It was dinner time, and the Dai family was on their way to the cafeteria. Suddenly, more and more people gathered outside, each looking nervously at the door. Whether with malicious intent or good intentions, they were all waiting for the person who had gone in to come out and respond.
Gradually, time passed. After waiting for more than an hour, the people who went in came back one after another while waiting anxiously.
Everyone's eyes were focused on a few people. Seeing that they all had empty hands and the dejected looks on the faces of the Red Guards, they could no longer stop themselves and started talking.
Zhang Guoqing was the quickest to react. He immediately nudged Zhang Hongwei, who was about to ask, and the two of them walked up to Mr. Dai and said, "Old man, we're sorry that you, an old man, have been wronged. Hongwei and the others are also doing their duty. Please don't be offended."
It's good to get to the bottom of this. As for you, have you done anything that makes your children feel partial? Talk to them about it later."
As he spoke, he winked at Zhang Hongwei and said, "Hongwei, you don't know that we soldiers are so busy that we don't even have time to eat. How can we have time to communicate with the younger generation..."
Over there, the Dai family girl stared blankly at the hands of the people who came out. After a moment, she immediately woke up and shouted uncontrollably, "Impossible! How is it possible? I saw it with my own eyes. It was still in the study today. Didn't you check it carefully? Oh, right, have you searched the damn old man's bedroom?"
As soon as the voice rang out, a young Red Army soldier leaned over to Zhang Hongwei's ear and said, "Boss, we even checked the toilet, and there really isn't any anti-* literature there. But there are quite a lot of newspapers and military magazines. We also found a lot of medals..."
Zhang Guoqing was interrupted by this and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Zhang Hongwei was also a man of character. Without waiting for his subordinate to finish, he immediately pushed him aside and said to Dai Lao with a smile, "Old man, I'm sorry. As my fifth brother said, we are also responsible. Please don't be offended."
What else could Mr. Dai say? He waved his hands dejectedly, "Alas, it's not your fault. It's all our family's misfortune. I've made a fool of myself today."
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at Zhang Hongwei speechlessly.
This damn kid is getting more and more shameless. Fortunately, the sound was low, otherwise Zhang Guoqing would have become an accomplice of these lawless people.
"Oh right, the bedroom. It must be in the bedroom. I'll find it for you."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at the out-of-control girl, and looked at his wife, the "good person", with a headache as she followed the girl into the house. What the hell was going on?
"Fifth brother, I'm leaving first."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
"No, no thanks."
Zhang Guoqing whispered, "Hurry up and leave. We'll have some trouble when the patrol arrives."
Zhang Hongwei gave him a grateful look and immediately left with his men. It would have been fine if they had found the other party guilty, but this time there had been a misunderstanding. If the old man from the Dai family kept arresting them, even if he could eventually leave safely, who knew if he would retaliate privately?
Alas, fortunately, there is a buddy like Zhang Guoqing who is very righteous, otherwise this compound would not be so easy to enter. If it weren't for the damn old man's damn girl to bring them in, he wouldn't even be able to get close to the gate.
"Xiaowu, thank you."
Zhang Guoqing heard Dai Lao's thanks and quickly denied it softly. There was a madman in the Dai family. "No, old man, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't do anything.
I just happened to meet an acquaintance and chatted for a while. You know me, I like to join in the fun. You are being wronged. If it is true, I have no ability to help you.
Is it true? How could Mr. Dai not know? Although he didn't understand why some things disappeared, he couldn't do without the help provided by Zhang Guoqing and his wife.
The old man looked at him and smiled, "Okay, I know what I'm doing."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and left him to find his wife.
What is there to be thanked or not thanked for?
With both the right timing and the right location, if a different leader had come, Zhang Guoqing might not have made the move. Ultimately, he was afraid of getting himself into trouble; this time, it was just a coincidence.
It's not easy for everyone these days, so just help as much as you can, and consider it as accumulating merit for your family. He doesn't expect any gratitude.
——When it comes to conflicts of interest, no gratitude can overcome people’s selfishness.
"Jiaojiao, we should go. Our son is still at home."
Zhou Jiao had just put away three books. She nodded when she heard this, glanced at the girl huddled in the corner, and went out with him. Next, it was time for the Dai family to clean up the house.
"Do you know why? I heard that the little girl from the Dai family doesn't want to join the troops."
"You just found out. This girl was crying and making a fuss at home a few days ago. What a sin!"
"Okay, stop talking and go back to take care of your own children."
"If it were my child? Humph, I would have beaten him to death long ago."
"What do you know? This is a long story..."
"You'd better stop talking. It's just that she feels uncomfortable seeing her older sister working as a nurse in the hospital while she herself has to go to the countryside."
"Sister-in-law, you know everything. Tell us quickly."
“…”
As groups of people emerged, Zhou Jiao unsurprisingly overheard some inside stories that seemed both true and false. She felt a little puzzled. It was already lunchtime, so why hadn't Mr. Dai's sons and daughters shown up yet? However, she quickly dismissed the idea. Even a judge couldn't judge family affairs, let alone an outsider like herself.
When he was almost at the door, Zhang Guoqing looked around and saw that no one was around. He asked quietly, "Where did you put the things?"
"It's stuck on the back of the study door."
Zhang Guoqing couldn't help laughing. He guessed that Old Man Dai would faint soon. As expected, the most dangerous place is the safest place. It's darkest under the lamp.
"You can only do this once. If you do it too many times, you'll be exposed. Don't do it next time."
Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him. Did he think she was willing to help?
"Look, you've misunderstood, haven't you?" Zhang Guoqing looked around cautiously. "San Gouzi is a very loyal man. I know he'll give me face."
"Do you have special abilities that allow you to see through people's minds?" Zhou Jiao retorted, then thought to herself and laughed, "You've managed to please both sides."
"Hehe, the Dai family is lucky. If you weren't by my side today, I wouldn't have taken action. A moment earlier or later, you wouldn't have been able to save me. What kind of book did old man Dai hide? It can't be a pornographic book, right?"
Zhou Jiao was startled when she heard this. "I was in such a hurry that I didn't really get a good look. The covers of the three books are all hardcover red books. The paper inside is not very thick, and there are only a few pages. I guess they are ancient books."
"This old man is really careless. He actually dares to put these things out in the open. He is not careful enough without his partner."
"What does this have to do with whether I have a partner or not? Okay, let's forget about this. I'm almost starving to death. Let's go quickly. My sons must be waiting anxiously."
Zhang Guoqing pulled her away quickly, not forgetting to praise his son, "Our children are really well-behaved. Look, it's so lively outside, but I didn't see them go over to join in the fun."
"Yeah, that's why you're such an incompetent father. You want to go see wherever there's activity going on."
"I'm actually speechless."
