Shi Qiushui had always hoped her father would become an outstanding ...
Chapter 023 The Peeping Pervert
In fact, Shi Qiu Shui and Yao Dazui are not very familiar with each other.
It's just that Yao Dazui knows too much gossip. From the fact that the factory director's wife is a tigress to the fact that the grandson of Mr. Wang, the boiler operator at the factory, is a bed-wetter; to the fact that there's an especially unruly old woman in a house on the other side of the city, to the fact that Gao Cuifen can't bear to throw away her pants even though they have eight holes in them...
It seemed as if there was nothing in the world that she didn't know.
Moreover, Yao Dazui has a good eloquence. No matter what the matter is, she can tell it vividly. After listening for a while, Shi Qiu Shui didn't want to leave.
Shi Qiu Shui blinked her eyes, and her round, distinct black and white pupils clearly showed that she still wanted to listen to Yao Dazui's gossip and didn't want to go home.
Shi Yue's eyes twitched. He had an inexplicable premonition that in the near future, Shi Qiu Shui would become a smaller version of Yao Dazui and become the new generation of gossip leader.
He used his imagination and imagined that Shi Qiu Shui followed Yao Dazui with a handful of melon seeds, going wherever there was excitement and wherever there was gossip.
hiss--
The scene was so beautiful that he dared not look at it!
Shi Yue rubbed his brows with a headache: "Xiao Qiu, Daddy suddenly doesn't want to go home and wants to go to the vegetable market. Don't you want to go too?"
He tried to tempt her, "The vegetable market, huh? That market we went to before where there were so many delicious things. Do you really not want to go?"
When talking about the vegetable market, Shi Qiu Shui swallowed excitedly.
But when she turned around and saw Yao Dazui, she hesitated again. Should she go to the vegetable market to buy delicious food, or stay in the yard and listen to Yao Dazui's gossip? This was really a difficult choice!
In the end, it was Yao Dazui who made the decision for Shi Qiushui. She said, "Xiaoqiu, go to the market with your dad! When you come back, come and chat with grandma!"
Shi Qiushui nodded with sparkling eyes: "Okay!"
She stood up and stood beside Shi Yue, saying in a sweet voice, "Grandma Yao, you have to wait for me. Dad and I will be back soon!"
Yao Dazui nodded in agreement with a smile, and Shi Qiushui then said to Shi Yue, "Dad, let's go."
Shi Yue: "...Okay."
Shi Yue took Shi Qiu Shui's hand as they walked towards the vegetable market while chatting. The topics of their conversation were either about Shi Qiu Shui going to kindergarten or Shi Yue's work.
Since the 1990s, the father and daughter have shared their daytime experiences with each other every night.
But today was a little special. When Shi Qiushui was talking about his kindergarten experience, he was obviously not interested. Shi Yue asked puzzledly: "Xiaoqiu, what's wrong with you today? Are you not having fun in kindergarten?"
Shi Qiushui pouted her round face and said, "I'm happy, but compared to your experience, Dad, my day is so boring!"
She pouted and said, "Grandma Yao told me about your experience of catching thieves in the factory. It was so interesting! But I actually missed it!"
Shi Yue:......
He said sincerely, "The experience of catching a thief is not fun at all, not at all!"
The experience of interrogating a thief was not fun at all!!!
Especially when he saw Hou San taking something out from behind, he felt his eyes burning just thinking about it!
Shi Qiu Shui had heard that Hou San was hiding spare parts in the valley, but that was the way it was. Even if one knew that the scene would be shocking, people who hadn't seen it with their own eyes couldn't help but be curious.
This is her mentality now, disgusted, but curious, very curious!
"Dad, I heard from Grandma Yao that you went to the toilet and saw the thief take the parts out from behind you with your own eyes?" Curious Shi Qiu Shui didn't know that his question just hit Shi Yue's sore spot.
Shi Yue desperately reached out and covered Shi Qiu Shui's mouth.
"Girl, can we please not talk about this anymore? Do you know how shocking that scene was? I felt like I had a work-related injury!"
