Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Director Qi was silent for a while, then asked tentatively:

"You don't want to go out?"

"That can't happen. What will happen to my whole family if I go out? Brother Qi, you know me well. I like to wander around. I've been to the deep mountains and old forests. Now I just want to see the sea. And you know my brain. I've been looking for a folk remedy to try..."

Director Qi frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me where exactly you want to go?"

"I heard Guangzhou is a nice place. Don't worry, I've thought about it. You remember the song I played before, right? This time I want to go there in the name of collecting folk songs."

"You are a section chief after all, can't you be more polite? What do you mean by tinkering with a song? Do you think you are growing vegetables in the village?"

"You mean there is a way?"

Director Qi pondered for a long time, then sighed and said:

“I can’t, I have to ask the teacher about this, but I think I’m not helping you this time, I’m hurting you.

What will you do if you're gone for a month? I need to think about this."

"Then I'll wait for your news. I want to come back in time for the New Year, so time is pretty tight. It just so happens that I'm familiar with the place now. I'll come to your house every now and then to ask about your news. You're always working overtime, and I'm worried about your big belly. Xiaoya and I can come over and chat with your sister-in-law."

Director Qi's eyes were red with anger, and he replied angrily:

"Don't even think about it. I'll take care of everything for your sister-in-law. There's no need for you two to chat with her. Don't lose your conscience, kid!"

"Brother Qi, I will wait for your good news. How could I be a heartless person? I even brought some good things just for you."

Director Qi looked at the pair of pigeons and seven or eight kilograms of mutton at his feet, turned around and stuffed them into the kitchen. When he came back, he said with a smile:

"I know you're not a conscienceless person. We need to make it clear that this thing has nothing to do with your stroll. Let's keep things separate, otherwise the teacher will find out and make fun of us."

After saying that, he took out a pile of bills and handed them to Zhang Xingwang, saying righteously that there was nothing he could do if it was not enough, as this was all he had.

Zhang Xingwang also felt that the good brother really treated him as his own, and that he was indeed open-minded, so he chuckled and replied:

"Brother, how can I let you, Brother Qi, be laughed at by the teacher? Your teacher is also my elder. The teacher should be quite old and needs to nourish his body. I have a bottle of good wine here. It's just bragging to say it's good. Let the teacher have a taste."

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Director Qi used 3000 kilograms of grain yesterday to wash away the frustration of the recent period, and made the two people who came back last time take back the titles of donkey and camel.

Director Wang seemed to have sensed something fishy. After all, he was an old comrade and was very good at catching wind and catching shadows. Although she didn't see anything, when she saw Director Qi rushing home from get off work every day, she could guess that it was related to Zhang Xingwang. Unfortunately, Xiao Song didn't find out anything useful after spending a lot of time to investigate.

The hospital has been relatively normal recently. Today is a rare day off, but Bai Xiaoya seems to be getting lazier and lazier. Not only is she more sleepy recently, but she also looks a little listless.

Wang Xiulan had no problem with her daughter-in-law's laziness. Seeing that she could eat and sleep well, she stared at her belly suspiciously for a long time. In the end, she did not ask. The main reason was that her daughter-in-law had left a deep impression on her when she faced the Jia family alone that day. Looking at her daughter-in-law who was gentle and well-behaved at home, Wang Xiulan felt that she must have overlooked something important.

It was already morning when Zhang Xingwang woke up. As soon as he went out, Liu Guangtian came over and said that according to the spirit of the enlarged meeting of the special operations group of the compound, there was a yellow alert status at noon today because Sha Zhu's prospective partner was coming. He hoped that Zhang Xingwang and his family would cooperate with the work of the top leader Liu Haizhong, which made Zhang Xingwang a little puzzled.

"Guangtian, I understand you want to cooperate with the work, but the question is how can we cooperate? You can't just stay at home and not go out, right?"

"That can't be done. Dad, you just need to watch the fun... Um... It's best not to say anything. But Brother Xingwang, you are the leader. My dad said that if you really can't help but say a few words, it's okay."

As soon as Liu Guangtian left, the short-legged wife quickly got herself ready and excitedly pulled Zhang Xingwang over to watch the fun. The fourth sister followed Bai Xiaoya like a commentator.

With a flattering look on his face, he told his sister-in-law the whole story of what happened last time, and also emphasized the grudge between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, which was more professional than the synopsis on TV.

Zhang Xingwang went out and saw that the neighbors were gathered in groups under the sun, as if waiting for a big show to begin. When they saw Zhang Xingwang, several aunts waved and said that they had reserved a good seat for him. When they saw Bai Xiaoya behind him, the aunts' smiles froze, and then they all forced a smile.

The brothers Sha Zhu and Xu Damao also kept quiet for a few days because of the fight. Sha Zhu didn't like Xu Damao's tactics, and his mind was on Ning Yue at the moment, so he planned to deal with him when he had time after some time.

As for Xu Damao, he started cooking as soon as he got home recently. Following the principle of pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies, he was busy trying to please his wife, but the effect was unknown. In the middle of winter, he opened his collar and let Zhang Xingwang see his chest when they met. It was obvious that there was a thick layer of calluses. In his spare time, he could be seen banging his head against the wall. This time the effect was obvious, and his forehead was covered with blue and red.

Today was the strangest day. It was almost noon when Cheng Pingping and Ning Yue came in. After saying hello, Sha Zhu ran to the kitchen to cook. His cooking skills were really amazing. Everyone was drooling at the smell. Yan Bugui even took his wife to eat steamed buns while smelling the aroma.

Zhang Xingwang's appetite was also aroused, and he was about to go home to take the opportunity to get some hard dishes, but he found that Xu Damao actually staggered into Sha Zhu's house carrying a bottle of wine. The two brothers exchanged a few sarcastic words when they met, and then Xu Damao never came out again.

The deaf old lady outside staggered and stopped walking. She felt everyone's eyes were on her. She glanced around and saw that the old lady's face was as red as a dye room. She glared at the door of Sha Zhu's house hatefully, and then her expression gradually calmed down. She leaned against the pool and closed her eyes to rest, looking like an old lady who had planned everything out and was confident in her thinking.

The central courtyard was quiet for a moment following the deaf old lady's actions, and then Sha Zhu poked his head out. The deaf old lady opened her eyes, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and a hint of pride appeared on her old face.

Before she could speak, Sha Zhu gave her an apologetic smile, then turned to Zhang Xingwang, whispered something, and then dragged Zhang Xingwang and his wife into the house...

The deaf old lady almost couldn't breathe. The smug look on her face disappeared instantly, and she put down her hand that was half raised towards her grandson. After gritting her teeth, the old lady sighed deeply, feeling that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, and staggered back.
