Chapter 43 Cold Water

After the clothes were baked, it was already afternoon. Zhang Yu changed his clothes and sneezed.

He didn't go to work in the morning, so my sister-in-law asked her eldest brother to go and ask for a day's leave for him.

He put on warm clothes and thought that although he had a cold, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there were more purchasing tasks. He was already a little overwhelmed, so he asked for another day off.

So he thought that since everything was fine, he would go to work in the afternoon. When he said at the dinner table that he was going to work, Zhang Guifang obviously disagreed. "It's so cold in the winter that I've just been drenched in water. I'm not sneezing all the time. Your brother is here."

You asked for leave, go back tomorrow."

"I'm fine, sister-in-law." After swallowing the steamed bun in his mouth, Zhang Yu continued: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the logistics department is busy. I can help as much as I can. Besides, there's nothing wrong with me.

.”

"If Xiaoyu wants to go, let him go," Zhao Wenzhuo advised. His wife did pay too much attention to Xiaoyu in some aspects, but he had no choice but to try his best to persuade her.

"Then wear thicker clothes and be careful on the road." Zhang Guifang was still a little worried. As a staff member of the subdistrict office, she knew very well how sensitive the ladies in the courtyard were to various clues.

According to the usual situation, there are so many aunts, and the aunt will definitely be able to figure out who poured the water in the whole morning.

But today is different. It's been a whole morning, and all the aunts and ladies in the courtyard have been dispatched, but they still haven't found a single clue.

It would be okay if it wasn't intentional, it was just because people were scared and hid.

If it was intentional, then there must be someone watching Xiaoyu, stumbling upon him from time to time, and doing evil tricks.

"Xiaoyu, you go to work with your brother in the afternoon." Zhao Wenzhuo, who understood what his wife was thinking, was a little worried for a while.

And he knew more than his wife. Take the last time Xiaoyu was injured as an example. He always felt that he pushed her accidentally and the injured position shouldn't be there. Even if it was a coincidence, it shouldn't be that serious.

That's right.

What's more important is that there was a sharp stone where Zhang Yu was injured. He asked many people in the courtyard and they all said that there couldn't be any sharp stone there.

Because children run and jump there all year round, and sometimes they fall down if they are not careful. It doesn't matter if they fall and bump, as long as they bump into something.

So for the sake of safety, the adults in the courtyard would pick up the raised stones and bricks and throw them in the corners every time they passed by. Even the uneven ground would be leveled with shovels.

There happened to be a sharp stone where Zhang Yu fell, and the sharp part of the stone was still facing up. Zhang Yu just hit his head on the sharp stone as soon as he fell. Needless to say, the probability of this is very small.

So the only thing he could think of was that there must be something fishy here, and even if there was a hint of someone else's dirty hands, he might not let it go.

Then I asked someone to investigate, and I just found some clues two days ago. The injury was obviously caused by someone deliberately disturbing He Yuzhu and asking him to push Zhang Yu to the ground.

I wonder if the cold water thrown on Xiaoyu this winter has something to do with the one who did the dirty trick last time?

The person who did it was very thoughtful. When he went home at noon, he went to see the place.

The water on the ground had frozen at that time, and you could clearly see the direction in which it was splashed.

But that direction happens to be a visual blind spot. Not only can you not see there from the position where Zhang Yu was splashed with cold water, but you can't see anyone in the other two directions either.

Only one position behind him could be seen, and he saw obvious signs of climbing on the wall. Apparently after splashing the basin of water, he did not return from the original route, but climbed over the wall and waited until Zhang Yu

After I went back, I turned it over again.

This can also explain why Zhang Yu immediately ran in that direction after being poured cold water on him, but found no one.

Only people from the neighborhood are so familiar with the surrounding environment and know the going out patterns of the households at the entrance of the courtyard.

But no matter how well he hides, he will always be found. It is during this period that Xiaoyu needs to pay more attention when traveling.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it? I wish I could pay more attention." Zhang Yu didn't know these things and felt that the two of them were making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Be obedient, or you won't go to work today." Zhao Wenzhuo said with rare seriousness.

And with years of tacit understanding, Zhang Guifang realized from her husband's tone that things were more complicated than she thought.

At this moment, Qi Gang stood on tiptoe at the window and looked in. After seeing Zhang Yu, he excitedly stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Uncle Xiaoyu, Uncle Xiaoyu."

"Xiao Gang, come in quickly, come in quickly, have you eaten yet?" Zhang Yu welcomed Qi Gang in.

"I haven't eaten yet. Hehe, my mother went to my grandma's house today and forgot to leave me the key. My father didn't come back at noon today."

"Then you eat something at my place." Zhang Yu said and got off the kang to find a clean bowl.

Since the weather has gotten colder, the place where they eat has been moved from the living room to the kang.

"Uncle Xiao Yu, don't bother me. I'll just use the one you used." After saying that, he pulled Zhang Yu to prevent him from going down.

Zhang Yu could only use his own bowl to serve him a bowl of pumpkin porridge, and then said: "Eat quickly, I will serve it to you after you finish, there is still more in the pot."

"I got it, Uncle Xiaoyu." Qi Gang didn't want to be polite to him. He ate three big bowls of vegetables while grunting. His father and Zhao Wenzhuo were close friends, and the relationship between the two families had always been very good. At this point,

There's no need to be polite about small things.

After eating, he put down the bowl and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"Are you full? If you're not full, let your Uncle Xiao Yu serve it to you. That's not allowed in your Grandpa Zhao's house. It's a lie." Zhao Wenzhuo watched him put down the bowl, fearing that he wasn't full.

"No, I'm full. I'm full." Qi Gang patted his belly to indicate that he was full.

Then he suddenly thought of something, and Qi Gang mysteriously put his mouth into Zhang Yu's ear, "Uncle Xiao Yu, let me tell you, I discovered..."

Seeing the little children imitating the gossips of adults, and doing so in a decent manner, the whole family couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, I really made a discovery." Qi Gang became a little anxious when he saw everyone laughing, and then said loudly: "I really made a discovery, it's the question that Uncle Xiao Yu and Grandpa Zhao asked in the yard some time ago."

Hearing this, Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Yu suddenly became serious. They looked for the children in the yard and asked the same question, which was whether they saw what pushed He Yuzhu some time ago.
