At dusk, the setting sun casts its reluctant brilliance on the dark roof of the house, peaceful and serene.
Under the big locust tree, children read loudly.
"A little lamb. One afternoon, Bart heard a bleating sound on his way home from school..."
Ran Qiuye and He Yuyu were holding textbooks and wandering among the children.
When they see children who are not studying seriously, they will lean down to remind them.
Children who are distracted often blush instantly, point their fingers at the textbook, and read at the top of their lungs.
This scene made the adults who had just got off work nod with joy.
A child who usually refuses to be whipped with a brass belt at home is as well-behaved as a little white rabbit in front of the teacher.
The five dollars are well spent.
My child is studying seriously, and the adults watching beside me feel very happy.
He asked his mother-in-law to go back to cooking, and they stood not far away and started chatting.
"Have you heard? Dr. Li won a certificate from the district."
"Why haven't you heard about it? I went to a restaurant today and the waiter's attitude was very good."
"At the time, I thought I had entered the wrong place. Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that the district had launched a rectification campaign."
"This activity was proposed by Dr. Li. I heard that he took down Fan Jinyou from the tavern."
"You deserve it. People like Fan Jin who look down on others should be assigned to carry sacks."
...
"Hey, isn't this Damao? Don't rush back, let's chat for a while." A sharp-eyed worker saw Xu Damao walking in from the outside with a small leather bag under his arm, and greeted him quickly.
During this period, Xu Damao actively cultivated relationships with his neighbors in order to welcome the upcoming inspection team.
Melon seeds, peanuts, pecans, millet and other things obtained from fellow villagers were delivered door to door without blinking an eye.
Too arrogant.
Being soft-spoken, everyone became enthusiastic about Xu Damao.
"No, I've been busy all day and want to go back home and rest for a while." Xu Damao lowered his head and walked through the crowd.
The worker who stretched out his hand to stop him looked at his back and scratched his head in confusion: "Da Mao is not in a good mood today, and his lips are also blue. Something must have happened."
...
"Something happened! Something big happened!"
After returning to the house, Xu Damao closed the door, picked up the enamel bowl on the table, and threw it to the ground with hatred.
The pieces of the porcelain bowl were flying, just like his mood.
this afternoon.
Xu Damao, who was joking with the old lady in the office of the University of Science and Technology of China, was called into the woods by Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai's words shocked Xu Damao out of his wits.
"Da Mao, are you in love with Deputy Factory Director Li's wife?"
Of course Xu Damao refused to admit it, but Yi Zhonghai told what happened last night in a very convincing way, and even said that there were witnesses.
Once this kind of thing spreads, it will be dead.
If Xu Damao hadn't felt that he couldn't defeat Yi Zhonghai, he would have wanted to get rid of him and then dig a hole and bury him.
At worst, I can burn some paper money for him during the holidays.
Uh, it's so shabby now, can't we burn paper money?
That's great, this money is saved too.
...
Murder was not an option, and others had witnesses. Xu Damao could only plead hard to protect himself.
"Master, you are the moral model of our courtyard and you are always eager to help others. It was just a beautiful mistake of Mrs. Li and I. I forgot your teachings for a moment and failed to control myself. I will definitely correct my mistakes in the future, please
Trust me and give me another chance."
"Oh, originally, I was so enlightened about this kind of thing, I should have reported it to the factory security department immediately. But who made me the boss of the courtyard? How could I just watch you being taken away."
After Yi Zhonghai showed his true colors for your own good, he made two requests.
One is to take out 100 yuan as the witness's travel expenses.
The second is to ask Deputy Director Li to give up investigating Jia Xudong's injury and ask Qin Huairu to take over as soon as possible.
Faced with the threat, Xu Damao could only agree.
At that time, Yi Zhonghai still put on a sanctimonious look and patted him on the shoulder: "Da Mao, you should thank me, I am also doing it for your own good. If I hadn't stopped you, I would have already reported you to Yang
The factory director is here."
Naturally, Xu Damao would not believe what Yi Zhonghai said.
He, Xu Damao, is a man who can steal chickens from fellow villagers' yards. How clever he is.
Yi Zhonghai always regarded himself as a moral model in the courtyard house. He could deceive the residents, but he could not deceive Xu Damao.
However, there is no other way now but to follow Yi Zhonghai's words.
Xu Damao picked up a bowl of yellow-orange water and poured it into his stomach. His mood calmed down slightly and he began to analyze the whole thing.
Last night, I went to Deputy Factory Director Li's house to perform ventriloquism in the middle of the night. People in the courtyard must have seen me.
That person told Yi Zhonghai what happened, and then Yi Zhonghai blackmailed him.
Judging from the blackmail conditions, that person must be short of money.
And the relationship with the Jia family.
To be precise, he has a good relationship with Qin Huairu.
that person.
Only.
yes.
Silly column!
Xu Damao's eyes suddenly turned red, and his teeth clenched loudly.
Silly Zhu, don't fall into my hands.
Otherwise, I will kill you!
Xu Damao was able to fulfill both of these blackmail demands.
He is not short of money.
As a projectionist, in addition to his basic salary, Xu Damao also received a rural subsidy, adding up to miscellaneous items every month, which amounted to forty yuan.
He is not married yet, and his house is also a public rental house in a steel rolling mill, so the expenses are not high.
I have saved a lot of money over the years.
In the past half month, he had been performing ventriloquism very hard. Director Li's wife felt that he was working hard and gave him a lot of money every time.
As for the second condition, it is even simpler.
Deputy Factory Director Li relied on the power of his wife's family to get to the position.
If Mrs. Li blows the pillow, Deputy Director Li will definitely not refuse.
Well, it depends on the performance at night.
