Chapter 161: Talking and laughing
Looking at Shuyan's remorseful expression, Yulin hurriedly comforted her.
"Tan Jingting doesn't have direct evidence in his hands now, he shouldn't arrest us immediately, according to my understanding of him, I guess even if he knows our identity, he won't do it right away, he must want to know more about our organization, wait to catch a big fish, and then catch us all." Yu Lin was speculating about what steps Tan Jingting should take next.
"I didn't expect your big brother Tan to be so insidious." So-yeon looked annoyed.
"That's what he did, and I blame me, I didn't take enough precautions against him, and I always thought that he was still the kind-hearted and restrained Brother Tan before, so he relaxed his vigilance. I think we'll go to Hag Road tomorrow, Tan Jingting's house. “
"Why do you want to go to his house, aren't we throwing ourselves into the net?" Shuyan looked at Yu Lin suspiciously, according to her thoughts, she should avoid Tan Jingting now.
Yu Lin smiled slightly: "With my understanding of my big brother Tan, he will not act rashly, and he is not completely sure, especially when it comes to you and me, he is not an ordinary person for him, and he will not act recklessly and take measures against you and me without conclusive evidence." ”
Shuyan listened to Yu Lin's analysis and felt that it made sense: "But what are we looking for him?" ”
"Didn't you say his wife was pregnant?" Yu Lin smiled.
"Yes, he told me yesterday and asked me what nutrients pregnant women should supplement."
Shuyan remembered the situation when Tan Jingting had a family affair with her yesterday, and felt that everything was so reasonable and logical, and she didn't realize that Tan Jingting was playing tricks on her.
"Brother Tan is in his thirties, he has no children and no daughters, and now his wife is pregnant, which is a great thing for him. As his brother, I can't afford to remain indifferent. Tomorrow happens to be Sunday, so let's go to Brother Tan's house together. ”
Shuyan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yulin's gourd, but seeing that he was confident and knew that he should have a way to deal with it, she put her mind at ease and obeyed Yulin's words.
The next day was a rest day, and after nine o'clock, Yulin and Shuyan went to No. 28 Haig Road, Tan Jingting's apartment, with their bags and small bags.
When I rang the doorbell, I heard someone inside talking: "Madam, go sit down, I'll open the door." ”
The door opened, and it was a woman in her forties, combed in a bun. Seeing Yulin and Shuyan coming in with large bags and small bags, they hurriedly shouted inside: "Mrs. Tan, there are guests here." ”
When Osmanthus heard this, she walked out of it and saw two strangers standing at the door, and she didn't know what to call them for a while.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Osmanthus looked at Yulin and Shuyan blankly.
"Is this Tan Jingting, Director Tan's home?" Yu Lin asked very humbly.
"Yes, are you colleagues in his unit?" Osmanthus asked timidly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Lu Yulin, and I'm Brother Tan's classmate at the Whampoa Military Academy." Lu Yulin reported to his home.
"Oh, you are Xiao Linzi, Jing Ting often talks to me about you, please come in, please come in."
Osmanthus seemed to see an acquaintance, and with a smile on her face, she introduced Yulin and Shuyan into the house.
After Yu Lin and Shuyan entered the house, they put the gifts on the table, and then looked around, this living room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy, well arranged, staggered, and the whole room is full of flowers and plants, a vibrant scene. This look is the osmanthus carefully taken care of.
"We are very happy that you can come to see me and Jing Ting, look at your politeness, and you have brought so many gifts." Osmanthus saw the gifts on the table, and felt a little unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Brother Tan that you are pregnant, so we brought some nutritional products over to see you, hey, isn't Brother Tan at home?" Shuyan looked around and didn't see Tan Jingting's figure.
"He went out early in the morning, saying that he would come back for dinner at noon, you sit down for a while, and I will make you a cup of tea."
Osmanthus was about to pour tea, and the maid saw it and hurriedly ran over.
