Chapter 015 Eavesdropping Discovered
Life in the slums is always noisy.
Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of sounds like doors opening, water being poured, and adults and children talking in the yard. Shi Yue covered his ears and tossed and turned in bed several times before finally getting up. He looked up at the watch and it was half past six. It was almost time to get up.
He changed his clothes, put on slippers and opened the door. When Shi Qiu Shui was still young, as the pillar of the family, he still had to get up early to go to work and earn money.
I really hope Xiaoqiu grows up quickly, preferably to her twenties so she can work and support the family!
Shi Qiushui walked out of the bedroom with messy hair:???
What's going on? Why does she feel like her father looks at her in strange and mysterious eyes?
Shi Yue: "Xiao Qiu, let's go wash up quickly, and then go to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the alley to have breakfast. I saw they were selling beef buns there yesterday. How about we have beef buns with wontons today?"
Shi Qiushui: "Okay!"
Beef buns wow, she loves them!
With the beef buns hanging in front of him, Shi Qiu Shui quickly forgot about Shi Yue's strange expression, quickly washed up, applied perfume on himself, and then looked at himself in the mirror. He looked very good and perfect, except that his hair was a little messy, so he combed it again.
I dipped the small comb in some water and quickly combed my messy hair. Then I looked in the mirror and said, "Okay, there's no problem this time."
Shi Qiushui packed up, put on his schoolbag, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Dad, let's go!"
"Hey, Xiaoqiu, don't be anxious, wait for me for a moment."
Although Shi Yue is a big man, he is a delicate man. At this moment, he is applying Shi Qiu Shui's baby cream in front of the mirror.
As he applied the cream on his face, he sighed, "The 1990s were great. The facial creams here are better than ours. They smell good and aren't greasy at all."
Shi Qiushui: "...Dad, can you please hurry up!"
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Look at you, I'm just a little slow, and you're rushing me..." Shi Yue muttered dissatisfiedly.
Shi Qiushui ignored his muttering and grabbed his arm and walked out: "Dad, hurry up, didn't we agree to go to the breakfast stall to eat breakfast?"
"Hey hey hey, let's go, let's go."
Shi Qiu Shui finally ate the beef buns from the breakfast stall. The crust was soft and the filling was full of meaty aroma. When they took a bite, the rich juice from the meat filling flowed into their mouths unconsciously. Shi Qiu Shui and Shi Yue were very satisfied with the meal, and both of them narrowed their eyes with satisfaction.
In addition to steamed buns, the wontons at this breakfast stall are also delicious, with crispy and chewy pork filling and thin dough. Shi Qiu Shui ate one in a mouthful, enjoying it very much.
"Um, Dad, what time is it?"
Halfway through the meal, Shi Qiu Shui suddenly looked up and asked.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look..." Shi Yue rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch: "It's 7:10 now, don't worry, there's still time, eat slowly."
It’s 7:10, so there’s really no rush.
The kindergarten and the machinery factory both require students to arrive before 7:30.
Shi Qiu Shui nodded and continued to eat. The portion provided by the breakfast stall was too generous. Even though she was eating the small bowl of wontons ordered by her father, there were more than ten wontons in the bowl. After she finished the buns in her hand, she really couldn't eat the wontons anymore.
She looked at Shi Yue with a pleading look: "Dad, I can't finish it..."
"Okay, pour it into my bowl." After eating the bottom of his daughter's bowl for a few days, Shi Yue had gotten used to it.
"Hehe, thank you, Dad." After getting Shi Yue's nod, Shi Qiu Shui quickly poured the remaining wontons in his bowl into Shi Yue's big bowl.
Shi Yue finished the buns in just a few bites, picked up the big bowl of wontons and cleaned it up in two bites. Since the 1990s, his eating habits have become more unrestrained. Just looking at the way he eats, you would never guess that he was a well-mannered scholar in the past.
"Okay, now that we're done eating, let's go."
Hearing this, Shi Qiushui jumped down from the stool: "Let's go."
The distance from the breakfast stall to the kindergarten was only a few hundred meters. It didn't take long for the father and daughter to reach the kindergarten gate. Shi Qiushui saw their teacher, Teacher Xiaolin, standing at the gate from a distance. She shook off Shi Yue's hand and ran towards the kindergarten, saying, "Dad, I saw Teacher Xiaolin. I'll go over first."
When Shi Yue saw Shi Qiu Shui flying away like a little bird, he felt a little uneasy.
How come his daughter is happier to see the teacher than to see him? Is she still his biological daughter?
However, when he saw Shi Qiu Shui running into the kindergarten and turning back to wave to him, the little jealousy in his heart disappeared.
Although he was close to the teacher, his daughter obviously still hadn't forgotten him.
Shi Yue also waved at Shi Qiushui, signaling her to go in. Shi Qiushui nodded, turned around and ran into the garden. When she was out of sight, Shi Yue turned around and left.
Because it is a kindergarten affiliated with an affiliated machinery factory, the kindergarten and the machinery factory are not far away, just a matter of crossing the road. Shi Yue arrived at the factory in a short while. The person on duty at the factory gate today is Zhang Lei, Sun Guodong's apprentice.
