Luo Lie walked over and lay down at the window and said, "Look for me? Is there anything wrong?"

Ye Qinghong nodded: "Have you eaten?"

Luo Lie shook his head, thought for a while and said, "Let's go have a meal together."

Ye Qinghong agreed without thinking.

Luo Lie asked Dong Zhijun to go first. He and the blind man got into Ye Qinghong's car. Ye Qinghong heard that he was visiting someone's house, so he insisted on buying a gift to take it with him. Luo Lie didn't be polite to her. Anyway, Ye Qinghong had some money.

The blind man, who has always been idle, suddenly became a dull gourd because of Ye Qinghong's appearance, and was obviously uncomfortable. It is said that the brine is tofu, and one thing is to reduce another. This is how the blind man treats Ye Qinghong. From the beginning of his wishful thinking to being lazy and discouraged, to the fear of keeping a distance in his heart, the blind man has completed his entire psychological journey without taking too long.

The blind man now thinks that women like Ye Qinghong are only suitable for viewing from a distance and cannot be too close. They are thorny roses. If they are too close, they are easily thorned. They are not as close as Zhou Xiaodie. When he thinks of Zhou Xiaodie, the blind man's heart suddenly becomes empty and lost. He can't understand why Zhou Xiaodie leaves him without saying a word, at least he has to leave a letter. No matter how bad he is, he has to leave a sentence before leaving.

Because of buying gifts in the middle, Luo Lie and the others arrived later than Dong Zhijun. When they arrived at Min'an Primary School, they saw Lao Hongtou had been looking forward to it in front of the gate. Ye Qinghong parked the car. The blind man took the lead and pushed open the car door and walked down. He called Grandpa Hong affectionately and enthusiastically and carefully introduced himself to Lao Hongtou.

When Lao Hongtou heard that he was Luo Lie’s best friend, he was so happy that he smiled, patted An Zhai Kuanhou’s shoulder and said, “Xiao Anzi, sit in it quickly.”

Mr. An Zhai felt that although this title was friendly, it was still a bit awkward. After thinking about it, it looked a bit like it came out of the palace.

Ye Qinghong also followed Luo Lie to Lao Hongtou. Luo Lie introduced Ye Qinghong to Lao Hongtou. Lao Hongtou looked at the beautiful Ye Qinghong, and then looked at Luo Lie with a smile. His eyes were full of meaning. It was obvious that he thought that Ye Qinghong and Luo Lie had a very unusual relationship.

Ye Qinghong knew from the old man's expression that he must have misunderstood the relationship between him and Luo Lie. She gave the gift she brought over and said with a smile: "Grandpa Hong, the little gift is not respectful."

When Lao Hongtou saw Ye Qinghong bringing a gift, he immediately raised his face and said, "What are you doing? They are all your own people, so how can you be so polite?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Grandpa Hong, Miss Ye's first visit is here, which is also her wish. You can't help but give face."

Old Hongtou heard what he said, and smiled and said, "If you don't look at the monks and Buddha's face, I will accept it for your sake. If you come back in the future, you can't be so exaggerated." The old man seemed to treat Ye Qinghong as a family.

Yingzi also came out to greet her at this time, took the gift from her grandfather, and was naturally attracted by Ye Qinghong's beauty. After Luo Lie introduced her to her, Yingzi quietly squeezed her eyes at Luo Lie, and her meaning was self-evident. Luo Lie knew that she must have misunderstood, but there was no need to explain.

While Yingzi was taking the guests around to visit, Luo Lie came to the kitchen and saw Dong Zhijun working alone inside.

When Dong Zhijun saw Luo Lie coming, he said to him: "Brother, you are here just in time. Hurry up and help me boil the water in the steamer."

Luo Lie walked over and helped to pick up the steamer and stew it on the stove. Dong Zhijun prepared the fish and put it in the steamer after the water boiled.

Luo Lie habitually took out the cigarette and handed it to Dong Zhijun. Dong Zhijun looked out the door with some guilt. He was sure Yingzi was not there, so he took it and pulled out a piece of firewood from the furnace to light it. Luo Lie also came over to light the cigarette and said with a smile: "Are you so afraid of Sister Yingzi?"

Dong Zhijun smiled embarrassedly and said, "You can love only if you are afraid, and you will be afraid only if you love. When you marry a wife in the future, you will understand." After taking a sip of cigarettes, he said mysteriously: "That Miss Ye seems to have a very different relationship with you."

Luo Lie burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? I can see."

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, you have misunderstood this time. I am an ordinary friend to her."

Dong Zhijun said: "I am also a policeman in the German Concession, you can't deceive me."

Luo Lie quickly changed the topic and said, "How are you and Sister Yingzi?"

Dong Zhijun sighed and said, "Fortunately, I finally didn't mention divorce from me, but I still don't want to go back with me. I've been too busy recently and I have few opportunities to meet."

Luo Lie said: "Don't neglect Sister Yingzi because of her work."

