Chapter 258 258 Pei Che turned around when he heard the noise and nodded at her...
Aunt Qiao froze the pork belly so she could eat it later.
She didn't take out the rice. The rice she ate at home was bought from the system mall. The rice Ding Nianjun bought was of average quality, so she sold it later.
The cabbages were also kept in the space and not taken out. The ones at home are all grown in the space and they taste better than those grown outside.
"Your Aunt Yu came over today and brought some specialty cakes from Shandong Province, sorghum candy, pancakes, and a box of donkey-hide gelatin."
"Why doesn't my Aunt Yu come over in the evening and have dinner with us?" Ding Guo responded.
Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "That's what I said. Your Aunt Yu said that the factory has been busy lately and she has to work overtime at night. Come over and have hotpot with me after this busy period."
"That's great. Let's marinate some meat in advance and have a little barbecue."
Ding Guo felt greedy as he talked about it. He thought he would need to get a few of the barbecue stoves that can be placed on the table while grilling food. He would then draw a blueprint and find a blacksmith to fight.
After saying a few words to Aunt Qiao, Aunt Qiao went to the kitchen to check the pot on the stove, and Ding Guo came into the house.
After washing his hands, he stroked his daughter's pigtails, then touched his son's head, and went to see what Aunt Yu had brought.
Wang Chunhua was in the house watching over the two children while washing clothes, and she smiled and talked about the mischievous things that Dabao and Xiaobao had done today.
Ding Guo was delighted to hear this. He peeled off two pieces of sorghum candy, stuffed one into his own mouth, and fed another piece to Sister Chunhua.
A whole piece of donkey-hide gelatin, cut it as you eat it, and then cut it into pieces later for easy eating.
Dabao and Xiaobao couldn't eat the candy. They were drooling with greed. Ding Guo fooled them as usual: "It's bitter. Children can't eat it now. You can eat it when you grow up. After dinner, mom will shave apples for you to eat."
Dabao and Xiaobao pouted, their little faces full of suspicion, but they had no ability to resist. Their mother's bottom line in this regard was very firm, and the two children could only accept their fate.
Ding Guo went to the kitchen with some snacks and sorghum candy, feeding Aunt Qiao while helping out.
In fact, there was nothing much to do. Aunt Qiao calculated the time to cook and it was almost time now.
I steamed meat dragon, made spicy stir-fried cabbage, stewed pork belly with potatoes and dried beans, made a tomato and egg soup, and steamed egg custard for the two kids.
Aunt Qiao picked out a few pieces of stewed soft pork belly and potatoes, mashed them into meat paste, and spread them on the steamed egg custard, then poured a little stewed potato soup. The two children ate without even raising their heads. They also drank half a bowl of tomato and egg soup and ate a few bites of meat dragon.
When dinner was almost over, Bubai was humming outside, and Ding Guo heard several brisk footsteps.
She also had sharp ears, and as soon as she heard the rhythm and footsteps of the man's walking, she knew that her man had returned.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door curtain opened and Pei Che walked in.
Dabao and Xiaobao raised their greasy little mouths and called "Dad". Pei Che responded with his mouth, but his eyes were looking at his wife.
"Xiao Pei is back." Aunt Qiao also greeted him and glanced at the dishes on the table. There was nothing left. However, there was still a layer of meat dragon in the steamer in the kitchen. She hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go cook another dish."
Pei Che withdrew his gaze from his wife's face, with a smile that he couldn't suppress in his eyes. Seeing that Aunt Qiao was busy, he quickly said, "Aunt Qiao, don't worry. Do you have any steamed buns? I can just have one bite."
Ding Guo didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was mockery in this guy's eyes.
She blinked. Could it be that the thing she told the old man this morning had happened to her man? Did Pei Che know that she had eavesdropped on other people's affairs?
Aunt Qiao was still talking to Pei Che: "The meat dragon we steamed tonight is still in the pot."
Pei Che hurriedly said: "I'll just eat this."
Meat Dragon with Stuffing is made by rolling the dough into a large pancake, spreading the seasoned meat stuffing on it, rolling it up and steaming it in a pot. It tastes delicious even without any side dishes.
After saying this, he washed and dried his hands, turned around and went out to bring in the pot.
Ding Guo really guessed it, Pei Che did take over this task.
He came back for dinner mainly because he wanted to ask his wife about the case.
But they didn't talk about it at the dinner table. After dinner, the couple went to the west yard, and Ding Guo repeated to Pei Che what he had said to the old man.
