Chapter 90 Chapter 90 With all these things happening one after another, Hong Guo probably...
This cup of tea was what Yu Shan deserved. He was surrounded by people, but his chair was not high enough. Everyone felt that it was not worthy of his contribution, so they simply lifted it up for him and made him sit on the table.
He was not used to the feeling of being superior. He thought these people would cheat him, but he didn't expect that they didn't feel ashamed and gave him extra recognition. He felt quite embarrassed.
Yu Shan was recognized. Looking at the faces that were extremely excited because of solving the case, he suddenly wanted to calm down.
We have all been caught in the rain together, run across crime scenes together, and caught the same bad guy together. How can we pour tea for our own people?
Everyone started to make a noise, holding him back from coming down: "What are you doing? Haven't you had your tea yet?"
Yu Shan was even more embarrassed: "Actually, if you didn't pour tea, I definitely wouldn't want to. Now that I know your true intentions, let it go."
Director Guan had already brought the brewed tea over and said with a smile, "You want me to be a man who doesn't keep his word? How can that be possible? After drinking this cup of tea, we are all brothers. Let's have dinner together tonight. Don't leave."
Yu Shan struggled with these people for only two or three days. He went from disliking them, to not understanding them, to being able to hang out with them and have meals together. It was like a dream.
There is a place in Yushan's heart that is filled up, and this feeling of fulfillment is very comfortable.
But he should go home today. Yu Shan held his teacup and looked at Gu Changzong and Jiang Hongguo hesitantly, hoping they could give him some advice.
Gu Changzong didn't bother to care and just wanted to go back with Hongguo.
Hongguo was very happy for Yushan. Through his actions, he had made friends who recognized him.
Hong Guo encouraged him: "You seem to be hesitating, but you have already made up your mind. If you want to go, then stay here and go back after dinner."
Jiang Hongguo made the decision for Yushan, and he felt relieved all of a sudden. He had a canteen lunch at noon, and Director Guan gave him his lunch box. To be honest, the canteen lunch was no better than the meals at home. Lao Zheng's cooking skills had improved, Gu Changzong's cooking was better than that in the restaurant, and Jiang Hongguo made the best pastries.
But Yu Shan felt that the lunch box today was good. After all, it was earned by his own ability.
He also watched the interrogation. It turned out that it was not enough to just catch the murderer. The middle-aged man had been resisting and kept silent. The old man kept saying that he had killed the person and even described the details clearly. But Yu Shan was sure that the real murderer was the old man's son. If it were him, he would have crushed the two bastards to death together. But Director Guan and the others had to find solid evidence to convict them. He admired them in his heart.
…
Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong came back first. Old Zheng held Diandian's hand and waited at the door for a long time. Finally, they saw her. Old Zheng scolded, "You should have come back in the morning. Why did you wait until now? Diandian was so worried that she wanted to go find you. I was afraid that we might have lost each other on the way. Is everything okay?"
Gu Changzong bent down to hug Diandian, but Lao Zheng quickly pulled Diandian away: "Don't hug a child before you take a bath and get rid of the bad luck."
Gu Changzong looked at Lao Zheng in confusion: "Why are you superstitious too?"
Lao Zheng didn't think so: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Follow these customs and you'll feel more at ease."
Hong Guo wanted to get rid of bad luck, so she waited at the door and said, "Yu Shan made a bet. I thought today was the third day, so I wanted to wait for the result. This morning, they really caught the murderer. I heard that the murderer was a father and son from the crematorium. It was so thrilling when they caught them. Director Guan really offered tea to Yu Shan and wanted to keep him there for dinner, so we came back first."
As long as they are caught, Lao Zheng has confidence in Yu Shan. In fact, he is not very worried that he will not be able to catch the person. It is just a matter of time. If he can be caught within three days, it seems that God cannot tolerate those evil people.
Finding a murderer in this world is not a particularly difficult task for people like them. They all have their own ways. Yu Shan can track the breath and locate it, which is a relatively common method. It is not rare for them. There are also many ways to block it. For Gu Changzong, there are more ways to find a person, and he also has a big move.
Lao Zheng brought the brazier over, struck a match and threw it in. The flammable materials in the brazier suddenly burst into flames.
"Okay, hurry up and cross the fire basin, sprinkle some grapefruit leaf water, don't bring bad luck home."
Hong Guo saw Gu Changzong rolling his eyes at Lao Zheng, so she pulled him over the brazier, dipped some grapefruit leaves in water, and sprinkled them on him, saying with certainty, "I believe this, too. If you don't get rid of bad luck, it's unlucky. Come on, get rid of it for me, too."
