Chapter 218 Soften the intestines and turn around, worry about the belly!
When he got off work, Zhou Jing left the office early, drove to the vegetable market, cut a pound of pork belly, bought two lively carp, and then went to Nanguan Primary School to pick up Xiaoqi from school. It’s really embarrassing to say that, I promised to go to Nanguan Primary School every day
Pick her up, but during that time, my thoughts were on the two beauties, and they never realized it. I could only remember it when I wanted to go home. It was my fault that I couldn't forgive this sister. Although she was a child picked up from the train,
But both Zhou Jing and Zhou Xueming and his wife like Xiao Qi very much and regard her as the closest person in the world. The same is true for Xiao Qi. It can be seen that she is very satisfied with her current life.
He drove to the school gate and just stopped when he heard a crisp bell ringing inside. Then, primary school students wearing red scarves came out in groups and left one after another with their parents, while he waited at the school gate for ten minutes.
After a few minutes, he neither saw his mother Yuan Xiuhua nor Xiao Qi, so he felt a little puzzled. He opened the car door, got out of the car, greeted the guard, and went inside the school to look for him. The old man guarding the gate was very talkative.
, took a cigarette, and let him go directly. The old man was sitting alone on a worn-out chair with one foot and shirtless, shaking his fan, smoking a cigarette, and his beard was raised from time to time, very leisurely.
Entering the campus, he heard a rapid whistle sound in the backyard. Zhou Jingxun looked out and saw that there was still a class of primary school students taking physical education classes. They said they were in class, but they were actually playing games. A group of boys were running around the field.
When playing football under the guidance of the teacher, the ball was not fully inflated and was somewhat deflated, so it could not be kicked very far. However, the children were very focused on playing and were not affected at all. Because there was no goal, the two ends of the open space were filled with
The goal was piled up with bricks and a crossbar was erected on it. Although it was a little crude, it still looked good. Some female students were watching the ball nearby, and a few others were playing shuttlecock, chattering and having a good time.
happy.
"Zhou Jing!" Zhou Jing suddenly discovered that Xiao Qi was standing in the corner more than ten meters away, playing with a few girls, so he waved to her and greeted her loudly. Many students nearby heard the shouting.
Turning around to look here, the physical education teacher also realized that it was already past the time for school to end, so he blew the long whistle. After a beep, all the students cheered and dispersed. Xiao Qi rushed out.
The crowd rushed over happily, wiping their dirty little faces, and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"
Seeing that her face was covered with stains and sweat, her flowered skirt was also dirty, and her naughty look was not at all graceful as a girl's. Zhou Jing couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He sighed and touched her little
Head-over-heels, he said softly: "Of course I'm here to take you home!"
"Oh, brother, wait a minute. The schoolbag is still up there!" Xiaoqi tilted her head and smiled, then twisted her butt and ran quickly towards the teaching building. After a few minutes, she ran back the same way.
, handed the schoolbag to Zhou Jing, took his arm and walked out the door. After walking for more than ten meters, he saw Yuan Xiuhua wandering at the door. He rushed towards him and said cheerfully: "Mom, brother is here to pick me up too.
!”
Yuan Xiuhua took out a handkerchief, wiped Xiao Qi's dirty little face, and pointed to a few stains on her skirt. There was a look of helplessness on her face, and she frowned and asked: "See, what's going on?
Jingjing, why did the skirt I just put on today get dirty again!"
Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue and said with a proud look on her face: "I was playing football just now. I was the goalkeeper. I accidentally fell it, but I still caught the ball. They were all shouting!"
Seeing her innocent smile, Yuan Xiuhua was a little speechless and couldn't bear to say anything, so as not to hurt the child's self-esteem, so he patted the little guy's butt and asked her to get in the car, but Xiaoqi refused to sit in the back.
He opened the front door with a playful smile, quickly got into the passenger seat, turned on the car stereo, played gentle and soothing music, and shook his head, looking very proud.
