Then Gu Zhenyuan washed his drinking water cup and poured a cup of hot water.
"Sister Yunshu, have some water." He placed the cup in front of Li Yunshu.
But he didn't want to pour two more cups. In fact, there was only one cup in his office, and it was what he usually used for drinking water.
"I'm not thirsty. Give it to Xiaoyu." Li Yunshu pushed the water cup in front of his daughter, thinking that she needed water more after eating cookies.
"Thank you, Mom, and thank you, Uncle Gu." Li Xiaoyu thanked with a smile.
She was feeling that the food was a bit dry.
"Sister Yunshu, you guys sit for a while. When the rest of the people come, I'll take you back." Gu Zhenyuan said.
Li Yunshu shook his head. "No need to go through so much trouble. We can just ride our bikes back."
There are two bicycles tied to the back of his car.
Gu Zhenyuan said: "It's too late now. It's not safe on the road. Let me take you there."
"It's settled, don't be polite to me."
"My mom always told me to take good care of you. If she knew I let you and the two kids ride your bikes back home so late at night, she'd definitely blame me."
Li Yunshu smiled and said, "Okay."
The remaining gangsters arrived at the Public Security Bureau half an hour later. During this time, Gu Zhenyuan had already taken statements from Li Xiaoyu and Qin Ye.
As soon as the hooligans walked into the door of the Public Security Bureau, the door was closed behind them.
Before they could react, several police officers on duty came with sticks and forced them to squat with their heads in their hands.
Although several of them were frequent visitors to the Public Security Bureau, this was the first time they had seen such a scene.
They were so frightened that they squatted down with their heads in their hands. Then they heard the "suicide" police say, "Cuff them all and throw them in the detention room first. I'll come back later and talk to them."
Only then did they realize that they had all been deceived by this police officer and had foolishly walked into his trap.
After the gangsters were caught, Gu Zhenyuan drove Li Yunshu and the two children home.
Li Yunshu sat in the passenger seat and the two children sat in the back.
Along the way, Li Yunshu and Gu Zhenyuan chatted casually and soon arrived home.
"Brother Zhenyuan, come in and I'll cook you a bowl of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles." After Li Yunshu got out of the car, he held the passenger door with his hand and said to Gu Zhenyuan inside the car.
"Today I made stir-fried preserved mustard greens and shredded pork with sauce. It was delicious with hand-rolled noodles."
Gu Zhenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother."
Li Yunshu: "What's the trouble? I was going to make it for Xiaoyu anyway."
"You told me not to be polite to you, so why are you still being polite to me?"
Li Xiaoyu also said, "Uncle Gu, just have some noodles and go. My mom makes delicious pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles."
She said she wanted to eat this pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles, and her mother just made it today.
Gu Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Then I will refuse it disrespectfully."
Gu Zhenyuan turned off the car and got out. Li Yunshu opened the door with the key, entered the store and went straight into the kitchen.
There was still fire in the stove and the sauce was warming in the pot. She changed the honeycomb coal balls and boiled water to cook noodles.
It didn't take long before four bowls of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles were ready.
The four of them sat together, eating hot pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodle soup in the middle of the night in early winter, warming their stomachs and hearts.
Gu Zhenyuan held the bowl and drank a bowl of soup. When he put the bowl down, he saw Sister Yunshu, Xiaoyu and Xiaoye, all eating noodles with their heads down. He suddenly felt that this scene was very warm, and he was a little greedy for the warmth at the moment.
Every time he came home late from overtime, his parents and the babysitter had already gone to bed. In order not to trouble the babysitter, he would cook some plain noodles or freeze dumplings in the refrigerator.
No one had ever eaten a bowl of steaming hot noodles with him on a cold winter night.
"Brother Zhenyuan, what are you looking at?" Li Yunshu looked up and asked him when he saw Gu Zhenyuan holding the bowl motionlessly.
"Uh..." Gu Zhenyuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yunshu asked, "Doesn't this noodle taste bad?"
Gu Zhenyuan quickly shook his head, "No, the noodles are delicious. I just suddenly thought of a case, and then I was absorbed in it."
Li Yunshu: "You are a very responsible police officer. You can be so absorbed in thinking about the case even while eating."
"Yes, you like spicy food, right?" He ate a lot of spicy crabs she made last time, so he must like it too.
Gu Zhen nodded and said, "I like it."
"Wait a minute, I'll get you some fresh chili oil. It's delicious with the noodles."
After saying that, Li Yunshu put down the bowl and went to the kitchen to get some homemade chili oil.
Li Yunshu took out a can of chili oil from the cupboard and a clean spoon.
She walked over to the table and sat down, twisting the cap of the bottle with her hand and said, "I'm telling you, this chili oil of mine, hey, why can't I open it?"
"I'll do it..."
"Let me do it."
Gu Zhenyuan and Qin Ye stretched out their hands at the same time, but Gu Zhenyuan stretched out his hand faster, and the jar was back in Gu Zhenyuan's hand.
Qin Ye glanced at him and took his hand back.
Gu Zhenyuan took the jar, pinched the bottle cap and twisted it hard, and the jar opened.
Gu Zhenyuan handed the opened jar to Li Yunshu, and she took it with a smile, "You men are really strong."
"Let me tell you, I make this chili oil by squeezing star anise, cinnamon, coriander, shallots, onions, ginger, and garlic."
"In addition to chili powder, I also put chopped peanuts, chopped walnuts, white sesame seeds, and Sichuan pepper powder in this chili."
"This chili oil is fragrant and spicy, very delicious. I'll give you half a spoonful first. It's a little spicy. You can add more if it's not enough." Li Yunshu scooped half a spoonful of chili oil for Gu Zhenyuan.
"Mom, I want it too." Li Xiaoyu said, holding the bowl. "I want more."
Li Yunshu scooped a spoonful for her and asked, "Xiao Ye, are you okay?"
"놚."
Li Yunshu scooped him half a spoonful, because he couldn't handle spicy food as well as Xiaoyu.
Then she gave herself a full spoonful as she also loved spicy food.
Gu Zhenyuan added chili oil to the noodles and mixed them again. He choked as soon as he took a sip.
But he still resisted the urge to cough, chewed the noodles in his mouth a few times, swallowed them, and then turned his back to cough.
"Cough cough cough..." Gu Zhenyuan's face turned red instantly after coughing.
"Here, drink some water. This is quite spicy. Be careful when you slurp it, or you'll choke easily."
Li Yunshu handed the water to Gu Zhenyuan and patted his back with his other hand.
Gu Zhenyuan took the water, drank two sips, and coughed for a while before stopping.
Not only was his face red from coughing, his eyes were also red, and there were physiological tears hanging on his eyelashes from coughing.
As soon as he blinked, tears fell and he wiped them away quickly with his hands.
He said with a hoarse voice, "This chili is indeed fragrant and quite overbearing."