Pei Che rubbed the top of his wife's head, thinking that his wife was really brave. She followed someone all the way back from such a long distance and was not afraid even in the middle of the night.
"Although you are good at fighting and strong, those who dare to resell military supplies have real weapons in their hands, so you should be cautious." Pei Che was also a little scared. After giving the instructions, he said, "By the way, I have seen the person following you. He should be coming for me."
Ding Guo was a little confused: "Is it for you?"
Are you sure?
Pei Che frowned, his eyes cold: "I saw that man near Zaohua Lane a few years ago. I saw that he was acting suspiciously, so I handed him over to the Revolutionary Committee. Maybe he found out that you are my family member and wanted to follow you for revenge. This is my current guess. I will arrest him and try him together when I get back."
Today, the person he arranged reported that the man went to the gate of Hua University again.
Ding Guo: ...
So the 'idiot' who caught Brother Hengcai is your man?
Ding Guo opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
After thinking for a while, he pretended to have just thought of something and said, "You said Zaohua Lane... I remembered that Taozi called me a few days ago and said that someone was sneaking around Zaohua Lane, asking about a tall, fair-skinned, beautiful girl. Taozi heard that the person was me, but she didn't know that person, so she didn't mention me to the other party, and only informed me. Could it be the same person?"
If you don’t know Brother Hengcai, this character must be established.
Pei Che: "When did Taozi contact you?"
Ding Guo told the date.
Pei Che thought for a moment and said, "I'll contact Uncle Xiao and ask about that person's situation."
Ding Guo nodded.
Pei Che glanced at his wife for a moment longer, and Ding Guo's heart skipped a beat: "What for?"
Could it be that this guy figured out that she was lying?
But the lie has already been told, and it can only continue to be told.
Besides, the main line of this case is the reselling of military supplies. Brother Hengcai is not the main target. At most, he is a small branch and cannot affect the whole case.
Pei Che raised his hand and wiped her cheek: "Where did you get that powder from?"
Ding Guo breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, the icing sugar on the sorghum candy got on my face!"
The two chatted for a few more words, and Pei Che left.
Ding Guo also returned to the house, washed his hands and face outside, soaked his feet, wiped the faces and feet of the two children, and tucked them into the warm bed. After the two children fell asleep, Ding Guo turned on the small speaker to pay attention to the movements outside, and then slipped into the space.
She had just washed her hands, face and feet, and didn't brush her teeth. She came in to have a small fruit feast and to see the new members.
In just one day, the piglets and lambs had grown a lot in size, and the newly added fish fry were no longer miniature and were growing very fast.
The earliest fish fry have doubled in size. It is estimated that it will not be long before she can eat the fish raised in the space pond.
After finishing a plate of fruit, Ding Guo burped. In order to digest the food, she did not let the mice touch the corn that had just matured on the black soil. She went into the palm-sized cornfield and cracked them all. She also used a sickle to cut the corn stalks and placed them next to the ones she had been saving.
Looking at the corn in the box and the corn stalks lying on the ground, Ding Guo felt a sense of accomplishment.
The stubble buried in the ground can be collected by the mouse with just one click.
The mouse complained silently in his heart: If you want to digest your food, why don't you take a walk? You're just delaying its work.
With this effort, new seeds can sprout when they are sown.
The corn stalks were not arranged neatly and had to be sorted out again.
Ding Guo didn't know that she was disliked by her own son. She went back to the house, took a shower, slipped out of the space, and fell asleep holding her two sweet babies.
The next day, Ding Guo did not leave the school at noon. He went to the cafeteria with his roommates to eat, and then returned to the dormitory for a nap.
After the afternoon class, I left through another door and went to the post office to call Lu Wenming to ask about the processing progress and rental situation at the factory.
More than 500 pairs of bell-bottom pants and more than 300 pairs of backpacks were sold. Ding Guo asked Lu Wenming to send the first batch tomorrow.
Lu Wenming suggested custom-making some shelves in the rented house. Ding Guo asked him to take charge of the arrangements and they would pay for it.
When I got home, Dazhu had returned today. He put down his schoolbag and came over to play with his nephew and niece. When he saw Ding Guo come in, he greeted her.
Ding Guo was thinking about Pei Che's actions and was a little absent-minded. He didn't sleep well at night and had a lot of messy dreams all night.
In the early morning, Ding Guo sat up after hearing some noise outside in a daze.
