Chapter 48: Master's Wife
There are only a few people who can deal with Ji Ze these days, and even fewer who can make him so happy about misfortune.
Ji Duo hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Ji Ze raised his hands in surrender, "Alright, I know you can guess it, uncle."
There was really no sense of accomplishment in keeping his uncle in suspense, so Ji Ze simply said, "The man who stole the recipe has been caught."
Not only the person who stole the formula, but also the other party who stole the formula were put in jail.
It was unlucky for the Qin family. They spent 250 yuan to buy an incomplete formula, waited for half a month, and still couldn't make it. Then they spent 1,300 yuan to identify potassium hydroxide.
I thought I would be able to make it this time, but after more than ten days, it was still a pot of soapy water.
Who could afford this? It was a full 1,550 yuan. They had lost almost all the money they had earned in the first half of the year.
Qin Chuan smashed the ladle used to hold things, and the total assets dropped by -1 again.
The father and son couldn't get over it, and they have been looking for the person who sold them the formula these days. They suspected that the other party was playing a trick on them. Either he didn't know the correct formula, or he knew it but deliberately sold them a fake one.
As for the person selling the formula, he started selling it without fully understanding the formula, and only charged him two hundred and fifty. It was obvious that he was not a person with long-term vision.
It would take someone with a more thoughtful mind, who would rather spend more time, to figure out the last thing in Ji Ze's hand.
But he just wanted to make some quick money. Once he got the two hundred and fifty, he stopped looking for work and just kept working, either drinking or playing cards.
The Qin father and son put in a lot of effort and finally cornered the person at the card table. Then, when the golden wind and jade dew met, they defeated countless people in the world.
Before the man's brain was beaten into a dog's brain, someone reported the case. When the police from the nearby police station arrived, a group of people were still fighting. The Qin family father and son had red eyes and were cursing while beating. So everyone lined up at the police station, including the one who organized the card game at home.
After entering the police station, the Qin father and son calmed down and began to remain silent, fearing that they would reveal more things that would be detrimental to themselves.
However, when the police went there, they had already heard some of the ins and outs of the case. The more they thought about it, the more familiar it seemed, so they went back and took out the report record and looked through it.
Come to think of it, someone actually reported a case before, saying that the worker he hired stole something, and after comparing his facial features, he was found to be the one who was beaten.
The man didn't hold back either. When the police asked him, he confessed the details of the Qin father and son. Ji Ze was stunned when he received the notice that the case had been solved.
The reason why he reported the case was to mislead the other party. It didn't matter whether the person was caught or not. After all, the amount of evidence was not high, and it would not be enough to leave a criminal record even if he was caught. Unexpectedly, this gang had an internal conflict and sent themselves to the police station, and also brought a pair of behind-the-scenes masterminds.
"They spent over a thousand dollars to hire someone to appraise it?" Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this from Ji Duo. "What a rip-off this is."
They spent 1,550 yuan before earning a penny. No wonder the police didn't find the man, they did. This is the power of hatred.
They are also very skilled and bold, thinking that they have made soaps before and know everything, so they dare to invest so much money without even verifying the facts.
Lin Qiao sat on the sofa and looked at the account. She asked the man, "Isn't this amount enough to leave a criminal record?"
"Not enough." Ji Duo just walked in and sat on the other side of the sofa, drinking water with his eyes lowered. "But they fought in a group and their nature was bad. It's enough to leave a criminal record."
"Pfft!" This time Lin Qiao laughed out loud.
How miserable! He didn't get jailed for stealing the recipe, but got himself jailed for an internal fight and now has a criminal record.
This cost me 1,550 yuan first, and I have to pay the fine and go to the hospital later. If I had known this would happen, I should not have had such a crooked idea in the first place.
Ji Duo sat there, right next to Lin Qiao's mole at the end of her eye. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes became lively. In the darkening evening sky, there was a kind of charm that made people want to linger over and over again at night, but it was more generous and dignified than at night, making people slow down their movements unconsciously.
Lin Qiao didn't notice it. After looking at the account, he counted the money again happily.
