Liu Handong smiled: "First of all, I don't have anyone to kill, even if I have, I can cook it myself, and I still use him?" Besides, the Omi criminal police are not vegetarians, can't they find the mastermind when they buy murder, forget it, I don't need him to repay him, get him something delicious to eat, drink, wash and sleep. ”
Since he said so, Zheng Jiayi shrugged his shoulders and had nothing to say, the two returned to the house, Liu Handong went into the kitchen and tore up half a roast chicken, sandwiched a few chopsticks of beef, and got some prawns and meatballs and the like, in short, it was all meat dishes, with half a pot full of white rice, thinking about it, he carried half a bottle of white wine in his arms, and went out with a small basin, Zheng Jiayi followed quietly and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Zheng Jiatu.
"Sister, what are you doing, mysterious and secretive." Zheng Jiatu asked with a smile.
"It's nothing, Liu Handong picked up a stray dog." Zheng Jiayi casually covered up, as soon as she went out, Wang Yulan shouted in the kitchen: "Where is the half-bottle of Huaijiang Daqu I used for stir-frying?" ”
After settling Cui Zhenghao, the two returned to the living room, Zheng Jiatu asked with a wicked smile, "Have you fed the stray dogs?" ”
Wang Yulanqi said: "Where did the stray dogs come from the family compound of the provincial party committee, even the wild cats were given drugs by the city management to death." ”
Mrs. Pan was confused and didn't ask about anything, He Jian and Shuiqin didn't know the situation when they first arrived, everyone else knew it, everyone laughed and didn't say anything, Wang Yulan was furious: "What are you laughing at, what's going on?" ”
Zheng Jiatu interrupted: "Auntie, don't worry about it, what's the matter, our living room is a little small, let's book a hotel outside." ”
Liu Handong said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the seats in the hotel were booked a month ago. ”
Zheng Jiatu smiled, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, said a few words and hung up, and said: "It's arranged, a private club, I booked a large private room, it's enough for twenty people, and there will be a car to pick it up in a while, Toyota Coaster, the car of the Provincial Party Committee Reception Office, everyone pack up and get ready to go." ”
His words don't count, but everyone still turned their eyes to Liu Xiaoyong, and the old man bowed slightly: "Yes." "That's when everyone started packing up and preparing their wheelchairs.
Wang Yulan said: "What should I do if there are so many dishes prepared at home, as well as meat filling and dumpling skins?" ”
Zheng Jiatu joked: "Didn't my sister pick up stray dogs, let's give them food." ”
Ten minutes later, a Toyota Coaster stopped downstairs, Zheng Jiatu pedaled down and opened the door, and suddenly took two steps back, his face full of surprise.
"Dad, why are you here?"
It was Zheng Jiefu and two staff members who got out of the car, he was wearing a navy blue cashmere coat and a gray scarf, nodding and smiling: "What, can't Dad come?" ”
"Yes, why not, sister, dad is here!" Zheng Jiatu turned around and shouted.
Zheng Jiayi was helping his grandmother down, and when he saw his father appear, he was immediately surprised, everyone knew that Zheng Jiefu was a provincial and ministerial-level leader, and he was a little restrained in front of him, just laughing, unable to say anything, but Wang Yulan was very open: "His uncle came just in time, let's go together." ”
Zheng Jiefu stepped forward to support his old mother, called out to his mother with a smile, and asked everyone: "Where are you going?" ”
Liu Handong replied: "Uncle Zheng, the place at home can't be opened, Jiatu arranged a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and we are about to pass." ”
Zheng Jiefu said: "What can't be sitting, there are many people to be lively, don't go, go home to eat." ”
So everyone returned to the living room again, and many people couldn't sit down at all, He Jian glanced at Shui Qin and quietly went out, Liu Handong quickly chased them out and asked them where they were going.
"There are too many people, so we don't add to the chaos." He Jian said.
"It's just that it's better to live separately, and it's uncomfortable to live with them." Mother also echoed that they are all honest and responsible citizens, and they are all restrained when they see the factory director, not to mention the big cadres at the provincial and ministerial level.
"Where can you go for the New Year?" Liu Handong was not happy.
"Go to your home in the Huanghua community to watch TV, you have to come back in the evening, let's make dumplings together and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." He Jian looked at the time on his phone, "The market may not be closed yet, it's too late to buy some flour and meat stuffing." ”
The old couple is very resolute, Liu Handong is in trouble, he is the eldest grandson, he can't leave his grandfather to accompany his mother and stepfather, he is in trouble, Zheng Jiatu came out and greeted warmly: "Uncle and aunt, come out to breathe?" My dad wants to talk to you. ”
Liu Handong took advantage of the situation and pulled He Jian in, and Shui Qin had no choice but to go back to the house, only to see Zheng Jiefu sitting next to the old mother, talking and laughing with everyone, seeing He Jian Shui Cress coming in, beckoning them to sit down, picking up the cigarette case on the table and saying: "Do you smoke, it's all your own family, feel free." ”
The big leader is so approachable, He Jian is embarrassed to go again, sitting on the sand to chat with him, Zheng Jiefu carefully inquired about their work, social insurance, etc., and then said earnestly: "It is not easy for demobilized soldiers, and it is even more difficult for laid-off workers, you two have worked hard for half a lifetime, but raising a good son, Xiao Liu is very promising, looking forward, the good days have just begun." ”
"Well said!" Zheng Jiatu took the lead in applauding, everyone also applauded, Zheng Jiayi shrugged helplessly, his younger brother always loves pranks, and even dares to make jokes about his father, and there is no TV camera to follow, it looks like a private interview with the central government, isn't it funny.