With his mouth covered and unable to make a sound, Shi Qiu Shui could only nod.
Well, she had never thought her father would be so upset. It was just seeing that thief take off his pants and then...
Well, okay, she thought about it and realized that this scene was indeed a bit eye-catching...
Shi Qiuguo decisively changed the subject: "Dad, since you've caught the thief, do you no longer have to work the night shift?"
Shi Yue nodded: "Well, starting from tomorrow everything will be back to normal, no need to work the night shift anymore."
Shi Qiushui: "Dad, can we have a nice meal today to celebrate the fact that you don't have to work the night shift anymore?"
Although he didn't know what was worth celebrating about not having to work the night shift, Shi Yue still nodded generously: "Okay, whatever you want to eat, Dad will buy it for you today!"
"Great!" Shi Qiushui cheered, "I want to eat roast chicken!"
"Sure, it's just a roast chicken, buy it!" Shi Yue waved his hand and took out the money.
Shi Qiushui's little mouth spoke sweet words without hesitation: "Daddy, you are so good, you are the best dad in the world. I am really the luckiest little girl in the world to have a dad like you!"
Shi Yue nodded without any embarrassment: "That's true."
A passerby who heard this conversation said: ...Where did such a shameless father and daughter come from?
The father and daughter were busy grabbing the last roast chicken and had no time to pay attention to the expressions of passers-by. They rushed through the crowd in a hurry, leaving only the passers-by's contempt.
In the end, the father and daughter successfully grabbed the last roast chicken and went home happily. When they returned to the slum, Yao Dazui was no longer in the front yard. Shi Qiu Shui's mind and eyes were full of the fragrant roast chicken in his hands, and he didn't notice that Yao Dazui was gone.
Seeing that Shi Qiu Shui didn't make a fuss about going to find Yao Dazui anymore, Shi Yue felt relieved. It seemed that his daughter's relationship with Yao Dazui was not very good. Then he didn't have to worry that Shi Qiu Shui would follow Yao Dazui every day and gradually become the next gossip king.
But it was too early for Shi Yue to be relieved. He didn't know at this time that the "evil fate" between Shi Qiu Shui and Yao Dazui would not be broken so easily.
-
The security department worked very efficiently. On the day they caught Hou San, they sent the damn thief to the Public Security Bureau. When Shi Yue went to work the next day, Hou San was already in the Public Security Bureau's jail.
Shi Yue looked around the empty office, and as usual, he came to his desk, picked up the cup and put tea leaves in it, and prepared to go out to get hot water to make tea. When he walked to the office door and was about to push it, the door was opened from the outside.
"Chief Shi, good morning. Are you going to get some hot water?" The person who pushed the door open was Lao Wang, who also worked in the security department. He greeted Shi Yue with a smile.
Shi Yue raised his eyebrows. Hasn't this Old Wang always stood on Sun Guodong's side and ignored him? Why did he greet him today?
He smiled and said, "Well, go get some hot water."
After a simple greeting, Shi Yue took the cup and walked towards the hot water room. He looked for love as he walked. Could it be that Lao Wang changed his attitude towards him because he saw that he had done a good job in catching the thief yesterday?
When he came back from getting the water, almost everyone in the office had arrived. As soon as he entered the room, everyone shouted, "Hello, Brother Shi" and "Hello, Section Chief Shi."
Shi Yue agreed naturally, but he was still wondering in his heart, even if he had some merit in catching the thief, their attitude wouldn't change so quickly, right? Aren't they isolating him and ostracizing him? Then keep going! Keep ignoring him!
Everyone is so enthusiastic, how can he continue to slack off with pay?
Shi Yue was muttering to himself when Sun Guodong walked in with a gloomy face. He snorted coldly as he passed by Shi Yue.
Mm! This taste is still right!
Shi Yue finally felt comfortable, fortunately there was still Sun Guodong who maintained his attitude towards him.
Other people in the office were somewhat dissatisfied with Sun Guodong.
Although everyone had previously stood on Sun Guodong's side and disliked Shi Yue, the paratrooper, after spending some time together, everyone's views on Shi Yue had changed.