Xu Damao stood up and lay down on the bed unsteadily.
Cultivation of raw chicken.

Li Donglai also caused a sensation when he came back from get off work.
"Oh, Dr. Li is back. What you did is truly righteous." Wang Gangzhu gave a thumbs up and blocked his way.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone gathered around and talked about it.
"That's right, Fan Jinyou is that bastard who is too arrogant."
"When we heard that he was dismissed from office, our old buddies were very happy."
...
Ding Qiunan, who was following Li Donglai, felt as sweet as drinking brown sugar water.
This rough guy went to have a meal and helped Xu Huizhen take back the tavern.
Xu Huizhen also took the initiative to ask them to hold the wedding banquet in a tavern.
The tavern is a century-old establishment, and its reputation among nearby residents is no better than that of Dong Lai Shuang.
Being able to hold a wedding banquet in a tavern is absolutely top-notch.
Who’s eldest girl doesn’t want her man to be capable?
She looked at Li Donglai with bright eyes.
Entered the house.
He got ahead of Li Donglai and picked up the enamel basin and took a basin of water from the tap.
Put it gently on the washstand and whisper softly: "Brother Donglai, wash your face."
Ha, Ding Qiunan today looks more and more like a little daughter-in-law.
Li Donglai washed himself in the basin, and Ding Qiunan handed over another towel.
Li Donglai sat on a chair and flipped through the information, while Ding Qiunan took the initiative to run to the coal stove and get busy.
Soon, two bowls of cold noodles came out of the oven.
The white noodles are sprinkled with green onion and cucumber shreds, and then topped with a layer of bright red chili pepper.
It’s pleasing to look at and refreshing to eat.
On a hot summer day, it’s so delicious to have a bowl of cold noodles.
Li Donglai finished a large bowl in three strokes, five strokes, and two strokes. Just as he was about to stand up, Ding Qiunan brought over a bowl of noodle soup.
After eating cold noodles and then drinking noodle soup, this is called original soup and original food.
In Li Donglai's memory, an adult told such a story when he was a child.
[In the story, a scholar who was rushing to take an exam passed by a small village.
The kind-hearted peasant woman made him a bowl of cold noodles.
After eating the cold noodles, the scholar didn't like the noodle soup, so he secretly poured it away.
The aunt pretended not to notice and just served another bowl of noodle soup.
Put it in the cabinet (or maybe in the bowl, I can’t remember clearly.)
The scholar was very talented and was a Jinshi in high school. He was also spotted by the daughter of a high official and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.
Promotion and fortune, bridal chamber with flowers and candles, the beauty of the world is just around the corner, but the scholar is sick.
In just half a month, he became skinny and sallow, and needed help when walking.
The high official was also very anxious and consulted many doctors and even invited the imperial physician to treat him, but the result was still not good.
A high-ranking official cannot marry his daughter to a sick man, as the marriage will naturally fall through.
Just when the scholar thought his life was over, he met a wandering doctor.
The doctor told the scholar that he fell ill because he did not drink the bowl of noodle soup.
The scholar quickly asked his family to send him to a small village.
The peasant woman seemed to have known that he was coming back and brought out the bowl of noodle soup that had been there for several months.
The scholar drank it all in one gulp and recovered from his illness the next day.
In order to thank the peasant woman, he married the peasant woman's daughter.
From then on, the two lived a happy life.]
This story, like all folk tales, is full of absurdity.
For example, if the noodle soup has been stored for several months, can it still be drunk?
From Li Dong's point of view, this story is actually exactly the same as the story of Little Red Riding Hood, which is to make children drink noodle soup obediently.
The noodle soup tastes a bit bland and really doesn't taste good.
When I grew up and studied medicine, I was surprised to find that this folk tale actually contained medical principles.
As the noodles cook, the starch on the surface will disperse into the soup.
When heated to 100 degrees Celsius, starch granules will decompose into lake essence, which can help digest food and become digestive enzymes.
Also, some soluble vitamins are released during the cooking process of noodles.
So drinking noodle soup not only helps digestion, but also supplements vitamins.
Sure enough, behind every folk rumor, there is the simple wisdom of ordinary people.
Li Donglai drank a large bowl of noodle soup in one breath and burped beautifully.
Ding Qiunan handed over another wet towel.
This surprised Li Donglai.
To be precise, since he entered the house, he felt that there was something abnormal about Ding Qiunan.
In the past, Ding Qiunan would also help him with these trivial tasks.
But I won't be so 'considerate'.
Being so diligent is either cheating or stealing.
I definitely can't 'steal' from my own family, so all that's left is...
"Are you planning something wrong?" Li Donglai asked.
"No, how can that be possible?" Ding Qiunan whispered shyly and coquettishly, lowering his head and tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Li Donglai has been busy with work these two days, and the two of them have almost no time to see each other. She kind of misses going to the morgue to practice CPR.
That kind of soreness, numbness, tingling, itching, and trembling comfort made Ding Qiunan unable to taste food and couldn't sleep at night.
Li Donglai glanced at her, she was sweating and her cheeks were flushed, and he naturally understood her little thoughts.
Looking closely at Ding Qiunan, I realized that she seemed to have been specially dressed today.
The thin shirt with blue flowers printed on it cannot hide the bulge at all, making the waist look slender and curvy.
The trousers made of herringbone fabric tightly hug her pert buttocks, and her two long legs look particularly straight, which is sultry.
Hehehe smiled.
As the old saying goes, there's nothing better to do when you're full and warm.
Close the door, rake the grass and hunt rabbits.
...
Qin Huairu, who was coming back from the park, passed by the door and turned pale when she heard the uncontrollable sound coming from inside.