The little one tiptoed to ask for the pomelo leaf: "Mom, give it to me, I will help you get rid of the bad luck."
Gu Changzong now had every right to pick up the little one and gave him the pomelo leaves. The little one carefully sprinkled the pomelo water all over the red fruit, completing the ceremony. The family entered the house happily.
Lao Zheng has cut all the vegetables. The rice is easy to eat, and an old rooster is stewing in the pot. He can also stir-fry a couple of dishes and then we can eat.
Gu Changzong rolled up his sleeves and cooked, Hongguo was lighting a fire under the stove, and Lao Zheng sat on the side and asked, "Have the Xu family and that Director Qi been released as well?"
Hong Guo poked her head out, smiling: "The Xu family was stupid, they didn't understand the situation, they didn't accept that we delivered food to them every day, and they could sleep in the quilts they brought in. The victim's family happened to be there, so they provoked them, and they were beaten by the victim's family. They relied on their big bodies and fought back, and were arrested again. Director Guan said that they would be detained for seven days this time. Director Qi saw that the situation was not right and ran back."
Lao Zheng nodded: "This punishment is not enough."
Gu Changzong had already fried one dish of lettuce and meat, and then put the shredded potatoes in the pan, quickly stir-fried them a few times, added seasonings and served them. He brought two plates and called for dinner, saying, "If they just stop now, then we can live in peace. If they still want to cause trouble, we'll do it ourselves this time, and make them behave cautiously from now on."
Lao Zheng had no objection, and neither did Hong Guo. The braised rooster at noon tasted really good, and she ate a big bowl of rice.
Old Zheng felt a little disappointed when he saw that there was one less person: "I'm afraid Yushan will come home for dinner less and less often in the future."
Gu Changzong was eager to see it, and said, "You didn't see it. After the murderer was caught, he was carried to the table and they served him tea. Yu Shan was really happy when he was recognized. This is the first time I saw him so happy after being needed. Let him be."
Hongguo picked up a chicken leg as a reward for Gu Changzong.
Diandian asked: "Mom, why do you want to reward Dad with a chicken leg?"
Hong Guo smiled and said, "Because Dad saw the essence of the matter and understood what your uncle Yushan really needed, he should be rewarded."
Diandian understood that he just needed to think more. Yushan was obviously his elder brother, but suddenly he became his uncle. Oh, it didn't matter. We were all family anyway.
…
After dinner, Gu Changzong went back to the second courtyard to drain the water. When the water was ready, he didn't see Hongguo coming, so he came over and called her, "Guoguo, the water is ready. Take a shower and take a nap in the afternoon."
Hong Guo bent down to look for clothes: "You wash first today, I'll find some clothes for you and send them over right away."
Gu Changzong was a little puzzled. He wanted Hongguo to wash first. He didn't need a bath. Just a rinse would be enough. Moreover, too much hot water was put in just now. It was too hot and he couldn't get used to it.
Hongguo came in carrying clothes for both of them, locked the bathroom door, drew the curtains and turned off the lights.
Gu Changzong's voice trembled slightly: "Guoguo, do you want to wash together?"
Hong Guo was discouraged: "No, I'm going out."
Gu Changzong pulled her back and asked, "You took so long, are you sure that Lao Zheng will drive away with Diandian? Guoguo, I really like you. I don't know what to do without you. The more I like you, the more worried I am. I know you don't dislike me, but I'm afraid that something unexpected will take you away from me."
Hong Guo quickly turned around and hugged him back: "No, Diandian has the ability to predict danger, and will not let our family get into trouble."
"That's right." Gu Changzong walked steadily and picked up Hongguo. He thought to himself, if you always take a bath like this, a hot bath would be very comfortable.
In the afternoon, Hongguo was awakened by the ringing of the phone. When she turned around, Changzong was not in the room. She answered the phone. Director Wei on the other end of the phone sounded strangely proud.
"Hongguo, I didn't expect Yu Shan to be so powerful. The excuses you made up have already filled in the loopholes. What about Gu Changzong's ability? I know you don't like to force others to answer private questions, but for things like this, the organization has a limit, don't you think?"
Hong Guo was worried about this problem and said, "Give me some time."
"Okay, I believe you can figure it out. Now that the matter is over, Diandian still has to go to kindergarten."
Hong Guo really wanted to ask about Teacher Xiao He, but she held back and said, "I'm not going back to the kindergarten anyway."
"Okay, I won't force you to do that." Director Wei took the initiative to say, "Don't be angry with Teacher Xiao He. The main thing is to protect Diandian's safety at school."
