In March in Beijing, the sun is warm and the breeze is gentle. In the courtyard of Mao Mao Hutong, the long-lost laughter can be heard.
"Hey, we left Section Chief Du in the cold. What a sin, what a sin! Hahaha!"
Li Xiaomeng was laughing heartlessly at the moment. She and Du Weiguo had known each other for the first time and had similar temperaments, so they were already quite familiar with each other.
Moreover, her marriage was brokered by Du Weiguo, not to mention that her partner was Du Weiguo's top horse, and he was a loyal subordinate, so he was naturally capable of making jokes.
Compared with her, Bart's wife is more deep and reserved. After all, she is older and has experienced more hardships.
Before marrying Bart, she was a widowed mother with a child. It was extremely difficult for her to survive, even if it was unpleasant to say the least.
As for how many hardships she has experienced and what it feels like, probably only she herself knows.
"Li Xiaomeng, when are you planning to visit? I'm warning you, you'd better not mess with me, otherwise I'll transfer Wang Yang, your wife, directly to Liupanshui, so that you can feel the separation between the two places."
Du Weiguo laughed and joked with her, his tone was cheerful, he felt the relaxed atmosphere that he had not seen for a long time, this kind of leisurely life atmosphere that was extremely full of fireworks, he really felt that it was both distant and intimate.
Li Xiaomeng is a saleswoman at Wangfujing Department Store, and her tongue is not ordinary. She curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Du Weiguo:
"Tch, adjust it! Then I will come over and sleep with Sister Caiyu every night. Let's see who is afraid of whom?"
Hahaha!
Du Weiguo was immediately amused by her and laughed heartily. It felt so good to go home!
The group of people walked back to the backyard talking and laughing. Bart's wife went back to the house first because her child was still young and she couldn't stay away for too long.
Du Weiguo returned to the kennel where he had been away for a long time. Except for a little dust accumulation, the rest of the room was still impossibly clean.
Delightful for the eyes!
Originally, Du Weiguo planned to take Yang Caiyu to see his mother-in-law after putting down his things. However, Li Xiaomeng happened to be there, so he cleaned the house first.
The house was originally not too big, and apart from dust, there were no other problems. The three people worked very quickly. In less than an hour, the whole house had a completely new look.
The doors and windows were open for ventilation. Du Weiguo made a cup of tea, lit a filter cigarette, bathed in the afternoon sunshine, and sat comfortably on a chair in the living room.
Yang Caiyu was dragged by Li Xiaomeng to admire her new house. She was on vacation today and was originally here to clean up the house.
Her and Wang Yang's new house is the same house where Sha Zhu used to live, diagonally across the door from Qin Huairu's house.
Now this house has been packed up a long time ago, and it is already a move-in type. Li Xiaomeng was like an ant moving recently, bringing in all the bits and pieces.
In fact, Li Xiaomeng and Wang Yang have already registered and received their certificates on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
The two of them have already cooked rice for a long time, but they haven't held any wedding ceremony yet, and they haven't moved in together yet. Naturally, they are waiting for Lord Du Yama's return!
He is Wang Yang's boss, and he is also the introducer. Since the boss hasn't come back yet, how can the younger brother get married easily?
Sitting at the square table in his living room, looking at the neat and elegant environment with uniform colors, Du Weiguo took a sip of tea and breathed out a sigh of relief. Damn it, it's really not as good as his own home!
Although Li Xiaomeng looks careless, she is actually smart and sensible, and she knows it very well.
Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu had just returned. There must be a lot of people and things to deal with in Sijiu City, so they just chatted for a few words, showed Yang Caiyu the new house and let her go.
Du Weiguo had just finished smoking one cigarette when Yang Caiyu ran back briskly, came to the table, picked up Du Weiguo's tea cup and took a sip.
After that, she rarely took the initiative to sit on Du Weiguo's lap, put her arms around his neck, and said with great emotion:
"It's better to have your own home! It's neat and elegant, comfortable and comfortable! The most important thing is that I have you, Wei Guo, thank you!
I know that Bart’s wife and Li Xiaomeng are the friends you have chosen to find for me. You are afraid that I will feel uncomfortable living in the courtyard and that I will be too cramped."
Du Weiguo curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, patted her back gently, and joked with a smile:
"I said okay! Wife, we are an old married couple, why are you so polite! Comrade Caiyu, let's wash our faces quickly, change our clothes and go see the mother-in-law!"
Forty minutes later, the jeep stopped at the entrance of Renji Hospital. Yang Caiyu and Sun Yumei did not stage a scene of mother and daughter hugging each other and crying.
Sun Yumei is a well-established, well-educated intellectual. At most, her eyes are red, she sheds tears, and she clenches her hands while having an intimate conversation.
