Chapter 167 Extra

The summer in Anhai is much cooler than that in Beijing.

The old couple of the Tan family lived in Tan Yi's house. Grandpa Tan took the initiative to join the team of Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Fan. Every day, he either went fishing or went fishing in the sea. Occasionally, he would go swimming in the sea for a few laps and had a lot of fun.

With the two old people, Tan Yi stayed and became an out-and-out housekeeper.

On Friday afternoon, Grandpa Tan went to play cards with the old guys, and Tan Yi helped prepare dinner at home.

At about five o'clock, Aunt Wu poured the steamed potatoes and eggplants into a white porcelain bowl.

Tan Yi took it to the living room and crushed the potatoes and eggplants with a spoon while watching the TV news.

Old Lady Tan came down from the stairs and sat quietly beside him.

Tan Yi said, "Grandma, the watermelon has just settled, it's not too cold yet, would you like to eat less?"

Old Mrs. Tan said, "Okay, Grandma, eat a little."

Tan Yi put down the spoon and went to the refrigerator to scoop two spoonfuls of watermelon - the old lady had a major operation and was very restrained in eating.

The two grandparents were not talkative people, and they did their own things, but they didn't feel awkward.

There was nothing to watch in the news, so Old Mrs. Tan watched the potato cubes turn into mashed potatoes, and then mixed with the purple eggplant mash to turn into light purple mashed potatoes.

She coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Yi, what kind of dish is this? It looks weird."

Tan Yi's eyebrows flew up, "Qingqing said she wanted to eat rice dumplings. I asked for the recipe and asked Aunt Wu to try to make it."

"Rice dumplings?" Old Mrs. Tan asked herself that she had eaten a lot of delicious food, but she had never heard of this kind of food. "Is it delicious?"

Tan Yi said, "Qingqing said it was very delicious and easy to digest."

Old Mrs. Tan smiled, "The ingredients are simple, but it is very delicious. Grandma is looking forward to it."

Tan Yi knew that the old lady said this, but she was definitely not thinking about it in her heart - it was just a mixture of potatoes and eggplants, how delicious could it be?

The reason why she didn't refute it was because she didn't see the recipe and didn't know the other ingredients, so she wouldn't criticize it randomly.

After the trial, she took off her thorny armor and returned to her former self, being reasonable, well-mannered, and calm in her dealings with others. She seemed to have been reborn.

Tan Yi was very happy for her. He could let go of his hatred for criminals and naturally understand his grandmother who had brought him up.

He said, "Qingqing likes to study food. Generally speaking, the dishes she recommends are all good."

The aroma of fried peanuts wafted from the kitchen.

Tan Yi said, "You watch TV. I'll go beat the eggs. I'll fry the egg sauce later."

Old Mrs. Tan nodded.

...

Xie Qing went to a scene in the morning and solved the case in the afternoon.

At nearly six o'clock, she drove into the yard, went into the house to change into a set of casual clothes, picked up the two bags of seafood she had just bought, and went to Tan's house in slippers - she could now eat ready-made food when she got home, and her life was very comfortable.

When she was about to reach Tan Yi's house, a young man with a travel bag, sunglasses, and trendy clothes came from the direction of the community gate.

"Hi!" The young man greeted enthusiastically.

Xie Qing was a little surprised, but also responded politely, "Hello."

The young man pulled down his sunglasses and glanced at Xie Qing with his eyelids raised, "Excuse me, is this Zuilong Bay?"

Xie Qing felt that this person was a little bit crazy, but still answered the question, "Yes."

She turned her left foot and went to the gate of Tan's house.

"Hey, hey, hey..." The young man trotted, "Don't go, little beauty, do you know where the guy surnamed Tan lives?" The

guy surnamed Tan?

This kid looks like Bai Yu, with bigger eyes than Tan Yi, but not as handsome as Tan Yi. He should be Tan Yi's younger brother Tan Fei.

I heard that he went on a trip abroad with his classmates after the exam, and came back after the college entrance examination results were announced - I heard that the results were okay, and he was the last one to get into Peking University.

Xie Qing wanted to make a joke, but since it was their first time meeting, she didn’t want to go too far, so she said, “I just…”

Tan Fei interrupted her aggrievedly, “Little beauty, don’t you know? I searched for Zuilong Bay for a long time, and finally found this place. I’m so hungry. Where is Little Beauty’s home? Can you…”

“No!” Tan Yi strode out, raised his leg and kicked Tan Fei’s calf, “Why, you went abroad and don’t know your last name?”

