When the mother and son returned home, they found that Commander Gao, who should have been in his office, was still at home, even leisurely watching TV.
"Wow, Daddy, you skipped work?" the little guy exclaimed dramatically, only to be smacked on the forehead in return.
"Who told you I skipped work? Huh?"
Feeling her father's questioning gaze, the little one pouted and whispered, "It's obvious that I skipped work, humph, and I still won't admit it."
Tuanzi was unhappy, so she ran to Ye Wanying, who was still changing her shoes, and complained, "Mommy, Daddy lied."
"Oh? Why did Dad lie?"
“If Dad doesn’t admit to skipping work, he’s lying,” the little man said righteously.
Ye Wanying curled her lips: "Then didn't you ask why he didn't admit it? What if there's a reason behind it? You'll just say that Dad lied, wouldn't that be bad?"
The little boy frowned slightly, thinking about what his mother had said, and it seemed to make some sense.
Then, he returned to the sofa and asked, "Dad, didn't you skip work?"
Commander Gao grabbed the little man in front of him and sat him on his lap: "Did I say that?"
The little man shook his head: "No."
"That's right."
"Hmm, yes, Dad. What are you doing at home?"
"Where are you on vacation if you're not at home?"
The little guy understands what a vacation means, just like how older boys get weekends off when they're in school. But his own father, it's 365 days a year; he can only take a vacation when he's not busy. As for weekends?
There isn't one in name only!
"By the way, where did you guys go today?"
Listening to Commander Gao's words, the little guy immediately rattled off his story about going to Tie Dan's house, but after a long time, he still didn't get to the point.
Commander Gao could only look at his young wife beside him.
"Didn't you say that Brother Da Song is a very good carpenter?" she said, sitting down on the sofa next to her and loosening her hair.
"Did you talk to him about it?"
"Yes, as I said, there's also the work of adding a third floor, which has also been handed over to Brother Dasong. It seems that they have now formed a team that specializes in contracting this kind of work. However, Brother Dasong told us to buy the materials ourselves; they only provide the labor."
Gao Dan immediately understood what Da Song meant and couldn't help but laugh: "He's still the same as always." He's a straightforward person to his family and friends and would never cheat them.
As for outsiders, they can be quite cunning...
"I remember that Lao Zhao's friend is in the building materials business. We can ask Lao Zhao to help us make connections in this area."
"Instructor Zhao?"
"Um."
Ye Wanying naturally had no objections. She knew Zhao the instructor's character very well, and since she could become friends with him, there couldn't be much of a problem with his character.
I tend to trust acquaintances more in these matters, since I don't understand them myself, and if I ask outsiders, I'll obviously get ripped off.
"Let's invite Lao Zhao over for dinner tonight."
"Okay, let's also invite Political Commissar Wen. He missed Tuanzi's birthday last time."
...........
Around 5 or 6 p.m., Instructor Zhao was getting ready to leave work and was packing his things when a soldier knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Instructor, the regimental commander wants you to go to their house, right now."
Why the rush? Could something have happened again?
"Okay, I understand."
After the guards left, they turned a corner and arrived at the political commissar's office, where they said the same thing.
Naturally, the two bumped into each other as they went downstairs: "Going to the regimental commander's house?" they asked in unison.
