Chapter 175: Empty Wait
When I arrived at the township police station, it was already 12 o'clock at noon, and I heard the police on duty say that the director had to have lunch before he could come back.
Cai Baoman and the village chief sat in the waiting room, at this time Cai Baoman was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he got up at five o'clock in the morning to work at Lao Geng's house.
"I'm hungry, I'll go eat when the director comes back."
The village chief looked at Cai Jianguo next to him and said.
Cai Baoman raised his eyes and looked at the clock, it was only fifteen minutes away, and he could still hold on for fifteen minutes, looking at the village chief and nodded, straightening up.
I watched the clock strike one o'clock, fifteen, half-past one, two...... Before the director came back, Cai Jianguo's body couldn't support it, his shoulders began to loosen, and he leaned on the bench.
"Why hasn't this director come back yet?"
Touching his stomach, Cai Baoman almost didn't even have the strength to speak, and there was a cramping pain in his stomach.
"Let's go eat first."
The village chief looked at Cai Baoman, and was about to get up, but was stopped by Cai Baoman.
"I've been waiting for so long, I should be back soon, let's go back when I come back."
Cai Baoman didn't want to turn back halfway through the meal, so he simply stood up again, and estimated in his heart that it should be soon, but what he didn't expect, he thought it was fast, that he thought that that afternoon, the director didn't come back at all.
The village chief and Cai Baoman waited until five o'clock, and the people were on duty to change the guard and get off work, and the director had not yet returned.
Cai Baoman almost fainted, but fortunately, he was already hungry, and although he had nothing in his stomach, he no longer had colic.
"Let's go back."
The village chief glanced at the time, sighed, and walked out with the gift box.
Cai Baoman followed behind, walked a long way, the village chief didn't speak, his face was gloomy and ugly, and he didn't know how to comfort him, Cai Baoman followed silently, looking at this speed, he could rush back before dark.
The village chief suddenly got out of the car and hit the car ladder, Cai Baoman rushed to the emergency brake, also got down and put the car aside, looked at the village chief sitting on the ground, thought that he was hungry and dizzy without eating, and hurriedly went over to help.
"Come, I haven't eaten for a day, let's eat something here."
The gift box was opened, there were four small boxes in total, which contained peach crisp, bars and sesame cakes, hawthorn strips, and jujubes.
"Isn't this a gift box, I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat when I get home."
"Sit down and eat!"
The village chief was not polite to Cai Baoman, his voice was much colder than usual, and he handed Cai Baoman a piece of peach cake.
Cai Baoman didn't dare to shirk anymore, took over and sat on the side of the road with the village chief, and ate like this, this road is the main road leading to the township, two people sat on the ground, facing the road to eat, and all the people passing by turned their heads to look at them.
"The director has something, then let's come back tomorrow."
Cai Baoman ate two peach shortbreads in a row, and he felt a lot better when he had something in his stomach.
"Not coming."
The village chief sneered, took a bite of the peach crisp, and said lightly.
Cai Baoman didn't know the reason, and he didn't ask much, since the village chief couldn't say it, he had his own reasons, and he was originally an accompaniment.
"He knew that I was coming, and he deliberately avoided me, and this is the result when he comes tomorrow, Xi Wazi can only ask for more blessings, it seems that this Zhao Gang is not small."
The village chief said to himself, but there was a little more helplessness in his eyes, he seemed to have expected how sad Geng Xi's life at the police station would be.
Seeing that the village chief looked tired, he put Geng Shun's matter in his heart, thinking about finding a good time to talk to the village chief about it again.
"By the way, you just called me in a hurry at the top of the mountain, is there something wrong?"
Just after thinking about another day, the village chief actually asked about it.
Cai Baoman hesitated, but still shook his head.
"Big country, you always have something to say, hurry up, don't play dumb riddles in my team."
The village chief has a strong ability to observe words and feelings, especially Cai Baoman, he is too familiar, and he can see it at a glance if he is a little strange.
"The village chief, you are too tired today, wait for me to pick a good time, and then tell you about this."
"Pick a good time?"
"Hmm"
"What's the matter, give me a blind date?"
“…… It's not ......"
"What's the nonsense, what is the good time to pick, hurry up!"
With a click, the village chief threw the peach cake back into the box, looking at Cai Baoman's hidden appearance, he was angry and angry, and his voice became uncontrollably louder.