"Mrs. Tan, I'll do it, and Nong will accompany the guests to gossip."
"It's out of the way, Sister-in-law Zhang."
"Mr. Tan told me not to be busy, just sit and lie down, and if you want to do anything, just move your mouth and call me." Sister-in-law Zhang asked Osmanthus to sit down and poured tea by herself.
"It's okay for me to sit or lie down all day." Osmanthus has never had this kind of courtesy, so it is very unaccustomed.
"Oh, ma'am, nong just sit down, or Mr. Tan will invite me to eat when he comes back."
Osmanthus was told by Sister-in-law Zhang that she had no choice, so she had to come to the living room with a smile and talk to Yulin and Shuyan.
"Sister-in-law, have you reacted to your recent pregnancy?" Sook-yeon asked with concern.
"It's okay, I vomit a little more in the morning, I just like to eat sour."
"Really? It just so happens that I bought some oranges and I'll peel one for you. After Shuyan finished speaking, she peeled an orange and stuffed it into Osmanthus's hand.
"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself." Osmanthus saw Shuyan peeling oranges for herself, and felt very restless, all along, she served others, and never thought of being served by others. Therefore, when others helped her do what she could, she always felt a little ashamed and guilty.
"Sister-in-law, this is your first child, right?" So-yeon handed the peeled orange to Osmanthus.
"Yes, I'm almost forty, and this is my first child. Therefore, Jing Ting was very nervous, and it is no wonder that Jing Ting's wife Xiaomei died in childbirth, and the child was taken away together, so Jing Ting is a middle-aged child, and he attaches great importance to this child. Osmanthus knows how important the child in her belly is to Tan Jingting.
"This is natural, Brother Tan likes children very much, and it is his first child, so, sister-in-law, you just listen to Brother Tan's words and have a good rest to protect the fetus." Yulin knew that it was not easy for an elderly pregnant woman to get pregnant, so she also advised osmanthus to recuperate more.
"I'm just not idle, and it's really uncomfortable for me to lie there all the time." Osmanthus is a hard life, so it's really hard for her to do nothing.
"Then you can sit and listen to the radio and talk to the babysitter. Sister-in-law, what kind of drama do you like to listen to? Shuyan asked casually.
Speaking of listening to operas, Osmanthus opened the conversation box and counted the songs she liked to listen to with her fingers: "I love to listen to the Cantonese opera in our hometown." Peony Pavilion, the Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms, Guanyin has the Tao or something, when I was in my hometown before, there was an opera troupe to build a grass stage team, and I was always the first to go to listen to the play. “
"Next time, I'll bring you a record." Yu Lin immediately answered.
"Really, and the record?" Osmanthus is very interested.
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll get it for you when I come back. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law is still a fan of drama. “
"That's what I like." Osmanthus was full of joy.
While everyone was talking and laughing, Tan Jingting walked in from outside the door. After entering the door, he was stunned, he didn't expect Yulin and Shuxian to come to the door as guests, but immediately, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, it's Xiaolinzi and Shuxian who are here, this is really a distinguished guest, sister-in-law Zhang, you go buy a few more dishes, today I will feast my good brother at home." Tan Jingting took off his coat and instructed Sister-in-law Zhang.
"Okay, sir, I'll go right away." Sister-in-law Zhang went out with a vegetable basket.
Tan Jingting saw a large pile of gifts on the table, and pointed at Yu Lin: "Xiao Linzi, you are out of sight, when you come to your big brother Tan, you still use this big bag?" ”
"This is not for you, it is for my sister-in-law, isn't my sister-in-law pregnant, so naturally she needs to supplement more nutrition."
"Okay, okay, then I'll take it for your sister-in-law, don't take it as an example."