Pei Che lowered his voice and spoke to Aunt Qiao, who had gotten up early, in the yard.
After a while, the curtain of the main room was lifted, and Pei Che stood by the stove for a while, warming himself from the cold.
Ding Guo glanced at the time. It was only half past five. She came out of the inner room wearing her clothes. Pei Che heard the noise and turned around. He nodded at her. Ding Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
After Wang Chunhua finished cleaning the west room, she came out and saw Pei Che. She greeted him in a low voice and went out to get some water to wash up.
Pei Che followed Ding Guo into the room and glanced at the two kids on the bed, who were sleeping like little pigs, very sweetly.
He lowered his voice and said, "It's done. We caught the perpetrators with evidence. We interrogated them all night. They were tight-lipped and the few people they gave up were not serious. The next investigation will take some time."
Although they didn't find out the real culprit behind the scenes, they had a rough idea of it.
At least the person in charge of logistics can't escape. It will just depend on who loses patience next.
"I asked Yu Feng, he just got out of jail not long ago..."
Ding Guo: "Who is Yu Feng?" He then remembered, "The one who followed me?"
There was no need to lie about this, she really didn't know Brother Hengcai's name.
Pei Che nodded and continued, "Back then, the Revolutionary Committee found him suspected of reselling materials. The types of materials involved were very wide, including bicycles, cloth, watches, cigarettes, etc. He was also suspected of stealing cattle in several cases. We were arrested together last night. I asked him about going to Zaohua Lane, and he said he wanted to ask about you..."
Ding Guo remained expressionless, looking at Pei Che with a puzzled look, and took a deep breath.
"I suspected that you had seen his face when you were being chased nearby, and thought that you reported him when you were caught, so you wanted to take revenge."
Ding Guo: ...
Ding Guo certainly didn't think that Yu Feng had good intentions. He didn't tell the truth because he was still unwilling to give up on the package of goods and was still holding on to hope.
If he didn't mention it, Ding Guo would not mention it either. He just talked about the situation he encountered when he went out to take out the garbage, and finally said: "I didn't expect it was him. I thought he had offended someone in his recent business. I was in a hurry that year, and I didn't pay attention to what the man looked like."
Pei Che saw Dabao turning over. He bent down and patted him gently, saying, "That person won't come back in the short term."
Yu Feng was also unlucky. He got involved in the reselling of military supplies right after he got released. Even though it was his first time, he still had to spend a few years in prison.
The batch of goods last night was not just ordinary military supplies, but also included a batch of munitions that were transferred from other places.
There is more than one woodworm, so the next priority of their work is to dig out the few woodworms at the back.
Pei Che stood up, looked at Ding Guo, lowered his voice, and said, "Wife, this matter is of great importance. In order to protect your safety, your name cannot appear in public. But grandpa will help you apply for a batch of bonuses, and when this matter is settled, I will reissue you the certificate. So this matter..."
Ding Guo raised his hand and made a zipper-pulling motion beside his mouth, smiling with curved eyebrows: "Understood, keep it a secret!"
Pei Che smiled and nodded, then lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the forehead. Then, his expression became a little serious, and he said, "Neither the old man nor I will tolerate this matter, and we will definitely investigate it thoroughly. In the process..."
The Pei family is bound to face some attacks. As military dependents, his wife and children may also become the target of some people when they are desperate.
Ding Guo nodded slowly: "I know, you don't have to worry about me, you know my ability to protect myself. You don't have to worry about Dabao and Xiaobao, it's cold now, Aunt Qiao and the others won't take the children out, I will find a suitable excuse to remind them later. And there is Bubai, Bubai can protect the master."
I don’t know if it’s because Ding Guo fed him well water several times or what, but this dog has a very high IQ.
Pei Che: "Guoguo, I know your ability, but this matter is very serious, and the strength of the person you offended cannot be underestimated. The old man and I both plan to arrange people to protect you secretly."
Ding Guo nodded without hesitation.
She knew her true abilities; similarly, she knew that the two kids had protective amulets on them, but Pei Che didn't know that.
Being stubborn at this time would only increase Pei Che's worries and distract him, so she didn't refuse.
Pei Che said: "I will arrange someone to protect you, and Dayong and Yuling will also arrange one. They will only protect your personal safety and will not be involved in other matters."
It refers to Ding Guo and his team’s business matters.
However, Ding Guo plans to hand it over to Mosquito temporarily, and she will try to keep a low profile during this period.