Du Weiguo didn't bother them too much to tell each other about their parting feelings. By the way, he said something personal and so on. He made a phone call to Jiang Dongfang in the hospital.
Jiang Dongfang's voice sounded a bit low and tired: "Hello, I'm Jiang Dongfang!"
"Uncle Jiang, I am Du Weiguo. I have returned to Sijiu City, and I have brought back the jade. In the evening, you can pick up Aunt Li. Let's go to the Red Star Hotel for a meal together?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Dongfang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he asked in a slightly anxious voice:
"Xiao Du, are you back? When did you come back?"
When Du Weiguo heard that his tone was not quite right, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. I wonder, something happened again!
"Uncle Jiang, I just came back this afternoon and I'm at my mother-in-law's place now. Are you okay? Why does your voice sound wrong? Is Uncle Hao okay too?"
Jiang Dongfang said anxiously: "Xiao Du, Lao Hao and I are fine. There was a big case in our factory recently. If you have nothing to do now, come back and help!"
When Du Weiguo heard Jiang Dongfang say that both he and Lao Hao were fine, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. As for the big bullshit case.
He was a little uninterested. Damn it, what big case could there be in the steel rolling mill? Even if it was true, Du Weiguo didn't want to participate for the time being. He thought about it and then said in a deep voice:
"Uncle Jiang, I'm so sorry! I can't participate in the new case yet. My affairs are not over yet."
Jiang Dongfang sighed obviously, but he also knew the importance and said with some disappointment:
"Okay, I understand. I will definitely have to work overtime today. Let's see if I can go back early in two days."
After hanging up Jiang Dongfang's call, Du Weiguo immediately called Hao Shanhe.
Old Hao's voice sounded much calmer:
"Hey, rolling mill security department three, I'm Hao Shanhe."
"Old Haotou, I am Du Weiguo."
As soon as he heard the voice of Comrade Old Haotou, Du Weiguo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his tone of voice became rough, feeling extremely friendly.
As soon as Hao Shanhe heard what he said, he couldn't stop laughing, and immediately laughed heartily:
"Hahaha! It's you, you hozen! Are you finally willing to come back?"
This is the tacit understanding between him and Hao Shanhe. There is no need to ask at all. Just by hearing the tone, you will naturally know that he is back.
"Hey! Uncle Hao, I just came back, and I brought back jade. By the way, Uncle Hao, what happened to our factory recently? I just called Uncle Jiang, and his voice was quite solemn.
!”
As soon as this topic came up, Hao Shanhe sneered on the other end of the phone:
"Ha! It was suspected that someone in the East District No. 1 cafeteria deliberately voted D the day before yesterday, and the scale was quite large. Today, the factory has stopped production.
The day before yesterday, several workshop workers failed to hold on, and Director Jiang is very worried now."
Du Weiguo couldn't help but frown at this time. After experiencing the giant monster action, his sensitivity is very high now.
The east area of the steel rolling mill is the steel rolling workshop, which is equivalent to the artery of the steel rolling mill. Once something happens in the east area, the workshop in the processing area will definitely be shut down. He instinctively felt that this case was not simple.
After Du Weiguo thought for a moment, he asked in a deep voice:
"Uncle Hao, do you think there are any external factors involved in this case?"
When Comrade Lao Hao heard Du Weiguo's question, he slapped his lips first, and then said in a mocking tone:
"Hey, I think there is, but people don't listen to us, and we are so humble! Hou Jianjun and Jiang Dongfang are taking the lead now, and they are doing everything in full swing."
Du Weiguo's brows were already twisted into a knot at this time, and his two sharp sword eyebrows pointed diagonally at the sky.
As soon as he heard Comrade Hao judge that external factors were involved, Du Weiguo instinctively felt extremely disgusted.
He had just crawled out of the abyss and mire, and it seemed as if a layer of skin had been peeled off all over his body.
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing anymore. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. Du Weiguo was silent for a while before saying in a deep voice:
"Uncle Hao, I don't want to go back to the troubled waters anymore. I won't go back to the factory for the time being. I'll meet you at home tonight and we can have a drink together."
Silence~
After a while, Old Hao's incomprehensible sigh came from the microphone, and I didn't know why Comrade Old Hao was sighing.
Is he lamenting his wasted ten years of prime time? Or is it Du Weiguo's indifferent attitude?
"Okay, you kid, remember to bring your own food! By the way, don't forget to bring something sweet, I have a little aunt at home!"
Oh, yes, the little girl Guo Fu is still fostered in old Haotou's house. Du Weiguo has already forgotten about her.
"Okay, I understand, Uncle Hao, see you tonight."
After putting down the phone, Du Weiguo walked outside the hospital corridor, lit a cigarette, and stood there in a daze.
If there were external factors involved in this case, Hou Jianjun and Jiang Dongfang would never be able to solve the case even if they were exhausted.
