After talking about business and having lunch, Du Fei left the small courtyard and asked Wang Dacheng to take him back.
Du Fei didn't stay at the street office for long. He immediately said hello to Section Chief Qian, then rode out and went straight to Lao Yang's house.
Although Zhu Ting was a little curious, Wang Dacheng came to see Du Fei about something at noon. Du Fei rushed out as soon as he came back.
But Du Fei didn't take the initiative to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions.
This is also the experience she learned from her mother. If you should take care of men's affairs, you should learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Otherwise, if you tighten the grip too tightly, not only will you be tired, but the man will also feel annoyed.
Du Fei rode his bicycle and rushed to Lao Yang's house while summarizing what Chen Zhongyuan just said.
Although Chen Zhongyuan's words are conclusive, in fact they have no evidence to prove that Wang Wenming is connected with Liu Weiguo's current lover Zhang Fang.
The reason why they say this is just based on their experience and reasonable presumptions.
I came to a conclusion that can only be said in private, but cannot be brought to the table.
As for whether he can follow the clues and find Wang Wenming again, it all depends on Du Fei.
It is indeed not easy for others to do this.
The enemy is hiding now. If Chen Zhongyuan acts rashly, it will be easiest to alert the enemy.
If Wang Wenming was really frightened, it would be even more troublesome to leave the capital altogether.
Du Fei didn't need to worry. When the time came, he would just let Xiao Hei and Xiao Wu go over and keep an eye on them. Regardless of whether it was Zhang Fang or Wang Wenming, as long as there was a connection, no one could escape.
However, Du Fei thought that this matter should not be too easy.
He didn't want to die from exhaustion just because of the saying, "He who is capable works harder."
It's okay to get involved in this kind of thing occasionally and help out.
If his performance is too outstanding and people overestimate his ability in this area, he will be very busy in the future.
And over time, the existence of Xiaowu and others will be easily exposed.
Therefore, although Du Fei was very full of words and immediately mobilized manpower when he came back, he had no intention of a quick victory.
What's more, before leaving just now, Chen Zhongyuan also told him that there was no need to put too much pressure on him.
Letting him do this is actually a bit like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Both Chen Zhongyuan and Section Chief Qin knew what was going on.
What kind of enemy is Wang Wenming?
Over the years, not only them, but also the superior departments have been keeping an eye on this person, but they have never been caught.
Why should you expect Du Fei to expect immediate results?
Therefore, in terms of time, Du Fei has no pressure.
When he came to Lao Yang, Du Fei didn't mention Wang Wenming either.
On the surface, he told Lao Yang to keep an eye on Zhang Fang.
He also reminded me not to act in a hurry.
Lao Yang is quite familiar with this kind of work, just like when he stared at Liu Dagang and the Japanese woman before.
Secretly, Du Fei asked Xiao Hei to go over and stared at Zhang Fang as well.
Especially when she goes to Tianning Temple as a layperson, she must be extra careful.
After making these arrangements, Du Fei returned to the unit from Lao Yang. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Du Fei got off work in the evening, his original rhythm of life was not disrupted just because he met Chen Zhongyuan and others at noon.
He still went home with Zhu Ting as planned.
Mother Zhu said last time that she should let him go there often, but she was not just talking about it.
Now Zhu's mother has entered the state of 'mother-in-law looking after her son-in-law'. She told Zhu Ting all morning to take Du Fei back today and said she would cook something delicious for Du Fei.
With such a good thing, how could Du Fei refuse it?
Riding a bike with Zhu Ting, talking and laughing .
Because spring has begun, the days are getting longer and longer, and it’s still bright when I get off work.
The two of them were not in a hurry and walked slowly. It was almost six o'clock when they got home.
Zhu's mother got off work early and prepared meals with the waiters.
Knowing that Du Fei was coming today, I made a special stew of potatoes and beef.
After finishing the work in a hurry, Du Fei and Zhu Ting didn't come back for a long time, leaving Zhu's mother waiting anxiously.
It wasn't until the two of them came back that they rolled their eyes at Zhu Ting and complained angrily.
But when he turned around and saw Du Fei, he was smiling again. Little Du was tall, but little Du was short.
Zhu Ting looked at her and wondered who was her daughter.
But I still didn’t see Dad Zhu during dinner at night.
Zhu Ting didn't care either. The two of them had gotten used to it over the years.
When I got to this position, I was so busy with work that I had no time at all.
Only Du Fei asked.
Zhu's mother said, "Hey, don't worry about him. If he didn't call back in advance, he wouldn't come back to eat. I won't be able to eat many meals at home in this month."
Du Fei smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Listening to this, Zhu's mother humbly said, "What are the abilities and responsibilities?", but she was very happy in her heart. She took a large piece of beef and stuffed it into Du Fei's bowl. "Xiao Du, you eat more, you are not polite here."