Shi Yue is a serious worker, responsible person, and easy to get along with. Although everyone has been isolating him during this period, he has not used his authority as deputy section chief to cause trouble for everyone. In addition, he played a big role in catching the thief. Everyone is not convinced, but they recognize Shi Yue as the deputy section chief.
Everyone's mentality changed, and when they saw Sun Guodong taking the initiative to cause trouble, they couldn't help but think that he was being unreasonable.
In fact, think about it, Sun Guodong was just being unreasonable. After all, Shi Yue was appointed as the deputy section chief by the superiors, not by Shi Yue competing with Sun Guodong. Even if Sun Guodong had any complaints, he should blame the superiors, and there was no reason to blame Shi Yue.
Besides, Shi Yue is indeed more suitable to be the deputy section chief than Sun Guodong. Isn't it obvious just by looking at the experience of catching the thief this time?
Before, everyone took care of Sun Guodong's feelings, so they stood on his side and excluded Shi Yue. But even if they took Sun Guodong's feelings into consideration, it was limited. Shi Yue was already the deputy chief of the security department, and this could not be changed. They could not always stand on Sun Guodong's side and oppose Shi Yue.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Sun Guodong with a hint of resentment in their eyes.
Feeling the reproachful looks from the crowd, Sun Guodong's face turned black and red with anger.
He glared at everyone in the office one by one with his big eyes. He didn't understand why all his teammates who were originally in the same trench with him suddenly stood on Shi Yue's side overnight.
Is it because Shi Yue led the group to catch the thief? Humph, he doesn't think Shi Yue deserves much credit for catching the thief this time. Shi Yue was just lucky to meet a neighbor who could provide clues!
He sat down with a gloomy face, angry at Shi Yue's good luck and also angry at the "betrayal" of other people in the office.
He thought indignantly that even if Shi Yue was lucky this time, he couldn't be lucky every time. Let's see what Shi Yue would do when there is another mission next time!
Humph, by then everyone will know that Sun Guodong is more capable and more suitable to be the deputy chief of the security department!
Shi Yue sipped his tea while admiring Sun Guodong's expression, which was sometimes angry and sometimes complacent.
Just think of it as watching a face-changing show.
"Is Shi Yue here?" A strange voice sounded at the door.
"Here." Shi Yue responded and quickly stood up.
"Oh, you are Shi Yue, right? Then come with me, the factory director is looking for you."
"Oh, here he comes." Shi Yue subconsciously followed the man's footsteps and began to wonder in his heart, what did the factory director want to see him for?
More importantly, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the factory director to look for him?
After walking through the long corridor, Shi Yue came to the factory director's office. He knocked on the door lightly and pushed it open after getting permission.
The door of the factory director's office faced the desk inside, so when Shi Yue pushed open the door, he saw Director Wu sitting at the desk working.
Director Wu is a dark-skinned, thin man. At first glance, he doesn't look like someone who works in an office, but more like a worker working at the grassroots level.
He looked up and saw that it was Shi Yue who pushed the door open. He immediately put down the documents in his hand, laughed and said, "Good boy, you've made a contribution just after arriving. Well done!"
He said in a familiar tone: "You are worthy of being a soldier led by Lao Luo. You have not brought shame to our army!"
Shi Yue was stunned. Lao Luo? His immediate superior in the army was named Luo. Could it be that...
He thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Director, do you also know Luo Tuan?"
Director Wu laughed heartily and said, "Of course I know him. Lao Luo and I are old comrades who enlisted in the same year. When we were in the barracks, we lived in upper and lower bunks. We were good brothers who even washed each other's stinky socks!"
Shi Yue revealed a surprised expression at the right moment: "Luo Tuan mentioned to me that he had a good brother who had changed his career. I didn't expect it was you?"
Director Wu: "Did Lao Luo mention me to you?"
He joked, "I thought he'd forgotten about me when he didn't need me anymore. I've been out of the army for six or seven years, and Lao Luo hasn't called me once. If it weren't for you being demobilized and assigned to our factory, I would have thought he didn't know my phone number if he had called me!"