These are the foundation of her life. Even if this man really turns into a dog one day and doesn't want to share his money with her, she can still live a good life from now on.
"Very happy?" Ji Duo asked in a low voice beside him.
Lin Qiao turned her head and found that the man was holding a cup in one hand and staring at her, but she couldn't tell any emotion in his words.
However, this man seems to ask more questions recently. Unlike before, when he mostly talked about arrangements and instructions, he was simple, direct, fast and efficient.
Lin Qiao thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
To be honest, his previous way of dealing with people was more like that of a superior to a subordinate, or an elder to a younger person. He arranged everything well and was able to take care of people, but it lacked a sense of intimacy, and he was not very familiar with his partners.
Of course, when the lights were off at night, they were not unfamiliar at all, because no one was more familiar with each other's bodies than them...
Thinking of this, Lin Qiao recalled the recent times when she had eaten meat. The man's behavior was different from that during the day and he spoke even less.
There were several times after that, when she happened to turn around, she found him staring at her quietly, and she didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, it was like this after returning from the hospital. It was estimated that not finding the person this time was not only a big blow to his elder, but also had some impact on him.
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "I'm glad. After all, who doesn't like money?"
When an author from Jinjiang says he wants to give out red envelopes, the enthusiasm of the comments below will increase several times.
She pulled out a few from a big pile of paper and stuffed them along the man's waistline, which was squeezed by the belt. She raised her eyes and said, "Smile for me, a rich woman, and these are all yours."
To be honest, it was not very serious. Ji Duo frowned at that time, "Where did you learn all this?"
Lin Qiao teased him because he looked serious.
Seeing him frown, she not only didn't take her hand back, but also probed the finger hooked on the waist of his military pants, and went down along the outline of his abdominal muscles, "Why? You think it's not enough?"
She was like the rich woman who touched the male model in the nightclub. She even thought she was happier than the rich woman, after all, the man had a better figure and a better waist than the male model.
The slender fingers were separated by a layer of shirt, but they were more stimulating than at night when there was nothing between them. Ji Duo's abdominal muscles tightened and he couldn't help but move his Adam's apple.
This made his eyes look even more profound. "Lin Qiao."
Calling her name clearly revealed some danger, but Lin Qiao paused for a moment but did not let go.
"We're going to the cafeteria to eat soon."
At this point, could the old cadre really do something to her on the sofa?
She was answered with a crisp "click". The man raised his hand and put the cup back on the tea table.
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Lin Qiao jumped up, grabbed the money and account on the coffee table and ran, "I'll go take the things back upstairs."
The man turned a corner and went out directly from the other end of the sofa. After a few steps, he ran to the door of the living room like a little fox running away.
Even when he heard footsteps on the stairs, the man didn't show any intention of getting up to pick the man up and give him a beating or doing anything else. Instead, he picked up the water cup and took a sip.
With this movement, the feeling of a foreign object on his waist became immediately obvious. He lowered his head and slowly pulled out those big balls.
He doesn't say what he should say, doesn't ask what he should ask, and becomes more and more courageous when he shouldn't tease people.
She sat on his thighs, stepped on his knees, and now she hooked her fingers around the waist of his pants and touched him inside without any scruples. When he made a move to get serious, she ran away faster than anyone else.
After all, it's still a little small.
He is only nineteen years old. No matter how mature he appears on weekdays, he sometimes shows an immature side.
But this commotion made people feel much more comfortable than her calm expression and not asking any questions.
When Lin Qiao came down from the stairs again, Ji Duo's expression had returned to normal, and those big group photos were gone.
As if not noticing her gaze, the man stood up and went to the cafeteria with her while talking about the data.
"Then I'll bring him over after the evening study session." Lin Qiao said, "I've said everything I can say. The rest of the choice is up to him."
It sounded as if he would force the other party. He didn't care about Xiaoze. Ji Duo just said "um" lightly.
When Lin Qiao went to the school to supervise the self-study class in the evening, she called Junzi out and told him about this matter.
When the soldier heard that Ji Duo was looking for him, he immediately became nervous, "What does Captain Ji want to talk to me about?" He didn't know why he was so afraid of Ji Duo when he was not afraid of Brigade Commander Liang.
