Chapter 62 Brother and Sister (Part 2) Big Brother, wait for me, wait for me, I...
The last time Yao Zhizhi came to the government compound was to find out why Director Hu was widowed.
At that time, she was with Yao Taotao and was unable to meet Director Hu in person. The two people from the countryside dared to inquire about the leader's private matters and were often looked down upon.
Now that she comes back, the people around her have replaced her sister and mother-in-law, and she still feels quite emotional.
Some feelings may have transcended blood ties and grudges. She knew that the relationship between her and Yao Taotao had become loose.
That day, when she squatted in front of the medicine stove and waved to Yao Taotao to come over, she gave Yao Taotao hope.
Now, Yao Taotao is no longer shy and comes to her directly for help when she has problems. She doesn't mind it, but just sighs. If it weren't for the things Yao Erdan and Wang Fang did, the two of them could have a good chat even if they were just distant cousins.
What a pity, there is no if in this world.
The loss she suffered from the eighteen years of dislocation was far more serious than the so-called estrangement between sisters.
If she grew up with her parents, at least she could study freely. Her father is an old revolutionary, so even if she wanted to go to college, it would not be difficult for her to apply and get recommended.
Fortunately, there will be opportunities in the future, and she will definitely seize them firmly so as not to leave herself with lifelong regrets.
The three of them quickly came out of the office compound, chatting as they walked.
Yao Miaomiao found it hilarious. "That Director Hu is so interesting. He was hesitant the whole time. It's just a broadcasting job. One moment he said he'd consider it, the next moment he said it was a bit difficult. Isn't it just that he wants money? He wants it, but he won't say it directly. Isn't this just hypocrisy? Look, these people are the ones who are actively trying to sugarcoat me. I feel so pitiful and innocent."
Yao Zhizhi also felt that this person would not last long, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, we are definitely not the only ones being troubled by him. I'll think of a way to see if I can mobilize the power of the masses."
"It's difficult." Tang Fengyuan still understood human nature. Ordinary people in peacetime would endure it if they could. If they really couldn't endure it, they would just complain a few words, or at worst find a few weaker people to vent their anger on.
As for provoking a more powerful force and seeking justice for oneself? Don't even think about it.
Men who beat their wives are basically this kind of losers.
Some even used the excuse that they were drunk and couldn't control themselves, but I never saw anyone hitting their leader while drunk.
Isn't it just pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth? Isn't it just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
What's more, the person you are challenging now is a director. The deterrent effect brought by this title alone is enough to scare people away.
Yao Zhizhi didn't think so. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If the situation becomes irreversible, the public's emotions will be like a volcano that can erupt at any time. It only takes someone to take the lead.
But the person who starts this has to think carefully.
She didn't want to drag her father and mother-in-law into this.
It would be best to find someone who has a grudge against Director Hu and cooperate with them for a win-win situation.
This requires Qi Changxiao's help.
Yao Zhizhi comforted him, "Don't worry. I'll discuss this with Changxiao when I get back. He and I have been hanging around the gate of the agency compound lately. He can see who has a grudge against Director Hu."
After all, this guy’s system has a powerful function - cause and effect matching.
By spending a certain amount of tokens, you can view the causal connection of a specified person. The other end of the connection is the person related to the event.
For example, didn’t Hu Jia have an affair?
Qi Changxiao can consume system tokens to find out who she is cheating with.
This function was not unlocked before and was only activated at the end of last year. It has only been used once and has helped Yang Shuming a lot.
Therefore, it is actually not that difficult to deal with Director Hu.
When she got home, the meal was ready. Yao Zhizhi really didn't want to be pretentious, but her third brother was really nice.
I couldn't help it, I ran over to help the third brother untie his apron, and quickly handed him a wet towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
Yao Weihua took the towel with a smile: "How about it, is there a job suitable for my second sister?"
"You have to give some tribute to show your filial piety." Yao Zhizhi took the towel that had been used to wipe the sweat and went to the well to wash it.
Yao Weihua was not surprised: "That Director Hu is not a good person at first glance. Don't worry, the opportunity will come sooner or later. But we must not send any gifts. If he falls in the future, we will inevitably be implicated as well."
"I know, brother. Bribery is not a small matter. We will not cross this red line." Yao Zhizhi came to the kitchen to serve food.
Yao Weihua knew his younger sister had a bottom line, but he still wanted to remind her, "Sometimes bribery isn't overt; it manifests itself in other ways. For example, Director Hu knows you can write articles. If he wants to promote a relative, he might ask you to write two articles, or he might ask the newspaper to block your manuscript. Will you write it or not?"