Zhu Ting on the side rolled her eyes.
She didn't realize Du Fei was so good at flattering him.
The words were all spoken in plain language, without much rhetoric, but they still scratched her mother's itch.
After finishing their meal, the three of them went back to the living room to talk and turned on the TV to watch the news.
Today's TV programs are really limited. The TV set in Zhu Ting's house is more furnishing than practical, but it is unstoppable and the news must be watched every day.
Zhu Ma picked up the half-knitted sweater that was placed on the sofa.
Zhu Ting went to wash the apples.
Du Fei and Zhu Ma were left alone.
Du Fei is not embarrassed at all, he is quite a bit of a social nerd.
With a shy face, she sat down next to Zhu's mother, "Auntie, what kind of pattern are you knitting? It's so beautiful~"
Zhu's mother was also an expert at knitting sweaters in their unit. When Du Fei asked about this, she suddenly became fascinated again. She smiled and said, "You said this~ This is called bougainvillea. It can be made by changing the stitches forward and backward.
Different patterns…”
As he spoke, he unfolded the finished half of the knitting and showed it to Du Fei.
Du Fei stretched out his hand to touch it and praised, "Your hands are so skillful!"
Mother Zhu was afraid that her teeth would be exposed, so she covered her mouth and said with a smile, "No way, no way~ I just have nothing to do and just think about it."
Du Fei said, "That's even more impressive. I see that sweater on Xiaoting's body was knitted by you, too~ It's really nice!"
Zhu's mother smiled more and more, but she suddenly remembered Du Fei's life experience.
She lost her mother early, and the father and son depended on each other for life.
Men still have to go to work, so what can they do?
And now that his father is gone, he is really a miserable child.
In an instant, Ma Zhu's mother's surname came to mind. She put down the knitting needle in her hand, got up and took out her sewing box from the cupboard next to the TV.
He took out a soft ruler from inside and said to Du Fei, "Xiao Du, stand up. Auntie will measure it for you. I will knit a set for you later and wear it in autumn this year."
"Oh~ the relationship is better now!"
Du Fei was not polite and immediately stood up and stretched out his arms.
Zhu Ma was only 1.6 meters tall, which was not considered short in this era. But when she came to Du Fei with a soft ruler, she had to raise her head, measure the dimensions and write them down in a book, while saying, "Thank you for this." Head, her father and I are not very tall, but I didn’t expect Xiaoting to follow her uncle and grow up to be so tall.”
Du Fei continued, "Are all uncles big?"
Zhu’s mother smiled and said, “That’s right~ There are three brothers and two sisters in our family, and Xiaoting’s three uncles are all 1.8 meters tall.”
Du Fei said casually, "That's no wonder, my niece is following her uncle..."
Just at this moment, Zhu Ting came out with the washed apples and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you measuring him?"
Zhu's mother had just finished measuring the length of her trousers, and asked Du Fei to lift up his clothes to measure his waist. She replied, "I'll knit a sweater for little Du Fei so that he can wear it in the fall."
Zhu Ting felt a little guilty, pouted and said, "Mom~"
In fact, she was also planning to knit something for Du Fei, but her skill level was limited, so she wanted to get a scarf and gloves first, and then put on a sweater after practicing her skills.
Who would have known that her mother would just come up and stir things up...??.
I have seen Ma Zhu’s knitting, so I can still use it!
After Zhu Ting finished measuring, she stood up and could guess a thing or two when she saw Zhu Ting's appearance.
But he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he gloated and said, "Are you anxious now? I taught you this a long time ago. If you don't take it seriously, who is to blame?"
Zhu Ting snorted and angrily stuffed an apple into Du Fei's mouth.
Guoguang apples have a slightly thick skin, but are juicy, sweet and sour, and full of apple flavor.
Du Fei opened his big mouth, bit off a crescent moon in one bite, chewed it a few times, swallowed it and said, "Hey, Sister Ting, this apple is more delicious than the one we sell in the street."
Zhu Ting rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can it be the same? This is a special fruit from the Nanshan orchard in Jinzhou. Use two kinds of mesh sieves to sift it. Don't use the one that is too big because it will turn into chaff. If it is too small, it will turn out to be astringent. In the past few years, we all ate it in China. If not, all of it will be given to the North Bank for loans."
Du Fei took another big bite.
Zhu's mother smiled and said, "How many more do we have? You can fill half of Xiao Du's clothes later."
This apple is so delicious!
Du Fei was not polite and thanked his aunt.
Zhu Ting, on the other hand, was too embarrassed to drag Du Fei into her boudoir because her mother was present. She couldn't say some disgusting things even if she was in the way of her mother.
