Chapter 20: Before and After the Saddle

So, thanks to Yin Mei's gift, Tang Hongye and Du Juan went around in a circle and got together in the form of partners to prepare to complete the next visit and investigation work together, Du Juan did not take the initiative to fight for a group with Tang Hongye in order to go with the flow, and now he is also running the principle of going with the flow, and there is no awkward way to do any substitution tricks, and deliberately avoids. As for Tang Hongye, he just asked Du Juan if he was advancing by retreating, but it was just because he was a little annoyed by Yin Mei, so he didn't take it too seriously, what kind of person Du Juan is, he still knows in his heart, to say that she will deliberately use such a childish way to block herself, it is really unreasonable, so this topic will not be said, and his face quickly softened.

Although there is such a remarkable childhood sweetheart who performs well in all aspects by his side, which makes Tang Hongye feel a little pressured, but after all, Du Juan is a person who talks and does things quickly, and dealing with her is much smoother than dealing with Yin Mei.

At the same time, Xiao Shen's communication with Sheng Xingwang was also relatively smooth, and after talking about it on the phone, Sheng Xingwang did not show any special resistance, so Xiao Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked boldly with Tang Hongye and Du Juan in the direction of Sheng Xingwang's house.

When Lao Yuan could see Sheng Xingwang's house, Xiao Shen pointed them out: "Now, the place in front of you, the one next to it is Sheng Xingwang's house, when I called just now, it happened that Sheng Xingwang was at home today, if his wife is at home, no one should think about saying a few words, I dare to guarantee that within five sentences, the two of them will have to quarrel in front of us, and they will have to do it." ”

"The relationship between Sheng Xingwang and his wife is so tense?" Cuckoo asked casually.

"It's okay, in fact, it's not so nervous, anyway, my impression since I was a child, their family has been fighting, three days without quarreling seems to be uncomfortable, sometimes it is fierce, his wife will carry a wooden stick or something like that to chase him outside, Sheng Xingwang ran and hid, anyway, the people around are used to it, everyone will take it as a joke, Le Yile, anyway, the two of them will definitely not divorce, and they will continue to quarrel and fight in the future, so no one wants to meddle, Save the two of them and reconcile again, whoever runs to meddle in their affairs will become a bad person, how wronged! Xiao Shen replied as if he was telling a joke.

Tang Hongye looked at the courtyard not far away and the house in the low courtyard wall, the house looked very old, but it seemed vaguely that when this house was built, how generous it was, but now it is surrounded by many new houses, and this old house is dilapidated and sandwiched in the middle, giving people a sense of beauty in the twilight.

"Why does Sheng Xingwang's wife always quarrel and fight with him? Because Sheng Xingwang can't make money? He looked at the situation of the house, and probably had a guess in his heart, so he opened his mouth to ask Xiao Shen for an answer.

Xiao Shen smiled: "That's definitely the reason, we here, especially Shengxingwang, are all people of my father's generation, their ideas are more traditional, that is, to marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat, and women are looking for men just to eat and dress and live a good life." Sheng Xingwang's family used to be quite rich, from his grandfather's generation to the foundation is good, to his father's generation is okay, but when he arrives here, it is over, a single seedling, no one fights with him for family property, but he is not angry, except for eating the old book of the past, nothing else, you look at his big house, look at it is quite magnificent? His dad built it back then, and I heard my dad say that it was definitely this in the village at the beginning! ”

He gave a thumbs up, and then said: "What's the use of the result, he still seems to have debts outside now, how can he have the money to build a house, seeing that the conditions were far worse than their family in the past, and people are now living well, building a new house, living comfortably, their family still lives in an old house that has been so old for many years, and the house is in the hands of Sheng Xingwang, it seems that he has not changed anything else except for changing tiles, and he lives like this, and his wife is strange if he doesn't mess with him!" If it were me, I wouldn't do it! ”

As he spoke, they were about to walk to the door of Sheng Xingwang's house, Xiao Shen was also very interested and did not continue the topic, he walked in the front, pushed open the door of the courtyard of Sheng Xingwang's house, and took Tang Hongye and Du Juan along the potholed stone brick road through the yard, and came to the front of the house. ”

He shouted, and the person almost walked to the door of the house, a figure flashed inside the door, the door was opened, and a tall and thin man who was slightly hunched over opened the door from the inside and poked his head out, and when he saw Xiao Shen, he nodded, and glanced at the cuckoo and Tang Hongye behind Xiao Shen, his attitude was not enthusiastic, and he didn't say anything to them in particular, so he retracted his head again.