Although he said so, anyone could hear the intimacy in Director Wu's tone.
Shi Yue knew that it was not appropriate for him to respond at this time, so he just smiled.
Director Wu smiled and said, "But now I understand why Lao Luo specifically called me and asked me to pay attention to you. You are not bad."
Shi Yue smiled modestly. "Director, you're too kind. Catching the thief this time wasn't just my achievement, but the hard work of all the security staff. And if we're talking about contributions, the biggest hero this time should be Comrade Lao Yao, who provided us with the clue."
Seeing that Shi Yue did not take all the credit for himself just to show off in front of him, Director Wu nodded and felt even more satisfied with Shi Yue.
In fact, he had already heard the details of the security department's catching the thief reported by his subordinates. Naturally, he also knew that the security department was able to catch the thief mainly relying on the clues reported by the masses. He deliberately exaggerated Shi Yue's contribution just to see Shi Yue's reaction.
Seeing Shi Yue being so frank and sincere, he really felt that Shi Yue was worthy of being a soldier trained by his old comrade.
He patted Shi Yue's shoulder and said sincerely, "You're not bad."
Shi Yue pretended not to notice the difference in Director Wu's tone and gave a simple smile.
Director Wu said, "I know your security department has been working very hard this time. This month, we'll give them an extra half month's salary as a bonus. And then there's that old lady, Comrade Yao, who provided the clue. We can't treat her unfairly for being so enthusiastic. We'll give her a hundred yuan as a reward, too."
He shouted outside, "Xiao Li, come here. You should have heard what I just said. So, go and take care of this matter later."
Secretary Li nodded: "Leader, I understand."
Hearing that he would be given half a month's salary as a bonus, Shi Yue was so happy that his heart blossomed. He said decisively: "Thank you, boss!"
Director Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I didn't come to you for anything else. If you don't have anything else to do, go back and work hard."
In fact, according to common sense, he would not need to interfere in matters such as the security department catching a petty thief. It was only when he was listening to his subordinates' reports that he heard the name Shi Yue and suddenly remembered the instructions of his old comrade, so he thought of calling someone over to check his character.
Shi Yue nodded sincerely: "Don't worry, Director. I will work hard and make persistent efforts to live up to the training of the army and the factory."
Director Wu smiled and said, "Okay."
As soon as Shi Yueyi came out of the factory director's office, he could no longer hold back his reserve. He raised the corners of his mouth, and his face was visibly happy.
Normally, the factory would just give employees a towel or hot water kettle as a reward at most. I didn’t expect them to be so generous this time, directly giving them half a month’s salary as a reward!
He returned to the security department humming a little tune. Zhao Hui in the office laughed and joked, "Oh, you're humming a tune? What's up? Did the factory director call you over to tell you something good?"
Shi Yue smiled and said, "Yeah! That's great! The factory director said that our security department has been working hard lately, and he wants to give each of us an extra half month's salary as a bonus!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the security department became excited. Wow, half a month's salary is not a small amount!
In fact, the salary of the security department of the machinery factory is not low in itself, but who would complain about having too much money?
Everyone laughed happily and started to think about how to spend the extra bonus.
Xiao Wang: "Hey, give me an extra half month's bonus, then I can treat my girlfriend to dinner at the western restaurant she wants to go to."
Xiao Li: "Hey, then I can go buy that tape I wanted to buy before!"
Even Sun Guodong said with a smile on his face: "Hey, I can buy my wife the fur coat she wants."
Someone nearby said, "Old Sun, it's summer now, and you're buying your sister-in-law a fur coat. Will she be happy about it?"
Sun Guodong rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Humph, no wonder you don't have a wife. You don't understand. Women don't consider the season when choosing clothes, they only consider whether they look good."
Zhao Hui echoed, "Hahahaha, Old Sun is right! My wife spent several hundred dollars on a short-sleeved sweater last year. I asked her, 'Your arms get cold in the winter, but it warms you up in the summer. Why did you buy it?' She rolled her eyes at me and said, 'You don't understand, it's just a nice-looking sweater.'"