Shi Yue passed by and greeted him: "Lei Zi, you are on duty."
Regardless of what he was thinking, Zhang Lei remained polite: "Hey, I'm on duty, Brother Shi, you're here."
Shi Yue: "Okay, okay, you stay on duty, I'll go in first."
Zhang Lei had a sunny smile on his face: "Okay, Brother Shi, take care."
Shi Yue raised an eyebrow. Wasn't it said that Zhang Lei was Sun Guodong's apprentice? Why did he feel that this apprentice looked nothing like his master?
If I didn't know that Zhang Lei was on Sun Guodong's side and would definitely be unhappy with me, just looking at Zhang Lei's attitude, I really couldn't tell that there was anything wrong with him.
Tsk tsk, how did Sun Guodong, a straightforward man who showed everything he thought on his face, bring up a disciple with such a complicated mind?
Shi Yue was thinking about this as he walked towards the office. As soon as he entered the office, he heard a familiar cold snort. He looked up and saw that it was Sun Guodong again.
He chuckled and asked, "Old Sun, are you born in the Year of the Pig?"
Sun Guodong didn't expect Shi Yue to suddenly talk to him and ask such a nonsensical and inexplicable question, which made him unable to react.
"I'm not a pig, I'm a snake. Why are you asking?"
Shi Yue raised the corner of his mouth: "Oh, I saw you humming all day long, and I thought you were born in the Year of the Pig. I didn't expect that I misunderstood."
"You! You..." When Sun Guodong realized that Yue was implying something about him, his face turned red with anger, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything to refute. He could only grit his teeth and blame himself for not reacting earlier.
Shi Yue knew very well that the secret to an argument was to run away after winning, not giving the other person a chance to talk back. So, without waiting for Sun Guodong to speak, he said, "Well, I'm going to get some hot water. Does anyone want to come with me?"
There was a moment of silence in the office, and after a while someone answered: "No, Brother Shi, we don't drink hot water. If you want to get some, go by yourself."
Yue was not surprised at all when he heard this. Those people in the office who were ostracizing him were unwilling to even have a meal with him, let alone go to fetch water with him.
He calmly picked up the cup, pretending not to notice Sun Guozhu's face twisted with anger: "Okay, then I'll go by myself."
Each floor of the machinery factory office building had a toilet and a hot water room, located in the first and second rooms from the left in the corridor. Shi Yue came out of the office and walked to the left. Before he reached the next door, he heard Sun Guodong's angry voice coming from the office.
"Damn it! I knew that Shi was no good. Did you hear me? He called me a pig. Damn it! I didn't even realize he was calling me a pig at first! I'm so pissed!"
Hearing this, Shi Yue couldn't help laughing. Is it true that Sun Guodong is not born in the Year of the Pig?
Why does he feel that Sun Guodong's brain is as bad as a pig's?
"Don't be angry, Old Sun. I know that devil boy at first sight. He's only good at talking. He's definitely no match for you in other things. When he comes back later, show him your skills and let him know how powerful you are."
"Come on, Lao Wang, you forgot that Shi Yue is a retired soldier. I definitely can't win against him."
"Of course, Old Wang, didn't you see Shi Yue's muscular body? His arms are almost twice as thick as mine. You want me to show him off? I think you want me to show off my skills, right?"
Shi Yue had to cover his mouth desperately to control himself from laughing out loud. He swore that he really didn't mean to eavesdrop. He just walked a little slower and didn't expect to hear such a funny conversation.
Even though he was sure that everyone in the office was on Sun Guodong's side, after hearing this, he couldn't help but wonder, is there really no undercover agent he had planted there?
He knew that Sun Guodong disliked him, but he still used himself to anger Sun Guodong.
Shi Yue knew without even looking that Sun Guodong's expression must be very interesting at the moment.
As expected, the next second, Sun Guodong's roar could be heard from the office: "No, who the hell are you on? Why are you only saying good things about that bastard?"
"Hey, Lao Sun, don't be angry, we don't mean anything else..."
"Yes, Lao Sun, we are just discussing the matter at hand. We don't mean to say that you are inferior to Shi Yue. Don't take it too seriously..."
"Yes, Old Sun, although you are not as good at talking as my uncle, not as strong as my uncle, not as high in position as my uncle, and not as young as my uncle, don't be sad, you still have your strengths..."
Sun Guodong: "Then tell me, what are my strengths?"
"Uh... this... that... let me think about it. Don't worry, Lao Sun. I'll think about it slowly..."
Shi Yue: Hahahahahahahahaha!
For the first time, Shi Yue discovered how difficult it was to hold back his laughter, but no, he couldn't, he couldn't laugh out loud.
He was afraid that Sun Guodong would be angry to death after hearing his laughter.
"Hey, Shi Yue, what are you doing standing at the office door? Why don't you go in?"
Shi Yue, who was trying to hold back his laughter, heard Zhao Hui's voice and his body stiffened. He turned his head stiffly and his eyes met Zhao Hui who was walking from the other side, and Sun Guodong who was peeking out of the office.
Oops, my eavesdropping was discovered...