"This kid!" Yuan Xiuhua sighed, got in the car, and when he saw the fish and meat he bought, he sighed: "Xiao Jing, we have food at home, don't buy random things!"
Zhou Jing hummed, started the car, drove away from the school, turned around and said, "Mom, how are you doing? Your old problems haven't recurred recently, right?"
Yuan Xiuhua nodded and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the medicine I took last time was very effective. I haven't done it for a long time."
Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiao Qi about his study situation. Xiao Qi looked a little embarrassed, biting his fingertips and hesitantly said: "Okay, it's okay. I seem to be above average recently. Anyway, he's better than my deskmate."
It’s better, she asked me a lot of questions!”
Yuan Xiuhua snorted and complained in a low voice: "It would be nice to be in the upper-middle class. Recently, her grades have plummeted. The teacher called and said that she didn't like to listen in class and just liked to chat with her classmates. The weather is getting urgent. I'll beat her up."
After hitting her a few times, she shouted that she wanted to run away from home!"
After Zhou Jing heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Qi's little nose and chuckled: "Okay, little guy, you are getting better now. You know you have run away from home. Tell me, where do you want to go?"
Xiaoqi held her little face with both hands, stuck out her tongue, and made strange gestures. After a long time, she pouted her little mouth and said bitterly: "It hurt when Mom hit me that day. There was a loud bang, and my buttocks were swollen. I
Of course I got angry and wanted to go to your place, but I didn't run out and was scolded again. I was so sad that I hid under the quilt and cried for a long time!"
Zhou Jing glanced at her and said with a straight face and a serious expression: "If you don't get good grades, you will be beaten wherever you go. When you come to me, you will be served with sticks. Stop being playful in the future and focus more on your studies."
, do you understand?"
"I know!" Xiao Qi rolled her eyes and shouted in a long voice. She felt very shameless and turned her head towards the window of the car, with her mouth pouted and an unhappy look on her face. Yuan Xiuhua sat in the back row and looked at
She looked very happy and a little distressed, so she comforted her a few words. The little guy became happy and told Zhou Jing about interesting things in school, chattering non-stop, which was very cute.
Back home, as usual, Yuan Xiuhua cooked a sumptuous meal and served white wine. The four of them sat at the table and chatted while eating. Zhou Xueming asked: "Xiao Jing, it is said outside that Niu Li is going to be transferred to
I am now the deputy mayor of the city. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "You meet him every day, you will know if you ask him!"
Zhou Xueming sighed, shook his head and said, "He has a very strict mouth. He refuses to tell the truth every time he asks. Instead, he calls you to question him."
Zhou Jing picked up the fish and put it in Xiaoqi's bowl. He took out a paper towel and wiped her oily mouth. He muttered: "With his qualifications and education, it is very possible for him to be transferred to the city. But when?"
Whether it will happen or not, no one can say for sure, it depends on the leadership’s overall arrangements.”
Zhou Xueming groaned, took another sip of wine, and whispered: "Last time I heard Lao Niu mention that he gave Wang Yannian 80,000 yuan as a gift, but he took the money but didn't do anything. However, this time, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee
The secretary came here and seems to be very satisfied with the agricultural machinery factory, so he should be able to mention it!"
Yuan Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, and said in shock: "How can the current leaders be so courageous? They dare to collect money even if they don't do things for them, and they are not afraid of suing?"
Zhou Xueming put down his glass, smashed it in his mouth, nodded and said: "Indeed, this guy is not very good-looking, and he doesn't look famous from his appearance. I used to think that Mayor Wang was very easy-going and honest, and he was a practical person.
, I have a very good impression of him, but I didn’t expect that he would also make money.”
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "It's normal. Everyone else accepts money. If you don't accept money, you are an outlier. You are a thorn in others' eyes and a thorn in their flesh. You won't be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom. You will be tried in every possible way. What's more, if you don't
Who dares to use you if I find your shortcomings?"