"Hahaha, my partner is the same..."
"Hey, my partner is like that too..."
The topic gradually went off track. Those who were in a relationship started talking about their partners in the name of complaining but actually showing off, while those who were single could only listen silently.
Shi Yue, who also has no partner, is secretly thinking about what to do with his bonus. Although he has no partner, he has a daughter, and the bonus can be used to buy two new clothes for Xiaoqiu.
Summer is here, and Xiaoqiu is still wearing last year's clothes left by her original body. Some of the clothes are a little too small. It happens that tomorrow is Sunday and he can take Xiaoqiu to buy clothes.
There is no impenetrable wall in each department of the factory. The news that the security department received a collective bonus for catching a thief spread quickly. Although there were people in the factory who were envious and jealous, there were more gossipers.
Everyone's attention was not on the bonus, but on the thief Hou San. Everyone had heard that he stole parts by hiding them in his buttocks and taking them out, and they were all very surprised.
Those who had good news came to the Security Department specifically to inquire about the details of Hou Sanzang's things. For the whole day, there was an endless stream of people coming to the Security Department to inquire about the news. Because of this, Shi Yue was unable to catch any fish at work.
He finally waited until the end of get off work and was the first one to rush out of the office. He couldn't wait to go to the kindergarten, and the first thing he did when he met Shi Qiushui was to tell her the good news.
Shi Qiushui was also very happy when she heard this. She jumped up and down and said, "Dad, your factory is really generous!"
After living there for a while, she already had a rough idea of the prices in the 1990s, so the extra half month's salary given by the factory this time was really a lot.
Based on her father's monthly salary of 300 yuan, half a month would be 150 yuan. If all of it was used to buy her favorite roast chicken, she could buy dozens of them!
Shi Yue nodded: "Well, you are quite generous this time. I didn't expect you to be so generous."
Shi Qiushui sighed expectantly, "Dad, I wish you could catch thieves every day in the future."
Shi Yue knocked his daughter's forehead with his knuckles: "Don't dream, where can I catch so many thieves?"
Shi Qiushui pouted: "I know, I'm just saying!"
Shi Yue: "Girl, let's talk about something practical. I was thinking, tomorrow we will use this bonus to buy you two pieces of clothing, and then after buying the clothes, we will go out for a meal. I heard from my colleagues that there is a restaurant outside the department store..."
As the Shi family's father and daughter were talking, they soon arrived at the slum. They entered the yard together. There was a large crowd of people gathered in the yard, and it was very lively. When Shi Yue saw this, he thought that someone was arguing again, and he immediately looked around for Yao Dazui's figure.
As long as there is a quarrel going on, Yao Dazui can’t be absent!
But after searching around, he couldn't find Yao Dazui. Instead, Shi Qiushui tugged at his clothes and said, "Dad, I heard Grandma Yao's voice!"
Shi Yue: "Ah? Where is your Grandma Yao?"
"Inside!" Shi Qiu Shui pointed his finger towards the center of the crowd.
Shi Yue leaned forward to look at the center of the crowd, and it was indeed Yao Dazui.
Yao Dazui stood in the middle of the crowd, his face beaming as he held up the certificate. He said, "Look here, everyone. Can you see what's written on it? Let me read it to you all. It says that because Comrade Yao Honglian has made outstanding contributions to public security at the machinery factory, after discussion within the factory and with the neighborhood office, she's been awarded the title of 'Public Security Activist.' This certificate is being issued as a special encouragement."
Gao Cuifen felt extremely jealous, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface: "I know, it's just a lousy award certificate, you've been showing off all afternoon, when will you stop?"
Yao Dazui: "That's not all! I just want to show off! This certificate was sent to me by the factory director's secretary and the street director. It's the first one in our street. Why shouldn't I show off?"
"Besides," she said, pointing to the words "Public Security Activist" on the certificate, "See? The organization has recognized me as an activist. This is such a great honor. It would be inappropriate if I didn't show off!"
Gao Cuifen curled her lips: "Besides, you are just lucky and caught up..."
