Does having a brother mean no candy?!
How could this be?!
Dun Dun was so frightened by Huang Qinqin's question that he took several steps back.
Then she shook her head firmly: "DunDun doesn't want her brother anymore!"
After saying that, Dundun was still a little worried. He walked back to Aunt Huang's side and said seriously, "Mommy~ Dundun doesn't want brother anymore!"
Sister-in-law Huang suppressed a laugh and said, "Are you really not going to? If Dundun really wants a brother, it's not impossible."
No, please!
Dundun shook his head vigorously, his head almost leaving a blurry afterimage.
Dundun thought to himself: No wonder Tiedan and the others didn't have any candy to eat. So my brother was going to trade candy for it!
Huang Qinqin took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her handbag and handed them to Dundun: "Dundun, here. Hide the candies and eat them slowly."
Dun Dun's eyes lit up when he saw the candy in Huang Qinqin's hand.
Because when Kang Kang turned one month old not long ago, everyone gave him a lot of cakes and candies.
Because some of the candies don't keep very well, Grandma Huang didn't restrict Dun Dun's candy intake during that period.
Because the adults didn't stop him, and there were plenty of pastries and candies at home, Dun Dun successfully ate until his teeth hurt.
You'll find that Dun Dun has a toothache, but it's not something Dun Dun himself said.
Dun Dun is quite capable; even though he had a toothache, he managed to endure it without telling the adults, and even kept eating candy.
The Huang family discovered this because later, half of Dun Dun's face was swollen!
They immediately took Dun Dun to see a barefoot doctor, who prescribed some medicine and told them not to give him any sweets for a while.
Then, starting a few days ago, Dun Dun was restricted from eating candy. No matter how much he begged and pleaded, no one gave him any candy.
At first, it was because I was worried that Dundun's toothache would continue, but later it was simply because we didn't have much candy left at home. So Dundun hasn't eaten any candy for the past few days.
When Huang Jiancai and his friends went home last time, they bought a lot of things, but that didn't include candy.
Dundun took the milk candy and, in front of Aunt Huang, loudly conspired, "Okay~ Dundun will hide it and eat it; it's a secret between me and my aunt~"
"Oh, you know a secret?"
Huang Qinqin reached out and poked Dun Dun's cheek a few times, exclaiming once again, "It feels so good!"
Dun Dun wasn't annoyed when he was poked; he focused intently and tried his best to stuff the candy into his pocket.
After playing around with Dun Dun for a while, Huang Qinqin finally remembered the important matter.
"Sister-in-law, how long will it take for the village's pickled vegetables to be ready? Can you supply a large quantity before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Huang Qinqin wasn't in a hurry, because the contract had already been signed, and the department store hadn't specified when the supply would begin.
But in the last few days, the department store has seen a surge in customers buying premium-quality cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
While strolling around, Huang Qinqin asked a few aunties, and it turned out they were all planning to buy them to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The aunties said, "Anyway, we're going to buy things to visit relatives, so buying 2 yuan worth of candy isn't much."
"But buying this is different. You buy one dollar's worth of candy and get this big bottle. It looks so impressive!"
"Yes, yes! This looks great, is stylish, and isn't expensive. Most importantly, it's practical. It's suitable as a gift for a superior or relative!"
"Moreover, nowadays, cadres' families all eat this kind of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Anyway, I plan to buy this as a gift for the New Year."
Then Huang Qinqin felt that they should take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival crowds.
The pickled vegetables in Huangjia Village are not expensive, only 30 cents a bottle, and each bottle contains at least half a pound.
Although it may not be as presentable as fancy packaged oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar as a gift, it's cheap and delicious.
Sister-in-law Huang calculated: "It should be fine by the Mid-Autumn Festival. Grandma said before that it would be about twenty days later when we can eat it."
"There are still more than 20 days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it might be a bit rushed, but we should be able to make it in time."
"That's good. If there's enough time, we might be able to sell more during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
......
After visiting Fang Hui yesterday, Xu Weiguo had just managed to calm himself down.
Thinking it best to let things take their course, I decided to stop asking about the timing of Xu Weimin's verdict.
As soon as he got back to the station today, someone told him that Xu Weimin's case had been closed.
Xu Weiguo: ......
Xu Weiguo has no other thoughts right now but to curse.
He took a deep breath to calm himself: "When was the case closed? Today?"
"No, the case was closed yesterday afternoon. The bureau chief closed it personally."
Okay, Xu Weiguo didn't return to the station yesterday afternoon. So the news was a bit delayed.
Xu Weiguo only cared about one thing: "What will be the verdict for Xu Weimin?"
"The case report shows that Xu Weimin had a good attitude in admitting his guilt and did not intentionally kill the victim. Therefore, he was sentenced to ten years of labor reform in the Northwest."
"Okay, I understand. Now that the case is closed, let's leave it at that."
"Which cell is Xu Weimin in now? I'd like to go and check on him."
"Forehead..."
The police officers who came to talk to Xu Weiguo started sweating profusely when they heard this question.
He cursed under his breath: "I was wondering why they were all so sweet-talking today. Turns out they all knew there was a risk in coming to report!"
Seeing the police officer's expression, Xu Weiguo narrowed his eyes and asked in a dangerous tone, "What's wrong?"
"Don't tell me that the convicted criminals weren't locked up in jail, but were released? Huh?"
The policeman's face was covered in sweat, which was getting into his eyes, but he didn't dare to wipe it away.
He answered tremblingly, "No! We didn't release them!"
"That's right, that's right..."
"What is it?"
"Xu Weimin left for the Northwest this morning, and he's probably on the train by now..."
Xu Weiguo sneered, "Fine, really fine!"
This was the first time he had ever seen a case closed one day and the person being exiled the next. And they were even leaving in the early hours of the morning.
Seeing that the policeman was already drenched in sweat, Xu Weiguo didn't make things difficult for him. He waved his hand and let him leave.
......
Before Xu Weiguo could even go to find Fang Hui, Fang Hui came to find him first.
“This morning, our company fired Xu Weimin. I can arrange for someone to go and take back the house they are currently living in at any time.”
"How are your arrangements going?"
Xu Weiguo said unhappily, "We can't go collect the house yet. We haven't had time to go find He Sanmei."
“I didn’t come back to the station yesterday. Xu Weimin had already boarded the train early this morning. I just found out that the case has been closed.”
Fang Hui looked at Xu Weiguo, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "It's normal that you were kept in the dark."
"Because one of Xu Weimin's helpers is your Director Chen."
