Chapter 445: Chinese New Year's Eve
Hu Lianfa looked at the time and took Guo Lin to the vegetable market on the snack street to dare to buy a lot of ingredients before the vendors closed their stalls, and bought some pots and pans and firewood, rice, oil and salt in the supermarket and rushed back to the house where the Doomsday Action Team was located, preparing to spend a Chinese New Year's Eve with these search and rescue team members who they admired tonight, and be exposed by the way, cook a few good dishes and have a good New Year with everyone.
Zhang Weimin also agreed with Hu Lianfa's proposal, after all, it has been 7 months since the outbreak of the X virus, and it is the Spring Festival, so it is time for everyone to take a holiday and rest.
At this time, the sky outside has darkened, the outside remembered the rumbling sound of firecrackers, the atmosphere of the New Year was suddenly set off, listening to the sound of firecrackers, Hu Lianfa was also unprecedentedly excited, more than ten years, Hu Lianfa has been alone for the first time to feel at home, and these search and rescue team members who have just met are also a good choice.
Wang Jingjian and Guo Lin cleaned up the table, turned on the light in the living room, turned on the wine they bought in the supermarket, put the dishes and chopsticks, and then lit a cigarette and ran to the edge of the living room window.
The smell of food came from the kitchen of a few households, and today's Captain Hu has become Chef Hu, braised fish, salt-and-pepper pork ribs, and spicy chicken nuggets...... One by one, the mouth-watering dishes were brought out of the kitchen.
Looking at the busy and happy Hu Lianfa, Guo Lin remembered his brother Guo Sen who had just been included in the search and rescue team a few months ago, if it weren't for this sudden disaster, at this moment, how many families are sitting around the table harmoniously telling the bitterness of the year, the old people watched the children toast themselves with smiles on their faces, the red envelopes prepared by each other were passed to each other on the table, and the instructions of the festival were conveyed to each other at the table, everything was so peaceful, the Spring Festival, the largest and most lively festival of the year, Japan should not think about this time, Fortunately, the rumbling sound of firecrackers in the Xinyuan community outside, how many surviving people brought a little spring.
Hu Lianfa finished frying the last vegetable and walked out of the kitchen, looking at the three members of the Doomsday Action Team who were already sitting at the table, he smiled and said: "Everyone, let's start here, usually a person is used to it, and the craftsmanship is not perfect, I hope you Haihan!" ”
"If anything, Brother Hu, hurry up and sit down, we will wait for you!" Zhang Weimin pulled out a chair for Hu Lianfa and beckoned him to come and sit quickly.
After Hu Lianfa sat down, Guo Lin immediately handed the poured liquor to Hu Lianfa, and the four people immediately gathered the wine glasses in the air, and Zhang Weimin, as the captain, said: "On this Chinese New Year's Eve, I hope that the mission we announced will go well, the disaster will end soon, and all people can return to the life they should have, and thanks to Brother Hu's help, it may be impossible to work for us, I am really sorry!" ”
"It's nothing!" Hu Lianfa hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The current situation is so special, for everyone's safety, a mere security job is nothing, if you really let the conspiracy of those scum succeed, let alone the security guards, there is no work left, think about the compatriots and search and rescue team members who sacrificed in the infected area, let's respect them first." ”
Everyone agreed, and then drank the wine in their glasses.
Put down the wine glass, everyone couldn't wait to taste a table of delicious dishes prepared by Hu Lianfa for everyone, and everyone expressed their praise, whether it was braised fish, or salt and pepper pork ribs, even the most common vegetables were eaten with relish, one bite after another, and Hu Lianfa was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Hu, it's a pity that you are a security guard with this skill, why don't you make a home-cooked stir-fry yourself, just on that food street, business must be hot!" Guo Lin said with praise while munching on the ribs.
Hu Lianfa scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "Brothers, I am too proud of me, I am just making a small fuss, it may be that you have been on a mission for too long, and you haven't eaten home-cooked food for a long time, if you always eat, you won't feel this way!" ”
"No, my brother is telling the truth, Brother Hu, your cooking skills are really good, and every dish is delicious!" Zhang Weimin immediately added.
"Okay, okay, come on, brothers, let's go again." Saying that, Hu Lianfa raised the wine glass again: "I wish you all the best in the next mission!" ”
"Good, good!" As he spoke, everyone drank the wine in their cups again.
The dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve was carried out in a row of peace, although he was happy with everyone, but at this time in Zhang Weimin's heart, he still knew very well how heavy the task was in ZZ County in the next time, on the one hand, he must always pay attention to Jimmy Tang's movements, after all, just today he has two more helpers, on the other hand, he must always pay attention to Gu Hua, the boss of Jian'an Construction, and his actions, Fleisman can dare to appear in ZZ County in person the day before the New Year, so it shows how much he values the deployment of the next task, This should not be taken lightly.
"What do you think, Team Zhang!" Guo Lin shook his hand in front of Zhang Weimin and said, "Brother Hu toasts you!" ”
Zhang Weimin Le Ke came back from his thoughts, raised his wine glass and touched the glass with Hu Lianfa, and after drinking the wine, he ate two mouthfuls of food and suddenly said: "Brother Hu, after so many years of doing it in Jian'an, do you know where Gu Hua lives?" ”
Hu Lianfa put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhang Weimin and said: "Captain Zhang, I know that I know, but it is not easy to find him, his son's residence is in the suburbs of his own villa area, but he is not at home all the year round, flying everywhere in the country, it is said that his business is not only in the construction of this piece, it seems that he seems to have made a fortune in our small county, but his wealth and business territory are not necessarily smaller than those big bosses in big cities, you think about a person who is engaged in construction He can check drug research and development, You know how far-sighted he is. ”
Zhang Weimin took out a cigarette and handed it to everyone, lit one and took a puff and said: "Well, Brother Hu, you are right, I also think that this person is not so simple, his snobbery must be bigger than Fan Jinlong and they know in our son FJ City, after all, he is a businessman, not only rich but also has many connections." ”
"Team Zhang, you suddenly care so much about Gu Hua, who is in Jian'an Construction, do you have any new plans?" Wang Jingjian asked as he puffed out a smoke ring.
Zhang Weimin did not deny it, nodded and said: "Fleisman can come to his company in person and ask to meet Jimmy Tang, presumably this Gu Hua's position in the behind-the-scenes organization is not simple, we may control him than subduing Jimmy Tang to get more information about the behind-the-scenes organization, and if we go down this line, maybe we can catch a big fish here!" ”
"Team Zhang, you're right, that's exactly what I think, I don't think we have to waste any time on this guy Jimmy Tang, it's better to turn around and go straight to get this guy Maybe the receipt will really not be less!" Guo Lin said. Let's play
"That's inevitable, since it has been confirmed that he was one of the investors in the research and development of the X reagent, then this person must have more inside information in his hands than we thought." Wang Jingjian also said.
"Yes, brothers, you're right, I'm just thinking about who we should put the center on at the moment!" Zhang Weimin finished his thoughts with a frown, and then looked at everyone.
After being silent for a while, Hu Lianfa, who put down the wine glass, immediately said: "Captain Zhang, it's not me who hits you, just the three of you have no chance to get close to him, I advise you to either be foolproof, or don't act rashly!" ”
"Give up, we can't do it." Zhang Weimin said firmly: "I just want to know where this guy has settled now, let's observe for a few more days before we talk." ”
"Captain Zhang, I'm really not joking with you, as for what kind of relationship he has with the Fleisman you are talking about or the behind-the-scenes organization behind this person, Gu Hua has a certain strength in our ZZ County and even the entire GS Province, whether it is his financial resources or manpower, it is beyond our reach, so ......"
"When is it time, you still speak for your former boss!" Guo Lin interrupted Hu Lianfa's words and continued: "Now it is the environment of virus infection, it is the key for everyone to survive this disaster, no matter how rich and powerful you are at the moment of life and death, what can you say, as long as we can find evidence that he has an affair with the behind-the-scenes organization, we can do it immediately, no matter what position he is in now, understand!" ”
"Yes, Brother Hu, what my brother said is right, now everyone is working hard to survive, we can already know that he is one of the people who have participated in the investment in the X reagent project, which means that he is inseparable from the X reagent, but this is not enough to prove that he has a direct relationship with the next X reagent mutation, so this is what we are going to do now." Zhang Weimin added.
