Director Zhou's wife asked them to sit down, then cooked some side dishes and invited them to stay for dinner.
Director Zhou finally came to his senses and said, "Buy some fish to make pickled fish and braised pork...make more."
Several of the dishes mentioned were not liked by the Zhou family, but by Qin Hongfei.
Qin Yan remembered very clearly that at the Tang family, the Tang family’s chef would make pickled fish every time Qin Hongfei came, and he would add extra quantity.
"Did something happen?" Director Zhou asked nervously in a low voice after his wife left. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but realized that if he let the child inhale secondhand smoke, he would be sprayed to death, so he held it in.
"Yes, there is something." Qin Yan thought to himself. The street director was quite perceptive and comforted him: "But it's not a big deal."
"…………" Director Zhou was worried. "I feel more relieved if you say it's a big deal. If you say it's not a big deal..."
"When your father left, he said it was not a big deal."
"Your father is gone and your mother owes millions in loan sharks, but that's not a big deal."
"It's not a big deal when you burn down your house..."
...
...
The more Director Zhou spoke, the more he wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves. In short, as for the Qin family's eldest branch, if they say it's a small matter, you can ignore it, but if they say it's not a big deal, then it must be a big deal. He thought of the more than 20 people who had been arrested from here before, and after a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but say, "Could that Bai Qishi be coming..." He watched a lot of news and kept up with current affairs.
Suddenly, everyone in the room looked at him in surprise.
Qin Yan was surprised.
Sun Shu was also surprised.
Boy, that's sharp.
It's quite a waste of talent to be a street director.
But Qin Yan didn't plan to tell him the truth. Being sharp and smart doesn't mean he can keep things stable and do good things. He said calmly, "You think too much. He won't come. If he comes, can I come back?"
Director Zhou touched his heart and said, "It's hard to say. With your kid's bad temper, maybe he knew he was coming but he might not come to lure him here."
After being exposed, Qin Yan thought to himself, look at what that brat Qin Hongfei did, what a big shadow she left on others. "I really won't come. I just came back to guard... No, take care of my uncle."
Director Zhou looked at him strangely for a while, then squeezed out the words, "Okay, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask anymore, but if anything happens, remember to let them know. There are many residents on Qinhuai Street, and they are all ordinary people. If there is a fight, I can notify them in advance so that they can hide in their houses and watch the fun instead of coming out to watch."
Qin Yan agreed, "I will."
Director Zhou felt relieved. His wife had prepared the meal and called them to eat. "Xiao Qin, Xiao Yu, come here quickly..."
Director Zhou turned around to greet him, but saw that the person had already stood up. Then he looked up and saw from a bottom-up angle that Qin Yan was a head taller than him. He was immediately confused. He was taller than his own son?
Qin Yan felt something and looked down at Director Zhou, who was a head shorter than him, and took the initiative to explain, "I've been pumping faster recently. Oh, and I'm wearing insoles to increase my height."
Director Zhou wiped his face and nodded, "Yes, it's quite fast. The last time we met, you were about the same height as me, but now you are a head taller than me. You are just like your aunt who likes to force the growth of onions in the yard."
He thought: You are telling lies with your eyes open, so I will just believe your lies with my eyes open.
After finishing the meal at Zhou's house, Sun Shu left after taking a stroll. He remembered that he was born here and suggested, "Do you want to go back to Lao Qin's house? The place where you were born..."
Qin Yan paused, the place where he was born——
He was indeed here two years ago. He looked in the direction of Lao Qin's house and said, "There is a long way to go. Let's go to the police station first."
Sun Shu thought so too, there was plenty of time left after fishing.
The two of them went to the police station instead, and Qin Yan asked Yu Chong to go back.
Yu Chong felt that the Qin family had moved away now and she was left alone, so he had the obligation to protect her: "I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll go with you, in case you need my help. If you're afraid that I'll know something, I'll stay at the door and not go in." He was very knowledgeable and understanding.
Qin Yan said, "I'm not afraid that you know something, I'm afraid that knowing too much will be bad for your family."
Yu Chong: "I understand."
As soon as the Zhou family sent the person away, Director Zhou told his wife to buy more vegetables and meat and keep them at home, and to go out less as it was unsafe.
The wife was very confused, "What? Is there any market?"
Director Zhou said, "It's hard to say, but I think there is... Anyway, the Qin family is watching them like a weather vane. Once they come back, it's right to be on guard."
His wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "What nonsense! If there is, then there is no, and if there is no, then there is no. You even estimate it. Do you think you are a fortune teller?"
Director Zhou was smoking silently with an unfathomable expression on his face, as if he didn't care about women. He was thinking about Qin Hongfei - bah, what Qin Hongfei? That was just a fake Qin Hongfei, and he didn't know who was pretending to be her. But he had a suspect, but he was not sure.
Concubine Qin? Not really. This fool can’t act out that kind of shrewdness.
Xiaoyan? Could it be that child?
Not clear.
But at least Qin Hongfei couldn't be sure of that. Whose daughter could grow from 1.7 meters to 1.88 meters in just one year? She would be taller than his son. She was taking me as a fool.
He was not stupid. He just watched the kid from the Yu family acting so hard. It was quite realistic. Although he didn't know what was going on, he just played a fool along.
Alas, alas!
…
…
Qin Yan didn't know about Director Zhou's situation. They ran into a wall at the police station. No one expected that. Sun Shu's people showed their identities and asked for help. Small places usually live and work in peace. At most, they catch car thieves or pickpockets. Most of the time, they deal with family matters. Your water is splashed in front of my house, my eggs are missing, it must be stolen by the neighbor, your pesticide sprayed on my pesticide field - who would have thought that such a big case would fall from the sky? I haven't received any news from above.
So the attitude was much more perfunctory than I had expected, and I hit a wall that was neither soft nor hard.
This kind of situation would never happen in a big city.
Sun Shu also didn't expect that people in small places would be in such a state when doing things. They are completely unreliable. How can they be expected to serve the people in this way?
Qin Yan suppressed his gaze, then held Sun Shu's shoulder, turned around and found Yu Chong, who was waiting outside with a cigarette between his fingers, and patted Yu Chong on the shoulder.
Yu Chong immediately threw away the cigarette and said, "You came out so quickly, did you run into a snag?"
Sun Shudao said, "You also know this?"
Yu Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can guess..." He said to Qin Yan calmly, "Although I don't know what you do, you grew up in a big city. As for you, sister Hongfei, you have never been exposed to this since you were a child, so you probably don't understand it. In a small place, connections may be more useful than power."