Tan Jingting sat next to Osmanthus: "Osmanthus, are you getting better this morning?" I just went to the hospital and told the doctor about your reaction, and the doctor said that this is a normal reaction, but you still need to supplement more nutrition after vomiting, and you can't skip eating or eat less because you are afraid of vomiting. ”
"It's much better, Jing Ting, you went to the hospital for this little thing, and you were nervous. Okay, Jing Ting, you accompany Xiaolinzi to talk to her younger siblings, I'll go to the kitchen, sister-in-law Zhang will come back later, I'll help her cook together, it's not far from lunch time, the two of you can work faster together. Osmanthus hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.
"Osmanthus, you, you just can't be idle, it's really a hard life." Tan Jingting looked at the osmanthus with pity: "You go, don't carry heavy objects, if you are tired, go to the bed and lie down, don't take care of yourself." ”
"I know what I know." Osmanthus nodded at Yulin and Shuyan: "You guys sit." ”
"Brother Tan, you are really pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade now. I remember that when I was in the military academy, two female cadets from other classes invited you to a ball, and you didn't want to refuse them in person, and you didn't squint, which embarrassed the two female cadets and drilled into the cracks. Yu Lin teased Tan Jingting.
"I, ah, what I am most afraid of is that communication class, let me hug and hug those female students, which is even more uncomfortable than running 30 miles with weights. However, I remember that you seemed to be quite popular at the time, and several girls lined up to dance with you. “
"Really? Yulin, are you still so popular with women? Shuyan squinted at Yu Lin, making Yu Lin feel so uncomfortable.
"It's all about the rotten sesame seeds of old grain. Brother Tan, let's not talk about this anymore. Yu Lin knew that Tan Jingting was going to make a fool of himself, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Isn't that what you started yet?" Tan Jingting laughed: "I don't blame me, you lifted the stone and shot yourself in the foot." Shuxian, in fact, he still has a lot of troubles in the military school. “
"Really? Then I'd like to hear about it. Shuyan held up her cheeks and listened to Yulin's troubles with great interest.
"One night, he dreamed, fell off the top bunk, woke me up, I was about to help him, this kid swayed and stood up, and then ran to Du Xueqian's bed, the two of them were like this" Lu Yulin hurriedly stood up and covered Tan Jingting's mouth: "Brother Tan, stop, little brother forgive." “
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I will save some face for you in front of Shuxian."
The three of them were talking and laughing, Lu Yulin and Tan Jingting were constantly recalling some rare anecdotes in the military academy and in the 19th Route Army, and before they knew it, it was noon.
Osmanthus and Sister-in-law Zhang put the dishes on the table one by one.
"Jingting, quickly beckon the guests to come to dinner." While placing the tableware, Osmanthus instructed Tan Jingting.
"Come, Xiaolinzi, Shuxian, try the craftsmanship of osmanthus." Tan Jingting stood up and led the guests into the restaurant.
Yu Lin and Shuyan came to the table, looked at the sumptuous dishes, and were very amazed: "Sister-in-law is really a snail girl, she has made such a table of dishes with all colors, flavors and shapes in such a short time, Brother Tan, you are really blessed." “
"Yes, I'm very content now, Osmanthus is indeed a virtuous helper, wait for a few months, and add a big fat boy to our family, then my life will be full of merit, what more can I ask for!" Tan Jingting looked contented and happy.
"Yes, Brother Tan, I will go to Longhua Temple with Shuxian to pray for you, your sister-in-law and your future son. Everyone said that the abbot of Longhua Temple was very effective. Yu Lin inadvertently mentioned it while admiring the table of food.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Osmanthus heard that the abbot of Longhua Temple is very effective, so he wants to go to the temple to pray for the child in the belly.
"Really, Xiaolinzi? Is the abbot of Longhua Temple really effective? “
"Of course, the incense in Longhua Temple is the most prosperous on the beach in Shanghai, I heard that the old abbot is a senior monk, you don't have to open your mouth, he knows about you."
When Osmanthus heard this, her interest was even higher: "Then Jingting, when are you free, accompany me to Longhua Temple once, I want to pray for our family of three." “
"Okay, I'll take the time to go with you." Tan Jingting agreed.