Yao Dazui put his hands on his hips and said, "Hey, Gao Cuifen, I don't like what you're saying. I helped you catch the thief who stole bacon before, and you said I was lucky. This time I helped the machinery factory catch the thief, and you still say I was just lucky. What's the matter? Are you so unwilling to admit my strength?"
Gao Cuifen was unconvinced: "You were just lucky to run into Hou San selling stolen goods. If I were there, I could catch him too!"
"Tsk!" Yao Dazui said, "You're just jealous of me. Go ahead and do it, but you're nothing! I was able to catch him selling stolen goods because I investigated every auto parts store nearby!"
Gao Cuifen: "You're still investigating? You're really trying to flatter yourself. Isn't it just a matter of talking?"
Yao Dazui rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Gao Cuifen's nose, and said, "If you're really that unconvinced, go catch the thief and show him to me tomorrow! Stop just talking sourly here!"
Gao Cuifen was so excited that she immediately responded, "Catch him! He's just a thief. Wait till I catch him and show you how to catch him!"
"Hahaha, Gao Cuifen, you are too boastful. You are just a thief. Do you think thieves are so easy to catch?" Needless to say, the first person who came out to sabotage Gao Cuifen was, of course, Li Xiuying.
"That's right, Lao Gao, stop messing around. Besides, Lao Yao helped the factory catch the thief, which is a good thing and an honor for our entire compound. You shouldn't be jealous of her." It was Ma Yulan who said this. She was worthy of being the manager of the compound. Every word she spoke spoke of the honor of the compound.
"Oh, Lao Gao is right. It's not easy to catch a thief. Don't say anything just to be angry with Lao Yao. Hurry up and apologize to Lao Yao and pretend that you never said anything before." This is the good-natured old lady Yang, who tried to smooth things over as soon as she opened her mouth.
The more people said this, the more excited Gao Cuifen became. Her face flushed with excitement as she said, "Hey, you don't believe I can catch a thief, right? Fine, then I'll catch one for you guys to see. Just wait and see!"
She said this and walked away with her head held high.
"Hey, this person... forget it, Lao Yao, just ignore her. Go on and tell me how you discovered that Hou San was wrong."
"Okay!" Yao Dazui said, "That's a long story. It has to start from Thursday. That day..."
Seeing that Yao Dazui was about to start the story from the beginning again, Shi Yue dragged Shi Qiushui back home. Shi Qiushui was a little unhappy when he was dragged away. Shi Yue was puzzled: "Didn't you hear your grandmother Yao tell this story once?"
Shi Qiushui blinked his eyes: "Yes, I've heard it once, but I still want to join in the fun."
Shi Yue: ......
Who did this child inherit this from? Why does he love to join in the fun so much?
He pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and asked, "So do you want to join in the fun, or do you want to go home and eat?"
Shi Qiushui said without hesitation: "Go home and eat!"
Shi Yue: "...Why don't you come home with me?"
"Okay." Shi Qiu Shui could only obediently let Shi Yue lead him home.
The Shi family prepared a simple dinner. Shi Yue cut two sausages that he bought with the roast chicken yesterday, and cut a handful of green vegetables. Then he steamed the sausages, green vegetables and the leftover rice from last night together in a pot, and then it was ready to eat.
Don't blame Shi Yue for not cooking well. After all, he was a young master who had never done housework in his previous life. Therefore, his shallow cooking skills only allow him to make food with simple steps like this. He won't be able to make it if the steps are a little more complicated.
Fortunately, Shi Qiu Shui was not a picky girl, and she found the simple braised rice with sausages to be delicious.
After eating and cleaning up, Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui sat in the living room to watch TV. The Shi family's TV was a color TV that the original owner bought when he got married. After seven or eight years, it was now a model that was almost obsolete. However, because of its good quality, it could still be used frequently, so Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui didn't care about the model. Anyway, they enjoyed watching it and didn't think there was anything wrong with this TV at all.
After all, in the eyes of these two ancient people, it is not an exaggeration to say that a television that can be used to watch news and TV dramas can be said to be a divine object!