When it comes to work, Dong Zhijun also felt a headache. Recently, things have been happening in the German Concession. Their patrol officers were also exhausted and blew up the ashes and said, "Do you have any news about Bai Yunfei?"

Luo Lie shook his head. Of course, he would not disclose this matter easily: "I have no friendship with him, and that kind of thing happened again, so naturally, you should stay away from him."

Dong Zhijun did not have any suspicion and nodded, saying, "Bai Yunfei is a wanted criminal from all parties, so it is best not to have anything to do with him."

Luo Lie said: "Is the upper part pressing tightly?"

Dong Zhijun said: "Fortunately, we thought that the murder of the consul was a big deal, and we might have to take responsibility for this matter. But now the German concession is panic. The German army retreated step by step on the European battlefield. It is said that they will surrender recently. Once it becomes a fact, they will not even be able to protect the concession. Who is still in the mood to care about this matter?" Stopped and took a breath of cigarettes and said: "Most of the concessions are nervous. If the German concession is gone, we will lose our jobs, so, there is no motivation for everyone to investigate the case."

Dong Zhijun was once an ambitious and passionate young man, but he has been tempered in the real society, and his former enthusiasm and edges have gradually been smoothed out, and his whole body has become much more realistic and has become much more merciless. If the German Concession is gone, life will continue. This is the most realistic problem before him and his colleagues.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. Even if the German Concession is gone, the police will still be needed. Otherwise, who will maintain the public security?"

Dong Zhijun nodded: "The fish is steamed, let's drink."

Luo Lie originally thought that Ye Qinghong's identity and temperament would be incompatible with other people here, but she and Yingzi were not sure that she and Yingzi were quite in love. Yingzi took her to visit the campus, and the two even went to Yingzi's room to chat for a long time. Luo Lie always felt that the topic between them was related to him, and even Ye Qinghong's eyes were joking when he looked at him. Luo Lie even thought that Yingzi had shared his beagle's nickname with Ye Qinghong without reservation.

The blind man is quite popular with the old man. This guy is so sweet that he is like smearing honey, which makes Lao Hongtou laugh.

Lao Hongtou was generous and hospitable, and opened another jar of treasured wine.

Luo Lie remembered that when he came last time, the old man once said that this jar of wine should be kept for later drinking. At that time, he said that if Dong Zhijun and his wife had a child first, they would give it to them. If he married his wife first, they would give it to him. I didn’t expect that everyone would share it so soon. It would be fine, and everyone would enjoy the rain and dew.

Yingzi was worried that her grandfather would drink too much, so she would not let him drink it again after he drank six cups.

Old Hongtou was obedient and put down the last glass of wine and said, "I originally wanted to keep this jar of wine for betting with you, but I think back and think about it. I am already a person with no loess to the neck. I don't know how many days I will live, so I'll drink this jar of wine while you are by my side. Some things, even if I think about it, I may not be able to see that blessing."

Yingzi knew what he wanted to say again: "Grandpa, everyone is happy, don't say anything disappointed."

Lao Hongtou said, "I have been nagging for a few days. In the past two days, I often wonder what a person wants in his life? When I was young, I was an extremely strong person. I couldn't rub the sand in my eyes, stood up for justice, and did things that I always do when I was brave. Later, I gave birth to three sons. As a child, I taught them that the most important thing in life is to stand up to the sky, be worthy of the heaven and earth, be worthy of our ancestors, and be worthy of our conscience."

Yingzi bit her lip and stopped her and said, "Grandpa, you are drunk, stop talking."

Old Hongtou smiled and said, "I'm not drunk and I'm very awake. Today, it's rare that you have so many children with me, this old man. Let me say a few words, don't you bother me, right?"

The blind man said, "Grandpa Hong, I want to listen." This guy's mouth was sweet, and the rest nodded.

Lao Hongtou said, "I've been alive for almost my whole life. I've lived a frustrated life. My eldest son died in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. I sent him to the army. I learned about his death. I didn't shed a tear. Life is dead, but I died as a result. What hatred does my husband hate? Later, my youngest son joined the Boxer Rebellion, burned churches, and killed foreigners. He did not die in the hands of foreigners, but died under the sword of the Qing court. Finally, he said that he was a rebellionist. When he died, I didn't shed tears. The Eight-Nation Alliance robbed our land and bullied our people. My son stood up and was not afraid of the emperor. He was not embarrassed to fight for this tone." He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it clean.

Yingzi didn't say anything and silently added another glass of wine to the old man.

Lao Hongtou said, "Since then, I set a rule that my family would not talk about state affairs. Yingzi's father was my second son. He was honest and dull, obedient and humble. They had Yingzi shortly after their marriage, and the couple taught here. I thought at that time, I didn't seek wealth or honor, nor did I ask for family honor. The family would be safe and sound like this, but I never expected that my son and daughter-in-law, who had been honest, became a revolutionary party overnight, and they wanted to revolutionize the Qing Dynasty."