The kick was quite powerful, and Tan Fei screamed, holding his calf and jumping several times, “Second brother, you are too unkind, kicking me as soon as you meet me, do you still have brotherhood?”

Tan Yi took the bag from Xie Qing’s hand and hugged her shoulders, “You can call me sister-in-law, but Little Beauty doesn’t.”

"Ah?" Tan Fei put down his legs and took a defensive posture, "How can an old cow eat young grass?"

Xie Qing was wearing a loose white T-shirt, a pair of pine cone green wide-leg cropped pants, and flip-flops. She looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

Xie Qing smiled and said, "My name is Xie Qing. I'm a forensic doctor at Anhai Municipal Bureau and your second brother's girlfriend."

"Forensic doctor!" Tan Fei widened his eyes. "Second brother, you actually found a forensic doctor. This is so cool!"

Tan Yi liked to hear this. "Okay, don't always learn from foreign countries and get so jumpy. Be careful or I'll beat you up."

Tan Fei covered his mouth and looked at the bag in Tan Yi's hand with greedy eyes. "Second brother, I want to eat seafood."

Tan Yi hugged Xie Qing and walked home. "The meal is ready. Wash your hands and eat."

"Okay!" Tan Fei jumped up with a smile and hugged Tan Yi's other arm. "Second brother, did you miss me?"

Tan Fei was busy with the college entrance examination. Tan Yi rarely returned to Beijing, and when he did, he lived in the old house. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for more than two months.

Tan Yi said, "If you could have said hello before you came, I would have missed you more."

Xie Qing said, "It's okay. Even if there's not enough food, these seafood are enough. Otherwise, ask Brother Chai to have a midnight snack together in the evening, and then treat Tan Fei to a big dinner tomorrow."

Tan Yi folded his arms and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements."

As soon as one of them said the first word, the other could make the next move without any hindrance. They had a tacit understanding .

Tan Fei curled his lips, "One policeman is scary enough, and a forensic doctor is simply fatal." After saying that, he ran away, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm here, your precious grandson is here!"

Xie Qing laughed, "After all, he is the youngest, and his personality is very different from yours."

Tan Yi said, "Tan Fei was raised by my parents, and my mother dotes on children."

The two went into the house.

Tan Yi sent the seafood to the kitchen, and Xie Qing washed her hands and went directly to the dining table.

The old couple had already sat down.

Grandpa Tan said with a smile, "Qingqing, are you busy today?"

Xie Qing picked up a lettuce leaf, added the egg sauce into the white porcelain bowl, tore the coriander and green onion into pieces, and mixed in the peanuts. "I'm not busy today. If I were busy, I wouldn't be back yet."

Tan Fei changed his clothes and came down. He looked at the food and said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you trying to lose weight?"

Xie Qing said, "This is called rice buns. Come and have a try."

Tan Fei was a meat lover, but he nodded to give her face. "Okay, the food is indeed fresh."

Xie Qing packed one portion and gave it to Grandma Tan first, and then packed the second one for Grandpa Tan.

Tan Fei stared at his grandmother, "Grandma, is it delicious?"

Old lady Tan nodded with a smile, "It looks rough, but it tastes really good."

Tan Yi came back and picked up the leaves to wrap it, "If Xiaofei doesn't like it, you can eat less or not, and eat seafood later. The crabs that Qingqing bought are big and lively. It will be ready in ten minutes."

Tan Fei hesitated for a moment, "Second brother, wrap a small one for me, I'll try it."

"Wait." Tan Yi scooped up a spoonful and put it on the leaf, "You eat yours, I'll wrap for Xiaofei."

Xie Qing picked up the third leaf and said with a smile, "Whoever finishes wrapping first, Xiaofei will eat his first."

Tan Yi's expression frightened, "Okay, then I'll be ready!"

The two old people and the child looked over together.

The two old men were watching the excitement with a smile, while the younger one frowned and muttered with a curled mouth, "Why are you so

childish? Since the second brother got a girlfriend, he has become nothing like the second brother." "Men are teenagers until they die." Old Master Tan patted Tan Fei on the back of his head, "Do you have the right to be childish?"