The father and daughter were watching Journey to the West. Today they were at the episode about the Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon. Shi Qiushui pouted and complained, "This Tang Sanzang is so stupid! That woman looks like a demon, and he..."
Shi Yue nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
Shi Qiushui: "Tang Sanzang still wants to chase Sun Wukong away. Humph, if I were Sun Wukong, I would have left long ago and ignored him!"
Shi Yue: "That's right, Sun Wukong, please take good care of Tang Sanzang along the way... Ouch, hiss, I'm not used to it. Xiaoqiu, my stomach suddenly hurts a little, I have to go to the toilet."
Shi Qiushui stared at the TV screen and said without turning his head, "Dad, go ahead."
It was already past nine o'clock, almost ten, and it was already dark outside. Shi Yue put a flashlight in his pocket, held a roll of toilet paper, and hurried out. After he left the compound, the alley outside was silent. The uncles and aunts who liked to chat in the alley had already gone home, and there was no one outside.
As expected, there was no one in the toilet at that moment. Shi Yue found a toilet and squatted down to start dealing with the important matter of his life.
Maybe it was because he drank a few sips of cold water after getting off work, his stomach was churning and uncomfortable, and he squatted for a long time. At first he didn't notice anything unusual, but as time passed, he inexplicably felt like someone was staring at him.
There was no light in the toilet, and the only thing that could illuminate Shi Yue was the faint light of the flashlight. He waved the flashlight around and found that there was indeed no one else in the toilet, but the feeling of being stared at still did not disappear.
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew over, and the hairs on Shi Yue's back stood up.
He held his breath and asked in a cold voice, "Who, who is hiding there?"
The only response he got was silence, a deathly silence.
He didn't hear any movement, and he was a little suspicious. Could it be that he was wrong? Was all this just his illusion?
He finished solving the most important matter in his life with half-belief and half-doubt, and came out of the bathroom. Strangely, as soon as he walked out of the bathroom, the feeling of being stared at disappeared.
He didn't investigate further and hurried back home. At home, Shi Qiu Shui was still immersed in the plot of the TV series and didn't notice the abnormality on his face.
Seeing this, Shi Yue didn't tell Shi Qiu Shui about his experience in the toilet just now. He continued watching TV with Shi Qiu Shui as if nothing had happened. However, his stomach was really uncooperative and soon started to rumble again.
He frowned, held his stomach, and didn't want to go to the bathroom again.
But his stomach obviously didn't understand what its owner was thinking and kept rumbling.
There was no other way, Shi Yue could only hold his stomach and walk out, while not forgetting to say: "Xiao Qiu, I'm going to the toilet again."
This time, Shi Qiushui spared some energy and turned around to ask, "Dad, are you okay?"
Shi Yue: "It's okay, I might have had some diarrhea because I drank some cold water at night, but it's nothing serious."
Shi Qiushui: "Oh, okay, Dad, you go."
Shi Yue walked out holding his stomach. As soon as he walked out of the door, he bumped into Zhao Hui who came from the backyard. Zhao Hui was also holding a flashlight and toilet paper, obviously going to the bathroom as well.
He came over and said, "Brother Zhao, you need to go to the bathroom too."
Zhao Hui: "Yeah."
Now Shi Yue felt a little relieved. Someone went to the toilet with him, which made him feel a little better.
He put his arm around Zhao Hui's shoulder, and to make his actions seem less awkward, he said something else: "Brother Zhao, we're going to have a day off tomorrow. Do you have any plans?"
Zhao Hui didn't think much about it and said, "Tomorrow? Maybe my wife and I will take Zhao Ran to my mother-in-law's house. What's wrong? What's going on?"
Shi Yue: "No, I just asked."
Zhao Hui: "Oh. What about you, Shi Yue? What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Shi Yue: "I'm going to take Xiaoqiu to the department store and buy her two pieces of clothing. Her current clothes are a bit too small."
He sighed: "Children's clothes are so fragile."
