Wang Dabao didn't go back to the courtyard house, even though he wanted to, Xiao Su wouldn't allow it.
The two slept in Xiao Su's room that night. This wasn't a large compound, so there weren't many neighbors gossiping. Even if Xiao Zhenguo and his wife were there, they wouldn't say a word.
Xiao Su's parents were both enlightened people; otherwise, they wouldn't have only had Xiao Su as their child.
Besides, Wang Dabao is a trustworthy person. His daughter is pregnant with his child, so what's wrong with them sleeping together?
The two kids are always inseparable. This time, Wang Dabao has been away on a business trip for so long, his daughter must be missing him terribly. Parents have been through it all, they've all been young, so they understand each other.
However, things are different now. After all, Xiao Su is pregnant, and the first and last three months are the most crucial time. Xiao's mother secretly pulled Xiao Su away and gave her a few words of advice.
This made Xiao Su blush deeply. She herself knew about this matter, but she didn't expect her mother to worry about it first.
After taking a long nap in the afternoon, and being unable to move around in the evening, Wang Dabao tossed and turned until almost midnight before finally falling asleep.
The next day, Wang Dabao was granted a day off by the factory because he had just returned from a business trip. After dropping Xiao Su off at the factory gate, he stayed at the gate guard's office for a while.
The team members in the duty room were overjoyed to see Wang Dabao arrive.
Feng Biao's propaganda work was quite effective; at least the entire security department now knows about the major incident in which their department head shot and killed five enemy agents with six shots.
According to Feng Biao's description, Wang Dabao could leap across walls and rooftops, flying seven or eight meters in a single bound. Only after the enemy had not yet revealed his position did he waste a bullet to hit the enemy's ankle.
This is the real reason why six shots were fired.
Otherwise, five shots would already be giving the other side face; in a real confrontation, at most four shots would be enough.
Everyone who heard Feng Biao's words nodded in agreement. It was the truth; there was absolutely no need for five shots. They had confidence in Section Chief Wang's abilities.
As soon as Wang Dabao entered, seats were arranged and tea was prepared. The admiration in the eyes of the team members was almost overflowing.
When Zheng Jun heard that Wang Dabao had arrived, he immediately ran back.
As soon as he entered the duty room, he rushed up to Wang Dabao with a pained expression. "Section Chief, you shouldn't have taken that fat guy Feng Biao with you. He was just causing trouble. I heard from Tian Gao that Feng Biao didn't fire a single shot, but he ended up getting injured himself."
"If I go, I might be able to help ease the situation for you. Can you take me with you next time you go on a mission?!"
Zheng Jun, with a smirk on his face, finished teasing Feng Biao and then revealed his thoughts.
"Okay, you can go next time. Feng Biao will watch the house. By the way, did Section Chief Hu come today?" Wang Dabao tossed half a pack of cigarettes to the group.
Zheng Jun lit a cigarette for Wang Dabao first: "He hasn't arrived yet, probably this afternoon."
Wang Dabao nodded. He and Feng Biao were off today. If Section Chief Hu wasn't there, then it would be Zheng Jun who was in charge.
"Okay, if there's anything urgent, let me know at the courtyard. You guys go ahead with your work, I'll head back now."
Amidst the disappointed farewells of the group, Wang Dabao pedaled his bicycle toward the compound. He didn't have the energy of Feng Biao to recount the gunfight to these people; that would just be bragging about himself.
Back at the courtyard house, Wang Dabao checked his watch. It wasn't even nine o'clock yet, and Yan Bugui was home.
"Hey Lao Yan, do you not want this job anymore? It's not Sunday, what time is it and you're still not at work?" Wang Dabao pushed his bicycle into the front yard. Yan Bugui had nothing else to do, so he was looking at his potted plants.
Yan Bugui had his back turned, but when he heard Wang Dabao's shout, he shuddered.
"Oh my God, Da Bao, where have you been all this time? Let's not make things up, Lao Yan really missed you." Yan Bugui put down the kettle in his hand and rushed over to Wang Da Bao's side to look him up and down.
Wang Dabao turned his head to look at Yan Bugui's actions: "What, do you think I'd be missing an arm or a leg?"
"No, no."
Yan Bugui chuckled and waved his hand, "It hasn't been that long since we last met. I've been thinking about you and wanted to see if you're any different from before."
As he spoke, Yan Bugui took out two cigarettes and handed one to Wang Dabao. "I still have two good cigarettes here. The school leaders gave them to me yesterday, but I didn't even have the heart to smoke them. I'm so happy you're back today, let's smoke them together."
Wang Dabao was distracted for a moment and saw Yan Bugui flick his wrist, and two cigarettes appeared in his hand. He didn't even see which pocket the cigarettes came from.
The cigarettes were indeed good, but only to Yan Bugui.
Judging by how wrinkled it was, it had been tucked into his person for at least a day.
The fact that Yan Bugui could keep this cigarette on him for a whole day shows how precious it was.
Wang Dabao parked his bicycle, moved a brick under his butt, and said, "Old Yan, I really can't tell you where I went. The factory has confidentiality regulations, you have to understand. Telling you would be harming you."
"I understand, I understand. Da Bao, the things you're in are things that ordinary people like us can't possibly know."
Yan Bugui's eyes sharpened, and he nodded seriously, "I knew you were on some important mission. I was just worried about you and afraid you would get hurt."
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
Yan Bugui took off his glasses and wiped his eyes, revealing his concern for Wang Dabao.
Wang Dabao was taken aback. "Oh my, you old Yan, you're putting on an act with me here, aren't you?"
"Old Yan, you've been doing well in the yard these past few days while I was away, haven't you?" Wang Dabao was most concerned about missing out on the commotion in the yard. Even if you're someone who doesn't pay attention to what's going on outside, living in this yard will still make you a gossip.
Moreover, Wang Dabao quite enjoys watching the drama involving Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, and others. It would be even better if he could get some gossip about Yan Bugui.
It's a pity that Yan Bugui still seems to be in the mood to fuss over flowers; he must be living a pretty good life without any worries.
"Oh my, Da Bao, you've been gone for almost a month, and a few big things have really happened in our hospital."
Even if Wang Dabao hadn't asked, Yan Bugui would have spoken up anyway; otherwise, why would he have taken out a cigarette? He was just planning to have a serious talk with Wang Dabao.
Wang Dabao was stunned. Good heavens, something really happened, and it was a big deal, and there were several of them. He missed out on this juicy gossip!
He didn't rush him, knowing that Yan Bugui was the kind of person who didn't need to be urged; as long as you were patient, he would pour everything out to you one by one.
"The first major event was the Jia family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Qin Huairu became famous overnight and took power in the Jia family. Her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, will now retire to the second line."
Yan Bugui's tone was so varied and melodious that anyone who didn't know better would think he was proud of Qin Huairu.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dabao exclaimed, "Wow, it seems Qin Huairu is about to turn evil!"
"Old Yan, explain in detail..."