"Nothing much, I just heard that you want to join the army, so I want to know what people think about joining the army now."
The soldiers were relieved when Lin Qiao said this, but they couldn't help but murmur: "There are so many people in the military region, why did they choose me? There are also disadvantages to being so close."
He is such a funny guy. Lin Qiao couldn't help but pat him on the head and said, "Go back to study. Come with me after school."
"Okay!" The soldier ran back and immediately whispered something to the people around him. Looking at his beaming face, he was most likely showing off.
Lin Qiao was about to return to the podium when she noticed Qi Huaiwen looking up at her, then standing up and walking towards her.
She was not in a hurry, so she turned around and went back to the corridor, waiting for someone to follow her out. She whispered, "What's wrong?"
Since Wu Haiyang left, Qi Huaiwen has been a little silent these past two days, and it's obvious that he's not in a very good mood.
In fact, this feeling is easy to understand. If you want to say that Qi Huaiwen hates Wu Haiyang, it is not true. What he cares about is the attitude and behavior of Vice Principal Qi. But if he wants to get along with Wu Haiyang like ordinary people, there is such a thing in the way, which he cannot do.
Now that Wu Haiyang has left on his own initiative, he can't help but feel mixed emotions, and he'll be fine after some time to digest them.
Facing Lin Qiao, the boy was not as cold as usual. When Lin Qiao asked him, he said, "I heard that Teacher Lin wants to take the college entrance examination next year."
Lin Qiao had mentioned this in Principal Zeng's office. Many people knew about it, and there was nothing to hide. "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Teacher, do you have the review materials and notes for the first year of high school?" Qi Huaiwen lowered his eyes, this time showing some discomfort.
In the past, he was lazy and didn't study hard, but he always looked directly at Lin Qiao and seemed very frank. Now that he suddenly wanted to study, he began to feel uncomfortable.
Lin Qiao wanted to laugh, but didn't. "Yes, do you want to start from the first year of high school?"
The boy felt even more uncomfortable when his thoughts were spoken. "Didn't you ask me to find a way to catch up on my studies?"
She asked him to make up for the lessons he had missed in the past few days after school started. It would have been fine if he hadn't figured it out, but now that he had figured it out, he even wanted to make up for the lessons he had missed in his freshman year of high school.
This is a good thing. Lin Qiao will not discourage students' enthusiasm. "Which subjects do you want? I'll bring them to you next week."
Tomorrow is Sunday and they have no classes at school.
I didn't expect that Qi Huaiwen would be fine if he didn't want it, but this time he asked for it in a hurry, "Can I go with you to get it after evening study?"
It was obvious that Junzi had just returned to his seat and was bragging about going to his house in the evening.
It is said that crying children get milk, and the more worried students are, the more teachers will pay more attention to them, not to mention that this is the one who found it himself. Lin Qiao thought that the security here in the military area is good and it is not far away, so he did not refuse, "Okay, then you two will go with me tonight."
So after Ji Duo finished reading the news, he sat on the sofa and flipped through the newspaper for a while. When Lin Qiao came back with the soldiers, he found that there was another person behind Lin Qiao.
It’s not that Lin Qiao can’t bring students back, it’s mainly about this person. As soon as he saw those peach blossom eyes, Ji Duo remembered Lin Qiao’s words “Do you have anything else to do?”
When Qi Huaiwen saw him, he probably remembered the hospital incident. After the soldier asked how he was, he looked at him and called out, "Master's Wife."
Master's wife?
Ji Duo's expression froze at that moment, and Junzi almost laughed out loud. He quickly covered his mouth and turned his head to the side.
"Is there something wrong?" Qi Huaiwen glanced over coldly.
"No, no." The soldier waved his hands repeatedly, but he was holding the strap of his schoolbag and couldn't help wanting to see Ji Duo's expression.
Lin Qiao didn't expect this boy to be so obedient. When she introduced her as Master's Wife, he really called her Master's Wife.
Seeing that the man was silent for a while, she quickly helped to explain: "That day in the hospital, I was just joking."