Zhao Hui nodded, agreeing deeply: "That's right, children's clothes are not durable, especially winter and summer clothes. They can only be worn for one season at most. By the second year, they will definitely be too small to wear."
He said: "Besides clothes, there are also shoes. Children's feet grow quickly, and the shoes they wear will basically become too small after two or three months and need to be replaced. So when my family buys clothes and shoes for Zhao Ran, they are always two sizes larger so that they can wear them longer."
Shi Yue: "When I buy clothes and shoes for Xiaoqiu, I always buy one or two sizes bigger."
As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the toilet door at the entrance of the alley. They walked in quickly. Zhao Hui passed on his experience to Shi Yue while using the toilet.
"Shi Yue, if you want to take Xiao Qiu shopping for clothes, you can go to 'Ya Ya Ya' on the second floor of the department store on the left. The clothes there are of good quality. My family always goes there to buy clothes for Zhao Ran."
Shi Yue: "Okay, I'll go there and take a look tomorrow."
Zhao Hui: "Well, you can look around more. There are still a few good clothes shops in the department store. But you must not buy clothes from the one on the outermost floor. Although it is cheap, the quality is poor. The fabrics are inferior and they will fall apart after wearing them for two days. My mother was fooled once and bought... "
Zhao Hui was still talking, but Shi Yue was no longer listening attentively because the feeling of being stared at came back.
The feeling of being on edge was so real that Shi Yue felt as if someone was hiding in the dark and spying on him.
He frowned and glanced around quietly, but because it was too dark, he saw nothing.
"Shi Yue? Shi Yue?" Zhao Hui talked for a long time but didn't get a response from Shi Yue. He realized something was wrong, so he shouted.
Shi Yue came back to his senses: "Huh?"
Zhao Hui: "What's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, but you're silent?"
Shi Yue thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhao, do you feel like someone is watching us?"
"Huh? Peeping?" Zhao Hui smiled nonchalantly, "Shi Yue, you're overthinking it. It's the middle of the night, what can you possibly see? Besides, even if someone was peeping, they were only peeping into the women's restroom. Who would squat outside the men's restroom and peek?"
He didn't take Shi Yue's words seriously, and he didn't lower his voice like Shi Yue did.
But soon after he finished speaking, Shi Yue and Zhao Hui heard a rustling sound of footsteps. It was obvious that someone had been peeping at them before, and because of Zhao Hui's words, the person realized that he had been discovered and ran away.
"Fuck, is there really someone peeking?"
Zhao Hui reacted and cursed.
Shi Yue reacted faster. He immediately pulled up his pants and chased after him, while reminding him, "Brother Zhao, we can't let that guy get away!"
"That's right! We can't let that guy get away!" Zhao Hui quickly stood up. Damn it, peeping into the men's restroom in the middle of the night, what kind of pervert is this? He definitely can't let him go!
Shi Yue walked quickly. When he chased out of the toilet, the peeping pervert just "whoosh" past him and ran into the alley.
Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, he still noticed the obvious features: she was a woman of considerable age.
Well!
It turns out that perversions come regardless of gender or age!
Shi Yue strode in the direction the woman was running, but after running a few steps, he was stunned when he saw that the person was trying to go into Yard No. 28.
No, this pervert who peeped at him while he was using the toilet was from their hospital???
It's true that you can only judge a person by his appearance! How could he not have realized before that there was actually a pervert like this living in their yard who liked to peek at people going to the toilet?
Just as Shi Yue was stunned, Zhao Hui had already caught up with him. He shouted, "You pervert, stop right there!"
The person who was running away seemed to be frightened by his scolding. She staggered and fell straight forward. Her first reaction after falling was to get up, but it seemed that she was thrown too hard by the man. She struggled but failed to get up, and her body fell heavily to the ground again.
Shi Yue and Zhao Hui took the opportunity to step forward and hold her down. Zhao Hui said, "Humph, you pervert! I told you to run, huh? Now go ahead and run! Run for me! Hey, we've caught you now, you can't run away!"
He grabbed the man's collar and lifted his face up: "I want to see, you pervert, what exactly are you... Huh? Aunt Gao?"