Tan Fei laughed, "That's not the case. This kind of second brother is good, but a little strange."

Old Lady Tan was a little slow in eating the vegetable buns.

Old Master Tan winked at Tan Fei, and Tan Fei quickly changed the subject and talked about traveling abroad.

...

Xie Qing was half a carpenter, and was much more skillful than Tan Yi's half-crippled right hand. He was the first to give the wrapped rice bun to Tan Fei.

Tan Fei raised his chin towards Tan Yi as if to protest.

Tan Yi gave him a cold look.

Tan Fei shrank his neck and quickly returned the rice dumpling to Xie Qing, "I'll eat second brother's, and sister Qingqing will eat her own. Tsk, so stingy."

"Good boy." Tan Yi was satisfied and continued to make rice dumplings.

The two brothers are ten years apart, and this word is still very intimate to Tan Fei. He took a bite of the rice dumpling happily, chewed it, and suddenly increased the speed.

The rice dumpling is not the most delicious, but it is definitely refreshing. The scallions and chilies are spicy, the peanuts are fragrant, and the coriander enhances the flavor. The taste is complex and the layers are very good.

Tan Fei was indeed hungry, and he ate quickly, grabbing the second one that Tan Yi had made.

"Although there are not many, no one will compete with you for it, so take your time." Mrs. Tan told her grandson, and then said to Xie Qing, "Without practice, you have no right to speak. I almost blamed you wrongly."

Xie Qing smiled and said, "This is indeed a dish that we easily despise."

Mrs. Tan could apologize for a dish, but she never apologized to Tan Yi, who she had wronged for more than ten years.

The reason is simple.

More than ten years of knots, more than ten years of resentment, more than ten years of misunderstanding, the harm brought to each other cannot be wiped out with a few words.

Since it cannot be wiped out, then verbal apologies are meaningless.

After dinner, Aunt Wu brought up the crabs and conchs. The two old people tasted them briefly and went out for a walk together.

Tan Yi called Chai Yu.

"Old Chai, are you home yet?"

"No, Qiao Yu is here. We are at the affordable seafood restaurant and are preparing to order. Do you and Xie Qing want to join in the fun?"

"No, my little brother is here and wants to have a barbecue with me tonight. Do you have time?"

"I'll ask Qiao Yu...she said yes."

"Okay, then let's go to the fish and mutton barbecue at nine o'clock."

"I'll be back soon. Let's play a few rounds first."

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

Tan Yi hung up the phone.

Tan Fei was curious: "Brother, you want to play billiard? I want to play too."

Tan Yi said: "Qingqing has it at home, we can play anytime."

"Great!" Tan Fei cheered happily, "Have a barbecue to help digest the food, perfect!"

...

At seven o'clock in the evening, Tan Fei was practicing billiard on the first floor, and Tan Yi helped Xie Qing prepare fruits.

Tan Yi turned on the water and carefully wiped off the hair on Kubo Momo. "Is there a case today?"

Xie Qing said, "A homicide occurred in Fengshan District. A young couple was killed at home by the father-in-law."

Tan Yi said, "Has it been solved?"

"Solved." Xie Qing nodded. "The case happened in the second half of the night. The father-in-law opened the door and went in. At first glance, it looked like a closed room murder case, but it was not. The father-in-law felt guilty and not only covered up the dead body of the female victim, but also kept the female victim's favorite bag next to him."

Tan Yi turned off the faucet and turned to look at Xie Qing. "Are you shocked?"

"You still understand me." Xie Qing stuffed a piece of watermelon into his mouth. "A murder in a closed room, the female victim was covered with a quilt, and there was a beautiful bag next to her hand. Naturally, I thought of Sao Qingniang. I first suspected a serial case, and then warned myself that thinking too much is not a good habit."

Tan Yi said: "The young couple would rather buy a bag for themselves than support their elderly father?"

"Ah..." Xie Qing sighed, "I heard that my father treated his daughter badly since she was young, and he is still disrespectful when he is old. They have always had a lot of conflicts. They are really a pitiful couple."

"I see." Tan Yi took the dripping chopping board from her hand and put it in the sink. "Gao Xuehua's trick did win a round, but so what? Didn't she still get shot in the end? Our general direction is right, so don't hold a grudge against it."