"Yeah, I haven't really considered such a situation. Then brother, what should I do if such a thing really happens?" After all, Yao Zhizhi is not as knowledgeable as the third brother. She never thought that there would be such an operation.
Yao Weihua thought for a moment and then reminded him, "That's easy. You can write the manuscript as it is, but you have to tinker with it a little bit. For example, you can add an acrostic poem to it to remind everyone that you wrote this manuscript under duress. If he falls from power in the future, this will be strong evidence to prove your innocence."
Yao Zhizhi was amazed. "Third brother, how are you so smart? It's a pity that you don't go to college. You should go to school. Anyway, our mother will be here when I give birth to this baby, and Changxiao will take care of me. You should go quickly. Uncle Chang has written to urge you several times. How can I bear it? I have such an outstanding brother, and he stays here all day to be my nanny. What kind of person have I become? Go, go, go next semester."
"No rush, let's talk about it after you are weaned." Yao Weihua still refused. He was willing to go to college, but Chang Dongqing asked him to go to the Agricultural College, which he was not very happy about. He originally applied for the Mechanical Department. He liked to tinker with some small inventions and didn't want to study a major he didn't like.
Yao Zhizhi was really helpless and could only sigh: "But brother, I feel bad."
Seeing his sister about to cry, Yao Weihua felt distressed and quickly comforted her, "Silly girl, I made the choice myself, you didn't force me to do it, so why should I feel bad? How about this, if you can stay here and work after giving birth, I'll listen to you and consider going to college."
"It's a deal!" Yao Zhizhi covered her eyes with her left hand and pretended to wipe away tears, then stretched out her right hand and made a pinky promise with him.
After pulling the hook, Yao Zhizhi took her hand away, stuck out her tongue, and slipped away before her third brother could react.
Yao Weihua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Well, he had been fooled again.
This guy!
Yang Shuming came while we were having dinner. He had taken the afternoon off and went to get the certificate after dinner.
She wore a new black coat specially and pinned a big red silk flower on her chest with a pin.
Although it is a second marriage, it should be treated formally.
Yao Miaomiao rolled her eyes when she saw him coming over: "What the hell, why are you wearing flowers? I'm not even wearing any."
"No, you have to wear it." Yang Shuming was prepared. He took out another silk flower he brought and bent down to help Yao Miaomiao pin it on.
Yao Miaomiao stared at the ends of his beautiful hair and couldn't help but touch it. "It seems that those with this kind of hair are very rebellious? Let me see, how rebellious you, Captain Yang, are. Ah, I get it. Being a brother and sister with the woman you love is awesome."
Yang Shuming is much thicker-skinned now. He has to be thick-skinned with a beautiful woman in his arms. What if she runs away?
So, even if Yao Miaomiao brought up the past, he would just smile and say, "I was wrong, my wife. I won't do it again."
"You have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, so I'll give you one point." Yao Miaomiao pinched his cheek. This guy's stubble grows so fast.
The secretion of male hormones is too strong, and he has a body full of tendons, which makes people feel safe when looking at him.
She came here to get married this time without bringing her children, so she could spend some time with him as a couple.
After dinner, the two left and returned to Yang Shuming's dormitory, closed the door, and cuddled together.
She didn't dare to do anything during her pregnancy, so Yang Shuming held her hand and said passionately: "Help me, please. I will help you later."
"No, you can't help me. It's dangerous. It's okay. I can bear it." Yao Miaomiao smiled and pushed away his prickly head. Isn't it like this for all pregnant women? Abstinence is the safest.
Afterwards, she discussed with Yang Shuming: "Is one enough?"
"I'll listen to you." Yang Shuming felt that it was enough, but he wanted to respect Yao Miaomiao's own ideas more.
Yao Miaomiao hadn't made up her mind yet, fearing that he might have the mindset of needing a son to carry on the family line, so she simply asked, "Would you like a son?"
"Don't I have a son?" Yang Shuming's answer was perfect.
Yao Miaomiao smiled: "Yes, I was confused. Let's talk about it after the birth. It depends on my mood then."
If this baby is a son, she wants to have another daughter so that she and her sister's daughter can be a pair of happy little sisters.
Yang Shuming had no objection, but he couldn't do it. Although he used his hands, it was still uncomfortable, so he hugged his beloved woman, touching her here and nibbling her there.
In short, just keep it in moderation.

Yao Zhizhi found a workbook, picked up a ballpoint pen, and seriously listed all the system functions of herself and Qi Changxiao, and made a comparison.