The passers-by were taken aback, for fear that outsiders would see the excitement, so Cai Baoman didn't fight him anymore, and told Geng Shun about the situation with the village chief again.
After listening to Cai Baoman's words, the village chief did not react, took out a cigarette pouch from his pocket, rolled a cigarette, and began to smoke it, which surprised Cai Baoman.
When the cigarette was gone, the village chief sighed, began to pack up the cigarette pouch and gift box, got up and patted the soil on his pants.
"Don't leave yet, wait to sleep here."
Cai Baoman relieved his nerves, and hurriedly followed the village chief and rode to the village, although the village chief listened to Geng Shun's affairs and did not speak, but it was obvious that the speed of the car back was much faster than just now.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I didn't go home, I rode the car directly to the door of Lao Geng's house, and watched the lock pillar and they help dismantle the mourning hall and drum shed, the village chief didn't take a second look, and went directly to the inside.
"Village Chief, why are you here?"
Geng Shun began to clean up Mrs. Geng's house, and when she saw the village chief entering the door aggressively, she was stunned at first, and when she saw Cai Baoman behind her, her face suddenly sank, as if she knew why the village chief came.
"Don't tell us about such a big thing, you talk about you girl, it's really not worrying."
"I've said it all, you don't have to worry about this matter, how can you tell the village chief about this."
Geng Shun looked at Cai Baoman, and shouted that he leaned against the wall and cried after shouting.
"Don't cry first, I don't have much time to spend here with you now, what kind of thoughts do you have, tell me, this old Ge family, do you want to go back or do you want to continue to live in that small shack?"
The village chief didn't even sit on the side of the kang, looking at Geng Shun on the kang sobbing there, he waited quietly, Geng Shun didn't say a word for a long time, and the angry village chief turned around and left directly, without looking back.
Cai Baoman looked at Geng Shun, pointed to what she wanted to say, sighed, and hurriedly chased out.
The lock pillar hugged the wooden pillar and happened to see this scene, calling Cai Baoman, Cai Baoman answered, and did not listen to the footsteps chasing the village chief.
Suozhu looked at the two people in a daze, confused, shook his head, and continued to work.
The village chief walked by himself, his mouth kept counting, saying that no one in their family was worrying about the village chief, and Cai Baoman also knew that this family really made the village chief worry a lot, and whoever put this matter on him would be angry.
I sent the village chief's girder car back, and I didn't stay long, and said a few words that relieved the village chief, and went home.
After a day of tossing, Cai Baoman was tired, and after dinner, he got on the kang early and sat paralyzed against the gable.
Cai Jun looked at Cai Baoman's haggard face, took off his shoes and sat next to him, beating his legs.
"Kid."
Cai Jianguo touched Cheng Xiaodong's head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.
"Uncle has worked hard all day, I'll give you a leg beat, comfortable and comfortable."
Cai Jun used to beat Cai Jianguo's legs, he came to Cai Baoman's house for half a year, whether it was food, housing, drinking, or use, Cai Baoman was the best for Cai Jun, compared with Cai Dani, regardless of relatives, treated like a son, Cai Jun was also grateful to Cai Baoman from the heart, if it weren't for him, it is estimated that he would not know what it would have been.
"Oh, I've run more than ten miles this day, and this back and forth is about to kill me."
Cai Baoman leaned against the gable, closed his eyes, and muttered, Xu is Cai Jun pressed too comfortably, and he was too tired, so it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
After breakfast the next day, seeing Cai Jun and Cai Dani sitting there idlely, the two of them went to the courtyard of Cai Jun's house.
The two children didn't know what Cai Baoman was going to do, and after asking several times, Cai Baoman glanced around, pointed to the farm tool shed and said, "We are going to do a big thing, to give you two little guys activities and bones." ”
So saying, he took out your shovel and broom from it, and walked towards another shed.
"Is this going to be cleaned up and the grain shed?"
Cai Jun knew that the shed was the shed for his own family to decorate grain, and seeing that the autumn harvest was approaching and the rice was ripe, at this time of year, every household would clean up the grain shed, and he had also cleaned up with Cheng Qian before, but most of them were unhelpful.
"It's still our army smart!"
Cai Baoman laughed twice, waved the broom in his hand, and always felt that he didn't take advantage of it, so he put it aside, and went back to his house to get his own.