He should have known it was a joke, but he actually shouted like that, which was really irritating.
Ji Duo had led troops for many years, and he could tell whether a person was truly obedient or had a rebellious nature. However, as an elder and a teacher's family member, he had no reason to argue with a student who had barely grown up, so he just asked Lin Qiao, "What's the matter?"
"He asked me to borrow his freshman year review materials and notes. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I brought him back with me."
Students are bound to be nervous when they come to their teacher's home, especially when there is a serious-looking and powerful Ji Duo at home. In order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Qiao simply took out the soda at home and said, "Qi Huaiwen, come with me to get something. You two can talk in the living room."
"Teacher, we don't need to drink soda, you can keep it for yourself." Junzi quickly refused, and Qi Huaiwen didn't want it either.
"All the things have been taken out, you don't have to be polite to the teacher." Lin Qiao was already looking for the bottle opener he had bought two days ago.
It turned out that I didn't know where she put it last time. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Two students were still waiting here. After talking, I took the things and went home.
Lin Qiao simply didn't waste time looking for it and handed the soda bottle directly to Ji Duo, "Help me open it."
This is the soda he bought for her. Not only does she have to give it to others, but he also has to help open it...
Ji Duo felt a little weird for a moment. His eyes followed the slender and beautiful hand back to himself. After a pause, he went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.
The soldier took it and shook his head with a chuckle, "I just wanted to consult me on a few things, but you bought me a soda. How embarrassing."
The question turned into a consultation so quickly. Needless to say, the brat was obviously in high spirits again.
Lin Qiao found it a little funny. Sure enough, Ji Duo looked over at her with a questioning look. She then whispered what she had just said in his ear.
The man was obviously speechless after hearing this, but after looking at the soldier who was still pretending to be coy and showing off, he said nothing.
Lin Qiao handed another bottle of soda to Qi Huaiwen and was about to take him out when she turned back and swept the tea table in the living room.
Just as Ji Duo was about to ask, she had already taken the enamel pot away and said, "Talk to them nicely, don't act like you are a senior cadre in a meeting."
These words reminded Ji Duo of what they had talked about last time while holding the enamel pot, and his expression froze again.
After the footsteps faded away, he pointed to the sofa and asked the soldier to sit down. He tried to slow down his tone and began to speak along the lines of Lin Qiao's excuse.
On the other hand, Qi Huaiwen followed Lin Qiao like a good student and went up to the second floor without any intention of entering Lin Qiao's room. Seeing him politely stop at the door, Lin Qiao simply took out all the things and let him choose in the corridor.
The boy took math, English, and biology, and gave the rest back to Lin Qiao. "Thank you, Teacher Lin."
"Don't we need physics?" Lin Qiao was a little surprised. She remembered that boys had the worst performance in this subject and they never passed it unless they handed in a blank paper.
Qi Huaiwen was silent after hearing this, "No need, I know everything."
This answer made Lin Qiao silent. In the end, he just put away the other materials and notes and said, "Look carefully. I'm waiting to see your results in the next exam."
After seeing Qi Huaiwen off, Ji Duo finished talking to Junzi. When Junzi came out, he was obviously worried. When he saw her, he just greeted her hurriedly, "Teacher Lin."
"Do you want me to take you home and tell your family?"
"No need. Has Qi Huaiwen left?" After all, they were good classmates, so Junzi did not forget to ask.
Hearing that the person had left, he also said goodbye, "Goodbye, Teacher Lin, Teacher..." He suddenly realized halfway through the sentence and quickly changed the topic, "Goodbye, Captain Ji."
Lin Qiao watched him go through the gate next door before going back and watching Ji Duo go to the gate. "What did you tell him?"
Ji Duo kept moving, "The promotion ratio last year, the year before, five years ago, ten years ago. What level are those who have studied in military academies now, what level are those who have not studied, what units will they be assigned to after they are discharged from the army, and what units will military officers be assigned to after they are transferred to civilian jobs."
It really is all about speaking the truth. I guess even if Commander Liang says a thousand times at home that being a soldier is not as good as attending a military academy, the impact of this data is not as great as it is for people.