Xie Qing washed her hands, picked up a piece of watermelon with a small fork and put it in her mouth. "I'm not holding a grudge against it, I'm just reminding myself that things have many sides, and it's not a good habit to dwell on trivial matters."

"Where do you come from to reflect so much? Aren't you tired?" Tan Yi held her in his arms, "It's already amazing to have such achievements at your age."

Xie Qing raised her little face, "Really?"

"Really!" Tan Yi kissed her on her fair forehead.

He had just eaten watermelon, and his mouth was wet. Xie Qing felt uncomfortable, so she raised her hand to wipe it.

Tan Yi blinked, lowered his head and kissed Xie Qing's lips.

Xie Qing was caught off guard and opened her mouth subconsciously, and something soft with the sweet taste of watermelon broke into her mouth...

Her mind was confused for a moment, and then she hugged the thin waist.

The air was filled with a strong smell of hormones, and the two lips were glued together, inseparable.

Tan Yi braked first, and hugged Xie Qing tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.

He nibbled her ear gently, "It's better not to do it for half a year, what do you think?"

Humans do not have obvious estrus, but humans will have obvious sexual impulses, and so do women.

Xie Qing tried to calm down, "If it's just because of some need, I don't think it's necessary. Entering the state of an old couple in advance, with the left hand touching the right hand, it's so boring."

Tan Yi: "..." He wanted to refute, but he felt that Xie Qing's words made sense.

Humans are the most rational and advanced animals. Even if there are physical needs, they don't necessarily have to be satisfied immediately. If there are no women, or no men, do you have to go to prostitutes?

He pushed Xie Qing away and pecked her on the lips, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Knock, knock!" The security door was knocked.

Tan Yi and Xie Qing opened the door together and welcomed Chai Yu and Qiao Yu in. Qiao Yu was the blind date arranged by Chai Yu's family. The two had been living apart for several months and their relationship was stable. This was her first time to Anhai.

Xie Qing smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Chai, and Sister Qiao Yu."

Chai Yu first introduced Xie Qing, "Sister Qingqing, a forensic doctor who graduated from Peking University." Then he introduced Tan Yi, "Needless to say, my childhood friend Tan Yi."

Qiao Yu extended her hand generously, "Hello, sister, hello, brother Tan."

She has studied abroad and now works in a confidential research institute. She is a scholarly woman with a delicate appearance, willow-leaf eyebrows, long eyes, cherry lips, delicate and exquisite, very attractive.

Xie Qing held her hand and smiled, "We have been friends for a long time, and finally we meet."

"Yes." Qiao Yu said cheerfully, "Chai Yu mentioned you two a lot."

"Brother Yu!" Tan Fei ran up when he heard the noise.

"Good boy!" Chai Yu patted his shoulder, "I heard that you did well in the exam, and you will have no problem getting into Peking University?"

Tan Fei said proudly, "That's right! You can't embarrass your two brothers, right?"

"Haha..." Chai Yu hooked Tan Fei's shoulder, "Come on, come on, play a round with Brother Yu, let Brother Yu beat you up."

Tan Fei said, "If you can't beat my brother, then beat me. Who are you, Brother Yu?"

Chai Yu said, "Good guy!"

The three brothers went downstairs.

Xie Qing asked Qiao Yu, "Sister Qiao Yu, are you going to watch TV and eat fruit, or go downstairs to watch them play a couple of rounds?"

Qiao Yu said, "If you don't mind, please let me visit your house. It feels very unique."

Xie Qing said, "Of course I don't mind."

The two walked from the living room to the kitchen, from the first floor to the second floor, and finally went to the roof with two bottles of yogurt.

Qiao Yu asked, "Girls mostly like warmth and softness, why did Qingqing make the house so masculine?"

"I'm busy with work and don't have time to take care of it, that's one reason; secondly, it's more environmentally friendly to decorate it this way, after all, there is less paint and less formaldehyde." Xie Qing looked at Qiao Yu, "Why, are you considering decorating a new house?"

Qiao Yu smiled embarrassedly, "You police are really sharp, I haven't said anything yet."

Xie Qing said, "You are willing to come to Anhai, it's a signal, and you also pay attention to the house."

"Oh..." Qiao Yu smiled and shook her head, "That makes sense, you guessed it right, our date has been set, if nothing unexpected happens, the wedding will be held on October 26th."