The two little ones can't help with the big work, so they are responsible for transporting the messy things cleaned up by the grain shed, and the two people can still push the wheelbarrow, and they used to use this trolley to go to the well to fetch water.
But since Cai Jun fell into the well, Cai Jianguo has never let him go, and he doesn't need it at Cai Baoman's house, Cai Baoman will bring the water back before dawn every day.
"Junzi, Dani, you two put less on the car, you can't push."
Watching Cheng Caijun and Cai Dani add things to the car one by one, Cai Baoman instructed distressedly.
Cai Jun and the others were stunned and didn't listen, but after looking at it, they felt that they could push more, and then added more, and when Cai Jun decided to push, he was dumbfounded, and the trolley couldn't be lifted at all, let alone pushed away.
"Take a look, what I said, don't put so much, you two don't listen, you can't push it now."
Cai Baoman's tone is like the kind of ridicule between friends, following the two children, there is no seriousness and rigidity of parents at all.
Cai Jun and Cai Dani were not convinced, they glanced at each other, one of them was carrying the handrail of a trolley, shouting one, two, three, and the two worked together, and the result was conceivable, the trolley overturned.
Two people, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, Cai Baoman next to him was holding a shovel in his hand, and he smiled backwards.
Even Chen Lianhua heard the voice, leaning against the wall and looking at the movement of the courtyard, counting Cai Baoman who did not look like an adult.
"I've heard it from afar."
Hearing the sound coming from the door, the three of them turned their heads together, and looked over, it was a half-fairy Qiang, dressed in a gray tunic, standing at the gate with two gift boxes.
Cai Baoman put down the shovel in his hand and walked to the door to meet him.
"Brother Qiangzi, how are you doing?"
Cai Baoman was very surprised, only a few days before and after, he was standing here, and the wound was still stitched at that time, which was shocking.
"Old Zhang's medical skills are clever, and he has medicinal soup to raise up and down, if I don't care about it, I guess God won't want to."
Banxian Erqiang spoke with a joke, and Cai Baoman laughed again and again.
"Big brother, I heard Elder Zhang say that you carried it back to me that day, and I didn't have any good things to take out in my hand, so I bought these two boxes of fruits for the children to eat."
Banxian Erqiang handed over the gift box, Cai Baoman didn't take it, he knew that Banxian Erqiang was very polite to say this, these two boxes of fruits were exactly the same as the one that the village chief gave to the director of the police station, one box was more than fifty.
"Alas, alas, this can't be helped, I happened to see you lying injured in the grass that day, and anyone else can carry it back for you, so you're polite."
Cai Baoman repeatedly shirked and insisted on refusing to accept this expensive gift box.
"Brother, you are my life-saving benefactor, right, I will buy you two boxes of fruit to eat, it's not a big deal, I'm not giving you real money, just two boxes of fruit, besides, if you don't eat it, you have to give it to the two children to eat, if you don't accept it, if this is spread out, I don't repay my kindness, what kind of person has become."
In the end, it is a half-fairy, this is called a zipline, Cai Baoman, who said a few words, was speechless, looked at the two children behind him, and simply took the gift box, just wanted to raise his hand to let the half-fairy-child force him into the house to drink some water, but unexpectedly, the half-fairy-er forced him to speak.
"Okay, I won't stay longer, it's not too early, I still have to go to Shangliao Village, brother, you are busy."
Banxian Er waved her hand forcibly, and was just about to turn around and leave, but was pulled by Cai Baoman.
"Brother, you're going to Shangliao Village, but whose family is doing it?"
When Cai Baoman heard the three words of Shangliao Village, he thought of Geng Shun, and couldn't help but think of Ge Tianye and their family, so he asked more.
"Well, yesterday the village chief of Shangliao Village came to me. Said that they were going to build a land temple, let me show me feng shui, no, my body is just neat, come over, by the way, take a look at you. ”
Half Xian'er speaks with a smile in his eyes, which makes people very comfortable, and he is willing to listen to him.
As soon as Cai Baoman heard that he had nothing to do with the old Ge family, he didn't ask any more, and sent half a fairy Qiang out, and returned to the courtyard.
Seeing Cai Jun and Cai Dani staring at the two boxes of fruits, Cai Baoman smiled slowly, touched the heads of the two of them, and let them carry the gift boxes and take one back to their house with one in one hand.
