The middle-aged woman's words were very effective. The ladies onlookers ran into the hotel one after another. Jiang Hao took advantage of the chaos and walked further away to a darker place.
Maybe it was professional instinct, he wanted to hear clearly.
The three women who were fighting together did not dare to continue fighting. They lowered their heads, held back their tears, and stood obediently.
"What's going on?"
Long-haired girl: "Sister Pan, Shanshan and Meimei are stealing my customers."
The short-haired woman called Qu: "Sister Pan, it was the guest who refused Xiaoxiao, so I went to greet him."
The long-haired woman said again: "Sister Pan, this is not the first time she has stolen my customers, she??"
"That's enough!" The middle-aged woman known as Sister Pan scolded her again, "Don't you know what the situation is now? If you want to go it alone, get away and don't cause trouble in front of my door."
The long-haired girl quickly took Sister Pan's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Pan, I won't do it alone. I know the situation is not good recently, so I won't make trouble with them."
The other two also said: "We won't do it alone, we won't do it alone, we will follow Sister Pan."
Sister Pan glared at them and lectured as an elder: "If you want to follow me, please be patient. We are here for refuge, not for vacation."
The short-haired woman asked: "Sister Pan, when can we go back to the capital? This place is really boring to me. I have to bargain with someone for 300 to play a full set. I remember when I was in Mingdu
When serving a glass of wine, the tip is always 3,000, okay?"
The long-haired girl now stood together with the short-haired girl and said: "Yes, Sister Pan, the gap is really too big. There is a gap in the hearts of the sisters. If we continue like this, we will starve to death sooner or later.
.”
Sister Pan said: "If you buy less fur, you will starve to death!?? I know everyone is having a hard time. Haven't you watched the news? If we don't run out early to seek refuge, we will be the ones in trouble. There are so many families in the capital.
The nightclubs have all been sealed, so it’s better to be here than in the police. You guys can be patient a little longer, and when the news passes, Mr. Jin will notify me, and we will go back then."
Sister Pan tamed them after saying a few words. Jiang Hao stood too far away and couldn't hear some of the words clearly. Who did she think would inform them? Could it be that an old bustard was the source of the police's anti-pornography operation?
Based on many years of undercover investigation experience, Jiang Hao felt that this matter was not simple.
The alley became quiet again. He looked at the time and saw that it was already one o'clock in the morning the next day. Jiang Hao didn't want to wander anymore, so he returned to the community and sat directly at the door of Qiao Xinwei's residence to fall asleep.
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly. Compared with the sky in the capital, the sky in Linzhou was much brighter. Qiao Xinwei opened the window and took a deep breath. The fresh air was mixed with the scent of osmanthus.
When she looked back at her son on the bed, he was already sticking his butt out in protest because he wanted to get up, and she wanted to laugh.
"Xi Bao, don't stay in bed, get up quickly."
Zai Xi closed his eyes and pretended to cry, "Ooooooo, mom, I want to sleep."
"Mom, let's go. Niuniu hasn't seen you for several days. She must be playing with Pengpeng."
Zai Xi stopped moving, still sticking his butt out, as if making a big decision, "Okay, I'll get up, I miss Niuniu."
Qiao Xinwei smiled and shook her head, hey, this is the charm of the opposite sex.
While preparing breakfast, she suddenly heard a noise at the door, which seemed to be Aunt Qin's voice, so she wiped her hands and went out to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I was shocked, "You're here so early?"
Jiang Hao stood at the door. His hair was a little messy, and the stubble on his chin was also sprouting. He was older, and he was really no better than when he was in his early twenties. He didn't have a good night's sleep. He looked a lot older like that.
"Sneeze!" He sneezed and looked like he had caught a cold.
Qiao Xinwei looked at him and asked, "Or did you sleep at the door before leaving last night?"
Aunt Qin said: "I saw him sleeping here as soon as I opened the door. Xinwei, no matter what, you can't let him sleep at the door. It's so cold at night."
"??" Qiao Xinwei looked at him in disbelief, "Did you really sleep at the door all night? Didn't I tell you to find a hotel?!"
Jiang Hao felt a little aggrieved, pinching his nose and pretending to be pitiful, "I went out to look for him, but it was too late. The hotels were closed. I walked around the street and came back."
Qiao Xinwei was so angry that he was speechless. His good mood early in the morning was completely ruined.
Aunt Qin patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Go inside quickly and drink a cup of hot ginger tea, otherwise you'll catch a cold. I have to go out to buy groceries. Come on, borrow it."
"Hey, okay, aunt, please walk slowly." Jiang Hao seemed to have really caught a cold. He sniffed and his nose was blocked.
At this moment, silence was better than sound. Qiao Xinwei was so fed up with him that she glared at him and turned around and went into the house.
Seeing that she didn't close the door, Jiang Hao smiled secretly and quickly entered the house behind her.
Seeing Jiang Hao, Zai Xi was surprised and said, "Hey, uncle is here so early?"
Qiao Xinwei brought out the egg custard and said, "Xi Bao, eat quickly."