If the soldier still chooses to join the army before finishing high school, then she will have no choice.
It’s not easy for ordinary people to get these data, right?
Lin Qiao was about to ask the man when she saw him lock the door. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her in the darkness. "Master's Wife?"
She was choked at that time
"I told you I was just joking, you're not going to take this seriously, are you?"
Ji Duo said nothing, walked a few steps into the living room, and put away the soda bottle and the data he had shown to the soldiers.
Lin Qiao stood by the door waiting for him to finish. Just as she turned off the light in the living room, someone grabbed her by the armpit and the leg with one hand and picked her up like a child.
She was startled and her voice rose unconsciously, "What are you doing?"
The man said nothing, but carried her back to the sofa and put her down. He then took out a few familiar big banknotes from his pocket and asked, "Didn't you give me the money?"
No, she flirted with him before dinner, what time is it now? He wouldn't have been holding it in until now, waiting for dark, right?
Lin Qiao reached out and took the big group photos. "I won't give them to you now, okay?"
However, the man had already kissed her, with one hand pressing on the back of her neck and the other on the sofa, leaving her no way to retreat.
Lin Qiao's will to resist was very weak, or even nonexistent. After just two kisses, she only had one last thought left, "Condom."
What answered her was the sound of plastic packaging colliding in the silent darkness. And there was more than one sound...
The next day, Lin Qiao went downstairs and saw the sofa and the coffee table in front of the sofa. She felt it was a bit difficult to look at them.
It is not easy to be a rich woman. Not only do you need to be wealthy, you also need to have good legs and a strong waist.
But after eating, her brain worked better. Thinking of Junzi and Qi Huaiwen, she couldn't help but think of herself and her classmates in her previous life.
It is said that the college entrance examination is a watershed in life, which will largely determine your future destiny. However, most students have no idea about the so-called future until the end of the college entrance examination and start to apply for their majors. It is only after graduation and entering the society that they finally realize it.
Unlike later times, there is no information explosion and it is more difficult for students to understand society, so she wants to add a practical class for them.
"Do you want them to take up jobs in factories and shops and gain some experience?" Vice President Qi repeated what Lin Qiao had just said.
Lin Qiao nodded. "You know the current college entrance examination admission rate. Each class has at most two or three undergraduates and ten or so technical secondary school students. Most of the remaining students will go to work or join the army. I want them to see what they can do after graduation, and have a plan for the future."
No matter what choice you make in the end, don't wait ten or twenty years to regret not making the best choice because of your ignorance.
"I can't make the decision. Let me ask Principal Zeng for you." Vice Principal Qi did not make any promises, but when he got to Principal Zeng, he tried his best to persuade him.
Principal Zeng had also taken students to the countryside to help the villagers to learn about illiteracy. After much hesitation, he finally agreed. However, there were many conditions, such as reasonable allocation of time, attention to student safety, students voluntarily signing up, and class teachers contacting units to organize student practice.
Everything else is easy to deal with, except for this internship unit. Lin Qiao can't just drag everyone to the construction site to move bricks, right?
After much consideration, she finally chose a printing factory that had some dealings with their school as her first practice location.
In fact, some schools nowadays open school-run factories, firstly to increase the school's income, and secondly to arrange jobs for the families of some school employees.
But their school was originally a place to arrange jobs for military families, the funding had always been in place, and there were not many people, so they did not open a factory, and the books were printed in other printing factories. Lin Qiao found time to discuss it, and the other party agreed to let them go on the day when the workers had a holiday.
The next step is to coordinate the students' schedules. After all, this is a one-day-off-a-week period, and some units have different rest times.
Walking out of the printing factory, Lin Qiao was about to go to the bus stop to take the bus back when he saw a young man carrying two buckets on a shoulder pole and starting to sell them at the factory gate.
"Liquid soap! The liquid soap used by everyone in Yandu! It's great for washing hands and hair, and it's three pounds for two yuan! Three pounds for two yuan!"
Her steps were paused.
Two yuan for three pounds?
Didn’t they set the price at one yuan per pound?