For a while, except for Du Fei, the two women were a little awkward.
Fortunately, Du Fei realized that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately asked to see Zhu Ting's childhood photo album, thus resolving the awkwardness.
But soon, Zhu Ting became even more embarrassed.
I took out an old photo album and turned to the first photo of her wearing crotchless pants.
Behind him was a three- or four-year-old man, with his bare buttocks like a clay monkey, standing in front of the cave dwelling with several other children.
Du Fei also noticed that in the background of this photo, there was a familiar figure sitting in a wicker chair with his legs crossed and reading a newspaper.
Du Fei licked his lips, secretly surprised.
And then, familiar figures appeared in the photos one after another.
Some are group photos, and some are backgrounds of inadvertently leaving the country.
Although Du Fei had known about Zhu Ting's family background before, it was only a relatively abstract concept.
It wasn't until this moment that he felt it intuitively.
I also saw Zhu Ting’s three brothers one after another in the photo album.
They are all well-groomed.
What surprised Du Fei even more was that the photo album also contained Zhu Min and Li Mingfei when they were young.
Needless to say, Li Mingfei looked really energetic more than ten years ago, even compared to Du Fei Between brothers.
But he cannot withstand the aging process of time, and his hairline has almost receded to the top of his head.
At this moment, there was a sound on the door outside.
But Father Zhu came back, and with him was Director Zhang's lover. The two of them were arguing about something as they walked away.
Until he saw Du Fei, Zhu's father was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Xiao Du is here~"
Zhu Ting and Zhu Ma stood up to greet Director Zhang's wife.
Zhu Ting calls her Uncle Xu, while Zhu’s mother calls her Lao Xu.
Du Fei followed behind and called out "Hello Uncle Zhu", and then called Minister Xu "Uncle Zhang~"
Zhu's mother was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, "Xiao Du, what's wrong with your uncle?"
Minister Xu explained with a smile, "Sister Han, our Lao Zhang and Xiao Du hit it off immediately. A while ago, we were planning to introduce a partner to Xiao Du! I didn't expect..." He looked at Zhu Ting, "I'll let you get in first!"
"
Zhu Ma smiled and looked at Du Fei again.
I thought this brat was really popular. Fortunately, Minister Xu didn’t have a daughter in his family.
At this time, Dad Zhu said, "I'm going to the study with Lao Xu to talk about something." After saying that, he looked at Du Fei, paused and said, "Xiao Du, come here and make us two cups of tea."
Du Fei didn't expect such treatment, so he quickly responded and followed.
Dad Zhu didn't say anything, but he showed his approval of this prospective son-in-law with practical actions.
Obviously it was so late that the two of them had to go to the study when they came back. It was definitely not a matter of chatting, but they had important work to do.
In this case, letting Du Fei in was not only a sign of trust in Du Fei, but also a kind of support and guidance.
Of course, it also contains some meaning of testing.
Du Fei knew it well and followed behind to cheer up.
The layout of Dad Zhu's study is very simple. In addition to a large desk and a sofa and coffee table next to it, it is roughly the same as an office.
And here Du Fei accidentally discovered something familiar.
On the coffee table, there was actually the chessboard and chess pieces he got from Chen Fangshi last time.
This chessboard is quite heavy. When I came back from Yanda, I didn't take it with me because I wanted to take Zhu Ting with me.
Zhu Ting mentioned it once later, saying that she had brought back the set of Go and wanted Du Fei to pick it up himself.
Later, when Du Fei was busy with other things, he forgot about it.
"Where are the tea leaves~" Dad Zhu pointed to the cabinet next to the window and found that Du Fei didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw the chessboard, as if the chessboard should be placed there as a matter of course.
Du Fei secretly praised Zhu's father's qi-nurturing skills, which were definitely the best among the old fried dough sticks.
He quickly said "Hey" and walked over to get some tea.
Anyway, he has no obsession with Go. Since my father-in-law likes it, just give it to him.
Anyway, as long as Zhu Ting is here, my father-in-law will not be able to bring back anything he messes with at home in the future.
But when he opened the cabinet, Du Fei was stunned for a moment.
There are more than a dozen tea jars densely packed inside, with labels on them, all of which are famous teas from various places.
Du Fei subconsciously wanted to ask what they wanted to drink.
But they found that Father Zhu and Minister Xu were already sitting on the sofa discussing, and it was difficult to interrupt.
Du Fei simply made the decision and took the jasmine flowers directly. He was not a secretary anyway, so he could drink it whether he liked it or not.
The thermos bottle on the desk is boiled water that was just boiled in the evening. Now I am making tea, and the temperature is just right.
Du Fei took two cups, washed the tea briefly, and poured one cup each.
Take it over, put it on the coffee table, and then stand by and listen to the music.
