected over the years, and the fraud cases detected by the railway police, not all of them, as long as we need it, he will fully support it...... If you don't talk about it to others, can people be so concerned? Today is May Day, you go to other units to try, it's good to have a person on duty to entertain you......" Fang Huiting found a good reason, this Xiaomu was relieved, there are personal feelings mixed with official affairs, but it is human nature, and the two hours of staying with Lao Shuai in the afternoon are indeed very profitable, just the book of fraud selected by the police is enough to ponder for a while, these things are useless for others, but for the police who specialize in fraud cases, it is really eye-opening.

Waiting, waiting for a long time, Xiao Mu finally saw the handsome man who was walking from the corner of the street, and looked back at Fang Huiting in surprise, strange and strange, I really guessed the two of them, Fang Huiting smiled proudly, it was like saying, convinced, right?

drove the car, honked the whistle, and slowly drove to the side of the road, Shuai Lang stood still, and when he saw that it was still these two, he smiled and walked up, Xiaomu put down the car glass and shouted: "Hey, I can't go back, I will pick you up." ”

"Why haven't you left yet?" Shuai Lang asked strangely.

"Oh...... Research the case, forget the time......" Xiaomu made up a sentence. Driving the back door of the car, Shuai Lang got in, and was about to ask something, Shuai Lang immediately stared at Xiao Mu with a finger and threatened: "You care about my stepmother's affairs again, I'm in a hurry with you......"

"Who cares, you ......are talking nonsense" Xiao Mu smiled, not to mention that he regarded his stepmother as Shuai Lang's sister, patted the car door, ignited the fire, and when Fang Huiting looked back, she was slightly surprised, originally thinking that Shuai Lang would lose his soul or come out with a hesitant face, but at this time, seeing the faint joy on Shuai Lang's face, he seemed to be very happy, but I don't know how the two of them talked. As soon as she was surprised, she swallowed her mouth, she didn't say anything, Shuai Lang's interest was good, and she came up and said, "Sister Fang, thank you......"

"You're welcome, just don't scold us." Xiao Mu answered.

"No, I am full of gratitude to you and to the police comrades......" Shuai Lang exaggeratedly said, Xiao Mu smiled, Fang Huiting twisted her face in surprise, Shuai Lang smiled, and said solemnly as she pretended to be gracious: "In order to express my gratitude to you, how about I tell you a major case?" ”

Case? Fang Huiting glanced back and ignored Shuai Lang, this product has always been exaggerated, the last time she reported the pyramid scheme den, it was a twist and turn, until now Fang Huiting still suspects that Shuai Lang's report has ulterior motives. Xiao Mu joked when he heard the facts of the case: "Brother, don't stop the whole man A woman B fraud special service, that's not our business." ”

"Why don't you trust the masses? The eyes of the masses are bright, you come from the masses, everything depends on the masses, you don't understand the deep love between the police and the people, how to be a good policeman, today I met my father, and I am in a good mood, let me tell you, you usually spend money, I may not want to say it...... I really don't want to hear it. Shuai Lang said unashamedly.

"I don't want to hear it, Sister Fang, do you want to hear it?" Kogi asked.

"I don't want to hear it either...... Hehe. Fang Huiting played with the computer and said with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Shuai Lang was proud, and said indifferently: "You don't even want to hear the cutting-edge case of the telecom fraud case that happened in Zhongzhou in April?" ”

"Blow, hear something from your dad, tease us." Small wooden road.

"If you can know the facts of the case, you don't need us to come all the way to ask your father, but now it's just a peripheral investigation." Fang Huiting replied and didn't pay attention to it.

"I know it's a group of people who ride an electric flying convoy to get the money, right? I also know that after the fraud succeeded, the money was diverted to dozens of different bank cards, and the place where the crime occurred was not in Zhongzhou, but the place where the money was withdrawn was in Zhongzhou, right? I seem to have heard of it, what is the name of this leader, and what is his surname Liang...... relied on this method to make a fortune in half a year, and made more than 10 million ...... I wanted to help you solve the case, but you don't want to hear it, forget it......"

Hey, a sudden brake, Shuai Lang almost hit the front seat, a few words that had already shocked Mutang Wei and Fang Huiting were stunned, the two of them turned around, one of them was holding an arm, almost a suspect, there was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get a surprise, and the handsome Fang Huiting urged the suspect to urge the general sentence:

"Look at what you see, say it quickly, go down ......"