Jiang Hao slowly walked over and took a look, "Well, egg custard, milk, porridge, pickles, pie, wow, such a rich breakfast." He picked up a piece of pie and asked, "I bought it yesterday? What did I do?
I didn’t see it.”
Xi Bao said: "Mom made the pie."
Jiang Hao was surprised for a while. A person who can only fry vegetables can still make pies? He was dubious, "Did you really do it? How did you do it?"
Qiao Xinwei picked up the bowl and gulped down the porridge with the pickles. She urged, "Xi Bao, eat quickly. Mom is late and I have to blame you."
There were not many pies, just two, not big, slightly smaller than the palm of your hand, moderately thick, golden in surface, and very good-looking. As soon as Jiang Hao stretched out his hand to try one, Qiao Xin's only chopsticks smacked his hand.
Then give one folder to Zai Xi and one folder to myself.
There were many kinds of breakfast, but the portion was small. When the mother and son ate, they only had pickles and nothing left.
"Please close the door before you leave." After saying this, Qiao Xinwei pulled Zai Xi away.
"Hey, won't you make ginger tea for me? I have a cold, I..." The door closed and they left very quickly, leaving Jiang Hao alone in the room in a daze.
Qiao Xinwei was not like this in the past. She was not good at cooking, and she knew nothing about pasta. In the past, she would rather watch TV than help him with bread and dumplings. In her words, I
I won't cause any more trouble for you.
But now, at this little time in the morning, she could prepare a nutritious breakfast for her children in an orderly manner and not be late for work. He was deeply touched.
It turns out that she can live well without him.
——
There is a nursery near the library, and Qiao Xinwei will put her children here when she is at work. But this nursery does not have a license, because many places are not qualified. There are only two aunts for more than 20 children, and they are just
Just helping to look after the kids.
The parents of these children are basically migrant workers. Since there is no one to take care of them at home, they have no choice but to send their children here.
Linzhou is a small place, and supervision is not that strict, and this can solve the problem of many couples having no one to take care of their children. There is a need for this, so this nursery was established.
When Xi turned one year old, Qiao Xinwei fostered the child here. Unexpectedly, when he went to pick up the child at noon, he found that the child's feces and urine were stuck to his back, and there was a stench.
Not to mention, the child's face was scratched all over, and the scars scratched by fingernails made her shed tears immediately.
The aunt said it was an older child who caught him. The children were too young and ignorant, and it was normal for them to get hurt while playing.
She couldn't blame her aunt, let alone the older children. She held the child in her arms and decided to stay at home to take care of him, and she had no choice but to continue to put off work in the library.
She will never forget that day. She cried and took Zai Xi home. Zai Xi's face was covered with scratches and his body was covered in smelly poop, and he kept giggling at her.
She hugged Zai Xi and said sorry to him. She couldn't bear to send her child to daycare at such a young age.
Fortunately, the leadership of the library is more considerate of her.
When Zai Xi was brought back later, he was two and a half years old. Two and a half year old Zai Xi was taller and stronger than his peers. He could speak well, dress himself, wipe his own butt, and eat by himself. He was in the nursery.
He is also the big brother, so no one bullies him, and he adapts quickly.
When she went to pick up the child, her aunt kept praising Zai Xi for being smart and sensible. Not only could she take care of herself, but she could also help her aunt take care of her little brother and sister.
After hearing this, Qiao Xinwei felt relieved but also sad. Who could know how much hard work and sweat she had to put in for her son to be so sensible and well-behaved?
As the child grew older and reached the age of going to kindergarten, it was not an option to keep him in the nursery. The aunt at the nursery liked Zai Xi very much, but this was not good for Zai Xi's growth.
I arrived at the office on time. Other colleagues were already there. Qiao Xinwei looked at the time and gave a false alarm. Fortunately, she was not late.
Colleague Hong Chunyan: "Hey, Xinwei is back. The capital is so fun. You've been there for so long, and you don't want to come back, right?"
Colleague Ma Lili: "Xinwei, did you bring us a gift? We don't have a holiday and can't go out, and we don't know what's out there."
Qiao Xinwei said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I came back in a hurry and didn't buy gifts for everyone." She saw the expressions on the faces of her colleagues, and quickly said, "Thank you for coming these days, I will definitely
It’s just a token of appreciation, let’s do it this way, I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight, can you guys show me a favor when you have time?”
Hong Chunyan: "If you have time, where should you go?"
Qiao Xinwei: "I heard that a new cafeteria opened in Linzhou Building, what do you think?"
Ma Lili: "But I have to cook for my family at night."
Qiao Xinwei: "Then it will be lively. Let's bring our families with us. I will also bring my Xibao."
Hong Chunyan smiled so hard that the corners of her mouth reached to her ears, "Okay, okay, okay." She immediately called home, "Hey, Mom, I want to inform everyone that there will be a buffet in Linzhou Building tonight?? Yes, yes, yes, there is.
Colleagues are treating you to a treat, and you can bring your family members, so you can invite everyone to come in the evening."