It's not that Du Weiguo looked down on them, but it was a matter of high thinking. After experiencing the incident between the giant monster and Moran, Du Weiguo learned a very profound lesson.
These people engaged in intelligence work, with their intricate layout and precise steps, were simply not something Jiang Dongfang and the others could deal with. One was on the first floor and the other was on the fifth floor.
Everyone is not of the same dimension at all! If anyone can deal with it, what’s the point of Hu Fei’s special department?
Yang Caiyu came over from the office at this time and pushed him gently. Seeing Du Weiguo's solemn expression, she couldn't help but worry:
"Wei Guo, what happened? You look very bad, you can't hide it from me!"
Du Weiguo reached out and touched her cheek gently, shook his head and said with a smile:
"Caiyu, I just called Uncle Jiang. I originally wanted to invite him to have dinner with me, but then he wanted me to go back to the factory to help, saying that there was a big case in the factory."
When Yang Caiyu heard this, she immediately became nervous. She took Du Weiguo's arm and asked with a frown:
"What kind of big case is this? You just came back today, why are you being asked to go back? Isn't this steel rolling mill going to move on without you?"
It's no wonder that Yang Caiyu felt resentful about this. Du Weiguo put his arms around her waist and patted her back gently:
"Caiyu, don't worry. I don't know what the case is, and I didn't ask. I just made up a reason to refuse. No matter what the case is, I don't want to participate."
Yang Caiyu looked at him doubtfully:
"real?"
Du Weiguo nodded lightly: "Of course it's true. I made an appointment with Uncle Hao to go to his house to drink and pick jade in the evening. Are you going home to live with your mother-in-law tonight? Or are you just going to see Uncle Hao with me?"
"Well, I'd better go home and be with my mother!"
Yang Caiyu pondered for a moment before hesitatingly giving the answer. Although she didn't want to be separated from Du Weiguo, after all, she hadn't seen her mother in half a year.
Du Weiguo nodded, raised his hand and glanced at the time: "Okay, it happens to be almost time to get off work, so I'll go out and buy some food.
One portion for you and your mother-in-law, and one portion for you to take to Old Hao Tou’s house. Then I will send you home and pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Wei Guo~~"
At this time, Yang Caiyu gently pulled Du Weiguo, who was about to go out, but hesitated to speak. Her beautiful big eyes stared at him affectionately, as if she was reluctant to leave, fearing that he would disappear if he turned around.
Du Weiguo laughed and hugged her waist again, and scraped her delicate nose lovingly:
"Let's go! You should go to the restaurant with me to buy groceries. I really didn't lie to you. Just leave it alone. Comrade Yang Caiyu, where is the most basic trust between people?"
At 6:40 in the evening, Du Weiguo stepped out of the jeep, still carrying several lunch boxes in his hand, and knocked on the door of Hao Shanhe's house with his free hand.
There was a burst of cheerful footsteps in the courtyard, and then the courtyard door suddenly opened, revealing Guo Fu's beautiful little face.
She seemed to have planned to pounce directly again, but she held it back and said in a surprised tone:
"Chief Du, you are really back! Uncle Hao said you were back today, but I still don't believe it!"
hiss!
Du Weiguo looked at Guo Fu in front of him and realized that in less than 2 months, this little girl has become beautiful again. Not only has she grown taller, but her figure has also developed better.
Probably the knot in Guo Fu's heart has been untied, and she is living a carefree and carefree life in Lao Haotou. She looks sunnier, cheerful, and more beautiful.
She was naturally charming, but now she is simply swaying and charming, good guy! This child will be even better when she grows up!
Fortunately, Du Weiguo is now used to seeing big scenes, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and calmed down his mind.
He gently touched the top of Guo Fu's head with his hand: "Yes! I just came back today. Guo Fu, how are you doing recently?"
Du Weiguo turned around and closed the courtyard door while talking with a smile. Guo Fu took the lunch box from his hand and said with a bright smile:
"Chief Du, I really want to thank you. The recent period has been the happiest time in my life."
Old Hao Tou was standing at the door of the north room at this time, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at Du Weiguo with squinted eyes. Hey, this little old man seems to be in good spirits and complexion now.
Hao Xiaohei, a lazy cat, also came out of the house at this time, sat at the feet of old Hao Tou, and barked at Du Weiguo very arrogantly, barely saying hello.
"Uncle Hao, you look good! It seems that you got a good rest this winter last year!"
Du Weiguo greeted him with a playful smile, and Hao Shanhe's eyes were also full of smiles. He said angrily to Du Weiguo.
"Hey! Isn't it because you, the hozen, are out of town this winter? I'll naturally have more leisure time when you're not here, so I'll take it easy!"