The door opened, and Ma Guoqing, who was wearing a police uniform, stood at the door with two bottles of wine, and saw a room full of people, a little unexpected, did he go to the wrong door? Take a closer look, there are many familiar faces, isn't it Zheng Jiefu, the former secretary of the provincial party committee, who was often seen on TV before, sitting on the sand!
Ma Guoqing was at a loss, in a dilemma, he was a grassroots police officer in a police station, and he had only been at the deputy section level for half his life, where had he ever seen such a high-level leader.
"Dad, come in, what are you doing at the door?" Ma Ling ran over and pulled Ma Guoqing in.
Jeff Zheng asked, "Who is this?" ”
Liu Handong replied: "This is my father-in-law, a police officer from the Huahuo Police Station. ”
Zheng Jiefu sighed, stood up and shook hands with Ma Guoqing: "Comrade Ma, you have worked hard, and you will stick to your post during the New Year." ”
Ma Guoqing's tears of emotion were about to fall, he clasped Zheng Jiefu's hand and said: "It's not hard, there are many things in the office, and when the New Year is over, it's all overtime, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the leaders of the institute will take the young people to bear it, let us who have families and hospitals and are about to retire come back for the New Year first." ”
Seeing that there were more and more people, she went to the kitchen to help Wang Yulan cook, Zheng Jia saw that her father was having fun with the people like acting, and she didn't feel bored, so she went directly into the study, Zheng Jiatu pulled Liu Handong to the balcony to smoke and asked him about the lawsuit.
"The lawyer I hired for you this time is a big one, a professor at the University of Political Science and Law, Guan Bao won the lawsuit, and you can't win to find me."
Liu Handong said: "Thank you, the house in the European Garden is okay, I left you two sets, and I will have a place to live in the future." ”
Zheng Jiatu smiled, patted Liu Handong on the shoulder, and didn't say anything.
It's time to eat, the juniors are busy serving the dishes, the big guys sit around the big round table, there is a hot pot in the center of the table, more than a dozen kinds of dishes, white wine and red wine are complete, although they are all home-cooked dishes, and private clubs, hotels can not be compared, but there is a strong taste of home.
However, this meal was not comfortable, Zheng Jiefu, the Lafayette, sat in the center, everyone felt pressure, he moved the chopsticks, everyone moved the chopsticks, as soon as he spoke, everyone put down the chopsticks and listened, except for Liu Xiaoyong and Mrs. Pan.
Finally finished the meal, the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks were removed, and a set of dumplings was replaced, and the Spring Festival Gala was performed on TV, Zheng Jiefu and everyone made dumplings together, here and there, everyone took turns to eat dumplings, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Zheng Jiefu seemed to be in a good mood, and took the initiative to mention Liu Handong's lawsuit: "Using legal means to protect your legitimate rights and interests is the normal channel." ”
Liu Handong was about to take the opportunity to sue Wang Shihuang for the situation, but Zheng Jiefu changed his words and talked about other things, he talked endlessly, no one dared to interrupt, at this time the staff stepped forward and whispered a few words, Zheng Jiefu said: "It's not early today, I won't disturb you to rest, let's take a photo together." ”
With Zheng Jiefu as the core, everyone gathered around, standing or squatting, shouting eggplant together, and the camera froze this moment.
Firecrackers have been ringing outside, fireworks are flying, the whole city is like Baghdad in the midst of war, Jeff Zheng walked out of the house, repeatedly asked everyone to stay, Coaster has stopped at the door, everyone watched Jeff Zheng leave, their hearts are still very excited.
"How many years have we not celebrated the New Year with Dad?" Zheng Jiayi asked.
Zheng Jiatu counted with his fingers: "At least twenty-five or six years, let alone the Spring Festival, May 161, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, he has never accompanied his family." ”
The big leader is gone, everyone's psychological pressure is gone, go back and continue to watch TV, play cards, stay up until the clock rings at zero o'clock, at this time the sound of firecrackers outside reaches its peak, even the sound of the TV can not be heard, Liu Handong also took firecrackers and fireworks out to put it, first lit a 5,000-ring earth red, and then put a bunch of fireworks, Zheng Jiayi wore a woolen hat and gloves to watch, the delicate face under the fireworks was not an iceberg, but like a cute little girl next door.
"You're going to put one?" Liu Handong handed over the fireworks, but Zheng Jiayi shook his head and turned away.
That night, the Zheng family sisters and brothers went back to the hotel for the night, Liu Handong and Ma Ling stayed to accompany the old man, He Jian Shuiqin and Ma Guoqing returned to Huanghua Community.
Early the next morning, Liu Handong got up and put on a suit and tie, today's New Year's Day group meeting of the School of Communications, he was going to host as the principal, picked up his mobile phone to see the time, but there were a few missed calls, probably because the firecrackers were too loud last night to hear, dial back and ask, it was actually Qi Lin's mobile phone.
"Uncle, my dad is in the hospital, and Lawyer Xie is also seriously injured." Qi Lin's voice was mixed with crying.
"What's going on?" Liu Handong's blood poured out of his head.
"At night, we were eating dumplings at the construction site, and a group of people rushed in and chopped indiscriminately, and poured gasoline on fire...... Qi Lin cried, "Uncle, come quickly." ”