Xie Qing bumped her yogurt cup, "Congratulations."

Qiao Yu asked, "What about you guys?"

Xie Qing thought for a moment, "It's hard to say now, it depends on the situation."

Qiao Yu didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them went down from the top floor to the basement.

Tan Yi was helping Xie Qing polish a drum leg, watching Chai Yu abuse Tan Fei from time to time.

Qiao Yu was surprised: "Qingqing has such a hobby?"

Xie Qing said: "Doing some handicrafts when you are under great pressure can help relieve stress."

Qiao Yu nodded, "It's classical furniture, amazing."

Xie Qing asked her to sit on a chair beside her, "It's not amazing, it's just a little hobby. What do you like to do?" Qiao Yu

said: "I can play the violin, but I'm not very good at it. Well, it's not much better than playing with cotton."

At this time, Chai Yu took the lead in putting the black ball into the bottom hole. While Tan Fei was swinging the ball, he asked Xie Qing: "Qingqing, has your brother had a blind date recently?"

Xie Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "Not recently, I'm not sure."

Chai Yu sat down beside her, "What do you think of my sister?"

This...

Xie Qing and Tan Yi looked at each other.

Tan Yi said: "What are you doing, kid? Shouldn't you ask Xuanxuan first?"

"Do you need to tell me that?" Chai Yu said seriously, "Xuanxuan agrees, and my family is willing too. Now it depends on Xie Chen. Qingqing, to be honest, my family is mainly attracted by your brother's character. Xuanxuan is a bit stubborn, and your brother has a calm personality. I think it's a good match."

Xie Qing glanced at Tan Yi.

Chai Yu immediately explained, "Xuanxuan is just chasing after Old Tan just to make trouble and sulk. If she really likes you, she would have already chased you. How can you live a leisurely life?"

In fact, even if Chai Yu didn't say so much, Xie Qing couldn't have refused outright. She had to give him the face he deserved.

She said, "Xuanxuan is in Beijing, and my brother is mainly in Anhai. It's not very suitable."

Chai Yu said, "That's not a problem. It's just a matter of a few hours' drive. She can just come to Anhai."

All right, they have considered it so comprehensively.

Xie Qing said, "Okay, I'll ask my brother. But let's be frank in advance. Love affairs cannot be forced, and we can't sacrifice public affairs for personal reasons."

"Hahaha..." Chai Yu laughed, "Just for you, I've decided on this marriage."

...

The five of them went out for a barbecue, and it was already eleven o'clock when they came back.

Tan Yi sent Xie Qing to the door of her house and said, "You don't have to worry about Xuanxuan's love for me. You know her personality. If she lets it go, she lets it go. She agreed because she thinks your brother is good. The Chai family is very good, otherwise I wouldn't have been dating Old Chai for so many years. To put it another way, even if something happens, don't I still have you?"

Xie Qing smiled and said, "I feel more relieved after hearing what you said, otherwise I'm really afraid that my brother will be bullied by the Chai family."

Tan Yi said, "That's impossible. You understand the reason, so I won't explain it."

Xie Qing certainly understood.

She and Tan Yi got together, and Xie Chen and the Chai family got together. They are all in-laws, which is much more stable than the relationship between childhood friends.

It seems that the Xie family has married up to both the Tan and Chai families, but in fact there is no need to think so.

Although the Xie family is not very prominent, the three brothers and sisters each run a stall and are very successful.

Even without the Tan Chai family, they can still make a good living by staying in their own field.

Confidence is a must.

Xie Qing said, "Okay. Go back soon and go to bed early."

Tan Yi held her in his arms, "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll ask Aunt Wu to make it for you."

Xie Qing lay on his chest and listened to the rapid heartbeat, "Anything is fine. I'll eat whatever Grandpa Tan and Grandma Tan eat."

Tan Yi said, "She's really easy to feed."

Xie Qing pushed him away, "She has to serve several people at once. It's good to have something to eat. Go back soon. You'll have tachycardia if you stay any longer."

"It doesn't matter. I think it can beat faster." Tan Yi put his forehead against Xie Qing's, "Although it's late, I still want to kiss you. What can I do?"

Xie Qing wanted to refuse, but her hands honestly trapped his waist, "I'll think about it."

"Okay, you think about it carefully, I'll kiss you slowly first." Tan Yi smiled and kissed her...
