Lin Dayi sent Zhang Xinyi back to the ward, left her two days' worth of sweet potato porridge, and then left with a cold face. If it weren't for not wanting to make things look too awkward, Lin Dayi wouldn't have given her a penny.
Jiang Shushu hid in the corner, watching Lin Dayi, who was in a very bad mood and seemed to be suppressing something, walk away. She knew that the matter was half done. Although Zhang Xinyi successfully avoided the police, she could not escape the suspicion of the Huaxing Brigade.
When the Public Security Bureau was getting off work, Yang Xiaobei grabbed Zhao Lai Fu and smiled warmly, "Brother, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to treat your boyfriend to some braised pork? Here, I have two kilograms of meat coupons. I specially exchanged them last night, but I've been very busy today and forgot about them." Yang Xiaobei stuffed the two kilograms of meat coupons into Zhao Lai Fu's hands.
Zhao Laifu looked at Yang Xiaobei with gratitude. His mind immediately flashed back to the time when Yang Xiaobei had humbled himself and exchanged his meat coupons for his brother's happiness. Zhao Laifu was so moved that he almost cried. "Brother, you're so kind! I'm so lucky to have a brother like you. Don't worry, I'll return the meat coupons to you when I have more money. I'll only take one pound, and you can take the rest."
"No, no, no, it doesn't matter how big a deal it is, you take it. Didn't you say that your partner's birthday is next month? You can always use it then.
"Thank you, brother. I'll take the meat ticket for now, but I still have to return it, otherwise I won't be able to accept it."
Yang Xiaobei smiled more sincerely, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Brothers should help each other. Haha, Laifu, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you lend me your mother's 24-inch bicycle for a few days?"
"No problem. No, don't you live in the dormitory? Why do you need a bicycle? Besides, you're a grown man, why do you need such a short bicycle? Are you in a relationship?" Zhao Lai Fu's eyes widened instantly.
Yang Xiaobei: “…” Not yet, but it will be soon. I have confidence, but I haven’t succeeded yet, so I can’t tell you yet.
"The one who was hit and had his hands and feet broken today was the teacher who taught me military boxing. Are both the husband and wife injured and lying in bed? The only one who is with you now is your daughter Jiang Shushu. When I went to visit her at noon today, I heard that Jiang Shushu was planning to go to the hospital to deliver meals sooner or later. However, her bicycle was hit by a tree some time ago and was broken. She lives far away from the hospital, and she has to go to work, so it is too tiring for her to run back and forth. So I thought of lending her my bicycle for a few days. This is also a token of my appreciation." Show your sincerity first so that you can express your feelings.
"No problem. My mom doesn't use it often anyway. Plus, she's at my grandma's house and won't be back for a week, so she can use it without worry. Come on, come home with me and ride the bike away."
Lin Dayi found Lin Dagui and told him everything that happened at the police station in the afternoon.
"Dagui, even though Zhang Xinyi denies it, I believe Bai Yao more."
"I agree with you. Damn it, this woman is really asking for her own life. It seems I was too kind to her before. When she comes back, she will be the one doing the hardest and most tiring work in our team."
"It's easy to be a thief, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Zhang Xinyi's life is not easy. She did something like this just to make her life easier. If we push her too hard, who knows what other extreme things she might do. Zhang Xinyi can't be allowed to stay."
"I know I can't stay, but I don't have the final say."
"You can use this incident as an example and bring up Zhang Xinyi's past behavior of being a rogue and framing others."
Lin Dagui thought about it and thought this method was worth a try. "Okay, I'm going all out. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the Youth League Office to find Yang Aijun. I want Bai Yao and Zhang Xinyi, the two troublemakers, to stay away from me. Otherwise, I don't know when I'll be pissed off to death."
"I'll go with you tomorrow. For the safety of our team, I'll sacrifice my reputation." Even if I have to cry, I'm going to cry Zhang Xinyi away.
Yang Xiaobei bought some fruit and then rode his bicycle to the hospital. When Yang Xiaobei arrived, Jiang Shushu and the other three were chatting about family matters.
Jiang He: "Xiaobei is here, come in and sit down."
"Okay, Grandpa Jiang, are you feeling better? I bought some tomatoes and bananas. If you're hungry tonight, have some."
"Thank you, that's thoughtful. Are you adapting to being a police officer? Have you been promoted?"
"I'm adapting very well. I became a full-time employee on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year..."
…
Then the three old men took turns asking Yang Xiaobei questions about work and life.
Then the group of people talked about the issue of delivering meals. At this time, Xu Hehua and the other two also knew that Jiang Shushu's bicycle was broken, and Jiang Shushu had to carry the dinner from home that night.
Jiang He: "Shushu, the three of us can just eat at the hospital cafeteria. Your place is too far away, and you still have to go to work, so don't send us there. I heard from your mom that the food at the hospital cafeteria is also very delicious, so we can just eat there."
"Dad, how far can it be? You know I run several kilometers every morning. This distance is nothing to me. I even consider it as exercise."
Xu Hehua didn't want Jiang Shushu to be too tired, but she also wanted Jiang He to eat better. "Shushu, you don't have to send us meals in the morning and evening. Just send us one meal in the morning. The three of us can eat in the hospital cafeteria for lunch and dinner. You get off work very late at night, and you must be tired after a long day of work. You don't have to come to see us again. Just come in the morning."
The Jiang He brothers thought this was fine and agreed.
"Mom, this distance is really not far. Most of the dishes in the hospital cafeteria are just watery soups. I can't do anything about lunch. I have to deliver them to you in the morning and evening. Only if you eat well can the three of you recover well."
"Grandma Jiang, you don't have to worry. My colleague's mother has gone back to her parents' home and won't be back for a week. I borrowed her bicycle for a few days and gave it to Shushu. As for lunch, I get off work early and it's close to the hospital. I can get lunch for you then and you're guaranteed to get good food. We don't have to wait for the nurse to come. The nurses all get lunch together and there are quite a lot of them. The weather is still a bit cold now, so the food may be cold by the time it's delivered to the ward." He couldn't miss such a good opportunity to show off.
Jiang Lao Ba: "Don't bother, don't bother, let's wait and see tomorrow at noon. If it's really cold food, I should be better the day after tomorrow. I'll go get it then."
"Uncle Eight, we are so familiar with each other, why are you still polite to me? When we were in Hualing Brigade, you always took care of me. What's wrong with me helping you get meals for a few days? We haven't seen each other for only a few months, and you are so unfamiliar with me. Are you being formal?" Yang Xiaobei felt a little disappointed.
Jiang Laoba was anxious, "No, no, how could it be..."