"Brothers, I understand what you said, I very much support you to be able to catch these guys as soon as possible, but I have to ask you to pay attention to safety, I hope you can understand my good intentions!" Hu Lianfa said.
"Don't worry, brother, what you hope for will definitely be the final result!" Zhang Weimin raised his glass again.
However, this time Hu Lianfa did not raise his glass, and said with a somewhat lost expression: "Brothers, I believe that you have the strength to realize my expectations, but it's a pity that I may not have the opportunity to see it." ”
Hearing Hu Lianfa say this, the three people present were stunned, Zhang Weimin put down his wine glass and said: "Brother Hu, for the New Year, what are you doing in the middle of talking in frustration, aren't you sitting here well?" ”
Hu Lianfa shook his head and said: "Brothers, this time to assist you in rescuing your brothers, it must have alarmed Gu Hua, I believe he must also know your identity, so leaving you in ZZ County will definitely hinder the plan of organizing those people behind the scenes you said, then they will definitely do everything possible to find us out, it is nothing to have a security guard without me, they can recruit again, but if I help you, you will be considered your accomplices, so you will also be listed as the target of their arrest, The most important thing is that my information is backed up and archived with them, and it is easy for them to find me, so I will go home after tonight's meal, I can't bother you, if they want my life I want to die in my own cabin! ”
"What do you say! Brother Hu! Guo Lin slapped his chopsticks on the table: "Brother, I'll tell you here today, you helped us save our brother, so your life is protected by us, as long as we are in that group, don't want to hurt you!" ”
As soon as Guo Lin finished speaking, Zhang Weimin and Wang Jingjian nodded.
"Oh, brothers!" Hu Lianfa said helplessly: "It's not that I don't have confidence in your strength, it's just that sooner or later I will become a burden to you by your side, and I will affect you to perform the task, if you find me to be with you, then how can you continue to perform the task, how can you protect other citizens in ZZ County?" ”
The three men were silent.
Hu Lianfa continued: "It's easier for me to be alone, if they have the ability to find me, then look for recognition, but if they recognize you, it will be the end for everyone, you are heroes who can protect everyone, if you are planted, you don't need me to say, you should be clear, brothers!" ”
Zhang Weimin wanted to speak and stopped, he understood what Hu Lianfa said very well, although in his heart he couldn't bear to let Hu Lianfa leave alone, but what Hu Lianfa said was not unreasonable, he admired Hu Lianfa's idea very much, but he also felt a little helpless, helpless for the sake of the task, he could only respect Hu Lianfa's choice.
Seeing that the three were still silent, Hu Lianfa knew that he had ruined the beautiful atmosphere of this Chinese New Year's Eve at once, and immediately took the wine glass and said with a smile: "Brothers, things are so decided, who knows what will happen tomorrow, let's have a good reunion dinner, don't be silent, maybe we can still have a chance to meet, what are we doing with sad faces?" ”
Guo Lin looked at Wang Jingjian, and then at Zhang Weimin, who suddenly raised his wine glass with a smile and said: "Yes, Brother Hu is right, you can't be sad during the New Year, who knows what will happen tomorrow, come and eat and drink." ”
Seeing Zhang Weimin raise his wine glass, Guo Lin and Wang Jingjian also immediately raised their wine glasses, and in this way, several people pushed the glass and changed the glass until 12 o'clock, sending each other New Year's wishes.
Seeing that the time had come to 12:30, Hu Lianfa came forward and said to Zhang Weimin: "Brothers, I want to withdraw first, I drank wine today, I will call a price later, and I will drive away in the car!" ”
Zhang Weimin and Guo Lin insisted on getting up to send Hu Lianfa downstairs, but they were all refused, Hu Lianfa, who had a good amount of alcohol, actually drank well, and said very soberly: "Brothers, I'm leaving, I hope we will see you almost again, don't send it, goodbye!" ”
With that, he opened the door and walked out, and the three of them looked at the closed door, lit cigarettes, and fell silent again.
After about ten minutes, there was a sound of the vehicle starting downstairs, everyone knew that it was Hu Lianfa who called the price, came to the window and watched the vehicle slowly drive out of the Xinyuan community, the three of them were even more silent, I don't know what will happen to this old brother who has known each other for a long time, and whether there is a chance to meet, but this special Chinese New Year's Eve night is still unforgettable......