Xiao Shen looked back at Du Juan and Tang Hongye and gave them a meaningful expression, as if to show that the part he had told them about Sheng Xingwang's personality had been verified.

Three people entered the door, as soon as they entered the door, there was a narrow corridor, Sheng Xingwang turned into the room on the left, Xiao Shen took Tang Hongye and Du Juan to follow in, here is obviously used by Sheng Xingwang's home as a living room, and the spacious room is a group of blue-painted wood combination cabinets that look quite old, and there is a right-angle flat-screen TV that has almost not been seen on the market in recent years, and there is a fancy glass vase on the TV, There was a bouquet of plastic flowers that were completely unrealistic and dusty, and the cuckoo had not been seen in years, and the only thing in my impression was that I could vaguely find this kind of thing in the photos I left from my childhood.

In addition, there is no other big furniture in this house, only a few plastic chairs, and a greasy-looking folding dining table standing by the wall, the floor is terrazzo, there are many small broken holes on it, and there are a lot of debris on the ground, cigarette butts, melon seed skins, it looks dirty.

Sheng Xingwang himself doesn't look very "prosperous", he is quite tall, on par with Tang Hongye, but he is very thin, his posture is a little rickety, he is wearing a red vest that seems to have faded a little, and a yellowed white shirt is draped over his shoulders, and the camouflage pants on the lower body are rolled up at the trouser legs, and the left side is rolled up more than the right, and the two trouser legs are hanging there, one high and one low.

Sheng Xingwang didn't greet them, he sat down on a plastic stool near the window, took out half a pack of cigarettes from the breast pocket of the shirt he wore over his shoulders, shook out a cigarette in his mouth, and took out a lighter from his trouser pocket to light a cigarette, and after inhaling and spitting, he glanced at Tang Hongye and Du Juan: "You two are police officers from the Public Security Bureau?" You too? ”

The latter question was what he focused on asking Cuckoo, and although Cuckoo didn't know what he meant by asking, she nodded in order to have a more pleasant communication between the two sides.

"Your mom and dad are weird and funny, too! I can't take good care of my daughter, so why did I think of sending her to be a policeman! It's bitter, tiring and dangerous! Sheng Xingwang pursed his lips, and didn't seem to agree very much with Du Juan's career plan, "Besides, a girl's family, doing that kind of work all day long, can she find a partner in the future?" People with slightly better conditions, who would want to find such a fierce daughter-in-law! ”

These words were actually a little offensive to Du Juan, but this was not the first time she had faced such a voice, so she did not show any displeasure, after all, what did a stranger like Sheng Xingwang say and think, and it could not really affect his life and career, Du Juan was unwilling to be angry and annoyed for such a meaningless thing, and it would affect his mood and waste time.

So she just smiled at Sheng Xingwang and didn't respond, but pulled the topic directly to the purpose of their visit: "We came to you today to learn about Ding Zhengqing, you and Ding Zhengqing's father Ding Kangqiang should be more familiar, right?" ”

"I must be familiar with Ding Kangqiang, whether people are familiar with me or not, then I don't know," Sheng Xingwang's answer sounded a little sour, "For so many years, I have always felt that I take others as friends, I haven't read a book for a few days, and I can't say too nice words in crepe, I learned a word when I watched a TV series a few days ago, I think it means that I and Ding Kangqiang, how can I say it...... At somebody's service! That's right, before and after the saddle, that's the word! I have always been a saddle before and after Ding Kangqiang, do my best, I have always had a good relationship with him since he was not rich, I have no other brothers in my family, just treat him as my own brother, the eldest brother is called him short, have people treated me as a friend, I don't know this, it may be my hot face and cold ass against others, so what should you ask, it is hard to say if I can help, I will say this in front, I don't want you to look back and think that I don't want to cooperate with you well, and I don't recognize it if you give me such a big hat. ”