Then you can use it in a targeted way in the future and make your life more fulfilling.
In short, their two systems can work together to help the police solve cases while enjoying the fun.
Yao Zhizhi's current melon-eating level is level 12. When she reaches level 15, she will unlock a function that provides a summary of the melon-eating plot. This function will save her a lot of trouble and provide more effective information than keywords.
When you reach level 20, you can also unlock a live broadcast function of watching melons. Then you can sit at home and watch the latest news, and write news without leaving home.
As for level 25, wow, that’s awesome. You can unlock the thoughts of the people you’re watching and get all the information about them without any blind spots.
There is no upper limit on the level, and subsequent functions are waiting to be developed, at which time the system will be iterated.
Goodies in the store are also unlocked as you level up.
It is divided into several categories: snacks, side dishes, staple foods, daily necessities, home appliances, shoes, hats, bags, clothing for boys, girls and children, and future high-tech.
Currently, all the previous categories have been unlocked, and only one future high-tech category is still locked, which can only be unlocked at level 20.
In the category of household appliances, many appliances are products that will be released decades later and have not yet been unlocked. Currently, only products that are currently available or five years from now have been unlocked.
In short, her level is not high enough, so take it slow.
As for Qi Changxiao's system, it's quite interesting.
Currently, his level is 3, and the functions that have been unlocked include merit value, fortune value, and cause and effect matching.
Just by catching a rapist and murderer, I was given a lot of experience points, which shows how much that murderer deserves to die.
After level 5, a cause-and-effect tracing function will be unlocked. If the connect-the-dots game points out the other party related to the cause and effect, then tracing the source directly prompts the specific cause and effect.
However, the level 5 one is just elementary tracing, which will only prompt a few key words.
The levels after 10 are intermediate, which will give a brief outline; the levels after 15 are advanced, which will directly give the cause and effect details, but cannot help locate the suspect; the level 20 is the ultimate version, which can even mark the location of the criminal on the map, making it a little assistant in solving the case.
However, these functions are not free and require the consumption of system tokens.
System tokens are obtained by catching criminals and doing daily tasks.
As for daily life... Yao Zhizhi's face turned red. What? To please his wife?
Isn't this something you can do casually? How can this be considered a daily routine?
When asked about the details of daily life, his face became even more red.
I won’t watch it anymore, hum.
Yao Zhizhi closed the workbook, hooked her arm around the man's neck, and asked an important question: "Are you pleasing me to do your daily routine, or—"
"Is there even a need to ask?" Qi Changxiao held her in his arms, his eyelashes drooping, his voice filled with a charming hoarseness. "Of course it's instinct. I didn't know my wife would ask such a silly question. I'm so happy."
"..." Yao Zhizhi couldn't stand his vixen-like behavior and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. "What do you want to do? Seduce me? Sorry, I can't favor you right now."
"Just let me hold you for a while." Qi Changxiao didn't dare to do anything rash so as not to hurt the baby. As for the evil fire in his lower abdomen, it didn't matter. He could just endure it and it would go away. Didn't his wife have to endure it too?
He couldn't get pregnant for her, but he could still endure it with her.
The two of them hugged each other and took a nap. When Yao Zhizhi woke up, the man was gone.
After going out to ask, Yao Weihua said with a smile: "Little Xingxing saw some kids in the alley and wanted to go out and play. My brother-in-law took him out to have some fun. He will be back soon."
"Where's my second sister?" Yao Zhizhi was still thinking about accompanying her sister to get the marriage certificate.
Yao Weihua looked at his watch: "There's still time."
Soon, Qi Changxiao returned with the children, and the whole family gathered at Yang Shuming's dormitory to accompany them to get their marriage certificate.
When I returned to the entrance of the alley, I found an acquaintance.
Yao Zhizhi frowned and walked forward: "Uncle Jingye, what's the matter?"
Yao Jingye sighed, "Zhizhi, I'm afraid the old man really can't make it this time. I came to inform you, do you think you should ask your parents to come back?"
Yao Zhizhi quickly let him into the house and asked, "What's the illness? Is it serious?"
"What else could it be? He's old. At this age, he can be considered to have died of old age. He has been fed liquid food for more than a month, but he just can't get it in these few days." Yao Jingye guessed it when he saw Yang Shuming beside Yao Miaomiao.
Both of them had big red flowers on their chests, what a pity.
There was no hope for his wife's nephew, but fortunately Yao Jingzong agreed to help introduce another candidate, which was considered to be giving him face.