Hong Guo had guessed it, and she said, "Dian Dian is not going back to the kindergarten now, so what about Teacher Xiao He?"
Director Wei said, "I was just thinking of discussing this with you. Once you have decided on a kindergarten, please let me know so that Xiao He can go there in advance. This way, it won't draw attention."
Hongguo thought about it and agreed, as Diandian would eventually have to go back to school.
What Hongguo didn't expect was that there were people who really didn't give up and were still thinking about Diandian going to kindergarten.
Qi, who used her connections to become the principal of the government-run kindergarten, was sent home in dejected and disheartened. She had lost her spirit long ago. She saw with her own eyes how the people in the institute treated Jiang Hongguo's cousin. Even if Jiang Hongguo's family did not have a backer, they did have real ability.
Her elder sister came and persuaded her to do something in a serious manner.
"Xiao Zhen, my family has suffered so much because of you. If you don't agree to this today, I will have no place to stay in my husband's family. My mother-in-law has already found Secretary Zhuang's parents and begged them to help out a little this time. They finally agreed. Now you just need to go to Jiang Hongguo's house and ask her to send her son back to the kindergarten, and then you can continue to be the principal."
If there really was such a good thing, Director Qi would certainly be willing to do it, but now she has no confidence.
"Sister, I am willing, but Jiang Hongguo can't beg me. I think her family has a backer. Why is your mother-in-law using the method of severing ties to ask for favors from the Zhuang family?"
Her sister explained, "People are fighting for their dignity. My mother-in-law is wise. She said that as long as you can go back to be the director, outsiders will think that my mother-in-law and Secretary Zhuang's family are still close. As long as outsiders think that the relationship is still there, our family will be able to get things done in the future. Do you understand this principle?"
Director Qi suddenly realized: "Sister, I'll give it a try, it may not work."
Her sister told her that she had to succeed: "Think about it carefully. You have to come up with a good idea for your own good job!"
Director Qi thought about it for a whole night and finally came up with a good idea. This incident was caused by Diandian and Xu Zhixiao fighting over the little tiger that Xiangxiang had pinched. So she ran to Xiangxiang's house and said to them, "Go and beg Jiang Hongguo to send her son back to the kindergarten. Otherwise, you will suffer. They are soft-hearted and do not take hard measures. Just beg them nicely."
Xiangxiang's parents were indeed very worried, and actually came to Jiang Hongguo and said, "It doesn't matter where the child goes to kindergarten, so let Diandian go back. Don't let adult matters affect the child."
Hong Guo was ruthless: "Go find whoever threatened you, go complain, go to Secretary Zhuang and see what he says. Don't come to me, look at the miners in my mine, which one is in good health? They are all just struggling, and you still come to beg me, even if I have sympathy, I can't give it to you."
Especially this couple, who brought their child with them and asked Xiangxiang to beg the little one. Hongguo became even more angry and refused to compromise.
Diandian came running over and stood firmly with Hongguo: "Mom, I don't want to go to the kindergarten of the government office. I want to go to the kindergarten over at our mine. There are children I know there, and I want to play with them."
Hong Guo encouraged him: "Okay, mom supports us, so we will go to the kindergarten in the mining area."
Xiang Xiang saw her parents being bullied, so she ran over and took out the little tiger that she had pinched earlier: "I'm done with you. I'm giving this back to you."
Diandian took it and threw it away: "It's not good, it's not that I can't make friends. I won't be friends with you anymore."
This matter had originally been resolved with the setbacks faced by Director Qi and her sister's in-laws.
But Gu Changzong couldn't swallow this. He had said that it would be fine as long as they could live in peace. If there was trouble again, he would use his own methods to make those people uneasy.
Soon, Director Qi, her sister, her sister's in-laws, Xiangxiang's parents, and even the Xu family members who were still in custody, a total of more than ten people, were all having bad luck. When they went out, they would be hit by the droppings of birds flying in the sky, or be frightened and screamed by rats that suddenly jumped out. This happened several times a day and they were in a miserable state. At night, they would have nightmares of their families being broken up.
The old lady from the headmaster's sister's family always dreams of the war-torn years. She helped take care of several children, but in the end only Secretary Zhuang's parents came to claim them. The parents of the rest of the children were either lost or died in the battlefield. After a few years, she abandoned those children.
In her dream, retribution finally came. She dreamed that the parents of the abandoned children were looking for her to take her life. The old woman was so frightened that she fell ill and soon became unconscious.
Through these events one after another, Hongguo roughly guessed some of Changzong's abilities, and she thought they were pretty impressive.