After Zhou Xueming heard this, he nodded with a smile and sighed: "It makes sense, but there is no other way. This is the current trend. If you want to completely change it, it will take some time. Mayor Wang is probably doing this to taint himself, right? In the officialdom,
Sometimes I really can’t explain things!”
Yuan Xiuhua was a little worried. She put her chopsticks to her mouth and said anxiously: "Xiao Jing, you must not take the money. If you are found out, you will go to jail. We have two officials in our family who work hard."
We all have to do our duty, and we don’t seek to be rich and powerful, but only seek peace and tranquility.”
Zhou Jing nodded with a smile and said softly: "Don't worry, Mom, I have a sense of propriety!"
Yuan Xiuhua was still not at ease and continued: "Some of the officials now are bad. They will deliberately let others give you gifts. Over time, they will gradually fall into the trap. When you disobey, they will expose the matter.
It makes you lose your official position and go to jail!"
Zhou Xueming exclaimed, with an exaggerated expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I thought I knew how to teach, I know a lot!"
Yuan Xiuhua curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Don't look at people with that look. You are a big boss. You have been the deputy director for a few days and you have almost forgotten who you are. You are always trying to be a good person in front of me!"
Zhou Xueming was stunned, then put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "You see, this is the manifestation of menopausal syndrome in women!"
Xiao Qi blinked and said with a puzzled face: "Dad, what is menopausal syndrome?"
Yuan Xiuhua pursed her lips and smiled, gave her some food, and whispered: "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Eat quickly so you can do your homework early."
Xiaoqi hummed, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head and took a few bites, then whispered: "I seem to be suffering from menopausal syndrome these days, and nothing I eat tastes good!"
The three people next to him all laughed after hearing this. Zhou Jing sighed, held Xiao Qi in his arms, and fed her food. After looking at it for a long time, he put the little one down, watched her running into the living room, and suddenly sighed.
He took a breath and said thoughtfully: "There is a friend's child named Jingjing. He is younger than Xiaoqi. He is still in kindergarten, but he is smart and very lovable!"
Yuan Xiuhua sighed, shook his head and said, "It's been a long time since you've seen a child. No matter how you look at it, you like him. If he follows you around and causes trouble every day, you'll know he's bored!"
Zhou Jing smiled, ate the meal, sat on the sofa, and played two games of chess with his father Zhou Xueming. Thinking of the photos he found on Qin Xiaoqian's desk during the day, and the inscriptions behind the photos, he felt a sense of joy.
A feeling of worry.
After reluctantly sitting for a while, Zhou Jing felt as if grass had grown in his heart, so he got up and went downstairs, got into the car, and drove towards Qin Xiaoqian's house. Halfway through the car, a crisp ringtone rang on his cell phone. He looked at the number and saw
The call was from Vice Mayor Wei Heping. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone and said in a low voice: "Hello, Mayor Wei."
Wei Heping's slightly hoarse voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Not good, secretary, how about we go have a drink together?"
Zhou Jing raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then smiled, shook his head and said, "Let's wait for another day, Mayor Wei, I have other things to do today."
Wei Heping smiled and joked softly: "Why is it so urgent? You are rushing to Wu Yang's house, right?"
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, slowed down the car, parked on the side of the road, and said in a cold voice: "Old Wei, I don't know what you mean?"
Wei Heping waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing, don't be sensitive, I'm just in a bad mood. I want to have a drink with you. If I come, I will be a brother. If I don't come, I will still be a brother."
Zhou Jing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said softly: "Where can we meet? Mingcheng Nightclub?"
Wei Heping sighed, shook his head and said: "Isn't the investigation team investigating the famous city? We can't go there, so we should change it to Hongyan Tower!"
Zhou Dingding nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll be there soon!"
"Peony Hall!" Wei Heping warned in a low voice, hung up the phone, grabbed the wine glass and took a sip. He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. After a long while, he sighed softly and took out the wine from his waist.
The pistol was wiped gently, and a trace of melancholy appeared on his face.