Yao Zhizhi quickly called Northeast China: "Mom, tell my dad that the old man is dying. Ask him if he wants to come back for the funeral."
"Xingzhi knows. I'll call his army." Xie Chunxing quickly hung up the phone and called Yao Jingzong.
I quickly called Yao Zhizhi back and said, "Your father is busy, so let me and your eldest brother go back. This is also possible. The four of you will be there by then, so it will be difficult for others to find fault."
Yao Zhizhi also knew that it was difficult for her father to ask for leave, so she replied, "Okay, I understand, Mom. Do you want to talk to me about Big Brother's situation, or should I?"
"Let me do it. Your long-distance call is very expensive." Xie Chunxing hung up the phone and went to her eldest son in person.
Yao Zhizhi returned to the courtyard and said something to Yao Jingye.
Yao Jingye sighed: "Your father won't come back... Well, there's nothing I can do. Okay, I still have to inform the other families. I'm leaving."
"Whose family else is it?" Yao Zhizhi was confused. Aren't all the Yao family members living near Yaowangzhuang?
Yao Jingye was in a dilemma and hesitated for a long time before speaking. "The old man had a younger sister. She was transferred to Yicheng with her grandson and his wife a few years ago. She is almost ninety this year. Her son, daughter-in-law, grandson and his wife are all dead, and only one great-grandson is still alive. Because her grandson and his wife died, it was a bit embarrassing. I didn't want to get into trouble, so I didn't contact them in the past few years. When you asked me about the Yao family relatives, I didn't tell you. In fact, I haven't decided whether to notify them. Logically, I should have informed them."
"Who is it? Is it so difficult?" Yao Zhizhi was confused.
Yao Jingye refused to say: "You'd better not ask. I'll tell you when his parents are vindicated."
"Then do you still need to notify them?" Yao Zhizhi was speechless, and she felt really uncomfortable when she was halfway through her words.
Yao Jingye pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, don't implicate the whole family. I'm leaving. If you are not busy, go back and see the old man for the last time."
Yao Zhizhi nodded and quickly packed some clothes to take with her.

In the slum, Lu Henian was carrying a coal stove and lighting a fire at the door.
An old voice came from behind: "Nian Nian, Nian Nian."
Lu Henian put down the fire tongs, placed the coal briquettes on the fire, and hurried in: "Grandma, what's going on?"
The very old woman struggled to sit up. Her teeth had all fallen out and her cheeks were sunken. When she spoke, she seemed to have a last burst of energy and was much more energetic than usual.
She cried and muttered, "Niannian, I dreamed that my brother was dying. Please take me back to see him."
Lu Henian didn't answer, but carefully helped her sit down and handed her a cushion.
"Niannian, don't you want to? Grandma doesn't have much time left to live. Before she dies, she wants to see your great uncle again. Please take me with you."
"Grandma, you can't go. They will be implicated." Lu Henian resolutely rejected Grandma's request.
The old lady is getting confused due to aging. If she were sober, she would never dare to create risks for her relatives.
Lu Henian had no choice but to remind him patiently.
The old man refused and kept crying, "I only have this one brother. Please take me there, Nian Nian, so that I can see him for the last time."
Lu Henian turned his head away, pretending that he was deaf.
The old man shouted for a long time but got no response, so he could only shed tears silently.
Lu Henian returned to the door, brought back the lit coal stove, and boiled medicine for his grandmother.
In late spring, the rain becomes more and more random. It was fine just now, but now it suddenly starts to drizzle.
The plum rain season is about to begin.
Lu Henian moved the stove under the asbestos shed to prevent it from getting wet.
Just as he was about to cook the medicine, the old man behind him screamed, "Brother, brother, wait for me, wait for me, I will go with you on the road, let's go together."
Lu Henian turned around suddenly, but saw that his grandmother had tilted her head to the side and was motionless.
I quickly rushed over and sniffed the air.
Closing his eyes, Lu Henian knelt dejectedly in front of the recliner, held the old man's hand, and silently swallowed the tears of humiliation.
"I'm sorry, grandma. Once I find the evidence and arrest Hu, I'll go to your grave and tell you. I'm sorry..."
Outside the door, Yao Jingye was hesitant and still did not come in. When he heard the crying sound inside, he realized that his aunt had passed away.
Forget it, since he's dead, then...
Wait, what did he scream before he died?
Could it be that the old man has passed away too?
Yao Jingye was startled and hurried back.
When I got home and asked, I found out that the brother and sister, who hadn't seen each other for five years, died on the same day and at the same time, dozens of miles apart.
