Chapter 459: Cough, black smoke billows
"Momo, you're here!"
As Jiang Ning opened the door, Yaya threw away the half-washed vegetables in her hand and rushed over.
As soon as Huaqiangbei saw the energetic little girl, he immediately smiled brightly.
He gently pushed Momo, who was beside him, forward.
He said nothing, but everything was implied.
He stumbled forward a few steps silently.
Yaya just happened to walk to his side.
Yaya grabbed Momo's little hand and said happily.
"Momo, look! These are the vegetables my mother planted. My mother said that children should eat more vegetables so that they can grow taller."
"And over there! Over there! These are the flowers my mom planted. Aren't they beautiful? Mom said that in summer, there will be even more flowers and they will be even more beautiful!"
"This... this! This is my little
Basin, this is where I wash the vegetables. Look, isn’t it clean? Let’s eat meat and vegetables together later! ”
Momo was held by Yaya's hand and walked around the small yard.
Not only the vegetables and flowers, he wanted to introduce even every stone and bud in the yard to Momo.
Yaya tilted her head slightly and invited Mo Mo with a bright smile.
"Momo, do you want to wash the vegetables with me?"
The little boy's calm eyes met those big, sparkling, clear eyes.
He nodded slowly.
that's all.
Yaya has already started teaching Momo how to wash vegetables. The little girl, who is only three years old, not only speaks clearly, but also teaches in an academically correct manner.
Huaqiangbei stood aside, watching the interaction between the two children. Behind his beard, his face was filled with a loving smile.
Just as he was leisurely enjoying this scene.
Suddenly.
A bunch of things were stuffed into Huaqiangbei's hands.
There are fans, matches, and confetti.
It looks like a bunch of useless junk.
Hua Qiangbei was stunned and looked at the person next to him with a puzzled look.
The person who stuffed the thing into his hand was Qin Jiulie.
Qin Jiulie narrowed his black eyes slightly and spoke in a commanding tone that brooked no room for argument.
"Your task is to light a fire and add charcoal. We are going to have a barbecue today."
While talking.
Qin Jiulie signaled with his eyes and put the barbecue grill aside.
There is a layer of black coal on the barbecue rack, and the barbecue net is also prepared. All that is left is to start the fire and burn the charcoal.
This most important task fell on Huaqiangbei.
Although they are guests, Huaqiangbei is not at all opposed to this task.
He soon started laughing cheerfully again.
"Okay, it's just making a fire, it's not a difficult task, just watch me show off my skills!"
Huaqiangbei held the sundries in his hands and walked leisurely towards the barbecue grill.
When passing by Jiang Ning.
He lowered his voice and deliberately winked at Jiang Ning.
"Yaya's mom, is Minister Qin also so arrogant at home? How can you stand this man? Have you ever thought about divorce?"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Jiulie's cold eyes had already drifted over.
Huaqiangbei didn't care at all, shrugged his shoulders and continued walking forward.
It was as if the person who said those "divisive" words was not him.
Jiang Ning could only look at the angry man, and then exchanged a silent glance with Qin Jiulie.
Because Huaqiangbei was talking about Minister Qin.
Obviously, he knew Qin Jiulie's identity.
To some extent, Huaqiangbei had come here to have a meal before and had also been to this family quarters, so he might have some basic guesses about Qin Jiulie's background.
But it is necessary to know Qin Jiulie's identity as a minister so accurately.
This still requires some connections and means.
Huaqiangbei must have investigated something.
He said it so casually, as if he wanted Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie to know it on purpose.
Qin Jiulie's eyes darkened and he frowned slightly.
Jiang Ning walked over, got close to Qin Jiulie, and spoke in a low voice.
"Alie, I don't sense any danger from him. He probably did this just for Mo Mo."
Qin Jiulie nodded and said something that surprised Jiang Ning.
"I met him once."
Jiang Ning was stunned and looked up in surprise.
Qin Jiulie whispered, "There is a new plan for urban construction recently, and he is one of the village representatives."
Qin Jiulie was talking about what happened in recent days.
A general mobilization meeting was held for the development plan of the entire Shenzhen city.
Qin Jiulie's status did not require him to attend such meetings in person, so he did not attend, but instead saw the photos of the meeting afterwards.
Among a group of village representatives who were all in their seventies and eighties, Huaqiangbei, who was only 30 years old and dressed in a flowered shirt and had a full beard, stood out.
Qin Jiulie's subordinates reported.
The entire development plan did not go very smoothly.
Because the older generation of villagers, based on their inherent old ways of thinking and habits, would not accept changes to anything that was originally there.
Doing so will definitely result in losses to their interests.
However.
Huaqiangbei, who behaves like a thorn, is the only one among these people who supports the development plan.
Such behavior also made Qin Jiulie look at Huaqiangbei in a different light.
This matter involves a wide range of issues, and Qin Jiulie is not in a position to tell Jiang Ning many of the details.
But at least, Qin Jiulie did not object to Jiang Ning's dealings with Huaqiangbei.
This is also one of the reasons why Huaqiangbei can visit us today.
Jiang Ning also felt that the subtle atmosphere between Qin Jiulie and Huaqiangbei was much more harmonious than the last time they met.
As the couple were talking in a low voice.
“Ahem!”
“Ahem!”
“Ahem!”
“Ahem!”
Suddenly, a series of coughing sounds were heard in the yard.
Along with it, there was also a wisp of black smoke.
"Mom! Ahem!"
The three little guys were choked by the black smoke and couldn't breathe. They immediately ran to Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie, hugging their thighs tightly with their hands.
Yaya saw Mo Mo lying motionless.
"Momo, hurry up!"
She pulled Momo and ran towards Jiangning together.
“Ahem!”
“Ahem!”
Among these coughs, the loudest one came from Huaqiangbei, the culprit.
He held a fan in one hand and covered his mouth with the other, his whole face wrinkled.
And in front of him was a mess of black charcoal.
I don't know how he did it, but the charcoal fire not only didn't burn red, but instead produced a lot of thick black smoke.
Everyone in the yard started coughing non-stop.
"Hey! Just bear with it... just bear with it! I'll be there in a minute, I'll be there in a minute!"
Huaqiangbei was in a panic and had no idea how to clean up. He just kept waving the fan in his hand.
Not only did the smoke not dissipate, but it became thicker and thicker, with black smoke billowing out.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
"Ahem! Ugh!"
"Aning, is your house on fire?"
Not only were there coughs, but also worried voices coming from the neighbor next door through the wall.