Du Weiguo burst out laughing after hearing this. At this time, he strode up to Old Hao Tou, opened his strong arms and hugged him hard, his eyes turning red unconsciously.
"Uncle Hao, I miss you!"
Hao Shanhe frowned slightly at this time, as if he noticed some strange emotion, he patted Du Weiguo on the back:
"Okay, my old bones can't withstand your bear hug from King Du Yan!"
Du Weiguo wiped his eyes quickly, let go of Lao Hao, and at the same time bent down to pick up Hao Xiaohei who was on the ground.
"Hey, let me go, this Hao Xiaohei is so awesome, you are almost turning him into a piglet!"
He rubbed the fat black cat on his hand vigorously. Hao Xiaohei had a look of disgust on his face, and Hao Shanhe also cursed angrily:
"You little bastard, why don't you slap it gently? Why is Hao Xiaohei so fat? Did he eat your steamed buns?"
Hahaha!
Du Weiguo smiled and let go of Hao Xiaohei, and said in a teasing tone:
"Old Hao Tou, do you really raise this fat cat as your son? Then wouldn't Guo Fu become a child bride?"
Guo Fu, who was clearing the table and placing the dishes and chopsticks, stopped immediately when she heard his ridicule, and immediately retorted:
"Huh! Chief Du, I wouldn't be proud of this fat cat if I didn't lead you to abuse people like this! He only knows how to eat and sleep every day, and he can't even catch a mouse!"
By the way, my Uncle Hao said that Hao Xiaohei is his biological son, and you are the godson, hahaha!"
Guo Fu was an extremely smart child, so she naturally knew that Du Weiguo was joking, so she was not angry, but instead laughed and joked.
It seems that she is supposed to have a cheerful and lively personality. Recently, under the careful guidance of Lao Hao, the knot in her heart must have opened up a lot.
Back to the sunshine and happiness of the past!
In just a moment, Guo Fu had arranged the food and drinks. Du Weiguo specially bought two beets for her today.
A dish of snowy bean paste and a dish of shredded sweet potato are the rarest desserts of this era.
When ordering food at the restaurant, Yang Caiyu felt quite curious, and Du Weiguo didn't want to explain Guo Fu's affairs to her in detail for the time being.
It is said that it was Old Hao who emphasized that he wanted to eat something sweet. For this reason, Du Weiguo even insulted Old Hao, saying that he might have gone through menopause recently and his taste was strange.
I didn't drink a lot tonight because Du Weiguo was driving, and Old Haotou obviously didn't intend to drink heavily, so he could only drink lightly.
Not even the slightest hint of drunkenness!
After dinner, Guo Fu quickly cleared the table, and then carried Hao Xiaohei back to the house in a very sensible manner. She could already tell that the two of them must have something to say.
Du Weiguo looked at Guo Fu's retreating figure and said with emotion: "Uncle Hao, thanks to you taking care of me, Guo Fu has finally recovered!"
Old Hao smacked his lips and slowly shook his head:
"She is a child who has experienced these bad things at a young age. In fact, she is very worried, and a lot of her happiness is performed.
She actually only believes in you now, because you believe in me, so she reluctantly believes in me!"
Du Weiguo frowned, not wanting to continue this topic. He lit a cigarette for Lao Hao, and then took one in his mouth. The two of them smoked silently without saying anything.
The room fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Hao Shanhe frowned and glanced at Du Weiguo, who was silently lowering his head and smoking:
"Tell me about you, what happened?"
Du Weiguo raised his head and took a long breath of smoke. At this time, his eyes were already red and his voice became hoarse:
"Uncle Hao, Zhao Yingnan was kidnapped!"
Having said this, Du Weiguo couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears burst into his eyes. He had been holding back it for a long time.
The man did not shed tears easily, but he was not sad yet! He felt so guilty and unspeakable debt to Zhao Yingnan!
And in this world, only when facing Hao Shanhe could he tell all the secrets in his heart without pretending to be strong.
Hao Shanhe did not speak immediately, nor did he panic. Instead, he waited for a while, and when Du Weiguo had completely controlled his emotions, he said in a calm voice:
"Tell me more specifically, what exactly is going on?"
"We went to Baoshan City in Yunnan Province to lure snakes out of their caves~~"
Du Weiguo told Hao Shanhe what happened about Mo Lan in detail. Now that the giant monster operation has come to an end and the giant monster has been arrested, there is no need to leak any secrets.
After hearing the whole story, Hao Shanhe remained silent for a long time. He didn't speak until his cigarette was extinguished.
Old Haotou shook his head gently, sighed, and said in a very serious tone:
"In fact, I don't blame you for this matter, it's just that you were too tight. I only blame Zhao Yingnan for his bad fate!
Du Weiguo, you must think carefully. This Moran is quite difficult to deal with. She must have left the original organization, and she will definitely contact you in the future.
